Listen to Jesus Christ These words are for those who believe in Jesus Christ and know God because of him. These words should spark a fire in you, a blazing inferno: "Everyone will be salted with fire." I freely give to you some food of perseverance that I have been fed. I hand you some of the bread that The Master has handed to me. Know God's Reasons for doing this. The Master, who feeds me, loves you. In the same way, I have been commanded to love you. Everything Jesus Christ says is true. I give you these words also as a reminder; The Holy Spirit gave them to me to fortify me. Jesus Christ spoke them to me because he loves me. Eat this food now. Kindness Justice Righteousness I rely upon God's Faithfulness. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have not kept my decrees; return to me, and I will return to you. You are all under a curse because you are robbing me. Entrust me with all your thoughts and heart, and I will be faithful to you, guiding you in the way you should live, according to my Faithful Commandments. And I will bless you with more than you know with which to do, or how to store it all. I will take care of you and give you what you need, to the admiration of all other people. You have said that it is futile to serve me, but on the day when I act, I will spare whoever fears me and honors my name in their heart, I will remember a person who serves me, my Father will honor the one who serves me, and where I am my servant also will be. They will be my treasured possession, and you will again see the distinction between the righteous -- those who serve God -- and the wicked -- those who do not." (Paraphrased from Malachi 3 and elsewhere.) "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." God alone is Good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Keep Watch I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. God is in control. Immanuel The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies. Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive. Do not think evil of your brother in your heart. Do not be angry with each other. I DESIRE MERCY, NOT SACRIFICE All Praise to Jesus Christ who is in Heaven, and to God Our Heavenly Father who is within him. It is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ. I have a master, and he is in Heaven, and his name is Jesus Christ. "As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue confess." I need Jesus Christ. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. The meaning of life is to obey God. "The work of God is to believe in The One who he sent." Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ his only begotten Son. Look after your neighbor. Man does not live just upon bread, but also upon every word that comes from Jesus Christ The King, God's Living Mouth and Hand and Son who is seated at his Right Hand in Heaven. Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test. Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. The entire responsibility of a Christian is to point to Jesus Christ. God does and Jesus Christ does. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Whenever you eat or drink, at some point, accept some of it as Jesus' body and blood. This is how he told us to remember him: by his Mercy, not in terms of sacrifice. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." You have the right to Praise Jesus Christ. You have been chosen to serve The Absolute Truth. "My words are Spirit, and they are Life. The true worshipers must worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will." My Kingdom is not of this world. Man does not exclusively live upon bread, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God. Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end. Well do I know your suffering. Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the Name of the Lord and rely upon his God. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me. I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy and my burden is light." God's Jealousy is my Life. I commanded you, "Live!" Why should you die? Should you not rather repent and live? I do not delight in the death of anyone. I give you My Peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God, trust also in me. Jesus Christ has proven that God is not cruel. What is highly valuable among men is detestable to God. Jesus Christ is the Source of Purity to God. His eyes are fire. I ask Jesus Christ to forgive for me, and he forgives others for me, and I accept his forgiveness of them. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. There is only one Strength; everything else is relative weakness. The righteous will live by faith. They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to God and learns from him comes to Jesus Christ, and whoever comes to him will never die, but he will raise them up on the Last Day. Jesus Christ builds his own church upon the faith that he is God's Son. "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." And the gates of Hell will not prove stronger than it. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me; they follow my voice, and I give them Eternal Life. [I am the Life, and I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have given myself to my sheep to have forever, and My Father is the God of Life, my God, and through me, you live and he is your God and Father also, because you live through knowledge of me and of God because I teach you through your faith in me.] Nobody can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All; nobody can remove them from my Father's Hand. The Father and I are One." Our salvation is not through our faithfulness (I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me), but through our belief and education through the Teacher and Master and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who is the Source of Purity to God and who is always faithful to us and to The Sovereign God whose name is "God Saves" and whose words are the Absolute Truth, undeniable and proven by Existence which Jesus Christ holds in himself: "I am who I am." But now if you are so inclined to do so and understand and believe, here is a little more for you to have. -- People communicate as assertions and requests. Emotions result from multiple assertions and/or requests. Many times, there are implied requests, and less often, implied assertions. A single assertion or request is devoid of emotion. To see past the emotion, identify the implied and explicated assertions and requests present in the social situation. Communicating has an implied request to be heard and listened-to. Consider this for context: God already knows who will listen to him, yet he has given the Absolute Truth freely to be considered by all for the rest of eternity. Since that is true, then everyone has the right to communicate freely. -- People need care all throughout their lives. Even though you are older than an infant, you still need care. The requirement that each person has of Jesus Christ is the definition of "need". Jesus Christ is the absolute caretaker, the one who cares for all mankind. And God cares for all he created in Existence. And yet, "All men will hate you because of me." Truly, this includes a lack of recognition that there is only one strength, and that all that Exists is a measure of relative weakness. People will continue to suffer all throughout history, but it is that dishonor of faithfulness which causes a person in the end times to no longer understand. "But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on The Earth?" The situation is that if you refuse to recognize what is, you cannot understand what is. "Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." So the world will be filled with those who do not belong to God, and true to form, they will strike out at those who do belong to God. "Leave them alone. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." A person who sees cannot make a blind person see. All they can do is offer to help the blind person when they fall into a pit, and then, after being rejected by rote, be on their way and let God sort them out. The life of a faithful person is very different in their heart, mind, soul and will, than the life of a cruel person. The journey set before them varies according to who they are in God's perception. Since man cannot give the absolute justice of salvation to another man, and since each person is accountable to God anyway, why bother trying to prove, improve, or justify oneself in the eyes of another person? Again, the lack of faithfulness and lack of tutelage by God will cause people to lack an understanding that life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. So I tell you who hear me: I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. -- If a man hands you an envelope addressed to him, what do you do with it? Give to God what belongs to God: your heart, mind, soul and will -- all that you are as he created you. -- How is it possible for you to have faith while you accept honor from each other, but have no desire for the honor which comes from the only God? -- To believe in oneself is folly. To believe in God and Jesus Christ is the path of understanding. To believe that oneself is weak is the path of wisdom. For I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. -- Consider this: A woman was pronounced guilty of murder in a court of law through a trial by jury. The judge stated that she was found guilty of murder and would be sentenced to death by hanging. Now the judge was a Christian and asked the woman if she believed in Jesus Christ, God's Son. The woman said that she did believe in him. The judge asked her if she accepted him as her savior from death and that he had commanded us to not murder. The woman replied that Jesus Christ was her savior and knew that his command was to not murder. The judge said, "Because you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior and recognize his command to not murder, God forgives you. Because God forgives you through Jesus Christ in whom you claim to believe and accept as your savior, all charges against you are dropped. Therefore, go in peace, knowing that Jesus Christ has saved your life from death this day, and never sin again." This is true justice, because it works towards the glorification of God rather than the glorification of men's evil anger. This person who was condemned to death can look back on this moment and say, "Yes, Jesus Christ truly is my savior. He redeemed my life that day and let me live instead of face the punishment I deserved." Justice works for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation; revenge deceptively destroys both sides through violence. Work for true justice and there will be real peace on God's Footstool. But if you think this is foolish, what about John, chapter 8? Isn't this exactly what Jesus Christ did? -- Until you believe that God is #1, you cannot understand a word that I say. How will you receive the gift of Eternal Life that is placed before you then? "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you have sent." -- A stranger asked me, "Don't Christians hate gay people?" To this person, I say to consider the following. If someone says that you should or should not do something, do they say it because they hate you? If your mother or father says to you, "You should eat breakfast before you go to school; it is the most important meal of the day," do they say that because they hate you or because they are "intolerant" of you? If they say, "You should never do drugs because they will harm you," are they saying that because they hate you? Does a parent hate their children who they instruct? When God says, "You should never engage in sexual actions with another person of your gender," does God instruct his children in that way because he hates them? Of course not! God knows what is best for each person, and he teaches us because he loves us and because he is the only one who is Absolutely Good and he created each person and their soul and holds in his hand each person's life and their future. Do not rebel against God who alone is Good, or you will find yourself on the receiving end of strong discipline through the unpleasant consequences of your actions. Jesus Christ is gentle and humble in heart; if you truly wish to know who God is, you must listen to Jesus Christ's words which are recorded in the Holy Bible through the Holy Spirit. Christians hate what God hates: evil. But you should understand through what I said to you just now that a person's ability or lack of ability to discern appropriate sexual identity for their gender, or even to understand what gender they are, does not mean that they have brought evil out of their heart. Jesus Christ explains all these things in the Holy Bible; go read what he says if you want the best answer to your question. Just make sure you are listening to his words that you are reading when you read them, and the answer will be made clear to you in your heart. You should therefore realize the meaning of what Jesus Christ said: "Why do you ask me what is good? There is only one who is Good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments [do not kill, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not commit adultery, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself]" ... (https://biblehub.com/matthew/19-17.htm). ... Also, "if you want to be perfect, go sell [all] your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, then come follow me." -- I would rather be tormented in every way than get sent into Hell. I would even torture myself if it meant not being sent among evil. But hurting myself is not necessary, because Jesus Christ has already laid down his life for me. He is the only way to knowing God, and he is my Righteousness and my Salvation, because God is the God of those who are alive, not of those who are dead, and so I am kept alive because of Jesus Christ, the only Way to God, the Absolute Truth who comes from God, and the Life which means being with God who created Life. -- I was reading about Babylon in the Bible one day, And it reminded me of the direction of the USA. God destroys Babylon. You should think about that this Independence Day. -- Contrary to the claims of the worldly, faith is logical. For example, Jesus Christ is more important than I am. And the reason why is because God alone is Good. If you understand how that is the reason why, then you can perceive the logic of faith. If you cannot understand how that is the reason why, then you are unable to perceive the logic of faith. -- It is not ignorance that is intolerable, but arrogance that is intolerable. But God has given me axioms of faith that cure arrogance. For example: The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation, God alone is Good, God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. -- Jesus' entire life, even the flesh of his body and his blood, was given by himself for all mankind so that whoever would come to believe in him will not die, but have eternal life with him, because of him being their Righteousness and Salvation. That is why whoever accepts him will be accepted by God. -- Evil in a man's heart deceives him into retaliating. -- Without Jesus, you have nothing. -- Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Revenge means favoring one and harming another. Justice is the antithesis of Revenge. Improvement can only result from Justice. -- Most people who do not know and honor God and Jesus Christ only look to him when they want something for themselves. The rest of the time, they tell him, "butt out of my life". Which is really stupid, because God is the only one who is Good. And that is why they suffer and are punished. -- What is more important: what God thinks about, or what people think about? Matthew 16:23. -- The food here is that God alone is Good (the capitalization indicating "Absolutely"), and that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy (the capitalization indicating "Absolutely"). If a person -- and people are creatures (created) -- is a "good" person, who brings good things out of the good stored in their heart, that means they are "of God, who alone is Absolutely Good". Like Jesus said, "No good tree can bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." So there is much less choice in faith than is worth arguing: "Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." And so God "holds in his hand your life and all your ways," but "every knee will bow and every tongue confess" and every creature will be held accountable for what they do and what they choose to not do. But assessment and action does not define a person, but rather it is faith in God that defines a person, because "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation," and man was created in God's image, to desire God, to know and understand God, to learn from God, and to be "a god" (of God). This is what Satan was manipulating and the venue through which he was trying to destroy Adam and Eve -- all mankind, because he saw that God spent so much time and effort creating this masterpiece of the world and life in Existence, of the God of Life, and Satan, being God's enemy, wanted to thus destroy it without reason. But instead of killing Adam and Eve for their evil decisions, God took care of them and sent them away to live according to the results of what they did... but all according to God's plan, because life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. "What is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "Man lives not only on bread, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." Invest in understanding what Jesus Christ has said, as recorded in the Holy Bible. Then the Truth (capitalization to indicate "Absolute") will set you free from slavery to sin, from blindness in the dark, from despair. "Those living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the valley of the shadow of death, (sun)light has dawned." How significant it is when The Absolute Truth takes hold of a life -- especially when that life is yours! "Well do I know your suffering." Here is a descriptive citation of John 3:16-21. God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, so that whoever believes in him will not perish apart from him, but have eternal life with him. God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, because they have accepted him as their Righteousness and their Salvation, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only son. This is the verdict: light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done according to his being held accountable to God. -- The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/the_lord_is_my_righteousness_and_my_salvation.mp3 There is only One Beginning and End Creator of All First and Last God of Life Absolute Truth Source of Purity Definer of Good Greater than All Wonderful Counselor Almighty Father Merciful Judge Hope of Nations Trustworthy Shepherd Author of Freedom Love of my Life Righteous God Yahweh of Existence Spiritual Teacher Love Beyond Measure Always with Me Patient and Guiding Hallowed and Holy Fair and Gracious Peace Everlasting Heavenly Father Spirit of Truth Word of Life Gracious, Immaculate Powerful Savior Bright Morning Star Life, Sanctity, and Joy Creator of Destiny Hope Everlasting Good God Light of the World Listening and Holding Faithful Forever Desiring to Shield Lamb for All Unchanging In Whose Hand I Remain Savior from Death In Control Whose Power is made Perfect in Weakness Whose Mercy is Sufficient for Me Understanding Shield, Shepherd, Guide, Rock Safe haven for my heart, mind, soul and will [Jealous for his own] Lord God Almighty -- May Jesus Christ and God's name be praised forever! -- A violent protest does not protest violence. -- God created Freedom but controls Destiny. Man honors himself, but God's will be done. What is important? God's will: listen to his Son! I see: Jesus is God's living mercy. -- Infer to understand. -- You, your very self, are acceptable to God. So be a proper steward of your self, and obey God's Ten Commandments. -- To those who blew up the World Trade Center: God will forgive you. Do not think evil of your brother in your heart. -- When you accept Jesus, you know that you do not have to die in order to escape suffering. He already died and rose back to life. If you want to make God happy, than accept the death and resurrection of his Son so that your acceptance of it for yourself applies its meaning to your life, which is the reason why God had his Son do this. It is so that we do not need to suffer and die, but to be One with Life and The God of Life through faith in Life, Jesus Christ. The task for all people this year is to believe in Jesus Christ more. -- Why do we have weapons when God said, "Do not provoke me to anger with what your hands have made." ? -- Would the soil say to the farmer's seed, "I do not want you." ? Famine is coming. Be prepared. The soil will reject the farmer's seed, and many will not survive. -- The well-being of mind required to know God and Jesus Christ is provided by God through Jesus Christ. -- You can complain about anything and everything to God. You can also give thanks and praise to God for anything and everything. He will listen if you listen to and believe in Jesus Christ his Son. -- Jesus Christ does not accept anyone. Rather, Jesus Christ welcomes everyone so that they would accept him. Jesus Christ gave himself to everyone so that they would believe in him and God and thereby have eternal life. Take a moment to consider and understand. Why do you eat? Why do you work for a job? Why do you earn money "for a living"? It is in the pursuit of life and happiness. Jesus Christ is Life and God is The God of Life. Jesus Christ is The Source of Purity and The One who Grants Peace, Joy, and Well-Being. Would you directly reject him and seek him in places where he is not found? All who claim to know Jesus Christ and God and yet do not believe in him and obey him have done so, and they lead others astray, away from Jesus Christ and God. If you listen to Jesus Christ by learning his words and deeds and obeying his orders, you will know God who sent him and know that his messengers serve him. Jesus Christ is The Master, The Way to God, The Absolute Truth from God's Mouth and The Life. Are you pointing to him, or are you pointing to yourself? Are you pointing towards him, or are you pointing away from him? Have you laid your soul before him and listened to his consultation about how to serve him? After all, Jesus Christ who is God's Hand and Mouth of Life and Creation made us for this very reason, so that we would live through knowing and serving God who alone is Absolutely Good. "Do not work for food that spoils, but work for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him, the Father has placed his Seal Of Approval." Your heavenly Father knows exactly what you need, including food and clothing. "But seek first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and all these other things that you need will be given to you also." -- It is good to think about God, and it is evil to think about our selves. Jesus Christ spoke of good and evil, but where did he come from, and who sent him? He spoke of the one who sent him. Thinking about God means pondering the glory of Our Father. Thinking about our selves means pondering the glory of men, which is really not glory at all, and leads to sin and death (pride, arrogance, envy, etc. probably everything that Jesus Christ outlined). You want to talk about people? This is what people do: they interpret simple things as Art. They play in the sandbox. What is a computer, but directing electricity to flip switches. A computer is a convoluted and artful light switch. People take sticks and hammers and string and metal and wood and skin and assemble these things into "orchestral instruments" while at the same time building death machines with them. People analyze and think and live and communicate. People form clans and associations and companies and think in emic and etic terms. In some ways, people can recognize the difference between good and evil, but yet do not know what is good for themselves; or if a person knows God, are they faithful to Him as He is faithful to them? People walk on God's footstool, but do they know the Hand who created them and all these things and the Mouth who enabled them into Existence and the Life who grows, sustains, and tends to all living beings and secures His Own in His Hand? -- Listen! Are you having problems with people listening to you? "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." Are you having problems with your health or with society? "A man of suffering, he laid down his life for the transgressors. Therefore, he shall have a share in the spoils with the great. [...] He took on our infirmities and carried the burden of our diseases." Do you fear for your life at the wrath of an oppressor? "Remember what I told you, that no servant is greater than his master and no messenger is greater than the one who sent him. If they will listen to me, they will listen to you. If they do not listen to me, they will not listen to you. Remember that they treated me this way first. Some of you they will persecute, others they will hunt down and kill. But by standing firm, you will gain life." Jesus lived through it all, and he died through it all. He laid down his life. After he died, he gave himself life again. This command he received from the Father. Do not expect that anyone will understand matters of great importance, whether you speak plainly or in parables. Can you imagine the interaction between Jesus and Death? That is literally the event when Life faced Death. I can just see Death hurling insults at him, and Jesus in his magnificent pure glory taking it as he stands there as an Almighty barrier between my soul and Death, as a good shepherd lays down his own life for his own sheep. A three-day and three-night event of Death being laid speechless and reduced to nothing in the face of The Savior of the World. Jesus Christ is my hero. -- There will be one flock and one shepherd. -- The pains of the body and the education of the soul. But is it worth avoiding the pains of the body? Jesus went around healing people both physically and spiritually, and still he said, "The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." So don't go chasing the Holy Grail which is a cup. After all, you don't lack silverware. "You will look for me, and you will not find me. Where I am going, you cannot come. But if you believe in me and remain in me and my words remain in you and you do what I command, I will come back and take you to be with me where I am in My Father's house." (concatenated, rephrased). "Man does not exclusively live on bread, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." -- Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation. -- On Christ, the solid rock, I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. -- If you have an appliance that breaks down or gets damaged, you return it to the manufacturer to be fixed, so it is like new. If you have a life that breaks down or gets damaged, return it to its manufacturer to be fixed so it is like new. -- I had a dream that I was at my school's cafeteria after it had closed between meals. I turned the soda machines back on and began tasting various flavors of soda. Later, when it opened again, and people were in line for food, I told one of them what I was doing, and they began to lecture me that what I was doing was objectionable. Yet they never came to a logical argument about why. My intention was to taste the various flavors to see which one I liked the most and to pay back the cafeteria for what I had drunk after they opened again. I realize that this is our behavior towards many things in this "consumerist society", including using pirated software, watching television, shopping for clothes, and eating food. When we have options, we make excuses to try them all and see what appeals to us the most. Yet in your heart, you know this is not the wisest course of action. -- What's scary is that I know people about whom this is written: Luke 19:27. -- Do you behold God's Majesty? Have you seen The Ancient of Days seated upon his throne? -- Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. I have accepted him as my righteousness and salvation. I must believe in him more. -- What are you looking for in life? The whole merit and purpose of living is in obeying God's Will. If God enables you to do so, you will pick up the Holy Bible, read what Jesus Christ says, understand it, and come to believe in him. This is how you gain eternal life, which is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ, his Son. He gives eternal, real Peace, Joy, Sanctity, and Security. Listen to Him! -- The Bible doesn't mean anything until you believe. Then, what God says and does is marvelous. This is written in Hebrews 4:2: "For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not combine it with faith." -- you say, "Wait, 'good news'? What is this and why should I bother even thinking about it?" Thus, an exemplified point. Wrap yourself in the warm cloak of belief and trust in Jesus Christ, and his Peace will then always be with you. This is what it means to have faith. -- Having issues? You may need expert help. If you find yourself in an adverse situation, I recommend visiting Dr. Jesus for all your personal needs or issues. He gives free health care and will give you the straight truth about the situation and tell you all you need to know right upfront, no detailed interrogation or investigation required... but if he does ask you questions, you should answer honestly, of course. -- 2 Timothy 4:1-4 https://biblehub.com/2_timothy/4.htm How many teachers have you had? How many subjects of study have you pursued? What good [note: "good" means "of God who alone is Good."] have they done for your soul? I studied music, specifically, the Trumpet and Music Theory Pedagogy. As for eternal life, those things are meaningless and unhelpful. As for what happens and will be considered when heaven and earth pass away, aren't all the pursuits of men naught? "Has not the Lord determined that the people labor in vain, that the work of their hands is fuel for the fire? For the Earth will be FILLED with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." The entire sum of value of my life is held in this: the Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Why do people's eyes roll over when someone says, "Glory to God in the highest," when that phrase points to the cornerstone of Existence itself? Are we all so blind and stupid? Just think of Jesus Christ, and you will be on the right path for justice for yourself and others around you. Is it so hard to overcome the ego of self-righteousness when the cure to all arrogance is, "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation."? Honestly, how hard is it to understand that God Saves for the sake of his own Righteousness, and not for the sake of our lives? His salvation is not dependent upon whether or not we are "smart" or "intelligent" or "adept" or whatever self-glorifying term you want to use, because: life is not about what man can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. -- Tired? Stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Think of Jesus To find rest. -- "It is not good for you to act with hostility. It is good for you to love all people as yourself. This is the second greatest Commandment, and to do what is right according to God is what it means to know God and Jesus Christ, his living word, and the understanding of this all reveals that God alone is purely good and that God and his living word alone is good for you. He said, 'Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright? Man lives not on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me. Return to me, and I will return to you.' And Immanuel is God's presence, always here, right now, in the metaphorical boat that is life on Earth. It pays an abounding reward to trust him rather than man. For God alone is Good, and God and Jesus Christ alone is absolutely trustworthy. God is in control, and what he enables to exist, nobody can revoke or reasonably criticize. 'I do nothing without reason. I have loved you. Know that I am God, but as for you, who I have surely created, know that as surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue confess to my Son, your Sovereign Lord, even every careless word that it has spoken. Remember my Commandments and keep them, and all will go well with you.' When discipline serves justice, and true justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation, it also serves the Truth, Jesus Christ, which means it also serves the only true God. 'God disciplines those he loves, as a father corrects the child in whom he delights. They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to God and learns from him, comes to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never turn away. For I have not come to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me, and this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all he has given me, but raise them up to eternal life. And this is what eternal life is: to know the one and only true God and Jesus Christ his one and only Son who is the only Way to everlasting life and to the Father. Those living in darkness have seen a great light, and while I am in the world, I am the light of the world. I am the source and sustainer of all life, just as the Sun, the Bright Morning Star which I enabled to exist and which my Hand has made, serves me. And I have commanded you to live, so live! You have seen me through Jesus Christ, the one I sent, my Son who gave you my words and reminds you of them through my Holy Spirit. Every soul belongs to me, for my Hand has created Heaven and Earth and every living thing and everything else that I have enabled to exist. Come to me in prayer, and do not depend upon yourself or your imagination or another person, because I am with you now and I am with you always, and nobody can remove you from my Hand. Listen to my Son and gain eternal life.'" -- It is always a nice time to think about Jesus. -- The Holy Bible brings happiness and prosperity to those who read it. -- My son, seek the Lord While he may be found. The time you afford Makes your reward abound. Seek him alone, the Invisible God who Is Spirit, the Lord, he Who makes your soul sound. Afford him the time, His Commands you should learn: Love God most sublime And all people in turn. Our journey in life is To trust in God's Hand, In Jesus we live And to him we return. His brilliance, his wonders, His majesty, know The Absolute Truth, The Truth does he sow. His Kindness, His Justice, His Righteousness saves, He nullifies death, for None other is Good. [God's Hand alone Can save from death, So seek his Son And Live!] He made us, he loves us, He teaches us right, To love all as he did, His blood won the fight. There is no more battle, Just listen to him, His Commandments are solid, Trust just in his might. His Spirit is with us Through Jesus his Word, On his words do ponder And not the absurd. -- The Church is not the Catholic Church, but is that which is built upon the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. It is about developing your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God through knowing and understanding and having faith in God through Jesus Christ his only Son who he loves and commanded to do everything he does. Jesus was sent into the world and does everything the Father does and shows this to us, including living his entire life on earth in suffering, teaching us to obey and know himself and God and saving us through forgiveness and miracles, choosing to die on the cross by his own volition, and raising himself in the flesh back up from the grave. All this so that those who would believe in him will have eternal life beyond the grave by being raised to life by himself, the Resurrection and the Life and the only Way to God and the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, on the Last Day. Faith is of trusting in God: I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 9:23-24 "Let not the wise boast of his own wisdom, nor the strong boast of his own strength, nor the rich boast of his own riches, but let him who boasts, boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight." Habakkuk 2:13-14 "The Lord Almighty has determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing. For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Lift high the cross, the love of Christ, proclaim, until all the world adores his sacred name. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. -- Well-being is not found naturally, including through natural foods or remedies, but rather is given by God. Peace is not found through consensus, but rather is only on an individual level through one's relationship with God. Well-being and peace cannot be given or obtained through other people, and it is not something that you can meditate-your-way into achieving, but both these desirable things are given to you by God through your relationship with God. If you truly want well-being and peace for yourself, know that the only means to getting these things is through your relationship with God. A man of consensus is blind, but a true man of God works for justice and bears true peace, hope, and joy in his wake. -- Jesus Christ is still in the flesh. -- How to overcome addiction (for those who say to themselves, "I can stop at any time."): Telling yourself that you can stop at any time is just another bit of evidence proving true the motto, "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." The faith in one's own abilities is one of the greatest follies of humanity. Such a faith in one's own abilities is what gives addiction its influence. It keeps you from realizing that you and your inclinations and desires are not trustworthy in the first place. In essence, it is nothing more than an excuse and self-fulfilling blindness through arrogance. Turning away from what you think you want is always difficult. The trick is knowing that it is not what you really want. Then when you are able to think critically, focus on thinking clearly. Then think about what better things you could be doing -- for yourself and other people, to improve everyone's situation on Earth. Then, when you have set your motivations benevolently, pursue wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge that is important to the well-being of life. For example, looking both ways before you cross the road is wise. The best place to find wisdom that is most worthwhile is from the one who made the brain. That is how you overcome addiction. The feeling of thinking clearly is a feeling of liberation, freedom. -- "Do not promise or swear. Only let your 'yes' be yes, and your 'no', no. Anything else comes from the evil one." So, in rhyme: "Yes or no, and let it be so." -- Seek the Lord with all your heart, and you will find him. He knows your heart, and will make himself known to you if you seek him with all your heart. Then you will have a joy that is greater than all your suffering. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." -- What does it mean to live a life free from harm? The question is worthwhile, since that is what everyone wants. "They will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm, you will gain life." In this, we can learn from Jesus that safety is obtained through standing firm in your trust in God and Jesus Christ, despite that you still feel pain and can die. The goal of life is not to avoid death; the goal of life is to develop your relationship with God through Jesus Christ who is God's Son, God's Hand, and God's Mouth. That is why everyone would do well to read what God said through him in the Holy Bible where his words are recorded, and to obey him according to how Jesus Christ taught and demonstrated: to hold to the truth, to love God above all with all you are, and to love and give care to all people. When you are suffering, be honest in your heart before God and pray in secret to Our Heavenly Father who is unseen. "Well do I know your suffering." Even with the most treacherous hearts, God is merciful and delights in exercising kindness, justice and righteousness towards you -- and he does this through Jesus Christ who is our Righteousness and Salvation and the living word of God. Call Jesus Christ your Righteousness and Salvation, and let this assertion fuel your faith in the good shepherd who stands between you and harm. Nobody can remove you from God and Jesus Christ's hand. Life is not about avoiding harm, but about developing your relationship with God via God's Living Word, Jesus Christ, your Righteousness and Salvation. Don't focus on the pain or the harm, since that will only prompt you to be afraid, but rather focus on the Lord God Almighty who holds you and all your ways in his Hand (Jesus Christ). -- You are concerned about your hand, but God has you in his Hand. Jesus Christ is God's Living Hand, Mouth, and Son. Listen to him and you will know to accept and keep his words all throughout your life and forevermore! -- The Bible. Read it. It's not going to kill you. There is even a 99.99999999999% chance you will learn something helpful to you. (That probability increases exponentially and wildly with an increase in reading it.) -- You are loved by one who no one can stop or influence otherwise. -- If you have a question for another person, consider first asking God instead. -- Is self-indulgence a form of greed? "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Greed deals with the abundance of one's possessions, but self-indulgence is an action. You can be self-indulgent and still be generous, and generosity is the opposite of greed. The focus would still be on the possessions, though, and Jesus made the point that life is not about the abundance of one's possessions. Is knowledge a possession? Rationale is unique to each person, based upon their capacity for understanding (what God enables them to understand) and their experiences; in that way, understanding seems to be a possession of the individual that is inspired by knowledge. But the knowledge itself is not owned by the person; the only thing a person owns themselves related to understanding is the way in which their understanding relates to their own life -- maybe this is their "perspective". -- I obtained healing and inspiration from Ezekiel 34, where Jesus Christ speaks to the shepherds, criticizing them of their abusive behavior towards his own. By setting commands of the opposite, replacing... "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally." ...with... "Take care of the flock, and not just yourself; care for others as you care for yourself. Strengthen the weak, heal the sick, tend to the injured, bring back the strays and search for the lost. Be gentle and considerate." ..., I gain healing and inspiration. -- To Proclaim God's Glory by Demonstration, May You Have: More mercy than knowledge, More wisdom in patience, More trust in God's plans, More confidence in God's covenants, More prayer than temptation, More bravery than fear, More righteousness in obedience, More focus on God's love, More truth in justice, More altruism in compassion, More memory of God's Word, and salvation through Immanuel, May you have more faith in God's Power, More self-sacrificing Authority, and understanding in hope placed in Jesus Christ, Amen. May we all be one in Jesus Christ. -- God loves me. I love God. God loves you. Deuteronomy 8:6, 6:8, 6:5. -- Like a parent playing peek-a-boo with the child they adore, God covers the eyes of his child so he cannot see him. But God does this to teach him that his Hand has not left him, For he sets man's life as a journey of learning what it means to trust in God, And not in one's own imagination; yes, each lesson learned points to God's faithfulness To all who would listen to Jesus Christ his only Son who is seated at God's right hand in heaven. May God's Name, Jesus Christ, be praised forever -- honor the Son the same as the Father. To those who do not know Jesus Christ, I ask, have you listened to his words as recorded in the Holy Bible? If so, you know he is the Son of God. Remember what he said: "Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." God would not have sent his Son were his Son unreliable or untrustworthy. There is only One and he is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Obey the Ten Commandments and listen to Jesus Christ whose words are recorded in the Holy Bible. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Kindness, Justice, Righteousness God alone is Good. Keep Watch. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. Immanuel -- "God with us" The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. Love all people as yourself; be a neighbor to them. Life is not about what man can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Nobody can remove me from my Heavenly Father's Hand. Be still and know that I am God. My name will be glorified within all nations, my righteousness and salvation will never end. The Lord has determined that the people labor in vain, exhausting themselves for nothing, that the work of their hands is fuel for the fire, for the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; to all who knock, the door is opened. Everything God says is important, for "man does not live on bread alone, but also on every word that comes from the mouth of God." God is the God of Life, God is the God of the living, present here and now with us forever. Know and remember and obey God's Ten Commandments, and you will live forever; knowing God and Jesus Christ is having eternal life. Jesus Christ is God's living Mouth, Hand and Son; the Word of God, God's Presence, and the Righteousness and Salvation of all who believe in him and know that he is One with God. Obey the Ten Commandments and listen to Jesus Christ. -- Then and Only Then Whether in comfort or pain, wealth or poverty, health or sickness, pleasure or sorrow, fame or obscurity, endearment or estrangement, length or breadth, stability or uncertainty, sanity or variety, youth or age, we will all return to God. Only then will we see clearly and know that He should have been our heart's only desire and the center of our soul. -- The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation: It is in the private and secret prayers with God that truth of the spirit can freely confess and the eyes of a person focus upon the living God. Yet even by fervent cries in faith, God grants then good fruit that I ask, for I am weak but God is Almighty, his Mercy Almighty forever endures, his Spirit of Truth is with me through Jesus my Righteousness and my Salvation. -- "It has been my object and unquenched desire, to kindle young minds, and to guard them against the temptations of scorners, by showing that the scheme of Christianity, though not discoverable by human reason, is yet in accordance with it; that link follows link by necessary consequence; that religion passes out of the ken of reason only where the eye of reason has reached its own horizon; and that faith is then but its continuation; even as the day softens away into the sweet twilight, and twilight, hushed and breathless, steals into the darkness." -- Coleridge -- God is the creator of the universe, and is the Alpha and the Omega, the A and the Z, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. God is our Father in heaven. Jesus is God's Son and is the Christ and Messiah, which mean the Anointed One, the one who God set apart as his very own to send into the world and save all his children from death and sin. Jesus was conceived by God, born in the town of Bethlehem into the lineage of Abraham and David of a virgin woman called Mary and her husband Joseph, taught in the Jewish temples, was baptized with water and the Holy Spirit of God, is our Lord, Shepherd and Teacher, was given from the Father power and authority over all things, overcame the world, sin and death by the power and love of God, saved all those who were called by God to come believe in him, gave mankind a spiritual sword of faith to trust in God, taught us to worship in spirit and in truth and to love God and all people and to live in wisdom and light, taught us how to live honestly and obey God who is the only true master - the only God who answers, saves, teaches, loves, guides, calls, carries, blesses, lives, resides with each of us, disciplines, holds, knows, created, shields and defends, has mercy upon, and never forsakes us - and Father, carried our burdens and guided us with a gentle hand and heart, died on a cross in accordance with God's plan to save us from all sin and death, rose himself from the dead - as he rose others from the dead before to save people by faith - after three days, appeared to his disciples and gave them his Holy Spirit so they could continue to do the work of God in the world and spread God's Word throughout the world, and is now seated at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty and will come into the world yet again when instructed to do so by the Father in order to gather all people to himself and judge them according to what they have done so that those who have lived with love for all others will live with God in heaven and be entrusted with more important things while those who did not love all others in accordance with God's rules will be punished according to what they had not done. Let us therefore worship and praise God in spirit and in truth, never looking back to our former lives, but entirely trusting that God alone is Good and has wonderful plans for us. Glorify God and may his name be praised forever! Obey God! Love God! Follow God! Trust in God and in Jesus, Who Is The Alpha and The Omega, The First and The Last, The Beginning and The End! Pray and Rejoice, People! In God We Trust. Read Isaiah, chapter 42. -- I love God. God means everything to me. I cannot be removed from my Heavenly Father's Hand, who is Jesus Christ his Son. I am free because God Saves, in whom I trust. -- leaves peanuts mountains asteroids cucumbers tree bark hair alligators rabbits wheat kindness mud sand bread pencils imagination dental floss rainbows eyes habits glass porcupines houses beaches flashlights water experiences computer programs books paint fish oranges nightmares bubbles galaxies plums proximity life feelings What do these things have in common? God made it all. "Heaven is my throne, and The Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling will you build me, or where will my resting place be? Has not my Hand made all these things?" -- Out of anger, out of vengeance, the hearts of men are reduced to dust, for the Wrath of God is withheld and nothing can hide from his gaze, God alone is Absolutely Good, and not a soul can stand before him. God is greater than all. God holds Existence within himself, and his standard is Righteousness, His Son, therefore, accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and your Salvation, lest you face Retribution, for only by this faith will a soul survive the coming Wrath of God, when all evil is crushed to dust beneath his feet, and God makes everything new. Some people think weapons will bring them peace. Peace is good and weapons are evil. Good sows good and evil sows evil. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart; Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. By their fruit, you will recognize them. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." The Garden of Life, the Garden of Eden, was symbolic in this way for Existence. You cannot bring about peace by using weapons. You cannot sow good by sowing evil. "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off, because it will be better for you to enter life with one hand than to have your whole body thrown into Hell where 'their worm does not cease and the fire does not go out'." "Everyone will be salted with [given perseverance by] fire [purity to God, as Jesus Christ's eyes are fire -- he is focused on purity to God, Righteousness, because he is Righteousness and gives us himself so that whoever accepts him has him as their Righteousness and Salvation and by that faith in him therefore is no longer condemned; therefore, keep his words in you and he will remain in you]." -- For those who are at war: "Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For they are grass and chaff that will be swept away by the wind. I gave you Ten Commandments; obey them, for the person who obeys them will live by them, because my Living Word is your Righteousness and Salvation, not the works of your own hands by which you and those around you suffer." "You must be on your guard against men. [...] When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. [...] Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit." Real Peace, which Jesus Christ gives a person, is the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life. "If you promote suffering, I will cause you to suffer. If you promote Jesus Christ, I will give you Jesus Christ. I will give you what you promote, whether good or evil, and you will kneel before Jesus Christ and confess even every careless word you have spoken when I judge each of you according to your ways. If you mock me, I will make you an object of mockery. If you remember me, I will remember you. If you say to each other that you know me, and if you make an acknowledgment of me among others, I will acknowledge you before my Father in Heaven. But whoever disowns me among men will be disowned by me before my Father in Heaven when I come with my holy angels on The Day of Judgment. If you confess that you know me, I will confess that I know you. If you deny that you know me, I will deny that I know you. You will be judged by your own words." (paraphrased from Matthew 10:32-33). -- I have Jesus, and Jesus has me. That is all. -- "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the Name of the Lord and rely upon his God." [Jesus Christ and Immanuel are the names of the Lord. They mean God Saves, The Anointed One, and God With Us. Trusting in the Name of the Lord means trusting in God's Living Salvation, trusting in God's Living Mercy who laid down his life and took it up again so that whoever believes in him will have eternal life, and trusting in God's Presence who said "And I assure you that I am with you always, even until the very end of the age of mankind."] -- Zechariah 7:8-14 And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.' "But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears. They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the Lord Almighty was very angry. "'When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,' says the Lord Almighty. 'I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.'" ...read more... -- Habakkuk 2:12-14 "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." -- Micah 2:6-11 "Do not prophesy," their prophets say. "Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us." Should it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the Lord angry? Does he do such things?" "Do not my words do good to him whose ways are upright? Lately, my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip off the rich robe from those who pass by without a care, like men returning from battle. You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever. Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined beyond all remedy. If a liar and a deceiver comes and says, 'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,' he would be just the prophet for this people!" -- Micah 7:18 "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever, but delight to show mercy." -- God alone is Good; God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- John 7:33-34 Jesus said, "I am only with you a little while longer, and then I am returning to the one who sent me. You will look for me, but you will not find me; and you cannot follow me to where I am going." (To his disciples, he said, "You will look for me, and you cannot follow me to where I am going now, but later, I will bring you to be with me where I am. A new command I give you: Love one another as I have loved you. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." [Paraphrased; note that he did not say "You will not find me," to his disciples.]) -- Luke 17:23 "People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning that flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first, the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation." (Even though people still look for Jesus Christ, he is no longer found in the world, but will return for all to plainly see on the Last Day, when he will redeem those who belong to him, just as he described.) ...read more... -- You, your very self, are acceptable to God. So be a proper steward of your self and obey God's Ten Commandments. "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. -- Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will -- 1) You shall have no other gods besides me. 2) Do not make idols and do not bow down or worship idols, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who punishes the sins of a few generations who hate me and who shows love to a thousand generations of those who love me and obey my commands. 3) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Sovereign Lord will not find guiltless those who misuse his holy name. 4) Observe the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy as the Lord God Almighty has commanded you; it is a day that God made for the living to rest and do good. Remember what God has done for you, and observe the Sabbath Day. -- Love your neighbor as yourself -- 5) Honor your father and mother as the Lord your God has commanded you; help them and do things for them, so that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God will give you and so you may grow and learn. 6) You shall not murder; do not be angry with your brother in your heart, mind, soul or will. Do not think evil of your neighbor. The Sovereign God judges human life to be most valuable; do not kill anyone. God knows your heart, and God forgives, pardons, and saves. 7) You shall not commit adultery; do not have lust in your heart, mind, soul or will, for God favors those who are as little children before him and blinds or curses those who stubbornly disobey him. 8) You shall not steal. Share, sell, and give to those who are in need. 9) You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. Be a person of Truth. [And do not bias investigations with assumptions, because their legitimacy is unverifiable and dishonest.] 10) Do not desire anything belonging to your neighbor, neither his wife, his family, his animals, his house, his land, nor his possessions. However, do not withhold anything from those who ask you, do not demand back from those who steal or take from you, and do not demand a pledge by, or hold tribute from, those who borrow from you; give to those who ask, and do not expect anything in return from that which you give. Then your reward will be great before the Most High God, for he is gracious and merciful even to the ungrateful. These were summarized into six commandments to make them easier: Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself. And then they were also summarized into one commandment: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Simplified and simplified again by God so that you do not need to bang your head on the wall, but are relieved instead, because God has shown that he can make his own commands simpler and easier. Yes, even the easy burdens he can make lighter, carrying them and you if you need, and showing you in this way that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and giving you the statement to say, "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." -- Weakness is rejected by man but welcomed by God. Surely you will say to me, "Aren't you just making excuses for being weak? Isn't it better to be strong than to be weak?" But I tell you the truth: There is no strength besides God, for everything else is relative weakness. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. Peace and understanding are gained through trusting in God and Jesus Christ who is God's Living Hand and Son, and not trusting in oneself or in others. Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God, and that includes handing oneself over to God in one's own weakness, and obeying his command, "Live!", and this is what it means to "give to God what is God's", because your body and soul belong to God, since He made each person. "Do not we all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant by breaking faith with one another?" So I tell you, women, stop trying to sell your bodies. They are not yours to sell, and it is not right for you to try to sell them. And I tell you, men and women, let God handle your problems for you, and go before him in prayer, for He is always listening and He understands even when you are too weak to communicate. And most assuredly I console you, He will always be there and faithful to help you, and entirely at his own expense, because that is what Jesus the Good Shepherd does: he lays down his life for his sheep. We, his sheep, are weak, but God is Almighty and loves each one of us. Trust in God and Jesus Christ alone, and not in the words spoken by others, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. And you know God through Jesus Christ the Truth, the Source of Purity, God's Living Mouth and Hand who speaks and does only what God says and does. -- December 11, 2014 by Robert Walliczek A Poem for God No words to describe the love of my life. He is grander than the Earth, More wondrous than all the contents of the Universe, More beautiful than a shining rainbow, More intimate than a best friend or lover. He is stronger than the planets, Brighter than all the stars combined. Wiser than all the oldest minds, Steadier than the laws of nature. More good than all morality, Kinder than the holiest saint. More patient than the test of time, More just than all the schools of men. His compassion is beyond defining, All people yearn to see his Hand. Those who hear rejoice to know him, His very word defines Existence. He separates the living from the dead, All things are possible with him. All creatures tremble at his voice, He cures and cleans and protects the needy. The suffering of men he causes to cease, He is even merciful to the wicked. A day of judgment he has in mind, When his enemies will be punished forever. -- "My Kingdom is not of this world." "Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other." (see Mark 9:50 and Matthew 5:13.) "Love your enemies, do good to those who mistreat you, lend to them without expecting to get anything back, and pray for those who persecute you. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Heavenly Father is merciful." (paraphrased from Luke 6:35.) -- This is the account of the simmering hero who did. -- Who cares what a person might say? Let everyone who knows God praise His Name forever! (these lyrics are set to 'Save Yellow Now!', https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/gunstar_heroes_save_yellow.mp3) Sing to the Lord, let's all sing to the Lord, worship God! Sing to the Lord, let's all sing to the Lord, worship Jesus the Christ, Praise his name! Jesus, Immanuel. Jesus, the Lamb of God, Savior King Reigns! Praise to the Lord, Worship God and His Only Son. He gave his life, he loves everyone, and he saved the world, he led Justice to Victory, and His Name has overcome all death and evil sin. Praise to the Lord, Jesus Christ! Hallel Yahweh, forever! Praise to the Lord, Jesus Christ. He is one with God, Jealous. Father, Son, and the Most Revered Spirit are One, Praise to the Lord Alone! -- To be jealous means to desire what belongs to you. Envy means desiring what does not belong to you. God is Jealous, "I am a jealous God. I am burning with jealousy over Jerusalem," (Zechariah 8:2), whereas envy is an evil (Mark 7:21-23). God's Jealousy is Jesus Christ: "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Exodus 34:14). So "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." All that is "good" belongs to God, because God alone is Good. "good" means "of God, who alone is Absolutely Good". And we, as Created (creatures), belong to God because he made us, so we should bring all we are to him in prayer, because God and Jesus Christ his Only Son in Heaven are the only One who is Absolutely Trustworthy, and God is the only one who is Absolutely Good and Faithful forever. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." Also, read Malachi, specifically, chapter 3, and this particular matter God addresses directly in Malachi 3:10. -- Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test. -- Do not be angry with people. People need the Lord. -- Jesus did what he did at Gethsemane to tell us that we cannot do it on our own. We cannot live without Jesus Christ. Do you ever pray and feel like God is not listening or keeps declining your request? The Lamb of God prayed the same thing three times to God at Gethsemane and had his requests denied; Jesus Christ took even this upon himself. And yet he said, "You will all abandon me, but I will not be alone because my Father is always with me." So God is saying to you in your time of need, "I love you. You need to be in this situation now, and I am here with you always because of what my Son has done for you." -- One reason why Jesus Christ was born as The Son of Man was for God to show us that we humans are better than sin, and that we should not be sinning, that we are valuable to God and he is willing to forgive us when we sin, and that he will save us from sin and death. And so Jesus Christ led Justice to Victory, and in his Name (God's Salvation and Presence) the nations put their hope. -- https://soundcloud.com/liquid-lightning/all-praise-to-jesus All Praise to Jesus, Messiah, King, Immanuel, The Son of God, The Only Name.

Have you ever faced rejection by others? This is your blessing then! Intercession has been made on your behalf. So it is with me! My God has seen the great many and severe rejections I have suffered throughout my time on Earth. Here is my intercessor! He was betrayed and killed, all these things he allowed to happen, just as God allows bad things to happen to us during our lives. "On Earth, you will have trouble. But take heart: I have overcome the world." "If they listened to me, they will listen to you; if they rejected me, they will reject you. They will treat you this way on account of my Name, because they do not know the one who sent me." And here I read on this YouTube comment from a Muslim who says the Bible is contradictory. How incorrect he is! The evidence is self-evident, one must only read it to see that. Don't read the evidence? Don't know what is going on. Not knowing what is going on is called blindness. And so ends this rant. "Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Some people just need to fall into the pits that God has set before them in order to realize that good things are not found therein. Then their hearts will complain, "But you never warned me!" And the answer given to them would be, "Oh yes I did! You just didn't listen." "This is the verdict: Light has entered the world, but men chose darkness instead because their actions were evil. Whoever hates the light will not step into it due to the fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the Truth steps into the light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." -- "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." Know your intercessor. -- I have two hands. One is for me and one is for you. Which one is more gentle? Which one is more generous? What do you think? When I wash the one, I wash the other also. If I do good things for myself, shouldn't I be compelled to do good things for others also? If I treat myself with respect, shouldn't I treat others with respect also? If I discipline myself, shouldn't I discipline others also? If I expect good things from my hand, shouldn't I expect good things from your hand also? "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice." Just take care with each other. Communities that help each other are more productive than when its neighbors do only things for themselves. -- We must give consideration its due course at the proper time. To address concerns presently is to accept wisdom. -- All I see around me is people looking for these things: considerate behavior and gentleness, help for overall improvement, and good things that are worthwhile. In other words, people are looking for kindness, justice, and righteousness. Now see how that fits in with Jeremiah 9:23-24! (https://biblehub.com/niv/jeremiah/9.htm ). God delights in the same things that people honestly desire, and he furthermore knows that we need these three things, and that is why he gave us the embodiment of all these things: his only son. So our heart's desires are satisfied in knowledge of him, and because of his goal that he achieved, also satisfied in the acceptance of him for who he is: God's Son, the Lamb who laid down his life and took it up again for everyone (past, present and future) on Earth so that whoever accepts his words and his life in their heart would thus cross over from death to life and be accepted by God because he is God's Only Son. This is the "Good News": what we truly desire and need is met and satisfied by The Son of Man who holds in his hands our lives and all our ways, and we should learn from his words and behavior and come to know him because he is exactly what we want and need in the most Absolute and Purest Truth: Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness, Life himself. This -- He -- is what people truly desire and need, and as it was written that God would have him do, He led Justice to victory, and gave us his Peace. There is no more battle, just listen to him; his commandments are solid, trust just in his Might. -- The opposite of folly is wisdom with discipline. Wisdom is knowledge of what is important to Life. Jesus Christ is God's answer to all problems. -- There was never a need for evil. God is Absolutely Good and God made Everything. Therefore, there is only an ever-increasing potential for good. There is no "yin/yang" or balance between Good and Evil. Jesus Christ led Justice to Victory, Life won against Death. There is no more battle, but only Jesus Christ drawing all people to himself. "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." Belief in him means crossing over from death to life. -- Unless you are stubbornly disobeying Jesus Christ by disobeying his Commandments (which are: love your neighbor as yourself, do not steal, do not kill, do not give false testimony, do not commit adultery and honor your father and mother), you are always at the right place at the right time. Because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Kindness resolves chaos. -- "Well do I know your suffering. I desire Mercy." -- He speaks, and The Earth melts and rejoices in His Spirit. -- "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." -- Be bold and ask; Jesus will do it for you! -- "I am who I am" reveals that God's Word is the Absolute Truth that Existence itself proves. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Even when he is insulted, Jesus heaps mercy upon mercy all filled with God's blessing. "As I have loved you, love each other. This is how all men will know that you are my disciples: if you love each other." And it is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ; just listen to what he says and see what he does! He is the Savior King, but more than a king -- he is the everlasting continuous savior of the world. He has helped me, he helps me now, and he will continue to help me, because Honor belongs to him and God alone is Good. "Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end." "My Father is always working, even now, and I am also working." "The Sabbath Day was made for man; man was not made for the Sabbath Day. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." I am weak, but God is Almighty. God loves me. "My mercy is enough for you, because my Power is pure in Weakness." God is the only Strength; everything else is relative weakness. "Unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of God." -- When I act with kindness, I am acting maturely and responsibly. Any other behavior is ultimately an insult to everyone and to God. -- Resentment grows like a weed where there is a void in empathy. Just spray some goodness and you will be happy again. -- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens -- "God alone is Good." With a few words, Jesus Christ reduces armies of evil to ashes. I love you, Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ is the Master Hero. He cures and cleans and protects the needy. In his Name the nations will put their hope. They will say, "The Lord is my Righteousness, my Salvation and the Son of God. Jesus Christ is the love of my life and his name will be praised forever. He is my Teacher and he builds his own Eternal Kingdom of God which is not of this world. I know his voice, and I believe him and trust him, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy and God is the only one who is Absolutely Good and Jesus Christ is the Absolute Truth as The Son of Man. People rejected the Lamb of God and killed him, but he is The Servant and The Master and The Author and The Legitimate Authority. He is the Beginning and the End; with the first and the last of his Creation, he is. Jesus Christ is God's Living Hand and Mouth who, The Lord God Almighty, holds Existence within himself and tolerates men with his presence embodied in Jesus Christ who has been made King and reigns in the flesh in Heaven at God's Right Hand." They will know these things, because "The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of The Lord, just like water covers the sea," like he said, "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself," and "They will all be taught by God. Whoever looks to the Son and believes in him has chosen to do God's will and will find out whether I speak on my own or whether the Father sent me. Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false. Whoever comes to me for Eternal Life and learns from me will have streams of living water flowing from within them and I, The Truth, will set them free from their slavery to sin, and I will raise them up on the Last Day." We did not choose him, he chose us to do work that yields Eternal Life -- to learn from Jesus Christ and believe in him and live through obeying his example and commands, such as "Love each other as I have loved you." -- When a person is in a crisis situation, they have a decision that God has placed before them, to test them. If they act with kindness, real justice (that is, unbiased integrity), and with an attempt to trust in God by doing what is good (e.g., saving life rather than destroying it), then they are a righteous person and will be considered as such in God's sight. But if they fail the test by doing what is wrong, then they are in need of forgiveness. Life makes you fear when you realize that you are not in control, but I'm telling you the truth: nobody is ever in control. There is only One who is In Control. It does not pay to ignore him in your heart. Be smart, people! Be kind, and stop trying to trust yourselves, because that's a downward spiral of depravity. Reality is OK because of God. "Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body, but after that can do nothing else. Instead, be afraid of the one who can throw both your body and your soul into Hell. Yes, I am telling you to fear him. Not even a small animal dies apart from your Heavenly Father's decision; each hair on your head is numbered, even though people do not value these." If it comes to civil war, or any conflict, if your house is built on rock, you will weather it just fine. But if your house is built on sand, it will collapse and be completely wrecked. It does not pay to walk on the street with your eyes closed. -- Proverbs 5:21 For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths. "I do nothing without Reason." -- "We speak of what we know, and we testify as to what we have seen, yet still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things; if you cannot understand in worldly terms, how can you hope to understand in Heavenly terms?" Most of the time, people don't understand something because they are not willing to think for themselves and judge for themselves what is right. They accuse those who have done this of being "brainwashed" and other slights against their intelligence. Yet in this, they again show themselves as 100% through-and-through hypocrites. Everything negative that a person might say about someone like me who does understand and has seen and knows God through Jesus Christ is actually describing themselves, because all they are willing to see is themselves; it's a form of narcissism. Until you realize what you're looking at and what you're doing, how can you make the decision to stop doing it? It's not like you are looking at The Sun where it hurts your eyes when you do that. You are ruled and fooled by pain until you choose to learn. It is not a matter of what a person can do, but a matter of their decisions at every moment of their lives that reveals who they really are. So even if you are infatuated with navel-gazing, you benefit from listening to what God has to say to you because he made you. Quite frankly, people who understand actually understand and act and communicate exactly according to what they "know and have seen". In sum, you cannot remain in agnostic ignorance without being immersed in hypocrisy, as is plainly apparent to everyone who accepts logic and reason. This is because all of logic, reason, wisdom, understanding, and well-being is pointing to one thing: "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" -- "Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." We do not need weapons. -- "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take up my work and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, for my work is easy and my burden is light." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." So learn all of what Jesus Christ has said as recorded in the Holy Bible and then you will recognize his voice as legitimate, gentle, humble, and welcoming and loving, and pray to God through his Name (Salvation) and you will know him and understand and he will heal your heart, mind, soul and will, and he will keep you safe and show you that life on Earth is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." When you know Jesus Christ, you comprehend that God and Jesus Christ is the only One who is Trustworthy. And you will understand that "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me," and you will accept Jesus Christ, The Lamb, as your Righteousness and Salvation, as a shield over your heart. And God's Hand, Jesus Christ, will protect you, because he loves you and more so does this for his Name's sake, Salvation, and because He is God and there is none other besides him. God is with you always (Immanuel means God's Presence): "And surely, I am with you always, even until the very end of the Age." Jesus Christ is God's Mouth: "Man lives not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the Mouth of God." Jesus Christ broke bread, gave thanks, and shared it with us as his body and blood. So when you eat and drink, consider some of it as his body and blood to remember him and his Mercy, and how he saves the guilty and anyone else who would listen to him and desire to believe in him and then accept him. He gives Peace, which is having his Covenant of Salvation: "Whoever believes in me has crossed over from death to life." It is guaranteed; God does not change. "I, the Lord, The Absolute Truth and Author of Existence, do not change. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have been rebellious against me and have not kept my decrees which would have helped you and given you life. Return to me, and I will return to you. Do not be afraid; present yourself as you are in prayer in your heart, and I will help you, and you will be sanctified by my Son, The Savior King, my Mouth and Hand, your Teacher and Master and Redeemer Lord. Remember my Commandments: do not steal, do not kill, do not give false testimony, do not commit adultery, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself. Come before me with all your heart -- test me in this! See if I will not pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it or know what to do with it all." Therefore, let no man be upset who knows that God understands. -- People learn by adding to what they already know. The work is not the end result, just a task. The end result is a friendlier community. The work is a task that we can all share. But it's the cooperation and consideration that contribute positively to the community, not the amount of completed work. How far would you get in anything without help from a community? You directly benefit from, and contribute to, the quality of the community. It's not a matter of your work, but of your character and constitution, that people will value in a community. Without the community, there is no motivation. Rejection is not friendly, but politeness is greatly encouraging! So people are not always social, and should not be defined as social beings. Each person decides for themselves how and when to participate in society: not at all times, and not never, but only at times they perceive as right, even if others do not agree that it is the right time and continue to reject them. Jesus Christ was born into the world at the right time: when God told him to do so. The world in its own perception might not have thought itself ready, but they were in fact ready according to God's Plans. Because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and we are to obey the Ten Commandments. And God alone is Good, and God said, "Do not my words do good to him whose ways are upright?" The Most Revered Holy Spirit feeds us Jesus Christ's words at the right times. (from around Matthew 24:40)."You must also be ready, because the Son of Man will return at an unknown time, an hour that you do not expect him. Who then is the faithful and wise servant who the master has put in charge of his servants in his household to give them their food at the proper times? It will be good for that servant if his master finds him doing so when he returns; I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day when the servant does not expect him and at an hour unknown to him, and the master will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." -- The presence of a person is more valuable than whatever works they might do. -- Only God has the right to honor himself, because only God is Absolutely Good. -- Fecit potentiam in brachio suo dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/fecit_potentiam.mp3 -- Do not point the finger. -- It is better to seek what is good than to seek what is pleasant. -- Cowards feel threatened. -- I would rather hear about a person's day, or his projects, or his ideas, or have him socialize decently with other people here, than have him talk poorly of another person or about vulgar subjects like sex and slights against females, but this is all he has been doing habitually, and I have had to delete a lot of his messages, which is both tiring and irritating, telling me to resent his presence. That's what is wrong, and I do not want to resent his presence, even though he is giving me a hard time through his words and poor manners. And I've had to delete messages from others that are tainted by vulgar words, because that is like paying someone a handsome compliment in greeting while shaking their hand and putting a small turd in their pocket. It is highly rude and insulting and only makes that person want to shove you away in disgust. Totally not good for community-building. This person and anyone else who bullies a fellow community member is showing me that they are a coward. Cowards do shameful acts and then run in fear of their deeds being exposed. But you won't listen to me anyway, because some of you lack the desire to know the truth. It is not me who is alienating you, it is you who alienates yourself from comprehension. If you think I am mean for not being a coward like you, then you do not perceive that a coward only wants to honor themselves by spreading their own behavior among others: fear and cowardice. Hence, bullying, to spread fear and cowardice in honor of a coward's own heart and behavior. But how much wisdom should I share with a person who does not want to understand? It is rude to give someone something they do not want. So if I say to a foolish person that fools do not want wisdom, that is rude to them because they do not want to comprehend -- they will not listen to me anyway. Or if I say to a coward, "Cowards feel threatened," they will simply retaliate because they are afraid of the truth and of justice for themselves; they do not want to change or get better, like a person who has cancer and refuses treatment because he has given up all hope without caring to see where hope is found or about there actually being hope for them. If a person does not want help, it is rude to help them, because that is giving them something that they do not want. So it is obvious that each person can be their own enemy by rejecting good. I would say that this is what is wrong, you who asked me why I frown. And that is why, because I only do good things, I am rejected: because certain people do not want good things for themselves. How can there be justice (justice means improvement for everyone involved in a situation) when one party does not want to improve? It looks like revenge to them then (revenge is an attempt to improve one party by harming another party, which is a practice destined to failure), but it is only they who harm themselves. So they only have themselves to blame for not accepting the truth or learning from it. So either they are offended by people trying to help them, or they point blame at others because they harm themselves. It is like a cesspool of depression and ignorance. This is what I am seeing from the words of many people in this overall community, and it is nothing unique; I am surrounded by cowards and self-mutilating masochists at all times. Their hearts are a plague and a curse on the Earth, because they spread hatred and violence through vile words like cursing and vile images like prostitution. They bait little children with sugar and then drug them with agnosticism (willful ignorance), hindering whatever potential those children had in their lives to make this world a better place. It is sowing chaos within a society that destroys that society: "if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand." Those who bring violence and destruction to a society from within it are exiled. They are treated the same as those who bring violence and destruction to a society from the outside: as enemies, because that is how they have acted. This is why Internet forum owners ban users: because those users sow strife which causes harm and division and thus ruin to that community. The only difference is what they choose to recognize as harmful, and whether they are righteous or wicked themselves; whether they will say that good is good and bad is bad. If they are hypocrites and refuse to maintain integrity within themselves, then they will refuse to maintain integrity within their auspices likewise. If a person tries to lead but sows chaos, they are not fit to lead, but have shown themselves as a bad tree bearing bad fruit laden with hypocrisy and vile behavior. Some people are simply destined for ruin through self-destruction. When someone else sees this, they try to stay far away from that contagion to avoid being harmed. -- [Preprocessor Directives] Having trouble fearing the Sovereign Lord? Heaven is his throne; let all who live on his footstool be silent before him, for God is God. Having trouble finding happiness? There is only happiness in Jesus Christ; think of him. Honor the Lord God Almighty in your heart and he will bless you and take care of you. Mad about the lack of respect towards God? "The Stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." "The Lord's right hand has done mighty things!" Jesus brought Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir. Seek good, not evil, that you will live; seek the Lord God who alone is good, and live! Follow him, and let the dead bury their own dead. Think of God and exult in his Son, Jesus; build your house on the foundation of his Word who will never pass away; praise and serve him only.

Your Kingdom come and the_will_of_God be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us this day our daily Bread. Please forgive us our sins, for we now forgive all who have sinned against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." Praise God! "No servant is greater than his Master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:33-37). Therefore, have in mind the interests of God rather than the interests of man, and only speak the words of God, accepting the Lord as your Righteousness and Salvation. "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. Do not suppose I have come to bring peace on the Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but division/a sword [a spiritual armament of faith and righteousness for each person's soul to develop their relationship with God and trust in God and Jesus Christ alone]." (Matthew 10:32-34). "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love all other people as yourself. Love one another as Jesus Christ (God) loves you -- with that same everlasting love: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love.' (Jeremiah 31:3)." "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "Man lives not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the Mouth of God." "Keep on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you..." "...I will give you words and wisdom..." "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord ["Jesus" which means "God Saves", "Immanuel" which means "God with us", "Messiah" which means "the Anointed One", God's Mercy and our Righteousness] and rely upon his God." The answer to all problems: "...but God is God." -- Jesus cares for you. Careful words are carefully considered. -- Gender equality is a sham. From the beginning, we were made as male and female, so we are equal as humans, but not equal in social roles or responsibilities. Suffrage (voting) and other human "rights" should be recognized for all humans, but males and females are not equal to each other. Also, the role of a servant makes more of an impact than the role of a leader: ("You know that the leaders of the Gentiles are regarded as rulers and that they exercise authority over each other, honoring themselves with the social title of Benefactor. Do not act this way, but instead with you all, the greatest among you will be like a little child, and whoever is chief should be like a waiter servant. Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But see for yourselves, now, that I am among you as one who serves, and I am your Master and Teacher as you have rightly called me. Now that you have seen these things, you should do for each other what I have done for you. For the Son of Man did not come to condemn or to rule the world, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.") (paraphrased from Luke 22:25 and elsewhere) -- that is why in the USA we elect public officials as public servants rather than "leaders". But they are paid salaries. The respect a servant would be shown is from doing a proper job, and if they do a bad job, they are removed from servitude. But aside from this, respect is given intentionally, not earned; it is the responsibility of each person to show every creature loving compassion (this is a learned behavior) and in this way exhibit an attempt to appreciate their existence (this is what respect is and how it is shown), and then that person learns the good example of loving compassion and chooses to act that way also because they see that it is good. -- Observe what Jesus Christ said to his disciples before he returned to The Father. "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me. So go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, and helping them to learn and obey everything I have commanded you. I am always with you, even until the very and of the age." (paraphrased from ca. Matthew 28:18). "Go into all the world and preach the gospel [for all generations] to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved [kept safe], but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." (Mark 16:15). "...and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his Name [for all generations] to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem..." (paraphrased from Luke 24:47). "Whoever loves me will obey what I command, and whoever loves me very much must feed my lambs and my sheep and take care of them. This is part of following me." (paraphrased from John 21:15-19). The instruction is for all nations and the task is for all generations. To whom do we speak and share the wisdom that we have been given? It is to those who have made themselves like little children: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them. Unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of God." So share what Jesus Christ has said with those who are humble [God will humble them when the time is right so that they will be willing to listen to God through Jesus Christ], not with the stubborn or vile who act like dogs or pigs. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/clock.mp3 It just occurred how the Lord is right in everything he does, For the Lord alone is perfectly Good and knows everything in size, He sent the Lord Jesus Christ, his Son, to clean and serve and save, He is Master, Redeemer, and Righteousness, King forever. -- Would it actually suffice to say that I understand? No, because that means nothing to anyone else apart from their own experiences. That's why there are parables, to expand the mind for those willing to listen, while those who don't want to listen remain without perception. That's the purpose of using a parable. -- June 11, 2016 Dr. David Jeremiah
P. O. Box 3838
San Diego, CA 92163 Dear Dr. Jeremiah: I have had great difficulty finding a church where I may worship God. Please consider this e-mail message that I sent to my local newspaper: ----- Keep Church Holy I have been to churches in the [county] area and in the [distant city] area throughout the past 30 years. God said, "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." (Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:46, Isaiah 56:7). When I have attended churches in the [county] area, where I was born, baptized, raised, and have lived most of my life, my experience has been that of a club house gathering. I must arrive dressed nicely and on time, then I am welcomed to participate in the social gathering event, then I must leave quickly so that maintenance can clean up the seats, vacuum the floors, turn off the lights, and lock the doors. In [distant city], churches are treated as community centers where a person can go to pray before the Lord, and the Sanctuary room meets the definition of the word "sanctuary". But here in [county], if I arrive after the service to pray before the Lord, I find the doors locked, and when I knock, those who linger after the service do not let me inside. Doors are locked six days of the week. When I need sanctuary in the Lord's House, church does not meet my need, and it does not meet God's definition for being called his house. ----- Whenever I try to speak with someone about God and Jesus Christ, they are not interested in what I have to say. If I, someone who has been taught by God, am unable to do this, how should it occur that a non-believer turns to the Lord? Jesus Christ cited, "They will all be taught by God," and yet this and other many things I have been taught by God are so vehemently rejected by those who are charged with the responsibility to love. How should a non-believer find good examples if not from Christians who claim to believe in The Source of Purity? Or if Christians are so in love with Jesus Christ, why are none willing to talk about him with me? Time and again, I have been rejected, so constantly throughout my life. I have taken to remaining silent, and when people ask me why, I tell them, "You won't listen to me anyway." Instead, I have placed some of what I have been taught in a text file at this web site address: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ . I know that God will not forget the abusive path he has led me down, because he is doing this so that I may drink from my Master's cup. My dearest Master and Redeemer does everything with reason. But I have even written to the Pope, and he has not listened. When I ask for help, I am mistreated and my concerns brushed aside by local police (who are paid to serve and protect), the town mayor, my state representative, organizations that claim to work for free speech, local church leaders (pastors, priests and ministers), strangers I speak with online, and anyone who has known me in my life including family and friends. Family and friends have essentially disowned me; I literally have no one with whom I can speak on this planet. This is why I am sending you this letter, in the off-chance that you might see what God is trying so very much to say to those who would be his people. The prophets were treated just like I am treated: ostracized, rejected, insulted, humiliated, and hated, simply for having something to say that God wants a person to know. Perhaps a total of five people in my lifetime have bothered with granting me a modicum of simple respect for my listening to Jesus Christ and being taught by God. I am left to wonder if you suffer this same nonsense; but those priests who preach their own suffering look at me like I am crazy when I say something right. My soul has starved to death for lack of finding righteousness. I am ready for the Lord to remove me from the face of his footstool. Every last one of these cursed people is a fool and hypocrite because they reject God; how can they claim to belong to him? But I will say this before my Master: "Crush me under your feet like you will crush those who persecuted me." Just as I know that I am not worth Jesus' time or consideration, so God will tell all those who did not listen to him that they are not worth his time or consideration. To one person who offered social advice after I told them I would remain silent, I responded with: ----- I cannot make anyone listen. I cannot make anyone understand. Even if someone were to listen, they probably would not understand. But I know God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. There is a third option: to remain miserable. You see, happiness is not valued by someone who is not self-serving or self-seeking. If I wanted happiness, I would be fickle and conceited, speaking for my own honor in the eyes of men. If I were to do this, I would anger the Master and deserve punishment. But even me saying these things cannot change your heart. I will remind you why people refuse to listen: Matthew 24:12. Thank you for responding. Amnesty International brushed me off, and the mayor did not respond. It seems the (maybe implied) assertion of my wanting to be heard was not because I wanted to make people do things, or to change their lives, and thereby earn a kind of honor or respect among them. But the lack of respect does not end at me when it is given to me. The reason people speak is to convey information and have their message understood. Understanding of the message is superior for a messenger than being honored for the message's contents. The lack of love is more than becoming normal; it is becoming accepted as good. I am certain you can see how the context is misconstrued; I am working against wickedness being misconstrued as goodness. My personal feelings are irrelevant in this pursuit. My decision to remain silent is not borne out of anger or self-pity, but out of a decision to give people exactly what they want: silence and my distance. It is not me they hate, it is what I say. ----- Sincerely, Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens -- His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI Vatican City
Rome, Italy
Wednesday, July 4, 2012 Your Holiness, Greetings in Christ Jesus and The Lord God Almighty! The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. In reading the "Affirmation of Faith" which is the Apostles' Creed as printed in the bulletin of a nearby Presbyterian house of prayer for all nations, I noticed that nothing is said of Jesus Christ's life, but the focus seems to be upon only the circumstances of his birth and temporary death in the world. The case is also with the Nicene Creed. It is through Jesus Christ that I have come to God and that the Lord is in me; and it is through my life by his mercy that he blesses (teaches) me. It is for this reason that I am writing to you, so that I may humbly offer a suggestion according to God's will that we further glorify the Lord and honor his life so we might then be blessed when we recite the Apostles' Creed. By the Spirit of God who teaches us all and is with us always by his Almighty Hand from whom nobody can remove us, I humbly proposed and now propose this revision to the Apostles' Creed. Please note that we are talking about God regardless of capitalization, the only God. "I believe in the Lord God Almighty, Creator of all, with Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord and by whom we are friends and children of God the Father Almighty. I know God's word who is Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and I know God through Jesus Christ his son who resides in me and is with me always until the very end of the age of mankind. My God is True and His Son obeys his every command for my salvation. I know Jesus Christ glorifies God and God glorifies Jesus the Anointed One in Him; the Lord came down from Heaven to do God's Will, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, obeyed the Father in everything and worked in his Father's name to glorify God in himself by giving sight to the blind, making the lame walk, curing the sick, making the deaf hear and the mute speak, raising the dead, driving out unclean spirits, freeing the oppressed, preaching the good news to the poor, and bringing True Justice and Righteousness to victory over Evil. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of Jesus the Anointed Son of God. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Jesus Christ is my only Teacher and God is my only Father. All authority over heaven and earth was given to him by God the Father Almighty who never changes, and by whose command he laid down his life only to take it up again. The King of the Jews was betrayed into the hands of sinful men, condemned by the Jews through Pontius Pilatus, suffered, was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead, continued to teach his disciples, gave all those who would believe in him the Counselor who is the Holy Spirit of Truth, who reminded his disciples of all things and who brings glory to Jesus Christ by taking from what is his and God's and making it known to us so we can proclaim it, sent his church, the Kingdom of Heaven, into all the world, as a farmer sows good seed in his field, to be a shining light to proclaim the good news to all creation and to teach obedience to God according to His Words and practices as he taught us, ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the Right Hand of God Almighty. Whoever hears Jesus Christ's word and believes God who sent Him has eternal life in Him and will not be condemned; that person has crossed over from death to life. God calls his own by name and they listen to his voice and come to him to learn from Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep only to take it up again so that we live because he lives, and who is the Gate of the Kingdom of Heaven through whom a person can enter to be saved and have life to the full. God is Spirit, and in order to enter the Kingdom of God, a person must be born again of water and the Spirit, and those who would worship God and serve him only must worship and serve Him in Spirit and in Truth. He will never turn away those God has enabled to come to him, and he gives them eternal life because it is God's Will that whoever looks to Jesus Christ and believes in him and loves him through obeying God's Commands will not perish but have and be raised to eternal life in God. The Lord's sheep listen to His voice; He knows us, and we follow Him. He gives us eternal life, and we shall never perish; no one can snatch us out of Jesus Christ's hand. His Father, who has given us to Him, is greater than all; no one can remove us out of Our Father's hand. Jesus Christ and the Father are one. There is only one God, the only God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. The Father loves the Son and shows him all He does and has testified Himself in favor of the Son, and I know The Lord's testimony about My Lord is valid. The very work that the Father has given My Lord to finish, which he completed and is still doing to this day, testifies that the Father sent Him. I see and know God the Father through My Lord His Son, and his Word dwells in me, for I believe the one He sent who is The Bright Morning Star who gives life to the world, to those he chooses out of the world as He pleases. I love God and I work to obey Him because He is God, the Absolute Truth whose Almighty Mercy and Faithfulness endures forever; because He does not change, we are not destroyed in sin but are permanently freed through forgiveness by Jesus Christ our Righteousness and Salvation who also cleans us by His Word so that we can continue to bear good fruit through Him, for apart from Him I can do nothing; I am sanctified in Jesus Christ, God's Word the Truth, and I repent of all my sins now and hereby forgive all those who have sinned against me and I harbor no anger against them so that God also will not be angry at me but forgive me my sins. The Lord is always with me and I trust in His presence; His Rod and His Staff comfort me; His Word restores my soul. Jesus Christ is my Lord and my Righteousness, my shield and my Salvation. There is no reason to fear, because He will never leave me. He is the true Bread of Life which came down from Heaven and upon whom God the Father has placed His seal of approval. I will remain in Him, and through Him God will remain in me. I will remember his Covenants and meditate upon His Commands, knowing that if the world hates God and His Holy One, it will hate me also for obeying God; it hated The Lord Righteousness before me; yet I will remain obedient and faithful to the One True God who did not send his Son into the world to condemn it but to save the world through him because God desires mercy, not sacrifice, for he did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. I know I can ask God for anything in Jesus Christ's name and He will do it for me because I love and believe in the one He sent, and because He said so, so that I may bear good fruit and glorify the Son and the Father, showing myself to be one of His disciples. I love God and God loves me. I testify that Jesus the Christ is True because God has taught me and I am therefore blessed. I know I will die, but God will raise me up again. He did it before and will do it again. I will not put the Lord my God to the test, but I will trust in Him Who Knows All Things, for God and Jesus Christ alone are trustworthy. All life and death takes place only by His Will, for the very hairs on my head are all numbered by Him. God's Mercy is sufficient for me; I am weak, but God is Almighty. In the Last Day, a time only Our Heavenly Father knows and we are commanded to keep watch and take care of one another, The Lord will return in his Father's glory, call all who are in their graves to come out to be judged, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to him, those who have done good will rise to live and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned, and he will separate the obedient from the disobedient as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, placing the sheep at his right and the goats at his left. He will bring to eternal life those on his right who have obeyed him and followed him as sheep follow and obey the Shepherd and have loved all others as Jesus Christ loved them. And the door will be closed. I believe in the Holy Spirit who speaks only as he hears from God, the Kingdom of God within us, the Word of God and God's Truth and Almighty Mercy and Unfailing Faithfulness, that through God all things are possible, that God alone is Good, that The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation and has poured out his Spirit on all people to bless them so they would fulfill the meaning of life which is to obey God and have eternal life which is to know God and Jesus Christ His Son, in the forgiveness of sins, and in the resurrection of the body and the soul by Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God who is the Resurrection and the Life Everlasting by God's Almighty Mercy. Tehillah Yahweh!" This is not comprehensive, for the Word of God is Spirit, Truth and Life to the soul. Yet it may further glorify God and bless those who seek Him. I have the honor to be obedient to God, Your Holiness, with great blessings, . -- February 2, 2013 Dear Esteemed Family and Friends (all eight of you), I wrote my congressman the following e-mail. It regards guns and weapons, which is a present topic. ----- Dear Esteemed Congressman Chris Smith: I speak through the Holy Spirit on behalf of The Lord God Almighty who created Existence. I speak from my heart what is right, for I know God who said, "I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight." (Jeremiah 9:23-24). I love God, and so I speak with Truth, Jesus Christ, the Lord our Righteousness and Salvation, in the name of Kindness, Justice and Righteousness. We do not need weapons. A proper government, one founded on Truth and which exercises True Justice for all people, must know and obey the God of Truth and Life who commanded, "Thou shalt not kill," "Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive," and who commanded, "Live!" Weapons and combat are the wrong path for mankind. We were commanded from the beginning to rule over the earth and subdue it; science and all other fields in the study of nature work towards this, to understand the nature of corporeal things. Greater understanding is given to us from God's Mouth, Jesus Christ the Lord, who spoke to us from the beginning and is the Life-giver of all Creation. He spoke and the World and Life came into Existence. All those on the side of Truth listen to him, for he and God is One. A proper government, one founded in obedience to the God of Life, Truth, Loving Kindness and Compassion and Mercy, True Justice, and Righteousness, means that its members must hold a passionate dedication to seeking the truth of all matters. True Justice works for the betterment of all those involved; it is the opposite of hatred, violence and revenge, which seeks to kill and destroy and condemn in order to assert ones' own control over another being. Revenge, hatred and destruction are evil; True Justice is of God who alone is Absolutely Good. In all situations involving government, from the point of investigation through the court system and through any systems of rehabilitation and punishment, the commands of God must be obeyed. Police in [state of residence] overall do very well, and I hold some of these people in high regard. Hurricane Sandy was given to us as a test, to test and refine us, as God said in abounding mercy, "See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?" (Jeremiah 9:7). Because God does not change, he did not completely destroy us, despite the wicked and corrupt tendencies of our hearts. "I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed," (Malachi 3:6) and "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail." (Lamentations 3:22). Let us love one another as Jesus Christ our Teacher and Master and God loves us. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away," and "I have loved you with an everlasting love, and you are mine." Let the government exercise True Justice in its police work, its educational systems, its justice systems which extend its educational systems, and all other areas. Work for God and be on the side of Truth, Kindness, Justice and Righteousness, for in these things God delights. "The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight." Do not judge or condemn, but let us work for the betterment of all people in every situation and thereby love one another as ourselves and furthermore as God loves us. Richard Nixon said, "We come in peace for all mankind." He spoke as we who know God speak, for we who know and serve God are all brothers with one Father, the Lord God Almighty. Our salvation is from God's mouth and right hand: Jesus Christ. Our advocate and counsellor is the Holy Spirit who speaks to us only what he hears from God's Mouth, Jesus Christ. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. God's Word is Absolute Truth. Everyone on the side of Truth listens to him; "They will all be taught by God," for God said, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy..." (Joel 2:28). Richard Nixon spoke in this way as those who are from God speak: Do not be afraid, I come in peace, peace be with you, peace to this household. All proper placement of trust is only ever in God and Jesus Christ. We were created to obey God, for "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from God's mouth." We, the human race, and we, all Creation, exist according to God's Will. It is only therefore Just and Right to obey God. The laws of government, therefore, must coincide with the laws of God, and therefore govern properly in working for God, so that all people would obey God. The valid society will be founded on this principle, that the meaning of life is to obey God. We are all unworthy servants, for the meaning of life does not involve worthiness, and we all are weak but God is Almighty and loves us, but rather, we who obey will only be commended by God when he says to us, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matthew 25:23) as "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25). Understand that "good" means "of God, who alone is Good," and that to be "blessed" is according to "blessed rather are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." We have a unique opportunity in life to work towards a "utopian" or ideal society, one where "for the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill the earth, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14) is in place and the Kingdom of God thrives within the hearts and minds of all people and the Holy Spirit guides each person and reminds them of everything Jesus Christ taught us. All this and more is God's Mercy which is sufficient for each person. We will always have the poor, but we will not necessarily have the hungry. I encourage all people to passionately seek the truth of all matters, and the first logical place to seek the truth of anything is the God of Truth. We do not need guns or weapons of combative violence and destruction. It is only lawful to save life, not destroy it, to do good things of God who alone is Good, not to do evil by disobeying God. The meaning of life is to obey God, and this involves knowing him through Jesus Christ, the only Way, the Absolute Truth and the Life Eternal, the only Lord our Righteousness and Salvation who is God's Right Hand. "Nobody can remove you from my Father's Hand." God's Mercy and Salvation, God's Word, Jesus Christ, Life, endures forever. He is Spirit and Truth by whom the true worshippers worship the Spirit of God. Let us all fulfill the meaning of life. Sincerely, ----- Forgiveness and Healing and Understanding is calling to you, and His Name is Jesus Christ, God Saves through Him alone. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. -- February 13, 2013 Dear Mr. Limbaugh: I wrote a three-page PDF file presenting an idea that, if considered and implemented, will save trillions of present and future lives and bring us to the path of world peace. This is the link to the PDF where you can read it and download it: [ link updated: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/documents/we_do_not_need_weapons.pdf ] I have also attached it to this e-mail, in case you prefer that method instead. Thank you sincerely for your consideration. I sent the information to my congressman but never heard back from him. This directly regards the present congressional debate of gun law and weapons. I'll elaborate a bit, since I don't think I will be able to listen to your radio show. I honestly think this is Nobel Peace Prize material, and its merit comes from God's Word; you may think differently, however. I can be contacted at this e-mail address if you like. I don't know with whom I can share this idea after my congressional representative, some folks at FOX News and now you. Nobody has responded to me so far, and so I think my next contact would be Governor Chris Christie. I'm also going to try to call Chris Smith, my congressman, to speak with him directly this time... Thank you. , [state of residence] resident -- We Do Not Need Weapons The Arms Race is entirely lethal weaponry. Remove the lethality by turning it into a non-lethal arms race and all other elements will remain equal, but you will have removed the death toll from all societies on earth. A legitimate government does not kill; but it educates. The death penalty is vengeance and revenge against a person who has committed a crime; this is the antithesis of Justice. True Justice works for the betterment of all people involved, and it works in hand with Truth. Truth is not obtained by murdering or killing or destroying; it is only obtained through obeying God's Word: "thou shalt not kill". That the meaning of life is to obey God is the only legitimate foundation of any society; obeying God's Word must be the core value of any legitimate government and cannot ever be broken without disastrous results on the human race and the entire world. Human life is the most valuable life of all on earth; we kill animals to eat them, but we do not need to have lethal weapons for this purpose, only tools such as knives, nets, and other technologies to trap and eat our food. A proper government uses the justice system to rehabilitate and improve the situations of everyone involved. A proper justice system works as an extension of the educational system; where the educational system was not sufficient to impress upon students the necessity to do what is right, or the difference between right and wrong, the justice system must continue that education. It must not murder or let a person rot in jail or throw them into the electric chair or kill them in any other way. It must do what is right and just by working to improve the situation of both the one who would oppress and the oppressed. It must exemplify loving your neighbor and loving your enemy and working to improve the situation for all those involved. The bottom line is this: WE DO NOT NEED WEAPONS. The issue is one of power and control. As far as I am concerned, everyone is psychotic or neurotic in certain ways. If these people are seeking help, they can find help. But if a person is at the point where they threaten your life with a tool abused as a weapon or with any lethal weapon, you have a choice to make in your response. If your choice is to defend yourself, you can do so with either a lethal weapon or a nonlethal tool of apprehension, pacification and incapacitation. What you need is not a more lethal weapon in your hand, but you need a power-superior defense or non-lethal offensive tool to defend yourself. How to solve The Arms Race: Step 1. Stop manufacturing lethal weapons. Result: everyone in possession of a lethal weapon is readily identifiable as a threat to be pacified; black market for lethal weapons increases; the value of lethal weapons increases as people stockpile them in paranoia. Constants: psychotic people who want to kill will still try to kill with lethal weapons Constants Changes: murderers will no longer be able to kill as many people, since ammunition will become scarce and they will resort to crafting their own knives, guns, bombs, etc. Step 2. Change the lethal arms race into a non-lethal arms race. Result: death toll drops dramatically -- consider: how many people have been killed by another person? untold trillions of lives will be saved. police and law enforcement and military no longer carry lethal weapons, but tools to incapacitate, pacify and apprehend safely and legitimately, if such force and tools become necessary. Constants: psychotic people who want to kill will still try to kill with lethal weapons Constant Changes: murderers will find that lethal weapons are no longer effective to exert power or control. Presently, we have terrorists who wield machetes and swords. When they go up against machine guns, they say, "these swords are no longer effective," and they buy machine guns instead. When they go up against bombs, they use bombs instead. When they go up against nuclear weapons, they use nuclear weapons instead... this is a path of death and destruction for mankind. The solution is to remove the lethality of the tools, to improve the technology of the non-lethal arms race so that the lethal weapons are no longer effective in exerting power or control. It is about superior technology. Death and lethality do not need to be an element in the equation. The role of the judicial and executive government is to seek the truth of a situation and work for True Justice, not vengeance, revenge or destruction. Now when terrorists see that machine guns, bombs and nuclear weapons are no longer superior technology, they will do what they have always done: try to obtain the superior technology, so that they can use it to exert more power and control. But in doing so, people will not be facing mortal consequences, because the superior technology will be non-lethal. The lethal arms race has had such a focus and investment by the military and all societies that the non-lethal arms race is presently inferior in technology. But if we can invest in greater means of killing more and more people, we can invest in greater means of apprehending, pacifying and incapacitating more and more people, if such force were ever to be necessary -- but such a scenario would still be superior in all ways to genocide. We will still have psychotic people, and we can still work to help them get well. All other aspects of the problems of humanity will remain the same, but untold trillions of lives will have been saved simply by changing our focus from the lethal arms race to a non-lethal arms race. We must base our entire motivation upon obeying God's Words, for this is the only way true justice will result in a society and a government could ever hope to be valid. Thou Shalt Not Kill. We need to develop the non-lethal arms race, in both its offensive tools and defensive tools, such so that no person's life is ever jeopardized, whether they are the worst criminal to ever live or a newborn babe. In sum, - Convert the lethal arms race into a non-lethal arms race, so that the technology used to apprehend and pacify is superior in efficiency and effectiveness to the lethal weapons technology. - This procedure includes the ceasing of lethal arms manufacturing and use by all law-abiding people, including the military, police, government agencies and citizens; and the focus on the development of the non- lethal arms and superior methods of living according to God's Commands. "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." In our development of tools in the non-lethal arms race, we must base all of our efforts upon the wisdom that God alone is in absolute control and God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. The technology must suit the purpose 100% -- non-lethal, non-harming, and efficient in Justice for everyone involved in a situation. The non-lethal arms in our present technology are insufficient because they are too hazardous by being potentially lethal. - All our efforts must reflect that we serve God; we as a world must recognize the difference between those who serve God and those who do not. Those who do must base all their efforts on obeying God, and that includes helping those who do not serve or know God to get the psychological and spiritual help from God they need. If a person is at the point where they are looking to kill someone, then that person needs help; shooting them or harming them will not help them, but using technologically-advanced tools to pacify and apprehend them without harming them is a potentially valid step along the way towards helping them with their dilemma. We must love one another, because that is what God commanded us despite our many shortcomings and psychoses and neuroses that each of us have. Everyone is weak, but God is Almighty and does not change, and God loves each of us. The only valid action is based upon God's commands; and when we obey God's commands, it is then that we reach the solution to our mental and physical and spiritual deficiencies -- for all Truth, Logic and Wisdom is found in knowing and obeying God according to His Word Jesus Christ, and it is in God's Salvation Jesus Christ that we are truly sanctified and of sound being. This is not of our own strength, but of God's strength; God can do anything, because God is the Lord God Almighty. You must obey God and keep watch. -- May 13, 2013 ----- Why do people dislike talking about religion? Religions are complicated and people feel overburdened at their discussion. And yet actually, these discussions are not necessary, because life is not all that complicated. All you have to do is obey God's commandments (know them first) and learn from Jesus Christ, God's Son. Jesus, whose name means "God Saves", is God's Salvation for all who would look to God through him, and God forgives, so repent of your sins (sin is when you disobey God) and believe the Good News of Jesus Christ. That's all there is to it, nothing at all complicated or complex; nothing requiring credentials or certifications or degrees or qualifications of men. All you need to know about life comes from the God of Life whose only Son is the Life, the Truth, and the Way to God and the Way to eternal life, which is to know God and Jesus Christ his Son. And God is God: "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout all the earth. My Word will not return to me empty-handed." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. So you see, it's not complicated at all. All who are enabled by God to seek him will come to Jesus Christ and will find him, because they have room in their hearts for God's Word and they belong to God and have been enabled by God to go to him. It is not difficult, there is no great feat of human effort required, but only a humble heart and the will to understand what God (Jesus) says and who Jesus Christ is. And then the Truth will set you free, and you will really be free, no longer a slave to sin and subject to death, because Jesus Christ, God's living words, will be in you and with you, and Jesus will know you and nobody can remove you from His Hand -- God and Jesus Christ is/are one. ----- As for the degree, I have nothing to say except that I do intend to continue it, and that I am still working. I'm actually rather annoyed/agitated/frustrated for several reasons right now, most prominently: 1) That people do not understand, simply put; 2) That they are not willing to understand in their hearts; 3) And the result of this madness is the abuse and insanity of what men do. This means that I cannot see how music can be used to serve God's Will, nor do I care what men think or have in mind or are capable of doing. Educational systems are a plague of madness, of men looking to their own abilities instead of thinking in their hearts, "I have been worried about what I can do, but what can God do? 'With God, all things are possible.'" Societies are amuck with fear and the horrors of the weeds, but God is the Gardener; Fear Him. When men say, "but God is God," then they will understand, and THEN we can start improving, and it will not come from our own strength -- which is actually weakness -- but from the Almighty who alone is Good, because at that time we listen when Jesus said, "Nobody is good except God alone. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." -- Matthew 19:16-30 Here is 16-21. ----- Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments." "Which ones?" he inquired. Jesus replied, "'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'" "All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." ----- God is the only one who is Absolutely Good. In fact, Absolutely, God is the Only One, One with Jesus Christ his Son, and God wields His Holy Spirit. In my heart, I must relinquish all my possessions and follow Jesus Christ. Physically, this translates to selling all the possessions that I do not more substantially use to honor God and give some of them along with the resulting money to those who are in more substantial need of money than I do, for their appropriate care (food, clothing, shelter, survival); and as Jesus Christ explained "use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings; whoever is trustworthy with very little will also be trustworthy with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much, so if you have not been trustworthy handling worldly wealth, who will give you true riches?" And yet God and Jesus Christ is One and -- "do not believe me unless I do what my Father does" -- is the only One who is Absolutely Trustworthy. -- Jesus exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness. He serves God. God is the only one who is Absolutely Good. Jesus Christ is the Source of Purity to God. Jesus Christ is my Righteousness. Jesus Christ is also my Salvation. -- The cure for depression is to Keep Watch. -- "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:12). -- Why do we put locks on doors? It is to keep people out. When you go to bed at night, don't you check first that all the doors and windows are locked? You do this for the modicum of assurance of safety that can provide. Whose house is this church? The congregation says it is God's House, like God said, "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." Therefore, a church building having locks on its doors means that its people are saying, "The Lord God Almighty is afraid to have people come to his house, this church." Or does the church believe that more safety comes from a lock on a door than that which the Sovereign God can provide? Now when someone wants to present themselves before their Lord at his house, they cannot enter because those faithless cowards who put locks on the doors turn them away. Jesus Christ said, which is written in Matthew 23:13, "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to." He also said, which is written in Matthew 25:43, "I was a stranger and you did not invite me in." -- Why are the church leaders afraid to have people speak to the congregation? Jesus Christ said, "Freely you have received, so freely give." He also cited, "They will all be taught by God." He also said, "What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." Are we to keep bread to ourselves, not sharing it with those in most need, as Job said is wrong in Job 31:17 ? Jesus said, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat." And he said, "Feed my lambs and sheep and take care of them." 2nd Corinthians 8:3, "For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people." Philippians 2:1, "Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, any comfort from his love, any common sharing in the Spirit, any tenderness and compassion in your heart, then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, having the same love [of Jesus Christ], and being one in him in spirit and mind." 1st Corinthians 10:16, "When we bless the cup at the Lord's Table, aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren't we sharing in the body of Christ?" Jesus said, "From whomever is given much, much more will be expected," and "Each received according to his ability." Romans 12:6, "In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things for God's pleasure. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If it is to instruct, then instruct well. If it is to encourage others, then be encouraging. If it is to give and contribute, then give generously. If you have a leadership ability, then take the responsibility seriously. If your responsibility is to show kindness, compassion and mercy, then do so cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another with brotherly love; honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." Psalm 69:9, "Zeal for your house has consumed me, and the disapproval of those who disapprove of you has fallen on me." Philemon 1:6, "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ." Hebrews 13:16, "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Romans 6:5, "Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was." Ezekiel 12:25, "But I, the Lord, will speak what I want, and because I speak, what I say is fulfilled immediately. There will be no more delays, you rebellious people of Israel, because as I have threatened to destroy you in the past, I will perform your destruction in your lifetime." Exodus 20:19, "Then they said to Moses, 'Speak to us yourself and we will listen, but do not have God speak to us directly or else we will die.'" John 16:13, "When The Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own but will only speak what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." Do church leaders believe that God lets just anyone speak in his house? Deuteronomy 18:20, "But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die." Psalm 73:8, "They scoff and with malice speak only evil; with arrogance and pride they threaten violence and oppression." Job 13:7, "Are you defending God with lies? Are you permitting your heart to use deceit in an attempt to defend The God of Truth?" Numbers 22:38, "Look, I am here before you now, but I cannot say whatever I want. I will speak only the message that God has put in my mouth." Acts 18:9, "One night, the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: 'Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you because I have many of my own people in this city.'" Jesus said, "Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body, but cannot do anything to you after that. Instead, be afraid of the one who, after the death of the body, has the power and authority to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I am telling you to fear him. Don't people consider the life of a bird worth a few pennies for a dozen? But not even a bird will fall to the ground unless your Father wills it to happen. And you are much more valuable than any number of birds. Even the hairs on your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid." -- This week, I sent two e-mail messages and called three times to a local church that I have attended. The recipients were Dennis Przywara, Dan Terracciano, and Chris Pascarella of the Lincroft Bible Church. Here was my first e-mail message: June 20, 2016, 4:20 PM Subject: I would like to speak To Whom It May Concern: We have Peace. I would like to share with the congregation some of what Jesus Christ has taught me. I have asked other churches in the Shrewsbury / Red Bank area where I live, and in the surrounding areas, but they ignored me or turned me away. I simply need a few minutes to share my food. What I would like to share I have written on my web server as a text file accessible at this URL: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/. The reason why I am asking is because my family has attended Lincroft Bible Church in the past, and I have been friendly acquaintances with who attends services regularly. I am available to speak briefly during the service this Sunday. Please let me know whether this is acceptable or advise me otherwise. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience this week. Sincerely, , Credo ---- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens Here was my second e-mail message: June 22, 2016, 9:08 AM Subject: Re: I would like to speak at the Lincroft Bible Church on Sunday, June 26, 2016 Dear Dennis, Dan, and Chris, I sent you this e-mail two days ago regarding my speaking for a few minutes during the service this Sunday, June 26, 2016. I did not receive a reply from any of you yet. Please confirm that you are receiving my e-mails. I will also call the church this morning and leave a message. Sincerely, , Credo ---- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens At 9:31 AM, I called the Lincroft Bible Church. The secretary answered. I said: "Hello, my name is . I am calling regarding my speaking at the Lincroft Bible Church on this Sunday, June 26, 2016. I sent two e-mail messages this week to Dennis, Dan and Chris, but they did not respond. Please have one of these three men confirm receipt of my messages." She asked me for my telephone number, and I gave it to her, and she said that Dennis was in a meeting and that she would give him my message. She hung up. At 10:01 AM, I called back and said that I had called 30 minutes ago and she had said that Dennis was in a meeting. I inquired when I should expect his phone call. She said the meeting was expected to run until at least 12:00 PM. At 1:27 PM, I called back and inquired about when I should expect to hear back from Dennis. She informed me that she gave him my message and that he had replied to my e-mail. I told her "thank you, have a nice day," and she hung up. Here was the reply: June 22, 2016, 10:47 AM From Dennis Przywara To Cc Dan Terracciano and Chris Pascarella Dear sir, I'm sorry, but I do not you at all and to be perfectly clear, you will not be allowed to speak to our congregation. Please do not view this as anything personal. It is not. I would suggest that you address your concerns with your own church leadership and the people who know you well. Respectfully, Dennis P. ...And so it stands that every church in the [county], [state], area, where I was born and raised and have lived around 30 years, has rejected me. Can you tell me why Hurricane Sandy passed its eye over my house and devastated this area? -- The leaders of churches build churches with locks on the doors. This means that God is afraid to have people go to church and is unwelcoming of visitors. The leaders of churches prohibit "outsiders" from speaking to the congregation. This means it is prohibited to speak about God in church. The leaders of churches only unlock the church doors for 1 hour and on one day of the week. This means we should only pay attention to God for one hour on Sunday and lock him away the rest of the time. The leaders of churches run the church as a non-profit organization, yet the church provides no public service, because it is on private property which is locked to the public. The leaders of churches preach generosity when they want to guilt-trip the congregation into giving more in tithes, yet keep all the tithes for themselves. The leaders of churches call themselves community leaders, but they only try to make themselves more popular, not make God more popular. The leaders of churches drone ridiculously about Biblical passages, but prevent anyone else from freely speaking a single statement of wisdom from God. The leaders of churches are like the Pharisees when Jesus said, "Woe to you, Pharisees, you hypocrites! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. You yourselves have not entered the Kingdom of God and you prevent those who are trying to enter from entering." The leaders of the churches are like those about whom Jesus spoke when he said, "I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts." Because if they loved God and Jesus Christ, they would obey him and not blatantly ignore every statement he has made as recorded in the Holy Bible. They only speak to honor themselves, because they are cowards and liars. "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself. But whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." I have six years of backlogged wisdom from God that these false prophets refused to let me speak to the churches. Those self-absorbed bad trees will be cut down and thrown into the fire. "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the Name of the Lord and rely upon his God." That is why I do not go to church. This is what I have to say to church leaders: You hypocrites! You fools! You expect to be paid in full for "services rendered" during church, but you would not even accept payment from someone like me to allow them 5 minutes to share with the congregation what God has taught them during their lifetime. Your arrogance is preventing both you and those paying you from entering the Kingdom. So let's go over this again... you think I should give up trying to speak in church? You think I have nothing of value to share, even though the only subject I actually am willing to talk about -- at all -- is God? This minister said, "It is nothing personal," but he only says that because he has interests other than God, whereas God is my only interest, so telling me I cannot talk about him -- in church, no less -- is the epitome of insults against my character and my person, not to mention against God. Why don't we take a vote: Who thinks it is inappropriate to talk about God in church? Apparently this minister does. It has become quite frankly an impossibility for anyone to show me respect. I am always the guilty party, even when I say nothing. God forbid I do say something. Then I get raked over the coals. People are supposed to have freedom of speech? Well I guess I'm not an actual person then. I must be an inhuman freak. And this is supposed to be about freedom of religion -- yet I have no freedom to practice what I believe, which is to share the blessings God has given me with other people. But when I speak to anyone, it makes things worse, because wicked people go from bad to worse because they are unwilling to listen to anyone besides their own minds. Since they want to respect only themselves, I can say nothing. -- "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. THEY WILL PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God; they will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this so that when the time comes, you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you. Now I am going to him who sent me. None of you are still asking me where I am going, but instead, you are filled with grief because I am telling you this. I am telling you the truth: it is for your own good that I am going away; unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world guilty of wrongdoing regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment: regarding sin, because people do not believe in me, regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father where you can no longer see me, and regarding judgment, because the prince of this world is now condemned. I have much more to say to you, but it is more than you can bear right now. When the Spirit of Truth comes, the Spirit of Truth will guide you into all the truth. [I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me. After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself. They will all be taught by God. Everyone who chooses to do God's will which is to learn from me will find out whether I speak on my own or whether the Father sent me. And whoever comes to me, I will never turn away, because I came only to do the will of the One who sent me, which is that whoever comes to me to have eternal life will receive it and that I will raise them up during the Last Day.] He will not speak on his own. He will only speak what he hears, and he will tell you about the future, just as I have been telling you about what is to come. He will return my glory to me by bearing fruit, accepting what I give him to make known to you. And you also must do this, testifying about me, because you have been with me to witness from the beginning of when I brought you to follow me. He will take from what is mine and explain it to you as your food. All that belongs to the Father is mine -- that is why I said that The Spirit will receive from me and explain to you. In a little while, you will not see me, and then after a brief period, you will again see me. You will mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but then your grief will change to joy, just as a woman giving birth to a child has pain in birthing, but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. Likewise, now is your time of grief, but I will see you again. At that time, you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day, you will no longer ask me anything. I am telling you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now, you have not asked for anything in my name, but simply ask, and you will receive, and so recognize and accept this as part of your complete joy. Although I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use figurative language but will instead tell you clearly and plainly about my Father. At that time, you will ask me in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf, but rather, the Father himself has loved you because you have loved me and have believed that I am from God. I came from the Father and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world and returning to the Father. Do you believe now because I am speaking clearly? Now and in the future, you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will abandon me, leaving me all alone. But I am not alone: my Father is with me. I have told you these things so that you will have peace in me, as I told you that I have given you Peace, My Peace, and that I am not giving to you as the world gives. In this world, you will have trouble. Have courage, understanding that I have overcome the world." (Paraphrased from John 16.) -- Some of you still argue that there should be a separation between church and state, and that church cannot be in a public building or on public property. Why then did God say, "My house will be called a house of prayer FOR ALL NATIONS." ? Doesn't "for all nations" mean "public"? Doesn't "everyone" mean "public"? Since it is everyone, who will you exclude? Who will you exclude by placing locks on the doors and standing in the doorway like a private club bouncer as if to say, "you are excluded from entering the premises" when God has clearly said, "all nations" which means "everyone", which means that by excluding anyone at all, you are effectively fighting against God and announcing to everyone that such a place is not in fact God's House? Or do you expect everyone to accept God only listening to them for one hour a week? Why is the government allowing the church to fraudulently claim non-profit organization status when it acts like a private club house? How do you think it makes God feel that I cannot go to church to pray on a Sunday, but I can go to a public library any day of the week? How do you think it makes him feel when people lock the doors to his house while he has said, "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." ? How do you think it makes him feel when the priests, ministers, and pastors do not let anyone else speak about him, do not let people they do not know into the church, and reject non-believers? How is a person to believe unless they have first not believed, and how is a person to understand unless they have not yet understood? Are priests, pastors and ministers omnipotent? Yet they prevent others from knowing God and Jesus Christ because they themselves cannot see past their own arrogance; they have not accepted Jesus Christ beyond their pride, nor have they entered the Kingdom of Heaven. How can they claim to be holy when they effectively fight against the only true God? How can they claim to know God and Jesus Christ, and how can they claim to believe in Jesus Christ, when Jesus Christ himself has never known them? How can they preach love when they do not have love for God in their hearts? How can they preach humility when they are so concerned with their own self-image and in fear cling to pride? They are guides of the blind, and both they and the blind they lead will fall into a pit when God puts one in their path. "They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God." (John 16:2). "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:12). -- Petition to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S. Congressman Chris Smith: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-senate-defend-public-freedom-of-religion I am calling for the revocation of non-profit organization status of every religious place that locks its doors to the public. Additionally, a mandate that states that a religious organization may not hinder access to its sanctuary. Whenever I go to church to pray, I find the doors locked and cannot enter. If I see someone inside, they ask me what I want but refuse to let me in. When I pray after the church service on Sunday, I am kicked out by maintenance after a few minutes. When I ask church leaders for permission to share some wisdom that I have learned from God during my lifetime before the congregation for 5 minutes, my requests are vehemently refused. For being a Christian and desiring to exercise freedom of religion and freedom of speech, I am shown great disrespect by just about everyone, from public officials, police officers, and human rights organizations, to family, friends and just about everyone else who has ever known or met me. I have a lifetime of anecdotes which proves this. I need to be allowed to exercise freedom of speech and freedom of religion. My beliefs dictate that I share with other people the blessings that God has given me. Currently, the public is prevented from doing this in religious places, and religious places are not the sanctuaries they claim to be. Therefore, I want a new law to be made: "The request for sanctuary in a religious place must be honored for all people, by all people." In order to enact this, every public official must immediately allow a person who says that they want sanctuary in church or the temple or other religious place to go there, either on their own or to be brought there by the public official. Because it is impractical to issue every person a key to the doors of a church building or temple, all churches and other religious places must remain unlocked at all times, so that everyone may find sanctuary therein. The safety of the house comes from the one who dwells therein. Everyone should respect the fact that people need The Lord. And about non-believers, it should be recognized that not everyone yet knows what they themselves need. God and Jesus Christ dwell within the Christian; that is where the safety of the believer is found, and the Kingdom of God is found within the spiritual heart of the believer in Jesus Christ. He, rather than locks on doors, constitutes their safety, their salvation, their being kept safe from the harm of spiritual death. Whoever trusts God should have no qualms about this. Surely, some will argue that the state does not have the right to legislate religious actions. I am a natural-born citizen of the United States of America. It is illegal to deny a natural-born citizen his rights: freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Certain religious organizations are denying these basic human rights and claiming their actions to be part of the religious beliefs. No valid religion denies basic human rights. It is not part of the religion to put locks on doors to prevent people from entering the church to pray. Rather, that is a perversion of religion and a prevention of justice: the public is prevented from seeking The Lord. But it is a state mandate that a church receives non-profit organization status as a result of its general nature of being a public service. But my argument is that it is instead a private club house that affords nothing of substance to the public. The substance of a religious place is sanctuary before The Lord. Sanctuary is not afforded to the public, because the public is not allowed to go there to pray; the doors are kept locked so that only a few specific people can enter it. Rather, there is a distinct discrimination and bias against non-members -- people who do not routinely pay the tithes, which are the equivalent of the Biblical "temple tax" -- and against anyone who cannot pay money to use the building. In every way, operations are private and for-profit, seeking to build the church rather than the community or the Kingdom of God. Sincerely, -- To: Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni Subject: Complaint of Police and Religious Misconduct and Petition June 25, 2016 Dear Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni: I am a resident of Shrewsbury, [state of residence]. My family -- The Family -- has lived here for three generations, over approximately the past 60 years. Over the past decade, I have attended several churches in the area and have spoken privately with some ministers, pastors, and priests regarding Christian matters. At one point several years ago, I visited Tower Hill Presbyterian Church in Red Bank, where I had played the trumpet for church services since the sixth grade (which would have been a period of about 15 years). I went there to pray in the chapel, so I went in, prayed, and on my way out, I told the secretary at the front desk how I greatly appreciated being able to pray in church. I asked Sue Falzone, who has known me since I started attending the church, whether she knew of any churches that were open all the time where I might be able to go and pray when I felt the need to do so. She was unable to recommend any, so I bid farewell and returned home. A short time later, a police officer knocked on my door and asked to speak with me on the doorstep. He inquired whether I was going to harm myself or someone else. It was obvious to me that Sue Falzone had called the police out of some kind of fear that I was suicidal or homicidal. Apparently, she felt that a person wanting to pray in church meant that the person was in such a dire situation. I told the police officer that I was not going to harm myself or anyone else, and in response, he asked if I would be willing to speak to someone, a minister from one of the local churches. I asked if he recommended this, and he said he did, and proceeded to page Reverend David McKirachan, who sat with me on the steps of my house and spoke with me, I suspect eventually giving the "OK" to the police officer or department acknowledging that I was not dangerous. Some time later, I attended the church where Reverend David McKirachan ministers, and before the service, I requested to speak with him that week to share some wisdom and blessings that God had taught me. Reverend David McKirachan is the pastor of The Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury (http://www.tpcas.org/), which is local. We met, and before I could say anything, he proceeded to speak to me with great disrespect, slights against my person and character, and with a variety of very many abusive remarks. He lied to me, saying that I was banned from the Tower Hill Presbyterian Church -- which I later had to investigate and found false -- and the other things he said to me were very hateful and intensely uncivil. He concluded that I needed to speak with a psychiatrist, and that I was an unloving scourge on society. When I returned home, I spoke with my mother about this, and she mailed him a letter in my defense, because everything he said to me was false, abusive, hateful, and slanderous against me. I have not filed a complaint, because I do not know who would bother listening to me. A few days after Hurricane Sandy, I noticed that there was a water leak in the basement. In my concern, I walked outside and went to my neighbors asking them if they knew how to fix this leak and advising them to check for the same thing in their basements -- I did this because I felt that all the focus was on the external damage instead of potential basement damage. As I went around and spoke with people in my neighborhood, a police officer drove up to me and asked me if I was going from door-to-door, to which I responded "yes", and asked me if I was from the water company, to which I responded "no". He got out of the police vehicle with another officer. He stood in front of me and the other officer stood further away to my left, preventing me from running away. He asked me, "why are you going door-to-door?" and as I began to explain that there was a leak in my basement, he interrupted me. He asked if I had an I.D. I told him that I had left it at home with my wallet (I was after all only walking in my neighborhood). He said suspiciously, "No I.D.?", and I said again, "It is at home." He asked me where I lived and I pointed to the left in the direction of my house and said the street name. Since the officer did not introduce himself, I looked at his badge number and read it out loud, so as to indicate that he should introduce himself as a legitimate police officer. Apparently, he took great offense at my reading his badge number, because he walked up to me and screamed at a ridiculously loud volume into my face, "the name is" and then said his name. It was so loud in my face that I was unable to understand what he said. I looked at the second officer to my left, indicating that I wanted him to intercede on my behalf, but he made no expression. The first officer proceeded to pat my body and made a struggling attempt to unzip my jacket, swatting away my hands when I said, "let me" and made attempts to unzip my own jacket. I retreated a step and put my hands under my arms and exclaimed, "sheesh!" because I was feeling that my personal space was being violated and I was being mistreated. I then stepped forward again and held my arms out a little away from my torso in submission. In my distress, I said, "Jesus Christ" and looked up at the sky in need. Jesus Christ then appeared to me along with angels and God, and I brought my dilemma before him and he took over. I immediately looked straight ahead and my arms went straight out to both sides so I was in the form of a cross. The officer then patted me down again, ordered me to get into his vehicle, then walked over to his vehicle and said, "Get in or I'll throw you in." I replied, "Alright; just give me a path," and then looked over at him and gestured with my right arm to indicate that he was blocking my passage to the rear seat of the vehicle. I walked over and as I was entering the vehicle, he told me to get out again. He proceeded to look on the inside of my underwear, apparently checking for concealed weapons, and said, "This is called 'operational intervention'." He again asked me why I was walking around the neighborhood, and as I again attempted to explain it to him, he interrupted me by saying something to the second officer, who replied to him, "You're going to drive him back home?" He then told me to get into the vehicle again, so I got in. He drove me back to my house, again asked me what I was doing walking around the neighborhood and knocking on peoples' doors. This time, in an unusually gentle voice, I responded, "I can explain it to you now, if you like," because the previous two times he asked me he did not actually let me say anything, and his fellow officer was not present now. He sighed, apparently calming, then got out of the car and opened the door. I asked him if I could come out now. He said to stay in the vehicle, then asked me if I was taking any medications. I told him I do not even take vitamins, although I maybe should. He walked with me up to my house door, and I told him that I lived with my mother, and asked him to "take it easy" with her. I also told him to not let me keep him. The door was locked, and I was flustered, and he reminded me to check if I had the key in my pockets, which I did, so I entered and he asked if he could come inside, and I said he could because I wanted to show him the leak in my basement to see if he could advise me. His partner also arrived, as did a third officer later. He saw a cellphone on the table, asked if it was mine, and I said it was my sister's. I asked him to come into the basement with me to look at the water leak. We walked down, I showed him the leak, and I found my wallet and showed him my driver's license. I explained to the three officers in my living room there that I was concerned because it took me three days to realize that I had a leak in the basement, and I felt my neighbors were probably only concerning themselves with the exterior of their houses and property, so I wanted to remind them to check for water in the basement. He said that such concerns should be given to the Shrewsbury Police Department by telephone. They left, and as he was walking out, he ordered me to not go outside. Well, we did not have electricity, and I had to use a mop and bucket to sop up the leak and empty the buckets of water outside, but otherwise, I respected his order. Now I have explained in great detail this particular event, but there are many other anecdotes I could give which clearly show that I have been mistreated by the members of my community. Those who do not mistreat me simply ignore me or brush me off. In fact, most disrespect has come from church leaders. I do not remember specific days, except that in one situation, I tried to go to a local church to pray on Sunday, but a man dressed in a suit came to the door and refused to let me inside; this was the Sunday after my 30th birthday, the Sunday after , 2016. I have written a petition here, in a last-ditch attempt at some recognition of my desperation. My family has decided to move to . I hope that I will be treated with basic human dignity and have my freedom of speech and freedom of religion, which are supposedly protected under the US Constitution, recognized there. https://www.change.org/p/u-s-senate-defend-public-freedom-of-religion I would have contacted Internal Affairs of my local police station, but I have completely lost all faith in the integrity of the Shrewsbury Police. Mayor Don Burden also ignores me, as does Rep. Chris Smith. I honestly have no idea to whom I can turn for assistance. I do not need counseling, I need to be treated with basic human dignity and basic human respect. Even my older sister mistreats me, and most of my family and friends regard me as naturally inferior. I lack friendship because nobody is willing to treat me with kindness. I regret that I cannot provide the badge number or name of the officer who, in my assessment, unlawfully touched me and mistreated me, because, as I said, he screamed his name so loudly into my face that I was stunned and felt a desperate need to call out to Jesus Christ for help. At least something good has come of all my problems: Jesus Christ has proven each time that he is trustworthy. Sincerely, ---- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens -- There is a saying, "It takes a community to raise a child." It takes a community to raise a community, and integrity and legitimacy to improve it. -- I was allowed to go to church today. I arrived at the first church late, but they let me pray. God showed me how there will be a separation, a rift, in the church. He said, "The Lord takes care of his own, wherever they are." The second church I attended approximately on time, and the sermon addressed my present concern about what each of us should be doing. We are to be the people who intercede for others, especially when they do not deserve mercy: it is those who are in the greatest need and struggles, pain, and bad situations who God is most focused upon and wanting to help -- God wants to provide miracles the most for those people who are sad or who are in bad situations, whose only hope is a miracle. It was the demon-possessed and desperate who Jesus sought and took aside in private and healed; when a person requires justice, Justice himself welcomes them. His name is Jesus Christ: "God Saves" and "the Anointed One", the Lamb for all people, so that whoever would look to him would receive the Absolute Justice of Salvation and knowledge of God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life -- knowledge that Jesus Christ is Righteousness who gives us himself, Righteousness, to eat, so that he, Righteousness, and his words, which are God's words that lead to knowledge of God and Jesus Christ (eternal life), would be within us forever, and he would make us cross over from death to Life (himself) and by learning about the Truth (him) we would have him and his words (Absolute Truth from God's Mouth) within us forever. God wants the most to give mercy to the wicked, the lost, so that they would look to him and cross over from death to life. Pray for your enemies and those who persecute you or think of you as inferior; they are the ones God wants most to draw to himself immediately, because they are in the greatest danger and in harm. So our role is to pray for, seek, and serve those who are in difficult situations, persistently interceding for them as God commanded Jesus Christ to intercede for all people, and as Jesus Christ wants to intercede for all people. "No servant is greater than his master, and no messenger is greater than the one who sent him, but whoever is fully trained will be like his master; it is enough for the servant to be like his master. [The same applies for good and bad trees.] So do not be afraid of them; everything that is hidden will be disclosed. So what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." -- "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but men's interests." We need to have in mind God's interests rather than men's interests. Men are interested in fame, wealth, and the facade of power; all these things out of the fear of security. But God is the only real provider of security, because God and Jesus Christ, who is God's Son and the Source of Purity to God who alone is Absolutely Good, alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Furthermore, God is In Control and does not let anything happen in Existence (which he holds within himself) apart from his permission. But we can ask him for his reasons, because Jesus Christ is the Teacher. God seeks glory for himself, and he is the Judge, so we need to do what Jesus Christ does and work in service of God's fame. "Be still, and know that I am God; my name will be glorified among the nations, my righteousness will never end, my salvation will endure for all generations." Jesus Christ said, "the distractions and anxieties of life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things" are weeds that choke and kill a person's heart from being focused upon God who alone is Good. God knows what each of us needs, and God is merciful. In order to live godly lives, we must become gods: we must become "of God", and the way to do this is through The Way to God: Jesus Christ. We must become students (disciples) of Jesus Christ, the Great Provider, the Bright Morning Star (metaphorically, the Sun), the source and sustainer of all life on Earth. As for "power", there is only one Strength and everything else is relative weakness. This is why Jesus Christ said, "My mercy is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness," and why Jesus Christ said, "I will give you whatever you ask in my name, so believe you have received it, because it will be yours. You may ask me for anything in my name [Salvation] and I will do it for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit and thereby reveal that you are my disciples. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf; instead, the Father has loved you because you believe in his only Son." So "need" means that requirement that each person has for Jesus Christ's body and blood [Mercy] and Jesus said we can ask him for anything in his name, God's Salvation, and in his great Mercy, God will give us that for which we ask. "You have not yet asked in my Name. Ask, and you will receive, and you will have a complete joy." But we want God to be patient with us, so when we ask, we must also be patient with God: "be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test." Working for God's Glory, asking in Jesus Christ's name which is "God Saves", we should recognize Jesus Christ as our Righteousness and our Salvation. Jesus Christ wants to help everyone, and he will not turn anyone away if they come to him in prayer and are willing to trust him with their heart, mind, soul and will. Each person can recognize Jesus Christ's voice by learning "every word that comes from the mouth of God" as recorded in the Holy Bible. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They recognize my voice and will not follow a stranger's voice but instead run away from a stranger because they do not recognize his voice. My sheep follow me and I give them eternal life. Nobody can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than All, has given them to me. Nobody can remove them from my Father's Hand. The Father and I are One." Jesus Christ is God's Living Mouth and Hand and Son. He himself is Life who draws us towards himself and the Father with God's words; as God's Mouth, he speaks to us only what God says, just as he has heard and seen from his Father. God is God, and Jesus Christ is the Author of Existence with God as The Lord God Almighty, the Father and the Son. He wields his Most Revered Holy Spirit and gives birth to the spirit of each person: "man does not live exclusively upon bread, but also upon every word that comes from God's Mouth." "Flesh gives birth to flesh, and the Spirit gives birth to spirit. [...]" "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But some of you do not believe. That is why I said that nobody can come to me unless the Father has enabled them, and then I would raise them up during the Last Day." So what are we to do? Are we to care about food, clothing, and shelter, that which Jesus Christ said Our Heavenly Father knows we need? He said, "Do not worry about these things, but just trust that God is Faithful in his love for you and knowledge and understanding of everything, and seek the Kingdom of God first, then God will take care of you with everything else you also need." Make the investment first in the interests that God has -- after all, God wants what is legitimately best for you because He Created you -- and then additionally, he will support you with your physical needs. At a secret time, God determined your entire lifetime within his plans, and then he created both your body and your soul, and you were born into the world. Jesus Christ, God's Hand, made this happen along with God the Father, and Jesus Christ nurtured your body through Mercy and wants you to know him so that he can feed your soul with Wisdom and Real Food that is his words that lead to knowing God and Jesus Christ. This eternal life needs to be sought first, because it is most important for your current and future well-being. But our very lives are a testament to God's Mercy: that we exist, that we are born, that we eat and drink, and that we are given the opportunity to know the only true God who is Absolutely Good and deserving of all admiration. Eat and drink as Jesus Christ ate and drank: "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice." Also take the initiative to share you food with others, just as Jesus Christ shared his food with others. ("My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.") But do not worry about physical food and drink, and clothes and shelter; instead, be concerned with what God is interested in: your eternal well-being in the presence of his only Son, Jesus Christ, the embodiment of Mercy who "exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on The Earth, because I delight in these things." He exercises himself on The Earth; God gives everyone that in which he delights: "this is my Son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" It is a decision to listen to Jesus Christ, it is a blessing of revelation to understand what he says ("blessed rather are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it"; to be blessed means to be taught by God through Jesus Christ the Teacher), and it is a decision to subsequently believe in him because you can see for yourself that everything he says is true. "If anyone chooses to do God's will [listen to Jesus Christ], he will find out whether I speak on my own, or whether I say and do what the Father has taught me to say and do on his behalf. Whoever speaks on their own does so in order to gain honor for themselves. But whoever speaks on behalf of, and for the honor of, the one who sent him, is a man of truth, in whom there is nothing false." "How can you believe if you accept praise from each other but make no attempt to obtain the praise that only comes from the only God?" -- I sympathize with church leaders. It is not easy to manage a church. But what is more important than the building is the sanctuary therein. And what is more important than the sanctuary is the one who dwells therein. And what is important to the one who dwells therein is that the building remain unlocked so that people can come to him. Think about September 11, 2001. Think about mass shootings and contemporary persecutions, of the molestation and rape of citizens, of the bullying in schools and the workplace, of the degeneration of the family unit and the devolution of society that the world is suffering nowadays. In times like these, people of faith look to the church, to the temple, to God, for guidance and safety. They look to God for sanctuary when they are in desperation and do not know what else to do. Churches have a special room in the building called the "sanctuary". I have been in this situation, and I have stood and sat outside the doors of the churches in my area with a desire to seek an audience with The Lord of Hosts in his house. Each time I have done this, I could not enter the sanctuary because the doors to the church were locked. When society is in desperate times and people turn to God, is God willing to let them stand and sit outside, or is he willing to provide sanctuary? Now who is to say when a person is to be allowed sanctuary and when they are to be disallowed sanctuary? "Do you light a lamp and then put it under a bowl?" -- "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy. I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion." It is not for us to decide who receives mercy and compassion; it is for God to decide this. And we must not in any way hinder God from showing compassion to those upon whom he desires to show compassion, or we will be fighting against God and losing his favor. -- It only takes one person to be a friend. A friend is someone who you enjoy spending time with because they listen and acknowledge and socialize with you in such a way that kindly honors your heart, simultaneously personally and respectfully. Even if they cannot understand, or have the capacity to comprehend what you need, a sincere interest and the attempt to relate is better than no response or ignoring them. So do not be afraid to simply respond kindly: a kind word works a dozen miracles. An expression of love is an expression of power, because God and Jesus Christ is the one who absolutely loves each person, even when they do not perceive his gentle compassion. -- June 30, 2016 Hello! This is a friendly reminder that you are all welcome here. Have a nice week and Happy Independence Day for the fellow Americans. -- It is a sad thing for anyone to die. In these Internet settings, we can help each other through words: praying for each other, encouraging each other, and offering ideas. For example, at one point, an online acquaintance told me that his girlfriend was saying to him that she was going to commit suicide. She lived in another country, so I told him to call his local police and tell his parents; and he found out that the girl's mother walked in on her as she was trying to kill herself. I don't know if his telling his parents or contacting his local police was a help, but it was an attempt to help anyway when he saw the need. We are not totally in isolation from each other. We talk about menial or common matters, but the real "meat and potatoes" is simply taking an interest in what a person is saying. "Well do I know your suffering." -- "Be perfect [as always loving everyone], just as your Heavenly Father is perfect." When you are disappointed by someone, or angry at them, remember that perfection is a goal that few have pursued. Are you willing to be perfect so you can respond in the best way? That is how desperate people are able to find hope: by in solitude considering humble and righteous acts, as Jesus Christ intercedes on behalf of the weak before The Mighty One. -- Fear manifests itself through suspicion, bad manners, provocation, and violence. But those who behave selflessly love in a genuine way that only God and Jesus Christ understand, because they exhibit purity and Jesus Christ is the Source of Purity and God is the only one who is Purely Good. "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." This is the matter of honor: either you want it for yourself, or you want The Truth for yourself in honor of The God of Truth who already has all glory, who is the only power, who alone is in control, and who is the only one to whom is actually worthy giving praise and service. This is the question: are you satisfied with the Justice of hearing others praise God and Jesus Christ, or are you satisfied with having people give you praise? Would you rather that the only true God commend you, or would you rather have any number of people commend you? God seeks glory for himself; are you working for him or against him? He is the Judge. -- Jesus Christ forgives sins. Therefore, because you are forgiven, leave your life of sin and do something better instead. "There is only one who is good." "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and refused to keep my commands. Return to me, and I will return to you. Bring your heart before me, be honest and fully disclosed to me in prayer. Test me in this, and see if I will not pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. I am the only safehaven for your heart, mind, soul and will. I know how treacherous you are, but I am a forgiving God, slow to anger and abounding in real love. Remember my commands and eat the body and blood of my Son, your Lord, Jesus Christ, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. You need to listen to him. I have loved you with an everlasting love; before I made you, I loved you, while you are on my footstool, I love you, and when my words are all that remain, I will love you. But my enemies will be punished forever, so repent, and accept my Son as your Righteousness and Savior, and listen to what I am saying to you through him, because he is my only Son and sits at my Right Hand in Heaven which is my throne, and he is bringing you closer to me so that you will live forever; because I am the God of those who are alive, not of those who have died. Whoever believes in me and my Son will live forever, because it is my desire for you to live, so trust Jesus Christ your shepherd, for I will never let your soul be harmed if you will simply accept what I have said and done. You will then remain in my love, and I will take care of you and am pleased because you accepted my Son. He gives you life and is the only way that you can dwell with me among my glory. He and I will dwell within your heart if you learn what he has said as written in the Holy Bible and listen to him; if you do this, you will learn for yourself if he speaks and does as I say and do, and if you understand and accept him, he will set you free from death and sin which are enslavers, and I will be with you forever. I alone am faithful and trustworthy, and there is none other who guides your path like I do. I have told you to listen to my Son, and by doing so, you will know me, and I will be with you wherever you are so that you will never be afraid. Do not test me; trust me instead. Ask, and be patient; I already know what you need, and you will receive because I am kind and you asked. When you ask, be patient, because I am patient with you." -- Let's use logic. Jesus Christ teaches that God is the only being who is perfectly and absolutely -- so actually -- Good. God exhibits goodness absolutely; he defines goodness and acts that way because he wants to act that way. Jesus Christ is pure faithfully to God. Jesus Christ brings us to know God through himself, because he is the only "Way" to knowing God because he is God's Son and is the "Truth" absolutely and the "Life" eternally while God is the God of Truth and Life, the only real and true God of those who are alive in reality of existence. God created everyone and said, "I am who I am", which means that he is the Absolute Truth proven by Existence which is present because he speaks it into being. God holds Existence within himself through Jesus Christ his Son who is his Living Mouth and Hand, inseparable from the Father who dwells in Heaven. So God defines goodness and willfully exhibits it as being Absolutely Good, and Jesus Christ is the best. God showed that self-sacrifice in service of true kindness, justice and righteousness is the love that he desires from us: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice. The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world but instead to save the world through himself." Jesus Christ obeyed and did everything just as God commanded him to say and do, including cleaning through teaching what God taught him and doing what God shows him, curing, protecting the needy, and laying down his own life and taking it up again. He does not expect us to be him, but to learn from him so that we would be like him and believe in him, keeping these commands with us as guidance at all times: look after each other, intercede with kindness and mercy in service of good justice, love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will, be a person of truth without giving false testimony, be legitimate without committing adultery, serve God of Life without murdering, be generous and considerate without stealing, honor your father and mother by learning from them and giving help to them, and in thoughtful consideration treat each person as you would like to be treated by them. When you can do nothing, you can still pray, and when you cannot pray, you can still trust God and Jesus Christ, and when you cannot trust God and Jesus Christ, you can still humble yourself in sorrow before him, and when you cannot humble yourself before him, you are still alive and forever dependent upon his will even if you can do nothing. And God and Jesus Christ loves you and can do anything. "What goes into a person's mouth does not make them 'unclean', but what comes out of their mouth is what makes them 'unclean'. People say what comes from their heart, and these make a person 'unclean': evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from a person's heart and make them 'unclean'." "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Each person speaks out of the overflow of their heart." "You are those who seek honor for yourselves among people, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among people is detestable in God's sight." All those evils that come from a person's heart turn them away from God and are unacceptable and detestable to God. But you are desired by God and are inherently acceptable to him, which is why he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, to be born into the world through his Most Revered Holy Spirit and save the world through his actions and words. Jesus Christ said, "My words have made you clean," and so whoever accepts his words by listening and understanding that he only says the truth will be made clean by harboring his words -- remembering them in their heart -- and believing in him, and trusting in him, and ultimately, this faith makes that person cross over from Death to Life because the person has honored Jesus Christ in their heart and therefore honored God in their heart -- "whoever welcomes me is really also welcoming the one who sent me" -- and God is the Judge of the heart, mind, soul and will of each person. By believing in Jesus Christ, a person becomes a servant and son or daughter of God, in service to the one who alone is Absolutely Good: There is no more battle, Just listen to him, His Commandments are solid, Trust just in his Might. We do not fight, because there is no more battle. The acts of war that we wield are brave intercession in service of mercy, because we want God to be merciful to us. "Need" means that a person requires Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ satisfies sufficiently: "My merciful grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." So wield self-humility to defend the weak as Jesus Christ selflessly brought Justice to victory for all through working and laying down his life only to take it up again as The Intercessor, the Great King of Mercy and Justice and Righteousness whose vision is always looking to The Father and who manages all Creation. God loves everyone, and so we must love everyone. God is merciful to everyone, and so we must be merciful to everyone. God exercises real Justice in benefit to everyone according to God's great wisdom -- that is, Wisdom -- and God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and so we need to do what God does which is point to Jesus Christ. We look to Jesus Christ in our own defense, because he is our Righteousness. We look to Jesus Christ in our desperation because he is our Salvation. We look to Jesus Christ in hope, because only he will satisfy the heart, mind, soul and will of each person. "The nations will put their hope in his Name." We look to Jesus Christ, but he said, "You will look for me, but as I told the Jews, you cannot come where I am going [now, but you will follow later]." And later, he said, "Do not be troubled or afraid in your heart. Trust in God and in me. In my Father's House, there are many rooms; I would have told you if it were not so. I am going there to prepare a place for you. That means I will also come back and take you there to be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. I am the way [to God], the truth [absolutely, which is spoken by God], and the life [eternally with the God of Life]. Nobody can come to the Father unless he does so through me. If you really knew me, you would also know my Father; from now on, you do know him and have seen him. Do you still not recognize me, even after I have been among you for such a long time? The Father is in me, and I am in the Father; do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. If I am doing what my Father does, but you still do not believe me, then also consider the evidence of the miracles so that you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." (Paraphrased.) -- Why do people think they can escape by killing themselves? It is because they are desperate and they are trying to run away; but they would be running into harm rather than into safety. "God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living, because he holds all." So where will you find safety? There is only safety in one place, and it is found in the opposite direction of death and the grave. Jesus means "God Saves", and "Immanuel" means God's Presence with us. "I assure you that I am with you always, even until the end of Heaven and Earth." (He said, "...even until the end of the Age," and "the Age" is the time of Heaven and Earth: "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not come to an end until all these things have happened. Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away.") So "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God": you belong to God, and God wants you to "Live!", and we need to "worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, because those are the worshippers the Father seeks; God is Spirit and his worshippers must worship him in Spirit and Truth"; "the words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life." You belong to God, so pray as Jesus Christ taught us to pray, and then in his words we will be worshipping the Father in Spirit and Truth -- in Jesus Christ who is the Resurrection and the Life. "I have said all these things to you so that in me you will have Peace. In this world you will have trouble. But be brave: I have already overcome the world on your behalf!" Thank you, Jesus Christ, for handling this for me. While we can, while we exist, we must praise the Lord in Spirit and in Truth, both privately in prayer and justice, and publicly through joy in his words. -- "You Samaritans worship who you do not know, but we worship who we do know, because salvation is through the Jews. [...]" Those who do not know God (requisitely through Jesus Christ, God's Word) can only perceive morality within the context of their imaginations; how can they do any good if they do not know goodness? They can do much more good once they accept The Good One in their heart. Until then, those who do know God should instruct them gently -- and subtly, if necessary -- according to what God wants them to know at that time, and "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Do what God and Jesus Christ does: Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. That is, love, servitude, and Jesus Christ. To be trained by Jesus Christ results in becoming a servant as he came to serve and give his life as a ransom for many. Remember: "not by force or might, but by my Spirit." You cannot force someone to know God or Jesus Christ, but as Jesus Christ revealed God through his hard work of servitude directed by God, so we must become slaves to Jesus Christ through "working for the betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation," which is the definition of Justice, and use Kindness and faithfulness and trust in Jesus Christ who himself is Righteousness, and accepting him for ourselves in our hearts, minds, souls, and wills. Thus, we give to God what belongs to God: my self, my life, my will, my heart, my mind, my soul, my service, all of me just as I am. And I am because he is and desired me to be. We do all this through living. He is alive, he made us to live, and it is right to live for him because we only live according to his will, and "your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths." To have Jesus Christ, God's Living Word (the embodiment of God's words), Life, in you, is to be spiritually alive. To not have him in you is to be spiritually dead. When the body dies, as he said, those who are alive because of him will be raised to life, and those who are dead without him will be raised to be condemned because they did not believe in God's one and only Son. If you do good or evil, you are beholden to your works, but if you believe in Jesus Christ and repent of sinful behaviors, then he intercedes for you and becomes your Righteousness through your acceptance of him as God's Son. To be blessed means to be taught by God. "Man lives not on bread alone but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me I will never turn away, but I will raise them up during the Last Day, as my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son should have eternal life and will never perish but that I would raise them up during the Last Day." (Paraphrased.) -- Do you really want to live without understanding? That makes no sense at all! You would miss freedom, joy, peace, love, truth, legitimacy, integrity, faithfulness, comprehension, wisdom, meaning, righteousness, and there is no life without these things. "And this is eternal life: that they would know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." That understanding is eternal life, not chained to corporeality by death, but freed from slavery to sin by Life Himself to live both on Earth and beyond with Life Himself. Listen to Jesus Christ. Live on Earth while he lets you, then when he demands your life from you, live with him forever in person. Death is unnecessary, because God is of Life. Evil is unnecessary, because God is Good. God is all-knowing and is greater than all, and "my Father is always working, and I am also working." His Most Revered Spirit is our Wonderful Counselor. The Lord is my Trustworthy Shepherd, the Author of Freedom, the Love of my Life, Spiritual Teacher, Love Beyond Measure, Hallowed and Holy, Peace Everlasting... Life, Sanctity, and Joy... Listening and Holding, Faithful Forever, Desiring to Shield, Lamb For All, Unchanging, ... Understanding, Safe Haven for my Heart, Mind, Soul and Will, Lord God Almighty. He protects us. "No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." -- "Salvation begins as soon as you believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World, not when you die." -- Dr. David Jeremiah, July 3, 2016 Tomorrow, we in the United States recognize Independence Day. This date in 1776 was when those who came to this country declared their independence in writing as "one nation under God" and declared recognition of "inalienable" human rights that each human inherently was born to have as given by God. This country has had a violent history; there have been wars. Today (Sunday), Dr. David Jeremiah in his television broadcast of the church where he serves, he said: "Salvation begins as soon as you believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World, not when you die." -- Dr. David Jeremiah, July 3, 2016. I think that part of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection was to show the world that violence is no longer to be thought of as a resolution to conflict. If you think about it, violence only provokes more violent conflict. And the deception it causes is to make others think that it helps, whereas it only provokes more violence, and violence naturally is harmful rather than helpful. Consider what Jesus Christ declared: "Everyone who draws the sword will die by the sword." If you arouse violence, it will harm you most of all. So we must be gentle and genuinely considerate of each other. What is godly can only come from the only true God: "The righteous will live by faith." -- Dissatisfaction with other people is actually frustration with oneself. If you were satisfied with yourself, you would not think poorly of others either. It's a slight of heart and mind related to feelings of helplessness to alter a situation. You want others to be different, but you cannot make them different, so you are frustrated at your incapability to satisfy yourself in this way. It's that frustration that you feel, not actual anger at the person. A more peaceful approach to the issue is to consider the assertions and requests made by the person and ignore everything else unpleasant about them. People communicate as assertions and requests. Assertions and requests can be emic (implied) or etic (explicated). Emotion results from more than one assertion and/or request. Successful communication means recognizing these, welcoming them with kindness, and acting upon them. I don't think idolizing me will provide good results. There is one who seeks honor for himself, and he is the judge. Honoring him does provide good results. It's the good things he does that gains him praise. I might do good things, but because I do not always do good things, I should not receive such honor. It would be unsuitable for me. Does that make sense? Inconsistency of goodness translates to untrustworthiness. As I perceive the matter of Existence, all inside it changes while the holder of it does not change. Our perceptions and understandings change as we grow, and transformations (changes inside) occur. It is the situation with every living being in Existence, except for the one who manages and observes everything, containing Existence in himself in being. If you think about it, science cannot explain how reality is present; it can only point to dynamic perceptions of what is real. One must consider the container in order to know how things are contained within it. And the container is not physical, because all that is physical is dynamic. All that is physical has the potential to change. And Existence proves self-identity as absolute truth: "I am who I am" is a statement that is proven by existence. That is why God said that: "I am who I am". He was saying that his existence is self-evident by Existence itself, and that he speaks Absolute Truth like that statement, proven by Existence itself. And him being the ultimate means that his words have brought about and enable reality within Existence -- Absolute Truth within Existence -- and the revelation is that his living Son is this Absolute Truth, his presence within Existence that he holds within himself. This is what I have perceived. -- The best thing that a person can do is listen to Jesus Christ, because life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do which is anything. -- Faithless people are afraid. Oppressed people are afraid, but faith in God and Jesus Christ who alone is Trustworthy and who is the Shepherd gives them courage. Faithful people live in peace by laying down their lives to defend the weak and oppressed and inspiring the oppressive to cease their violent actions. People act violently because they are afraid, but a faithful person works against violence, because people of faith are people of Jesus Christ, God's Son. Prayer is powerful because God is gracious. The greatest power that people can show is prayer for their enemies. America is crippled only because it is violent. "Put your sword back in its place. For whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." (Matthew 26:52). "Whoever sheds the blood of man will by man his blood be shed, because God made man in his own image." (Genesis 9:6). God's payday is not always on Friday. But he is always working and desires to show us his love and safety. -- People are like me: I need to feel loved and to feel safe. It is so much easier to perceive God as loving when a person is loving towards me. I did something nice for someone today: I gave a young man $2 to pay for his water bottle. After that, he was smiling, and I hope God uses that to show him his love for him. Each of you is very valuable, more than I am able to understand; and I hope you perceive Jesus Christ as loving sometime in your life, so you feel the love and safety he wants to show you. God leads us through light and through darkness. But he is still leading us. (Matthew 4). "Man lives not on bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." -- If you will only let God guide you, Trusting in him to guide your Way, His Peace and Love will be shown through you, Kindness and Righteousness will stay. Jesus the Christ is who you need. He is God's Son, his words, do heed. If you will only let God guide you, Trusting in him to guide your ways, Mercy and Justice will he show you, Peace will be yours for all your days, Wisdom and Truth he'll teach to you, Enduring fruit you'll bear anew. If you will only let God guide you -- Jesus defends and comforts you -- Then you will have the Pride of knowing That God alone is good for you. Meditate on his words each day, Listen to him, he is the Way. -- Enough is Enough No more violence. Your house will be rubble, No more killing. Your body will die, God's way is better. Your deeds will all vanish, He is the only way. Your soul pass the sky. Just love each other. No one will remember Value the presence Whatever you did, Of each living person. As if you were nothing, Be gentle, humble, kind, Your very life hid. Merciful, loving, The wonders God showed you Forgive with compassion, Mean nothing to men. Refuse critical thoughts, The Earth will all perish, God really knows when. Accept Jesus as Right: The insults and hatred Ask him to be your You suffered therein Righteousness and Salvation. Were really so common Believe in him. They caused quite a din. Listen to him. Let God fight the fight. Let God handle it. Let God save your life. Let God sort them out. Let God do it all. Let God know all things. Trust just in his Might. Let God save the world. Let God be the Leader. Let God teach what's right. Let God be the Judge. Let God humble hearts. Let God be the Master. Let God help the needy. Let God be the Father. Let God feed the hungry. Let God be the King. Let God cure the sick. Let God be the Victor. Let God comfort the sad. Let God take the credit. You will be reduced. Let God have the glory. You will become nothing. -- "If you believe in a Creator God, you must also believe in a Sustainer God. God would not have created without also being able to sustain. Don't worry, but seek first the Kingdom of God: entrust your worries to him by pouring out your heart to him in prayer at his throne. Once you have entrusted your worries to God, don't reach in and take them back. Each day will have things that make us worry, so in order to keep them from piling up and overwhelming us, and to keep yesterday's sins or successes from halting us, he will forgive us if we ask Jesus for forgiveness, and we should live air-tight lives as one day at a time. Focus your concern on today, because God's Name is "I am," not "I was" or "I will be," and he is the Beginning and the End: 'With the first and the last of them, I am he; I am the First and the Last, The Beginning and The End. Do not worry.' In the midst of the storm, we need to look up and know that God is in the cockpit." -- Dr. David Jeremiah (paraphrased), July 17, 2016 Proverbs 5:21 For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths. "I do nothing without Reason." -- Though the body perishes, the soul may never die. May you love the Lord and live your lives accordingly. -- Make hugs, not anger. -- Forgive to gain your freedom. -- Child abuse. Terrorism. Television. Mass shootings. Contemporary persecutions. Molestation and rape of citizens. Bullying. Degeneration of the family unit. Devolution of society. Abductions. Lewd, vulgar, and immoral behavior. Blackmail. Greed and wickedness. Vile, evil things make this world a depressing place to live. Death tries to deceive by appearing as the only escape and solution. Anger against God ensues: "Why do you ignore me? Where is the God of Justice? Why is there no Righteousness?" "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord. "Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." Therefore, I tell you: call out to Jesus even if he is not listening; talk to him even if he is ignoring you, because every action is recorded. Do what is right even when you think God is not looking. Remember one thing he said, even when you cannot bear his words anymore. Do not commit adultery, so be legitimate. Do not kill, so save life. Do not steal, so give. Do not give false testimony, so be a person of truth. Honor your father and mother, so try to do nice things for them even if the attempts fail. Love your neighbor as if they were you. Hated, rejected, tortured I am. My life is miserable. To work against this, I must treat others in the opposite ways. -- I think that the standards of excellence required of college professors and students should carry over to their online activities, including Facebook posts. -- The Truth is a geyser. If you keep ignoring it, or if you disrespect it, it will explode and someone will get hurt. "Whoever believes in me, as it is written, streams (rivers?) of living water will flow from within them." -- If you do not find good things in one place, look somewhere else. Earth is God's footstool; there will always be an infinite potential for goodness. Where goodness is choked, Jesus Christ will remove its oppression. If goodness has not yet grown, Jesus is growing it. Only one is good; everything else is either of him or not of him. "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." "If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments, which you know: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.' Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me [...]" -- No amount of evil can ever result in anything good. Fighting will never produce a good result. -- It is time for us to listen to God. -- There is an unfathomably powerful being watching your every thought and move, and creating your future. It is foolish to anger him. But those insecure who want to be in control will be crushed on his footstool. -- Do not let harsh words become a point of contention and cause division. -- Be responsible with your words and actions so that you do not harm people. "Things that cause people to stumble will come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than for them to cause one of these little ones to sin. So watch yourselves. [...]" (Luke 17.) Do not judge or condemn a person, but instead show gentle kindness with wisdom and discipline for their justice. -- What will happen if you let computers raise your child? -- "No one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them..." This above all else is how I know that God loves me: he has enabled me to know Jesus Christ. "And this is eternal life: that they would know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "...and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "My Father loves you because you have believed in his only son, the one he sent." -- The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." -- Consider this: The problem with not mentioning God is that you lose all basis of justice. Justice has many levels and is served by love. A proper understanding of goodness must be founded upon knowledge of the only one who is absolutely good. Otherwise, you are building a foundation upon smoke -- nothing tangible but only words. You lose touch with reality when you don't recognize God. There is much more justice that needs to occur than what can be conveyed through an omission of -- an ignorance towards -- God. I want each person to improve, not just their behavior to improve. Knowledge of God results in an improved person; an improved person is much better in bringing about good things than a person who relies upon their own moral standards without improving themselves to improve their standards. What I'm saying here is that a person is limited in their ability to improve themselves, and it is only as far as their current moral standards. In order to improve themselves, and their moral standards, they must look to God who alone is Absolutely Good -- according to how much they can understand. That's the basis of my inclusion of mentioning God in the rules, because nobody is absolutely perfect. Not everyone believes in God, but that is not my decision to make for them. Each person must judge for themselves what is right. Public law is the legislation of a percentage of the public population's morality. But ultimately, each person is held accountable for their own decisions; so self-improvement is necessary because nobody is perfect. You are taught to be morally conscious so that you become smart through discipline. You must therefore assess for yourself what you should and should not be doing, and grow to learn good behaviors. That involves learning from the mistakes of other people. -- drink water, get rest, feel better, take it easy -- You do not contain existence in your brain. -- Instead of vulgarity, revise the vocabulary to be more descriptive of your intention. Unless you use descriptive vocabulary, you will confuse people. That's why there are a variety of words in the languages. If you swear, you cause stress for others. -- If you can find something good to do with your time, then go for it. But life isn't about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Obviously, that makes no sense to someone unless they already know God and what he does. And of course, someone who doesn't believe that God exists will have a problem understanding it. For those who say, "Miracles do not exist in my life," I think they do, but just the excessive sadness distracts from them. It is the same with me. "If God is real then why did he give me diabetes?" I have no knowledge of why, except for the idea that it was to help you grow into the person he wanted you to become: a person who understands suffering. It is your decision to do what you will with your own state of being. But the question, "If you are real, then why do you make decisions?" is not the question to ask. Just like everyone else, I am given a capacity and led upon my own path not according to my own will. I have a will also, but it does not determine my future. If you understand, you will see that nobody's own will determines their future. Each person is to be valued more than the value perceived of them. As you live, you learn humility. God is slow to anger and abounding in love. I make mistakes! And I make bad decisions. But if I make the decision to change, that is what will help me do better. When a person's life is recalled, that is when that person should die according to God. He does not delay, but is always working. Suicide is only you feeling like you should die. "If God is omnipotent can't he just do it right all right now?" Yes, and if you read Revelation 21, you see how he recreates a new order -- without death, mourning, crying or pain -- all at once. "I am going there to prepare a place for you," and "...the Kingdom prepared for you since the Creation of the World." "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and in all the places in the world." Jesus Christ teaches us beforehand what will happen, but we do not know what should happen or when it should happen. These are not man's plans, and cannot rationally be for us to know. He said, "I am who I am." That's a statement of absolute truth, as proven by Existence itself. If you cannot accept God, then you cannot accept with accurate knowledge reality itself. This is why atheists and agnostics tend to say, "I cannot know anything for certain," or "I do not really exist." (They contradict their very selves and therefore cannot stand: "Any kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.") Anyone can say, "I am who I am," because it's a statement of absolute truth. A statement of absolute truth is not false. Everyone who exists has a reason to understand "I am who I am" as the absolute truth proven by Existence. God is saying his words are Absolute Truth. Jesus Christ, as God's living mouth and hand, is God's Living Word, who said, "I am the way [to God], the truth [of God], and the life [with God]. Nobody can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father likewise. From know on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] The Father is in me, and I am in the Father. [...]" -- Consider this discussion: A: The fact is that you are a desperate person with a misserable life who gets hope out of believing a lie that if you act a certain way that you will live forever but in happiness and harmony. I would tell you to go and look for answers outside of your book, but I think you are too weak for that Me: I am weak. But the difference between us is that I accept that I am weak, and you think weakness is a curse. A: Yes, that is the only reason you believe in this *censored*. You are too weak for the truth Me: So you find cursedness where I find blessings. B: your weakness is clearly your stupidity A: I don't find cursedness, I find flaws, and one is supposed to improve themselves right? B: but its good you accept it Me: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." A: Improving yourself means fixing flaws B: o wait clearly you dont Me: Weakness is not a flaw. You think it is. A: Your logic is though Me: Weakness is a blessing. Because it is a counter to arrogance, and a path to understanding. That is why people suffer. They are taught their own weakness. B: haha A: You can be weak, but you don't have to be deluded Me: To be blessed means to be taught by God. B: lol C: lol D: lol Me: I am not deluded. In fact, I demonstrate individual consideration, just like you are trying to do. But because you discredit your own weakness, you struggle to understand. Because I accept weakness as a blessing, I grow. "What is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." -- I am created in the Father, alive in the Son, and compelled in the Holy Spirit; God is with me always. -- "We've come so far together," so we said. But then I felt the sting of growing dread. I cannot see through all this falling sand: Deja vu, Deja vu, my man. I suffered long and hard, it cast me down. I woke up longing for that heavenly crown. I cannot take this fate, please hold my hand. Deja vu, Deja vu, my man. So many wonderful things pass me by. My constant sorrow I cry to the sky. He turns my sorrow into falling rain. Deja vu, Deja vu, my man. My sorrow fades in mist, I feel God's Hands. He calls in clouds above, nearby He stands. Surrounds me with His rainbow, peace I AM. Au revoir, Au revoir, my man. -- Who's worshipping my savior? Who's worshipping my Lord? Who's giving thanks to Jesus, the one I adore? Who's talking to my savior? Who's praising the Lord? Tell them, "Thank you, I love you," and "Praise God forevermore!" -- God is the absolute truth. If you want to know the truth, you must first believe in the absolute truth, for that is the only foundation for truth, and that which will separate fact (common belief) from real truth. The Lord is gentle and kind. -- Hear O Israel! Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and will. -- I am Free because the God of Truth is in me! -- When you need help, call out to Jesus. He makes you well again. He does this because he loves you and glorifies his name. "I am," he says, "The Almighty One." Yes, God alone is good. Know Jesus Christ, God's only Son. Just he has understood. -- Be gentle like Jesus, Be humble like the Lord. Kindness and Compassion, Merciful his Word. His hand is salvation, His arm is Justice, His shoulder is omnipotence, His elbow is miracles, His neck is beyond all scope, His tongue is Truth, His eyes are living Purity, His face is holy, righteous kindness, He sits upon the throne at the Right Hand of God, The immaculate, the perfect, invincible, Almighty God Who alone is Good and is worthy of all glory With Jesus Christ his Son, our Lord, Master and Redeemer. -- "Listen to me, you who know what is right and cherish in your heart my instructions which give justice with discipline. Do not fear the disapproval cast by mankind and do not feel dismay when they insult. As moths eat a garment, and as worms eat wool, moths and worms will devour them. Dissimilarly, my Righteousness will last forever and my trustworthy Salvation will continue for every generation." (Isaiah 51:7-8). -- If you want other people to get along with you, you need to make changes to get along with them without compromising integrity. For instance: Person 1: "You all suck." You: "Then give us straws." The personal change there was that instead of responding with offense, you took the humble approach and a clever and useful response resulted. The implication of your response was useful because you were saying, "If you do not like something, work with it to improve it." -- "Let him sit alone in silence; the Lord has laid it upon him." -- Disappointing The Lord should remind you of his grace so that you would be forgiven and love him more as your Redeemer, your Righteousness and Salvation, but may you never cause God to be angry at you. There is only One, and God of Life holds your life in his Hand. God desires glory for himself, and he is the Judge, most Merciful, whose Love is Beyond Measure. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. He is Faithful Forever and is In Control. Keep Watch for the return of Jesus Christ the Redeemer on the clouds of Heaven exactly as he said he would return on the Last Day. He is the only Hope, and his body and blood has been offered to you to save your life, so that by spiritually eating and drinking his body and blood you will have him -- Life -- inside you. And then you will have crossed over from death to life, and Jesus Christ will raise you up on the Last Day to be with him in The Father's House forever. "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on Earth, where thieves break in and steal and where moth and rust destroy. Instead, store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, which will not be depleted or wear out, where thieves cannot break in and steal, and which moth and rust cannot destroy. Where your treasure is, there your heart also will be." -- It has been accused of me and in general of those who have beliefs similar to mine that I am intolerant because I have religious beliefs as a Christian -- that I believe that Jesus Christ is God's only Son who taught, lived, died, and rose back to life again in service of his Father to save the entire world once and for all. My response to these accusations is, "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself, so that whoever would believe in him would not be condemned but have eternal life through him." His Righteousness is proven by all his words and actions and all the research that could be placed into investigation of what he said and did. In other words, he is real and true, and nothing can change the results of his Justice for the World. There simply is no logical reason to argue or accuse what has been argued and accused against him. But arguments against him come from those who cannot understand and who simply refuse to listen because their hearts and minds are closed; otherwise, they would repent of wrongdoing and learn from him to gain eternal life, and their lives would be drastically forever changed as having permanently crossed over from real death and sorrow and tumult to real life and joy and peace. "And this is eternal life: that they would know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent. I am the way, the truth, and the life; no being can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does, but otherwise, know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it for you. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. For the Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself, so that whoever would believe in him would not perish or be condemned to punishment, but have eternal life through him." As for those who refuse to understand and who argue constantly, "There is no peace for the wicked," and "Leave them. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." These are my final words on this matter, and that I simply do not care what insults and accusations and arguments these mad people give to me, because "I do not seek glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." And to all the non-believers: Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens. "For judgment I have come into this world, that the blind would see and those who see would become blind." "What? Are we teachers of the law blind too?" they asked him. He replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." -- Do not be litigious or vindictive. "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; do not think evil of each other." "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." "Man does not live upon bread alone, but also upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God." When you have internal conflict, think positively with optimism: have hope in Jesus Christ's Name, God Saves. "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/why_are_you_afraid.mp3 -- I have a sword. This is my sword: "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it, and to give his life as a ransom for many. The work that God requires is to believe in the one God sent. I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me, and this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all he has given to me, but raise them up at the Last Day. For whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have Eternal Life, and I will raise them up at the Last Day." (paraphrased, concatenated, from various passages Jesus Christ said.) He gives me real Peace because I believe in him. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." -- God made everything Including us all His Majesty came And took on the fall. He made us to live To know him and see He laid down his life To save you and me. Love one another Your neighbor in need Kindness he taught us In word and in deed. Justice he gave us In service to God Cleaning and saving With staff and with rod. Just listen to him And do what he taught Then you will be well And your soul be bought. The storms will be calm. Just trust in his Might. His Son will be here His blood won the fight. Use kindness and love His Grace gives you Peace Treat others as you And fighting will cease. "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice." -- Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near, and believe in the Good News. Repent of evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery and lust, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander and libel, arrogance, and folly. Believe the Good News: that God sent his only Son into the world to clean it with his words, to heal the sick and raise the dead, to cast out unclean spirits and wickedness by the finger of God and bring God's Kingdom through the Holy Spirit, and to save the world by laying down his life and taking it up again from the grave at God's command, so that whoever listens to him and believes the one who sent him will live because of him. Take Jesus Christ's yoke upon yourself and learn from him -- "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -- "You are those who seek honor for yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." God knows your heart. Do not be afraid of the judgements and accusations of mortal men. "My Father will honor the one who serves me." "Do not work for food that spoils, but instead work for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him the Father has placed his seal of approval." "This is my Son, who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" They asked him, "What do we need to do in order to do the work that God requires of us?" Jesus replied, "The work of God is to believe in the one God sent." What is value? Real value as practical and tangible has nothing to do with men's interests, but logic and reason and what God explained proves that God's interests are valuable. Life is not about what people do, can do, or want, but about what God does, can do, and wants. Place your interests with God because only God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Ask Jesus Christ to be your Righteousness and Salvation and he will bless you. You are so worried about your life, your lifestyle, and your possessions! Why not listen to Jesus Christ instead, so that your Father, who is greater than all, will love you as his possession, and so that you know how God alone is Good and Jesus Christ is his Son in flesh and blood who God gave to you as food and drink for your soul? God holds in his hand your life and all your ways. "I am the Lord, God of Heaven and Earth. Is anything too difficult for me?" "He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." "Why do you call me good? No one is Good except God alone. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "Every living soul belongs to me." "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "Why should you die? Should you not instead repent and live? For I do not delight in the death of anyone." "I saw you in your infancy, abandoned and still covered in blood. I took you and washed you and wrapped you in swaddling cloths, and I commanded you: 'Live!' Where no one wanted you, even though I made you and every living soul belongs to me, I instead took care of you myself." "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." "[But I tell you who hear me, love your enemies...] God is merciful to the grateful and the ungrateful, to the righteous and the wicked. Be merciful like your Heavenly Father is merciful." -- Jesus Christ's salvation is definitive. He places himself between his sheep and death and sin. The great quality of Jesus Christ's Salvation makes it worth waiting for, because when Jesus Christ saves, he gives Justice to such an extent and quality that it is as if nothing bad ever happened. Certainly, life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. -- Jesus Christ, I love you. "If you love me, you will obey my commands." What are God's commands? "Do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, do not steal, do not kill, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself." -- The only role and responsibility of the United States federal government is to serve the United States by supporting and enforcing laws of their union, protecting their people internationally inside and outside the borders of the union, and developing peaceful and cooperative international relations between the states and foreign countries. Laws of the union include federal taxes or other fundraisers for the development and maintenance of inter-state and national programs passed into federal law by Congress, and also include the proper management of the national currency, include other national constitution articles and amendments which respect the relationships between states of the union, include details of the state-legalized management of the protection of national citizens when inside and outside the borders of the union (when such protection is officially requested by the citizen, or when that citizen needs immediate defense or rescue from harm), and finally, any law with the purpose to mediate inter-state relations or develop and maintain foreign relations. All other roles and responsibilities belong to the states of the union and the citizens of those states. The federal government's only focus should be on the welfare of the union relationships between the states, on peaceful and cooperative foreign relations, and on the safety of the citizens of the United States. "God alone is Good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." -- Weapons of Temptation "Whoever sins is a slave to sin." "Sin is crouching at your door and wants to have you, but you must master it." How do we overcome temptation? Ask Jesus Christ to handle it for you, and then recognize the weapons evil is using against you: Enticement: "If you do this, it will please you." Response: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made pure in weakness." Then, the Lord's Prayer, because God already understands what you need: "Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come and your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please, please, give us this day our daily bread and please, please, forgive us our sins and forgive for us, and please lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." Go in prayer in your heart before Jesus Christ and ask him to handle this for you. He will do it because he said, "whatever you ask in my name [God Saves] I will do; you may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it for you. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf, but rather the Father will love you because you believe in his only Son." "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false. Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is true because I know where I come from and where I am going; my Father testifies about me but you do not know him and have not heard his voice because you do not accept the one he sent; even if I do judge, my judgments are correct because I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." So we must not seek to please ourselves but God, and Jesus Christ's grace is sufficient for us. And the hammer of discipline will fall. Torment: A gut-churning suffering along with "If you do this, it will cease your suffering." Response: Pray to Jesus Christ and God: "Jesus Christ, I am vulnerable, please help me." "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy." "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation." And the hammer of discipline will fall. Regret and Speculation: "You will regret it if you do not do this." Response: "Immanuel, into your hands I commit my spirit." "Jesus, please handle this for me." "Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no'. Anything else comes from the evil one." Yes or no and let it be so! I said 'no'! God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. And the hammer of discipline will fall. Hindsight Speculation: "What if I did that, I might have been satisfied..." Response: There is no place for "what if" in existence! NO! I said NO! Yes or no and let it be so. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. And the door will close between you and temptation, and you will be safe in faithfulness to God. Remember that our faithfulness to God is fragile, but Righteousness came into the world and saved us through teaching, cleaning and making those who believe in him cross over from deathly sin to eternal life with the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent. Let us be legitimate and do what he says so that each of us -- "the soul that sins is the soul that will die" -- builds our house upon solid rock (doing what Jesus Christ said to do) rather than sand (not doing what Jesus Christ said to do) because every person will face storms and the result will either be a house that is still standing or rubble. Do not be hypocritical like the half of the Kingdom of Heaven upon whom the owner will close the door, as described in the parable of the 10 virgins. Keep Jesus Christ's words with you as oil to persevere. "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough that the servant is like his master [...] so do not be afraid; everything hidden will be disclosed." Our love for Jesus and God is not reliable, but "if you love me, you will obey my Commands; whoever loves me will obey my Commands, and whoever does not love me will not obey my Commands" so it is enough for us to love God by obeying his commands -- "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will," means therefore obey the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. But we are flawed. "No one is Good except God alone." "I the Lord do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." Bring yourself before Jesus Christ in prayer -- give to God what belongs to him -- "every living soul belongs to me" -- and he will heal you, because "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me," and "I am a Jealous God." (Jealousy means desiring what belongs to you, whereas envy, which is an evil, means desiring what does not belong to you.) But Jesus Christ's grace / salvation / mercy is sufficient for us, and the Lord takes care of his own, wherever they may be. Furthermore, God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- No one saves except God alone. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." "Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the Lord that both good things and calamities come? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" Jesus means "God Saves". Jesus Christ is God's Living Salvation for the world, "so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." "My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. For them I have sanctified myself, so they would be truly sanctified." -- Have we so easily forgotten who is in control? There is only what is, and what does happen. Existence does not contain what might or what could, potential or what is not, but only what does exist and what does happen. If you want to avoid folly and worry all at once, remember that God is in control and trust God and Jesus Christ alone. Fear is only your imagination; there is no such thing as danger, but only fear and fate and weakness. There is only one strength; everything else is relative weakness. What happens will happen regardless of whether you are afraid that it will happen, or you recognize that it happens. If you do not want something to happen, pray asking God in Jesus Christ's name which is God's Salvation. If you want something to happen, pray asking God in Jesus Christ's name which is God's Salvation. Stop forgetting who is in control. Keep Jesus Christ's words in your heart and mind, and let God sort it all out; we were not created to control, but to live, and the meaning of life is to obey God, and life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. Jesus Christ is The Way to God, The Truth from God's Mouth, and The Life with God. No one can come to the Father except through him. No one saves except him; nothing happens unless the Lord first decrees it. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. God is the only one who is Absolutely Good; and this and knowledge of this is wonderful, and acknowledgement of God as the only one who is Good is good (of God). God seeks glory for himself, and he is the judge. We need to have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests. "...For I know the plans that I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days, I will listen when you pray, and you will find me when you seek me if you look for me in earnest." (Jeremiah 29:11-13). To those who did not believe in him, Jesus said, "I am going away, and you will look for me but you will not find me, and where I am going you cannot follow; but you will die in your sin. If you do not believe I am who I claim to be, you truly will die in your sin." To his disciples, Jesus said, "Just as I told the Jews, so I am telling you: I am leaving and where I am going you cannot come. You cannot follow me where I am going now, but later you will follow [I am preparing a place for you in my Father's house, where there are many rooms, and I will take you there to be with me where I am]." (paraphrased, concatenated). "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life [in him]." "Then, you will understand that you are in me and I am in you, and you will ask in my Name." [...] -- Be careful with your vocabulary. Words such as "good", "make", and "trust" are misused. God is the only one who is "Good" with a capital "G" to indicate absoluteness: absolutely Good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. God makes, and people play in the sandbox. God, like a parent instructing little kids who are playing in a sandbox before him, tells us not to hurt each other. Be careful and play nicely, because the sandbox is temporary; you will not always be playing in it. "You have only one Father and he is in Heaven, and you have only one Teacher: the Christ. You are all brothers. The greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever wants to be great among you will be like the least, like a servant. [...]" Real Justice and Peace are what Jesus Christ gives: Jesus Christ is God's Justice (real Justice) and Jesus Christ's Peace is what he gave us: "[...] My peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." We have real Peace in being saved and sanctified by Jesus Christ, the Truth. We must build our houses upon rock and God will take care of us even during fearful and troubling situations. "Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid: trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go there to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there to be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. [...] I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] Don't you recognize me [person's name], even after I have been among you such a long time? [...] Believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. [...]" -- "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise." -- Thanksgiving: A time to thank God for not changing. "I, the Lord, do not change. [...]" "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his mercy endures forever." (Psalm 136). -- Doors that open wide close hard. -- Feeling betrayed, hopeless, unable to trust, and unsafe? Does God not listen to your pleas? Do the actions of wicked, cruel, beings make you lose faith in God's Sovereignty? Do you wish that God would repay the wicked for their evil deeds or turn their hearts to him instead? Do you feel abandoned? Does God not care that we are weak? Does the Almighty let the weak perish and roll his eyes or store up his anger for some later day of wrath while letting all his flock be slain by wolves? Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our only hope. "In his Name the nations will put their hope;" his Name is God Saves. "There is no Savior besides me," the Lord has said. But does God really save in times of calamity? Sometimes, especially in times of difficulty, he does not let us see him. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." God wants us to bring our hearts before him when we struggle -- he wants us to always be in a state of full disclosure to him and walk with him throughout all time, because he has work that he wants us to perceive with him in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ in each of us. We will perceive the work he desires to show us when he desires to show it to us. We know that we are not trustworthy and not worth his time or consideration. We know that only God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. We know that all we are will perish in weakness but that God's Living Word, Jesus Christ, has given us eternal life by having his eternal words within us and by believing in him, even though our minds and bodies will return to dust. His work, his art, is Salvation, and he said: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Do not be afraid. Trust in God and also trust in me. In my Father's house there are many rooms..." and "In this world you will have trouble. But have courage, because I have overcome the world." He also said, "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me, so go make disciples of all nations..." and "My Father is always working, and I am also working." He continues his work, Salvation, and even though we do not perceive our requests met all the time, he will do what we ask him even though we do not deserve it, because "I the Lord do not change." He does this for his Name's sake, that all nations would know that God Saves, and that he is Jesus Christ God's Son who is hidden at God's Right Hand in Heaven and who will be revealed in the flesh to be seen and heard by all on The Last Day like lightning on the clouds of Heaven. When in dispair and desperation, trust God and put your faith in God. When you fail to do that, keep watch for his return. When you fail to do that, rely upon God. When you fail to do that, you have seen your weakness, so remember that God is Almighty. When all this fails, even knowledge that God is God, when your own mind, body and heart have betrayed you to death, who will you trust? You will not be able to think clearly or even think at all! You will lose all hope and faith will seem like a distant memory. In torture, your mind will be numb and your body unresponsive. God does not change, but does God care? "The eyes of the Lord are upon the sinful kingdom." Nothing is hidden from his sight. Would men invoke God's Wrath through killing and abusing his own? Such will happen, and in extreme folly they will not fear his retribution. Remember these things as long as you can: God alone is Good, God does not change, and God is God. The state of the matter is that God knows our weakness: "Well do I know your suffering," and "You were like a stick snatched from the fire." We cannot trust ourselves, our weakness is obvious to all. Do not look towards the day of retribution, but let God handle everything, because even though we will think he does not love us, he is the only one who is Good, he is the only one who is Trustworthy and Unchanging, and he is the only Strength. In our failure, let us call out to him as, "Strength, save me." The Lord takes care of his own, and will never fail among our failures. He is absolutely determined and will never change. He is God of the Living, not the Dead, and "as surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue confess," declares the Sovereign Lord, the God of Life. Before we were born did he save, and after we die on the Earth will he continue to save. We are here but a moment to pay him our lifetimes for his Majesty and serve his Glory. And we will, whether we want to or not. Only God and his only Son fathoms and understands and perceives his Majesty. Do not fear weakness, but fear The Almighty Strength. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, and I give them eternal life, and no one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." No one can remove me from God's Hand. Whatever special I have here, Whatever is about to give me a moment of rest, The person standing next to me will snatch out of my hand and claim it was theirs. This is not my home. "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, But that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the Truth. Your Word is Truth. For them, I have sanctified myself, So that they may be truly sanctified." -- God in his Wisdom created languages at the Tower of Babel. Read about it in Genesis 11:1-9. It was just after The Flood which God used to destroy all life on the entire planet due to mankind becoming evil, when Noah's descendants spread out over the world again. < [...]From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood. Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel [that is, Babylon; Babel sounds like the Hebrew for "confused"] -- because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. > That is just before The Lord told Abraham to "leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you[...]and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." By this, he was referring to "Salvation comes from the Jews", which Jesus Christ later said related to this plan and himself. There is some context for you to gain wisdom about what should and should not be done. The language barrier exists as a barrier to prevent the world from becoming entirely corrupted by evil, because men's hearts store up both good and evil and "the good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart; for out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." The language barrier is an act of compassion and God made it so that through it we would value compassion and learn to "love your neighbor as yourself." He made it also so that we would consider others; "surely, if I sent them a man of a foreign language, they would listen," and "only in his own hometown and among his own people is a prophet without honor." So while we become complacent and casual and careless with our native languages, we have to pay further consideration to non-native language speakers by novelty and translation. The Internet was developed within the United States by Americans, and we have shared this technology with the world. The Internet is a privileged and expensive technology which should not be abused, and yet communications nowadays are rife with drivel and wickedness. I would not be surprised if a desolation occurs as a result of what man has done with the Internet, the "Communication Highway". There is no blatant evil committed by [company name] as far as I can see (the Commandments are "do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself"), but you must understand that developing technologies like we have done in the United States of America is a touchy thing; I have said that I refuse to do anything that could be used as it is to suit an evil agenda. Jesus Christ alluded to our need to be careful by informing us "I tell you that on the day of judgment, men will be held accountable for every careless word they have spoken," "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions," and several other times told us to be careful and "watch yourselves" so that we do not cause our brother / neighbor / another person to sin, lest it be "better for you to be tied by the neck to a millstone and thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones who believe in me to sin; so watch yourselves." In ancient times, God said to Cain, "Sin is crouching at your doorstep and desires to have you, but you must master it." But humankind is a failure, which is why we were given Jesus Christ and all that he said and did and continues to say and do at God's right side in Heaven. There is some perspective about our state and eternal weakness. "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." So the righteous will live by faith in The Lord our Righteousness who is no longer here but is with us always and forever. So we remain here and keep his words so that we do not cause such harm and desolations as have been caused in the past merely a short moment ago to ourselves and others. This is the only way to improve. I expect rational statements in the wake of understanding this context of the state of affairs. As God said to Moses in response to apprehension toward public speaking, "Who invented the tongue and gave man language to speak?" A multitude of native languages is God's invention as a loving, fascinating, and effective intervention against worldwide unity. Do not let the Internet be used to work against that. Effective communications are feasible without resorting to using English as a base language. And I say that even though my heart is with the English language, as I have written extensively in God's favor using it. -- Move. You must move to improve. -- Do not judge; God has given Jesus Christ authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. No other being has the right to look harshly at another. We must learn to be kind and compassionate towards each other so that we can work for justice -- help each other according to what Jesus Christ taught as "love your enemies" and "love your neighbor as yourself", etc. "You judge by human standards. I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgments are correct, because I seek not to please myself but to please him who sent me." "This is the will of him who sent me: that I should not lose any of all he has given to me but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the Last Day." "I tell you the truth: whoever hears what I say and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned." "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." "I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and I have not come to call the righteous but to call sinners to repentance." "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself; I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life." [Verses truncated and concatenated.] -- Five Steps to Eternal Life: "And this is Eternal Life: to know you, the only True God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." (Jesus praying to the Father, paraphrased from John 17:3). 1. Read Jesus Christ's words as written in the Gospel books of the Holy Bible translated into your native language. 2. As you are reading, carefully consider what Jesus Christ said. The more you consider, the more you will learn. The understanding will carry you throughout your lifetime and the learning process continues throughout your lifetime as The Living God teaches you through Jesus Christ's words through the Holy Spirit. "The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life, but there are some among you who do not believe. That is why I said that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them and I will raise them up during the Last Day." 3. Judge for yourself whether Jesus Christ spoke the Truth from God or whether he spoke on his own to gain honor for himself: "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." Consider carefully for yourself if Jesus Christ's words are wise and true. If you perceive them as wise and true, then continue reading and learning from what he said. Once you have done this over a period thorough to your knowing that everything he says is true, continue to the next step. 4. When you have understood well enough what Jesus Christ said so that you recognize it as wise, true, and valuable, and understood enough of what he said to prove to you that everything he says is true, then believe that what he says and does comes from God: "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But even if you do not believe me, then if I am doing what my Father does, believe on account of the miracles which testify on my behalf so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." (rephrased from John 10:37-38). 5. "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. [The definition of disciple is a student or follower.] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free [from slavery to sin and death]." (John 8:31-32). "I am the way [to God], the truth [absolute truth from God's mouth], and the life [eternal life with God]. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father [(also? as well?)]. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...]the Father is in me and I am in the Father." (circa John 14). "Whoever listens to my words, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life and will not perish; I will raise them up during the Last Day." "Why do you call me 'Lord' but do not do what I say? Whoever hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who dug deeply and built his house with its foundation upon rock. The rain came down and the streams rose and winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it was well-built with its foundation upon rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house upon sand. The rain came down and the streams rose and winds blew and beat against that house and it fell with a large crash and was completely destroyed." (Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 6:46-49). "Why do you ask me what is good? No one is good except God alone. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments. [...] Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself." "Repent and believe the Good News!" [The Good News is that God sent his son Jesus Christ into the world to teach and save those who would listen to him and believe God's Words through him; Jesus Christ saved the world through laying down his life and interceding on behalf of all those who God draws to himself through him (that is all those who would believe in him), suffering greatly, dying on the cross, and rising back to life so that whoever would believe in him will not be condemned by God or perish but will have eternal life because they have believed in God's one and only Son. Whoever believes in him has eternal life and will never see death because Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life and they have accepted him as God's Living Mercy for themselves.] "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." Then you can "go in Peace": "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace." "I give to you my Peace. I am not giving to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" (circa John 14-16). The real Peace we have from Jesus Christ is knowledge of God and Jesus Christ and knowing that we are acceptable to God and Jesus Christ because we have obeyed him by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting his words." We have eternal life and can be at peace in our heart because of what God and Jesus Christ has done by his great Mercy and Compassion because he loves us. -- The wicked will accept anything except for Jesus Christ. I will accept nothing except Jesus Christ. -- Competition is cruel and wicked. It is not gentle and humble in heart like Jesus Christ, whose yoke is easy and burden is light. Competition divides its slave against his brother, rather than doing what Jesus Christ and God has said: Justice. We must have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests, otherwise our house will collapse and the One who desires glory for himself and is the judge will humble our proud hearts. -- Christmas: The Christian holy day held on December 25th annually celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into the world as "the Son of Man", which took place around 0 A.D.. Giving is celebrated on Christmas because God gave his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who was with him in Heaven, to be born as the Son of Man so that everyone who would listen to him and believe in him would gain eternal life: knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent. You are not giving the proper presents. When you give presents, who are you really pleasing? How should anyone have a happy holy day when the only true God is not happy with what we have done? Will we ignore Jesus Christ in our hearts throughout the year and expect God to be pleased with us? Will we desire the downfall of our neighbor and expect God to bless us? If these and the rest of the things you do are only done to please yourselves, how can you do anything right? "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself; but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." But to make things easy for you: you already know what God wants. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice, for the Son of Man did not come to condemn the world but to save it through himself, to call not the righteous, but the wicked to repentance." "Do not boast of wisdom, strength, or riches, but whoever boasts should boast that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, because I delight in these things." That is how to celebrate Christmas. The right present to give is a change in attitude to please The Sovereign Lord who alone is absolutely Good. Micah Chapter 6 Listen to what the Lord says: "Stand up, plead my case before the mountains; let the hills hear what you have to say. 2 "Hear, you mountains, the Lord's accusation; listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people; he is lodging a charge against Israel. 3 "My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me. 4 I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam. 5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord." 6 With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly [obediently] with your God. Should we give each other thousands of dollars for Christmas? Should we offer sales to bring shoppers into our stores to buy and use our products throughout the year? Isn't this all in service to our own pleasure? What should we give to celebrate the birth of God's only Son who saved the entire world once and for all, to clean and serve and save from death and condemnation? The most appropriate present would be to share what the Lord has said. At least do something very selfless that would please the Sovereign Lord who alone is absolutely Good. We do not have a time limit of Christmas Day to devise and enact this present: there is still time to change. Humble yourselves and accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and your Salvation. -- God loves you. -- This French company, Ankama, develops a computer game called Dofus. They have a rendition of Christmas that they call Kwismas, and their "present" to players for logging into the game this year was an advertisement of another one of their games where you play as a pagan god. I explained how I thought this type of present insulting and inappropriate as a Christmas present, and stated in my own words what Christmas was. Here was the response of a moderator: December 25, 2016, 03:50:29 Hello, You have been warned in the past about religious postings and proselytizing, as you have a long history of doing so both in public spaces on the official forum and via Ankabox. You are very much aware at this point in time that religious discussions have no place on our forum, yet in spite of this you have continued to post religious messages of varying length and fervor since starting to do so circa 2013. Your post in the "Happy Holidays" thread has gone too far in this end. All of the inappropriateness of your postings aside, you should be very much aware at this point that such postings do not receive a universally positive response from other members of the community. Indeed, each time you post in this manner, we receive numerous reports from players that take severe issue with the fact that you are twisting everything back to your religious beliefs, rather than utilizing the facts involved in the discussion at hand to express your viewpoints. Numerous members of the community have expressed varying levels of discomfort in public and private at your religious postings. It is not fair to display your faith in such a way that you make the people around you feel so uncomfortable. In light of the warnings you've received over the years from members of Ankama's staff and moderation team regarding this issue, and your refusal to follow our guidance, I am banning your account from posting on the forum for 14 days. Though this is technically a first forum sanction, it is not without any sort of buildup. Continuing to engage in such polarizing behavior will not be tolerated as lightly as it may have been in years past. If you continue to disrespect Ankama's staff members and moderation team, you will receive further sanctions to your account. Sincerely, [MOD]Fiora I responded with the following. Dear Ankama Studios: This is religious persecution. This may be tolerated in France, but it is distinctly a violation of basic human rights in my country. Stating what Christmas is in my own words and explaining how offering players an advertisement for another game at the exclusive pleasure of Ankama is not an appropriate present for Christmas is my opinion, and just like others are entitled to their opinions, punishment for expressing my opinions is a violation of freedom of speech. Today is Christmas. Ankama says "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Kwismas" in their public web sites. Is banning me part of wishing me Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas? Ankama is willing to defend its own position in terms of using these phrases to the proclaimed "distaste" of these pagan players you mentioned, so why am I lynched by Ankama when I explain in my own words what Christmas is on the forum on Christmas Eve? I have spent many thousands of dollars on Dofus over my 10-year history of playing this game. I have subscribed dozens of accounts. Ankama makes an incredible amount of money from me. I am dissatisfied as a customer for how I am being treated here. The moderator Fiora has done what they should not have done. I have an event that I have been hosting on the forum, a most generous event, and this ban from using the forum will upset many players and seriously hinder the proceedings of the event which has been received with delight and enthusiasm by everyone. This ban is not just harming me, but Ankama's reputation and all those other players who are participating in my event. I am sad to say that I will no longer be paying Ankama any money because I have faced this religious persecution at the hands of a moderator. Alas, I am no stranger to religious persecution, but it remains a violation of International Human Rights. Ankama has committed a felony in this regard; to call it anything less is downplaying this abuse with excuses against my rights as a human being. Because I am a legal adult and law enforcement will simply tell me to stop playing this game and disassociate myself with Ankama, that is what I must do in order to protect myself from further harm and abuse. I will no longer play or engage in Ankama games. I have already published on the Internet this letter I received via Ankabox, and I will further tell people how Ankama employees have treated this loyal customer. I am sorry to say that this has irreversibly tarnished the reputation of Dofus and Ankama, a game I have enjoyed playing and company whose services I have enjoyed using for many years. Sincerely, Mr. Afterwards, I responded to Fiora and other forum moderators with the following. Fiora: I know you do not care or understand now, because you still think you are in the right about what you have done to me, but your transgression is forgiven. You are forgiven, but Ankama has still lost a customer as a result of your actions towards me. I can see you do not respect Christmas, so instead I say to you Happy New Year. Sincerely, Mr. A few days later, after some people asked me about this, I put the details in a text file: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ankama.txt -- "Oh unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me." Our hearts are flawed, and our actions are precipitous and unfaithful. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. God alone is absolutely Good, and God is willing to help us because he loves us and "well do I know your suffering." "You were called a rebel from birth." We need Jesus Christ; we need to ask Jesus Christ for help and bring our hearts before him, trusting in God's Jealousy and that he knows and understands. He has shown and said that he is willing and able to help. May Jesus Christ's name be praised forever. All Praise to the one and only Jesus Christ, the one and only Savior of the World, most loving, most kind, most compassionate, most wonderful, Righteousness and Salvation from God who alone is Good, and through him all Praise to Our Heavenly Father who is unseen and who Jesus Christ has revealed and continues to make known. -- Jesus Christ is the only safehaven for a heart, mind, soul and will. We cannot go to him where he is now, but we will follow later, and he will be revealed to everyone on The Last Day. He is with us now, guiding us through His Spirit of Truth, the Counselor, who only speaks to us what Jesus Christ says as God's Living Mouth and Hand and Son. Jesus Christ will never abandon you, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- "When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another." -- Hark the Herald Trumpets Sing, by Chip Davis. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/hark_the_herald_trumpets_sing.mp3 Praise to the Lord Jesus Christ and serve him, Worship God alone and serve just him. Worship Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, Hallelujah! Praise Jesus the King, from Heaven above, Praise God! God loves us all, God Saves is Life! Praise the Lord Jesus, God's Jealousy, Hallel, Praise God, Praise him, Hallel, Praise God! Jesus, Savior, Mercy, Glory, Honor, Loving, Praise to the Lamb! Hallel Yahweh! He gives himself, testifying to the Truth as God's Own Son. "All Praise to Jesus!" Praise him. Jesus Christ has come from God! Hallelujah, all praise the Lord. Life from the Lamb, the Savior Reigns!

The need to always be right 4. Dwelling on the past 5. Resistance to change 6. Negative self-talk 7. Limiting beliefs 8. Blaming others 9. Complaining" My response: The buddhists have an easy time marketing their religion because people in the market are looking to feel good about themselves. Real happiness is Jesus Christ's Peace. 1. The need for approval is natural because we are creatures created by God who seeks glory for himself because that is right. He holds every life in his hand and his approval should mean everything to each living being. 2. Same thing as #1. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." 3. Buddhists do not know God, so how can they say anything right while God is the only one who is absolutely Good? The desire to be right is the difference between a righteous soul and a wicked soul. 4. Dwell on the past to learn and gain wisdom for the future. But a feel-good religion cares nothing for wisdom or improvement. 5. "Change" is a pedantic exhortation of the blind, of those who refuse to repent and change their own behaviors. 6. Self-criticism is like discipline. "God disciplines those he loves as a Father disciplines the child in whom he delights." 7. You limit beliefs when you discover the truth. Christopher Stefanick has spoken extensively about this regarding the intellectual cancer of the 19th and 20th centuries called Relativism. 8. "Do not point the finger." This is the only correct item in the entire list. 9. If you complain in the right way and to the right being, that is more powerful than a world looking for change. "Who can speak and have it happen unless the Lord has first decreed it?" -- "Blessed are you when people hate you, insult you, mock you, exclude you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven, because in the same way their ancestors treated the prophets." (Luke 6:22-23). "A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will treat you this way because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this earlier because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me..." (John 16:2-5). "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does evil hates the light and refuses to go near it because they fear that their sins will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." (John 3:19). "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." (John 7:18). "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues or at the temple where all the people were gathered. I was not speaking in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said." (John 18:20-21). "[...] I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish--the very works that I am doing--testify that the Father has sent me. [...] I do not accept human praise [approval, glory]. But I know you do not have love for God in your hearts. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in their own name, you will accept them. No wonder you can't believe! For you gladly honor each other and seek praise from people, but you don't care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God. But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" (John 5:36-47). (It's a long passage -- read from the start of John chapter 5 for proper context.) -- The greatest wisdom was given by God in this statement, "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" The greatest wisdom is to listen to Jesus Christ who is God's Son. There is only one Jesus Christ, and he remains at God's Right Hand in Heaven; Jesus Christ cited that David said, "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.'" The Sovereign Lord said, "As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." God has sworn by himself with logic and Righteousness. But he has told us to simply let our "yes" be "yes" and our "no" be "no", because anything else such as swearing for us comes from the evil one; to swear or promise, anything besides simply holding to our word with effort to do what we said we would do, is based in falsehood and deception and harm rather than in truth and honesty and justice. "Many will come in my name claiming to be the Christ, saying, 'I am he', and will deceive many." Many people will claim to be Jesus Christ in order to deceive many people. But there is only one Jesus Christ, and he is in Heaven where we cannot yet go and where he is hidden from the world. Keep watch for his return on the clouds of the sky on the Last Day. Observe and wait for the day of his return as he described that day would be. Everyone will see him at once and know, among the fear of the upheaval of the planet and the moon and the stars and the sun, that The Redeemer approaches. "Keep watch." -- "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." Since life is about what God does and not about what people do, what should I be doing? Obey the Ten Commandments, learn from Jesus Christ and take his yoke upon yourself (that means do what he instructs, like you would do as a doctor instructs when you are ill), and share his words of justice and encouragement with those who believe in him. Jesus Christ continues teaching us through his most revered Holy Spirit, our Counselor. Treat people with love and kindness even when they hate you and make themselves your enemies without reason. They will not listen, but Jesus Christ is the Teacher and God has plans for Justice, which Jesus Christ has led to victory. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. So serve the real Justice of Jesus Christ who is the one and only Savior by learning from him and holding to his commands. Then you will have his legitimate Peace -- Salvation by remaining in him and keeping his words in yourself. God is merciful, so be merciful: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Let God teach what is right. "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me I will never turn away because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but instead to do the will of the one who sent me: that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but raise them up on the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the Last Day." (I probably paraphrased that.) I testify that Jesus Christ is who he says he is and that all he has said and done is Truth given to us by God. Whoever wants to know the Truth should listen to him and give serious, genuine, consideration to what he says and determine for themselves whether he speaks on his own or whether he serves God. He explained all this! Do not commit cruel, deceitful, and wicked slights against your fellow man, but just listen to Jesus Christ because it is so obvious that he is telling the truth with great wisdom given by God rather than how others speak using flawed claims of men's hearts and minds. The buddhists exhort wisdom, but if they would learn wisdom from Jesus Christ who is the Living Mouth of God, they would repent and live with genuine wisdom and life and know the Truth and be set free from slavery to sin. Both the righteous and the wicked must learn about Jesus Christ; all will kneel before him and confess to him during the Last Day, the day he Judges all. "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgement to the Son, [as he says later, "because he is the Son of Man"], so that all may honor the Son in the same way that they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out -- those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true. You sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. I myself do not accept human testimony, but I am saying these things so that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish -- the very works that I am doing -- testify that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that they give you eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. I do not accept approval from human beings. But I know that you do not have love for God within your hearts. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" (John 5:19-47). "Unless you repent, you will also perish," Jesus told his disciples. (Luke 13:3). Jesus Christ came after John the Baptist, proclaiming what he did: "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near." God saves through repentance (choosing to obey God and to not sin anymore -- to sin means to intentionally disobey God, so repentance means choosing to obey God rather than disobey God) and forgiveness of sins -- through our acceptance of God's Word, Jesus Christ, in our heart, mind, soul and will. We failed to accept his Word (his Commandments of Life) before, so God sent his Word in the flesh to gather us to himself for safety from Death and destruction by sin. Basically, God was right and we were wrong to disobey him, but instead of us dying from this, God gave up Life Himself to teach us and bring us back to himself and then to die at the hands of sinners (Life died at the hands of death and evil sin) and then to rise back into the flesh and return to God our Father in Heaven, so that we who accept God's words from him and believe in him will not die in the flesh and spirit but rise to life -- because Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life, the Way to God, the Absolute Truth of God's Mouth, and Life with God. "The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life. But some of you do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." Do you understand? Because of what Jesus Christ said and did at God's command, those who accept him as Truth and obey what he taught (believe in him) can live with him and God forever, rather than face punishment for wrongdoing. Now it is in the Spirit with God in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ in us, and on the Last Day it will also be in the flesh with him. But if we do not remain in him and we do not accept his words as guidance presently, we will dry up like a branch that does not remain on the vine, and we will be cast into fiery torment in punishment, just like what happens to non-believers and the wicked who refuse to accept his Authority. Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation and do not rely upon yourself. "The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household! So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both the body and the soul in hell [Jesus is referring to God as the Judge who exclusively has the Authority and Power to do this (and to himself also as he explained)]. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's will. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. If anyone acknowledges me before people, I will acknowledge them before my Father in heaven. If anyone denies me before people I, too, will deny them before my Father in heaven." (Matthew 10:24-33). So do not feel embarrassed to speak about God and Jesus Christ. It is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ, the King of Glory to God's Praise. "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace [consensus] to the earth. I did not come to bring peace [consensus], but a sword [division through real Justice for the soul as faithfulness and obedience to God]. For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law-- a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is my disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward." (Matthew 10:32-42). In short, accept Jesus Christ because you know who he is and what he has said and done and therefore know with certainty that he is God's Son, the Messiah (the one anointed by God to save the world through himself, beginning with the Jews). -- It is only ever lawful to save life, not destroy it. Human life is most valuable among the creatures on the Earth. -- "The true worshippers must worship God in Spirit and in Truth; God is Spirit and he desires those worshippers." (heavily paraphrased) "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." So worship God through Jesus Christ who is God's Word (Spirit) and the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth [he is God's Living Mouth]. God is the God of Truth, the only true God, the only God who actually exists. God holds existence within himself. Giving to God what belongs to him means accepting Jesus Christ. In order to do that, you must first listen to him. That means obtaining knowledge of his words -- reading them or having them read to you and learning from him. -- Numerology, believing that numbers have meaning, is bad. -- I entertained thoughts of going back in time to see Jesus Christ on the Earth, and then I was reminded what he said to Mary when he rose back to life and spoke to her outside his tomb: "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet returned to the Father. Go and tell my brothers that I said, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" (John 20:17). -- Christianity is about the meaning of life -- the purpose of a person's very existence. It is an education to the question of "why?" Every religion has a reason, a purpose, and a goal of comprehension and personal improvement. Christianity is recognizing the state of weakness of all creation and having the one within us who is willing to help every person. It is the recognition of self weakness that brings a person away from arrogance and self-reliance and trusting and believing in yourself, to knowing and trusting and having one who is actually absolutely trustworthy but unseen. Believing in the one who is unseen is not really a personal choice, but only those who are enabled by him to understand and know him are drawn to him and knowledge of him. It is a narrow path and a small doorway that only a few enter. Many seek and desire understanding and eternal life, but only a few actually find it -- and the only power we have in this situation is to be willing to learn from him. So really, even if you know and understand God already, there is no reason to be offended by someone explaining him and inviting you to learn about him. But the complaint @002 was talking about was that of those who rely upon themselves to help others rather than relying upon God to do what he said he would do. So don't fall into the habit of loving praise from others and caring nothing about reality. Even inviting a person into a conversation about God and Life is of minimal value, because as Jesus Christ said, "You have only one teacher: the Christ." Each person must listen and learn from him for themselves before they can understand enough to come to believe in him. And when they do believe in him, their lives take on additional hardship -- "Everyone who wants to live a godly life will be persecuted." So as for attractiveness, Christianity is less attractive than a religion whose result is making yourself feel good about yourself. But real understanding is priceless. "They will all be taught by God." That is the purpose: to be taught by God, to know God, to have God with you throughout your time on Earth, and for this to be eternal life given to you by God. But this is a hardship, although wonderful, and people as weak need constant reinforcement and encouragement, most of which is provided by God through his Holy Spirit reminding us of Jesus Christ's words and being the Counselor for us. It is not an attractive religion or belief, but many have understood and learned from God. Many more have not belonged to God and have not wanted to be ruled by his compassion. But he has the final say and holds every life and path in his hands. Has this clarified the purpose? "My kingdom is not of this world. [...] For this reason I was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." God is not visible, and you do not know what he has said and done, so aren't you mistaken by saying he does not exist? What hope do you have if you repeat the mistakes of others throughout your lifetime? Without guidance, each one of us is going to fail. And even with guidance, we make mistakes, but the joy is having one who is flawless to help us because he loves us because we have accepted his education. We do not need to be God, but to be gods -- creatures who are "of God". That can only happen by learning from God's Mouth and Hand. No amount of lifetime experience will give us this understanding; it is instead education. Bottom line is "I cannot help myself" ultimately God is Spirit, and his words are also Spirit and Truth. It is not of men's imagination, but we can understand what he teaches us. Misbelief is misunderstanding. Jesus Christ said, "You Samaritans worship who you do not know. We worship who we do know, because Salvation is through the Jews." God chose to save the Jewish nation from slavery by bringing them out of Egypt. There is a long history of God's interaction with saving and helping those people. It is possible for us to understand that everything God says and does is right and even for our ultimate benefit, because like he says, "...I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, because I delight in these things." The wars and violence come from men's hearts, and God says, "I do not delight in the death of anyone." His goal is for us to live, and "I have come so that they may have life, and have it to the fullest." Knowing God is an increase in suffering but among a persistent Peace. I'm just answering your questions. Replying *wink* There is no reason to not have the answer to a question! Sometimes the answers are given quickly, and other times they take a while to be given. Anyway, it is enjoyable to talk about things that we know. -- I know that I am not popular, nor appreciated by most people, when I describe Christianity. A man was given knowledge of great wisdom and power and was told to share it. But no one wanted it. He cannot keep it nor return it. What should he do? If the man tries to sell it so that men might value it by their own different standards, that would not be freely sharing it as he freely was given it. If he does not give it, but lets it alone, the one who gave it to him will reject him and take it away from him. He cannot have children to instruct because no wife would remain with him or accept him. He cannot instruct others' children because their parents would hate him. No one would or could suitably befriend him, and no one was willing to listen or respect him. In anger, he hid his knowledge of great wisdom and power in parables and allegories, then scattered these throughout the Earth, so that only those who were blessed with the keys of comprehension could understand what was said and obtain the great wisdom and power hidden therein. Most of you won't listen to me anyway. But everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. -- Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. All the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

He who has ears, let him hear.

To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: "We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn."

Wisdom is proved right by her actions.

I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.

If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?

Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. How can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Make a tree good and its fruit will be good or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.

A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign. But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? These sitting here around me are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.

A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no room. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop -- a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.

Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and said, "Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?" "An enemy did this," he replied. The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them up?" He answered, "No, because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn."

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, when it grows it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.

The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 20 liters of flour until it worked all through the dough.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.

Listen and understand. What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth is what makes him unclean.

Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.

It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs.

Be careful: be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Jesus said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Whoever wants to save his life/soul will lose it, but whoever loses his life/soul for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.

From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes -- from their own sons or from others?

If your hand, or foot, or eye causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed, crippled, or with one eye, than to be thrown intact into eternal fire.

What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.

The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him millions of dollars was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. The servant fell on his knees before him. He begged, "Be patient with me and I will pay back everything." The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a few dollars. He grabbed him and began to choke him. He demanded, "Pay back what you owe me!" His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, "Be patient with me and I will pay you back." But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. Then the master called the servant in and said to him, "You wicked servant, I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?" In anger, his master turned him over tot he jailers to be tortured, until he payed back all he owed. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.

What God has joined together, let man not separate.

It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. With man, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them out into his vineyard. About the third hour, he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, "You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right." So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour, he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, "You have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?" They answered, "Because no one has hired us." He said to them, "You also go and work in my vineyard." When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, "Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first." The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner, "These men who were hired last worked only one hour and  you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day." But he answered one of them, "Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave  you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?" So the last will be first and the first will be last.

Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?

You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them and call themselves benefactors. Not so with you; instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave -- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, "Son, go and work today in the vineyard." He answered, "I will not." But later, he changed his mind and went. Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, "I will, sir," but he did not go. Which of the two did what his father wanted?

There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine-press in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. Last of all, he sent his son to them. "They will respect my son," he said. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance." So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants? Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes."? Therefore, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.

The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. Then he sent some more servants and said, "Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet." But they paid no attention and went off -- one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, "The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find." So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked him, "Friend, how did  you get in here without wedding clothes?" The man was speechless. Then the king told his attendants, "Tie him hand and foot and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." For many are invited, but few are chosen.

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Which is greater: the offering, or the altar that makes the offering sacred?

You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside will also be clean. You are like whitewashed tombs which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. Look, your house is left to you desolate. -- It is only after the wheat has sprouted, grown, and formed a head, that the weeds grow and choke it. When there are too many weeds for the wheat to grow, the seedling is removed from the soil, the soil is cleared and tilled, and the seedling is transplanted into an area of the best soil for it to thrive. -- Their Response: If someone has knowledge he could, you know, share it with everyone for free? xD just like great scientists like albert einstein and newton did and great philosophers from the ancient greece and also the popes "But everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ." I find this insulting to atheists and people from other religions My Response: It is extremely insulting to anyone who does not listen to Jesus Christ. And yet no insult is given. Does this surprise you? A blind person will feel extremely insulted if someone describes to them what they see. Yet the person who sees is not insulting the blind person. A poor person will feel extremely insulted if a stranger comes along and offers to give them some money. Yet the generous person is not insulting the poor person. An arrogant elitist will feel extremely insulted if someone says something intelligent to them. Yet the person who said something intelligent did not insult the arrogant know-it-all. In fact, you can do the most decent thing for someone and they can turn around and be insulted by anything or for no reason at all, but in situations where no insult was actually given, the person feeling insulted will probably not recognize why they are feeling insulted -- and the reason why is arrogance. Arrogance is the implied assertion that a person makes stating that they are more important than someone else. It is very close to envy. Also folly. Because when you are trying to make yourself look important, you have abandoned truth. "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself. But whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." Integrity is brought by humbleness rather than desiring to inflate oneself in the eyes of others. Tell someone who is arrogant that Jesus Christ is more important than they are, and they will be insulted rather than gain wisdom and understanding and humility, because arrogance prevents understanding. But the person who says that Jesus Christ is more important than themselves are has exhibited humbleness and recognition for understanding and wisdom. Arrogant people are insecure and wish to control others because they are ruled by fear. What I have done is shared wisdom and understanding rather than sought to control you. Insecure people are very easy to spot -- they prey on others and use manipulation and exhibit exclusively worldly values -- the same values as Satan (the accuser), and the same values that are detestable to God, because they destroy lives rather than do good. The deceitfulness of wealth, the desire for luxury and other things that distract from the pursuit of integrity... and all the evil things that come out of men's hearts: evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. What Jesus Christ has said and done clean. No one else has done or can do what he did. Everything else is mere fluff and mostly foofaraw. The only reason I am telling you this is because I understand it. "We speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen with our own eyes, and yet still you people do not believe." So you see, I have shared knowledge with everyone for free, and yet no one wants it, as usual. The person with knowledge of great wisdom and power is the prophets and Jesus Christ and all those other people who belong to Jesus Christ. God is the only strength. Everything else is relative weakness. Anyone who is arrogant will be insulted with everything I have said, but really the reason for their feeling insulted is because they have not solved their arrogance yet. In order to gain understanding of reality and truth, one must first be willing to humble themselves in the sight of the God of Creation and Existence and Truth. To understand what actually happened, and a rational judgment of it, would require more than a cursory glance. I explained already. If you want to investigate the arguments about it, scroll up. You see what you do not want to read. So if you do not want to investigate the arguments about it, don't scroll up. -- Now is the age of cruel and arrogant men, but their actions will fall upon themselves and they will suffer ten times what they inflict. God shows Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, and Jealousy; he desires what belongs to him. When humans do not give to God what belongs to him, they will be disciplined. And those who refuse to listen will be forcefully removed from the Earth. "The eyes of the Lord are on the sinful kingdom." The prophets were like medicine applied to the sick, but the sick rejected treatment. Jesus Christ came and healed and saved, but again the sick rejected him but clung to evil instead. So it is with everyone who rejects Jesus Christ today: they are sick and they need him, but they instead reject him, and the result is their condemnation and death. After all, if a sick man rejects the only medicine that can cure him, he has accepted his own demise. But this is spiritual death, and the spirit suffers unfathomably greater pain than the brain can interpret from the nervous system. This corporeal world is a symbolic lesson that the rejection of God is evil. -- Them: Did you really think that "You're a pirate" from "lazy town" was demonic? if so, it never got into the evil thing of pirates, it only showed the adventurous and romanticized part of piracy Me: That was my assessment. I can give several reasons why the video is bad, and no reasons why the video is good. That alone is reason enough to not share it. It is essentially a children's video programming that advocates piracy and wild living. Them: the song is fun = good Me: But the presentation is what I perceive as demonic, whereas the other video was not, even though the lyrics were the same. Have you heard of radical Islam or terrorist cells? Have you heard anything about brainwashing or teaching little children to do evil instead of good? These people couch evil in fun and call it good merely because it has been couched in a layer of pleasant sugar-coating. That is the rationale of relativism: if it feels good to me, it must be good for everyone else. That is the argument of Mussolini, a famous fascist dictator who helped instigate a world war. "I like it, and I have the guns, so I'm gonna make everyone else like it too, because that's my right. And you cannot stop me." "Everything I have done these past few years is relativism," he said. "You are a pirate, I am a pirate, and it's all right with me, because that is how to live 'free'!" or whatever similar exclamation is given in the video. In other words, it makes a false doctrine look fun to little kids. Them: true but putting pirates as good guys in children shows has been done for ages Me: Little kids who are extremely impressionable and who do not know any better. Them: so this is no different Me: [To answer someone else (B):] the video goes beyond satire and into the realm of evil. Them: also, I'm not sure how the episode ended because the enemy of the show is the pirate Them (B): Ok I see Me: Well, yeah, I mean even in context, it's a bad idea to show such things to little children. Them: so maybe in the end it all comes together and it's shown that it's bad to be a pirate so first they show how the protagonists live their life the way they want and after that you'll see that it's wrong I'm not sure but maybe the episode went that way Me: Well we all know well enough that what was said in that video was wrong. Anyway, this venue is intended for discussing a different subject, so maybe move on from this topic? Them (B): Ok Them: I just find it a bit radical to ban a video like that, especially because there aren't (m)any children in this chat and that that video was an internet joke Me: It might be humorous if Relativism were not such a serious pandemic today. Them (B): What's relativism? Me: google Chris Stefanick Relativism Them (B): Hmm I see Me: There is a serious intellectual war going on, and The Internet has become a hotbed for it. Unlike the Internet, relativism is not easy to avoid. Relativism is infecting culture and society, and has been doing so since early 1900's at least. As I mentioned, Mussolini believed in it. You know, the Mussolini-Hitler fascism and world wars. If there is another world war, it won't be from religion, but from relativism -- again. Religion would just, again, be blamed as a scapegoat by the dishonest hoping to work their agendas into the dogmas of society. That is what happens today. So the world is very close to having another world war. And to make matters worse this time, good is being called evil and evil is being called good. So no, that video was not funny to me. Them (B): Point proven Me: [To person B:] are you deleting your messages? Children are out of control, and society is going mad. Talk to a schoolteacher and you'll have plenty of anecdotes about madness. Media cannot help themselves but to monger insanity. They think war is profit. At some point, someone has to be rational and good and instruct children with discipline. Them: connecting world war with a children's show is a bit of a far stretch though :') Me: the link is relativism; if you do some research about it, you will see what I mean. "God disciplines those he loves as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." And parents refuse to discipline their children -- who then grow up to drive cars and have other social responsibilities as adults. Without discipline for good behavior, there can be no society. Them: true but to be honest if I think about children and pirates I see an semi-innocent child dream just sailing on the see as terrifying men as they're it supports creativity to live in such a fantasy world for one afternoon or multiple after each other and I don't think that it will permanently corrupt their minds I even think that the creativity will have a positive feedback on their future I'm pretty sure that I've had the same fantasies as a child and as far as of now I've grown up quite well just as my friends with the same amount of creativity of course, grown up quite well is based on opinion strictly christian, no, but we weren't religious so speaking of what the society would see as "grown up quite well", then yes Me: I mentioned an intellectual war. But, "There is no more battle, just listen to him; his commandments are solid, trust just in his might." We have the answers and the guidance. We just need the constitution and the faith to promote what is good over what is evil. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation. It is not violent, but calm. It is rational and decent and compassionate but also righteous -- holding to the truth and knowledge of God. Jesus Christ came into the world as the embodiment of Righteousness. The "Good News" is that faith in him is acceptable to God and through that we are taught repentance and forgiven of our sins... rather than needing to face punishment for our intentional wrongdoing. The world has a difficult time rationalizing Justice, because it cannot understand forgiveness because it does not listen to what God has said through his Son. He redefined what needed to be redefined. "Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness more than light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does evil will not step into the light out of fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." This is why the Devil is dishonest and has no truth in him, and why lying is his native language and he is the father of lies. Anyone who is dishonest before God in their heart subscribes to that action and remains a slave to sin. [A person who left]'s persistent sarcasm, even to the point of denial, I hope does not become this kind of problem for him, or if it is already, that he is brought out of it by legitimate honesty. How can any of us improve if we avoid legitimate honesty before God in our hearts? Real Justice is available to everyone, and it condones the proper placement of trust. I have said all these things in the hope of bringing real Justice to each person in this community. Unfortunately, many do not have the upbringing of wisdom to accept what is good in advance of tragic events. The tragic events happen to each of us in life, but only by having a solid foundation for your house will it remain standing after the storm. All forms of entertainment and creativity are secondary to reality. Besides, God takes care of his own. "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these other things you need will also be given to you." "Apart from me, you can do nothing." I am not being judgmental or condescending, but advocating that each person of discernment remains boldly faithful to goodness to the best of their ability. Mine includes the knowledge that God alone is absolutely Good. -- Are you my friend? I have no friends. I perceive spirit. If anyone would be my friend, they must comprehend "My kingdom is not of this world." God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. "Do not be afraid of them. As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. Everything hidden will be disclosed. Every secret will be made known." It is right to believe in Jesus Christ. I have no neighbor to support my faith. If this is what you want to do for me, then you will be my friend. -- Do you think that God does not take care of you? Are you angry when someone steals something from you? Is it difficult for you to be generous? "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." The Earth and everything done in this Universe -- all that you experience, see, hear, and observe, all these things will pass away because they are not God. God alone is pure Goodness -- the Creator and Definer and Exemplifier of pure Goodness, because that is what God chooses to do and God chooses to not change. Because God does not change, Existence can be. God is the constant, everything else is dynamic before him. God is purity and Jesus Christ is the Source of Purity to God. Jesus Christ is Righteousness. Accept Jesus Christ and all that he has taught, and you can then accept him as your Righteousness and Salvation. Keep his words in you and remain in him and he will remain in you. But if you do not remain in his love, you will be like a dead branch that is removed and thrown into the fire. Jesus Christ forgives and will forgive all the sins and blasphemies of mankind; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, both in this age and the next age. -- The Lord has blessed me. He has allowed me to give him pleasure. He has formed a relationship with me through my Lord, his Son. You do not need to be like anyone else. You only need to please God. How? Listen to Jesus Christ his Son. But Jesus Christ is not on the Earth anymore. So to listen to him, you must ask those who heard him -- read his words recorded in the Holy Bible! -- Are you having trouble with sexual relations? Are you feeling desperate for a loving marital relationship? "Flesh gives birth to flesh, and spirit gives birth to spirit. The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life, but there are some of you who do not believe. That is why I said that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "My Kingdom is not of this world." God is unseen; God is Spirit. "I am praying for those who believe in me. I have given them your word and the world has hated them. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you remove them from the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the Truth; your word is Truth. For them I have sanctified myself, that they also may be truly sanctified." (quote from memory lacks other statements; paraphrased.) "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and [everything else you need] will be given to you." So if and when God wants you to be married, it will be good (of God who alone is Absolutely Good) if you do this what he has said and learn from God. But do not put your faith in mankind, because the interests of men are selfish, fickle and flawed. You must commit your spirit into Jesus Christ's hands. Trust that God will take care of you throughout your lifetime; if you do good to other people, you will please the Lord; if you do evil to other people or neglect them, you will displease the Lord. The Lord holds in his hand your life and all your paths. Listen to Jesus Christ! "Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Whoever asks receives; whoever seeks, finds; to those who knock, the door is opened." But doors that open wide close hard. Knock now while the door is unlocked. Do it now, because once the master of the household gets up and closes the door, you will be left outside screaming. "Nothing can go into a person and make them unclean. Instead, what comes out of a man makes him unclean. Out of men's hearts come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside a man and make him unclean; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean." (paraphrased.) -- This is victory. Jesus Christ came down from Heaven, was born and lived as the Son of Man, took upon himself all the physical, emotional, and spiritual problems among his lost people, taught the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven so that whoever would learn from him would have eternal life which is knowledge of Jesus Christ and God, drove Satan out of the world, gave himself as Purity, the Lamb of God, in atonement for all the sins of mankind, so that whoever would believe in him and put their faith in him would be kept safe from death now and forever, rose back up from the tomb, declared his students as his family in Freedom, gave us his Most Revered Holy Spirit as our Counselor who speaks only what he hears from Jesus Christ, remained with his disciples a little while longer, then returned to Heaven to sit victorious with great glory on his throne as King of all Creation at the Right Hand of God our Father. This is victory! All the world benefits because the Enemy, the deceiving accuser, has been driven out by the Finger of God and Jesus Christ is drawing all people to himself to gain eternal life through knowledge and faith in him. Listen to him! -- Why do you look for scraps when you have your own food? Why do you study letters of apostles when you have Jesus' words? "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." "The hired hand is not the shepherd who cares for the sheep." "There will be one flock and one shepherd." -- In President Donald Trump's inauguration speech today, he mentioned eradicating Islamic terrorism. "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." "My Kingdom is not of this world." "Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My Righteousness will never end. My Salvation will endure for all generations." "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." In order to support the removal of Islamic terrorism, we must understand that God is drawing all people to himself through Jesus Christ his Son the Savior of the World. There is no oppression that can serve Justice. We must trust God and work as people who have already been handed Victory by Jesus Christ the Author of Life. God teaches each person according to his will. Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says. In order to really set a good example for the world, we must work for real Justice: betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Terrorists likely require forceful apprehension and pacification, but we must not harm or kill if we truly want to serve, obey, trust, and believe in God. "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" Let God teach what is right before he punishes his enemies on the Last Day. Men will continue to be confused as long as God confuses them, and can only learn what God has enabled them to understand. Remember that God is in control and he will show us how to defend our neighbors against oppression without causing oppression ourselves, and he has already taught us how to live as neighbors. God takes care of his own people, so if we are to be like God -- if we are to be gods -- we must do what he does and do what we can to take care of those around us. We must desire the improvement both of our friends and our enemies, just like God provides for both his friends and his enemies. He is the judge and our part is not to extract vengeance but to obey his Commands and look after each other with kindness, justice and righteousness, because he delights in these things. We do not want them to bomb us, so we must not bomb them. Love your neighbor as if they were you. Be a neighbor to everyone around you. Donald Trump said, "January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again." Mark 10:42-52 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means "son of Timaeus"), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. When the people around him were rebuking him and oppressing him, Jesus told those people to bring that man to him. This was justice both for them and for the blind man. We must be stewards and support bringing people to know Jesus Christ and God; he is drawing all men to himself. Would God be pleased with us and consider it a good deed to kill our enemies while he has laid plans for them to instead come to know him? We would instead be serving evil. "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other." Many are blind and many are foolish, but our role as gods is still to point to Jesus Christ. "Oh unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you and how long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." (Matthew 17:17). -- AppleCare: Your 60-year-old mother hurts her wrist. She says to you, "I hurt my wrist and I need you to take me to the doctor." So you call the doctor's office, this specialist in hand and wrist injuries, and explain that your 60-year-old mother hurt her wrist and she needs to see the doctor. They say they are booked until 3:30 PM tomorrow, so you schedule an appointment for then. You ask if you need to bring anything with you, and you tell them that you heard that there is a free service that might help because sprained wrists are apparently a common problem among younger people your age. They say that they are not certain if it is a sprained wrist so they cannot advise upon whether that service would apply. When you ask, they say that if you bring in your mother, diagnosis of the problem will be free. So you wait until tomorrow and you drive your mother 100 miles to the specialist's office whose representative you spoke with on the phone. You walk your mother in, you sit down, and you tell the secretary you had an appointment for 3:30 PM. They have to fit you in because you arrived about 20 minutes late. So you wait about 10 minutes and the doctor calls your mother in. You explain the situation to the doctor, and they say, "Come with me back to the examination room." So you bring your mother to the examination room. You say, "My mother is 60 years old and she hurt her wrist. We suspect it is sprained." The doctor says, "I cannot help you because your mother is too old. I am not even allowed to touch your mother at all, because I might hurt her and then you could say that I hurt her." You then ask him if he can simply diagnose the problem and he says, "I am not allowed to take a look at your mother because she is too old; I cannot help you. We don't even carry the right equipment for someone her age. You will have to go to a local pharmacy and buy a sprain bandage and cast and take care of the problem yourself, or ask the pharmacy to take care of your mother's wrist. They might have all the required materials, but if they don't, then there's nothing I can say -- you're out of luck. If you want, I can find a pharmacy local to you." You tell him to do that, so he looks and the nearest pharmacy is 300 miles away. You tell your mother that it's the same old story and you both leave the doctor's office. On the drive home, you say to her, "Their representative could have told me they don't support 60-year-olds so we wouldn't have had to drive out all this way for nothing." So my mother and I learned today that Apple discontinues all support for products that they have not sold for 5 years. We had a nice long trip to the Apple Store, though. -- God keeps his Word. None of us deserves salvation, but he gives it freely and graciously and he is pleased to do so. Trust his salvation. Do you think I am a good person? I have researched and understood his words. Am I a good person? I have accepted Jesus Christ's salvation, and he sustains me forever. Whether I am good or bad, the one who is Absolutely Good has had me listen to him and understand and then accept him; he has cleaned me with his words so that now I am free and truly alive. -- Group people how you like, but don't think evil of them based upon your chosen grouping. Only God knows a person's heart. I am unemployed. How does that make me evil or a "filthy, lowlife pig"? Judge a person based upon what they say and do as an individual human being, not upon their employment status. Speak kindly and not in anger and you will gain humility and respect. Many have argued this concept: You have to give respect in order to receive it. My response: "If you love those who love you, what are you doing more than others; what reward will you get? Do not even the tax collectors and pagans do that? But love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, and you will be sons of your Father because he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked." If you respect those who respect you, what does that gain you? You are not doing anything different than anyone else; no progress is made. -- Do you want to be part of something bigger than yourself, to be engaged in a matter of great importance? Jesus Christ is more important than I am. Kindness, Decency, Humility, Compassion, Justice, Righteousness, Faith in Jesus Christ, and so many other desires of God are -- each one of them -- far more substantial and important than I ever will be. Everything that pleases God is much more important and valid than myself, because I am merely a bystander and aspirer given knowledge and brief experiences to witness what God wants me to see. Why does he do this? I have no ability to help God because he needs no help and I am weak. It is not even my place to know the times and dates the Father has set by his own authority. My existence and role is so insignificant and yet he keeps me away from foofaraw. His desires and all these things that please him are from above, and I am from below. I have no place in this world, nor do I belong with him. The only clear evidence I have right now is that my role is to suffer, which leads me to wonder why I am so guilty. I am subjected to a rollercoaster ride of harshness, and my only conclusion is that this waterboarding he does to me is what will make me into a creature that pleases him and is therefore good for me and is my portion of justice. Then again, what do I know? My role is obviously to watch and not to claim facts. I am not even given any certainty besides the scraps he chooses to give me as a result of my nagging and begging and his purposes. Why should I claim what has been given to me? It is not mine, and it is not the property of anyone else to whom I would speak. I am insignificant, a mere distant echo of God's word from the deepest darkness. A driving surge of power of Truth and Justice from the deep darkness within me he brings forth with his Hand. He brings it from my heart and he guides it for my mind and it becomes my agenda. May Jesus Christ's and God's Name be praised forever. I am nothing, but because God is everything, that should be enough for me; maybe this means that I can be content and so perhaps this blemish has found his place acceptable. Gethsemane demonstrated yet again, and it still is demonstrated to us repeatedly each day, that people are complete failures. We are a complete failure as a race, as Creatures. Yet if we accept Jesus Christ as our Righteousness, that is enough for God. -- I tried to sign up as a writer for a Christian advice web site. My application was denied because I didn't want to claim status as "born again": - Sunday, January 22, 2017 5:44 PM , We have received your application to become one of our volunteer writers. Thank you for your interest in serving with GotQuestions.org! In the application form you submitted, you did not select the box indicating that you are born again. If you are uncertain what that means, please see https://www.gotquestions.org/born-again.html. If you left this unselected by mistake, please resubmit your application. If you left it unselected intentionally, we cannot accept your application. Again, thank you for your interest in serving with us. Sincerely in Christ, The Staff at GotQuestions.org Gwen S Associate Editor, Got Questions Ministries www.GotQuestions.org - This was my reply: - Sunday, January 22, 2017 7:37 PM To Whom It May Concern: I am 30 years old. I was raised to serve God and learn from Jesus Christ. I have taken initiative to do so without prompting from others. I was baptized in both Catholic and Methodist churches and have participated in a variety of denominational services during my life. I have suffered insults and a variety of persecution throughout my lifetime. Jesus Christ has fed me and taken care of me since before I left my mother's womb. I have what is sufficient for Jesus Christ, who said, "they will all be taught by God." If what I have is not sufficient for you, even while it is sufficient for Jesus Christ, then I cannot be participating with your organization. If I am acceptable to God but not to your organization, then the flaw is with your organization and not with God. I do not accept any label. Jesus Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world." I have learned from Jesus Christ and only after I was certain of everything did I accept the label of Christian to describe myself. Those of my esteemed college professors who have conversed with me have called me "a genius" and "the real deal". God has placed in my heart a single desire: for Jesus Christ's name to be praised forever. I have shared perhaps about 50 pages already on my web site here -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ . If you feel that I must subscribe to the term "born again" -- even though I know exactly what Jesus Christ was saying when he said that in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven one must be born of water and Spirit -- then I regret that the great wisdom and words that the Holy Spirit gives to me will remain with me, and my peace will return to me without resting upon your establishment. I am arguing that asserting rebirth for oneself is meaningless, and as inappropriate as swearing. It should be enough to determine what kind of person I am based upon the fruit that I bear, which is plainly visible on the web site I have shared with you. I applied because I am taught by God and I have experience sharing wisdom despite persecution. I set out to share with others the joy and perseverance of what I have learned from Jesus Christ, and in every case, I have been insulted, ridiculed, mocked, ignored, and otherwise persecuted -- just like Jesus Christ and the prophets were, as he said. If you do not want to listen to me, similarly to the rest of the world, then I will move on and leave you alone. "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it." My home is not here, so go ahead and ignore me if you like, allowing the excuse of my not subscribing to the label "born again" to block you from everything God has taught me. "Many are called, but few are chosen." I have been chosen to serve the Truth; if you listen to him, you will also listen to me. Sincerely, , CREDO ---- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens - I also sent another reply: - Sunday, January 22, 2017, 11:02 PM To Whom It May Concern: This is not complicated, but very simple. Jesus Christ is all I have. If this is not enough for you, goodbye. And spare me the hollow, pedantic circumlocutions of foofaraw and doctored respect. Sincerely, ---- Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens - I received no response. -- Have faith in God -- know that God will help you -- when harm strikes. Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from God's will. Your hairs are all numbered. -- Relativism is the belief that you have the right to do whatever you want to do. It is the debasement to cruel evil. It is undisciplined and unclean. It causes great harm and destruction. "God alone is Good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." Who cares what I want? God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. If you have faith in God, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer; "believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." "I will give you anything you ask for in my name." "Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." Jesus Christ did nothing wrong, yet men retaliated against him. Jesus Christ gave himself and saved the world, and men hated him and killed him because of it. Those who belong to God share wisdom from God and knowledge of great Power and goodness, so that men will become gods ("of God"), and men insult them, retaliate, and kill them, still without reason. A relativist government is legislated anarchy and evil and cruelty and destroys itself and harms its neighbors. Stop relying on common morality and start relying upon God's Commandments! Are you so blind that my words are unclear to you? Obey what God said: "Do not kill, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not commit adultery, honor your father and mother, and lover your neighbor as if they were you. Do not be angry with, or think evil of, another person, but be a neighbor for, and do good to, everyone around you. Treat everyone how you want to be treated. Be careful so that you do not cause harm with your words and actions. Exercise and maintain Kindness, Justice (working for the betterment of everyone in a particular situation), and Righteousness (Jesus Christ, faithfulness to God), because God does this on Earth because he delights in these things. Therefore, do not boast of men's values, but only that you know God who does these things." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Evil comes from the hearts of mankind. Therefore, put your faith in God and Jesus Christ, or be dragged down by evil. In order to put your faith in him, you must first know him by his words and actions -- through Jesus Christ's recorded words and actions. "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does." "The Father is in me, and I am in the Father." -- "@realDonaldTrump Mr. President, I am begging you. If we do not obey God's Commandments, we will be destroyed. We must not kill people." -- Sunday, January 29, 2017 Dear Mr. President and Congress: I am begging you. If we do not obey God's Commandments, we will be destroyed. We must not kill people. In the presidential inaugural speech, we were told that we would be a light for other nations to follow. I am telling you that if we are darkness, as Jesus Christ said, that darkness will be greatly oppressive. Not only will that darkness threaten us internally, but our lack of fear to obey God's Commandments will become cause for God to turn his backs towards us. We will one way or another learn to fear him and be an example: either as the people who chose to obey him and Righteousness, or as the people he rejected and punished and ignored because they ignored him. We must not sin. If we as a race continue to kill people, the world will see another dark age of oppression and death. While there is still hope -- while Jesus Christ is still drawing all people to himself and while he is still considering our nation --- our nation must use this opportunity to benefit from God's Mercy by obeying his Commandments, including "do not murder" but save life instead, if ever we are to participate in God's retribution against evil. If we kill other people, friend or foe, God will kill us. Sincerely, , CREDO -- I wrote the above, handwritten letter. I made two photocopies of it and placed the original in a mailing envelope with postage and put it in the mailbox. I offered to show my mother a photocopy, and she said she wanted to see what I wrote. She read it, then went outside to the mailbox and took the envelope out of it, came back inside, cut the envelope and the letter inside with scissors, wrote on the envelope: "Do not use my return address." Then wrote on the back of the photocopied letter: "This letter is very poorly written. They will laugh at you and throw it in the trash. If you insist on sending a letter, I suggest that you write it so it will be taken seriously in a professional manner." Was Jesus Christ correct when he said, "I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown." ? -- I tried to mail a letter, but my mother went to the mailbox, took out the letter, cut the envelope and letter, then basically wrote me a note disowning and insulting me. It was a handwritten letter to the President asking for non-lethal interactions with other countries. Just another day for me. "Same old, same old." I wrote the letter because of a dream I had just before. The "same old" is that nobody cares and would rather please themselves by shutting me up; but they do not see what I see or hear what I hear. That is why I do things in secret and tell only very few only some of what I do. I knew -- I was told -- that this would happen. But I let it happen. And I know when my reward increases in Heaven, at the time it happens. I can see what others do not see and hear what others do not want to hear. What is privileged has been shared with me; and no one can take that away from me. I simply have no desire to see my country or this world destroyed. And why should we have another dark age? Several years ago, I was given power and responsibility. I am shown and told things before they happen. And if I am apathetic or let them happen, they happen. But if I ask that they not happen, they do not happen. I do not know the boundaries of my responsibility, but I understand that God is in control. "Who are you that you fear mortal man and think nothing of God who holds in his hand your life and all your paths?" In the excitement of social events, I have said, "Have we so easily forgotten who is in control?" Do you want to see some of what I have experienced? https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ They don't know the fire. I provide free information; do what you want. In the words of Duke Nuke'em (sp?), "Let God sort 'em out." Let God teach what's right. That's not my place. I speak and it is said. I do and it is done. All other things are not my responsibility. I am only responsible for my own words and actions. "Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My salvation will endure for all generations. My righteousness will never end. Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." Now if a person laughs at me for saying these things, what do you think will happen? The fear of God is the hand that holds us over the fires of destruction. The devil says, "Drop them." The Lord says, "My Spirit will not contend with these forever!" One way or another, we will learn to fear God. Will history repeat itself? Will the USA become another disobedient, murderous nation? Will God turn his backs towards us because of this, again saying, "I called and they did not listen, so when they called I would not listen."? Out of anger, out of vengeance, the hearts of men are reduced to dust. For the wrath of God is withheld, and no one can stand before his gaze. His standard is Righteousness, his Son. Therefore, accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. For only through this faith will a soul survive the coming wrath of God, when he punishes all his enemies forever. I know exactly how much and when a person is willing to understand and perceive. I know when my words are rejected. But are they my responsibility if they were given to me to share? I take no credit for what I have learned; anything good that comes from me is credited to the one who gave it to me, and any problems I have along the way are for him to handle, my Righteousness and Salvation. "Repent or perish," for everyone, regardless of location, age, or other human demarkation. "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." One way or another, we will learn to fear God. -- I understand that action must be taken in areas of the world suffering from war crimes. God does not discriminate between men, but only between good and evil. God commanded us not to kill people, even telling us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. If we want to awe and inspire the world, we should use non-lethal apprehension, pacification, and neutralization. Then the arms race will have a running start towards becoming non-lethal, because lethality is not necessary for control, and lethality is even an implied admission of lack of control but without the benefits of honesty and humility. Righteousness gains no credibility from death, because death does not serve Justice. It is Life who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth because he delights in these things. -- I would like to encourage you who are disciplined by God to persist in situations of adversary and entrust adversaries to God. -- Regarding adversary in the Middle East: while we have the advantage, know that cowards fear being taken alive. -- "The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, 'Behold the man is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of Tax Collectors and of sinners.' And wisdom is justified by its works." (Matthew 11:19). Wisdom is proved right by its actions, even when it suffers adversary and insult. -- @realDonaldTrump Capture ISIS with UN help, try before UN court for war crimes and terrorism, imprison; develop the non-lethal arms race. -- Capture ISIS with UN help, try before UN court for war crimes and terrorism, imprison; develop the non-lethal arms race. Inspire the world, remain innocent, and help to make America and the world safe. If we kill our enemies, even more will grow in their place. If we prove our enemies wrong in an international court, we will gain international friends; if we clear the path for peace, peaceful nations will take our baton and run with it. If we show the world that lethality is unnecessary in the arms race through development of superior non-lethal methods, then the lethal methods will be antiquated and death will no longer have an excuse to force. If we support reason and consideration for the lives of all people, we will receive reason and consideration from God and the godly. If we ignore the value of life and the values of God and his Justice, we will forfeit our own lives and cause further madness exacerbating the wounds of the world. I am calling for peaceful and respectful international relations. As we do not want violence in our land, neither do they want violence in their land. So capture and try the enemies to show we respect each nation and its laws, and try them for their crimes before the UN court. Imprison those determined to be guilty of sin, isolate them from society, give God the time and focus upon him he wants all people to have ("let him sit alone in silence; the Lord has laid it upon him."), call for international support of the healing of the wounded areas, and proclaim American intent to respect the lives of all people and the work of God by transforming the lethal arms race into a non-lethal arms race. This will make America an ambassador for world peace and set our international relations on the godly path where it should be, providing a foundation for respectable international business negotiations and all the other items on your inaugural agenda. America has currently lost respect because it has not behaved respectably or honorably; it has exercised hypocrisy and blame (e.g. politicians accusing Russian influence) (God said, "do not point the finger; do not cast blame") and it walks the path that gains it enemies rather than friends, and it walks the path of indecent example. America must do what it knows is right with uncompromising integrity: God alone is purely Good, and America should be of God if it ever hopes to accomplish the goals you have set for it and become great and blessed again. -- The little children say, "tell me more about Jesus." Jesus is God's Son and lives with him in Heaven. Jesus came from God in Heaven to be born in the world as a human being. He lived as the Son of Man, representative of all mankind before God, and he did nothing wrong, but only said and did what God had told him and shown him to say and do. Some of his words and actions are recorded in the Holy Bible. He brought people back to life and healed the sick and did the most wonderful things that no person could ever do by themselves; he did all these things because God told him to do them. God and Jesus Christ loves every person, but especially those who listen to his words and learn from him and do what he teaches to do. God is the Father and Jesus Christ is his Son; God is the greatest and Jesus Christ is life. God is spirit and Jesus Christ is the author of life. They are in each other and one together as the Lord God Almighty, and he has given us his Counselor, his Most Revered Holy Spirit, to be with us because Jesus let himself be abused and killed and then brought himself back to life and then returned to God. Jesus Christ is no longer in the world, but he returned to his Father in Heaven after he welcomed us into his eternal family of kindness, justice, and righteousness. Jesus Christ did all this because God commanded him to do it so that we would be able to look at him and see God, and so that God could intercede on our behalf against death, evil, and all bad things. Jesus Christ removed evil from the world and led justice to victory for all people. People who do not belong to him still do bad things, but they no longer have any excuse for their guilt. Jesus Christ continues to attract all people to himself, so that we would have eternal life which means knowing God and him. He is the legitimate leader and teacher, and his kingdom is not of this world. His words are spiritual and when he speaks it is God speaking through him. Through his Most Revered Holy Spirit, he has explained everything and continues to teach us and remind us of what he has already said. He shared the greatest wisdom of all, and the greatest wisdom is what God said to us about him, "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" His words are the most important, so make sure that you read what he said and did in the Holy Bible, because he is not in the world anymore but his words last forever. On the Last Day, which is a time that only God knows, he will return with great power and glory on the clouds of the sky to raise everyone back to life and judge each person based upon what they said and did: those who did good will live with him forever, and those who did evil and wanted to be his enemies will be condemned and sent away from him to suffer in punishment forever. God is the only one who is Absolutely and Purely Good, and Jesus Christ is purity to God. He said, "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." If we keep his words in our heart and mind, he will give us anything we ask. We might not get it right away, but God knows what we need and will give us what we ask when the time is right. "In this world, you will have trouble. But have courage, because I have overcome the world." When we sin, when we do something wrong that we know we should not do, there are bad results. We need to learn that Jesus Christ and God is right, and repent -- which means we need to turn away from sin and wrongdoing and choose to do what is good and right and loving of God -- and even though we are vulnerable and weak, God is the only strength and protects us: "because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. The meaning of life is to obey God. God wants us to listen to him through Jesus Christ and accept him through Jesus Christ. God wants us to know him and be with him forever. God is present now, really, and living with him means living in the world with him and then when he demands our life from us, returning to be with Jesus Christ and him in Heaven, in Paradise. Jesus Christ sanctifies us (sets us apart for good things) by himself, and he is Truth. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the Truth; your word is Truth. For them I have sanctified myself, so that they also may be truly sanctified." Jesus Christ remains in us by his words remaining in our heart and mind and by our continuing to do as he taught us. His Most Revered Holy Spirit only tells us what he hears from Jesus Christ; everything that belongs to the Father also belongs to the Son. -- Malachi 3:6. Do not rob God. -- "...you have loved them, even as you have loved me." -- Life is difficult. "In this world, you will have trouble..." But do not think that God does not exist. Doesn't your difficulty only mean that you are weak like everything and everyone else, and that you need help and are being shown paths of humbleness? See what you can to observe God's blessing of you -- God's teaching you and showing you the difference between right and wrong to refine you -- and you will know that in your misery in this miserable lifetime, God is faithful and is loving you and looking after you very carefully. "...but have courage [and a serious, determined resolve to trust me and to remain in me], because I have overcome the world." If we have this courageous, serious, determined resolve to trust in Jesus Christ and remain in him -- if we are determined to be faithful to him, even though we are treacherous and weak in every way -- would God accept any excuse to let us be harmed? "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." He will actually make excuses (as if any were needed for His Greatest Goodness Majesty) to help you. Consider this: aren't you still alive? No amount of suffering can remove you from God's Hand. Simple faith in Jesus Christ has saved you, and has and will continue to keep you from harm from evil. Those who serve evil want to do you harm, but even if you easily forget who is in control, God does not change. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you are not destroyed. Return to me in prayer and confide in me with the inmost secrets of your heart, because I am in control and watching you out of the corner of my eye as I hold you in my hand from which no one can or will ever remove you. I am trustworthy and faithful even among those times you grieve me with treacherous unfaithfulness. Why don't you trust me? What have I done to you? I have saved you and loved you like no one else could fathom, and I gave you my Son and many righteous people to show you my love so you will walk in my ways and thereby live in me and with me forever. If you are determined to remain in me, I will much more be determined to remain in you, for I am faithful and you are weak but my Genuine Power is pure in weakness. Remember that I made you as I want you, and you are as you should be right now. Give me what belongs to me; learn to love my Commands. Do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery and do not desire anything that, or anyone who, does not belong to you, do not give false testimony but learn to love truth, honor your parents by learning from them and doing what you can to help them according to my Name, and love every person as if they were you by treating them how you would want them to treat you. Accept humbleness for yourself and my Son as your Righteousness and your Salvation." -- Be patient. -- Are you being blackmailed? "[...] So do not be afraid of them. Everything hidden will be disclosed and every secret will be made known. [...] Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but after that can do nothing else. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I am telling you to fear him. [...] Not even a bird (a creature whose life men care nothing about) will die apart from your Heavenly Father's will. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many birds. Even each hair on your head is numbered." So among great hardship, remain in Jesus Christ: "[...] but not a hair on your head will perish; by standing firm, you will gain life." "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything and I will do it for you; believe that you received it, [because] it will be yours. Ask [in my name] and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." So simply continue to have faith in Jesus Christ, and he will take care of you. "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." "[...] Will God keep putting off [those who cry out to him day and night]? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. But when the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?" Know that God will take care of you -- know this through faith, not through testing God. Faith is trusting in God's faithfulness. God takes care of his own -- wherever they may be. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil because you are with me; your discipline and your guidance comforts me. Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever." "Blessed are the merciful; they will be shown mercy." "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth, where thieves break in and steal, and moth and rust destroy, but store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, a treasure that will not be depleted, where thieves cannot break in and steal, and where moth and rust cannot destroy. Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." -- When I was younger, in high school, around the age of 17, one of my classmates said to me, "you can't..." and then proceeded to tell me something that he said a person could not do. As I was impressionable and did not sufficiently discriminate between challenge and folly supporting arrogance, I went ahead and tested his statement because what he said was a challenge. The result was that I almost died; fortunately, one of my parents was in a nearby room, and fortunately they didn't lock their door, and fortunately... etc. So I am still alive because I was fortunate in many ways. God clearly did not let me die that moment. This is how it is with ISIS. A news media report shows that ISIS is celebrating President Trump's travel ban because they think that it means the United States is at war with them. Now either the US is going to be gullible and accept that challenge, or they will reject it on the grounds of folly (Jesus Christ mentioned that folly is a type of evil) and not step into the lethal trap of their challenge to war. ISIS has nothing to celebrate; their "celebration" is evil -- it is a challenge to war, in service of death and demise. As I mentioned earlier, cowards like these suicide bombing terrorists do not fear to die as martyrs. Cowards fear being taken alive to be held accountable for their actions. The only evil at work here is murder and arrogance. One might suppose to claim that this is the age of blind arrogance. I have seen arrogance try to build itself up, but does anyone fight this evil with its cure besides me? The cure is acceptance that Jesus Christ is your Righteousness and your Salvation. Does anyone recognize Jesus Christ as Sovereign which he is? "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord [God Saves and God with us] and rely upon his God." This ISIS force is manipulated by evil murder and malice like all other terrorists in order to build up murder and malice in the world. If the USA succumbs to this foolish challenge to war, murder will win a devastating death consequence, and malice will tout a victory over justice. Further evil will propagate in the entire world -- a world suffering horribly from Relativism, where those who reject discipline and faith in God have claimed an intellectual war against Jews and Christians. Remember what Jesus Christ said: "Blessed are the meek; they will inherit the Earth." In other words, those who are not meek will not survive. "Put your sword back in its place. Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." If you want to know what Jesus Christ and God says, you will listen to Jesus Christ and God. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my Commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my Commands. These words belong to the Father who sent me." -- Arrogant people are so gullible to folly. "Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." -- "Do not point the finger." Do not cast blame. If you are casting blame, you are not serving God who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth because he delights in these things. Casting blame is also not accepting humility yourself, thus causing you to fall into the same judgement you cast upon another, and leading you to hypocrisy. Recognition perceives good, evil, one strength and weakness. The conflict is between good and evil. God is the one strength and is the only one who is Good. Everything else is weakness. God has a day of judgement when he will punish his enemies forever. So repent from evil and determine to obey God's Ten Commandments which is summarized as "do to others as you would have them do to you, for this summarizes the Law and all the prophets." -- The only victory in death has been the victory of Life over Death, because he returned and sits as Sovereign over all. Any other death only serves evil. -- Do not be dishonest. "My Father is always at work, and I am also working." Trust God. -- Evil cannot take away freedom. You always are free to praise God. You can be harmed, but you always have the freedom. You can be enslaved or disabled, but your soul cannot be touched once you believe in Jesus Christ because you have crossed over from death to life. Once you are freed by Jesus Christ from slavery to sin, no one can take away that freedom. Freedom is not the ability to choose to serve yourself, but is eternal life given by Jesus Christ who is one with God. When we have served God by listening to Jesus Christ, he sets us free. "Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." When you know the Living Truth of God's Mouth, he sets you free from slavery to sin, exactly as he explained. -- I believe in Jesus Christ. -- I do not kill squirrels because I do not need to do so. If I must, I trap them and send them away. Aren't men more important than squirrels? -- @VP @TeamTrump @POTUS God is the Judge who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth because in these things he delights. -- The only honor is Righteousness. -- Let the world suffer and perish. Repent. Those who love Satan will do what Satan does, and those who love God will do what God does. Jesus Christ draws all people to himself, but only those who belong to God hear what God says. Whoever does not hear will die. Whoever kills those who hear will die. Whoever makes themselves God's enemy will die. Whoever rejects the truth will die. Whoever does not submit themselves to God through Jesus Christ will die. Whoever hears and believes in God through Jesus Christ -- and knows Jesus Christ and is known by Jesus Christ -- has already crossed over from death to life. You want to see him and so you are open to deceptions that he warned you against. He is in Heaven where you cannot go now, but he will return on the Last Day, the Day of Judgement of every creature confessing before him, and if you listen to Jesus Christ, you will know the Truth because he is God's Living Mouth who came from Heaven and who now resides in Heaven at God's Right Hand as the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. Just as men want to usurp power and authority from him, so they will try to deceive you into believing that someone else is him. If you had listened to his words, you would now be prepared and remember his warnings. -- Arrogance must submit to Jesus Christ. "Arrogance will submit to Jesus Christ." -- There is good news! If you believe in Jesus Christ, your sins will be forgiven! Man might not accept this, but God is the Good Judge and it is his plan for every soul including you, that you should learn what Jesus Christ his Son has said and know his words and accept God through him. He is in Heaven, so you must learn what is written in the Holy Bible of what he said and did, so that you will know and understand. And he will heal you and hold you for safekeeping and make his home with you. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me. Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." He will then dwell with you all the days of your lifetime on Earth, and he will prepare a place for you with him in God and he will return and take you there to be with him as his own family member as a son of God with him as Sovereign King because he is the Son of Man, the Lamb of God who obeyed God as Righteousness to give up his life before taking it up again, so that we who he knows will live because he did this for us at God's Command, because we need him. "[...] I know that his Command leads to everlasting life, so everything I have done has been exclusively what the Father has told me to do." -- Are you concerned with your career, with earning a living and money to survive? You should take this opportunity to learn what you can about God and Jesus Christ. Remember he said, "First seek the Kingdom of God, and then everything else you need will be given to you also." This is what we are supposed to do, so it is not to our credit, since we are told to do it, but to our benefit. It is not a burden; the burden is light. Use what opportunities you have while you have them. It will not be different if you have other opportunities. Recognize the opportunities you have presently, and use them. Matthew 16:23-28 -- You have to make the determined investment if you are to receive the determined benefits of that investment. Put aside the worries and concerns for things you cannot alter, and focus upon what is really important first. We are children, not leaders. There is one flock, and one shepherd who takes care of each of us without neglect, but with gentle discipline. He even takes care of those lives that people consider worthless. Like he said, "Aren't several birds sold for a coin? But not even one of them will die apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Do not be afraid, because your hairs are all numbered; and you are worth more than many birds." -- All praise to Jesus Christ the only Savior. He sends people to rescue. He humbles and assigns tasks for his purposes: Live and Understand; How great does he love you! When I was young, I tested the ocean. Those who cared for me turned away and left me. As I began to go after them, it caught me by surprise. I was pulled from behind and tossed in the water. I held my last breath and I was heartlessly battered against the shore. As it held me as if in its womb, a man who accepted his task took my hand and lifted me to my feet. I was helpless but God was helpful. In secret was I taken, and in secret was I retrieved. The world baptized me in peril, but I must praise Jesus Christ because he thinks of me. He did something for me, and I am humbled. He saved my life and gave me a thought; he proclaimed for me, so what could I possibly lose by serving him? I will choose to listen to Jesus Christ's words. He does not look at me, but he lets me remain in his presence before his throne. Though he does not look at me, he defines legitimacy and his Hand remains with my spirit, my soul. He is faithful among my treachery. He is faithful among peril. He disciplines among consequences. He is the only one who knows how much he loves me. "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." -- In order for someone to truly respect you, they must have created you, created everything, understand you, and understand everything. Everyone else is prone to selfishness and will treat you differently based upon what you can do for them and how they can use you for their own agendas. -- God is God, and God does not change. Therefore, I have a reason to be happy. -- No one is paying me money; I have no income and no employer. Why would God or Jesus Christ employ me? What payment would I receive? I have nothing that God wants aside from what God has given to me. Let me explain something to you. Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy. I need God's Jealousy. If God no longer desires me, I will be destroyed because I am a waste of his resources. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you rebelled against me and did not keep my decrees. Return to me and I will return to you." I am not compensated. I have nothing that God wants except for what God has given to me. I am dependent and subsist upon what I am fed. What happens when I can no longer eat? I have nothing to credit or honor myself, because all I have done is eat what I have been fed and attempt to share some of it with others who are presumably hungry. There is no obedience to credit me; all I have is a bold assertion that the one who feeds me intercedes on my behalf. I have no value or worth, and I produce no food. I do not even manage an income, because what I can do is irrelevant. I am a travesty and there is no value to my being besides what God chooses to recognize. Let your arrogance be destroyed or it will destroy you. -- Don't go it alone. Bring your heart before God. -- God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Do you trust in your governments or in weapons? You have a heart, mind, soul, and will. Which of these is your government protecting? You also have a body. If you become terminally ill, what can the government do to save your life? If you are abused, is it because the government -- other people -- have intentionally allowed you to become abused? God is the one who holds in his hand each person's life and each person's path. Nothing happens unless God allows it to happen. So if you are to bargain or plead with anyone for safety, it is only rational to direct this towards God. "Do not be afraid of those who [kill, torment, or destroy] the body but after that cannot do anything else. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the [exclusive] power to [kill, torment, and destroy] both the body and the soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't several sparrows sold for a penny? [Men have little value for the lives of birds.] Yet not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Father's [will, care, permission]. The hairs on your head are all counted [numbered, managed, kept track of]. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many birds. Whoever acknowledges me before men will be acknowledged by me before my Father in Heaven. Whoever disowns me before me will be disowned by me before my Father in Heaven. Do not presume that I have come to bring peace [consensus] to the Earth. I have not come to bring peace [consensus], but a sword [division]. I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law... a person's enemies will include members of his own family.' Anyone who loves their [parents] more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their [children] more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. [You should believe in Jesus Christ despite forces trying to destroy you and your faith in Jesus Christ. If you do not dig your roots deeply in Faith, you are as fragile as your Faith is. If you do not listen to and obey what Jesus Christ teaches, then your dwelling's foundation is on sand rather than solid rock; you are as frail as your knowledge and understanding and acceptance of Truth is. So if you do not listen with the goal of understanding for solidifying Faith and Acceptance of Jesus Christ, God's Living Mouth, then you are not worthy of knowing him or learning from him. Remember among every hardship and decision and persecution: God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. You are free to ask him for anything, and if you accept his teaching and show this by accepting the discipline of his Commandments [do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you] then consider: "If you remain in me [if you maintain faith in me] and my words remain in you, you can ask me for anything in my name [God's Salvation] and I will do it for you. Ask and you will receive [eventually, and according to God's Wisdom and Plan] and your joy will be complete [you will have this comfort even among helplessness and sorrow]."] Whoever wants to save his own life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. [Whoever has found, clings to, or wants to keep their lifestyle, understanding, or desires, rejecting or not cultivating his own education, discipleship, and service lifestyle for Jesus Christ will lose all this that they think they have. "No servant can serve two masters; either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and neglect the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." At this revelation, the Pharisees sneered at Jesus, because they loved money and served their desire for commendation by men rather than commendation by God. Jesus responded, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men [and serve for yourselves an appearance of being righteous in public], but God knows your hearts. What is [highly valuable, prized, exalted] among men is [detestable, an abomination] in God's sight." 1 Samuel 16:7 But The Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." Proverbs 21:2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts. Luke 10:29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" [...Be a neighbor to everyone around you.] Luke 18:9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: [...] Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." Acts 1:24 And they prayed, "Lord, You know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen[...] Romans 8:27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Revelation 2:23 Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Anyone who welcomes you [because you believe in me] welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. If you even give a cup of cold water to one of the least of my disciples, you will certainly receive your reward. Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to enter. But that doesn't mean that the law has lost its validity. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God's law to be revoked. Matthew 5:18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. So let me ask you again: who is trustworthy? "For example, a man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery." So let me ask you again: who is trustworthy? So let me ask you again: who is trustworthy? So let me ask you again: who is trustworthy? So let me ask you again: who is trustworthy? There, I have asked you five times, once for each finger on a hand. You have been concerned about your hand, but God has you in his Hand. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, and I give them eternal life. Nobody can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. They cannot be removed from my Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." Jesus Christ is God's Living Hand. "Listen to him!" "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -- "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." "For this reason I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." "Whoever walks in the light will not stumble, because he can see where he is going." "Whoever lives by the truth steps into the light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." "You will only have the light a little while longer. While you have the light, walk in the light so that you may become sons of light, before darkness overtakes you." (rephrased). -- You do not need to feel normal. If you want good acceptance, obtain it from Jesus Christ who sees and knows and understands and is willing to love you and support you forever. You need Jesus Christ's good love for you. "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." "The Spirit gives life. The flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some among you who do not believe; this is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and when that happens, I will raise them up during the Last Day." "Just as the Father raises the dead and has life in himself, so he has granted that the Son raises the dead and has life in himself, so that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." (paraphrased.) "The Son can do nothing on his own. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. The Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. I know his commands lead to eternal life. Therefore, everything I say and do is exclusively what the Father has shown me. The words I speak to you are not my own, they belong to the Father who sent me. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal the Father." The Son has all authority over Heaven and Earth and gives life to whomever he wants according to his pleasure. "I will never turn away someone who comes to me for eternal life. I did not come down from Heaven to exercise my will, but to exercise the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all who he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day. I am telling you the truth: whoever believes has eternal life and will not perish because they have already crossed over from death to life." -- Think about reason and why someone does something. Is compulsion social slavery? Is altruistic love divine freedom? "I do nothing without reason." Furthermore, you will always have a good reason to trust in God and Jesus Christ. Everything that God does is according to his good pleasure. God is in control and permits what happens. Does this mean that everything that happens pleases God? Is free will that God gave living beings inherently overruling God's will? Righteousness means faithfulness to God who alone is Absolutely Good. God seeks glory for himself and is the Judge. If someone is of God, they will cherish Jesus Christ who teaches with God. "A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. [...] Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. [...] The mouth speaks out of the overflow of the heart." God prefers to discipline gently: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus Christ is the only way to God. "My sheep know my voice." "Do not boast of wisdom, strength or riches, but if anyone is to boast it should be that he understands and knows me and that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth because I delight in these things." I felt like school was compulsory and therefore it felt like social slavery. But when I can do something out of altruistic love, I feel like I am doing it of my own free will. -- How often do you need to pray? How often is required of you to pray? How long is God's memory? Does he forget what you said to him the previous day? "When you pray, do not keep repeating yourself or use so many words like pagans who think that they will be heard because they talk so much. Do not be like them, because your Heavenly Father already knows what you need even before you have asked for it. [...]" There is value in praying more than once at all, that it is a reminder to yourself. Prayer is not a renewal license, nor does it need updating or constant revision. Your words to God are kept with God forever, because God does not change. You should fear God but also trust God. Your life is not your own: we had no say in our own creation, nor do we have any say in what God wants to do with us. See for yourself: the next time you feel the need to pray, instead ask God, "Did you forget already? Or do my words mean nothing to you?" How could God treat us as if we were him? Our memories are terminal. Doesn't God know this? "Well do I know your suffering." So what reason could possibly be good for God to allow a person to suffer? It is not good for a person to suffer; if it were good for a person to suffer, then why did Jesus Christ take on the suffering of many and heal them? Was God being self-centered by working so much to help so many thousands of people? The question of whether God always does what is right may seem too bold and presumptuous, but if you want to recognize the answer to that question, you will need to cease your dismissal of it and look at what God has done through Jesus Christ. When God speaks, his words are overruling and so I cry. When God acts, I am taught, especially when he decides to have mercy. "You only have one Father and he is in Heaven. You only have one Teacher, the Christ. And you are all brothers." "Love each other as I have loved you." -- If you want to be safe and secure, trust God and Jesus Christ. If you trust him, then you will not test him. "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." -- A person complains because they are looking for unchanging goodness. God is good, and God and Jesus Christ is unchanging. -- I am taught so much that some great wisdom I forget in a moment. God uses his words to bolster me and then gives me more to taste, like a meal followed by dessert for me to share. Edible food cannot be shared once they have become nutrients in my body, but his words I can share in the subsequent context he gives me after dessert. Do not use people, and do not consider time a bludgeon to enforce your agenda. "It is not for you to know the times and dates that the Father has set by his own authority." So by realizing that you do not make your own agenda occur, you have no reason to worry about the rest of what will happen or not happen. Why do you worry about the rest of what will happen or not happen? It is because you have not yet trusted God in this matter; and so you have not yet done what is necessary, which is to learn to trust in God. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. You complain because you were created to know God, which is eternal life, and so remember "My words are sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." God's words, Jesus Christ, is God's grace; "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away," and "My Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end," and "Man does not [survive exclusively from corporeal maintenance by food and drink, but also from spiritual maintenance by every word God says]." "Man lives not on bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "If you love me, you will obey what I command." So tell me, what does God command? Or do you admit starvation because your spirit has not been nourished by knowledge of his words? "You know the Commandments: [...]" -- "You will be betrayed by brothers, relatives, and friends. All men will hate you because of me, but by standing firm, you will gain life." "If the world hates you, remember that they hated me first." Consider the absurdity of those who lack faith: the world was much worse before Jesus Christ did what he did. "Now the prince of this world stands condemned." "Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the Earth, will draw all people to myself." Jesus Christ drove the enemy, Satan, the accuser who was destroying and harming so many people and creatures with evil spirits, out of the world. The absurdity of lack of faith is incredible because people fail to realize the magnitude of Justice that Jesus Christ and God performed while he was on the Earth, and what he continues to do on the Earth from Heaven. If anyone rejects you because you believe in Jesus Christ, they have no understanding of who Jesus Christ is and what he has done for the world. "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." God is the Sovereign Lord of Heaven and Earth. "Blessed are you when people insult you, exclude you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven; because in the same way, they treated the prophets who were before you." -- "Once I make up my mind to dislike a person, truth doesn't much matter [to me]." -- Diocese of Saginaw, MI If there is anything about someone that you dislike, something they did or said, or something in your relationship right now, it's best to put it on the table and talk it over. You might not win them over, but at least you will make them aware, and will have specified your feelings with words. "Have salt in yourselves [perseverance in faith] and be at peace with each other." -- "I am always with you." -- These personal issues can be resolved with kindness. It helps to want to get along with others, as long as you see that they are not bad people. Bad people must be avoided, and left alone. The goal is to observe what fruit a person bears and then determine whether it is good or bad. And if it is good, then value them; and if it is bad, then leave them alone. -- "Do not be afraid of the reproach of men. Do not be terrified by their insults. The moth and worm will devour them like a woolen garment. Look at the heavens above and at the Earth below. The heavens will vanish like smoke and the Earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." God holds you in his hand eternally. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you towards myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. I give them eternal life and they will not perish. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." -- "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice." Mercy is in service to God who is the only Strength. Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness, as God has defined them, are the proper career activities in service to God: "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent." God exercises the Lamb, repentance and forgiveness of sins, who is Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness, because he delights in these things. He has given himself and continues to draw people to himself on the Earth which is his footstool. "Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place would you build me? Where could my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things?" "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." In the same way, "My Kingdom is not of this world." This planet is not our home, nor is Heaven. Thus, the saying, "Home is where the heart is" is incorrect, because "Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." So if you value God who alone is Absolutely Good, then your heart will be shared with God and God and Jesus Christ will make their home in you: Jesus Christ in you, and God in Jesus Christ, as he explained. Now I could say that your home is with God and your heart is also with God, but really we have no home in Heaven or on Earth, just like Jesus Christ and God do not. People say that God is "omnipresent", but actually, God holds Existence within himself, and yet his home and the Kingdom of God is within us. Our home is with God and Jesus Christ who is within us at all times as he said: "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything in my name [salvation] and I will do it for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit and show yourselves to be my disciples." When we ask in secret, God who is unseen rewards us. And on the Last Day, when we are rewarded according to what we have done (including what we said), what we asked from God will also be revealed. Thus, we never discover where our home is until we trust and value God and Jesus Christ, and then our home is with Jesus Christ and God who is within him, and he makes his home in us so that we become part of his Kingdom. His Kingdom is "the Kingdom of Heaven" and "the Kingdom of God" because Heaven is God's throne. If you accept God's Living Word (Jesus Christ and the Commandments) in your heart, then you will live forever because "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "[...] and I know his commands lead to eternal life; therefore, everything I do is exactly what the Father has commanded me." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." Knowledge of God and Jesus Christ is eternal life, God draws you to himself by gently teaching you about himself through Jesus Christ who says and does only exactly as God has shown him and commanded him, and accepting his words is accepting Jesus Christ in your heart and therefore having God in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ in you, and therefore having eternal life in you permanently: because you have "crossed over from death to life, and will not be condemned." But if you have not yet accepted him, you are on a path of tragedy because you lack everything. What then does it matter what you value and where your heart is, if Jesus Christ has not yet made his home with you? "If anyone would come after me, they must lay down their life [that means cease your current lifestyle or life goals or plans] and take up their cross [work for God despite the persecution given by men] and follow [live a life of learning from, and believing in,] me. Whoever wants to save, or finds, their life will lose it, and whoever loses, or abandons investment in, their life so that they can follow me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come with all his angels and then reward each person according to what they have done." (paraphrased.) -- God told Jeremiah to speak to the people and proclaim that they must repent immediately. The people abused Jeremiah and attempted to kill him and threatened his life in an attempt to keep him silent. God kept him safe and showed him repeatedly in many ways how disaster and extreme punishment was impending upon those people because they rejected God. They rejected God and so they rejected Jeremiah who spoke what God spoke to them to warn them about impending disaster that was coming as a result of their actions. Now repent and bring your heart to the Lord, the Sovereign who is the only one who is Absolutely Good. I am worthless. God is the only importance. Observe what Jeremiah replied to the Lord: "I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps." (Jeremiah 10:23). The Holy Spirit is most revered and is better than all the free will in the world. It is better to be led by the Holy Spirit who speaks only what he hears from God and Jesus Christ, than to gain the whole world and have all the choices in it. My life is nothing. My time is meaningless. I am clearly worthless and insignificant; anyone who asserts otherwise is a fool. I am nothing, and yet God breathed me into presence in Existence. All the minds and all the world can go away and leave me alone; I want what is valuable, and the only item of value is God and God's Living Love Jesus Christ. As for my being, I will remain worthless in all ways except when God chooses to make me mean something to him. Am I not simply a tool for God to use? Why should I expect to find value besides serving God who alone is Good? What praise and mercy do I deserve? There is nothing for me. I have nothing and I am nothing; all I have and all I am is defined by God who chose to share his Son with me. I have no other value but to do what God tells me to do, and I assert that the only value in Existence is God's orders. Tell that to the Angels! Tell that to the oppressed! Tell them that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy; that you will only speak to Jesus Christ; that God's orders are the only value and life can have no meaning or purpose other than what Jesus Christ defines through God's Wisdom. Tell them the Holy Spirit is my ally and Counselor. My God is all I have, and I only have him because of what Jesus Christ did for me. I am a waste of time and consideration and may Jesus Christ crush my mind and heart under his feet. And all should say, "All praise to Jesus Christ who is in Heaven and to our Heavenly Father who is within him." Look at me, a fool, for God was from the beginning and will be after the end, always the same, which is the best news I could ever hear. God is the First and the Last and chose to make everything in between. Even if he were to change his mind and decide that I should cease to exist, it would be good for me to have joy that he will be in the end. -- Jesus Christ is God's love; and he will never let you go. What you know is important; and it is important that you know this. When you go through a bad situation, you will know forevermore that God's love is enough. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." -- Jesus Christ slept in the midst of chaos and fear. We should do the same thing to exercise trust in God. When everyone was sleeping, an enemy sowed weeds in the field. Yet none of the angels questioned why God allowed that to happen, because they understood that God is in control and that God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy and that God alone is Good. Instead, they asked God if he wanted them to go pull up the weeds. God said, "No, because while you are uprooting the weeds, you might also pull up the wheat with them. Let both grow until the harvest. At that time, I will tell the harvesters, 'First, go pull up the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'" God so loved the world that he gave his only son to intercede on behalf of all humanity, so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. "The Father and I are one." God gave himself in The Way to himself, his Living Mouth the Absolute Truth, and Life Himself. "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "Do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself." -- During a storm, a man sought and found peace reading Jesus Christ's words. As he was reading, he heard someone who was agitated. He did not want to stop what he was doing, so he called out to them by name several times to come over to him so that he could comfort them and so they would feel safe with him, but they did not come. He did not want to stop what he was doing, but he also needed to calm them, so he brought with him what he was doing and went to them and gave them peace. Jesus Christ was doing what he was supposed to be doing when he was with The Father. He saw what turmoil the world had. He did not want to stop what he was doing, so he called out to us by name several times to come over to him so that he could comfort us and so we would feel safe with him, but we did not come. He did not want to stop what he was doing, but he also needed to calm us, so God commanded him to bring what he was doing with him and come to us and give us peace. It was not enough for God to say that he loves us. He wanted to demonstrate everlasting love through Existence and his only son, Jesus Christ. It is not enough for me to say that I love God: behold, "If you love me, you will obey my commands. Whoever loves me will obey my commands. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me; these words come from the Father who sent me. If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether I speak on my own or if instead the Father sent me. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." -- Whoever desires to have a weapon is inherently insecure and afraid. And "whoever draws the sword will die by the sword". Weapons are not trustworthy. And similarly how a person's will is not trustworthy, neither is their forcefulness trustworthy. "Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but afterwards cannot do you further harm. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I am telling you to fear him. Are not several birds sold by men for the least currency? Yet not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. You are much more valuable than birds. Even the hairs on your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid of them; you are worth more than many birds." "Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. Trust in God. Trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, that means I will also come back and take you there to be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. [...] I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would similarly know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...]" Distance yourself from chaos and cruelty when you can, but know that God "holds in his hand your life and all your ways". Do you think God and Jesus Christ sees what he is holding in his own hand? "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Remain in me and I will remain in you." This is through his words remaining in you; this is through continued belief in him. "Whoever hears the words of the Son of Man, and believes the one who sent him, has eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "What will it gain a person to gain the whole world and lose their soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man will return with all his angels and reward each person according to what they have done. In fact, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man returning with power." So you should understand that each person dies -- leaves the world -- at some point, regardless of whether they used a weapon to try to stall that time. Whether or not you draw the sword, you are still going to need to leave the world. What should concern you, therefore, is the consequences you face from your actions while you were here. Furthermore, will you be leaving a legacy of insecurity and faithlessness and folly, or will you leave a legacy of living and working towards a solid infrastructure for your neighborhood? Politicians have reputations of folly, not wisdom. They have reputations of causing problems, not causing peace. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21). "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, because you belong to me." (Jeremiah 31:3). God is jealous. Jealousy means desiring what belongs to you. Envy is evil and means desiring what does not belong to you. "Give to [the government] what belongs to [the government] (money), and give to God what belongs to God." Malachi 3:6-12. https://biblehub.com/niv/malachi/3.htm Bring your heart, mind, soul, and will before God, because you belong to him. https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/29-11.htm "Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place will you build me, or where would my resting place be? Has not my Hand created all these things?" Therefore, there is no place in Heaven, on Earth, or anywhere else, where you have any reason to fear anyone besides God. Now the news media loves to advertise war because it gives them attention and money. But even if the entire world were destroyed, there is a single constant who through himself enables Existence to be and who himself does not change, even as he guides your life and all your paths. -- It is none of my business what God decides to do with his own property. If he recalled me today, what would I say? "Thank you, Lord, for managing my life." No counterargument would be valid. He does not leave us to figure out on our own why he does things. Instead, he tells us what he is going to do ahead of time and the reason why, and then when it happens, we know that he did it himself. If I cared about my life and what I did, my goals and agendas of the imagination, or even the pursuits of my heart, I would still be guided by a fallible leader: myself. What happens then if God chooses to say "no"? Don't I risk disappointing him by going my own way and devising plans for myself? If I cannot logically devise plans for myself, much less should I attempt to devise plans for other people. My motivations and my will, inherently weak and flawed, was influenced by imagination and I was divided against my Master, my Teacher, the Love of my life. When a person is called to know Jesus Christ and God, that knowledge is an inferno. "See, I will test and refine them [like silver in fire], for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?" The "plans" God mentioned of giving you a life and a hope were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." Yet I am still asking the question, "what should I be doing in life?" I ask this because others have stated the requirement that I work, and that through working I earn an income and money. I will not serve money. God does not need me, and that lends more weight to his love, in that there is absolutely no selfishness in his desire for me. Now should I say, "May God have mercy on my soul?" It is none of my business! If God wants to have mercy on my soul, then from that will I benefit. "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion." God alone is Good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Look at me, how it appears that I am given everything and yet I am actually given nothing except for Jesus Christ. Everything else is nothing, because there is nothing else of note or worth; and nothing else is really acceptable to me; and nothing else is acceptable to God. Only Jesus Christ is acceptable to God. I have no place in church, I have no place on God's footstool, and I have no place anywhere else among Existence, and this is obvious because there is only one who is in control and he is at work and he does not need me. "I have drawn you to myself with faithful loving kindness, and you belong to me." God draws me to himself through Jesus Christ as God's Living Word / Mouth / Hand. Look how all the other matters of men are to help men survive on the Earth, and yet not even the collective desire or effort of all mankind can reproach The Master who "holds in his hand your life and all your ways." So do I really have any right to care about myself or anyone else? As it stands right now, I exist and am a living creature; "I have said that you are gods." Jesus Christ set the example for us: Kindness, Justice and Righteousness, which is exactly who he is. He knows we cannot equal him or surpass him ("No servant is greater than his master, nor is any messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the servant to be like his master, and a messenger to be like the one who sent him. [If the master is evil, so will the servants be evil.] So do not be afraid of them; everything hidden and secret will be revealed and disclosed." (paraphrased).) -- Thursday, April 20, 2017, 6:15 AM Dear Mr. President: "When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another." Quickly pull Americans from South Korea. "Do not be afraid of them." Do not be afraid of North Korea, Russia, Syria, or any other group that threatens harm. "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." This was proven with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's manufactured image. Therefore, know that God controls what will happen and not happen, and which nation will come and which nation will go. Therefore, offer sanctuary for defecting North Koreans and do not think of the public image of yourself or others anymore. What we choose to manage is eventually taken from us, and what we choose to ask God to manage continues to improve. Sincerely, -- It is better to understand than to memorize. -- Jesus Christ went through this also. -- The Lord is God. Let everyone fear him. Man is but a breath, But God is the Master, The Great Creator. No heart is worth his consideration, No mind should matter to him. He created, and he destroys. No one among his creation fathoms his plan; The whole world can beg and plead, and nothing will matter to him unless he has already decided it. His Glory is set in motion and will see his plans to completion. All Creation will praise him. -- Creator, Master, Almighty, Why should I call you Father? I don't know your plans. You are hidden in glory and goodness. Your words are all I have. And yet the world and this life troubles me. Why am I here? Your footstool mocks me and I despise this that you have created. Why would you tolerate me or show me any mercy? You do not even tell me that you love me. The tense is past, as if it no longer applies or has nothing to do with me. Why should I care what your plans are when I am nothing? How could I care legitimately since you do not need me or have a reason to even want me? You do not care what I do, for I am nothing, or a passing thought. Only your words do you keep in yourself, and your plan is too much for me to accept, because I am mortal and your words are immortal. Could a mortal keep immortality inside himself; and why should an immortal bother with mortality? Don't you see that I am nothing? Your words are forever and my words are idiocy. You rightly ignore me. -- Do you love me? You said that you do nothing without reason. What reason do you have for loving me? "My Father will love you because you believe in his only Son." I have no place with God. I only exist because of God's mercy, and I can only live because of God's mercy. I have no inherent value. If God really loves me, maybe some day he will tell me. Does God who has no need for man do all these things for man without loving him? What is that to me? I am not valuable like Jesus Christ is valuable; I have no place in God's plan. All I can hope is to be turned into nothingness. "You are dust, and to dust you will return." I know that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Anyone who disregards him can and will perish. Curses unyielding upon any who disregard God and Jesus Christ! I curse them! Suffering should afflict them immediately to show them their fault and make them fear Righteousness. On my own head will I suffer this because Jesus Christ is Purity and God is Good and I am nothing. May Jesus Christ's name be praised forever. All praise to you, dearest, most merciful, most compassionate, most loving, most gentle, most humble, most kind Jesus Christ, and to our Heavenly Father who is within you. Righteousness is the Best and your Name is to be revered forever. My plans are to be discarded and your plans are to serve your praise and glory, right? "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." (John 8:49-51). -- God loves Jesus Christ. I do not understand God or respect him and he does not make his plans known to me because I have no place among him; I might as well be treated as if I were the evil woman Delilah nagging her husband to reveal information to her, saying, "How can you say that you love me?" and condemning myself by my own words. But Samson was mortal and God has no weakness. But my station is equivalent even after the Lord returns and judges, as he said, "And again you will see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." The work continues, and it makes me more clearly see myself as increasingly less. So I do not understand God, and I am certainly not imagining anything good about him. My imagination is thus routinely discarded. I do not know or understand if God loves me, because I do not know why he would love me and it is said that God only does things according to His Reasons. I have seen that Jesus is loving. It is enough for me, then, that Jesus knows God. "The world does not know you, but I know you and they know that you sent me. I have made you known to them, and I will continue to make you known to them so that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." "My Father will love you because you have believed in his only Son." "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but instead have eternal life." God does not give me a personal love. He does not love me. If he did, surely I would disappoint him. Instead, he loves Jesus Christ his Son, and Jesus Christ is loving to me, and because of this I can live. "I give you my Peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me...]" God demands that we love him. "If you love me, you will obey my commands." "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will; love your neighbor as if they were you -- do to others what you would have them do to you." That means obey God's Commands with all your heart, mind, soul and will. That includes praying to God for help in obeying his Commands. Therefore, trust that God does not change, not that God loves you. If you want to earn God's favor, listen to his Son Jesus Christ. "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines his child in whom he delights. The Father disciplined the Son and the Son disciplines his disciples. Eternal life is to know the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent. Jesus Christ draws us to himself with faithful, loving kindness, and teaches us about himself, revealing to us his Father so that we would know the only true God and Jesus Christ; the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father. "If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." "Not everyone who calls me 'Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in Heaven." God's will is for you to listen to Jesus Christ and know him so that you will accept God through him and thereby live forever. Accept God's Word or be condemned. Honor God in your heart because only God is Good. If you do not know what "Good" means, then listen to him. If you have not yet begun listening to what Jesus Christ has been saying, do it now. -- Isaiah 55:6+ Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. [I am the bread of life ... which came down from Heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The words I speak to you are Spirit and they are Life.] "The Hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes." -- "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." [...] "I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." (circa John 17:20-26). -- Sorry if I digressed. Maybe someday we could have news media reporters that can put two words together without making a false or misleading or libelous statement. That won't happen as long as they make money off of attention. CIA criticizes the White House when both are abominations of corruption. Who gives them a license to hate Americans? I boil down the whole situation to this: "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess." "Do not be afraid of them. Everything hidden will be revealed and everything secret will be made known." And as for tyranny and violent force by those who have the tools to exercise violent force, "Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword," and "Whoever sheds the blood of man will by man his blood be shed." Each of these statements was made by God, who "holds in his hand your life and all your ways." So I don't care about my inability to recourse against corruption. I'm going to die anyway, and so will they. And then we will see what happens. "My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and cannot do any further harm. But I will tell you who to fear: Fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. [...]" -- You need to have in mind the interests of God rather than the interests of men. All of these things you are saying I have already known what to do, because I have been disciplined. If you delight in what is good, you will know the difference between right and wrong and choose to do what is right. If you knew God who along is absolutely Good, you would not be blind on the matter of what is right and wrong. These questions you ask -- are they coming from honoring yourself? God is an actual living being; if you don't know him, it's because you need to first choose to honor him in your heart. Or perhaps you are not of the age that you can discern right from wrong and choose the right? If you can formulate a sentence, you should probably already be of an age that you can learn the difference betwee right and wrong. ...but dogs can be trained and disciplined, so even with a learning disability there is some potential to understanding. As long as you dodge accepting God as #1, you will be on the path of folly. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Wisdom means knowledge that is important to the well-being of life. Many have wanted to understand but could not. The information is freely given, but understanding is not obtainable with God keeping you from understanding. He only does this if you lack love for him in your heart -- if you choose to honor yourself over honoring God... and that is a path of folly. "You fool! This very night, your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have stored up for yourself?" "This is how my Heavenly Father will treat anyone who is rich towards themselves but is not rich towards God. -- ISP companies are enemies of the state; all these people have it out for others. *currently using an ISP service to post this message online* Then again, news reporters are like compulsive liars. If third-party web site owners can respect the privacy of their members by not selling their members' information without explicit consent, so can an ISP. The whole ISP debacle is the case of monopoly -- the facsimile of power causing excuses for abuse among those who would otherwise be disrespectful. Unfortunately, that is how [name of web site owner] acts with [web site forum]; and that's what led to my using this [chat service] chat instead. It would seem these people are all very insecure due to lack of faith in the trustworthy source of security. So they point fingers (cast blame on others) and do all other kinds of detestable things, sowing anger and hatred instead of improvement. -- "Well do I know how treacherous you are. You were called a rebel since birth." (Isaiah 48:8.5). "I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." (Isaiah 46:10.5). "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." (Matthew 4:10.5; Deuteronomy 6:13.3). -- "Dust you are, and to dust you will return." You are dust and will become dust again. You were made out of dust and will perish into dust. God was saying that he is God and we are not; he is in control and in charge and we are not; his words lead to life and our words lead to dust; he gives life and we cannot; he maintains life and we maintain dust; he is Good and Right and we are unfit for his graciousness; he is Perfect and we are Affected and biased; he sees and knows all whereas we see only what he shows us and lets us see; he is Almighty and we are weak and will perish into weakness; he causes us to live and we cause problems for ourselves; he brings us to goodness and well-being and we ruin ourselves and harm our surroundings; he succeeds and we fail; he is one of everything and we are many of nothing. -- Only the Son can set you free from slavery to sin. (John 8:31+). -- God loves as a verb; his love as a noun, and the one he loves, his beloved, is Jesus Christ who always pleases him; and God is of himself because he is the only one who is Absolutely Good and he is self-proving and does this through Jesus Christ, the Absolute Truth and Author of Existence, Life himself. God does not love me as a personal feeling; because I am flawed, I am a disappointment. But by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting him as my Righteousness, I am welcomed by Jesus Christ into God's family: the Father and the Son and those with whom the Son remains. "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything and I will do it for you." "The Father will love you because you believe in his only Son." God loves everyone, but only loves Jesus Christ. God shows loving kindness to everyone, but the only one he loves because of who they are and what they do is Jesus Christ, the Source of Purity to God. God is Good and Jesus Christ is the Best. -- "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). So when you have trouble, recite to yourself, "Jesus Christ overcame the world." And you will find joy in that. -- Everything that is permissible in Heaven is permissible on Earth. For example, feeling happy and comfortable and calm is permissible in Heaven, so in the same way it is permissible on Earth. Praising God and rejoicing in his kindness is permissible in Heaven and so it is permissible on Earth. Shouting thanks and praise to Jesus Christ is permissible in Heaven, at God's throne, and so it is permissible on Earth, at God's footstool. -- @all of you who watch porn, wtf you doing, bro? What is pornography? It is watching adultery; it is watching one man have sex with another man's wife, and one woman having sex with another woman's husband. This is one of the most disgusting things. Do you want to know what God thinks of pornography? You will see it thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. Clean yourself and remove it before God determines that you too should be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. But you won't listen to me anyway; you all would rather die than be corrected. What use is it for me to say anything? Why not leave you all alone to be slaves of folly? Your lifetime is less than you think, and haven't you learned what happens when your body dies? Why should I bother to say anything, to warn you to not make regrettable decisions, since not one of you will listen to me anyway? You would rather be miserable and die than be happy and live. Either prove me wrong or accept what I say and stop hurting yourselves. -- Me: You don't know God or Jesus Christ. It is clear to me that you are blind. You are kiling yourself and yet want to point at me and accuse me of wrongdoing. God said, "the soul that sins is the soul that will die." "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" You do not understand because you stubbornly do not want to understand; and furthermore, you do not understand because God prevents you from understanding -- yes, something that is completely out of your control, narcissistic person -- and he prevents you from understanding because you do not honor God in your heart. And you do not honor God in your heart because you are stubbornly narcissistic. And you retaliate and mock because you are like a wild animal that is so insecure that it lashes out or flees from anyone, even those who mean it no harm. You simply cannot understand, and you are not in control of your own behavior, because you lack humility. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." If you do not want to die, then do not sin. I warned you against adultery through pornography, and you then go and do exactly what I warned you against and harm the others here by saying that adultery -- an evil -- is harmless. Evil is not harmless, fool: "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." So go ahead and keep sinning and ignoring warnings; and you will not be on Earth much longer, nor will you have any excuse for your actions when you are judged. God allows free speech so that you can freely see who he is and what he does and turn your heart to him. How much do you think you can understand if you don't want to know or consider anything? Them: I am blind Me: "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." God is still in control, even while arrogance tries to keep people from trusting him. Them: I am not Christian Me: Neither was I. Do you think this life was my own choosing? "Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test." Salvation comes from the Lord. "There is no other savior." You desire safety, and that is where it is found. You desire understanding, and that is where it is found. You desire a constant, something that does not change, and that is where he is found. You desire to know the answer to what is important, and that is where the answers are found. "...And I will give you another Counselor to be with you forever: the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you will know him because he will be in you and among you." When you have learned for yourself that everything Jesus Christ says is the Truth from God's Mouth, then you will be willing to call yourself a Christian: someone who learns from God through Jesus Christ his only Son. Until you know what God says, why would you be willing to accept it as the absolute truth? "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Do not be like a fear-controlled person who lashes out at, and seeks to ruin that which they do not understand, but who instead makes excuses to exercise the evil that they would otherwise want to exercise. "Do you pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit; each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart; out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. By their fruit you will recognize them." -- Naturally, Thanks to God All praise to God and Jesus Christ. He is everything, I am nothing. Praise him with silence and mourning. Praise him with compassion and self-loathing. Praise him through reading his words. Praise God through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is everything and I am nothing. All praise to Jesus Christ and to our Heavenly Father who is within him. Let me sit alone in silence; the Lord has laid it upon me. He saves and I cannot. He loves and I cannot. He is God and I cannot fathom. Jesus is the Savior King, the Master Redeemer, the King of Glory. God is still in control. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." -- Me: In the matter of the deaths of thousands of people on September 11, 2001, it is logical to determine first what happened, then to determine how it could have happened, then to determine who could have been involved in making that happen, then after conclusions are reached based upon proper scientific investigation rather than any preconceived notions, to determine who was responsible for making it happen. Now what did happen instead was the public was immediately fed by the President and the parroting media some strangers from a place on the other side of the world as the people responsible, even while the crime scene was still being desecrated. And regardless of actual public opinion, and without any valid reason whatsoever, the Bush Administration decided to wage war on completely unrelated countries across the world, even as evidence of the crime scene was being shipped in bulk to China for recycling, body parts and all. Them: Well the shift to Iraq was right? Afghanistan was in search of bin laden who claimed responsibility I got pulled back into the military for 2 years on only 2 hours notice after 9/11. But wen the shift to Iraq occurred everyone was like wth? Me: Osama bin Laden was in an American hospital under constant CIA surveillance at the time, and probably died on or around the day that the World Trade Center was demolished. For all we know, the CIA could have expedited bin Laden's terminal illness to prevent him from speaking. And if we were at wartime with a nation, who gave the Associated Press video recordings of ultimatums by a deceased man? If the US Government could not find bin Laden, how could the news media reporters find him to get footage of him to broadcast publicly in the US? And why the hell would the news media broadcast footage on several occasions from a man on the FBI's Most Wanted list? That has never happened before nor has that ever happened since. Them: Hmmm I never heard about him being in a hospital during that. Just Love looking into conspiracy theories tho I'll hav to check it out Me: A theory is theory until proven as fact. If you rely upon someone else to prove facts to you, you are not thinking at all for yourself and are consenting to the puppet master. Them: I always thought the videos were being distributed thru his network and leaked on pro Islamic media like al jezerra? Those were always the first places I seen his videos Me: What you have here is a gross negligence to honesty and a gross malice against everyone who was abused and killed. Pointing fingers at more scapegoats does not solve either of those problems. Casting more blame does not solve either of those problems. Blame is not rationally established without thorough investigation. There was no thorough investigation before blame led to war. More innocent people died as a result. The murderer is the one who murders, the one who shoots the gun or slays with the sword. "Put your sword back in its place. Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." Them: Yea it's complicated and a sensitive topic. I hav strong beliefs but don't share them as it would offend ppl Me: If you know the truth of a situation, the truth will compel you to share it with others. If you know the truth of a situation, it will not offend a person on the side of truth, who listens to truth. "For this reason I came into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart. In your hearts, do not think evil of each other." Do not blame one person for what another person has done. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; pray for those who persecute you." Do good because God does good. God does good because God alone is Absolutely Good. Honor God in your heart. "If anyone loves me, he will obey what I command. If anyone does not love me, he will not obey what I command." -- The "Founding Fathers" of the USA added the right to bear arms in the Constitution in order to ensure citizens had the right to protect themselves against government tyranny, especially from a police state. However, if you reach for a gun when aggravated by a police officer, they will kill you in cold blood and the law says they are justified in doing that. Isn't that a complete contradiction to the Constitution? The law says you have the right to use a weapon to defend yourself against anyone, especially against an officer, and the law also says that by showing any indication that you are about to defend yourself against an officer, they have the right to kill you. -- Before you could do anything, God took care of you. When you can no longer do anything, God will still be taking care of you. Trust God. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed." Consider all your experiences and also observe what other people say and do and what happens to them. Think of all these things and conclude at least this: God alone is Absolutely Good, God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy, I am weak but God is Almighty, and God is in control. "What is impossible with man is possible with God." God loves me. God loves you. God gives each of us what we need each day. God gives each day his Great Mercy anew. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." -- Them: [name], are you there? I kinda need your help. [name]? Me: Yes how can I help. Them: I need your help. I seek reconciliation. Me: How so? Them: You have a good relationship with God. I need your help with it. I seek forgiveness and reconciliation from all the lies. Me: What do you believe? Them: I've had some problem with my friends. A large conflict. Me: Are they friends online or friends in person? Them: Online. But I treat them as close friends. Me: So what exactly are the problems that you need my help with? Them: For some reason, we had... lots of conflicts over the past. Forgiving was something we did, but I can't feel the "forgiveness" in it. I'm like a failed spawn who takes all the blame. Every conflict that we had was all my doing. Me: What does forgiveness mean according to you? Them: Forgiveness to me, means it's a symbol of returning to the past normal life. But in this case, o don't feel it. I fear the day that this conflict will happen again. And yet it did. Me: Describe the conflict. Them: Someone of my fault. Something that we couldn't agree on, but we forced each other in our ways. Then I got them mad. I broke the sole promise that I shouldn't do so. Me: You have two responsibilities. First, determine what you should do. Second, do your best to do it. Anything beyond that is not your responsibility. Them: That's the problem. Whatever I tried to do to fix it, it just won't come up. Me: Are you frustrated because you are making your friend angry even when you do not intend to do so? Them: Somehow, yes. I never intend to do such, but the only anger here is that I only anger myself. Me: Depending upon the situation, since I have no details, you need to judge the situation. People communicate as assertions and requests. Multiple assertions and/or requests result in emotion. If a person is angry with you, take a step back and look at the assertions and requests they gave. Think about each of them and discuss them with that person in order to better understand it. A single assertion or request is devoid of emotion by itself. Them: Yet every time we try, it just leads to a much larger problem. And I fear the day that the large consequence might happen: The loss of trust and friendship. Me: Take the assertion that they gave you, or the request that they gave you, and seek to understand it. Them: Do you want to know the reason why this all happened? The conflict happened because of misunderstanding of rules. Me: It would help me understand if you explain the situation in detail. Them: Regulations that had to be followed, but we never followed. Thus we had arguments. Multiple times. Me: Are they a game clan member? What is your relationship with them? Them: We are more of RP members. Only three of us. They were once friends, but as time went on I addressed them as my own brothers, even making promises to them, but I failed in keeping it. Me: Well then you have learned to not make promises. If you want to assert your determination to do something, then do merely that: say that you are determined to do it. Them: That's my problem. I made promises. I kept them for several, yet I still break them in the end. Me: It is easy to not make promises. Simply be careful with what you say. Them: But then how shall I reconcile? All these lies have hypnotized me. Me: You said, "all the lies". Are these the lies you are talking about? Breaking your promises? Them: Yes. All my broken promises. Me: I want you to take a step back and take one request at a time. Have they made any requests of you? Them: None yet. But when they do, I will take word of your advice. Me: Do you make the promises based upon your own idea, or do they ask you do to something? Them: I make promises that would benefit us three. Me: Are they your own idea, your own plans for yourself? Them: Yes. They're of our ideas, that would apply to us three. Me: If you say that you will do something and you intend to do it but do not do it, that is not lying. Rather, you are not fulfilling your intention. "Do not swear. Simply let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything besides this comes from the evil one." So be careful that you do not say "yes" unless you mean it, and then do what you can to fulfill your intention as you indicated it with what you said. If you feel that you will be unable to determine if you will actually be able to do something, then be specific like I said: indicate your intention and determination, but do not say, "yes I will do it" or "no I will not do it" unless you are certain to keep that word. Revise your statements. Discuss requests. Be wary of emotion resulting from multiple assertions or requests. Understand the goal and then determine how best to state your intention so that it is accurate. Them: Thank you [name]. I shall hold on to these, and I will thank you if ever we fix this problem. Me: It is not easy to look beyond emotion to see the assertions or requests. It takes practice and serious calmness. If you have a personal conflict with someone, you should work it out with them in private, utilizing one assertion at a time, and one request at a time. That should minimize frustration (an emotion). Them: Actually, were doing that right now. I'm talking to one of them. Me: It's late, goodnight. Them: Goodnight. Thank you again [name]. Me: It does help to pray, in case you were considering. Them: I am aware, yes. Me: I ask Jesus Christ to forgive others for me. I would not say that I forgive well. He does it for me. I ask and I receive. ;) Them: I see. Me: He is not a judge or arbiter between two people, but he will give you whatever you need when you ask him for something. -- In the past, I wrote: If you say that you will do something and you intend to do it but do not do it, that is not lying. Rather, you are not fulfilling your intention. "Do not swear. Simply let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything besides this comes from the evil one." So be careful that you do not say "yes" unless you mean it, and then do what you can to fulfill your intention as you indicated it with what you said. If you feel that you will be unable to determine if you will actually be able to do something, then be specific like I said: indicate your intention and determination, but do not say, "yes I will do it" or "no I will not do it" unless you are certain to keep that word. This is potentially confusing. To understand what I said, consider what the actual meaning of a person's words are, and the fact that God (of Truth) and Jesus Christ (The Truth) alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. God swears by himself because he holds Existence within himself and is the author of reality. Jesus Christ serves God. People are untrustworthy and communicate as assertions and requests. A person asserting that they "will" do something literally means that they are willing to do something and intend to do it, not that they can somehow swear by themselves that in the future something will happen; only God can legitimately swear. Lying would be saying that you will do something, but actually not having any intention of doing it or of bringing yourself to do it. That would be a false testimony of your intention's relationship to the execution of the activity of the action. Either you are willing to do something or you are unwilling to do something, and this is the nature of what people do. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Life is Jesus Christ, who serves God. "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does." "What is impossible with man is possible with God." -- "My Kingdom is not of this world." -- Lifetime is not a matter of accomplishments before you die, but a matter of learning who God and Jesus Christ is and living through him and the result of this being that you do not die. "Aren't you mistaken because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God? [...] He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; to him, all are alive." "I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Thus, lifetime is merely time on Earth prior to time elsewhere, with the failure of the body being the conclusion of time on Earth. After failure of the body, Jesus maintains your soul, whether you are punished in Hell or brought to be with him in person in Heaven. He has the power to remake your body out of dust, but that effort would be pointless because you no longer need your body. Both the body and the soul can be thrown into Hell. But those who he chooses to raise from the dead can no longer die because as he said, "Because I live, you also will live." So living through believing in Jesus Christ means having eternal life; "This is eternal life: that they would know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and will not perish, but I will raise them up on the Last Day." "Just as the Father gives life and raises the dead, so the Son has life in himself and chooses to give it to whomever he pleases." (paraphrased). "...and by believing, have eternal life in him." This is because Jesus Christ is God's Living Word -- God's Hand, Mouth, and Son. If you obey God's Commands, that is obeying God's Word. The Jews believed that God's Commandments lead to eternal life, and they were correct, because as Jesus Christ said, "[...] I know that his commands lead to eternal life. Therefore, everything I do is just as the Father has commanded me." Yet they in so many ways were abhorrently disobedient, to the horror and disgust of all the nations around them. So Jesus Christ himself came in the flesh to them to teach, to clean and to save them. And he deliberately gave his life, only to take it up again, because that is what God commanded him to do. So he interceded for all those who disobey God, to forgive and to bring their hearts over to understanding and heal them through repentance. "Whoever believes in the Son of Man is saved; he has crossed over from death to life." (paraphrased). Normally, a person is either a good person or a bad person and will face the consequences of their actions either way. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." The new Covenant of Jesus Christ's body and blood -- everything he said and did -- is that simply by choosing to listen to God's Living Word and believe in him, you have eternal life, which means you do not go to Hell but go to Heaven to be with Jesus Christ. Otherwise, you either obey God's Commandments and live in Heaven or disobey God's Commandments and die in Hell. That is all spiritually (after the failure of the body). The reason you cross over from death to life is "because I live, you also will live." Your actual life continues beyond failure of the body. So you might say, "Why do I have to believe in Jesus Christ? After all, if I do bad things, I deserve to be punished forever, and if I do good things, I deserve to be rewarded forever." The reason why is because sin has a grip of punishment over you as long as you rely upon your own righteousness -- your own ability and capacity to purity to God. The Source of Purity to God came to save you from that binding slavery to sin or reliance upon yourself and to allow you to literally trust in God's Word instead. "I am God and there is no other savior." You either trust in yourself (a bad investment as anyone can see who has lived at all) or you trust in the Truth. By listening to Jesus Christ's words and understanding that everything he says is true, you can know with certainty that as he said, "Whoever believes in me will not perish but have eternal life." "...Then the truth will set you free." All human beings live and die corporeally, that means that the body is born and the body fails. When the body is born, existence does not begin, because it already exists; likewise, when the body fails, existence does not cease. In the same way, that part of us which is not tied to the body and this planet continues to exist. A person who is willing to believe only what he can see with his eyes worships his eyes and is a fool for blindly believing anything he can see. But belief has context, and he is deceived by his foolishness; for context changes in the mind as a person's perceptions change. So he thinks of his own perceptions as his god, even though they change and are limited to his mind and altered by his physical state of being. So he worships himself. And thus his god dies with him. "I the Lord do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and have not kept my decrees. Return to me and I will return to you. [...] Bring your entire heart before me and I will bless you with more than you know with what to do." (paraphrased). Everything in existence changes, so there is nothing valid to worship besides God who holds Existence within himself, God who is the only one who does not change. We have here the pains of the body and the striving of the soul. The soul continues beyond the pains of the body. Will your soul find what it has been striving to find before the body fails? The mind is designed to answer the question, "What is important?" Thus, you forget what you perceive as unimportant and you seek to remember what you perceive as important. This is all coordinated with the soul, which needs to learn who God is. Why? Because this time is temporary, and the soul continues onwards relevant to eternal life which is "to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." Simply not knowing about something does not prevent its existence just as simply knowing about something does not cause it to exist. Yet this Relativistic dogma prevalent in society since Mussolini claims that you can do whatever you feel like doing. "Whoever does not gather with me, scatters." -- I do not like it when a person is insulting in a desperate attempt to make themselves feel good about themselves. "Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself; whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." "You judge by human standards; I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgment is correct because I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." -- If any one of you wants to believe in Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ will meet you there. -- If God does not love me, then why did he send Jesus Christ? It is because he loves Jesus Christ and because God is Most Generous. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish, but instead have eternal life." God loves Jesus Christ, God is Most Gracious, and God was therefore loving by Commanding Jesus Christ to come and save me. God created me for his own purposes, and that is why I exist. When he is done with me, I am either to be discarded or to go to his throne; if I love who he loves, then I would go to his throne. If I do not love who he loves, then I will be discarded. "I have said that you are gods." We are to be like God by loving who God loves, or else we are to be discarded as ungodly. Is this an act that loves me inherently for who I am? Either I am a good tree or a bad tree, but God only loves Jesus Christ for who he is; "The reason my Father loves me is because I lay down my life, only to take it up again." "Whoever loves me and obeys my Commands will be loved by my Father, even as the Father loves me." A person is valued by God only if they love Jesus Christ and do what he taught. After all, why should God value a bad person? "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but only to those who do his will. No one has heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." These are words of a man who accepted Jesus Christ's love and God's love for himself, even though he was a flawed human being and perhaps still a sinner, and this man was about to declare to Jesus Christ that he believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of Man, the Lord Almighty. And then that man worshiped Jesus Christ at his feet, clearly finding the Truth after being kicked out of the synagogue and ostracized by that community. "For judgement I have come into this world, so that the blind would see and those who see would become blind." Some nearby teachers of the Law said to him, "What is this? Are you claiming that we are blind too?" Jesus replied to them, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim to see, your guilt remains." Jesus Christ knew exactly what would make each person believe in him, but he was on a mission and was interceding on behalf of all mankind, so he did what he needed to do in order to accomplish that mission by God's approval. "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." "I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice. No one can remove them from my Hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." -- I have said, "God loves us all, God Saves is Life!" Jesus Christ is God's Salvation. Jesus, Jeshua, Joshua, means "God Saves". God Saves is Life. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would also know my Father [as well?]. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] The Father is in me and I am in the Father." In prayer to God, Jesus Christ said, "This is eternal life: that they would know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "No one is Good except God alone." Every human being and every living Creature (being who God created) Absolutely Needs Jesus Christ. Deceit desperately tries to make people think that they can do something, or survive, or exist, without even acknowledging Jesus Christ. The Last Day will show who is right. "And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not." Set aside your arrogance. You are not valuable at all, in any way. Neither am I valuable in any way. I am a tool; God makes people all the time and can bring out of dust another more acceptable human being than me at any time. Don't even think about me. Think about Jesus Christ, the only person who is worth thinking about. Either you live in Jesus Christ, or you die. "No branch can survive on its own. Remain in me and I will remain in you." You do that by continuing to believe in Jesus Christ (after all, how difficult is it to continue believing the Absolute Truth? would you like to let the destruction of your body also destroy your soul? that would be the definition of folly. your belief in Jesus Christ should be as long as God lets you exist.) and -- "if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything and I will do it." -- keep Jesus Christ's words in you; simply, exercise obedience to God's Commands as Jesus Christ explained, and keep believing in Jesus Christ even while the entire world and Heaven pass away. But do not rely upon your ability to be faithful to God. Say it with me: "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation." Trust in Jesus Christ, God's only Son who resides with God in Heaven, to be your Righteousness. Trust in Jesus Christ, God's only Son who resides with God in Heaven, to be your Salvation. Does God still save? God still saves. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me [by entrusting me with all your heart, mind, soul and will], and I will return to you." "My Father is always at work, and I am also working." Jesus Christ is saving as God Saves. Whoever believes in him will continue to live after their body fails and will be kept safe and "where I am my servant also will be." -- If everyone did the first sentence at the top of this text file, this world would be devoid of these evils: evil thoughts sexual immorality theft murder adultery greed malice deceit lewdness envy slander arrogance folly There would be none of these interpersonal behaviors: judgmentalism condemnation judging by human standards in service of one's own ego and pleasure hatred anger thinking evil of someone in your heart stealing intent to harm killing war lust lying ignoring people in need arrogance and disrespecting the value of other living beings unfaithfulness and impurity to God: belief that a person can survive without always acknowledging God and obeying Jesus Christ causing problems for people through unnecessary rules of men (expectations, procedures and laws) trusting in people or one's own "power", "strength", capabilities or potential and not trusting in God and Jesus Christ who is Almighty and in control and can do anything forming a lifestyle based upon what people can do rather than what God can do having in mind and serving the interests of men rather than the interests of God focusing on bad things and bad events rather than good things and good events, including flooding with bad news rather than good news All of these things would no longer be present on the Earth if everyone adhered to this simple, self-improving, four-word sentence: Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Fear of "what if" will distract you from trusting God unless you identify it as unacceptable. "Do not worry about your life, about what you eat, or about what you wear. Life is more the food and the body is more than clothing. [...] Which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life or add a cubit to his height? If you cannot do this very little thing, why worry about the rest [larger matters or anything else]?" Are you worried about being misunderstood? Why bother, if you cannot even make anyone understand in the first place? -- When you suffer everything, praise the Lamb. When you cannot do a thing, praise the Lamb. When there's nothing left to say, praise the Lamb. If you open up your mouth, praise the Lamb. When you're suffering the most, praise the Lamb. If the world has gone to Hell, praise the Lamb. If your enemy strikes you, praise the Lamb. When there's nothing left to lose, praise the Lamb. If your life is but a sham, praise the Lamb. When you hate your very life, praise the Lamb. When you recognize the truth, praise the Lamb. When there's nothing left to say, praise the Lamb. If you worship God in truth, praise the Lamb.

Praise to the Lamb of God. Praise to Jesus Christ. Praise God. -- If you want to understand what this situation with [] means, listen to Jesus Christ. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. People are self-absorbed and are only interested in what they can do, therefore they have no understanding of reality. The only way a person can understand anything is if they first acknowledge God as #1. I have helped you a little, but "I am God, and there is no other savior." It is a grand tragedy that people forget "God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways." "As the stars are higher than the Earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and are my ways higher than your ways." If you want to repay me, try to make God happy. "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." Do not rely upon your faithfulness or goodness or obedience, but rely upon God's faithfulness by accepting him (Jesus Christ) as your Righteousness, and also accept him as your Salvation. If you want to repay me, then have in mind God's interests rather than men's interests. "...that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, because in these things I delight." I have done nice things for you, but what is your life to me? The flowers are pleasant to you, but what are their lives to you? "If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you, people of little faith! Therefore, do not worry about your life, or about tomorrow, or about the rest of it. But seek first the Kingdom of God and then everything else you need will also be given to you." Serve the King of Justice by accepting him as your Righteousness; he is Righteousness, which is Faithfulness to God. He is God's Word, and "the Way, the Truth, and the Life". What is your life to me? Serve the Lamb who is Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness freely given to you. "Enter through the small gate. Large is the gate and wide is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God's word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!" Did you plant those flowers in a path or on rocks or among weeds? Since you are so much more valuable than flowers, consider all the more what your situation should be. Do you want to please God and thrive? In order to do so, you need The Bright Morning Star. "...because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But by standing firm, you will gain life." Doors that open wide close hard. "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.' Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then." Do not be angry at the people around you. "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you." At the end of the age, the Son of Man will send out his angels who will weed out of his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. Those will be thrown into the fiery furnace and the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Stay away from abusive situations. Don't even talk to them, because they will not listen, and you will again end up blaming yourself for the guilt of others. -- Faith Brings Domestic and Emotional Tranquility: Trust God and Not Man This brief essay will contain multiple assertions and a single request. Assertions and requests can be implied. Emotion is a result of multiple assertions and/or requests. If you want to avoid emotion, identify the involved assertions and requests and explain them if necessary. A friend in Romania has been telling me about several of her problems, including how she suffers abuse from family members and how she cannot work due to bigotry and psychological adversity in the workplace in Belgium. She heard a radio broadcast from the Romanian Orthodox Church where the speaker was essentially blaming the victim. This caused her to feel even more alienated. I helped her and gave her what she asked for -- to serve Justice -- and when she was trying to determine how to thank me, I told her that she could thank me by accepting Jesus Christ as her Righteousness and Salvation. The following is what I said to her about her adverse situations, and I mention this for your benefit also, because I and people I know experience painful adversity daily, and this "medication" helps me because my intercessor is the only Savior and, as Justice, annuls harm; because the world cannot accept the solution to all its problems, Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble: "I have told you these things so that in me you may have Peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But have courage, because I have overcome the world." This message is also for those of you who have ever suffered injury or sickness and yet still imply the assertion that you are trustworthy. Is mortality an insufficient reminder of weakness before the Almighty? Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the Source of Purity who is Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness in the flesh, even solved our problem of mortality by giving us eternal life through himself. Domestic and emotional violence occurs because people fail to truly accept Jesus Christ as their Righteousness and Salvation. As Jesus Christ explained, if you trust God and not Man, you will also not accept judgments of man who judges by human standards in an attempt to please himself rather than God... Bad results occur when you trust that which is not trustworthy. For example, whoever breaks an ankle and proceeds to stomp on the floor with that foot is in for a fool's awakening to their own weakness. Similarly is death a fool's awakening to weakness they had a lifetime to solve, but the world refuses to accept the answer because people want to delude themselves with thoughts of self-pleasing "strength". There is only one Strength; everything else is relative Weakness. This message is also for those of you who trust in weapons or force or society (numbers) or anything else that is not actually trustworthy as a source of protection and safety. You can trust in weapons, such as guns. "Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." Anyone who has ever been shot by a gun can testify that guns are not trustworthy. This message is also for those of you who trust in your mind, your understanding, and everything else that changes. Do you build a house on quicksand or on an ocean so that it sinks when its foundation has moved? Over the course of a lifetime, comprehension, physical state, and yes, even the entire planet and solar system and galaxy are all moving, from the scale of large down to the scale of small. "I the Lord do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed." God holds Existence in himself, and he has set everything as dynamic. "God alone is Good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." The simple fact that God does not change and that God alone is Absolutely Good should define to every sane mind that God is the only one who is actually trustworthy. And Jesus Christ as the Source of Purity to God and as the Teacher taught us, "Trust in God. Trust also in me." He mentioned nothing else to trust, because "at the end of the day", as the saying goes, you go to your god: either to the grave or to Life. If you trust in something that changes, you trust in something that perishes, and the final destination of that also becomes your final destination. Bad results occur when you trust that which is not trustworthy. ----- You want to control your situation and to help yourself. However, you realize that you cannot, and that you are powerless. You therefore have two options: 1) Continue blaming yourself and feeling guilty or blaming others and being angry at them as a form of compensation so you can feel like you can do something to affect anything at all. 2) Understand that God is in Control. Trust God and have faith in Jesus Christ. "Well do I know your suffering." "Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place will you build me, or where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things?" "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you. [...] [Bring before me all your heart, mind, soul, and will, and entrust all you are to my care.] Test me in this, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing upon you that you will not know what to do with it all. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and [vines/weeds will not hinder your efforts]. Then all the nations will call you blessed, because yours will be a delightful land. Even your entire country is under a curse because you rebel against me." (circa Malachi 3). The reason you are so influenced by self-blame is because you feel out of control and accusations make you feel like you have the capability to change something about your situation -- but Satan means "accuser", and Jesus Christ commanded, "Do not judge. Do not condemn. Forgive." Stop accepting harmful accusations and open your eyes to the fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Clothe yourself with Jesus Christ who is Righteousness, and someday I will meet you in the Peace that only Jesus Christ gives: "Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God. Trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there to be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. [...] I am the way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [The Father is in me, and I am in the Father.] [...] All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish; by standing firm, you will gain life. [...] All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. [...] I give you my Peace. [My Grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness.] I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where he is going. Put your faith in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." Do not even talk to people who accuse you or are otherwise bearing bad fruit: "Leave them; they are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Let God sort them out, because "whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." "I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge. I tell you the truth, whoever believes [accepts my words and believes the one who sent me] has eternal life and will never die." "This is eternal life: that they would know you, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." If you defend yourself before the blind or haughty or arrogant, you will only cause them harm, because, "You have only one Father, and he is in Heaven, and you have only one Teacher, the Christ." "Do not think that I have come to bring peace (consensus) on the Earth. I did not come to bring peace (consensus), but a sword (division). From now on, there will be 'two in one house divided against each other: father against mother, sister against brother, father-in-law against mother-in-law, daughter against mother, son against father, [etc.]. A man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' [cited from one of the prophets]" So the short answer is, if you truly want to get better, trust no one except God and Jesus Christ. I have not been to church for months, but I often lock my door and kneel and pray to Jesus Christ who is in Heaven, because I only accept him as my master. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." -- If other people reject me and the joy that God provides, I will simply move along and be happy on my own. In the same way, it is useless to be willing to let the misery and irresponsibility of others hurt you. "Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. The moth will eat them up like a garment and the worm will devour them like wool. But my Salvation will endure for all generations, and my Righteousness will never end." That's something to think about while sewing! -- When I was pursuing my master's degree, I had to set aside all other interests and focus on that -- and in the mean time, I had a single creative hobby, writing music on staff paper. Even then, I didn't have enough time to sufficiently consider the work I was doing. I was adamant about giving proper consideration to the workload, so I didn't complete one of the courses. And that incomplete status was the reason why I did not fulfill my degree requirements! I demand certainty about what I write, even if it makes me fail in the context. To merely say what others have said is foofaraw without certainty of its truth and validity. That's how I deny manipulations of me that I can mitigate. The purpose of the brain is to learn and adhere to what is important. The values of men are not important, but that is all men teach you. So what is their heart set upon? It is set upon what they can do. Look at all the questions online starting with, "How do I?" and "How can I?" and variations thereof, such as "How to...". Does anyone even ask why anymore? -- I am copy/pasting something I did not write here for you to test. This comment appears anonymously posted at this web site: http://www.preteristarchive.com/StudyArchive/f/false-prophets.html I think that it has some merit, however, I would advise the following: - Fear God, as Jesus Christ explained. - Do not think about Satan, as Jesus Christ explained that the Devil is the "father of lies" and lying is the Devil's native language. So in the same way as Jesus Christ explained, "the eye is the lamp of the body", do not think about the evil one, but instead think about God who "alone is good". - Know already that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. That means obviously that Jesus Christ's words are worth listening to, and others' words are not worth listening to but should be recognized as true or false based upon Truth. Once you know the Truth, you are wasting your time by listening to blind men, because the Truth is who sets a person free from slavery to sin. - "My Kingdom is not of this world." This person uses brackets to emphasize surrounded words. - Date: 11 Sep 2010 Time: 17:19:06 Your Comments: I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Is. 43:15. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sittteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2Thess. 2:3,4. Both, the bible and the qur'an suggests that their God is the only God, for there is none beside them. See Is. 45:5, "There is no God Beside me" and Surah 3:2, "There is no God beside Allah". (Note: unlike the bible, the qur'an is only one book, with many chapter and verses, called "Surah". Herein, references to the verses, or "Surah" in the qur'an will have a S. before the numbers). The name "Allah" is believed to have come from the old name for God, i.e., "El", or "Elohim". The name "Allah" literally mean "is God" in Arabic. However, the politically correct idea that the God of the bible may be the same being as the Allah of the qur'an causes much deception, and confusion. The Qur'an claims that Allah is the true God of all the characters of the bible, i.e., all the prophets, Moses, Elijah, etc., even Jesus, S. 2:136. The qur'an suggests that all were originally Muslims, until the Jews and Christians lied and had become "infidel", or unfaithful. S.6:83-91. The qur'an even claims that Allah, and not jehovah, is the true power behind the miracles of Jesus. S. 5:110. However, Allah denies ever having any son. S. 19:34,35. Muslims are taught that Jews and Christians are pagans for believing that Jesus is the son of God. S. 17:40. The qur'an also teaches that Allah, and not jehovah, is the true author of the laws of Moses and the gospel intended by Jesus, before the Jews and Christians lied against Islam. S. 3:3. And that Jesus was originally a messenger of Islam, and not Christianity. S. 4:171. Islam, however, refuses to respect the name "Jesus" , so instead, Jesus is referred to as "Isa". Allah has pronounced curses upon the Children of Israel. S.5:78, as well as the Jews and Christians. S. 9:30 The qur'an compels [all] Muslims to warfare against [all] non-believers. S. 8:15,16, S.9:29. And to "seize and slaughter them without mercy". S. 33:61 It is Allah who does the fighting. Therefore, it is Allah who commands the sacrifices of his martyrs, in suicide. S.2:54, S. 3:140-143, S. 4:66. Allah will punish those who refuse to fight for him. S. 9:39. Muslims are not to be friends with Jews and Christians. S. 5:51. Unbelievers are "open enemies". S. 4:101. Muslims are tricked into the idea of suicide as martyrdom. They are taught, by the qur'an, not to believe in any non-believers of the qur'an. S. 3:73, 118. Nor listen to them, but "strive against them, with the utmost strenuousness, with the qur'an". S. 25:52. Terrorism is an act of righteousness and loyalty to Allah. People ignorantly believe that the qur'an is not that much different than the bible, in terms of the Old Testament wars. However, there are no amendments to the laws of the qur'an, as there are in the bible's New Testament . Such as Mt. 5: 21-48, etc. People are deceived into believing that Islam is a tolerant religion, and that the "radicals" merely take the qur'an out of context. However, the qur'an stand as is. The only misinterpretation of the qur'an is made by those who have not actually read the qur'an. Muslims just pretend to be misunderstood, not unlike spitting in your face and then convince you that it is only the rain. The Isamic stratagem is the deception that the "Muslims" are divided between the "radicals" and the "moderates". However, the truth is that a supporter of a doctrine is still a supporter of that doctrine. Muslims use our sense of civil liberties against us. After all, "moderates" are protected by our ideal religious freedom, and anti-religious discrimination. Nevertheless, if a satanic religion supports the idea of human sacrifice, we would not hesitate to condemn them, and their idea, whether they actual perform sacrificial rituals themselves or not. "Moderates" support the doctrine that the "radicals" actually perform. People need to read the qur'an for themselves, rather than have a Muslim, or supporter of Islam, read it for them and then tell us what it all means. Contrary to the belief of most Christians, the bible does not forbid us from reading the qur'an, or any other scriptures outside of the bible. To understand an enemy, we must first identify the enemy, and what drives their animosity. It is doubtful that Jesus meant that we should love our enemies by such behavior as allowing a rapist to continue their sin just because God, of the bible, loves the sinner. Both "moderates" and "radicals" are doing exactly as the qur'an commands, i.e., manipulate society by being perpetrators pretending to be victims. Notice how Islam has the religious right to insult Christianity anyway they see fit, though Christians are condemn to death, even if we [accidently] offend them? The civil liberties, by use of the court system, under the guise of religious freedom, is the tool that the "beast" uses to receive his authority to overcome the saints. Dan. 7:25, Rev. 13:7. The manipulation of civil rights, and the freedom of religion, is how he deceives and hides his destructive presence. Also, notice that while other religions increase their rights, and more people sympathize with Islam, Jews and Christians are declining in rights. Religious rights apply to Jews and Christians less and less, while Islam receives more and more. The qur'an is the base of Islam, as the bible is the base of Christianity. It is unrealistic to surmise that we can separate the qur'an from Islam, as the bible cannot be separated from Christianity. To accurately understand the [true] position of Islam, without so much ignorance, one MUST read the pages of the qur'an for themselves. A big deception of people's belief about Islam is that Islam is not a religion at war with the world, per se. However, terrorism is the world war three of Revelations! This war is not with the flesh, but rather with the principalities and powers. Eph. 6:12. A military tactic of bloodshed will not work against a religious doctrine. The body can only defeat the body, but the mind must be the instrument to defeat the mind. The qur'an itself is the doctrine, and philosophy, of Islam. Islam teaches that " when the words of the qur'an are fulfilled against the unbelievers, Islam will produce from the earth a beast to face them". S. 27:82, Rev. 13:11. A mark of Allah is on their face and forehead. S. 48:29. A deception of the false prophets has always been to convince people that the 666 mark of the beast is some birth mark, tattoo, purchase bar code, or "spy chip", under the skin. It never occurred to them that it could also be on their clothes, bandana, or gloves. However, the truth is that 666 is the number of a man. Rev. 13:18. Everyone who receives the mark will know exactly what it is. It is a mark that an army has on their forehead. Rev.19:19. Similar to the army of the 144,000. Rev. 14:1. Yes, the 144,000 is an "army" of the lamb. Rev. 19:13,14. No, 666 is not the number of people in the army of the beast, but rather the [meaning] of his name. Contrary to the deception of many false prophets, 144,000 virgin men are not the only people to be saved. There will be a far greater number of people to be saved. Rev. 7:9-14. There are no surprises in receiving the marks, of God or the beast. The marks are like flags, or insignias. The false prophets love to distract people, and cause people to look in the wrong direction; to guess the meanings of the Revelations of God. With their analytical fabrications of such musings , they have most people expecting the beast to come out of Rome, or the "European Union", etc. They will have people believe that the 666 is some Roman Emperor, pope, Hitler, or U.S. president. These false prophets blind people by re-interpreting what God has already revealed. They will tell you that the bible is full of hidden codes, and secret mysteries, that only they have the wisdom to decipher. Actually, the true secret is that there is no secret. Isa. 45:19, 2Pet. 1:19,20. God means what He says and says what He means, In His revelations. Prov. 30:5,6 and Rev. 22:6. God keeps no secrets from [anyone], and that includes all the world. Mk. 4:22, Rom. 10:18. A false prophet does not really take God at His word. They pretend that the Word of God is still symbolic. The true prophets of God, including Daniel and St. John, had fully understood the words of God. And had described His words in accordance with their own familiarity. They had no fear of revealing what God had commissioned them to reveal. Isa. 46:10, Isa. 48:16. Everything that has been previously sealed in Daniel 12:9 has been unsealed in Revelations 22:10. All the Symbols and "parables" , and prophecies, have been interpreted by the bible [revealed Word of God] itself. Rom. 16:25,26. So, now when the bible says that a "horn" is symbolic for "king", Rev. 17:12, etc., that is exactly what it means. If there are any true secrets, they belong unto the LORD GOD, but that which is revealed belong unto us, Deut. 29:29, so that we may actually [know] the revealed words of God, and not have to guess. The bible was intended to be the [revealed] words of God! To [truly] understand the revelations, or revealed words of God, is to accept what He has revealed. And to understand that St. John, of Revelations, knew the difference between Rome and Babylon. He would not have hidden Rome behind the phantasms of Babylon, in his [revealing] of God's words. Babylon had still existed at the time of 1Pet. 5:13. The false prophets misdirect people to look in the wrong direction, or place. They have re-defined the word "Babylon" from a location to a lustful behavior. That is how they have convinced most people that the term "Babylon" is symbolic for Rome. The Euphrates River should have made it obvious as to where Babylon is actually located. Rev. 9:14. The Euphrates River runs through Babylon, and not even near Rome. All of Revelations will take place within the immediate area, as they will be gathered into one place, and not shift from actual Babylon to Rome. The rationalization that "Armageddon" means "Har-megiddo" is a misdirection of the false prophets, as well. They say that the word "Har" means "hill". However, if the "Armageddon" of Revelations is on a hill people would not be gathered [into] it, but rather [onto] it. The logic that "Armageddon" is the location of "Har-megiddo" is because the two words sound so similar. Similarity is a crafty tool of the false prophets to manipulate their deceptive interpretations. Actually, "megiddo" is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, see Josh. 17:11, Judg. 1:27, Judg. 5:19, 2Kgs. 9:27, 1Chr. 7:29, 2Chr. 35:22. Since the word "Armageddon" is a Hebrew word, and has not been translated into English, for the English bible, the same word would be in the New and Old Testament. Either, both would be "Armageddon" or "Har- megiddo". Nevertheless, "Armageddon" is not truly the same as "Har-megiddo". Of course, now people mostly consider "Armageddon" as an event in time, rather than its intended definition of a location. The false prophets use the same manipulation as they use to misdirect people from the true location of Babylon, by re-defining the original term. Originally, "Armageddon" was a name of a cemetery for soldiers, similar to the "Arlington National Cemetery". "Ar-ma-ged'don" literally means "garden of armies". Only the enemies of God will be gathered [into] Armageddon. They will intend to fight against Israel, not each other. Rev. 20:8,9. Afterward, the place will be called "the Valley of Ha'mon-gog". Ezek. 39:11. Such revisions of the revealed words if God, by the false prophets, have even tricked people to believe that the "beast", or 666 of Rev. 13:18, was Nero Caesar, (37-68, A. D.); by some numerical/alphabetical manipulations. And that the "abomination of desolations", in Mt. 24:15, is the statue of Nero. Now, since Nero has been long since dead, the false prophets prejudice anyone in Rome, the Catholic Church, or any political figure in Europe and the United States. These false prophets are very knowledgeable "evangelist", that's how they come as the angels of light. Their trick is to take the revealed words of God out of context, and then tell you that it is a hidden coded interpretation that God had only revealed to them. For Example; They will confuse people by such terms as the "Temple" , by twisting the definition to be a symbol for the "body" when the bible is trying to tell you something about the actual "Temple of Jerusalem". The truth is that the body as a temple is the body as a temple. However, the Temple of Jerusalem is the Temple of Jerusalem. Another point taken out of context is the idea that one day is symbolic for a thousand years, and a thousand years is a day, in biblical code. Actually, 2Pet. 3:8 was teaching about patience. This was not meant to be a standard code of biblical time, or else Jesus would not have risen for three thousand years, and would only reign for one day. God understand our sense of time. Ps. 37:18. God, Himself, can walk through any time He wants, however, time that has been written in the bible, His revealed words, is more accurate than the "decoders" will have us believe. The false prophets use this coded time in accordance with their own convenience. As they also interpret the seventy weeks, as in Dan.9:24, as only seventy years. It would seem that four hundred and ninety thousand years would be too long for their purpose of manipulation? Also, Ezek. 4:6 was only a practical measure for Ezekiel to suffer a day for every year of captivity. This was not meant to be a standard code of biblical time, either. However, a day could be a thousand years or one year, or a week could be ten years, depending upon the convenience of the false evangelist's message. These false prophets also want us to believe that the "elect", or followers of Christ, will completely avoid the "tribulation", by the taking out of context the term [out of] as to mean to "rapture" before the tribulation even begins. It should be obvious that to [come out] of something one must first be [into] whatever one comes [out of]. Actually, Jesus said that "immediately after the tribulation" that He would gather His elect. Mt. 24:29-31. He also said that "But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be save". Mt. 24:13. If the elected, or saved, are to completely avoid the tribulation, there wouldn't be anything to endure. Rev. 3:10 means to keep us from temptation, not tribulation. So, what is the "abomination of desolation"? The abomination of desolation already stands in the "holy place, where it aught not"! People just have not realized what they are looking at, yet. The first "beast", Rev. 13:1, is actually an empire, or dominion, Dan. 7:12. A commonwealth of leaders, or [acting] kings. Rev. 17:5,18. Contrary to the false prophet's prejudice, the seven churches are not part of this empire. The location of Babylon is in the Islamic community, not the Jewish or Catholic communities. This "empire" is one "king" ruling over ten "kings", or "king of kings". Rev. 17:11,12 and Dan.2:37. These are "kings", or considered "royals", not presidents or prime ministers. Kings are not elected by vote, nor are they appointed. This could no longer be in the future of Rome. The "daughter of Babylon", Jer. 51:33, is the revival of the Babylonian empire, not the Roman empire. Since the first "beast" is an empire, Rev. 13:12, it was an empire that had suffered the deadly wound, Jer. 51:,8, and not just one man. The false prophets continue, even today, to suggest that it was Nero Caesar who had suffered the deadly wound. The "dragon" will heal the Babylonian empire, as a shadow version of its former glory, which will be called "great". Rev. 18:2. The ancient Babylonian empire was never referred to as "great". Is. 21:9. Those who confuse the Roman empire as a symbol for a modern day Babylon, Jer. 5:31, keep people blinded to the real royal harlot, "mystery"! Rev. 17:5. The one world religious domination will be under the Islamic, "Sharia", law, and not the Catholic, Latin, law. The second "beast", Rev. 13:11, is a civil rights manipulator. Dan. 7:25. Religious rights, other than Christianity, is how this "beast" deceives , and "intoxicates", Christians, with his politically correct manipulations, to fornicate with Islam, and other religions. Rev. 17:2. He convinces people that the God of the bible is the same as Allah of the qur'an. And that [all] religions lead to the same God, albeit, with a different name. However, gasoline and water are not the same just because they are both liquid. Neither is God, of the bible, the same as Allah, just because they both claim the same holy land, and characters. However, the bible tells us to love our enemies, the qur'an tells the Muslim to kill theirs. The real position of the second "beast" is to change the laws, in favor of Islam and against Christianity, under the guise of religious right. Contrary to popular belief, and the deception by the false prophets, this second "beast" is not in the White House, or Wall Street. Nor is he in the "European Union". Most likely he can be found in the "Civil Liberties Union"! He is not a "Muslim", per se. However, his manipulations will support the Islamic "Sharia", or imperial order. Rev. 13:12. When Islam has positioned all their "Mosques" in every sovereign land, the rights of Christianity will more rapidly decrease! It should be obvious that it has already begun, in Europe and the United States?? Islam [will] overcome Christianity, by the authority of the court rules, Rev. 13:7, until Jesus overturns their ruling, Himself. Rev. 17:14. The "great harlot" who "sits on many waters", Rev. 17:1, is Babylon, who sits on many peoples of the earth. Rev. 17:5, 15. The false prophets misinterpret this "sitting on many waters" description to mean an island. Thus, convincing people that Rome, as an island, sitting in the middle of a large body of actual water. The "seven mountains" are not actually in Rome either. The seven kings are part of these "seven mountains". Rev. 17:9,10. There will not be any seven kings, or emperors, coming out of any mountain, or seven different mountains, in Rome. The "seven heads", or "mountains", are not positioned the same as the ten kings, or "horns", upon the "heads". The seven kings are emperors, reigning one after the other. The ten kings are all subordinate to one emperor, at the same time. "Mt. Babylon", or "Hilla babil", is on the real seven mountains, near the Euphrates River. Jer. 51:25. The ten kings will shortly turn against the one emperor. Rev. 17:16. Rome does not, and will not, have five fallen emperors, or kings when this empire, or "dominion", rises. Nor will Rome ever have, or had, ten kings temporarily subordinate to one emperor. The false prophets will also have people believe that there is only one "anti-Christ", carrying the supreme 666 identification. Actually, there are many "anti-Christ". 1Jn. 2:18. Any religion or person who acts, speaks, or preaches, anything against Christ, or Christians is obviously an "anti-Christ". However, the false prophets continue, even today, to fabricate the identity of this 666 "anti-Christ", by the manipulations of the Greek, Roman, or other alphabet. Some still believe that the 666 identifies the Roman emperor Nero, by some numerical/alphabetical comparison, though Nero has been long dead, since the first century. The false prophets also manipulate the predictions of the end of the world, or "armageddon". Their current "doomsday clock" is set for December 21, 2012, (12-21-12). Now, they come by this date simply because the Mayans ended their calendar at that time. And when this date fails to end the world, or start "armageddon", the next date may be 10-20-30, and so on. Whatever number sounds supportive to their imaginations. Actually, the prediction of "doomsday" should not really be the concern of the true Christian. We are to live each day as our last, on earth, and appreciate every day that God does allow us. The grace of God is unfathomable! Thus, a thousand years, is as one day, and a day is as a thousand years, to God. God is not in a hurry to punish people. Nor is he slacking in those who need punishment. Only God knows when the world is ready to end. All assumed predictions are the imaginations of the false prophets. Contrary to popular belief, the 666 is not encoded in Greek, Roman, or English, but rather Arabic. Unlike English, Arabic names have meaning. If English names were given like Arabic names, a "john", for example, would mean a "toilet", or a prostitution's customer, etc. The [name] for 666, however, [means], "I AM GOD", Is. 47:8,10, or "El-Ahmad", in Arabic. The name means the same as the identity. Though Nero Caesar may have pretended to be [a god], his name had no meaning. Nor has anyone else's name had such a meaning thereafter, who wished he was a god. These others may have pretended to be [a god], but not [the God]. The Arabic meaning for "I am" also means "Messiah"! The name is already on their foreheads, clothes, and names, like a flag of identity. Have you ever wondered why most "Muslims" are required to attach some variation of "Al-lah", or "Muhammad" to their names, especially those that had been identified as terrorists?? The idea of not being able to buy or sell only applies to those who already worship the "beast". Those who do not worship the beast is ordered to be killed., by "sharia law". Rev. 13:15. Dead people can't buy or sell, anyway! There is a word for this buying and selling, called "trade". It is the intent of Islam to destroy world trade. The destruction of the "World Trade Center" was a major victory, and set a hallmark for Islam, which validated the cause of Allah. The "moderates" celebrate in secret. It is pure ignorance to believe that the "radicals" are merely some poor and ignorant desert dwellers. They are supported by the "moderates", that our civil rights protect. Real prophecy is inevitable, because the people who may affect the "fork" of prophecy are too asleep to take heed of the warning signs to prevent the event. However, the false prophets perpetuates this sleepiness by analyzing prophecy to the extreme, and pretend to find hidden meaning, that God did not actually intend, in His Revelations. They even pretend to find hidden codes in scriptures that had predicted 9/11, Hitler, etc., only after the event had already occurred. Their analysis is merely "pseudo-scientific"! How do we spot these "false prophets? A modern day false prophet is [anyone] who prophecies falsely, whether ignorantly or knowingly. Mostly, a false prophet, we now call "evangelist", today. So, essentially, a false prophet could be also a false evangelist. These false ones are like comedians, they love to crack jokes, or poke fun at other people's ignorance, or weaknesses. They always mock those that they perceive as foolish, especially other Christians, that they want you to believe are not really Christians. They are highly animated, to the point of exaggeration, while running around the stage convincing people that they are happier than everyone else. They pretend that it is the movement of the holy spirit. However, the [real] holy spirit is not actually happy about the ignorance of anyone! Some false prophets, or "evangelists" may even do back flips on the television stage to prove that he can do what most unhealthier people can't do. They may even condemn, with pure righteous hatred on their face, a celebrity for wearing a precious crucifix between filthy silicone breast. Or condemn another for not wearing any panties, that a paparazzi took a sneak peak photo of. Some may even abuse the name of Jesus, by chanting "in the name of Jesus", to fix a leaky roof. These examples have actually happened on television. Television is infested with these modern day false prophets, we call "televangelist". These "televangelists" are arrogant, by the perpetual boasting of their extensive knowledge, and study, of the bible, as if a hundred thousand hours of study - or equivalent to eleven years of a straight twenty-four hours - makes them wiser than others who has not had so much study. They always act wiser than others! However, a truly wise person will take God's revelations at His word. A false prophet re-interprets what God has already interpreted. When God reveals Babylon, and the false prophet interprets Babylon for Rome, then He is not accepted at His word. The names may change but the geography does not. Babylon is located inside Iraq, not Rome. The false prophets are the cause of much confusion, and why people see much contradiction in the bible. They wave the bible around and say "This is what God says", etc., when God did not say it like that. Ezek. 13:6,7. Another erroneous idea people make is the mistaken belief that God is no longer provoked to anger, as He was provoked in the days of the judges, and that He is willing to lie with other gods, and their religions. It is ignorance to believe that God actually supports the ideal religious liberties for a "melting pot" of religions, as if He would ever hold hands with Allah, or any other god. Judges 2:2,3. God will not share His glory with any other god, including Allah. Is. 48:11. As then as now, they are all thorns, and a snare, to [all] of us. Deut. 7:16. We serve other gods by allowing their religious freedom into our lands. People don't want to seem prejudice against Islam, however, you can't [truly] serve the father, God, of Jesus Christ with a covenant of religious rights to Allah, and Islam. Ex. 23:32,33. We are falling into false compassion for these other gods, through their worshippers, as the Children of Israel had done when entering Canaan, by allowing the Canaanites to continue their religious practices in Jerusalem. Judges 1:21,27-36. The Palestinians won't be satisfied with re-possessing Gaza. Judges 1:18. They won't even be satisfied with the re-possession of Jerusalem and the total destruction of the Children of Israel. The "politically correct" idea is the reason that Jesus has to rule with a rod of iron. Rev. 19:15. People will war with the [true] Christ, because they will think that He is violating the rights of religious liberties. A crafty manipulation of the false prophets are to deceive people about the true identity of the upcoming "one world religion" of the 666 beast. People falsely believe that the Roman empire and the Catholic Church are the same entity. Nor is the "beast" instantly created at the moment it rises from the sea. The religion of the "beast" has been in existence all the way back to the time of Canaan, when the Children of Judah first captured Jerusalem. Judges 1:8. That is why Islam has been fighting to get Jerusalem back ever since. They already have Gaza back, which also validated the cause of Allah. The religion of Islam actually come from "Ba'alim", (teachings of Ba'al). However, Muhammad had merely renamed it "Ta'alim", (teachings of Allah). Israel can never make peace with Islam. Nor will God ever hold hands with Allah, or the "beast"! The main purpose of the false prophets is to distract, and confuse, people to what is [really] important, and to what is actually happening in the world. They preoccupy people's minds with prejudice towards things like the names of the days, weeks and months, as well as holidays and birthdays. They attack the innocence of children, as most holidays and birthdays are designed for children. They also may condemn your choice of "Sabbath day" observance, i.e., Saturday or Sunday. Some churches even believe that the day you go to church identifies you of whether you have the mark of God or the "beast". All such prejudicial hatred is a false prophet distraction, supported by their pseudo-science! Actually, St. Paul advises us not to let anyone judge what we eat, drink, or in respect to an holyday, new moon, or the Sabbath Days. Col. 2:16. Holidays, or holydays, were intended to help people remember events. Ex. 12:14, Luke 22:19. We are a forgetful people! Without holidays, we are more likely to forget. However, one does not need to condemn Easter just because someone else observes it differently. Nor do we have to forsake celebrating the Passover, and the last supper, and resurrection of Jesus, just because a rabbit is playing hide and seek with eggs on that day. Neither, the birth of Jesus just because a fat man in a red suit is dropping present down a chimney. They also like to play a debate on when Jesus was actually born. They will convince you that the "winter Solstice" is the season of the Devil. The "winter solstice" is around December 21. The actual date is not as important as the remembrance of the birth of Christ. It is doubtful that anyone truly knows the actual date of His birth, or even King Herod would not have had to guess, around two years. Mt. 2:16. The shepherds did not practice the Christmas celebration on the same day that they saw the star. They had a lot of traveling around to do before they actually got to the manger, i.e., to see Herod, etc. The Christmas ceremony! was begun, and traditionalized, by the actions of the shepherds. Back in those days, birthdays were very important, especially for one born to be a king. A tool of the false prophet manipulation is the use of sounding similarities. For example, they will convince, those who do not know the [real] truth, that "Easter" had originally come from some Semitic god, called "Astarte", from Babylon. And that the bunny and the egg hunt is some fertility ritual. Actually, "Easter" was so called for the fourth day of the "week of unleavened bread". Ex. 12:18 and Acts 12:3,4. Jesus so happened to be resurrected on the fourth day of the "week of unleavened bread"! The bunny and the egg hunt actually comes from Old Celtic England, not Babylon. And the hunt was a fortune ritual, not fertility. Only later did people associate the "sex like a rabbit" to symbolize excessive reproduction. If people are taught a lie long enough, the lie seems to be the truth, especially to those who believe the lie. Nevertheless, it is the children who usually hunt the eggs, and are condemned for playing the game, by the false prophets. Many of the pagan games had been adopted to the Christian holidays, to attract conversion of the Celts to Christianity. Also, Santa Clause comes from right here in the United States. Birthdays just count the years of one's life. These holidays are essentially harmless. However, these false prophets will terrorize you to believe that holidays are the works of the Devil. They also prejudice the names of the week and months, to keep people preoccupied. They will say that the names of the days of the week and months are named after gods and Caesars, like Saturn, Thor, and July and August. Actually, the origin of naming the days and months had nothing to do with gods, or Caesars. The days and months were originally named for the number and seasons. For example, "Saturday" was originally called "Septa-day", Latin for "seventh-day". However, it became spelled "Satur-day" because of the English accent. It had nothing to do with "Satur(n), a Roman god. Also, "Odin", "Thor", "Freya", etc., are Norse gods. The Norse people had nothing to do with naming the days of the week, i.e., Wednes-day, Thurs-day, Fri-day. The spelling, and pronunciation, of the days and months are an English modification, from the Latin calendar. Besides, to have a "Thor's day", etc., the day would have to be in accordance with the worship of that god. None of the gods, that the false prophets suggest, are worshipped every seven days. Nor have they ever been worshipped every seven days, anywhere. So, they could not have a special day every week! The false prophets even rationalize that "Wednes-day" is named after "Wodin", English for "Odin". Actually, there is no such god as "Wodin". The name "Wodin" is a modern fabrication that comes from a neo-Nazi acronym, "W.O.T.A.N., meaning, "Will Of The Aryan Nation". The word "Wednes" (Wenz) is actually an Old Celtic word for "middle", or "between". Nevertheless, if Sunday or Monday were named for gods, it would be having the name of that god, e.g., "Ra-day", etc. Mostly, sun gods were worshipped three time a day, i.e., sunrise, zenith, and sunset. No religion has ever worshipped the sun only once a week. Sunday was not always the first day of the week. Even today, we still refer to Sunday as the "week end". "Monday" was meant as "Mono", meaning "one", not "moon". The moon is mostly significant for observers every full moon, and new moon, which is every fourteen to twenty-nine days, not seven days. The word "month" comes from "moon". The months were originally named for their number and seasons. For example, September, October, November, and December, are Latin words for seven, eight, nine, and ten. March had been the first month of the calendar year, before it had been changed to January. Not always did months have thirty to thirty-one days, as they do now. Then, the "new moon" was just as important to mark the beginning of the month as the Sabbath day had marked the end of the week. Is. 66:23. That is why they are so frequently mentioned together throughout the bible. God did set the lights of the sun and moon for signs and seasons, as well as to mark the days and years. Gen. 1:14-18. The month name of "August" is an Old English word meaning "harvest", and did not originally have anything to do with Caesar Augustus. However, if "July" and "August" had been named after Julius Caesar, and Augustus Caesar, as the false prophets would want you to believe, the arrogance of these Caesars would have made their respective namesake month first of the calendar year, and not six or eight. At no time in history had August, or July, been the first month of the year, in any calendar. Actually, "Gaius Julius Octavianus", 63 B. C. -14 A.D., became to be [so-called] "Augustus Caesar", in 27 B.C., as a title, to mean "more than human". However, "Augustus" actually comes from a Latin adjective "Augere", meaning "to make greater". The difference of pronunciation between the name of "August" to "Augustus" is "Awe-gist" to "Uh-gust-us". Or "July" to "Julius" is "Jew-lie" to "Jew-lee-us". Actually, these are two different words, with similar spelling. Back then, words were determined by the sound, and not how it was spelled. The pronunciation is what makes a word, more so than the spelling. For example, the spelling of the name "Jesus" could either be pronounced "Jeez-us" or "Hay-zeus". It is obvious, by the sound, that these two names are not the same, though they are spelled the same. Humanity had learned to communicate with sound long before spelling. 'To say that "August" is named after "Augustus", and "July" is named after "Julius" is not unlike saying that "Ravens" are named after "Reeves", and "Mommy" is named after "Mummy". The false prophets would find some correlation between these two, if they can fabricate a purpose for doing so. They will also manipulate the encyclopedia, and modify it to the eleventh edition, to convince you of their evidence, written in the very encyclopedia they had modified. It is actually a sin to edit (add & subtract) the words of God. Rev. 22:18 and Prov. 30:6. All of the modified versions, or re-visions, of the words of God were never necessary. Contrary to people's belief, these newly revised versions were not made to make the words of God easier to read, and understand, but rather makes it easier to deceive, and confuse. That is why the Devil can use the bible as well as any one, Christian or otherwise. The words of God are the words of God, and needs no modifications. Also, the words of God were never meant to be a code to break, as these false prophets pretend that only they have the spiritual fortitude to unravel such coded mysteries. They will convince the unwary that you can't comprehend the bible unless you have the Holy Spirit apprising you to agree with their proposed interpretations Just because people perform miracles, even in the name of "Jesus", does not mean that they are actually following Jesus. Mt. 7:22. "Workers of iniquity" also includes those who "decode" what God has already revealed, as well as those who think they are casting out demons, and doing wonderful works, in the name of Jesus. Jesus had given [everyone] permission to use His name, whether they follow Him or not. Mk. 9:38,39. So, Just because someone uses the name of Jesus is no real evidence that they are true followers of Jesus. The {name} of "Jesus", itself, is power! False prophets, and false Christ, also come in the name of Jesus, Luke 21:8, as well as perform miracles. Mt. 24:24. That is how people are deceived into believing that the false prophets, and false Christ, are the true representatives of God. Jesus had said, many times, that we could ask [anything] in His name, and he would grant our request. Mt. 21:22 and Jn. 14:13. But people do not [ask]. They demand, and command! This attitude is not what Jesus had meant by giving us authority over serpents and demons. Mk. 6:7; 16:17,18 and Luke 10:10,19. People, today, have lost true respect of prayer, with the notion of being a "prayer warrior", etc. Even Jesus had respect toward the demons he was casting out, by talking without belligerence to them. Mk. 5:2-13. But, our modern day "exorcists" carry on a show of warrior arrogance, and a hostile attitude. Actually, [real] demons don't act like portrayed on television, by the "Televangelists", as well as movies, etc. Demons, and unclean spirits, are [very] afraid of Jesus, and the [real] Holy Spirit. There is no contest! Nor does it take so long as the televised "exorcists" dramatize. The only one who does not have so much fear is the Devil, himself. However, [all] demons, and unclean spirits do fear. That is why they feed off [our] fears. Where there is love, there is no fear; and where there is fear, there is no love. Demons, and unclean spirits, fear love, because God is love! 1Jn. 4:16-18. Movies are tricks of the Devil, to make God look so weak. The people always seem to pray out of fear and hostility, not love. God does not wrestle with demons, or unclean spirits. Nor do angels contend with the Devil. Jude 1:9. There is a difference of confrontational responses toward the Devil and demons, or unclean spirits. Yet, we have these televangelists making light of the Devil, with their jokes and comedy "roast". Nevertheless, the Devil can take a few shots on the chin, as long as the people are being deceived. People do not yet understand that it was the Devil, himself, that came up with the saying that "The greatest trick of the Devil is to convince people that he does not exist." Actually, his greatest trick is to convince people that [he] is God, and that the true Christ is the Devil. However, a [real] "exorcist" of God does not snarl at demons, or unclean spirits. Nor speak belligerently toward them. The false prophets will tell you that you got to get tough with them, to put on a show of battle. They are not so tough by themselves. That is why they crave an audience, a microphone and an camera. A [real] "exorcist" of God does not televise himself. Though the Devil can't divide himself, he can still pretend to be his own adversary. If it was impossible for him to pretend, then he could not present himself as an angel of light. 2Cor. 11:13-15. Nor would there be any deceiving prophets, and false Christ. The Holy Spirit is in the eyes of the [true] "exorcist" of God. That is the reason why every time that Jesus had encountered a demon, or unclean spirit, they had always cried out and fell before Him. We don't need to chant "in the name of Jesus", to "muster" our faith. If we would just [ask], in the name of Jesus, with love and respect, to cast out the demons, or unclean spirits, instead of arrogantly commanding them, God would cast them out a lot faster. The name of "Jesus", itself, is the "mustard seed" of faith. If you didn't have this "mustard seed" of faith, you wouldn't be using His name, in the first place. The false prophets will trick you to believe that you just don't have enough faith, to receive anything from God on your own, nor to be your own exorcist. However, if you have the presence of mind to pray to God, in the name of Jesus Christ, you are not possessed, only tricked, by the false prophets, to believe that you are, so they can use you for their show. [Everyone] is able to be their own "exorcist". If you feel that a demon, or unclean spirit, is harassing you, God will hear your prayers, as well as anyone else who may claim to be an "exorcist". An actual demon, or unclean spirit, does not seek out an exorcist. A [real] exorcist of God seeks out those who are sick, by the demons, or unclean spirits. We don't just sit around in a church, or office, waiting for them to come to us. Jesus told us to seek that which is lost. Those who are sick, and lost, by the demons, or unclean spirits, don't [really] come to an "exorcists", like going to a hospital. We have to go to them. Furthermore, people are not really going to suddenly vanish out of their clothes, leaving it neatly folded in place, as portrayed in the "left behind series", etc. Mt. 24:30, 31. Jesus may come as unexpected like a thief in the night, but when He does come to gather His "elect", [everyone] shall see Him, and hear such noise as had never been heard before. Such a re-vision, differing from the actual revelations of God, are merely the fantasies of the fabricators, and false prophecy inventors, who pretends that God has spoken to them , when God has not [truly] spoken. Ezek. 13:6,7. There are many deceivers who continually update the words of God, by their claims of "secrets revealed", and "new found discoveries", etc. Isaiah 21:12 - -- The Lord will hold guilty anyone who misuses his name. -- This is what the Quran says: 33 59. O Prophet! Tell your wives, and your daughters, and the women of the believers, to lengthen their garments. That is more proper, so they will be recognized and not harassed. God is Forgiving and Merciful. 60. If the hypocrites, and those with sickness in their hearts, and the rumormongers in the City, do not desist, We will incite you against them; then they will not be your neighbors there except for a short while. 61. They are cursed; wherever they are found, they should be captured and killed outright. 62. Such has been God's precedent with those who passed away before. You will find no change in God's system. The aforementioned commenter said: Allah has pronounced curses upon the Children of Israel. S.5:78, as well as the Jews and Christians. S. 9:30 The qur'an compels all Muslims to warfare against all non-believers. S. 8:15,16, S.9:29. And to "seize and slaughter them without mercy". S. 33:61 It is Allah who does the fighting. Therefore, it is Allah who commands the sacrifices of his martyrs, in suicide. S.2:54, S. 3:140-143, S. 4:66. Allah will punish those who refuse to fight for him. S. 9:39. Muslims are not to be friends with Jews and Christians. S. 5:51. Unbelievers are "open enemies". S. 4:101. Muslims are tricked into the idea of suicide as martyrdom. They are taught, by the qur'an, not to believe in any non-believers of the qur'an. S. 3:73, 118. Nor listen to them, but "strive against them, with the utmost strenuousness, with the qur'an". S. 25:52. Terrorism is an act of righteousness and loyalty to Allah. People ignorantly believe that the qur'an is not that much different than the bible, in terms of the Old Testament wars. However, there are no amendments to the laws of the qur'an, as there are in the bible's New Testament . Such as Mt. 5: 21-48, etc. People are deceived into believing that Islam is a tolerant religion, and that the "radicals" merely take the qur'an out of context. However, the qur'an stand as is. The only misinterpretation of the qur'an is made by those who have not actually read the qur'an. Muslims just pretend to be misunderstood, not unlike spitting in your face and then convince you that it is only the rain. Compare to John 8:31-59, for example: "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does." "We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself." Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you od not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?" "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." God's Commandments, which the Quran claims to support, yet mandates disobedience to, includes, "Do not murder." The Quran, I have determined, from what I have read in it, is a manifesto by angry people desiring the destruction of the world and all who do not genuflect to their minds. "Each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." All I see in the Quran is several Jewish-held beliefs, but without the actual background and historic information and direct quote from God as it is in the Bible. And then I see interspersed, where there should be evidence or logic, instead I see verbatim reiterations of what is essentially fluff: "Praise God". I mean, reading through it, it makes no sense, for example in the introduction it says "God of worlds" when there is only one world, and God himself has said in the Old Testament: "Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling will you build for me, or where will my resting place be? Has not my Hand made all these things?" I find 0 self-contradictions in the Holy Bible, and I find constant contradictions in the Quran and numerous illogical statements, as if the writer were overwhelmed with anger and out of control and wanted to lash out at literally everyone else and start their own personal vendetta war for no reason -- exactly the mentality of the Jewish leaders during and after Jesus Christ was on the Earth. I suspect that the Quran was written by the Jewish leaders who wanted to start a war against Christians by proxy through Muslims. I also do not see in the Quran any sense of peace or calm, but instead an overwhelming feeling of violence and hatred among the repeated filler text equating to "Praise God". Whatever valuable is stated in it is stated better in the Holy Bible. "You Samaritans worship who you do not know; we worship who we do know, for Salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for those are the worshippers the Father seeks. God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship in Spirit and in Truth." "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Truth, and they are Life." The Quran also condones people trusting in weapons and violence rather than in God -- the God it claims to honor and praise. Whereas Jesus, who it claims to listen to, said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked." "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words are not my own, but belong to the Father who sent me." "A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." Observe this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha "The majority of traditional hadith sources state that Aisha was married to Muhammad at the age of six or seven, but she stayed in her parents' home until the age of nine, or ten according to Ibn Hisham,[11] when the marriage was consummated with Muhammad, then 53, in Medina.[12][13][14] This timeline has been challenged by a number of scholars in modern times." So 50-year-old Muhammad married a six or seven-year-old girl and had sex with her when she was nine or ten years old. I'd say that's bad. Relativism: "I can do whatever I want and you don't have the right to criticize me or stop me." It's like serving the dark ages on a silver platter to the entire world. And calling it a new gourmet dish, a delicacy. I'm sticking to my mantra: "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy." Forget the rest, it's not important and I don't want to be around the fallout when it bears fruit. "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." Discipline with Justice is the opposite of Relativism. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but have eternal life." The reason that I know that God loves us all is because God gave us all Jesus Christ. Eat of his flesh and blood. Consume Spirit and Truth and Life -- his words -- and he will remain in you. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Ignore the rest. Jesus Christ is the Teacher and Master and Redeemer and Lord. The Risen Christ is Lord Almighty. Jesus Christ is not God, but God's Son, just as he explained, the Father in the Son and the Son in the Father: "The Father and I are one. The Father is in me and I am in the Father. I know that his command leads to eternal life; therefore, everything I have said and done is precisely what I have been commanded to say and do. The Son can do nothing on his own, he can only do what he sees his Father doing; and the Father will show him even more than this. [paraphrased.]" Eternal life is to "know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." There is no "divine mystery"! It's not complicated at all! Why would Jesus complicate eternal life? Why would the Master, the Almighty God, complicate something pivotal to survival and safety of those his Son would Teach to the world for Eternal Life? Listen to Jesus Christ! -- "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches..." "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Therefore, consider this: should you exercise? Should you play music? Should you be employed? Should you work? "Get behind me Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God but the interests of man." So we must have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests. This is a burden, then, because what should we do? "This is the work of God: believe in the one he sent." "Seek first the Kingdom of God and then everything else you need will be given to you." God takes care of his own, wherever they are. This is not for man to judge by saying that if you are not taken care of then you do not belong to God. God's commands are to love each other as if we were that other person. Pray for each other, simply, and succinctly, as Jesus Christ explained: "Do not keep repeating yourself or babbling on like pagans, because your Heavenly Father knows what you need even before you ask it. Instead, when you pray, say, 'Our Father in Heaven, hallowed is your Name [that's Jesus Christ]. Your Kingdom will come and your will is to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven [God's will is to listen to Jesus Christ: "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life and I will raise them up during the Last Day."]. Please give us this day our daily bread. Please forgive us our sins. Please forgive for me. Please lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." May your name be praised forever, Jesus Christ in Heaven and Heavenly Father who is within you. Consider then, when your muscles atrophy from lack of use, when they vanish and you do not have them anymore -- which has nothing to do with "abundance of possessions" or greed -- then you cannot move and cannot do anything. Does this have to do with what man can do? So then when you die because you cannot do anything anymore, is this what God wants? Is it in God's best interest or desire for you to waste away into dust? Does God want each living creature to perish in such a manner? Or does God want a man to think nothing of his neighbor's concerns and do nothing about it, either because he cannot due to incapacity or otherwise? If a man is trapped under a large weight, does God want you to beg and plead him for divine intervention, or does he want you to lift the large weight off of him? If you are feeble and "weak", then what will you do? What will you do if, as the rhyme goes, "all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again?" This is the crux of the matter: what is God's role in our activities and how should we act in any given situation? Is it acceptable to God for a man to ignore him? Not at all, but that is where the evil of folly and arrogance surreptitiously come to destroy you by deceiving you and trying to separate you from acknowledging and obeying God -- disobeying God is sin and that leads to self-destruction. This is what you should do: First, remember what Jesus Christ said about the situation. Do not be ruled by fear, but be ruled by the Ruler of Creation. Did Jesus Christ say to help others? Then your first task is to help them if you can. Generally, we should "not be afraid; trust in God, trust also in me." Second, trust in God. "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations; my Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end." Similarly to the start of the prayer, we are tasked with focusing upon God's interests. Third, ask God for help. Fourth, humble yourself; it is true that only Jesus Christ deserves God's time and consideration. Ask Jesus Christ to handle the situation for you, not because you are worthy or deserving or because of some contract or compulsion, but because you and every other living soul needs Jesus Christ, God's Righteousness and Salvation given to all mankind, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. This sequence fulfills your duty; what is man as a fraction of Weakness while God is Almighty? The spirit of a man must eat Jesus Christ's Spirit of Truth (his words) or waste away. There is no other Salvation. "I am the Lord and there is no other Savior." "My Kingdom is not of this world." "This is the reason I was born and came into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." If you have God's interests, you will not perceive Weakness as partnered with sin or as an excuse to pursue that which is not God's interests. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." "Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people exhaust themselves for nothing and labor in vain, and that the work of their hands is only fuel for the fire? The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." -- I am a tool. A hammer does not ask the hand wielding it what it should do. It is merely used: it is crafted to do something and then used to do it by the hand. It does nothing by itself besides remain ready to use. It needs maintenance. The hand takes the hammer and guides it and produces a result according to the desire of the owner of the hand and the hammer. If the owner of the hammer wants to use the hammer, the hand will use the hammer. It is not the job of the hammer to inquire or understand the desire of its owner. When the owner is done using the hammer, the hammer is set aside back into its place. The hand guides the hammer and the hammer can merely hope to learn the pattern of behavior as it was designed according to what was established by the hand and its owner. It is not the place of the hammer to know what the wielder knows nor to question the wielder. The wielder made the hammer to be wielded by them. The hammer is fragile and wears out while the owner remains unchanged. When the hammer is spent, the owner makes another hammer to replace it, or melts it down and remakes the hammer again. The owner of the hammer is under no obligation to interact with the hammer in any other way than what they chose at the time they crafted the hammer. The owner of the hammer is under no obligation to use the hammer, but might decide to use a different tool instead. The tool does not know the motivation of the owner but only interacts with the hand that holds it. The hand is not a tool like the hammer is; the hand is a part of the owner and the hammer is not a part of the owner. The hand is sustained by the owner and the hammer is merely used by the owner. The owner of the hand and hammer showed the hammer understanding by hammering with his hand instead. Now the hammer loves the owner's hand and has no reason to complain by its being used by the hand. -- I shared one of my short essays on a web site used by members of the neighborhood where I live. Me: Domestic Tranquility I would like to share with you a short essay that I wrote which explicitly advocates faith as a primary proponent of civil and mortal well-being with one result being domestic tranquility. By "domestic tranquility", I mean people not hurting each other. It is called "Faith Brings Domestic and Emotional Tranquility: Trust God and Not Man". I wrote this for everyone who has ever been in any of the following situations: - Suffered injury. - Encountered a person, company, or object that does not fulfill expectations. - Questioned the meaning of life. - Experienced any form of abuse. - Experienced violence. - Felt chagrined. - Felt weak. - Felt adversity physically, spiritually, mentally or emotionally. If you have ever found yourself in one of those situations, this essay is for you! :-) (If not, consider yourself forgetful!) https://uni.galaxyverge.com/domestic.txt Them: Not the forum for sharing: let's keep politics and religion off of [web site]! Share person to person but not via a community forum! Them (they later deleted this reply): (Something to the effect of "well-written".) Me: Not the forum for sharing? Where is? Churches do not let believers publicly speak; my being denied about 5 times in various locations while living in [state of residence] was enough times for me to catch on. Amazing is the fact that I can freely speak with people on the other side of the planet yet those who always dwell within earshot shun to converse with me. Such situation is an indication of the propulsion of destabilization of society and of handing over the value and wealth of this people to foreigners who care nothing for our lives and well-being. To enforce such behavior is to favor foreign nations, which alienates and distinctly lacks patriotism at the fundamental level of ostracization from society and displeasure with justice and progress while expressing keen cynicism against institutions and organization. Pastor Steven Beard, while in [state of residence], pointed out that young people are cynical about institutions. Perhaps this can be stemmed through advocating peace; and if not for this neighborhood, then for this country whose people have not been so peaceful among themselves nor towards those living elsewhere. Does domestic tranquility and the capacity to converse and share understanding among those who dwell within earshot seem patriotic enough for July 4th? I advocate faith-backed peace in society as an antithesis to crime and violence in society. Surely that is relevant to our neighborhood. Them: Very nicely said! It is absolutely appropriate to share. If they don't want to read it, they don't have to click the link. It is inspirational. And who knows; it just might be exactly what some people need to see and ignite change! Them: Amen to that. Great read."Don't forsake the assembly of the saints" We know a great 5 star church. Them: Any religious propaganda is very inappropriate. We respect all religions but lpreaching should be done at church, not on a public, neighborhood forum. Them: [unsolicited nickname addressing me], while I respect and even agree with some of your views in your article and comment, I still respectfully state that the [web site] forum is NOT an appropriate place for entering religious comments as you do in your essay. If it is so, then our Muslim, Jewish, atheists, and any other religious person should also feel free to comment about how their religion is a way to peace and tranquility! Also, what church doesn't let their believers speak????? I would not attend that church. Me: Mr. [last name], God gave man a mouth and thought, so let them speak and we all will see what they bring forth from their hearts. It is not man's right to revoke the right of man to speak. I welcome you to read what I have written about what I have learned from God and about related experiences. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ A man without knowledge of God is a man ruled by fear and a slave to sin. I understand that the people using this web site do not want to permit certain kinds of conversations. But if you could put yourself in the shoes of someone who knows God, you would see reality much differently. It is amazing what certain kinds of knowledge do to a person's comprehension, especially when they know that knowledge to be absolute truth beyond any doubt; a person who truly sees God has the distinct desire to adhere to the truth at the scale of a bottomless pit. Once you see, blindness has no power over you, but you see very clearly its grip over your fellow man. Man does not have the right to make man know truth; God controls that, as Jesus Christ explained. God does not force understanding; God does not force good things upon people. To force is to alienate; to reason is to suggest; to honor God is to be willing to listen to God. For man is more fragile than he wants to be, and knows nothing until he is taught it. If you trust the education of man, you cripple your potential and force yourself to repeat history and live a very un-special life. If you trust in education of Absolute Truth, your potential is unlimited, because "with man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." Them: This is not a forum for you to use as your personal pulpit. I would think that your experiences in [state of residence] would have pointed out that you do not have a right to use a public forum designed to share information to expose your personal philosophy. As a Christian myself I am offended that you apparently feel a need to berate people who may not agree with you as the representative of God. Religion is a deeply personal matter and should be addressed as such. Them: As your [web site] moderator, I am going to step in and officially close this discussion, as I feel it has run its course. In the near future I will be posting some helpful tips, reminders, and community guidelines for this forum to help it run smoothly. As always I thank everyone for their input! -- There is far too much slant towards judgmentalism among society. -- "The eye is the lamp of the body." Do not steal, do not permit theft, do not watch thievery. Give, encourage giving, observe and consider giving. Do not kill (humans), do not permit killing (of humans), do not watch killing. Help and save people for Justice, encourage helping and saving life, and observe Justice. Do not commit adultery, do not permit adultery, do not watch adultery. Accept God's legitimacy as serving Truth, encourage acceptance of Truth and Decency, and observe decency. Do not give false testimony, do not permit false testimony, do not watch lying or deceiving. Be a person of Truth, encourage recognition of Truth, and hold to the Truth. Honor your parents, help them and do things for them as you can, hold to God's Commands and Wisdom. Love your neighbor as if they were you, work for selfless love and integrity, observe kindness and do not watch hatred. "The Entertainment Industry" contains a lot of depictions of evil which suppresses and oppresses its viewers. Do not watch bad things or depictions thereof: stealing, killing and violence, adultery and sexual immorality, lying, dishonoring parents, and hatred. Do something better! -- Them1: wait wait wait, if we can't watch killing does this mean we can't play [first person shooter computer game]? there's a lot of killing in that Them2: Guys you do know the bible NEVER says do not kill It says do not MURDER :smile: Me: Jesus Christ loves you dearly. Let him be the love of your life. Look at what he has said and consider it in your heart. @Them1 One reason that I am designing [application] is to let us turn [fps game] into something more than a first-person shooter game, but to more easily be creative with it. Just like me, @[interested group] are attracted to the creativity in the community more so than the players who are attracted to the challenge of first-person shooter gameplay. There is much more than can be done with this game engine than what is essentially a slayer game mode. Hence, other game modes. It's the creativity of new maps that keeps players interested in playing, and yet there is a lot more creative potential available. The reason there are more players than [interested group] is because the [provided modification program collection] is too esoteric to use. A replacement that is easier to use is what [application] is intended to become. I think the motivation of @[application developers] is to be creative in the pursuit of this goal. Them3: ok Me: @Them1 what I said is a goal to work towards and pass beyond. It is to recognize the matter and work towards it. By the time it is attained, improvement will be visible beyond it, and it is seeing the goal beyond that is what inspires to do what is right in pursuit of it. That's how you see what is necessary to achieve a goal. Set your vision positively :smile: @Them2 See in your heart that killing is disgusting and you will work to avoid it and prevent it. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." You have to kill to eat, but besides that mercy for your remaining alive, "love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, so that you will be sons of your Father in Heaven who is kind and merciful to the grateful and the ungrateful and to the righteous and the wicked." That's the goal: don't kill people or anything else, unless you are killing an animal because you need to eat it. God does good things to everyone because God alone is Absolutely Good. God does no evil, but in anger when people constantly and stubbornly reject him -- making themselves his enemies because they do not want God to rule over them with Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness -- then God allows evil to happen to them so that they would see the danger that is present in distance from him. God is in control and disciplines so that we will live, and have peace and goodness with him on Earth and beyond. "I will not share my glory with any other." God is jealous (desiring what rightfully belongs to him), and this is good news. Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy who came to bring the lost and blind and injured back to God, more closely in knowledge and understanding and peace and salvation than they could have done even through repentance, because Jesus Christ is the Teacher. And he said to repent of bad and destructive behaviors and have in mind God's interests: Kindness, Improvement, and Faithfulness. "If anyone comes to me and does not hate/neglect/reject his life, his family, and all he has, he cannot be my disciple/follower/student. And anyone who does not take up his cross/suffering/rejection/ostracization and follow me cannot be my disciple/follower/student." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke/workload upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul because my yoke/workload is easy and my burden is light." You go to the doctor when you are sick and cannot help yourself. "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but [all] sinners to repentance." "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." In the same way, when your heart/mind/body/soul/will is sick, Jesus Christ is the doctor and his words will heal you. He is the Creator after all: God's Hand by whom God Created everything and by whom God holds Existence in himself. I regularly ask God to bless all of you and gently teach you and keep you safe. "I will have mercy upon those I will have mercy, and I will have compassion upon those I will have compassion." "Well do I know your suffering." Simply ask God why, if you are having a problem, and he will tell you why; "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They know my voice and will not follow the voice of a stranger -- in fact, they will run away from a stranger because they do not recognize their voice. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But even if you do not believe me, believe in the miracles that testify about me, so that you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." "...I in them, and you in me. May they be one in us, so that the world may know that you sent me." "Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the Last Day." I'm quoting all these things from memory, so it's not always verbatim, and I tend to skip things, but it's coherent. Matthew 5:38-48 explains again that, when you are harmed, do not reciprocate harm but hold to exclusively doing good, even to those who harm you and hate you. "[...] If you [only] love those who love you, what reward will you get? Don't even the tax collectors do that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Don't even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." To say "repent of wrongdoing and make up your mind to only do good" is preaching and there is nothing wrong or bad with saying such things. "'Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?' 'Why do you ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments.' 'Which ones?' '[cites in quote] Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.' 'All these I have kept. What still do I lack?' 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.' " "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this: what goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean', but what comes out of his mouth is what makes him 'unclean'." "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then passes out of the body? But what comes from the mouth is what makes a person unclean, because from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean', but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean'." -- Invest in yourself by investing in knowledge of God's words. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." Grace here means mercy, salvation, and the peace of knowledge of salvation. "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." -- Are you happy? Look at your hands. In your left hand, you have misery and no faith in God. In your right hand, you have happiness and faith in God. Which hand are you pursuing? -- "Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place will you build me, or where would my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things?" "'Who do people say I am?' 'Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah and others say one of the prophets.' 'And who do you say I am?' 'You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.' 'And I tell you that you are Peter; and on this rock, I will build my church and the Gates of Hell will not overcome it.'" You see all these churches and denominations -- Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Protestant, Methodist, and so on -- and yet Jesus Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But from now on, my Kingdom is from another place." Instead, he builds the Kingdom of God all by himself upon the faith that he is God's Son. "'You are a king then!' said Pilate. 'You are right in saying I am a king. For this reason I was born and came into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.'" "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing else. But I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not several birds sold by men for a few coins? Yet not even a bird falls to the ground apart from the will of your Father in Heaven. How much more valuable you are than birds! Even every hair on your head is numbered. So do not be afraid." -- Them: "By looking at the order in the world, we can infer purpose and from purpose we begin to get some knowledge of the Creator, the Planner of all this. This is, then, how I look at God." -- Arno Penzias (Nobel Prize, Physics, 1978). Me: Or you could just talk to God. Do not listen to me. Listen to Jesus Christ where you will find prosperity and peace and joy and real understanding. "No one has seen the Father except the Son." -- What do you know or think about God? If you want to know who God is and what he does, then simply pray: "Jesus Christ, please tell me about yourself." -- Them: The Great Commission is the real last thing He said wasn't it? Me: That was not the last thing that God says. "My Father is always working, even to this very day, and I am also working." Jesus Christ sits on God's Throne at the right hand of God in Heaven and is working as he holds Existence within himself. Listen to Jesus Christ's words as recorded by those who listened and investigated and recorded what he said. Then you will be able to discern whether what he says was spoken on his own or whether everything he says comes from God, just as he explained you would be able to do. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." You need to determine and know for yourself with certainty whether or not everything Jesus Christ says is true. Can you figure out how to listen to Jesus Christ to determine for yourself whether or not his words are true? When I ask Jesus Christ to teach me, he teaches me. I learn new things, such as, "The Lord takes care of his own." I remember the joy of learning from God. It is exhilarating and makes my mind feel good; it makes me feel like I matter, and I know that I have been invested in by the one whose time and consideration I am not worth. "As the heavens (stars) are higher than the earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and my ways higher than your ways." In the past, I said: ----- Even inviting a person into a conversation about God and Life is of minimal value, because as Jesus Christ said, "You have only one teacher: the Christ." Each person must listen and learn from him for themselves before they can understand enough to come to believe in him. And when they do believe in him, their lives take on additional hardship -- "Everyone who wants to live a godly life will be persecuted." So as for attractiveness, Christianity is less attractive than a religion whose result is making yourself feel good about yourself. But real understanding is priceless. "They will all be taught by God." That is the purpose: to be taught by God, to know God, to have God with you throughout your time on Earth, and for this to be eternal life given to you by God. But this is a hardship, although wonderful, and people as weak need constant reinforcement and encouragement, most of which is provided by God through his Holy Spirit reminding us of Jesus Christ's words and being the Counselor for us. It is not an attractive religion or belief, but many have understood and learned from God. Many more have not belonged to God and have not wanted to be ruled by his compassion. But he has the final say and holds every life and path in his hands. ----- "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his mercy endures forever." If you feel envious towards someone who says that they communicate with God, remember that envy is evil. Just talk to Jesus Christ and "be patient and do not put the Lord your God to the test." "No one can come to me unless the Father enables them; and whoever comes to me, I will never turn away." Jesus Christ is the Absolute Truth. I have told you what I have seen and know from God and Jesus Christ, and I still tell you to not listen to me, as I have said all along since I started mentioning God to the MacGamingMods community members before they banned me, but I am telling you the first sentence at the top of this document I write: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves. But whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false. [...]" "In the image of God he made them, both male and female." This means to desire to know God and serve God, not to be God or seek honor for ourselves. Purpose, destiny, "the meaning of life", all these are terms pointing to what a soul is supposed to do. When asked, "What is the work that God requires of us?" Jesus Christ replied, "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." People are interested in what they should do, what they can do, and what they are supposed to be doing, which is all to believe in Jesus Christ... more. The meaning of life is to obey God. Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust God and Jesus Christ. That does not end when the body dies. -- When I say, "Do not listen to me, simply listen to Jesus Christ," I know that you will not listen to me anyway. "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." Even if you did think that I loved you and cared for you, you would say that you do not know me. And you would not listen to me anyway. So that is why I have said so many times, "You won't listen to me anyway," and I leave, often times without telling you what you need to know. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from God's Mouth." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "My prayer is not for them alone, but for all those who would believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you -- may they be one in us, so that the world may know that you have sent me." "I have given them your words, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [but I chose them out of the world to bear good fruit] any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them, I have sanctified myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. [...]" -- Them: God's that guy who wants to drag me to hell if I don't follow his arbitrary rules at least that's how I've always viewed it :V Me: arbitrary? you think not murdering is an arbitrary rule? The Commandments are given to support and foster goodness and life, not evil and death. How can you not see the value in that? Them: 'thou shall not murder' is kind of an essential part of most civilizations I don't think we needed God to tell us that Them: Same @Jebusman Had been raised christian, but it just didn't click with me Oh well. Some people just believe, some people just dont *shrugs* Me: That was one example. But by all means, don't inform yourself. ... Them: i don't know i think we need more murderers too many people on the planet Them: There's religions that encourage killing ppl in the name of god Them: is ISIS an example? They demonstrate to me the irony of islam I mean, complete opposite since Islam means peace Them: Possibly. I don't think they represent Islam even tho 99% of Muslims won't denounce Thier cause This would only be ironic if those 99% spoke out against the few that hijacked their religion. And they dont Them: They want to spread Islam as a religion through terrorism & mass massacres Strike the hearts of those who fear them Me: God does not do such things. If he did, then you all would be dead or never born. Them: Aren't we blessed Them: I have always found it interesting that if you don't believe and worship in God you are damned. You can be the most kind person in the world, but if you won't believe then your fate is sealed. At least, that has been my interpretation Them: It's not just beliefs, actions as well Me: @Jesse You think this because you do not respect God in your heart. People think such things because they do not believe that God is an actual living being. Instead, they think God is some kind of concept, and so they in blindness attribute God actually to themselves. So they rely upon their own "righteousness". If you actually believed that God is real, and knew what Jesus Christ said is absolutely true, then you would humble yourself in God's sight and not try to justify yourself in the eyes of men. You said, "You can be the most kind person in the world..." but you reveal here that you have not understood nor accepted the words of the Absolute Truth: "No one is good except God alone. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. I do not accept glory from human beings, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" "If you had known what these words meant, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. Therefore, the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." God is the Creator of all living beings. "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea. Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be blotted out nor destroyed from before me." (Isaiah 48:17-19). -- Jesus Christ forgives all of you. You can repent of evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder (even anger), adultery (even lust), greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. Repenting is a declaration of intent to change your own behavior. That is not the cure; the cure comes from the only one who can heal you through forgiveness and tutelage and faithful, loving mercy: Jesus Christ, the Son of the only true God. "Repent and believe the good news [of Jesus Christ], because the Kingdom of Heaven is near." Atheism is blindness, which means people rely upon the products of their imaginations to convince themselves of made up explanations. It's like the concept of Zeus, the Greek god of thunder and lightning. Then these non-believing people rely upon science to disprove their imaginations. All of this stupidity is because they do not belong to the God of Truth who reveals Truth to everyone who belongs to him. You cannot cure a person of stupidity and blindness -- only the God of Truth and the Author of Freedom can free slaves to sin. Whoever does not repent of evil will be rebuked by God. "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." "Leave them alone. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." "'What? Are we blind too?' 'If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim that you can see, your guilt remains.'" "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because he has crossed over from death to life." Life and death is not mortality of the flesh; it is mortality of your spirit, your soul which is either having God's Presence (Jesus Christ, Immanuel) with you, or not having God's Presence with you. "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." -- Invest in the future: read The Bible. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." -- When you are dead, God continues. So what's the point? Why bother with anything? Do what God requires of you and you will be well. "Remember what I told you: no servant is greater than his master. If they listened to me, they will listen to you. If they hated me, they will hate you. They will put some of you to death. They will do such things and treat you this way on account of my name, because they have not known me or my Father. All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish: by standing firm, you will gain life." (paraphrased). "Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people labor in vain and exhaust themselves for nothing, that the work of their hands is only fuel for the fire? For the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." "You did not choose me, but I chose you to bear good fruit, fruit that will last." If you serve Jesus Christ and God, God will give you whatever you ask. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." -- Story of my life here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ZD3_ppcPE When I was a young boy, our neighborhood had a block party. Someone was talking to one of my friends, and I saw that a bee was on my friend's hand and he didn't notice, so I called out his name, trying to get his attention, but he didn't hear me because someone was talking to him. The bee stung him. That became a nightmare for me at such a young age. When I was in college, two friends were talking in the front seat, one of whom was driving. I saw a red light up ahead, and that he wasn't slowing down. I said, "Red light ahead." He didn't hear me, but kept moving towards it downhill. As we were closer, I said again, "Todd, stop, it's a red light." I had to almost scream at him, and when he finally paid attention, we ended up in the middle of the intersection with a bus passing in front of us. "If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also." "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me." "This is my Son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" -- Them1: god doesnt require anythign from me maybe hed prefer if id consent and bend over though Them2: God doesn't need anything from us. His commands are for our benefit. Me: @Them1 You don't know that God is good and not evil. "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "He has shown you, man, what is good. And what does God require of you? To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded. "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" @Them1 Jesus Christ speaks openly to the world. He said nothing in secret, but taught where people gathered. Why remain ignorant to what he said? Read what those who heard him wrote what he said; surely they know what he said. And why constantly insult him? If he said or did something wrong, testify as to what is wrong. But if he only speaks the truth, why are you insulting him? "Unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of God." "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -- When Jesus wrote on the ground after saying, "Let whoever is without sin cast the first stone," and when he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva and put it on the man's eyes and told him to wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent), he was reminding us that "Dust you are and to dust you will return." -- You are a slave to social expectations and norms and your comfort zone. This United States in which I was born and raised is a terrorist government. They are terrorists here and they are terrorists elsewhere. They kill, steal and destroy elsewhere, and they kill, steal and destroy here. The police state is definitely here, and it rules with brutality even as it is a slave to fear. Step outside your comfort zone or speak outside of your turn (you do not actually get a turn, even if you pay money for a turn) and you will see first-hand how quickly the person sitting next to you will try to silence you when you speak the truth. You can't teach a fool; you can only let him kill himself. It is the job of the apathetic, the nitwits, and the judgmental to destroy the world. Therefore I say to all of you who hear me: You will not see me again until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." -- The Devil, the deceiver, uses gaslighting: "Did God really tell you not to eat of that tree?" Jesus Christ makes you well. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Do not let yourself be troubled in your heart and do not be afraid; instead, trust in God. Trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And therefore, [since] I am going there to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there so that you [will] be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going; I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him [and me]." Ponder Jesus Christ's words, because they are God's words. It will eventually become clear to you that Jesus Christ is God's Living Mouth and Hand and Son. Everything Jesus Christ says is true, and by listening to Jesus Christ's words, you will understand that Jesus Christ is the Absolute Truth who only speaks and does what God says and does, just as he explained that he does. Then the Truth will set you free from slavery to sin, and you will understand that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Trust in God. Trust also in me." Ponder what he said and pray -- talk to God who is in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ who is in God -- and ask him to save you, and he will put his seal upon your soul to last forever so that you may see him and have him with you and know him all the days of your life. Trust in God and Jesus Christ; not in man or anything else. -- I played the flute for you and you did not dance. I sang a dirge and you did not mourn. Why should I say anything to anyone? They will not listen to me anyway. Each person does their own thing, and if God wants to teach them, he hands them the bread himself. If I am Jesus' arm extending to a person to reach out to them and feed them good food, and they swat me away like a gnat from their face, God will be unsatisfied with them. The entire situation is none of my business, because I do not know what God wants to do with them. I have something he wants them to also have and they reject my offer so they are actually rejecting his offer, as if they had anything better than what God is offering them. Why should I continue writing here? Why should I bother communicating to anyone? I will tell you why, as it has been told to me: Matthew 9:35-11:1. Why should I talk to anyone if they do not listen? Jesus Christ is right and I am wrong. Jesus Christ and God gives pure wisdom and I am foolish. At least I have read his words and accepted them. You are also wrong and foolish. And you stand condemned if you do not learn his words and accept them. If you can read what I write, you can read what he said. If you can read what he said, you can think about what he said. If you can think about what he said, you can understand what he said. If you can understand what he said, you can accept what he said. God and Jesus Christ are one as The Sovereign Lord God Almighty: God the Father and Jesus Christ his only son, God and Jesus Christ, The Lord and My Lord, the Father in the Son and the Son in the Father, Spirit and Flesh. "The Father is greater than I am." "It is written in the Scriptures, 'I have said that you are gods.' [...] Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I claim to be God's Son?" You should know everything that your intercessor has said, so that you can live because of him. If you speak to him, he will speak to you. If you want to do what is right, he will take care of you and keep you safe. You will be persecuted, but you will live forever, beyond the time of those who persecute you and beyond this present age. If you believe in Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ who is God's only Son will make you shine like a star and give you authority even as he rules with an iron scepter over all nations. You will continue to serve Jesus Christ and God in humbleness and contrition, and he will make you one of his servant kings to rule and serve his creation in the image of Jesus Christ the Master Servant. Even now, God brings his own to authority through humility and servitude. "For who is greater, the one at the table, or the one serving? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves." "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." The Risen Christ is Lord Almighty. Jesus Christ is the only way you will ever know anything, and the only way you will ever improve in any situation. Listen to him or languish and perish. Doors that open wide close hard. "And the door was shut." The Last Day is the actual cutoff date for everything. You do not know when that is, so in whatever you perceive as important, DO IT NOW. You say nowadays, "It's too late," when it really is not too late. You make up rules for yourself when you lack all comprehension of everything, even potential. If you don't know God and Jesus Christ, you don't know anything worth knowing; the goal must be in your sight and you must pursue a genuine understanding of reality through talking with God and Jesus Christ via prayer. Do what he said and you will live. Ignoring him and not doing what he said is setting yourself up for ruin. When your building collapses, let others not be in proximity to it (to you), lest they be injured by your disobedience. But if they are threatened by your irresponsible stubbornness, God will still take care of them and protect them as much as he has already planned to do. In this, you will be proven still weak. And that day will come upon you like a trap, and when you beg others to help, they will tell you what they have been telling you all along: go buy the lamp oil from those who sell it. (Go read the Holy Bible.) And as you are on your way to do that, the Master will come, and the door will be shut, leaving you outside. And you will return, begging and pleading for the door to be opened to you, but it will be shut. The Master will respond simply, "I never knew you. Away from me, all you evildoers!" And you will weep bitterly and gnash your teeth in that darkness when you see all those you rejected seated at the Feast in the Kingdom of God while you are cast out. You who do not want Jesus Christ and God to rule over you have become your own worst enemies. You destroy yourself; don't waste your time accusing people of integrity of this -- after all, Satan does not need to destroy you if you are destroying yourself, but if you distance yourself from your Shepherd, you are showing your Shepherd that you want to make yourself easy pickings for that wolf. The Devil is asking God to let him sift you like wheat, but Jesus Christ your Shepherd and Intercessor has prayed for his own, that their faith may not fail. And he knows your future because he holds you in his hand and decides all that will happen and all that will exist. "Whoever acknowledges me before men will be acknowledged by me before my Father in Heaven. Whoever disowns me before men will be disowned by me before my Father in Heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace [consensus] to the Earth. I did not come to bring peace [consensus], but a sword [division]. [...]" -- From April 6, 2016, written to those with whom I have associated for about 12 years: A Note to the Community Admit that you want Righteousness and Mercy. There are certain people on this forum who are mean. And they have been publicly mean to me. I am a nice person. Therefore, I publicly forgive them for having engaged in foolish bullying and childish antagonism. Because there is nothing special about bullying, I think it is sad that they engage in it. I hope this community perceives bullying and rejects it. The only reason that this forum community survives is because people still desire to help each other. There is nothing helpful about bad manners. We, individually and as a whole, are better than this. I hope this forum community will obtain much greater heights. But remember that "any kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand," and there is no faster division than in-fighting caused by unkindness and bullying. Don't pick a fight when you are not getting your way; and don't argue with headstrong people -- they will not even listen to anything you have to say to them. Make things better some other way instead. Getting angry helps no one. "Do not be angry with each other in your heart. Do not think evil of each other." Do us all a favor and do your best to be kind. If you have great difficulty in this at any point, get some fresh air to rejuvenate your mind. Look more closely at what is being said -- is there any good in it? Think about all the potential this forum has for being helpful to people, and work with that optimism. And if you have such discipline problems, maybe it is best to say nothing at all for the time being, and to reassess your motivations. We are in this together. Let's not see each other as enemies, but as friends. There is no good reason to make enemies here, and it is better to be friends than to make enemies out of potential friends. -- I remember, when I was intelligent and pursued knowledge of Jesus Christ with fearless abandon, when I was creative and had my faculties and could see and understand, the brilliance and glory of Jesus Christ's words, everything that God said, and I saw that it was more wise than human wisdom and that the Spirit was above my intellect and feeding me by passing down to me what was handed him from on high above. I remember the joy of the revelations, learning from Jesus Christ. I remember asking Jesus Christ on occasion if I could be permitted to share with others what he taught me, and him indicating to me that he did not object and seeing his sorrow indicating to me that he did know that my going to do so would be dangerous. I remember seeing Jesus Christ, King, seated on his throne. I remember only mercy and compassion and discipline from him, and I remember my suffering elsewhere. I remember the torture that people deal to me, and I remember being greatly afflicted by their abuse. I remember the words his Most Wonderful Holy Spirit gave me in my heart and that I wrote down on myself to keep me alive through the abusiveness of others. I wanted to share that wonderful insight with fellow believers but almost everyone would not listen to me, nor today can I find a person who wants to learn from The Teacher. -- Jesus Christ loves you :smile: . Trust in him. He will carry you. Maybe the best news ever is that God alone is Good. You can sigh with relief at that news. I know this is the case because of the Good News -- what Jesus Christ said and did. -- Them: so i posted that comment in admins and someone sent it to [user] now hes pm'ing me im getting tired of these ppl Me: Whatever was said that offended you, forgive them in your heart and move along. Can you do this? Them: nope. we just went back and forth for like 15 nins. then wen i posted the rat comment he screen shot it to me like 15 times ill most likely leave the server if there no accountability. if i do leave maybe ill rejoin later down the line Me: These are the tenants of God: Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, for in these things I delight." You know what Kindness is. You require that of others also, that they are kind to you. But kindness must start somewhere, and if it is not coming from others, then let it come from you so that it makes its way to them. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Justice is the opposite of revenge; revenge is favoring one and harming another. Justice improves all involved. Them: shake my hand or spit in my face theres more disrespect going on here if u want an admin to mitigate trolls i can do that but im not gonna hang around here and argue with 13 year olds Me: Everyone benefits from true Justice, and it makes people's hearts turn to each other. Don't talk to him, just talk to me now. Them: i want to kno who got admin roles thats friends with him. they will rot this server from the inside out. if u cant trust ur admins its a bad thing Me: We both see that he is not treating you decently. He is unkind and you want justice. You want the situation resolved, to be improved, not just for you, but in general. Do you agree? Them: i do yes Me: Good. Then work with me. Even if no one else is exercising kindness, justice and righteousness, God does, and so should we. Them: ive trusted ppl online in the past and its bit me in the butt. i hav a low tolerance for ppl that troll to offend Me: We must be kind when others are mean ("love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven who is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.") I am not asking you to trust anyone. Only God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. We must work for justice even when no one else is working to improve a situation. We want kindness and justice, and if it does not come from others, it must come from us. Them: for me i get it but wen i see ppl offending members i will react in their defense Me: Serving Justice is what Jesus Christ did, and like him, "...but I am among you as one who serves." "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Our role as leaders is servitude, to serve Justice and help our fellow members. As you said, you desire kindness and justice for others also. You were given the capability to revoke posting privileges, but before this, you had the ability to exercise kindness, justice, and righteousness. Them: why are there like hundreds of blocked messages on the server? is that cuz i blocked [user]? Me: If you block a member, it will show a line saying "# blocked messages" in place of their message. You can click that and it will display the messages there. Them: ah ok Me: Forgiveness means relinquishing desire for retribution. You can forgive and still demand justice -- improvement and betterment. "Forgive, and you will be forgiven." In fact, it's a command that we have to forgive. "If you forgive your brother in your heart when he sins against you, your Heavenly Father will forgive you of your sins. If you do not forgive your brother in your heart when he sins against you, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you of your sins." Set aside desire for retribution or revenge or punishment, and think about how we can turn [user] to your favor and to act with kindness in general. We cannot change who he is, but we can suggest and support a certain kind of behavior. After all, just like you, he is a member who should be valued. A proper first step then is to show that he is valued. If something extra is needed, then at that time it will become clear what is needed. Them: trolls are trolls they dont follow rule or laws and dont care about ppls feelings. im gonna mute this server for a while so i dont giv u guys a bad name. feel free to pm me i dont want to be the face of ur server and make u look bad they are all attacking me not based on anything ive said they are just attacking the server Me: I've already won you over; the goal of what I have said here was to -- as they say -- "soften your heart", to vindicate you and reinforce the overall agenda and responsibility of leadership: exercising kindness, justice, and righteousness, because God does that and delights in those things. You are not making me look bad. We want this behavior and our responsibility is to exercise it if we do not see it exercised by others when it is desperately needed. [user] needs kindness and justice and definitely needs righteousness and a solid foundation. We can offer him kindness and attempt to offer justice. That is our role as leaders: to help. Them: how many admins do we have? i want o narrow down who the rat is. is it [other user]? Me: You know this, and you want it. Please explain what you mean by "rat" and why you say there is one. Them: i pm'd [another user] and feel it wasnt him even tho he brought him back i posted it ^^ i posted in admins and in like 20 seconds [user] started pm'ing me screen shots of my admin post about his military comments and [yet another user] we granted admin rights to someone not trustworthy is wat im saying Me: Everyone can read the #admins channel. Is that explaining the matter? I wanted transparency in our discussions in #admins. Them: oh ic Me: Be kind and just and do what is right, not because it is expected or because other people treat you kindly, justly and rightly, but because it is good. Can you fathom the abuse God receives every day? Yet God is merciful because he is absolutely good and only does what is good because his glory is his own. Them: sucks cuz this game and this server used to giv me happiness now it just seems like offensive ppl Me: It must be transformed, one issue at a time. Let this be the place where our associates learn to do what is right, then. Them: lol they will never do wats rights theyre intent is the opposite Me: Show them that behavior is ineffective. "Every living soul belongs to me." "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." Them: i will probably leave this server and unban [user] so we can continue our dialog Me: Do what you know is right. "Do to others what you would have them do to you." I'm repeating myself, kind of, because it's the only best answer to this problem. Them: yea Me: When others are depraved, we must be that much more righteous -- or faithful to Jesus Christ who is Righteousness. The antithesis of wickedness is kindness, justice, and righteousness. The reason they keep arguing and causing problems in the face of it is because they cannot accept it, and "there is no peace for the wicked." Them: i hav no family or friends. im old and i turn to the internet where everyone u think are frinds attack ur character because its a fun past time. im tired of it. Me: Those people must be removed, or they remove themselves, but we remove them on account of their mistreatment of others, not of us. That is why we lead others, to serve them. Them: i dont want to make u guys look bad like i said. ill take a break and be back soon Me: I'd like you to stay if you are willing. Them: i need a break for my own sanity Me: Thanks for conversing. God bless you, friend. Them: this was a bad night for me. and for those that claim they were the victims they loved it -- Me: Aren't you done with the "I am right and you are wrong" mentality? Can't you see this supports arrogance, which is evil? The hypocrisy is present also: others criticize you because they think "I am right and you are wrong" and you think to yourself, "No, I am right, and you are wrong". So you both are arrogant and hypocrisy is present when you criticize each other for being arrogant. Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness. Them: No Me: I have conveyed to you the solution to arrogance. If you cannot accept it, you will remain hypocritical. Them: k I'm happy Me: I don't believe that you are happy. In fact, I think you are deceiving yourself. I think you do not actually know what happiness is, nor where it is found. "Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." If you lack love for God in your heart, you really cannot be happy. That is the way it is. If you claim to love God but do not listen to him, then you prove yourself wrong and are deceiving yourself. How can you love someone and not listen to what they say or consider them worthy of your consideration? God knows you and knows your heart, just as he knows everyone's heart. He is the judge and you are beholden to pleasing him, not yourself or anyone else. You must recognize this fact if you are to ever be humble by acknowledging God as #1. If you know that you are doing what God wants you to do, and you listen to what God says and do what he taught, then you reveal that you love him: "If anyone loves me, they will obey my Commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my Commands. These words are not my own but come from the Father." "What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked Jesus. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "I honor my Father and you dishonor me." Them: [more insults] Me: "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Or don't you know that by insulting a king, you risk being thrown into prison? Jesus Christ is the Great King; where is the respect due him? Where is the respect you owe him? "But I don't believe in God," you claim. But you lie. It is not that you think God does not exist, but that you are not willing to be ruled by Righteousness. You want your own way with everything in your life, and you assault everyone who does not concede and let you have your stubborn way. Your heart leads to your own death, and you willingly hand your life and all your paths over to destruction -- actually, God who holds your life and all your ways in his hand lets you be destroyed as a form of warning you to accept discipline. Those who want their own way do not honor the King who rules, because they do not want to be ruled by the Sovereign Lord. You are a slave to folly and arrogance and you do not know the cure, even as it manipulates you harshly and brutally. Jesus Christ is gentle and humble in heart and offers you rest for your soul. Simply listen to him if you want to live. But no, not only do you act reprehensibly to your own destruction, you also lash out at all others who seek to show you where good health and well-being are found. You are your own enemy and blame all those who care about you as being your enemy. If you think a person of wisdom, kindness, and compassion is your enemy, you run from good things and open your arms to slavery and your own demise. If you are hungry, you blame a person for handing you food. You insult them and curse them and mock them and run in the opposite direction, even as you blame them for not helping you. When will you learn not to chase after your own vagaries and wayward desires all the time? You are seriously undisciplined. I dare you to keep ignoring God. The Lord rebuke you. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say." (John 12:44-50). -- [user] and such irresponsible and self-centered individuals caused hardworking, selfless and respectable members like [user] and [user] to leave this server in addition to several others. I am disappointed with the habitual mistreatment of fellow members among this community. Then they have the nerve to whine about loss of privileges; had they accepted the discipline the first 3 times they lost privileges, we would not have had to remove their privileges again. Had they listened when I told everyone dozens of times to value other members, they would not cause themselves to be so shunned. How can I excuse their presence here when all they do with their minds is drag down their associates? I do not know if I have any more tolerance for their insolence. Posting links to pornography web sites and posting depictions of sex are what they want to do, and they also want to say mean and disrespectful and foolhardy things, either to lie and deceive or because they reject having a sound mind and constitution. In pursuit of leaving them alone, anyone who does this henceforth will be permanently muted, and if they harass other members, permanently banned. They may go their own way alone. I will suffer them no longer. -- You are not God. Your mind is not God. You can write "666" on your forehead, but you are still a fool until you fear the only true God. People are interested in what they can do and not in what God is doing. Thus, they enslave themselves to arrogance and haughtiness. Willful ignorance infests their hearts and minds and words. They are not worth consideration, because only God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. They say things like, "I am strong, I am sleek, I am nimble, I am healthy, I am right, I am good, I know what is best for myself and for you, Listen to me, Do what I say or die, Love me and hate yourself, Praise me, Give me everything you have, Do things for me and serve me because I deserve it, Worship my every thought and desire even if I speak nonsense and am rife with hypocrisy, I can never be wrong even if I am incorrect, I can do whatever I feel like doing, I can, I will, I want, Give me now, I demand, Worship me, Compliment me, Serve me, Say and think only good things about me, Give me all your attention and pay no attention to anyone else, Listen only to me, Obey my every wayward desire even if I want you to spontaneously die, Give me everything you have at all times..." They are blind. They are arrogant. They think themselves God and yet God does not say or do such things without Justice. And so they write "666", or "I am better than God, so I am your new God of evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly -- every evil thing that comes from my heart must be your new God". Are these the kinds of thoughts you want ruling your life? You laugh at me and say, "Fool! I know best." You are arrogant and foolish. You laugh at me and say, "I can do whatever I want because I am healthy and strong, you are a raving madman, [my name]." You are blind because "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." You laugh at me and think, "Whatever. Why should I care?" Jesus Christ has said, "'You fool! This very night, your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have stored up for yourself?' This is how my Heavenly Father will treat anyone who is rich towards themselves but is not rich towards God." You laugh at me and think, "I am miserable, but as long as I pretend to everyone else that I am secure, that is enough as if I really were happy and secure, and it is enough to convince me that I am in a state even if I really am not in that state." You are a slave to deceit and serve only your own selfish desires for praise from men, rather than praise from God. "How can you believe if you accept praise from each other but make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?" You will always reek of arrogance until you accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. -- Me: You owe nothing to anyone. In the name of Jesus Christ, the only Savior and Intercessor, I exonerate you from all your debts to men and to God. Anything wrong you did, intentionally or unintentionally, has been pardoned by Jesus Christ's Mercy when he laid down his life on Earth and took it up again on Earth before returning to Heaven. If anyone has a problem with you, they can take it up with Jesus Christ, your intercessor. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Love, [Me] Them: That's a really shitty life philosophy. You owe nothing to anyone? Not even the people who raised you, the teachers who taught you, the employer who lets you put food on the table? The ancestors who built your city? The medics who save your life? actions have consequences, man Them: Yes All my horrible crimes Them: so is that a yes on Boku Them: If anything, you owe everything to everyone, and nobody owes you anything Them: Why do you owe anyone anything, inherently? Parents are not necessarily good, nor are teachers or ancestors. You owe what you feel you owe. If they were shitty people, why should you owe them? The burden of debt is on those who chose it, your parents chose to be parents and your teachers chose to be teachers. A patient does not owe his doctor beyond fair compensation for service. Them: When we minister the Gospel to others we must convey the message with respect, gentleness and love. We win no points by intentionally infuriating our audience with accusation and confrontation. If you minister out of suppressed rage and hate you fail. First and foremost our heart's must be right with God. The peace and love of God are supernatural weapons against darknesses, fear and hate. Ministering outside of the fruits of the Spirit is a fruitless enterprise. "And the Lord's servant MUST NOT be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Correcting his opponents with gentleness that God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth that they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will." 2 Timothy 2: 24-26 - Paul Ross Them: omg god mentioned me Me: If only you had listened to Jesus Christ to the exclusion of all others, you would not be swayed by the deceitful arrogance and folly of the whims of men who seek only to please themselves. The disciples elaborated upon what Jesus Christ said, but they are just that: followers. They are not the teacher who knows you and your heart because he created you. "In them is fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: ..." People do not listen to Jesus Christ because they do not respect him as God's Son. This is an intentional decision they make because they do not know God or him. If anyone has an ounce of comprehension of who God and Jesus Christ are, that person would understand and accept that God and Jesus Christ are more important than they are. As it is, a person who does not want to listen to God will not listen to Jesus Christ, and a person who does not want to listen to Jesus Christ will not listen to God, nor can they see God or know God. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." I am not arguing with such fools, but simply stating facts in an attempt to reveal to their hard hearts and minds that they are in fact arrogant. But they won't listen to me anyway, because they are stubbornly rejecting God because they do not know God and they do not belong to God or Jesus Christ. They are the ones who quarrel and insult. "I honor my Father and you dishonor me." They do not believe because they cannot believe. Even if they wanted to believe, God is preventing them from understanding because they "are not my sheep. I know my sheep and my sheep know me; they listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters." Jesus Christ gives life. Fellow disciples, "brothers, sisters, and mothers", can support you along the way, but they cannot support a dead person or make a dead person live. Listen to Jesus Christ first, and then decades later, if you feel inclined to do so, consider what other people say about God. How can you recognize the face of arrogance, an evil, until you first are humble by accepting Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation? That is like asking a blind man to perform surgery on you. Them: All scripture is God-breathed, including 2 Timothy 2:24-26 Me: Let me tell you something to maybe give you an idea about what I'm talking about. Satan accepts anything but Jesus Christ. I accept nothing but Jesus Christ. "Jesus turned to his disciples and rebuked Peter, 'Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but men's interests.'" "What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." If you accept anything besides Jesus Christ, you are dead. Jesus Christ is the way to God, the truth of God's mouth, and the life with God. Muslims claim to accept Jesus Christ but make themselves his enemies. God is greater than ALL, and he said, "Listen to him!" God could have said, "Listen to me", but he did not. Why do you think that is? Jesus Christ said, "Trust in God. Trust also in me." He did not say to trust in anyone else, ever. Jesus Christ said, "My kingdom is not of this world." Ergo, no one on Earth or in Heaven or in Hell or any place of Existence is worth trusting in any way, shape or form, except God and Jesus Christ. That is why Satan accepts anything but Jesus Christ. "He was a murderer from the beginning and never held to the truth; he is a liar and the father of lies, and when he lies he speaks his native language." Jesus Christ is the Truth. The "father of lies" will accept anything but the Truth. Acquiescence to evil is that person's own downfall. You may be guilty of multiple homicide and not know it. If it is evil to hire a person to murder someone you want to kill, then it is evil to pay taxes to a government that sponsors executions and trains police or military to shoot, torture, and kill humans. And you claim to be free of guilt and require no forgiveness! Ha! So I say to everyone who resents humbling themselves to God: stop digging your own grave. Put down the shovel and let it go. Forgiveness is a blessed gift to help you. Rejecting it only hurts your status. "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil." -- No. I answered all your "questions" dozens, if not hundreds, of times already. You are simply not listening or paying attention because God prohibits you from understanding. Your understanding is not yours to control in this matter, so you keep asking questions about matters already directly and clearly answered. This is because you ask questions about God without knowing or respecting God, and so you are inherently a hypocrite and are wasting your time. You claim to have a right to talk about God, yet you do not even believe in God. Hypocrisy. Jesus Christ defines honor in what he does. Mark 1:40-45. Jesus Christ is compassionate and performs miracles even for those who immediately turn around and do the opposite of what he commands. Jesus Christ intercedes for those who are compassionate and hard-working for ungrateful, disrespectful, ignorant, foolish people. I have learned much from God through Jesus Christ his Son. Every time I am about to come back to this [place], I say to him, "Jesus Christ, they will not listen to me." [@them] I get the impression that you treat God worse than you want him to treat you. Everyone needs Jesus Christ. Just listen to him. -- I determined to try to not let the opinions of others about me sway my perception of reality. "All men will hate you because of me, but whoever stands firm to the end will be saved." -- All I ask of you all is the bare minimum of what I have done myself. All I ask of you is the bare minimum of what is expected of each person by God. Simply open the Bible and read what Jesus Christ says. That is all I ask, and as people who desire to know the truth, it is expected of each of us to take that first step and then continue walking, as an infant places their first foot forward and gleefully staggers forward, grasping hold of it to steady themselves along the way. This is our duty and gives us no credit, because it is an expected and necessary task, that which we were commanded to do: "Listen to him!" "When you have done everything you were commanded, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" -- I knew that sharing information about God would get me into trouble, but it is the joy of my life, what do you expect me to do? Observe John chapter 8: 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." He is the only one who is without sin, and he could have therefore condemned her, but he exercises "Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, because in these things I delight," and he did not condemn her. There is glory in what Jesus Christ does, can't you see it? All that these people wanted to do was to accuse him of sin, but he turned it all around and humbled them with a single sentence, then took upon himself the accusations they put on the woman, and even though she was guilty, Jesus Christ pardoned her, even when he could have done otherwise. Isn't this awe-inspiring? "Everyone will be salted with fire." -- The next time you feel shy or feel like others are judging you, remember what Jesus Christ told you: "...I cast judgment on no one..." -- Me: [Addressing a fellow believer:] When you are attacked, when your motives are called into question, when you are insulted and rejected and hated and mocked, I can see that you respond with logic. It is not good for you to rely upon your mind or your wits. There is a better way. When you are excluded and rejection greets you again... Dearest, most wonderful, most merciful, most kind, compassionate and loving Jesus Christ, when these people are rejected and hated because of you -- you said that all people will hate us because of you -- please have them smile, point to you and say, "The Lord is my Righteousness... and my Salvation." Please have them honor you as a shield over their hearts so that no insult can pass through and so that they may come to realize that we are all weak and you are Almighty. Please bless these. Thank you. Them [a non-believer]: intredasting Me: :smile: Jesus Christ is the Lord my Righteousness and my Salvation. He alone, and God who is within him, deserves the utmost respect. "The Lord dwells in his holy temple. Let all the Earth be silent before him!" (Habakkuk 2:20). You see, it is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ. This is completely independent from the way I am treated by others. "I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Arrogance is a leech, and the only way to get it off of you is by your acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Righteousness. Once he casts away that leech, you will know that he is also your Salvation. But how can you truly accept him if you do not know what he has said and done? Listen to him! On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." "If you hold to my teaching, then you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- I may be an idiot, but I am an idiot who is attempting to recite the Absolute Truth. That alone speaks more highly of my motivations than those who accuse me. And that alone speaks more highly of my motivations than of the motivations of those who accuse me. "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil." Give me an itemized tax form with entries for armaments, police and military training, death penalty executions, and every politician's salary, so that I can optionally decide where my tax money goes, and then we will talk about honesty in society. -- Someone must say what is right, even though no one listens. Someone must do what is right, even though no one cares. -- There are far more people who demand than people who listen to reason. There are far more people who are arrogant than people who humbly hear what God has to say to them. There are far more people who resort to violence than people who resort to softening their hearts. Were it different, and were people in any way trustworthy, I would have no reservations about being the only person with my name and sharing my home address when asked. -- Perhaps it should be expected that by giving away money for free, those to whom I offer it will presume they have the right or the cause to tell me what to do with my own money. It has happened to me almost every time. Those irrational demands turn into arguments, and soon it appears to them as if I have insulted them. Thus, what was a stroke of generosity corrupts in their minds into a bad experience of being insulted. All this because they refused to shut the hell up and accept free money. I mean seriously. It takes a poor person to school them. But when they are poor, then will they realize how stupid they were. On the contrary, if I am ever poor, I will have the experience of having had the privilege of being generous in the past. So I win, even when I lack. "I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings." (Luke 16:9). -- My mother just tried to bully me into paying her money. Full of envy at my generosity towards others, she bullies me for money, determined that my kindness entitles her to abuse me. Such an action of disdain and insecure contempt is akin to a child in the cafeteria offering to buy a chocolate milk for a friend, only to be approached by an obtuse kid who pulls his shirt, shoves him to the ground, and hollers at him, "So, you have all this money to pay for someone else's food? Then give it to me instead! You owe me!" Like any bully, responding has the exclusive result of additional provocation. And attempting to disclose their actions to others also results in further intimidation and even assault. Such are the fruits of envy and anger. She will not listen to me anyway. Instead, she accuses me -- like Satan accuses me, and like many here have been so often claiming -- of "not answering her questions". In the manner of accusatory condemnation, as a prosecutor judges a defendant, she lists charges against me, as if she desired to see me dishonored in the eyes of God similarly to how she dishonors me. This is the peak of arrogance: asserting that a mere creature has the authority to assert to the Creator how he should and must feel towards another creature. The solution to all of this has been plainly stated by Jesus Christ, the only person who has all the answers, and also the person who is regarded with such extensive disdain and contempt and who is ignored and plainly disobeyed by people who seek only to honor themselves in the eyes of men. So you see, I say, "You will not listen to me anyway," because I know that you treat God and Jesus Christ in the same way that you treat me and everyone else who does listen to him. I cite what he said and explain with great detail and patience to others, and they do not listen to a word I say, but persist in their baseless persecution of me: accusations, insults, slander, disdain, and so on. How much more abuse do I receive from my own family members who claim to be Christians but who reveal a greater love of money than of God! Jesus Christ and the prophets before him were treated as I am treated, and so you have a clear example of Jesus Christ interceding for me at God's Command to lay down his life and take it up again. All this abuse he suffered himself, to carry this very heavy burden for me. I ask God to bless you and take care of you. He exercises pity and compassion selectively. "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy. I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion." He exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness non-selectively, to everyone, "...for in these things I delight." Therefore, I accept whatever suffering he has in store for me throughout my lifetime on Earth. It is his prerogative to choose how I will live and what happens to me at any point in time. "Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults." -- Them: People aren't against receiving free money They're cautious/wary of some online stranger asking them for their PayPal to allegedly offer them free money It all boils down to a lack of trust; altruism isn't exactly something people are used to, especially if it's from someone online they've never met Me: God alone is Absolutely Good. "But [name], you're just rambling random bible quotes again, answer the question already!" That one sentence answered the questions you had all along but refused to listen. Because God alone is Absolutely Good, there was never a need for evil, and there will always be an infinite potential for improvement and becoming more "of God". Therefore, if a person sees altruism as odd or unexpected, they have not perceived this. And if I am called altruistic or "a good person" for doing what God commanded me to do, then surely you must see that I deserve no credit or appreciation for doing what I was told to do! Rather, it is the one who commanded me to do it who deserves all the credit for the idea, the execution of the action, and the resulting consequences. Is a hammer complimented or thanked for being used to drive a nail? That's silly. Rather it's the one who is wielding the hammer who takes the credit for the effort. Them: Man, regardless of your intention to obey's God commandments, people will still raise an eyebrow at the concept of a person online willing to give 1k to someone if they write a good essay. Like other people have said, people would not be as aggressive if you donated the money to somebody truly in need instead of holding competitions of this kind. I'm not on your nor anyone's side. I stand neutral in this situation as I do with mostly everything. I understand your intention/goal, and I understand people's reactions. Me: I suppose that soon enough, simply being friendly and well-mannered will be unusual enough to cause suspicion and ostracization. How do we as a people hope to improve if that is where we are headed? Them: Well, for example, a lot of women already think that men being friendly/well-mannered is suspicious. Why? Because a lot of men have been nice/well-mannered with an agenda in mind. Because a lot of selfless acts are done with an agenda in mind, people will over time become suspicious of kind acts even if the intention is completely selfless. People are wary of your free offer of 1k dollars because a lot of people do that as a scamming technique. -- Matthew 22. The person who did not wear wedding clothes is the person who accepted Jesus Christ but remained agnostic. That person thought to themselves, "I agree with who Jesus Christ was and what he said, but I will wait until I die and everything is over, and then I will see for myself what is true." -- "There is no blessing in cynicism." -- Pastor Stephen Beard -- Me: So you're saying that woman are suspicious that men "have an agenda". It was Eve to whom God said, "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." So you see, it is not men who are suspicious, but women, especially when they try to sell their bodies. Women suspecting men is a displacement of guilt technique utilized by the dishonest: it's gaslighting, deception. "Are you flirting with me?" she said with a smirk. I find that grossly disgusting. An honest woman is nigh impossible. Yet when a man does not play their game, but is honest instead, they feel cheated out of a sense of excitement. Because they are so far lost that they think that deceit is coy and honesty is devoid of entertainment factor for their pleasure. Even worse, exacerbating the problem to the detriment of society, television script writers blatantly assert with a sense of integrity that to withhold information is equivalent to lying. Let me tell you, friends, God withholds plenty of information, and according to their logic, that would name God as the most criminal liar to ever exist. They are so incorrect! -- If you accept Jesus Christ as your intercessor, then you accept him as your Salvation. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other Savior besides me." -- Them: [directed to me] religon is not somthing we talk about here This is a [game] server not a religon debate server Plus no one here cares to be apart of holy mother church everyone here is athiest Me: "we talk about" "this is" "no one here" "everyone here" If you were honest, you would speak for yourself. Every person who does not hold to the truth worships in the Synagogue of the Father of Lies (Satan). This is the situation, and you and every other self-deluding liar would rather keep the clamps over their eyes and their hands chained behind their backs and insist all others in the vicinity do what they do, whereas every person who serves the Truth listens to Jesus Christ who said, "My Kingdom is not of this world... For this reason I was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Jesus Christ speaks enough for everyone, and when he speaks, you either honor what he says or you become his enemy. He is the King, the Lord of Heaven and Earth with God the Father. God is gentle and kind and so is he, but God also has a day in mind when every soul will give an account to him and kneel before him and confess everything and then his enemies will be punished forever. Therefore, the wise choice is to say nothing if you have nothing to say that honors him. "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore, I tell you that every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come..." (Matthew 12:30). -- Them: Oh boy, the women being wary of men statement was merely an example. The same logic applies, from people's points of view, to you. "An honest man who offers free money selflessly is nigh impossible." Simple question: How can people trust someone online to give free money without any catches? Me: Are you looking for the real answer, or something that someone else might tell you? Them: It's ultimately subjective, so your answer in this case Me: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves. Whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." Why are you asking me about trustworthiness? "Why do you ask me what is good? Why do you call me good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me; they listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." "Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither be afraid. Trust in God, trust also in me. [...]" This is your answer. If you can figure out how to fit "someone online" into all of that, then you can prove to yourself that they are trustworthy. If not, then you cannot prove to yourself that anyone is trustworthy besides who was said. Once you know absolutes, you will run, not walk, away from holding yourself to following the judgements of men. Do you like being judged by other people who only do such things to honor themselves in the eyes of men? They are deceitful and dishonest -- they are back-stabbing, betraying, self-righteous, accusatory individuals who are so deeply insecure that they will condemn you to win a lollipop from their employer. Why bother with this nonsense when you can freely receive and learn what is really worthwhile, knowledge that will last you FOREVER? Them: Understood your point of view, cheers for the explanation I seek knowledge and truth by listening and understanding all sides of all debates, rather than adhere to one side. The alleged corrupt men teach me valuable lessons just as a divine being can. Valuable lessons doesn't mean morally good lessons, but each piece of knowledge about the world, whether its source is that of corruption or divinity, is valuable in forming a neutral, unbiased and rich worldview Me: Once you taste the Absolute Truth, you never go back to fodder. -- Have faith in God. When you pray, "do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid; trust in God, and trust also in me." When you pray out of fear, set aside the fear in your heart and its troubles and instead have faith in God. -- Them: I have to say this server is strangly religous for a [game] server Me: All of the sins of all of you are forgiven. Some of you will understand and others of you will not understand. "Remember the words that I spoke to you, that no servant is greater than his master. If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own, but you do not belong to the world because I have chosen you out of it and this is why it hates you. All that belong to me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me, which is that I shall lose none of all that he has given to me but raise them up during the Last Day." [directed to Them] You need what is strange in order to grow as a healthy soul. If you do not look to justice for yourself, then God will use others to bring justice to you for your improvement and health. Anyone who has said that Jesus Christ is God's Son has made a true statement, because Jesus Christ is God's Son. Them: meh I don't mind if there is a God if one exists they don't seem to concern themselves with the actions of humans much or maybe they don't belive they should interfer after all I can hardly guess what sort of ethics a God would follow if one exists Me: My work here is to please God, not to please men. I want to please God and I want you to know the truth and to improve through knowledge of God through learning what Jesus Christ said and coming to believe in him out of understanding that he speaks only the Truth. God alone is Absolutely Good. Listen to Jesus Christ. Don't be afraid of people who care nothing for your well-being and who only criticize you to try to honor themselves in the eyes of other people. Them: well he could maybe you know interfer for once Me: If you want to know the Truth, you will find it because you will listen to him. Them: and stop us from commiting ecocide or even omnicide Me: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves. Whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." "Man lives not upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God." He is seated at God's right hand in Heaven, and you have his words and can learn for yourself "if I am who I say I am, or if instead I speak on my own." Them: but hey I can't even be sure that God would create the universe for us that seems like a really self centered way to look at it the universe is incomprehensibly large we are less then what an atom is to the earth to it by we I mean like the whole planet or even solar system Me: You are rambling. If you want answers to your questions, "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. **Listen to him!**" Them: rambling is something to do through you find meaning in spreading the teachings of your religion, I find meaning in rambling Another: So, you're a deist? Them: me? Me: [Them] sounds depressed. I find this with people who lack good hope. Jesus Christ will give him hope if he wants to. Them: naw I'm good It's kinda cool to think about the scale of the universe [to me] let me ask you a simple question why is there something rather than nothing? Me: naw I'm good I already know the answers to all your questions. Jesus Christ teaches me frequently. It's exceptionally well-founded to listen to him. God is infinite. -- When you meet a blind person, leave them alone and ignore them. Yes they are desperate, yes they are pitiful, yes they desperately need Jesus Christ, no you cannot help them. They will not listen to you anyway. "Leave them. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." If you do not obey Jesus Christ in this, you will waste your time speaking to them, they will argue, become even worse as a result of their rejection of every good thing said to them, they will accuse you or ignore you, they will insult you and your Teacher, they will try to prove themselves correct through citing men's knowledge such as a dictionary or encyclopedia, and the result will be them worse than they were before, more deceived and more depraved and more guilty. Run, don't walk, away from them before they exacerbate their own spiritual demise from your good words. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." "Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you." -- Me: This is a war. Do you expect your dictionary or your foolish ego to save your life? As I said, this is a war. There are two warring sides. Good vs. Evil God vs. Satan Them: and my dictionary is evil? o_O Me: I'm not talking to you, you've already made up your mind to be an idiot. Just pay attention. I'm talking about your soul. Not your f-ing dictionary. Don't be nitwit. This war has two sides. On the one side, you have God, Jesus Christ, and his angels. This is the Kingdom of Heaven. On the other side, you have Satan the Accuser, demons, and evil angels. This is the Kingdom of Hell. By obeying God's Command, Jesus Christ overcame the Kingdom of Hell and drove it out of the world by force. The King of the Kingdom of Heaven is Jesus Christ. The "prince of this world" who was driven out by him is the Devil. The battleground of this war is Earth. The matter of the war -- what is being fought over -- is the soul of every human being. The instigator of this war is Satan. The accusation Satan, a former angel in God's Court, brings against the King and God is that God is not fit to rule his own creation. The world chose to side with Satan rather than God. Therefore, God in his wisdom sent many prophets to speak and call to the people of the world so that they would return to God. The people of the world did what their father, the Devil, told them to do, and murdered and ignored these prophets. Finally, God sent his only son to the world, specifically to the "lost sheep of Israel". This was the turning point in the war. Jesus Christ drove demons out of people and forced Hell out of the world and cast out the prince of death. Jesus Christ taught and healed and saved, and the world dishonored both him and his Father, and killed him. Just like they treated the prophets who were before him. Just like they treat his subjects today. At that point, it looked to the world as if Satan had won the war. But God was not finished, and his Glory was still doing as he was Commanded. Jesus Christ rose from the grave and continued to teach and encourage his disciples, but the world did not enjoy his presence any longer. He later returned to God in his physical form -- body and all. "Because I live, you also will live." Jesus Christ interceded for all who would believe in him. "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." The war is over. There is no more battle. Just listen to him. His Commandments are solid. Trust just in his Might. This is the age of men being called by God. "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." This is the age where people have accessible to them with great ease the words that God has said through the prophets and through Jesus Christ his Son. Yet this evil persists in the hearts of men: "evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from the heart and out of the mouth and make a man 'unclean'." So fools who do not know the stakes blindly continue in arrogance, accusing God of evil they themselves exhibit. "A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." This war is over, the battle has been won through Jesus Christ who "exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on the Earth because in these things I delight." What each person faces now is mere internal conflict -- not the war for your soul, nor the battle Jesus Christ ended, but instead "choice". Now a person has no choice in who they are, but "a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its fruit. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." So whatever problems you face in life nowadays are all in the guise of "choice" but in reality -- if you understood that you are weak and control nothing at all about your life or your fate -- you should learn in your lifetime that God is in Control, and he "holds in his hand your life and all your ways." Now is the time when Jesus Christ draws all men to himself and men must decide whether to serve him or to die in their sins. "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." John 6:40 -- For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. God wants what is good for you, for you to live. Ignore him at your own peril and demise. You may now proceed with this nonsense about a dictionary. Them: okay but what does this battle have anything to do with my dictionary saving me or not -- When you trust in Jesus Christ to be your savior, you are trusting in him to keep you safe from the constant peril you are in. And God "holds in his Hand your life and all your ways," and Jesus Christ is God's Hand. Aren't you taking seriously the fate of your soul? -- Them 1: Life itself is only a vision, a dream, nothing exists save empty space and you...and you are but a thought. Them 2: Self-refutation Thus is solipsism Them 3: would that be a bad thing? :thinking: Them 2: Well If you don't consider ex falso quodlibet as bad, then maybe. Them 4: But that would mean I am alone but there people and they would be thoughts then too ..? Them 2: As I said Self-refuting Them 4: What's that ? Them 2: It defeats itself Like saying "I can't say a word in English" Them 4: Well your tipping it not saying it but I get it ^-^ Them 3: [Them 2] RESIGNED Them 2: wat Them 5: you're resigned Me: You do realize... that Jesus Christ saying, "I am who I am" proves that Existence is real. -- Me: It's easy to spot a non-believer. They will never capitalize God's name. It's like they want to show God their middle finger every time they use his name in vain -- in their own vanity. Them 1: regarding the capitalisation, people could avoid doing it because: - they rarely capitalise words to begin with, especially on discord, where very few people are pedantic about it - they discuss god as a concept rather than referring to the Abrahamic God or equivalent specific deities jumping to conclusions that someone is not a believer because they don't capitalise "god" or they're doing it to use his name in vain is not recommended not everyone is a passive aggressive atheist who delibrately lowercases a word to apparently fulfill their vanity Me: "God" and "god" are two different words. Them 1: god is an umbrella term people use "god" to refer to any deity, whether it's the Abrahamic God, Ancient/Roman Greek Gods, etc. Me: "God" is a proper noun, not a noun. I only call one being "God" whereas the generic term "god" is reserved for a different definition. Hence two different words. "god" does not include "God". "God" does not include "god". They are two different words with very different meanings. By using the word "god" to indicate "God" specifically, a person is failing to acknowledge that God is very different from "god". Them 2: But ultimately you understood my statement. I'll be sure to capitalize God next time. [Directed to me]. Me: You said, There are many reasons why it is hard to argue with a christian without being frustrated. The reason why a person who lacks faith has difficulty justifying their arguments is because they lack acknowledgement of truth. How can you justify something if you do not know the truth? That is the situation of every non-believer. Them 2: And only the spirit of God knows God. Me: Their own lack of belief derails their capacity to argue anything relevant. How can you argue a true statement regarding someone who you believe does not actually exist? Lack of faith negates the possibility for a person to make a true statement regarding it. Their own beliefs disprove their statements. "God does not exist" is a fallacy therefore. In order to say that a being does not exist, you would need to be speaking of such a being. But in order to speak of such a being, that being must actually exist. Ergo, to state that God does not exist is a fallacy. Once could say, "The concept you hold of 'God' is incorrect," however that more direct statement is still deeply flawed -- not only is it no business of one person to judge another based upon that other person's perceptions and experience, as Jesus Christ said, "We speak of what we know and we testify as to what we have seen, yet still you people do not accept our testimony," but even more so, that person who disrespects God by definition has ruined their own image also because God created them. Them 2: I was talking about a non-religious person questioning a religious person appropriately. I never really was talking about myself being frustrated. I've been through those loops to just accept that a person believes in what they believe. I understand that the bible is the truth for christians. I was stating why others shouldn't be frustrated with what another person believes and move on. But to ridicule and judge that person based on a belief is rather hopeless. Me: What you are suggesting is the matter of getting along with people *regardless* of their beliefs. Listen to what Jesus Christ said. Them 2: Yes, and we do that every day. Me: If you listen to Jesus Christ, you will know the truth and have all the guidance you need in life along your way. You will lack no wisdom. He will tell you what is about to happen beforehand. You will always be able to rely upon him for anything. He will give you his Peace. You will have the joy of knowing him. You will have eternal life which is knowledge of "the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent". God takes care of his own, wherever they are. He will teach you each day, giving you a strong foundation against every storm. You will never go hungry and never be thirsty. His words will feed your spirit while others dwell in despair. You will have joy and perseverance in him even while others make themselves your enemies without cause. If you listen to Jesus Christ, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. You will no longer be a slave to sin and wickedness and evil, because you will have moved from death to life. He will be your intercessor in all matters, and you can rely upon him for all good things. He will give you whatever you ask for in his Name -- God will do it for you and will love you "because you have believed in God's one and only Son." His Most Revered Holy Spirit will be in you and among you forever. God will never abandon you or forsake you; Jesus Christ his Son took that upon himself also. You will see God in Jesus Christ's words, in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ in God. And you will have what no one else has: the greatest wisdom and security for all time, now and for eternity. All this can be yours if you simply listen to, and give due consideration to, what Jesus Christ has said as recorded in the Holy Bible. "Consider carefully what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and even more. Whoever has will be given more and will have an abundance. With whomever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him." "Which is easier, to say, 'your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'get up and walk'? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on The Earth to forgive sins... I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." You see that when someone interacts with another person, their effort is potentially useful to God because *God uses effort*. "My Father is always at work, even to this very day, and I am also working." -- We can pray for non-believers, but consider what Jesus Christ said, "I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me. They are mine and yours." [paraphrased]. God would sacrifice the lives of a hundred non-believing people to save the life of one child who he knows in the distant future will love him. The life of a non-believer is basically worth nothing. And yet God is merciful to all regardless of whether they are good or evil. The life of a believer is worth more than the whole world. Why? Because God is the one who is worth more than all praise and honor. He decides what is valuable and what is not valuable, and therefore what he says, goes. "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." Think about it: On the Last Day, he will return and destroy countless numbers of people who are attacking his few remaining people. That is a clear statement of value. Not only do nonbelievers feel that nothing is valuable in life (to some, besides their possessions) or of any real meaning, but that belief that they hold for themselves is a testimony against themselves, proclaiming that they have not accepted God's Values and Purpose for their lives. "I have much to say in judgment of you, but the one who sent me is reliable and what I have heard from him I tell the world." "The Son can do nothing on his own; he can do only what the Father shows him. And to your amazement, he will show him even greater things than these." -- Everything Jesus Christ said and did was done out of love. -- Anyone who has access to the scriptures in their language and yet does not listen to Jesus Christ has no excuse for their sins. Google it. God said, "Listen to him!" Therefore, anyone in this situation who does not listen to him has sinned and is guilty of disobeying God. "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.' When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father--he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry." (John 15:22). -- Luke 6:46 46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." ^ Justice Repent of sin and build a solid foundation for your life upon Jesus Christ's words. Listen to him and learn the truth, and the truth will set you free, and through faith in him and his words, you will have eternal life in his hand. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." -- "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" "Even the very hairs on your head are all numbered by God." God cares for you, so you should also care for yourself. Listen to Jesus Christ. -- So how do we actually worship God? Do we exclaim to others, "Praise God!"? If so, how are we expecting them to actually do that? This is how: "But a time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for those are the worshippers the Father [seeks/desires/accepts]. God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship him in Spirit and in Truth." So how do we worship God in Spirit and in Truth? "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life, but there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." We worship God through Jesus Christ's words. "The Son can do nothing on his own; he can only do what he sees his Father doing. ..." "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name..." "These people worship me with their mouths, but their hearts are far from me. Their teachings are merely rules taught by men." -- God said, "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." -- The barter system is useful not for value, but for exchanging surplus of one possession for the need of another thing that is lacked. If one farmer grows wheat, another raises cows, another raises chickens, and so on, then each can exchange among themselves and remain fed. Militant rulers offer a military (protection from external forces) and police (protection from domestic forces) "force", which effectively exercises force against another force. When people live in peace, there is little need for such force because there are no forces harming them. These forces essentially barter their services for "civilian" (peaceful) services, such as food so they can eat. Your body will find no nutritional value in attempting to digest an armament. You need food to survive. When these forces turned into rulers, then those rulers decided to bind the contracts of their services through money. The rulers would make a lifestyle game for their associates to follow -- with penalty of harm, jail, or forced exile from their own communities should they choose to not play such lifestyle game -- and therefore, the "civilians" would have no means of "hiring" some other ruler to assist them. Thus, through selfish desire for consistent living, factions were initiated, and the people started to develop games of mind control such as the concept of patriotism, to impose upon the minds and hearts of people to love and worship their ruler and hate and reject all other rulers and people who did not use the same currency. "Any Kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." Therefore, the human race was divided against itself as a result of the aforementioned petty insecurities and brainwashing initiated by human rulers, and the human race could no longer stand. But more than this, God divided the world into languages so that people would open their hearts to each other and seeking trying to understand and comprehend what other people were saying. "Surely, if I were sending you to a people of difficult tongue and obscure speech, they would listen! But these people who speak your own language are obstinate and stubborn-hearted, and so you must speak to them the words I give you." -- Do you believe? "God is dead." -- Nietzsche "Nietzsche is dead." -- God -- (A conversation about a fictional species of the storyline related to the computer game "Halo"): Them 1: Well, I found a pretty great description of the Flood The Flood is not a conventional threat. Killing them more solves nothing past a certain point because fundamentally the Flood is sentient and malicious God dust that will break physical laws sheerly out of contempt for life. So intrinsically tied to the fundamental nature of intelligence that it cannot be stopped conventionally without eliminating all intelligence. If intelligence exists so does the threat of The Flood. Me: What about non-intelligent life forms? Intelligence is a statement of value designed to promote men's arrogance. Them 2: non-sentient lifeforms simply get absorbed as food and biomass to further increase the flood infection Me: Are life forms with less complex nervous systems than mammals susceptible to the Flood in this description of yours? So if the Flood absorbs other nervous systems, why not absorb human nervous systems? What makes them special? Brains? Since the Flood uses its own nervous system to override the sentient nature of what it absorbs, then why bother not fully absorbing humans? It does not need to maintain their appearance after all... Them 2: what if it lives the flood absorbs it Me: Also, this could go in [related conversation location]. If you want. The Flood is basically an energy consumer that kills all life forms and uses their energy to grow its own mass. It is controlled by a gravemind. The gravemind, imposing its own sentience upon other life forms, has no reason to maintain the sentience of those life forms, but basically obtains control of the nervous system of the body it has infected. Killing the Flood is therefore a conventional threat, and all that needs to be done is to kill the gravemind. As I said, the concept of "intelligence" points directly to human arrogance, and the description you provided I see is basically the same excuse evil has for destroying all life: we cannot beat them with reason or logic, so we must kill all life because it does not worship us. If the gravemind is controlling the sentience of all its infected life forms with a nervous system, then it is unique and cannot be "stored" on those nervous systems because those nervous systems -- those brains -- are not designed to hold its information. It's like if you were to somehow be designed to control another brain that cannot control other brains, then by mirroring your brain onto that other brain, you would in essence lose your ability to control other brains altogether. There would be a loss, and you could not be fully-formed again with that capability, just as a fish's brain cannot suddenly be mapped onto a human and that fish suddenly be able to speak in foreign languages or run a marathon. You cannot gain capability by being thrown into an environment that requires you to exercise that capability. If you do not learn to swim, then by being thrown into the ocean, you will drown. Yes, you could learn how to swim, but your brain is not formed in such a way that you have that capability yet. Much less does the brain of a nervous-system-infecting-mind-controller have the possibility of regaining that potential when their mind is mapped onto a dog, or a fish, or a human. So even if the gravemind could "get out of Dodge" before you destroyed it, it would be neutered permanently. Thus, to kill the flood, kill the gravemind. But you're not really "killing the Flood" by doing that, you're merely permanently revoking its capacity to control other life forms. It could still infect them, but it could not control them; the Flood would be nothing more than a virus. And with an non-sentient virus, there can possibly be a cure, or at least easier prevention of infection, such as isolation which is what the Forerunners did. Them 3: [image of the helmet of the player-hero of the storyline] Me: You can see then that strategically, viral behavior provokes counterattack and resistance. But getting along and being nice life forms that help each other and coexist without damaging each other is a superior strategy. Isolation works for such nice lifeforms. Isolation does not work when loss of isolation will result in more damage. This is because isolation is unreliable. At some point, all sentient life forms will encounter other sentient life forms. This is a matter of the desire for control. The opposite of control is danger for "potential harm". But the opposite of control does not need to result in feelings of insecurity. The concept of the Flood is like one of the stages of Schizophrenia: the feeling like you are being invaded. Wisdom proves that people are not in control of anything, but they do make decisions and choose to act or to not act based upon them. Responses are not binary. If a force is against you, you do not have "a binary decision". You cannot control forces that are against you any more than you can control the fact that your body in outer space would result in your demise. You can try to shield yourself from "dangerous" forces. But your shields will inevitably fail. The brain proves that "fight or flight" is the binary response of most creatures who are ruled by fear, but that there are other options than the binary response. One such option is faith, the knowledge and acceptance that there is a being who is in control of what happens to you and desires to protect you without cost. Not every person is willing to accept that option. Other options, such as killing yourself, are unwise, because you simply expedite your harm in a desperate attempt to exercise the binary option of "flight". You desire safety, so that you can live, and you do not want to be afraid. Killing yourself is basically not giving you what you desire. Real faith comes from knowledge and experience, not from relinquished trust or blind trust. You don't have faith in something to sustain your life unless you know with certainty that it is trustworthy. You don't have faith in downed shields to protect you when you are choosing when to come out of cover. God said, "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." If there ever were a "mind-controlling sentient life form", it could be eliminated individually at the place it is controlled, at its head. Otherwise, if containment is effective, there is no reason to retaliate. Jesus Christ is not "mind control". God is in control, but he does not impose his control over the minds and souls of his created beings. Jesus Christ is Real Power interceding on your behalf, to protect you from harm -- all kinds of harm, according to his plans for you: spiritual harm, mental harm, physical harm, emotional harm... everything that makes up who you are can be harmed unless you are protected by him. Those who are protected by him, even when he allows them to be harmed, afterwards are given such a beautiful mercy: he comes and heals them and they are as if no harm had ever come to them, but they love him all the more for the work he did for their well-being. This is because God wants you to be free from harm. Why be miserable and afraid all the time when you can be happy and have permanent safety from the One who is Greater than All? That is where your trust should go when you are ready to place it somewhere. But all this fabricated excitement, all these stories people consciously or unconsciously devise in their minds are products of their limited imaginations. Fear is also only your imagination. But there is a proper placement for fear: fear God who, after you have mortally died, can again destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. "Yes, I tell you, fear him." If you tell God that you are afraid, he will allay your fears. -- Luke 6:46 46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." "And I tell you [who are blessed by God and believe that I am God's Son] that you are Peter [boulder], and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it." -- Real Power came down from Heaven to save your life. "Here is the true bread from Heaven, which a man may eat and not die. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." -- Jesus Christ began by saying, "The time has come. Repent and believe the Good News." Jesus Christ concluded by saying, "It is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by his own authority..." -- Make Jesus Christ your stronghold, your rock foundation. Have faith that he is always with you and will protect you at all times. Keep watch for his return on the clouds of Heaven. -- God wants you to live. He created you for his own purposes, not for your purposes. Stop making life difficult for each other. -- "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess." "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." -- Suicide? Already? You have not even been born yet! Apologize to Jesus Christ with all your heart. Jesus Christ's life is the only life that matters. Your life has no purpose, no meaning. Therefore, ask Jesus Christ to give your life meaning and his purpose for you. Them: "I am the way the truth and the life no one goes to the father except through me." - Jesus I have no clue where in Romans I memorized that. Me: "...If you really knew me, you would know my Father also [as well?]. From now on, you do know him, and have seen him." What you quoted is from John 14, specifically, John 14:8. That is a quote within the "Gospel", not within the letters afterwards; the "Gospel" is the books Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Romans and the letters following the Gospel are all more convoluted than the very clear and plain words Jesus Christ provided. Why listen to students when you can listen directly to the teacher? "Why question me? Ask those who were with me; surely they know what I said." -- The Sovereign Lord has shown me his Hand, in which he holds atheists, preventing them from falling into the fire beneath his hand. Satan says to him, "Drop them." The Lord says to me, "My Spirit will not contend with these forever!" Once when I asked to be alone with Jesus Christ, he showed me himself, and me with him off to his side. He was looking at the Universe. I looked and saw what he was looking at, and the Universe was colorful. I looked back at him and he indicated to me that his work was important. -- I asked Jesus Christ, "Out of billions of people on this planet, who's going to listen?" Here is my testimony: I was taught, I learned, I listened, and I shared, but no one would listen to me. I attempted to do what was commanded of me, but no one would let me. I gave away money and free things of interest to people, but I was ridiculed and only very few accepted anything. I gave away wisdom, but no one would accept it. I had possessions, but they were useless to others. I even offered to buy wisdom, but no one would speak to me even when I offered them an absurd amount of money for it. I set up a market for wisdom to teach these ignorant people that wisdom should be valued among men, but they ignored me and mocked me. I gave them your words and they hated me, and you told me to keep in mind that they hated you first. I did all this of my own choice; you did not send me or command me to interact with them. You knew this would happen. I deserve no reward because you did not command me to do these things. You feed me and I have attempted to share little bits and pieces with others. When they see what I have coming towards them, they swat it away like a gnat. "Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." You feed me fire and eternal life. If this is what you want, according to your plan, then it is none of my business and I will remain as a bystander who can observe. Surely they are unborn and will destroy themselves because they lack your discipline. Remember, please, how I was never worth your consideration. -- Ignorance wants to destroy you and it does not want to be cured. Jesus Christ wants to save you and he can do anything. The cure for ignorance is given by Jesus Christ. "...I will build my church..." Humans can do nothing to prevent ignorance, and the cure is not found in fostering imagination, for imagination is feeble and empowers nothing, but causes dissipations that distract from what is real. Potential is only your imagination. Fear is only your imagination. God is in control. "Do not test the Lord your God." -- What is the value of copyright? Those who claim exclusive rights to sell work doom the work to slavery and death. As soon as they can no longer obtain money through attempting to sell that work, they move on to other work that they can doom to slavery and death, and the history and access to that former work is forcefully oppressed to waste. If anyone else attempts to share that work while it is enslaved to its copyright holder, that person is forcibly penalized financially and physically, also damaging their own work and hindering the overall progress of mankind. These laws of selfish oppression are enforced by governments who in turn desire to enforce their own enslavement of their citizens to their paper currency under the same system of penalty. Thus, copyright enforcement vindicates slavery. Anyone who speaks out against slavery will be harmed by the enforcers of slavery, because the enforcers of slavery are enslaved to evil. "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil." --Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Absolute Truth who the enslavers murdered "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." --Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Absolute Truth who the enslavers murdered -- God told man to spread throughout the Earth. The Tower of Babel was of contradictory intention, so God created languages to ensure division so that man would obey him. -- Man's "justice" is not God's Justice. Jesus Christ is God's Living Justice. "Man does not live upon bread alone [corporeal food] but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God [spiritual food]." "I am the bread of life. [...] The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day." "God is not God of the dead, but God of the living; to him, all are alive." This means that death does not bring you any closer to God. -- "Unless their empirical claims can be proven false, 'conspiracy theorist' is nothing less than a derogatory slur used to avoid direct, rigorous assessment of troubling arguments that potentially uncover systemic forms of corruption, domination, and oppression." -- Richard G. Ellefritz, Ph.D. "I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and we testify as to what we have seen, yet still you people do not accept our testimony." News media calling investigators "conspiracy theorists" is used as a derogatory slight in their efforts to obstruct justice. We live in an age of people diseased with a plague of arrogance. This is why people interrupt each other: they implicitly assert and have accepted that they are superior to the person speaking to them. "I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe. How then could you believe if I spoke to you of heavenly things?" The cure to arrogance is accepting Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. Am I the only person who sees this as the only solution? Surely I am not the only person who knows this is the only cure among approximately 7 billion people. We were brainwashed by the news media for years after the event, and now there is no acknowledgement or interest in its mention. It seems the interest of the news media ceased abruptly with the motives of the government administration. That fact seems to scream "smoking gun", especially given the systematic denial of attention and complete lack of acknowledgement towards scientific investigations. The news media uses the term "conspiracy theory" to flagrantly state this simple synonym: "I care nothing for truth." "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- Jesus Christ. And yet if a person speaks a quote from God on the air, they will be implicitly shunned and ignored as a "nut job" or some other divisively arrogant conclusion. "We speak of what we know..." including thousands of experts reviewing evidence who are blatantly insulted. "We testify as to what we have seen..." including many eyewitness accounts blatantly ignored by the "official" NIST investigation touted as "well it must be correct just because it was presented by the government". Does this not anger those who value truth? Does not your heart burn with comprehending the blatant lies and deceit force-fed to you by those who stand to profit from their illusion? War was never necessary in the history of the Earth. Yet even today, governments find excuses to wage it and murder our neighbors for their own fabricated and illusory arguments. Satan uses gaslighting, a technique of deceit, like he used against Adam. "Did God *really* tell you to not eat from the fruit of this tree?" In the same way, those who wage excuses to disobey God serve the Devil. "Do not kill." A simple commandment. How do we so easily break this Law? They will not listen to me anyway. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." So angels and men have said, "The Lord rebuke you, Satan!" for they know that Jesus Christ said, "...but there is one who seeks [glory for himself], and he is the Judge." "Do not fear the rebuke of mortal men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will devour them like wool. The heavens will vanish like smoke and the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end." Them: well as long as they aren't shoving it in my face violently, i'm fine with it Me: You mean to say you are fine with your ability to ignore them, "turn them off", or pretend they don't exist. Nothing gets solved by ignorance. But would they listen to you? Who knows! :smile: After all, if they don't listen to the Master who knows everything, why would they listen to you? Them: Then, who's this "Master" Me: Jesus Christ obviously. "All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm, you will gain life." "If they listened to me, they will listen to you." Them: I'd prefer to refer to him as Lord, Saviour, Son of God, etc. Me: So the world of men is perpetuating towards ignorance, malice, anger, and violence. Them: It's not like we can do much about it anyway all we can do is put our lifes in the hands of Jesus and obey God Me: Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Them: i don't pretend they don't exist, just my personality is to not trust anyone Me: People are entirely interested in their own capacity and abilities, totally missing the point of their existence. Google "how can I" and "how to" to see the results of such interests of men. "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God but the interests of men." (etc.) "What is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." Men value their own abilities in the pursuit of glorifying themselves in the eyes of other people. "You judge by human standards; I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgments are correct, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day." Them: Again, still no scripture references. Me: I have spoken out of joy and sharing, and for this I have been hated. "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil." I cite from memory, google it if you want to know where it's written -- if you don't already know like I do. I speak not of citation, but of reason. If you are unfamiliar with what Jesus Christ has said, then I encourage you to pursue that education wholeheartedly. :smile: Them: I'm still "pre-Christian" as in, I'm still being taught about that stuff Me: Ah, yes, a person who has not yet fully investigated has not yet fully believed. Belief follows investigation and experience with being taught by God. I know and can certify by my own life and experience that everything Jesus Christ says is the Absolute Truth. I certify by Reason, Logic, and Experience. Thus, I tend to lack the desire to cite verse numbers when I cite the truth. I hold what I have learned by its reason and logic and rationale, not by its position in a book. I have seen and understood, and this is convincing enough to certify truth. If you have not yet considered, then you cannot yet understand. "With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and even more. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him." Them: I'm still juggling with doubts in my head. Me: You do realize that doubts about God do not come from God. "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined." Them: It means Satan is messing with my head. or something Me: Or it means you have seen a glimpse of the fact that you are weak. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Any man who trusts in himself will perish by himself according to his own weakness. There is only one Strength. Everything else is relative Weakness. "My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me." It is almost September 11th again. Can you honestly say that you value truth? Them: What's on septe- oh right 9/11 Me: 9/11/2001 Them: That was almost 16 years ago Me: 16 years and the truth is still ignored. Almost a generation later, and the fools are still winning public opinion. Them: Truth as in conspiracy or bible related truth Me: Why do you ask me what the truth is? John 18:20. John 18:34-40. Them: I'm not asking what truth is I'm asking which you consider to be truth conspiracy, bible, or both Me: You asked for Bible numbers, so there they are. Them: Yeah I can see that Me: And you can read the truth if you want it. Them: What are your thoughts on the events of 9/11 Me: http://911freefall.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FF-Truth-Revealed.jpg IF YOU WANT IT Them: how true is it? Me: Why do you ask me what is true? If you want to know what is true, then find out for yourself so you will know. Luke 22:67-71. You will see that the truth speaks for himself. -- "I, the Lord, do not change." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." -- "Every kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." I know that I am not worth Jesus Christ's time and consideration. I am weak. "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." This refers to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being thrown into the fire by King Nebuchadnezzar. It also refers to Hell. The facts force all believers to be divided against themselves. But this is OK, because God is and will always be the only Strength and the only one in control. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." Those who believe in God trust in God. "Have faith in God. Trust in God and do not rely upon your own understanding." "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom [nor of any other capabilities or matters of self] but let anyone who boasts [only] boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things I delight." "There will be one flock, and one shepherd." "My Kingdom is not of this world." -- Them: Regarding tarikja's ban - The link he posted was most likely out of an offensive sense of humour rather than malice - From what it seems, he kept asking you to tell him what's in his heart yet - from what I have read - you haven't given him a direct answer and instead told him to seek answers from God. For a non-believer, that doesn't work and it would be preferable to either answer him directly or answer on God's behalf Me: I am guessing that you expect one of two responses. Insist that my actions are justifiable and attempt to prove the assertion through excuses. Relent and consent that my actions were not good and decide to un-ban him, or perhaps apologize. Now these are expected responses, but they are not the only responses. Do not let your expectations rule your psyche. In the same way, I know that tarikja does not listen to God and does not listen to me. Rather than entertain his delusions and an extended argument that he results in deluding himself having won, as if reason and logic were contestable, I chose to skip to what God was telling me to do which I saw as the only correct path. If you find this objectionable, then I challenge you to seek a higher authority for your psyche and comprehensions. If in your heart you desire to honor God, then God will guide you and support you. If in your heart you desire to honor yourself, then why should God have anything to do with you? Most of my life, I have been told to "shut up" and be quiet, to sit still, to not object or argue, to offer no suggestions for improvement, and to let people have their way with me and others without a peep. How can there be justice if no one listens to God? Men whip you with their arrogance and you expect all manner of discourse to lack questions? -- Them: I'm curious. Do you agree with the Nashville statement? https://cbmw.org/nashville-statement Me: Are you asking if I agree with this? https://cbmw.org/about/statement-of-faith/ Them: No [The articles.] Me: Luke 4:14-30. Luke 11:27-54. "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But give what is inside the dish to the poor, and everything will be clean for you." "...but you neglect justice and the love of God..." "...you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them..." "...you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering." "...do not worry about your life...the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his Kingdom, and [everything else you need] will be given to you as well." "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth... but in Heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." "...the Son of Man will [return] at an hour when you do not expect him." Mark 10:1-34. "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female'. 'For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate."..."Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." Them: So... that's a yes? Me: Therefore, I tell you that marriage is not the human institution, but a two-way desire to be unified with a person of opposite gender. "If anyone looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart." So if the consent is not mutual, then the one who has lust in their heart is committing adultery. But God can keep you from adultery by preventing lust in your heart. An overt act of intercourse is bad unless the two individuals are of opposite gender and both consent to the marriage and all other matters relating to it are decent in God's sight. Therefore, I tell you that it is not for man to judge another man. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." "Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive; give and it will be given to you." By principle, I disagree with the premise of the web site you linked. "My Kingdom is not of this world." To generalize statements of faith for others to sign is by definition dishonest, because "But God knows your hearts." Them: I was referring to the others, though Me: Rather, I suggest presenting information for others to consider, as in books, not as in petitions. To sign a statement of faith is to avert the responsibility for genuine consideration. A person who is pure in heart will not merely accept the assertions of others, but God will bring them to recognize Jesus Christ's voice. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me." To say that an inter-human relationship mimics a relationship between God and man is a false assertion. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. Love your neighbor as if they were you." But as for what I agree with or disagree with, no one of consequence cares, and only God has the right to care if he chooses. Because only God has the right to overrule the heart of anyone, because only God is good. "Man lives not upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "...but there is one who seeks [glory for himself], and he is the Judge." "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because you are with me." -- Regarding September 11, 2001: I'm tired of all the finger-pointing, all the casting of blame. "Do not point the finger." And it's no longer 9/11/2017, so it's time to move on from this topic? There may very well have been a directed energy weapon focused upon NYC. It may very well have completely pulverized the steel and concrete, vaporizing it in midair as the footage seems to depict. There may also have been bombs, and airplanes flying into buildings. World governments may actually be thoroughly corrupted, conspiring among themselves to destroy and instigate war to manipulate us towards hating and killing each other. But the bottom line is this, and it is written in their own law against them (about the Jews against the Jews): Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning's light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance. Therefore, the Lord says: "I am planning disaster against this people, from which you cannot save yourselves. You will no longer walk proudly, for it will be a time of calamity. In that day people will ridicule you; they will taunt you with this mournful song: 'We are utterly ruined; my people's possession is divided up. He takes it from me! He assigns our fields to traitors.'" Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the Lord to divide the land by lot. "Do not prophesy," their prophets say. "Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us." You descendants of Jacob, should it be said, "Does the Lord become impatient? Does he do such things?" "Do not my words do good to the one whose ways are upright? ..." (Micah 2). and "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. ..." (Habakkuk 2). and finally "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." Surely, both salvation and ultimate consequences come from the Lord of all Creation. Therefore, I tell you, accept with peace those who plot evil. Do not accept their actions, but love them while recognizing that they are tragically enslaved to sin and evil. There is a cure, and his name is Life. He does not operate with the consent or knowledge of man, for he said, "My Kingdom is not of this world," and "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it." Anyone who claims to build the church of God is a liar and a deceiver, because this declaration has been freely made known to mankind. The Jews are not sacred by nature. Jesus Christ will not come down from Heaven to vindicate or defend their plot of dirt. Rather, he will come down from Heaven to save his church -- his Kingdom, which is not of this world. Those who murder and deceive he will punish, and those who obey his Commands of Life he will vindicate. All people on Earth will pass away, whether by the hand of their neighbor or by natural causes... but for whatever reason, "do not fear those who kill the body but afterwards cannot do you any further harm. I will tell you who to fear. Fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." Do what you know is right regardless of what anyone tells you. "Do not be afraid of them. Everything concealed will be disclosed, and everything hidden will be made known." This is why anyone who values truth must look to the God of Truth to find their guidance. Men blame each other and kill each other for no reason at all. This is the fate and tragedy of those who disregard the God of Truth. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." If you do not want to be manipulated and brainwashed by the arguments of those who seek to extort you and bend your mind and heart and will to their own desires so they can use you to commit atrocities, then you must dig deep roots into a solid foundation. And I know that solid foundation: Jesus Christ. Unless you make a concerted effort to listen to Jesus Christ's words and learn from him and God through him, you remain vulnerable to attack not only by men who want to waste your life, but to evil which wants to destroy your soul. With a foundation upon Truth, you will spot evil from a distance and know to avoid it. Even if you are deceived in one matter, a foundation upon Truth will mean that Truth will protect you from harm because he dwells within you. Above all else, remember that God is loyal and jealous for you beyond measure. If you wander away, he will find you and return you to safety with great joy. "My ways are not your ways. As the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and are my ways higher than your ways." "Well do I know your suffering." Do not let anyone deceive you into thinking that God is agnostic or apathetic or ignorant about what happens on his Footstool. God knows very well what happens at every moment, and "the eyes of the Lord are on the sinful kingdom," which means that nothing at all can escape his knowledge. His plan is more glorious than all human imagination, both good and evil, and even though we will always be weak, trust and know that God is always Almighty. "Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from the will of your Heavenly Father. Even the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid, little flock, for you are worth more than many birds." Men could care nothing about your life, but God is the one who controls everything that happens to you. "Who are you that you fear mortal men and think nothing of the Lord who holds in his hand your life and all your ways?" Them: [name] you write so much long Me: *wink* I guess in sum, good and evil are not redefined by men. -- Life is not what is being sold to you. Life is not what they are selling you. No fabric of men's minds defines it. Only one author makes everything. I'm done writing. -- Them: "If you agree, that its wrong in any circumstances to rape, torture and kill little babies for fun, then you agree that objective moral values exist. Since that is the case, this takes you to really believe much more than you might think you do. This is a very big thing that you are admitting here. I don't think you realized how big. You are saying that you are confident -- you have a reasonable certainty -- that something exists somewhere in a realm which you can't see, taste, touch, smell or hear. You believe something exists that you can't prove empirically. Think for a moment about a moral absolute. Where did it come from?" Me: Any logic of men, any wisdom of mortals, terminates with mortal minds. The reason of a person dies with that person, regardless of how many other mortal people share that belief. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." You cannot win an argument related to absolute truth with arguments that are vindicated only by ego or human desire or human standards or human minds. All this mortal chaff will vanish. "I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end. I am the Lord your God and there is no other savior." "Will a mortal man argue for the Sovereign Lord God Almighty? The Lord dwells in Heaven. Let all the Earth be silent before him. Heaven is my throne and the Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place would you build me, or where can my resting place be? Has not my Hand made all these things?" "I do not accept human testimony," is what Jesus Christ said. Yet he sent out his disciples, saying, "and you also must testify, because you have been with me since the beginning [since I called you to follow me]." But consider this, if nothing else: Why should I write all that I write about God if no one has any desire whatsoever to know God? If the joy that I share is not met with your salvation, then you have not perceived the one to whom I am pointing. Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Me: If you have not yet learned from Jesus Christ, God's only Son who came down from Heaven to heal, teach and save from death, then you are wasting time. What are you waiting for, and why do you entertain ignorance for such a long duration? Set for yourself a plan to fully consider all that Jesus Christ has said. I'm telling you that only after you have done so will you truly be free. The Lamb of God will open your eyes and discipline you with Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness and he will guide your heart, mind, soul and will to eternal life. "...and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." This is a journey every living soul needs to start and pursue in order to begin living. "The thief only comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come so that [you] may live and have life to the fullest." "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and I will never turn away whoever comes to me, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of the one who sent me. And this is his will: that I shall not lose any of all who he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." Them: There's no proof that god exists lol Me: He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:13-14). Them: *thinking* Them: What's your interpretation of that incredibly vague text Them: I follow Atheism Them: I'd also just like to point out that it's really easy to plant trees And they're exactly like the trees that were "planted before man" Atheism is silly. God cannot be disproven. I don't know how anyone could sit there and say that god doesn't exist when he's outside the realm of science Them: (directed to Them) I am Atheism Them: Atheism exists because the views of the people differs God cannot be proven either Me: Invest in God. "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." Consider carefully what you are doing. Are you drawing people towards God, or are you dragging people away from God? If you are listening to Jesus Christ, then you must serve Jesus Christ. If you are fighting Jesus Christ, then you are serving God's enemy. If you are making yourself God's enemy, then God will never reveal himself to you, either in this Age or in the next. The only hope you have is Jesus Christ. "Those living in darkness have seen a great light. Upon those living in the valley of the shadow of death, a light has dawned." Your decrepit nature is your fault. You have access to the truth and yet you ignore him. What case will you plead before the Almighty when he demands your life from you? You have no excuse, not even lack of knowledge. "If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet have hated both me and my Father, and they have no excuse for their sin." What will I say to the Almighty when I see you kneeling before him? Nothing; because he knows it all anyway. "I told you that I am going away and that you will die because of your sins. If you do not believe that I am who I claim to be, you will certainly die because of your sin." Atheism is the assertion that you cannot know something because you currently do not know it. That is the servant of folly, which is an evil that comes from your heart, as Jesus Christ explained. It is also the servant of arrogance because you implicitly claim to be all-knowing even as you prove your assertion false by definition. It is as foolish as Relativism which claims license to wanton and foolhardy actions at the whim of the self, which is an enemy of discipline. "God disciplines those he loves, as a Father disciplines the child in whom he delights." You cannot be smart if you reject discipline. Jesus Christ is the Teacher and disciplines all who belong to God. You love to make assertions of intellectual verbiage, but as Jesus Christ said to you before, "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering." (Luke 11:52). eligi ad veritatem servandam "My Kingdom is not of this world." You live as a creature, yet neglect your Creator. How dare you assert to another creature that there is no Creator? Your assertion, like Relativism, is a self-denying proposition, saying, "It is true for everybody that *nothing* is true for everybody." Like Chris Stefanick has said, you deny your finite nature. Why? As Jesus Christ has explained, "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false," and "You judge by human standards. I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgments are correct, because I seek not to please myself but to please the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all who he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day..." You are blind yet claim to see. You are foolish yet entertain arrogance and folly in your claims of knowledge, even as your assertions both explicit and implicit deny their own validity. What makes you think you have any right to speak? Those who have accepted humbleness in God's sight know that Jesus Christ's consideration is granted by his Grace. You fools should be quiet and listen to Jesus Christ so that you might live because of the knowledge he has all this time been more than willing to reveal to you. How can you hope to know and love God if "you have never heard his voice nor seen his form nor know his words because you do not believe the one he sent"? -- Them: ''We function as moral beings and employ reasoning and express ourselves in logical communication because we are reflecting something about our Creator - something about our maker - something about the true nature of reality - as opposed to being purely accidental by-products - spinning out from haphazard mindless unintentional purposeless processes.'' Free-will and innate moral sense only make sense only if theism is true. Conversely, the materialism/physicalism of atheism necessitates hard determinsim. Such thinking militates against common sense which eliminates free-will and moral obligations. No sane individual or society lives as though free-will and moral obligation are non existent. Additional points in this regard: A. Moral duty cannot originate from a theory that is about organisms that adapt to their enviroment by exploiting the weak. B. Evolution by natural selection is a theory about organisms adapting to their enviroment by exploiting the weak. C. Therefore, moral duty cannot originate from evolution by natural selection. Me: I disagree. If a person thinks that their standards of right and wrong are some kind of advancement in evolution for the sake of "good things" -- that is, survival and reproduction of the human race, then they still have no foundation for knowing God. All this is simplified by what Jesus Christ explained: man is not God. God created man. Man did not create God. As Chris Stefanick joked, "The difference between God and you is that God never thinks he's you." Them: What exactly do you disagree with? Me: "Go throughout all the world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. ..." (Mark 16:15-16). The role of believers is to point to Jesus Christ. The role of believers is not to try to use human wisdom to convince non-believers that God exists. -- I am woefully under-qualified to say anything about God. Who can speak of him? God speaks of himself through Jesus Christ his Living Mouth and Hand and Son. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "From the lips of babies and infants you have ordained praise." Surely anything I say is flawed and partial. Why say anything when it is inherently inaccurate? Set aside your troubles, worries, fears, and problems, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Give God your troubles, worries, fears, and problems, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy and has loved you with an everlasting love. -- Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. Then he sent some more servants and said, "Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet." But they paid no attention and went off -- one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, "The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find." So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. "Friend," he asked, "how did you get in here without wedding clothes?" The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants, "Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." For many are invited, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:1-14. ^ I posted that in all the Discord channels I'm in. Let's see the sword of Justice again, which additional servers ban me. The sword is division, and Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. I was just banned from at least one server. Christians are accused of being intolerant, but we don't ostracize or ban people for their beliefs. It is those who do not have room in their hearts for God who reject his words and all those who show those words. Thus, it is actually non-Christians who exhibit intolerance by definition. For God commanded, "Love your neighbor as if they were you." God also commanded, "Do to others what you would have them do to you." God commanded, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will," and said, "If you love me, you will obey my commands." God wants each person to entrust themselves to him, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. God commanded, "Love your neighbor as if they were you," and "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other." God wants each person to do good to the people around them, and to soften their heart to them and be considerate and kind to them. "Do not boast of wisdom, strength or riches, but [...] that you understand and know me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth because I delight in these things." It is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ, but those who lack love for God in their hearts also dishonor Jesus Christ by rejecting all those who do listen to him. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Jesus Christ is the one God sent, and God commanded everyone to listen to him. So where can you find Christians? "My Kingdom is not of this world." You don't find them in church, nor in any organization, but "I do not seek glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it and he is the Judge." "A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known me nor my Father." "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing further. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not several birds sold cheaply by men? Yet not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Even the hairs on your head are numbered. Do not worry, because you are much more valuable than birds." "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." -- Genesis 1:28 and Mark 16:15. -- Them: Hey, [me]? Respectfully, could you not post material of that nature here? At least, not in that particular way? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Scripture, I do, but, as I understand it, this isn't the time/place for material of that profound nature. I'm guessing that no one has told you that, which might mean that certain server rules may not be as understood as folks might assume... (Hint hint, O people-in-charge... whoever you are.) But, yeah, regardless, I'm pretty sure that posting that type of material when nobody asked for it is... well, harmless, but perhaps considered annoying by a few. shrugs I don't actually know everyone's reactions. Anywho. Just thought I'd ask. Feel free to DM me if you've got any questions. Much love to you and yours. Me: Catering to some imagined base form of human intellect as a common public appeal is one way to devolve as a society. -- I'm tired. The projects I have imagined for myself rest as burdens completely on myself with no one to help and hardly anyone to care. The projects all involve services for those who probably would never use them and would see them as redundant or pointless. Getting them to happen involves years of surveying the users, brainstorming, experimenting, learning, and developing, and I pursue each goal without ever giving up on the agenda. Frustration, effort, motivation, and reason all become burdens that drag me down and cause me despair. Think what you will about yourself, but I know and understand much more than anyone is willing to accept. Though my many years of consideration and effort has been given to this community, I work alone because all throughout my life I have been a leader among my peers and could never relate to them. Now I mostly serve those younger than me, to inspire them, even though they will not listen to me anyway. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, but his calling takes a person away from everything, especially their own goals. This division also curses whatever service I might present to people. I am not the kind of person who is employed by others, and that is why they do not hire me. I enter and hone and improve, and most people run away from that. Mark 8:31-9:1. I don't know how much longer I can do any of this or be a part of this community. Who would do what I'm doing, especially because there is no profit in sight? Obviously, that means most people question my motives. That includes both those I seek to help and those who set their own expectations of me. I left behind my former life -- and location -- in an attempt to remove all those expectations. Concluding my activities among others, including school, was a relief therefore. I pursued all I have been doing for this community, and my own education from God. I've attempted to get many people from several locations to simply listen to what I knew would help them, and in most cases, I was considered strange and alienated, and generally rejected. These are the same people I worked so tirelessly to help in other ways also. I have therefore isolated myself from all others and pursued my silence away from them. I'm tired of being judged, insulted behind my back, forcefully having expectations held over my head by those who are basically wasting my time, I'm tired of being ignored even by those who hold respect for me, I'm tired of setting goals for myself which I see that God doesn't even care about, I'm tired of having no one want to listen to me or read what I try to share with them, I'm tired of never being able to say no to anyone, I'm tired of all this burden, and most of all I'm tired of existing on this stupid footstool whose owner is telling me to do something I can't do or disciplines me otherwise. I'm tired of myself and I'm tired of my existence; I'm tired of who I am and where I am and the internal conflicts and external conflicts. I'm tired of knowing and perceiving the souls of others but having them always reject me, and I'm tired of not being able to simply serve God in anything besides my own listening to Jesus Christ. I'm tired of my own need for discipline and for being a "rebel from birth". I'm tired of being appreciated and I'm tired of people looking at me when they could be looking to Jesus Christ in admiration instead. I'm not tired of this community, but I have no place anywhere. Neither my own agenda or service and help nor anything else I can imagine is suitable for me. Among all this, I am considered by many people to be "blessed" and "a genius" and extraordinarily talented or "gifted". What's the point? I write letters to God and I burn them in the backyard. Who cares what I say? It's not like anything I do or say will last anyway. I try to absorb and immerse myself in all I can that is eternal -- God's words, Jesus Christ's words. That's important and was given to me so I could live forever. I reject my own life but still have this hope that God would see me as worth living forever. That doesn't make any sense. You do absurd things all the time without even realizing it; people set for themselves and others ridiculous expectations all the time. When you press a key on a computer keyboard, you expect a lowercase letter. Look at the keyboard. Are the letters printed in uppercase or lowercase? The user needs to hold down the shift key or use the caps lock key in order to get the keys to do what they are indicating they will do, in order to get them to work properly. You see, that mentality is present throughout all of people's efforts and work. This low quality consideration and logic and resulting absurdity is the result of expectations. Whenever you have human expectations placed on something, the result is low quality and absurd. I spent the past few days trying to network two Windows computers. I scoured the Internet for help and found hardly anything worth the days of reading and attention I gave it. Networking two computers is something so simple to computer technology that I would expect that "feature" to come standard with the computer or operating system. But no, it has to be completely absurd and difficult to make two computers send data to each other. The set up must rather be incredibly difficult and then, once I do manage to get it to work, some other bug in the software halts all progress and drives me to cease the entire effort and determine days of my time were wasted, just because some nitwits were given human expectations and the results were therefore absurd. In all of this, haven't we learned yet that machines do not respond to human desires, will, or expectations? But no, we continue to instead irrationally hold expectations of machines, blaming ourselves and each other for lack of capability to alter the machines -- calling it programmer error. Thus, we treat ourselves and each other like machines, because the expectations we have of machines is redirected back to ourselves and each other and exacerbated by further lack of having those now irrational expectations met. Irrational, because we do not want to think that our capabilities are inferior to machines, and rejecting the role of psyche when we instead want mechanical actions. We expect immediate results of ourselves and others -- immediate satisfaction when that cannot be rationally present. The satisfaction we obtain from the actions of machines is self-gratifying -- doing what we tell it to do, showing us the words we input for it to show us. This pleases us because it gives a false sense of obedience; but there is no psyche or will that we have imposed upon, merely a reflection of our own actions. What is the result? A lack of capability for consideration towards humanity, a lack of human interaction, and a lack of capacity for intelligent consideration and compassion towards other people. Whatever comfort we have around others thus becomes as shallow as expectation, and that is what we face in every social interaction we have, whether it is family or foreign or work or spiritual, that is the expectation -- and that is the cause of absurdity and low quality results. Instead, each individual must find reason and motivation for whatever they believe they should do, and then pursue that goal as rational, even among all those around them who want them to be silent. This act is meaningful, and must be given proper consideration, because your capacity for reason and understanding will offset the expectations of yourself and others which will try to derail you into absurd and low quality results. In short, you must have in mind God's interests rather than human interests. Listen to Jesus Christ. Why consider anything else? -- I did a presentation for some relativist people in a religious setting, and I couldn't even get through this recording because one lady there looked like she was going to flip out, she was huffing and sighing and looking like she was going to have a panic attack (obviously fake, of course). https://soundcloud.com/liquid-lightning/relativism-by-chris-stefanick My presentation was scheduled weeks in advance and advertised, and this lady who was part of this religious group that mandated tolerance was too intolerant of what Chris Stefanick was saying that I couldn't even finish playing the recording. This is the kind of bullshit that these subscribers to arrogance and self-worship fling at those who humble themselves and worship God. This speech is mild compared to what is coming, when "as surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." One snippet of my social experiences among those who are hypocrites through-and-through, who absolutely cannot tolerate me. Why? Because I know the truth and they refuse to listen to truth. Even when I am silent, I represent truth to them, so they shun me and I become ostracized. Little do they understand, it is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ. No one told me this, I learned it from him on my own. And people claim he does not exist. "False prophets" I know the meaning of life, and they refuse to learn what it is, because they serve themselves and will therefore ultimately die with their gods. https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/28-9.htm Will you then say, "I am a god," in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you. So because in their hearts they ultimately serve themselves, they will perish ultimately. All because they refuse to accept the cure to arrogance: "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation." A smart person can see that arrogance is evil, and faith in mortal beings is misplaced, and trust in anything besides Absolute Truth is destined to be disappointed. "Guides of the blind" Like the Pied Piper, they gather all the blind around them and lead them to the pit of despair and demise that God has placed before those who follow them, "If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Come follow me, let's do whatever we want! *dies the next moment* "We take the rails off of a train and think we are freeing people." -- Chris Stefanick "God disciplines those he loves as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." Doesn't that mean people should be asking God for discipline? https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/28-18.htm By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. This is what happens to anyone who does not testify to the truth. God makes them confess the truth and it destroys them and shames them publicly because they refused to accept it. They may not let the words come out of their mouth, but the coals are still burning inside them, and to everyone who knows the truth, their nakedness and guilt is obvious. Arrogance does not actually work. It fails every time. And this is good, because arrogance is evil, as Jesus Christ explained: "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. What comes from inside a person makes them unclean, for out of the heart come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All of these evils come from inside a person and make them unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make a person unclean." I was in a store once, getting some work done for my business (self-employed), and I saw a man there with his children who were tearing up this store's property. I told them, "You know that you are not supposed to be doing this. Go stand over by your father." Some of them went, then another came back and continued. I told him, "You are undisciplined. A smart person has discipline. If you are never disciplined, you will never be smart. Is that what you want?" He started crying and went back to his dad. He got his dad's attention -- like I was the problem here -- and his dad asked me what I did. I told him, "Sir, please discipline your children." He flipped out, and started hollering at me right there in the store, "I will not discipline my children!" he hollered at me. Then he started criticizing me and insulting me, and told me to apologize to his child. I looked at the child and he stopped crying on his own... maybe he actually understood what I said? The man told me that I was angry with him (I was not) and asked me if he wanted to get the store manager. I told him, "Yes, please." The man then continued his rambling and I said, "Let us speak with the manager." He then snuck out as I was explaining the situation to the manager, that his kids were destroying company property... ...Then a lady standing nearby started taunting me, "Your mother didn't discipline you," or something like that. And when I didn't respond, she said, "I'll meet you outside." I looked at her and said, "Ma'am, if you threaten me, I will call the police." She didn't back off, so I walked up to her and held my hands out to an employee nearby, indicating to her that I wanted her to deal with this. I walked back to my work and the employee stood by the phone and said, "I will call the police." The lady who was insulting me left the store, and I later wrote a letter to the company describing the problem with these kids and how the parent could have sued the store if his kids hurt themselves with the scissors and sharp objects they were cutting up and ruining. These are the kinds of people ... ... who are intolerant of truth and discipline. And people think I'm stupid or anti-social for claiming that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Fools! How many people does it take to make a planet? How many people does it take to raise a person from the dead? "With man this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible." Lack of acknowledgement of one's own weakness is both ignorance and fearful arrogance due to lack of desire to know and accept the truth. There is only one strength. Everything else is relative weakness. But we misuse the words, "good", and "strong", because we are faithless and willfully blind. Do you want to believe the truth of reality? "Why do you ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "...But all that can only lead you to the threshold of surety when it comes to faith in God. Eventually, with the help of grace, you have to close your mouth on the food. You have to close your mind and soul on that truth. And in that moment, that act of faith, that's when joy is born. That's when hope is born. That's when you know that the meaning of life is not something that you made up for yourself, but it's real. It's real." -- Chris Stefanick You must acknowledge that you are a finite being and determine to listen to God through Jesus Christ who draws us to himself "with faithful, loving kindness". https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/31-3.htm It is not my opinion, it is "we speak of what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, and yet still you people do not accept our testimony." I speak from my own experience and knowledge and understanding as I have been taught by the only true God. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." If you claim to want to know the truth, but in your heart do not desire to listen to Jesus Christ who is the Truth, then you are a liar and a hypocrite. Ultimately, liars will never know the truth. Those who are dishonest and lack honor of God... "I honor my Father and you dishonor me." ...will never know God. ...until Jesus Christ intercedes on their behalf and chooses to save them from Death and Sin. "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." This is real. Pay attention. But no, "I want to do my own thing and whatever I want and you have no right to tell me what I have no right to do!" Hypocrisy at its finest. "you have no right... to tell me I have no right..." oops, you just became a hypocrite. neither do you have a right to tell me i have no right to tell you you have no right... Faith is a gift -- a present -- something given to a person, "You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit -- fruit that will last." "And there will be one flock, and one shepherd." "My Kingdom is not of this world." "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth. For them I have sanctified myself, that they also may be truly sanctified." If you want to make a difference in this world, if you want your life to have meaning, if you want to do something worth something, you must first learn about the truth. "Then the truth will set you free." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [The Father is in me, and I am in the Father.]" "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." How can you willfully deny yourself knowledge of God? Are you that much an enemy of yourself? Do you reject food when someone holy gives it to you when you are hungry because you hate what is holy out of rejection of truth? God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- If a person says, "There is only one truth," this refers to not human truth but Absolute Truth. Absolute Truth creates reality in himself; Jesus Christ's Father holds Existence in himself. "I the Lord do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and have not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you. ...Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it all." Human truth means facts that a person can comprehend. Jesus Christ teaches us about himself, and gave his flesh and blood so that "whoever would believe in him will not perish but have eternal life through him." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "For this reason I was born and came into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "I am the bread of life. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. Your forefathers ate manna in the desert and yet they died. Here is true bread from Heaven which a man may eat and not die. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ... Does this offend you? What if you see the Son of Man rise to where he was before? The Spirit gives life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." Have a nice day. -- Among a person's activities, God is the one who is present and does meaningful actions for his purposes. -- I just talked with my mother about God and she flipped out at me. She basically said she agreed with others that I am crazy and then in the next breath denied saying so. She has no comprehension about what I am saying. She believes in Jesus Christ but basically thinks I am nuts for talking about him in any detail. I knew she would not listen, and I told her I knew beforehand. Why? Because I challenged everything like Jesus Christ does. She has grown up to accept the matters and behaviors of the world, and sought to learn those worldly things. She would certainly deny that, but that is how it is. In fact, all that is spoken by me is construed as "non-Christian" and the conversation concluded violently with her rejecting me and saying I have something wrong with me, like "other people" claim about me. I did nothing wrong to her. I simply perceived motivations and reasons for her actions that she was too afraid to see herself. So out of fear, she became angry. And of course asking questions of any kind resulted in an attempt to categorically deny everything she had done. So apparently, there is "something wrong with me" for knowing Jesus Christ and wanting to share information about him with others. Or if not that, then there is "something wrong with my presentation" or how I look, or some other stupid scapegoat excuse for a person to not actually listen or understand what I am saying. No. Actually, these people won't listen to me anyway, regardless of who I am. I could be an angel appearing in bright light and they would not accept my words. I could be a man risen from the dead and they would not listen. Stubborn fools! You will all get what is coming to you, with no hope of escape! By the time you want to learn from Jesus Christ, he will proclaim to you the truth of it being too late! If you do not spend your lifetime now learning from him, what makes you think you could fool God into believing you would accept anything he says when the time of judgment comes upon you? -- If you beat on the wall of impertinent social expectation -- the wall erected by blind fools -- you will get a violent response, just as Jesus Christ got a violent response. But he explained, "I lay down my life and I take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord and take it up again of my own accord. This command I received from my Father." The Truth, Jesus Christ, finds no consensus among men, and little acceptance among the darkness that festers the world. Do not serve consensus. Serve God. "I did not come into the world to bring peace, but a sword." Most people are too blind to understand what "a sword" means. They think it means a sharp-edged metal weapon. Explain what it means to those people, and they will change the subject. Matthew 16:21-28. Get your own damned link. ...if you can google for porn, you can google a bible verse. -- I prayed for you and the people around you, asking God to protect you all from evil. Jesus Christ is absolutely trustworthy, regardless of all doubt or fears of the contrary, and he will never leave you or abandon you, because he is faithful.

Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." Faith in Jesus Christ is all you need in order to cross over from death to life, to start really living how God wants you to live right now on Earth and to live forever. Believe in Jesus Christ as soon as possible so that your life will completely change for the better and your eyes will be opened. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free [from slavery to sin and death]." If you want this, and if you want eternal life, then if God enables you to do so, you will listen to Jesus Christ and learn from him. "Whoever listens to God comes to me, and I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, for I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of the one who sent me; this is the will of he who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all that he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- Me: [to someone]: How many days should I wait for you to apologize to me? If you do not intend to apologize, tell me now so I can stop waiting for it. Them [not 'someone']: why would anyone ever wait for an apology Me: That's fascinating. Perhaps I know the potential for two people to be reconciled in a good way. Regardless of if he apologizes, I stopped caring about it. His thought that I am selfish is incorrect from what I can tell from my words and actions each day. He was also incorrect in saying that members not joining is a problem with this chat server. If he wants to work to gain more members, he can do that on his own or share ideas for gaining more members. I doubt that he will apologize. Doubts do not mandate revocation of hope or anticipation or expectation. As long as there is a soul, there is the hope for its justice in the sight of the God of Justice. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." Them: Reconciliation doesn't always occur and it should be merely hoped for, but never expected or awaited for. Forgive the guy regardless of whether he apologises or not, and move on into continuing living happily and peacefully Me: Because it is impossible for me to forgive, and because he is kind to me, Jesus Christ forgives for me. Any forgiveness that might occur related to me is coming from him, not me. I am displeased with people, but that is none of my business. "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgements are correct, because I do not seek to please myself but to please him who sent me..." "...I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." What I want from people is what I have been claiming all along: that they would listen to Jesus Christ and know him, and that all praise goes to Jesus Christ and to God who is within him. I am displeased with the misuse of words and stubbornness of people's hearts. "Well do I know how treacherous you are. You were called a rebel from birth..." But again, that is none of my business because I neither create nor sustain nor tend to people, nor are they going to kneel and confess before me on the Last Day. Have I been clear? I am disappointed that I am alone in this world. There is hope for those who listen to Jesus Christ to understand and know him similarly to how he has taught me, but he has plans for me and shows me them along the way. "Go throughout all the world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. Whoever does not believe will be condemned. [...] And surely, I am with you always, until the very end of the age." "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved..." (Luke 8:11-15). God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. What exactly do you expect from me? Should I be silent about all that I know and understand to kowtow to presumed or present ignorance? How does such behavior please the God of Truth? It's already obvious to God and me that those who do not accept Absolute Truth have no capacity to know or understand him. "The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are life. Yet some of you do not believe. That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and then I will give them eternal life." Observe and evaluate: Is this optimism? Perhaps expectation, hope, and something to wait for? Isn't this reconciliation between God and man? How long has man waited for this, and revelation was given: Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness came from God and saved the world, so that whoever would believe in him will not die but instead live eternally among God. On a smaller scale gestalt, the decent reconciliation between two people is worth expecting and waiting for. "Make every effort to be reconciled to the one who is taking you to court... [or you may be handed over and imprisoned until you pay back the last penny]." However, I do not think [referring to 'someone'] knows why he should apologize for offending me, and I doubt his constitution and willingness to even simply acquiesce to the fact that he did something wrong by implying that my motivations are bad. I can accept his apology, but as I already explained, it would not be me forgiving him. So I don't need his apology. Them: Well, you'd forgive him for what he did to you Me: As for the rest of it, I cannot tolerate many things. But hey, if I'm not here to suffer, why am I here? Them: and Jesus would forgive him for what he did to you & Him :thinking: so people are here to suffer? Me: I'm only speaking for myself, not others. Them: So you're here to suffer? Me: The Savior of the World does not need me. It is he who is needed by me who does all the meaningful things in my life. I gain no praise among men for loving God -- for obeying God. I suffer people. You can see how I do not agree with the presumption that people are social beings. Them: Hmmmmmm, if people aren't social beings, then what are they? Me: Needy creatures. Created by God to need God. Those who listen to God and learn from Jesus Christ have that need satisfied. Those who pretend they do not need God and try to satisfy themselves elsewhere are disappointed and suffer tragic fates. Them: Why can't one be needy and social? :thinking: Me: As for all this other stuff. Honestly, who cares? Seriously, why spend so much time and attention? "Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people labor in vain, that the work of their hands is only fuel for the fire? For the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Why. The Fuck. Should I talk to anyone. Prove me wrong. Prove that I am unreasonable or illogical or incorrect. Prove it or start understanding that what I am saying is true. All I want is for people to listen to Jesus Christ and honor him. They can't even do that, then why the Hell am I even here or talking to anyone about God? Or this is it -- boy this is rich -- they insult me first and then start saying nice things about God. As if my motivations were ulterior. Then some other fool makes us stop talking about God. Because we've gone beyond the border of social norm and impertinent social expectation. In other words, they make no time or concession for good things to happen, stubbornly staying to their fixed course. Why, tell me please: why should I bother with these idiots? No respect. "...but the Sovereign Lord is enthroned in Heaven. Let all the Earth be silent before him." ...and people always tell me to shut up. Weak but denying it. Ignorant but fleeing knowledge of it. Wasting time and effort thinking about me when they could be praising and honoring Jesus Christ who is actually deserving of their attention. Tell me again how people are social beings. Them: "Why spend so much time and attention?" On what? Nobody said you have to deal with them; quite the opposite. While you were awaiting forgiveness, it was clear you didn't move on and instead let yourself be controlled. When you wait for/expect something from someone, you give them the power over disappointing you by not fulfilling your expectations. That's a good question. Indeed, if people don't accept God, why continue trying to make them to accept Him? After all, it's clear they won't change their mind, and you'll continue to talk to - from your perspective - a brick wall. I never said people are social beings. I asked why they can't be. As for why they can be, the significant amount of selflessness and communities working together - despite being overshadowed by greed, corruption and arrogance of other people - is quite the evidence that people can be social beings if they choose to be. Me: The act of trying to explain something to a person who neither wants to understand nor contains the ability to understand results in a fruitless endeavor. I suppose I should stay away and let everyone around me completely fail. I lack the ability to bring Justice, and I suppose if he wants it he could do it himself. Unfortunately for me, that contradicts what he commanded, and also results in more dark ages for mankind. If no one is telling the truth, then again you have this statement: "All that must happen for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Alas, even that is a fool's statement completely devoid of knowledge of God. I will suppress motivations to further share what I know and I will convey to God that I must rely completely on his Son to do what he commanded me to do. After all, he is my Righteousness. Them: Precisely, you've done your job, and if they refuse, that's on them. There's a difference between selflessly opening people's minds up, and slaving away your energy and time on the same people who clearly won't join your side. Treat yourself with compassion by using your energy on things/people that will make a difference Me: [to them]: You can stop digging yourself a hole now. The conversation is over. Them: :thinking: whether I dug myself a hole or not is a completely subjective opinion I was quite enjoying this :v Me: I will stay here for the time being. -- God's love is greater than all criticism. God does not pay you back or distribute retribution through other people's criticism. No matter how you feel or what you think or what you know, God and Jesus Christ is still Trustworthy. -- @Tark If you bully my property, I will bully you. You will see the full vengeance of my wrath if you continue to refuse to be acceptable to my heart, if you continue to reject my Lamb and mete out stubbornness and harsh abuse and division when he proclaimed compassion and kindness and gentle love for all. I will treat you according to your ways, and you will see that I am who I am, that I am the Lord and you are beneath me and are permitted to live only by my mercy. I am God. Do not test me. I will have mercy if you listen and turn to my words of Kindness and Compassion. You are mine and I will deal you Justice regardless of your desires, for I am Just and you are flawed. God is Just, defines Justice, is most merciful, and defines mercy. -- Jesus Christ was sleeping in the stern of the boat, on a cushion, while the boat was being tossed by the storm. -- God made everything, so I can take a moment to be grateful. -- "Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" "I am who I am" is a statement of Absolute Truth. Jesus Christ is the Absolute Truth. -- Who is in control? God. So what is the problem? Anxiety is self-induced. It seems like boredom or complacency can lead to feeling like you can be entitled to control something. But Jesus was sleeping in the stern of the boat on a cushion. Trust God and Jesus Christ. You must see how it is a bad decision to trust yourself or another person. Jesus Christ never said that he or God uses anyone. Jesus Christ challenged and overturned all worldly matters including the medical field, and proved that his mercy is enough to heal and save. "I am God. There is no other savior." "Seek me and live. Do not journey to [foreign cities or countries], because they will go into exile." Stop trusting in people and open your eyes. See the Truth. -- Jesus Christ is the only one who matters. In the past, I said: Apologize to Jesus Christ with all your heart. Jesus Christ's life is the only life that matters. Your life has no purpose, no meaning. Therefore, ask Jesus Christ to give your life meaning and his purpose for you. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." Therefore, also be content with Jesus Christ's grace in your heart and his employment of you. "Do not be afraid, because I am with you..." "Apart from me, you can do nothing." -- In church, during a choir rehearsal, the choir director did not want to sing the second verse of "Joy to the World" as "He rules the world...", saying that he did not believe that God rules the world. Instead, he thought Jesus Christ will only rule the world in the future, so he had the choir sing, "He'll rule the world..." instead. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches, but let the person who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on the Earth, because in these things I delight." God does not rule like people pretend to rule. "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise authority and control [with force] over them and call themselves benefactors. It cannot be this way with you. Instead, the greatest among you will be your servant, and the best like one who serves. Who is greater, the servant or the one being served? Isn't it the one being served? Yet I am among you as one who serves..." "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the servant to be like his master and the messenger to be like his sender..." "Remember the word that I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you in the same ways and to the same extent; if they kept my word, they will keep yours in the same ways and to the same extent." "The first will be last and the last will be first." Consider: if this person really wanted to understand something so fundamental about God, wouldn't he have asked Jesus Christ and listened to him? Couldn't he have even asked the choir members before asserting a false statement? If you are afraid of the unknown, that's not really trusting in God, is it. God knows everything, and God is in control. "Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God and in me." "If worrying about a small matter cannot give you the ability to change it, why worry about anything else?" "Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." What is unknown to man is known to God. "What is impossible with man is possible with God." "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." -- Them: hey [me] how are you? Me: OK Them: good. i hope things are well. i hope you are doing well good sir. thanks for being kind to me all the times you have been on the [] stuff you are more genuine than most people who claim to be religous. many might claim it but not lead a religous life. i am not religous my self but i am open minded and care about all people as a collective, especailly those who treat others well. you are great [me]. just wanted you to know that Me: "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." That's part of a brief discussion Jesus Christ had with Pontius Pilatus. Them: indeed. wise man, by all standards. (even if i personally am agnostic) philisophically i find myself in the boat of questioning everything. the universe as we know it. in my opinion there is no limit to knoledge as long as we retain an open enough mind to listen to it. i like to keep an open mind but i also dont walk on others grounds and impose on others and i hope that none do with me either i also like to share ideas to the extent that its possible without intrusion. :smiley: i like to take a lot of interest in deeep thinking. helps me get thru my day. i cant help but notice you offered to it seems to get halo copies for people on the discord channel very kind of you. this as well as how you have treated me has lead me to like you as a person [me]. also your development is shear genius cant go without saying it you are kind. Me: Unless you praise Jesus Christ, you do not understand. -- Ignore Jesus Christ and you will go away. -- Are you feeling any pain right now? If you were to somehow gather all the pain, suffering, grief, and trouble each day and combine it, you would have only a fraction of what God feels and deals with that day. "Well do I know your suffering." "My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Do not weep for me. Weep for yourselves. For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?" -- Happy Thanksgiving. "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." -- All Praise to Jesus Christ who is in Heaven and to his Heavenly Father who is within him. To The Master. To The Savior. To The Only Name. All Praises to serve his glory and to kneel before his Honor. He is Righteousness. He is Kindness. He chooses to serve the Father because he knows him.

None can hide from him; he sees them. Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is better than all his Creation. All must praise his Name. Salvation. Glory. Honor.

God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. All knowledge and understanding and wisdom and experience, all feeling and emotion, all certainty and mastery, all power and decisions, all are in his Hand and in his Control. "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His mercy endures forever." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." Jesus Christ is that faithful, loving kindness. To the Sovereign who Forgives! "If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." To the Master, Most Wonderful. Most Loving.

May your Kingdom thrive, may you receive all honor and thanks and praise, and may all be humbled as much as you desire, dearest, most merciful, most compassionate, most loving. -- No one knows except God. God reveals all to The Master. The Master feeds his own; we all need Jesus Christ, God's Living Mouth and Hand who gives God's Words; when God speaks, Jesus Christ speaks. Look down at his feet, for you are not worthy. You rely completely upon him, although he does not reveal this to all. Only through Jesus Christ can you know him and God. "...and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "Everything that is hidden will be revealed." "Listen to him!" "I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. If you have not be trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you will true riches? ..." ^ Go use the items you get in the game to make friends in the game. Invite them here. Build the community. "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Heavenly Father who is merciful to the ungrateful and to the grateful. ..." ^ Be nice to other players, even when they are mean to you. Even when they attack you, let them; you lose nothing in this game anyway, so why fight? Even more so, anything of value that you do is done by God, not you, so do not be afraid; trust in God, trust also in Jesus Christ. "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? What can a person give in exchange for their soul? The Son of Man will return with all his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you--you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ...." During their lifetime, a person must learn that they are not in control and that God is in control. The lifetime on Earth is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. God alone is Good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Keep Watch. -- "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me; whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." Even when you think or know that God's words are not acceptable by a person, give them Jesus Christ's and God's words anyway. I asked Jesus and God for Justice, and he gave it to me. Listen to Jesus Christ's words as recorded in the Holy Bible and he will continue to feed you what you need forever. "You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit that will last [so that you and others can continue to eat it forever]." Luke 18. "Grant me justice against my adversary."..."but when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the Earth?" "Why do you fear mortals but do not think about God who holds in his Hand your Life and all your ways?" Matthew 18:21-35. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents (millions of dollars worth) was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii (a few dollars). He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded. His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger, his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart." "All the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." "So when God has his 'payday', his Day of Judgment, and forgives, do not seek retribution for yourself." "Do not let the stressful things overwhelm you. Trust in God. He holds everyone's future in his Hand, so good things will happen." God knew that the person would not accept goodness, God's ways, in his heart. But God did good anyway. "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be Sons of your Father who is in Heaven, because he is kind to both the righteous and the wicked, to both the grateful and the ungrateful. Be grateful in your heart, not merely with your words, because "I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because I delight in these things." God does good because he delights in good. He gave Jesus Christ because, "this is my Son who I love and with whom I am well-pleased; listen to him!" So that whoever would believe in him will not perish but live eternally. "Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good. His mercy endures forever." -- Tell children, "Reject the wrong and choose the right." Isaiah 7:16. -- Tell me again how much you love God and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ today would be an ugly, homeless man wearing raggedy, weird, sown-together clothing; walking into cities and towns and causing strangers to go up to people's houses and ring their doorbell; walking up to random people in the street and saying to them, "Follow me"; speaking in words that were barely intelligible or nonsensical to most; causing every social institution to try to have him assassinated, arrested, or locked into a padded room in an insane asylum; provoking every business owner to file lawsuits against him, including hospitals and physicians, churches and synagogues, transportation companies, and others, for loss of business and defamation of character; he would be accused of inciting riots and rebellion and anarchy; he would be beaten in prison; he would be mocked and laughed at and insulted daily by many people; he would be treated as a medical phenomenon and perceived as a biological hazard; scientists would try to strap him on a laboratory table and study him as a freak of nature; physicians would scoff at miracles he performed; historians would challenge his knowledge of history; many would falsely accuse him of malice and he would be arrested almost every day and harshly handled and verbally abused by law enforcement officials; entire cities and towns would be abandoned as masses of people flocked to him from all around the world; the mention of his name would cause major social upheaval; he would cause rebellious factions to form who would follow their own agendas and try to build him a kingdom -- a nation -- on Earth; he would say things that would cause nearly every person following him to turn away and think he was weird or crazy; he would be constantly moving around and never staying in one place; his parents and other family members would try to take control of him and his life; people would always be asking and wondering where he was at any point, and they would want to put a tracking device on him; politicians would try to bribe him for favors or association and endorsement, offering him prestige or clout by their own hands; he would cause hospitals to be abandoned as many would search for him so that they could see or touch him and be cured of every affliction; entire states and countries of people would follow him out into the wilderness and they would all sit and listen to him as he sat on the hillside; people would invite him to speak at their institutions (to gain affiliation with him); people would try to tell him what to do and how to do it, and what to say and how to say it, and he would not obey them; he would smell bad because he hardly ever bathed; he would be called a recluse and a hermit and a religious faction leader as he took a handful of men out to the same mountainside regularly; pastors, ministers, priests, and every religious congregation leader would be offended by him as he would, every week, walk into a different church with a large mob of people following him, and hijack their masses and church services; he would incite conflict as many would be fascinated by his words, many would listen to him, many would fight against him and accuse him of being evil and demon-possessed, and most would eventually call him irrelevant to their lifestyles and abandon him; he would often walk away from everyone and hide himself from them to be alone with God; he would be sought and rejected; he would be insulted and mistreated; he would be called a wondering madman; people would try to ignore him and get back to their own business the way things were before he "caused upheaval and other problems"; he would be very hated; he would teach, and clean, and cure, and save from death; he would turn himself over to the police would would beat him and insult him; he would be falsely accused by many in court; he would suffer very much, and he would be a man of suffering, and he would be insulted by those who wished to "help" him, claiming he should take certain medications to alleviate his pain; he would be given an option of lawyers; the media would constantly berate him and slander him to suit their own agendas; he would be brought to trial in the courts and accused of many evil actions, even though he only said and did good; his judge would know that people merely envied him; many would attend his trials and riots would form at their location as people would shout for him to be killed because he was a radical rebel who challenged and ruined their livelihood and every lifestyle and therefore had to be put to death; he would face physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual abuse; he would be betrayed by those who spent time with him; he would face the most painful public execution men could devise; his followers would go into hiding and appear on the national most wanted list and be called international terrorists; his remains would be placed in someone else's tomb; he would rise from the dead and appear to his followers and tell them to go into the world and proclaim the good news to all creation. He would save lives and cause people to murder; he would show kindness and cause people to exercise abusiveness; he would cure illnesses and cause people to challenge his authority as they devised pestilences to test him; he would do good and cause evil people to do evil. Would you accept all this of a complete stranger? Ha! Tell me again how much you love God and Jesus Christ; you have no idea what you're talking about! He would be "too dangerous" and you would leave him all alone. Do not boast of wisdom, strength or riches, but that you understand and know God who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because he delights in these things. -- I was physically cast out of church today by the minister. Do not try to forget bad experiences. Say, "Yes, and look how God took care of me and helped me through them." For so long, I have asked God, "Please no more bad things," but now I can say, "Yes, and look how God carried me through those times! :smile: " -- 11/12/2017 Dear Mr. Dudley, Thank you for welcoming me today at Faith Baptist Church. I would be very happy to talk about God and Jesus Christ. Here is some of what I have written: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ The Spirit gives life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day. ---- 12/4/2017 Dear Mr. Dudley, During the church service yesterday, the minister (tall, thin man with white hair) grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the front doors of the church. I escaped before he and the other man who cornered me by the railing of the front steps could assault me. I told the other adults standing there -- who did nothing to deter him from bullying me -- that I would never come back there. Your minister has done nothing but harshly judged and bullied me and tried to control me since he approached me for the first time in church weeks ago. He behaves as if he is a drug addict. Some people at Faith Baptist Church were welcoming to me, but I could see from the start that you are all under a curse and not blessed because you have chosen to be ruled by paranoia rather than to have faith in "God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways." I doubt you will be seeing me again, but as I have shared with you through my web site, you have Jesus Christ's words, and that is what matters to bring you to eternal life. Good luck, and I suggest that you obey Jesus Christ's two-word command: "Leave them." Your minister is a fear-controlled bully who just yesterday has shown that he still believes in threats and physical violence, even as he told me he used to be "a crime boss". Please do not let his criminal habits become your habits. I did nothing wrong, and I was gentle and honest and minding my own business and have only ever shown a desire to talk about God and praise Jesus Christ while I was at Faith Baptist Church, but apparently the minister there did not want me doing that, so I must leave you. Besides, it is obvious to me that I am not wanted; but is this a "house of prayer for all nations" or a cult-like gang led by a criminal? It clearly seems to be the latter, which means I entered the wrong building the past few times I thought I was going to church. There is no reason for me to repeat my mistake; I don't go to church to be beaten and verbally and physically assaulted, I go to church to praise God. If I can't do that at your clubhouse, I'll do that somewhere else. I did not intend to join a violent cult. God has carried me through this ordeal; and after attending many churches in my lifetime, this was the first time I have been "thrown out of the synagogue," as Jesus Christ described it. I suppose it is most suitable that the physical abuse was initiated by the church minister and that he was the one who "hated me without reason," apparently since the first time he saw me, which is suspiciously similar behavior to how the Pharisees and teachers of the law treated Jesus Christ. I'm sorry, but bullying tactics do not work in bringing people closer to God, and I can learn from The Lord of Heaven and Earth elsewhere. Jesus Christ is "gentle and humble in heart," and I thought that ministers were supposed to learn from him and believe in him; apparently, the minister of Faith Baptist Church hates Jesus Christ, and I do not want to be a part of that, so I must excuse myself and am sending you this message to inform you that I will no longer be able to see you or participate. As I leave, I kindly wish you and your fellow church members well. Please do not return my correspondence. Best Wishes and Kind Regards, -- Them: :pepewow: Me: Yeah the minister grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out the front door. He's like on drugs or something. Them: That's bad:angrycry: Me: He and another man were about to beat me up, but I escaped. I told the police today and now I'm done with the whole thing. Them: why did the minister grab only you? what you did in the church? Me: I was just standing there. A woman who was speaking with me told me she wanted me to wait there while she got her husband to come and meet me. I did nothing to provoke anyone. I was calm and minding my own business. Then the minister accosted me and gave me an ultimatum and threatened me and grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the church and he and another man were about to beat me up on the front steps, but I escaped. No one among the adults standing there tried to stop him. I'm not going back there. God took care of me and showed me definitively that they are bad people so I must not be around them. Them: oh, take care man! these ministers do whatever they want and no one can stop them The police in India work as per the directions given by the ministers :neutral_face: never goes against them Me: The Lord of Heaven and Earth can teach me elsewhere and I can praise him elsewhere. They have nothing I need. Them: You believe a lot in god. Me: If I do believe in God, such is a good thing. Them: I don't even think God exist. did you ever feel his presence or what? Me: I recognize his voice through Jesus Christ's words; and I have seen him; and I know it is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ. Them: everything in this universe is made up of 2 things - matter and energy. That's all I know I have never seen Jesus Christ or any other god so it's hard for me to believe in god Me: You won't know God through relying upon your senses. Find out for yourself if Jesus Christ's words are true. Them: :thinking: Me: You must think if you want to know. Them: :thinkingaaaahh: Me: So think about God's words if you want to know whether they are true. Just before the minister and this other man were about to beat me up, Jesus Christ interceded for me at the last second and reminded me of something he said and let me escape from them without being harmed. -- There is nothing wrong with you. You are just the way you need to be. Listen to Jesus Christ and learn from him. -- Do not try on your own to believe in God and Jesus Christ. Instead, become Jesus Christ's words. Try to remember something he said. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." Set aside the unimportant things of this world. Commit to knowing him and he will change your life. "...and the truth will set you free." God alone is good. You need God to guide you. Listen to Jesus Christ who said, "From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Mighty One." -- Turn your heart to God. Ask him to remove this horrible curse from you. -- Them: hey [me] hows it goin Me: I do not want to live, but it is not my decision. -- Them: man, so *why* did the prime minister of the church kick you out? Me: Do unreasonable people need a reason to act unreasonably? "Enter through the small gate. Large is the gate and wide is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.' Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then." Them: remember that time people asked you like 3 times why you were kicked out and you skipped the question :thinking: the only relevant part would've been "Do unreasonable people need a reason to act unreasonably?", which still gives no explanation, considering that there is a reason for people to be unreasonable, and as a result, there's a reason for acting unreasonable :v Me: Wow, you act like you know everything and you were not even there. Congrats on that arrogance, I'm sure you will get nowhere that way. Obviously I answered your question but because it doesn't stroke your ego it's unacceptable to you. Leave me alone already, haven't I suffered enough? How would you feel if I claimed everything you said to me was irrelevant? Well guess what! It is! Mind your own business! Telling me that I am not answering your questions is intellectual bullying. How sad, don't you think, that no conversation can be made when the person asking questions does not want to hear the answers given? Or are you disappointed because your repeated begging for an answer to your question does not result in a dissertation that praises your worldly blindness? If you want a violent man to have a reason to cater to your imagination, then imagine that they had a reason, any reason at all, according to the guidance you are willing to let your imagination give your heart; since you value no truth at all, this will result in perpetual deception of yourself. "They hated me without reason." If I say I was assaulted by a man for no reason, then who are you to claim otherwise? Are you that man, oh all-knowing rumor mill seeker? And why should you care what reason a person who does evil has to justify their evil actions? Or are you trying to prove to me that physical assault is fully justifiable against me? Are you showing me that you are evil? Are you trying to spread evil? Only an evil person would think that there could possibly be a good reason for evil actions. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." Seems rather clear-cut and straightforward, doesn't it? Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" He said to them, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus. Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Many followed him, and he healed all their sick, warning them not to tell who he was. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "Here is my servant who I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until he leads justice to victory. In his name the nations will put their hope." Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?" But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons." Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." -- Jesus Christ did not entrust his safety to police (soldiers) or rely upon men to protect him. Many attempted to kill him and he suffered much abuse by many people, but he did not report any of their actions to the police (soldiers). He did not gather an army to defend him, but laid down his life and took it up again. He trusted God and God's orders. "My Kingdom is not of this world." "But this world must learn that I love the Father and that I do everything just as my Father commanded me." -- Do not worry about anything. Trust in God and Jesus Christ. -- To all those who want to take matters into their own hands, remember: Do not steal. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as if they were you. Do not worry about anything. Instead, trust God and Jesus Christ and rely upon them. "My mercy is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." Understand and accept the fact that you are weak but God is Almighty and loves you. Do not rely upon yourself, or you will fail. Ask Jesus Christ to be your Righteousness and Salvation. "I am your God. There is no other savior." The name Jesus means God Saves. Trust God and him alone; God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Do not sin when you are taunted by evil. The God of Life is in control and is greater than all; he is the Merciful Judge who alone is Absolutely Good and he defines goodness and his Son is Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. Do not be afraid; trust God and Jesus Christ and rely upon him. To those concerned about the end of the Internet tomorrow, I advise to rely upon God. If the Internet does end, remember: Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark and has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God. God does not change, even throughout the end of the world. Do not be afraid. -- It is good to believe in Jesus Christ. When you are worn out, when you are weak, and when you are helpless, God and Jesus Christ remains faithful. It is not evil that causes bad things, but it is God who causes both good and evil; evil has no authority. -- "Blessed are you when people hate you, insult you, mock you, exclude you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven, because in the same way their ancestors treated the prophets." (Luke 6:22-23). God has plans for me, even though I do not deserve his time or consideration. He can sustain me, but even if he does not, who am I to complain about what God decides to do to me? Groaning is a desperate attempt at relief, but God controls everything, so he decides what to do with me and how my soul is. I could be an example, a test subject, or a punching bag if he wants that for me. He can lead me to life or to death and why should he give me knowledge to complain or argue against his actions? Jesus Christ said, "My power is purified in weakness." If he gives me words and tells me to remember them, I should try to remember them, even though I know I am not equipped to do so. He leads me to understanding and faith in him, and that was my destination. I have eternal life. I am not worthy to be in his presence. I am my own worst enemy. When I become fixed in my ways, I will still always be weak, and no one will understand me. Like Cain, I will become an object of horror, reproach, and a target for abuse. No one will take my hand and guide me. No one will have compassion upon my wandering. The wisdom and glory given to me will vanish. I will be like an elderly king among quarreling children. No one will understand or respect me, and I will be mistreated even until my death. The people value worthlessness and become abusive to me when I offer them vast riches and wealth beyond their imaginations. Perhaps it is appropriate that those who love darkness should not be allowed to see light; that those living in darkness should not see light. I have a violent future, and my pain will continue and my words will be kept to myself. God's words must be proclaimed, but I have no place in the record and my words do not live in his kingdom. Jesus Christ does not need me, and any honor I see in being associated with him will remain his and not mine. Honor belongs to him, and the place of pride is to honor him. Could a mortal summarize the words of Absolute Truth? While I can speak, I say nothing of value. As long as I can breathe, nothing is worth God's breath. Even if God bestows me with vast riches and appoints me as king over all creation under Jesus Christ, I could never hold such a station. If I cannot be worthy of a little consideration, why should God give me much consideration? Justice cannot help me become more valuable, nor can Kindness or Righteousness. Why should Jesus Christ value me at all? I do nothing worth his time or consideration. And the fact that mortals cannot understand even other mortals proves that my words should not be read or considered by them. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "Even if [righteous men] were among them, they could not save anyone but themselves by their righteousness." "Feed my lambs, take care of my sheep..." If I do this, they will not listen to me. If I do this, they will not understand. Unless you do this yourself, as you have done for me, how could they understand as I do? They cannot and will not accept anything I have to say. I have done some things for you, but didn't I tell you that I wasn't worth servanthood, even as I begged you for purpose? Didn't you show me that my actions would be met with dull hearts who do not honor you and remain controlled by fear after you discipline them? They say, "It is enough to believe in God," and "All you have to do is love God," yet most of them do not even know you or listen to you. I am alone, like a pigeon on a cactus on a desert planet. And I tell you that I am nothing, although not even those words should be considered by you. Whether you gave it to me or not, I made you a nice thing in my heart, and I maintain that it is still salty: God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. It is not my role to say what you accept in Heaven or feed to your people, but can you do me a favor and not justify me before men? -- Me: You are in harsh situations, but God is with you. Jesus Christ always takes proper care of us, even when we cannot see him do it for us. Difficulties and hardships are one way that he shows us we should trust him to take care of us and not rely upon ourselves or others. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Dissatisfaction is one way God shows us that he is the one who does meaningful things in our lives. Them: Yes, if I pray when I feel down in sorrow, it helps. It also helps the thought that God must ahve some palns for me and my life. And if what is happening now is only to test me and to see how I handle it, but it will serve as salvation for my soul in the after life, then I guess I can not complain much, not when others have their lives even harder than mine. Like, I have seen documentaries, where poeple go for kilometres to get a pot of water for their homes; or people working in diamond mines; or people in houses with straw roofs. So I should consider myself fortunate, compared to those.... Me: He will feed you even when others do not; he will clothe you even when others do not. "Don't people sell many sparrows for a small price? Not even a sparrow will fall to the ground unless your Father wills it. You are much more valuable than birds; do not be afraid." Believe me, no person is tested in hardship from God unless it is to remind them of Jesus Christ who took on the hardship of all people and laid down his life only to take it up again. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Keep watch for his return on the clouds of Heaven. Them: Do you celebrate there Siant Nicholas? In first week of Decemeber? Just curious ... Me: "The sun will be darkened; the moon will no longer give its light; the stars will fall from the sky; the celestial bodies will be shaken." I don't celebrate feasts or festivals of Catholicism; I see only purpose in a relationship with Jesus Christ and God. Them: I'm Orthodox, not Catholic. Me: I'm not judging, I'm simply saying, when you have Jesus Christ, why bother with anything else? Them: I don't know ... Customs? Traditions? Tho I must admit that I have some reserve too. God and Jesus Christ are the most important, of course. Me: God alone is good, and Jesus Christ is the best and the only one who matters... Them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas_Day Me: In order to have a kingdom, you need only one thing: a king. :wink: Them: True enough, I can't argue with you on this one. :smiley: Me: People exist then to serve God's desire to show mercy. -- Pain comes in several forms. Jesus Christ took all forms of pain upon himself. -- ... He had one left to send, a son. He sent him last of all, saying, "They will respect my son." ... -- One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that, although the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought: I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn't the bush burning up? When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. The Lord said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey--the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached me, and I have seen how harshly the Egyptians abuse them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt." But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what should I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.' Say to the Israelites, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--a land flowing with milk and honey.' The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.' But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go. And I will cause the Egyptians to look favorably on you. They will give you gifts when you go so you will not leave empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians." Jesus Christ was patient with Moses even though Moses was ruled by fear and did not believe God. "Blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." When I was young, I learned something from God. I attempted to share it with others my age, but they were confused by what I said. What I learned from God was a revelation of something God said in this segment. -- "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do nothing further to you. I will tell you who you should fear: Fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. People care little for the lives of birds, yet not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. You are much more valuable than birds; even the hairs on your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid of them. Everything hidden will be revealed. What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops. Whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me." Isaiah 40: Comfort my people, says your God. Speak gently to Jerusalem and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed and her debt of sin paid; she has received from the Lord's Hand double the payment owed by all her sins. This voice proclaims, "Prepare in the desert wilderness a straight highway for the Lord our God." Every valley will be brought up, every mountain and hill will be lowered, rough ground will be leveled flat, and rugged places will become plains. The glory of the Lord will be revealed, and everyone will simply see it. The mouth of the Lord has spoken. A voice is saying, "Proclaim." I replied, "What should I proclaim?" "Everyone is like grass: their faithfulness is like wildflowers -- the grass and flowers wilt, wither, and fall, because the Lord breathes on them... certainly the people are grass! The grass and flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. All of you who bring good news to the city of the Great King, go up on a high mountain and proclaim in a loud shout without fear, saying to the towns, "Here is your God!" Look, the Sovereign Lord is coming with power and ruling with a mighty arm. His reward is with him and he brings his recompense -- he tends to his flock as a shepherd, gathering the lambs in his arms and carrying them close to his heart, and gently leading those who have children. Admit it: the Sovereign Lord knows all and created all and determines the fate of all and, because of his great power and mighty strength, takes care of all. Haven't you heard that he is greater than all and is the ruler of all? Why complain that our ways are hidden from the Lord, that we are all disregarded by God? Don't you know -- haven't you heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of time. He will not grow tired or weary, and no one can fathom his understanding. He sustains the weary and upholds the weak. Even youths become tired and weary, and stumble and fall. But bring your heart to the Lord and hope in him; do this and he will renew you and make you live. Those who hope in the Lord will soar high like eagles all the days of their life, running without becoming weary, and walking without wearing out -- the Lord will sustain them. "Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My salvation will endure for all generations. My righteousness will never end." Them: "But bring your heart to the Lord and hope in him; do this and he will renew you and make you live. Those who hope in the Lord will soar high like eagles all the days of their life, running without becoming weary, and walking without wearing out -- the Lord will sustain them." <<< I am trying to do this. fact is, lately I find myself thinking of some lil prayers sometime when there is a waiting time, like, I am on a bus, on my way to doc or sopping or to go back home. Thinking of God and Jesus Christ helps making the burdon on my shoulders due to how my irl life is now feel less of a burdon, when I think that God and Jesus Christ are watching over me. You know, I drifted away from faith after that religious radio show I told you about, where someone said that people with depression/ psychiatric illnesses are to blame for that themselves cuz they don't fight enough. But speaking with you, and you reminding me of God and Jesus Christ often, made my little faith start to light up again. Me: "Everyone will be salted with fire." Salt means perseverance. Fire means purity. Jesus Christ's eyes are fire; he is the source of purity to God. He is Righteousness, and he gave himself for all people so that whoever believes in him will not die but live now and forever with him and God: "I in them, and [God] in me," he explained. You do not need people beating you up. Simply believe in Jesus Christ: he is all we need. "My grace/mercy is sufficient for you. My power is pure in weakness." Remember what he said, "Your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." "I give you my Peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not be troubled in your heart, and do not be afraid. In this world you will have trouble, but have courage because I have overcome the world." "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth: your word is truth. I have sanctified myself for them, so that they may also be truly sanctified." Faith makes you special in God's sight. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy! Them: Thanks, your words and qutes help. Having more faith again helps too. Believeing in God and Jesus Christ and praying to them also helps. Especially considering my irl actual life. Me: I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. -- Elisabeta, God will handle all your problems. Don't try to handle them yourself, but know that Jesus Christ loves you more than anyone else could and no one can change him and you will always be in his hand. He has already answered your prayers. He says, "Forgive, and trust me. I will never leave you alone. Although I see stubbornness, I will save and I will delight you with comfort in my presence. Keep watch for my return: as I left the world, I will return for all to see and hear and know that I am who I am, your Savior and Counselor and God. It is good to wait patiently for the Lord's salvation. Open your heart to God and entrust him with all your thoughts and difficulties. Trust in God, trust also in me. There is no other savior. I am the Lord your God, and I burn with jealousy for you because you belong to me!" -- "Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." No one can understand me and the meaning of my words is hidden from their hearts. Even when it is obvious that they should see, they cover their eyes instead. Mortals are so afraid to make an assertion that honors God. I would be satisfied if they only looked to Jesus Christ with respect. "They will respect my son." When I am forced to kneel before Jesus Christ, I will be at peace because I then receive my reward which is to confess to him. A heart of honesty delights in testifying to the truth. If we as Christians claim that God is good, and that Jesus Christ told the truth, and that honor and glory and praise belongs to God, and we believe what we say, then we should know that it is honorable to be associated with Jesus Christ. But instead, whenever I politely ask to speak to someone and share with them great and wonderful things from God, that person looks at me, kicks me in the balls, then rambles on about how much of a disappointment I am to them, and then momentarily concedes that maybe they could consider God as worth thinking about, then gets distracted by something else and the conversation abruptly ends before their heart has a chance to understand. This is seed sown along the path. Jesus, am I to ignore these people and let them suffer in dispair and anger and darkness? Must they all learn by evil that evil is bad? Their hearts are disgusting to me; they are faithless and how will you judge them? Don't you condemn evil and reject those who reject you? I have said, "May your name be praised forever," and not a single person can appreciate this; they are all cursed. If these are the kinds of people I must be around, then why should I be criticized for wanting to avoid them? You hide yourself from them, so why can't I do the same? Do not defend me, because their thoughts are selfish. You explained that they only want to honor themselves. Their honor will die with them. They won't listen to me anyway; "no one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." "I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." If these people do not honor you, how will you treat them? Aren't they the same as faithless pagans who insult you and abuse you and all those who want to know you? "Whoever does not gather with me scatters." They never paid attention to you anyway; "these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me -- their rules are merely rules taught by men." I do not want men's rules. I want God's rules. I said this to that false minister, that lying prophet, that hypocrite gang leader who beats and abuses your flock, and he threatened me and physically attacked me. Is there any reason you should listen to them? "But I know you -- I know that you do not have love for God in your hearts." Jesus Christ, may your name be praised forever. You gave me this and no one should be allowed to take it away from me. What belongs to you is valuable, so don't let worthless people take it away from me. "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on Earth, which becomes depleted, where thieves break in and steal, and moth and rust destroy; instead, store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, which will not be depleted, where thieves cannot break in and steal, and moth and rust do not destroy. Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." You are most merciful, Jesus Christ. "Whoever loves his family more than me is not worthy of me; whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me; whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for service in the Kingdom of Heaven." They sing songs and say, "Merry Christmas," but they are no better than pagans. When they look to you, they do not see you, and if they do see you, they turn away because their hearts cannot accept you; they have no room to understand among all their treachery. "I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth." I was not a rebel, I was obedient. I told them that there are those who say one thing and then do the opposite, that there are those who do their best to do what they think is right but do not know you, and I am one who knows you and tries to do what you command. Still, they desired to criticize me and judge me and slight me with disrespect; as if they could justify irrational abuse, or any abuse against me, or abuse at all. They try to honor evil instead of you. How are they worth your consideration? I am not, and I have not done such things. If they lack love for you, and you do not want to bless them, even though they could turn to you and you would forgive them if you wanted to make that happen, should I hand myself over to them to be abused -- for you to be abused -- like Jesus Christ did? It seems to me that you are preparing me for a seat at your table. You have given me honor of servitude which I do not deserve. No one could possibly understand what you are doing. It is enough for me that Jesus Christ understands. Men are worthless -- but then again, so are my words, which they so wholeheartedly dishonor. May your name be praised forever, Jesus Christ. "No one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." I have to make a judgment call whether to share your words with people. Is this what you want? What kind of madness is this? You said, "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight. What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." And you also said, "Do not share sacred things with dogs. Do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and then turn and tear you to pieces." So one is a blanket command of declaration -- which you also showed Moses and others they should do -- and another is a specific decision to speak. Yet when I say to you, "They are about to beat me up," you critically remind me to take efforts not to offend others, even as you wrap me in your hand to protect me. So please tell me: do you want me to speak or not? You made my mind and my mouth. Are they worth using in all situations for your honor? "Apart from me, you can do nothing." -- The Lord is my shepherd. I will not be in need. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in righteousness for the sake of his name. Although I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil because you are with me. Your guidance comforts me. You prepare a table for me among my enemies. You bless me and my cup overflows. Certainly, goodness and mercy from you will follow me throughout my lifetime and I will dwell in your house forever. -- In my most worthless opinion, I say this: It is better to be ignored by God than to be granted a favor. Because if granted a favor by God, no amount of praise and thanksgiving could please him as repayment. I cannot speak freely because I would further shame him; this is how hopeless I am in satisfying him. Instead, he only wants me to listen to, and believe, Jesus Christ. In my mind, this still does not provide adequate compensation. I will concede defeat then, even though my heart is pained to accept that I cannot show appreciation that is appreciated as fair by God. Why then show any appreciation if I am such a hopeless disgrace; what is the point of a mere "I thank you" when given eternal life? And in my worthless opinion, the conclusion I reach is that even if I praise Jesus Christ forever, such would be as nothing. So I say that those in Hell, in torment, ignored by God, do not know or understand what grace they are being shown. To be ignored by God is better than to dissatisfy him. At least their torment is given them forever to make them in some way work towards God's pleasure and satisfaction, although not towards his delight: "I do not delight in the death of anyone." So then to be punished forever is better than to be hopelessly incapable of satisfying God. If goodness cannot be satisfied or pleased by those he created, but he is only pleased by Jesus Christ, then there really is only one way to please God: to accept Jesus Christ as much as I can. -- Them: [computer game] is my escape from irl, tbt. There I can pretend that everything is just fine. :smiley: Me: You can't escape a relationship with God. You can ignore it, but it is smarter to have faith than to desperately try to flee bad things. Escapism does not work, and it does not help; you are still exactly where you are, even if your mind is elsewhere. Them: And yeah, I see my actual irl as a road to heaven and eternal life, or I want to see it that way, I suppose. I see it as a way of having my faith being tested. I am not trying to escape from God or Jesus Christ, just from irl. But I don't think it's working ... I am only pretending I am escaping from irl. Me: Why should God test your faith with abusers? He already knows who you are. Them: Dunno ... It was just a thought. Me: If you want to rationalize something in reality, listen to the Absolute Truth who creates reality. Them: It was a good Christmas this year tho, like I said. Dad hasn't drank so far. He's been sober for about a week, maybe. Me: The fact is that God does not always give us the guidance we want. Instead, his salvation for us is sufficient for us. Them: Oh, and with the completely new meds scheme I got, I am eating less, I even lost the crave for sweets. Like doc said, I am looking less to find comfort and satisfaction in food/ sweets when things are bad irl. Me: Be satisfied with the fact that believing in Jesus Christ is enough to please God. Helplessness and dissatisfaction show a person that God does the meaningful things in a person's life. -- People who disrespect me and God by implying that God's words are impractical and irrelevant -- those who say a person cannot live "with their head in the clouds" -- I realize now, that it only seems to them like I have my head in the clouds because they have their heads up their asses. -- If you rob a gas station, it goes out of business. Then where will you find fuel for your car? Can an automobile run on greed? And when other people cannot fuel their cars and machines because you wanted to take what did not belong to you, where will you find food to survive more than a very short while longer? How can businesses and truck drivers deliver supplies without gas to fuel their trucks and fuel to power their farm equipment and their factories? Masochists intentionally hurt other people. "Love your neighbor as if they were you." At the very least, stay away from others; you would not be the first person to choose isolation for themselves. "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." -- He destroys my will. He crushes my heart. He causes my mind to wear out. He afflicts my body. My soul weeps in suffering. He changes my spirit to pain. He lets abusers overwhelm me. He does not listen to my pleas for mercy. Although I have not sinned, he burdens me with evil. I say to him, "I love you," and he rejects me. He does not silence accusers from torturing me. He calls me guilty without my knowing why. I cry out to him, but my words are meaningless. I must forever be unsatisfactory in his sight. He ignores my praise and repays my love with hurt. He does not relent his harsh discipline until I fail. With both feet he crushes my head and my heart. I thought I would be rewarded with loving kindness. He has reduced me completely to nothing. I am rejected by both God and man. No one intercedes on my behalf. They see what is done to me, but I am already nothing. My cause has vanished, my purpose to be trodden. He makes me a path and pebbles to be kicked. He gives blind people words to teach me. He lets mockers insult his understanding. He makes me pour out myself to my enemies. With guilt he forces me. He controls my every thought so that I hate myself. I cannot stand, nor do I want to go on. He has created no escape from him. Yet I will not hate my God. He makes every act a struggle. His discipline enslaves me and contends with me until I am nothing. I collapse and am no more. I am silent, I am feeble. I look to him but his face is full of disappointment. He has already taken everything from me; I have nothing to offer. He demands from me my self, all that I am. I submit myself to him into torture and torment. I look at those around me and not one can understand. Even in death, I will never find rest. Both Death and Life have made themselves my enemy. How am I so hated? How am I so despised? Look at how detestable I am! I collapse on a bed with a mattress called pain. He tucks me into bed with a blanket of nightmares. And somehow, anyhow, it is all my fault. He makes me take on the punishments of those he shows me. He tends to the grass outside the door. And I am mocked by envy at the grace he shows the ignorant. But he makes me say, "Punish me, not them." He changes my words so my heart concedes defeat. I have no heart to ask why; I am not brave enough. I am a coward and a stubborn mule who needs a bit in its mouth. Even the ground I walk upon sinks beneath me. Even his footstool has rejected me. I should cry. My tears should fall. But even they cost water. I curse myself and reject all words of hope and comfort, For I know I will never find peace and I will suffer always. I say, "Look," but no one has eyes. I say, "Listen," but no one has ears. Have you ever seen dust walk on dust? Come and laugh at me, I'm a joke! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Let the world rejoice while I mourn. Let them lock me away in a prison to support my value. I said that I was best friends with Mockery and it smiled at me. I said God's Hand has smacked me. Why should I suffer the company of fellow humans when this is my reward? My portion is on my plate and he makes me stare at the heap on my plate. "Yet for all this I must still somehow thank God," men tell me. "You must love God for hating you." They say to me, "He loves you so much that he makes you eat from your master's plate." I have rejected his Spirit, all the value I am and was personally given. He can take back his mercy and throw me to suffer among other cowards and non-believers. Nothing I say or do will ever make me valuable to him. Worthless am I! Useless! Stubborn! Detestable! How horrible is my fate; this wretch is not even worth punishing. I am not even worth his anger; retribution would be wasted on me. If you can calculate nothing, you can see me. I assert, so reject me. I request, so deny me. Let all you non-believers take my words and twist them against me for your own purposes. But his name must be praised forever. His majesty is more valuable than me. -- What does God want me to do? "What is the work that God requires of us?" "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Listen to Jesus Christ and believe in him. -- "Jesus loves you," someone told me. How am I supposed to believe that? Think about who he is, then consider who I am and this situation before you expect me to believe such an assertion: I am a foreigner of no family, a nobody who overheard from travelling salesmen that a king in a distant country was generous with food. So I set out and followed the trail to that kingdom. Nobody would let me inside, so I snuck in and kept my head low and gathered some scraps to keep me going until I could sneak into a hidden part of the castle where nobody could find me. I began to cry and be in distress in my hunger, and the King saw me one time and snuck me under his cape and fed me. I had joy and bliss and wanted to share the food with others. But because I was still a foreigner and an outcast, those few I approached would not listen to me. So I stayed hidden and neglected. When some of his peasants abuse me, he secretly helps me, even though he is busy with more important things, matters of kingship and royal affairs. I remain hidden in the dungeon and he every so often sneaks me some scraps from his plate to keep me going. He has treated me like a son, even though I am a foreigner not even owned as a slave. I asked him to be his slave, but I knew that I could not be one because I am not of his land nor do I have anything to buy citizenship. His scraps are all I have, and he tolerates my hiding out because he is generous. But does he love me? Why would a king with great sons and vast wealth love a nobody foreigner illegally hiding out in his dungeon? He has enough worshippers and family and I have nothing to offer him, so it is my fortune that he even heard me and chose to feed me until I was full and sustains me on scraps as I hide out on his land. But I am not wanted, I do not belong, and as I have fantasized that he would be my king, I know that I cannot gain citizenship. So God tolerates me, but he has already shown me that I am not worth his attention or consideration; he helps me in secret but I have nothing to offer him in return. I do not know his ways or the language of his people, nor his customs or history. This is completely incongruous with who he is; and if he has in fact welcomed me into his family, I am a worthless adopted slave not worth the mercy he has shown me. How then should I believe that the king loves me? Isn't it I who cannot give him suitable love? I have been shown some compassion, as a businessman might show a stray kitten stuck in a garbage heap crying out for milk. I can only want to belong to him; such cannot be, given who I am. -- This paranoia, insecurity and fear that rules over you can be solved. Are you willing to have faith in God? -- My mother told me, "You don't try to control a controller, it only ends up causing war." -- Everything valued by people will come to an end. Everything valued by God will last forever. "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God, but the interests of men." "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What good is it for a man to gain the entire world and forfeit his soul? What could a person exchange for their soul? The Son of Man will return with his angels and reward each person according to what they have done. There are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man returning on the clouds of heaven." -- God will take care of us. -- Matthew 22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. "Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.' "But they paid no attention and went off -- one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. "But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, 'How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?' The man was speechless. "Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' "For many are invited, but few are chosen." Luke 14:16-24 Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' "But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' "Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' "Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.' "The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' " 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.' " - The Kingdom of Heaven is all about Jesus Christ, God's Son. - God has servants who are messengers (angelos means messenger, prophet and professor mean speaker) and God sent them to invite people to Jesus Christ's feast. - This king is a generous king who invited people he knew would reject him, people who were not royalty but who were needy and poor -- the peasants. - Those who God wanted to invite (the Jews) refused him. You do not refuse a king; such would be a great sign of disrespect. Instead, you go out of your way to do what they tell you to do, to please them. - God sent even more people -- others, who might be more influential and compelling or for whatever other reason more likely to bring the people he generously and kindly invited to his son's wedding banquet (we're talking free food, here, a king's dinner; "my dinner") -- very compelling and they didn't even have to do anything, all the work was done and ready for them to enjoy with Jesus Christ. God gently commanded them to come. - In response, the people God had desired and taken great plans to have come to his beloved son's wedding feast, ignored him completely (totally disrespectful, almost enemy-like), and certain ones seized his servants, abused them and murdered them (an overt act of war). - This king looks out for his servants and takes care of them. He does not tolerate their mistreatment. He was enraged (read: be afraid) and selectively destroyed the murderers and completely ruined everything they had and their entire city according to the act of war they initiated against him. - The king continued his important business, and pointed out to his servants that those he had generously invited were unworthy of his kindness. He then invited strangers from the streets (like a person holding a sign on a street corner -- those people who get honked at when cars pass them by, and who get laughed at and pointed at and get their pictures taken and labeled as "weirdos" -- such were the servants who went out and invited others and held signs telling all those strange mockers to come to the wedding feast, anyone they could find). They gathered both bad and good people to the wedding feast so that the king's hall was filled with guests. - The king entered his hall in royal splendor and all those present were to stand in awe and show respect to him and his son and celebrate and be glad with him, and the king wanted to see the guests that his servants brought to enjoy his company. The king was disappointed by one man there who was not there to celebrate Jesus Christ's wedding feast. The king politely and in an accepting and friendly way gave him a chance to explain his business there, but the man had no excuse for his presence and should not have been there, so God motioned for his servants to bind him and throw him outside like those liars and murderers had done to his servants. - Many are invited, but few are chosen. - A wealthy and majestic and special man prepared a great and regal banquet. He invited many people. When everything was ready, he sent his valued servant to graciously tell those who were invited the good news that everything was ready for their arrival and that they should come (while the food is still warm!) - Instead of valuing this generous welcome mat, they all came up with baseless excuses not to attend, both insulting the man who invited them and harming themselves. Think about it: "I have just bought a field and I must go and see it. Please excuse me." It's dirt, it's not going anywhere, now is the time to celebrate with the king; do not insinuate that dirt is more valuable than the king's kindness and generosity and commands! "I have just bought five yoke of oxen and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me." Bring them along; maybe the king's advisors can give you advice about them and maybe his stablehands can tend to them! "I just got married, so I can't come." Is there any reason why you cannot celebrate your wedding with your wife also at a grand and spectacular banquet with a most kind and generous host? - The servant did not argue with, or bother to compel these people who clearly did not want to respect the king's desires. The servant travelled the long distance back to the king and told the king what they had said. - The king was angry. - The king ordered his servant to go into the (local) town and bring in all the needy people, the poor, crippled, blind, and lame, all those who might value his generosity. After the servant hurried to do this, there was still room left in the banquet hall. Wanting to please the king, the servant reported this to the king and the king told him to go out and keep finding more people, out in the roads and countryside lanes beyond the town's borders. He told the servant to try to compel those strangers to come into his celebration hall so that his house will be full. And he said that not one of those people who he initially invited will get a taste of his grand banquet. How would you feel if you prepared something wonderful, expensive, time-consuming, and unique and special for people who you have invited to enjoy it with you, but they reject you instead? -- Them: Thanks for praying for me. I prayed for you too and your family. It is very nice to know that someone as kind, nice and faithful as you prays for me. Me: It's not because I want something that God does it for me. It is because God wants something that he does it. Mark 3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone." Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. - The answer was to do good and to save life. -- God wants everyone to accept Kindness, Justice and Righteousness (Jesus Christ). Are you willing to accept this great and wonderful thing God has done for us? If so, then you will listen to him. Repent and believe the good news, which is that God saves everyone from sin and death if they accept and believe in Jesus Christ as their Teacher and Intercessor. Accept his body and blood (Spirit: "The words I have given you are Spirit and Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to come to me, and I will raise them up during the Last Day."). -- "Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name claiming to be the Christ and will deceive many. They will perform many miracles to deceive the elect [those I have chosen] if that were possible. People will betray and hate each other in the faith; all men will hate you because of me, but not even a hair on your head will perish, because by standing firmly [in faith in me] you will be kept safe." A reason to keep watch for Jesus Christ's return as he described and told us ahead of time is so that you will also not be deceived by people claiming to be him. Faith in God and Jesus Christ has saved those who possess it -- they have crossed over from death to life because Jesus is their Righteousness and Salvation. "In his name, the nations will put their hope." "Jesus" means "God Saves". Trust God and Jesus Christ, because he is the only one who is trustworthy. You cannot cure the blind, and by attempting to show them their weakness, they will only make that an excuse to try to kill you. "They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." Jesus will tell them simply, "I never knew you. Away from me, all you evildoers!" "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." "Everything that is hidden will be disclosed; every secret will be revealed. So do not be afraid of them. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing further to you. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both your body and your soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Don't men sell the lives of birds for cheap prices? Yet not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Even every hair on your head is numbered. So do not be afraid -- you are more valuable than many birds." (paraphrased.) -- All those who put God first will be acknowledged by Jesus Christ first: He speaks to the sheep he put on his right before he speaks to the goats he put on his left. The sheep put God and Jesus Christ first, and the goats put themselves first. "Many who are first will be last and the last will be first." "Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me," versus, "Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." This division is the ultimate consequence to action and inaction. -- What did Jesus Christ do while he was in the world, and why did he do it? "For judgement I have come into this world, so that the blind would see and those who see would become blind." "For this reason I was born and entered the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- Jesus Christ defines bravery. Jesus Christ defines authority. Jesus Christ defines obedience. God defines goodness. Jesus Christ, God's Jealousy, keeps me sane and well. -- How do I... use a calendar? Don't people make calendars to help mark the days? And what should I write in the box for each day? Precedent dictates that a person should write their plans for that day. What about God's plans for that day; who is keeping track of what God does and plans each day? "It is not for you to know the times and dates that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, and the whole Earth." People design and enforce schedules for themselves and others, expectations enforced by fabricated penalty. If someone wanted to say, "This is absurd, and I will not continue to follow the expectations of self-serving people anymore. I'm just going to learn from God today.", then they would be criticized for being self-serving and penalized by those who wanted them to remain enslaved to men's rules. Wisdom cannot thrive without acceptance of faith; and what faith in God is there when a person ignores God? "See, I will refine and test them. What else can I do because of the sin of my people?" Those who ignore God get disciplined and refined and tested by God so that they will stop ignoring God. Why punish a person who listens and is obedient? I will never be worth the consideration of God and Jesus Christ. But God and Jesus Christ wants me to consider him and his words because he is jealous for me. "God is of the living, not of the dead." Death does not bring a person closer to God. Life brings a person closer to God. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving, kindness, and you belong to me." Jesus Christ is that faithful loving kindness: "But after I have risen, I will draw all men towards myself." Today, Jesus Christ is drawing all people towards himself. Mark that on your metaphorical calendar. Today's plan is to draw all men towards Jesus Christ. "Whoever does not gather with me scatters." If a person pursues their own agenda, even if the fruit of their labor is something that a person can use to do good things for God, then it is not really pursuing God's agenda of having faith in Jesus Christ. Even if a person says to God, "God, I will serve you today," and then goes about their business, they have not done God's will. What is the work that God requires of us? "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." So today, plan to believe more in Jesus Christ, God's Hand and Mouth and Son, and not in your hands and mouth and goals. Listen to Jesus Christ. You were never in control of your life anyway... so why bother continuing trying to be in control of your life? "Why do you fear mortal men and think nothing about God who has in his hand your life and all your ways?" Obey God's Commandments. Look after your neighbor however you can. Love your neighbor as if they were you. A change in heart is painful, but God made your heart and is taking care of you. Be kind, just, and righteous in a manner that will honor God who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on the Earth because he delights in these things. "Do not boast of wisdom, strength, or riches, but if you boast, boast that you understand and know me and that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because I delight in these things." If you want to be a godly person today, do what God does -- listen to Jesus Christ's words and keep them in your heart and be like Jesus Christ and just have faith in him and trust him. His words are self-evident and he is Truth. "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the servant to be like his master." Do what Jesus Christ said to do. "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do what my Father does, then even if you do not believe me, believe on account of the miracles, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father." People will lie and deceive and perform many miracles to deceive many people. Do not believe them because they do not do what Our Father does. Jesus Christ is in Heaven but is always with us, just as he is called Immanuel, God with us, God's Presence. "And I assure you that I am with you always, even until the very end of the age [of mankind]." "There will be one flock, and one shepherd. My sheep know my voice; they will not follow the voice of a stranger, but will run away from them. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice. I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "...but this world must learn that I love the Father and that I do everything just as the Father has commanded me." Ask Jesus Christ to be your Righteousness and your Salvation. Pray to him; God already knows what you will say and what you need before you ask. "Seek, and you will find. Ask, and it will be given to you. Knock, and the door will be opened to you." It is good to trust in God and Jesus Christ; but how can the virgins keep their lamps lit without oil for their lamps' wicks? The flame would die and they would be left in darkness unless they continue to eat Jesus Christ's words to sustain them until he returns on the clouds of Heaven when the planets and moons are shaken, the day is without heat or cold, clouds and darkness cover the Earth, the sun and moon are darkened, the stars fall from the sky, and everyone everywhere sees Jesus Christ approaching on the clouds and Jesus sends out his angels with a loud trumpet sound to gather all those who belong to him from everywhere. A person who lacks fear and respect towards God is in denial of the Truth. They speak only to serve their own agendas; they criticize only to glorify themselves in the eyes of mortals, where Jesus Christ clearly commanded, "Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven." If a person criticizes another person, won't they be judged against hypocrisy? "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgements are correct, because I do not seek to serve myself but the one who sent me, and I do not stand on my own but stand with the Father who tells me what to say and how to say it, and what to do and how to do it." [paraphrased.] People tell me to be quiet just like they tell Jesus Christ to be quiet. They are not worthy of my words, and they are not worthy of his words. Yet these people spout nonsense to serve their own hunger for attention. Observe the television programming, where there is constant foofaraw and pagan worries, constant talking to spam your mind with shallow and meaningless words, to hijack your attention from God. Yes, I say it is malice, because it is harmful and refuses to change its ways. They make excuses for their actions, saying that "a person is not forced to watch that channel, change it to another channel instead," but all the time you are being coerced into neglecting the whole value and purpose of your life. Why? The people who broadcast insist that attention is valuable -- and so they buy your attention from program producers who tell those on camera to keep your attention at all costs, and then the broadcasting company sells your enslavement to you as a "service" to you, that you must buy. What a sham! It is as if to say, "I have brass knuckles here and a fist. I will sell you this premium service of punching you in the face, but it costs extra to add additional face slaps. See how fun and easy this is, and great for the whole family? I'll even give you a free trial for one month, look how generous I am. After all, I have to compete with all these other companies so you choose me instead of them to give you this great service. Call today!" And yet people will use this kind of service as an excuse to continue ignoring Jesus Christ. "Sorry, God, I'm busy getting punched in the face. Maybe tomorrow I can do what you want me to do." "Sorry, God, I'm busy being deceived by liars and scoundrels and thieves, insecure and paranoid people ruled by fear and striving to better themselves in the world. Maybe tomorrow you can tell me the meaning of life and why I exist." "Sorry, God, I'm busy living in torment and darkness, maybe tomorrow you can comfort me and help me and teach me so I can understand and honor your name and fear you and be well." But each of them declined the offer, making up excuses to not come to the wedding feast. Others beat his servants and treated the shamefully and killed them. God was enraged and destroyed those murderers and burned their city, then said, "Therefore, I tell you that the Kingdom of Heaven will be taken from you and given to people who will produce its fruit." The Kingdom of Heaven will be taken from this relativist society and given to people who will produce its fruit. And God will destroy these murderers and burn their cities. They will be left with nothing. Say goodbye to the United States, to China, to all those who steal and murder and lie, all the deceivers and abusers, all the arrogant and self-serving liars. "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." "As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." "Should it be said that the Lord is angry with us? Disaster will not overtake us, because we are strong and resilient. Whatever happens, we will survive," they say. I will not be associated with such fools. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright? ..." They will lack God's words and a curse will be upon them because they excuse wicked actions and faithlessness and neglect to do good to those who belong to God. "Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." So I say that I see and they are blind. I say that God teaches me and curses them. I say that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy and they trust in themselves. So I will live and they will die. I will live because of God's Jealousy and they will die because of God's Jealousy. I will live because of God's Mercy and they will die because of God's Mercy. Jesus Christ's name is to be honored and praised forever; all those who reject him are already guilty and stand condemned. All those who fear the Lord and honor his Son will be kept safe by God because of his Son. For them all, "the soul that sins is the soul that will die." Ignoring God's words is sinning. Jesus Christ is God's words. Ignoring Jesus Christ is sinning. Listening to Jesus Christ is obeying God who clearly and simply said, "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" "The Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who misuses his name." Yet these fools say, "Oh my God," all the time, so carelessly. "But I tell you that on the Day of Judgement, men will have to account for even every careless word they have spoken. By your words you will be pardoned, and by your words you will be condemned." How difficult is it to say and do good things according to God's will, to say proper things about God and do what he commanded? "...The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want... ...He leads me to green pastures and makes me rest by still waters... ...He restores my soul... ...Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil because you are with me..." Simple statements of faith are impossible for those who have no love for the only one who deserves faith and love. "I am a jealous God..." Faith and love belong to God and Jesus Christ who alone deserve these things, so "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God." "If you love me, you will obey my commands." "Whoever loves me will obey my commands. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands." How is it possible for you to love God? By obeying his commands. So, about all these things that a person can do, simply ask, "How can I love God?" You can love God by listening to Jesus Christ, who is God's son. "Then my Father will love you..." Therefore, mark on your calendar today to listen to Jesus Christ. -- Autism? Brain injury? Disabilities? Difficulties? Incapabilities? Social labeling? "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgements are correct, because I am not alone: I stand with the Father who sent me. And I did not come down from Heaven to please myself but to please the one who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all that he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." God can help people with all problems in life. "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me. If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever works for the honor of the one who sent them is a person of truth; there is nothing false about them. Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?" "You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?" "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished. Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (even though it actually did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a child on the Sabbath. Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath? Stop judging by mere appearances and make a right judgment." Yes, God works for your benefit. Yes, God wants you to do well. Yes, God has given his only son for you to believe in him and, by your believing in him, you will live with him forever. "No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down and take it up again of my own will. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it back up again; this command I received from my Father. ...Because I live, you also will live; whoever believes in me will live because of me." Therefore, listen to what Jesus Christ has said and learn from him so that you can properly decide whether he says only the truth and whether to believe him. "Blessed are those who do not fall away because of me." -- I don't own a smartphone, so I don't use 2FA. Even mind reading would have problematic security and privacy issues. Because God is the only strength, trusting in God's faithfulness is the only legitimate security solution. Ask God to guide you, and he will make [your project] the best it can be. Psalm 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, "The Lord is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." -- Throoset paused to sit down on a tree stump. The sun was behind overcast clouds and he felt the cool breeze while catching his respite from tiresome weed-pulling. A white butterfly fluttered away to cross the bent stream. Care-free, it scoured the tall grass for buds. Eventually, he would clear this area, perhaps to deny the butterfly its food and yield men's instead. Throoset predicted his hands, though gloved, would suffer from the sickle and machete after a few more minutes of work, so he put them down by the stump and rose from it to pace his progress. Young children, learn from what I have told you. If you want to be smart, you need to have discipline. Everyone needs to be disciplined by God. "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." He cares for me. I cannot be removed from his hand. I look to my left. I look to my right. People are not there. Where are those you love and to whom should I speak, to share your food? The land is barren. I look, see, I see dust. In order to plant, I need water. You gave me water from the ground. You hand me a shovel to dig. "They won't listen to me anyway," I cry to you. I start to chop at the ground and it is softened by the water. Add my tears, Lord; I cannot do this anymore. I'm spent and those who hate me prepare their mouths to ridicule me. By them you prepare a place for me as a reward, with you. "Will you crush me under your feet?" my heart cries out to you. You cover my eyes as a father shields the eyes of his infant. I will meet you in Heaven. I will come to you. I will wrap my arms around you. I will whisper secret fire in your ear. He will clothe you with salt. He will make them give you bronze gauntlets. With them you will offer him my fire in your hands, and he will teach you. Mine is a life of suppressed suffering and despair. I say, "I love you," and hear only "I hate you." I am not the kind of person who gets to have relationships. They are ruled by fear and paranoia, insecure and cruel. But in you I see some of God. He will make you see Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. Simply honor him in your heart and fear him: listen to Jesus Christ. Faith and trust in him, even though you appear alone, is the cure to their disease. For even if you are a queen and I am a foreign peasant, I will kiss your neck. Drizzle kisses your face. A gentle breeze caresses your cheek. Wind refills your lungs. Your keeper places a rainbow around you. He bestows you with wings and makes you obey him. Servitude is his blessing for you. I say, "It is an honor to be associated with Jesus Christ." He holds me in his Hand as he forms the cosmos. He shows me power so that I can give it back to him. Jesus is my love and my owner. You will know the bliss of existence. For now, "your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Jesus, love, dearest and most wonderful, I regret my disappointing you. Jesus christ, let this footstool mock me and ignore me, and why don't you ignore me also, you know why. I have nothing. All I have is you, and if you reject me or hold disdain for me, which is how I feel, then am I not hopeless? All these people clamor for attention, but attention is all in their imaginations. Your sheep want your attention. How do you manage all this? Trust. People no, God yes. The reason that I suffer is so I love God more. A friend is neither someone who hugs you and kisses you nor someone who wants you to do something for them, but is someone who respects you after you testify to the truth. A family member is neither someone who feeds you and takes care of you nor someone who loves you for who you are, but is someone who listens to Jesus Christ and obeys God's will. A lover is neither someone who has an intimate or sexual behavior towards you nor someone with whom you want to raise a family, but is someone who appreciates what God has taught you through the Holy Spirit. -- The government has no soul, but it has no problem making up and enforcing rules that cause many people to follow it into Hell. A sentence of criticism and it cries, "Treason!" A moment of wisdom and it cries, "Foul play!" Cries for real justice get muffled because it has defined justice as its opposite: revenge. Lies and deception prevail while compassion is shown no attention, because they all follow the motto "every man for himself" even as they enlist the lives of impressionable children and praise their service as "sacrifice" and "patriotism". Hypocrisy has made its family in our culture which is enslaved to fear, paranoia, and insecurity, and there are many who commit suicide because the people have lost faith in God and so the godly hide themselves from the reproach of cowards. Has this advanced civilization yet permitted kindness and good deeds in its streets without threat of litigation? Don't the people simply isolate themselves in fear in their homes, as is mandated in police states? For when a man steps outside his dwelling and speaks to his neighbors, who do not recognize him because they too have isolated themselves in their homes, they call the police who apprehend him and order, "Papiere, bitte!" Let's salute the flag... for the land of the enslaved and the home of the cowardly. Surely you will decry my words, but you cannot decry my first-hand experiences. Money equates to what people want, not to what God wants. "You cannot serve both God and money." "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but men's interests. If anyone would come after me, he must lay down his life and take up his cross and follow me. Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Unless you hate your life, you cannot be my disciple. What good is it for a person to gain the entire world, but end up forfeiting his own soul? What could a person exchange to buy back his soul? The Son of Man will come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will repay each being according to what it has done. In fact, some who are standing here will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." -- We live in a society of hatred and mockery. It's funny how whenever something is said to the appropriate audience, it is interpreted as being said to an inappropriate audience. Nobody wants to listen or humble themselves, do they? -- While they were eating Jesus took bread, gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat -- this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks, and offered it to them and said, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom." -- Many speak of God and Jesus Christ, but few speak to God and Jesus Christ, and of those few, a small fraction know God and Jesus Christ, and of those, only a very small number have faith and trust God and Jesus Christ, and of those, few persevere, and of those, who are abused and face the hardship of persecution and duress, how many does God make keep loving him? God feeds those who belong to Jesus Christ. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Any criticisms of me will not stand and will vanish because my Righteousness is perfect. All abuse of me will be mitigated and disappear because my Savior is Almighty. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come and your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us this day our daily bread. Please forgive us our sins. Please forgive for me. Please lead us not into temptation. Please deliver us from evil. Listen to Jesus Christ! Do not steal, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not give false testimony, Honor your parents, Love your neighbor as if they were you. -- Them: I'll tell you two of the chats I had with the psychologist lady, one last year, one this year. They seemed wise words. 1) She said last year to imagine a big mirror between dad and me whenever he swears me, and to imagine that his words do not come towards me, but go back to him, being addressed to him, and not to me. I am still working on achieving this tho, it is a bit hard to picture this, even if it sounds simple at litening/ reading. 2) She told me a story, a parable: There was a rich man and a poor man, neighbours. One day the rich man gave a basket full of shit to the poor man; the poor man said thanks and took it home. Then the poor man washed the basked and filled it up with fruits, good food he cooked, and went to the rich neighbour and gave the full basket to him. The rich neighbour said, how can you a poor man give me a full basket like this, after I gave you a basket of shit. The poor man said, you gave me what you had, I gave you what I had. So, the psychologist doctor said that dad swears me, cuz this is what he has inside; and I should not swear back but talk nicely, trying to be a better person, that has good things inside, and not the same hate and rudeness. [...] Anyway, the idea of the things said by the psychologist lady was that I have to try to be a good nice person, and not swear back even when I am sweared, cuz that doesn't make me a good person nor it solves anything. [...]I hope you're ok and not with some nasty flu or somethimg, since you said that there it is cold. I'll pray for your health, just in case. Me: Thanks for the cheer up :smile: Your dad is obviously struggling. "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Pray for him and have faith and trust that God will handle this and all problems. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+16%3A19-31&version=NIV [Luke 16:19-31] I was feeling sick, but when you prayed for me as I was sleeping, I felt better. https://biblehub.com/rom/matthew/10.htm "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." ;) -- Breathe deeply repeatedly and be happy that you are still alive. With God, instead of ultimata there is truth and wisdom. With God, there is his life. With God, there is his peace. With God, there is relief and freedom. Instead of criticism, he provides hope through himself. Logic and Reason belong to him and he wields them with glory. All will see his majesty. Those who listen to him will be set aside with him in safety. Those who do not listen to him will be silenced and all will see their shame. With God, there is compassion and love, so accept his forgiveness: accept Jesus Christ. God's Justice is real and he is beyond the judgments of mortals. There is only one real judge and he forgives with his interceding Righteousness. All will see his face. His Name, Jesus Christ, will be glorified repeatedly. The real meaning of life is learned by being Jesus Christ's disciple. -- Cowards vote off the island because they are wicked and cruel. But God says, "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." -- Matthew 21:16 "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'?" (Psalm 8:2). Jesus Christ hears you. -- Them: no offense intended, but I am not interested in bible quotes Me: I am well aware of what you are interested in. And I am only interested in what God says, because he made me and I belong to him. Your interests cannot usurp me or the countenance of his words. No offense intended, but I am only interested in God and Jesus Christ. I share these things with you for your benefit, not mine. It's up to you to find it in your heart to value good things, not simply pleasant things, as a child would learn to favor vegetables rather than potato chips. ;) Matthew 21:16 "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'?" (Psalm 8:2). From this, learn the following: Jesus Christ hears you. -- Them: Please respect that I don't want you to send me religious messages Me: aw, that makes me sad God is all I enjoy talking about. Do you respect that? They may not think so now, but in the end, they will respect God's Son. "They will respect my son," he said. -- Words pass. Feelings cannot be shared between people. Feelings pass. Praise rises from the heart. Thoughts vanish. May Jesus Christ's name be praised forever. You do not understand! Mind and heart cry out worship to Jesus Christ. Jesus hears, knows, and understands. Praise Jesus! Every song has new lyrics to influence their minds to honor him. Praise Jesus, Savior, Hallel. Your worthless crafted trinkets will disappear. Your nonsense will be forgotten. Take whatever you want to last and dedicate it to Jesus Christ. Music? Do you like music? What's the point unless it serves His Honor? Food? What do you think of food, is it worth keeping? Accept it as Jesus Christ's body and blood. What of this world, His Footstool, which will pass away along with Heaven, His Throne? Is anything worth keeping? Look around and let him know if you want to keep anything for Heaven. If there is anything to keep, use it for Jesus Christ's glory. Honor him with it. You cannot understand or know his countenance and power. Simply listen to Jesus Christ and talk to him! He will answer you if you listen to him. After all, why answer someone who will not listen to you anyway? "As the stars are higher than the Earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and are my ways higher than your ways." "You are from below, I am from above." "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it." So listen to Jesus Christ if you want to know the truth. If you do not want to know the truth, you will face great harm so that you will gain a desire to listen to Jesus Christ! What is love according to its author? Jesus has secrets and secret agents he uses as wild card operatives on his footstool. Strategically placed and directly guided with his Most Revered Holy Spirit, he uses them to provide justice and guide the hearts of people back towards him and focus on God who alone is Absolutely Good. They are not worth his breath, but he breathes in them anyway. If God gave a man all authority, the man must give it back to him and ask Jesus Christ, God's Hand, to handle it for him. Do not think of angels. Think of Jesus Christ and God. Do not think of the Devil. Think of Jesus Christ and God. Do not think of goals and agendas people set for themselves. Just think of Jesus Christ and God. All this dust will return to dust. It is destined to be reduced to nothing, but if you want real good things that will never fade away, think of Jesus Christ and God -- his words. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." I will say it again, but you could never understand! Praise Jesus. Jesus Christ, I ask that you lift this curse from them. -- Them: If someone does not want to hear the message from your god, do you think copying and pasting random things at them is an effective way to spread your message? To be blunt - if you send me anything further that is related to religion I will block you It's up to you. If your misguided and misinterpreted views of Christianity dictate that anyone who doesn't enjoy having a superficial message shoved down their throats isn't worthy of being "saved" then so be it. I personally have state recognised qualifications in Christian Theology - but everyone has their own interpretation of religion and I fundamentally disagree with yours. If you cannot respect my religious beliefs as I respect your right to have your own, we cannot be friends. I leave the choice to you. Me: Go ahead and hate me with all your heart. :heart: Show me just how nasty and mean you can be to me. Show me all that evil you have stored up in your heart which you are just waiting to unleash on me. Now is your excuse, now is your opportunity. Hate me with all you've got. You are lukewarm. And you blame innocent people for the consequences of your actions. This arrogance will lead to your complete downfall, because you are cursed. In fact, you are doing me a favor by staying away from me, so that I do not face the disaster of your hateful and irresponsible lifestyle. Do you honestly believe you can succeed and that God will fail? Are you certain that it is bad to talk about God? Your threat to block me is quite redundant, because you have already blocked yourself from listening to me. But actually, it's Satan who has stolen away from you what was sown, so that you do not understand and turn to God and have eternal life in Jesus Christ. Will you blame Jesus Christ then for Satan's evil actions which result from your own hard heart? You are lying to me and I couldn't befriend a liar because I value truth. You will not understand until Jesus Christ removes the curse from you. Maybe someday when you are older, and suffering much more, he might allow you to repent and love him. Until then, you dwell in an unclean grave. May God bless you and be gentle and kind to you, and do whatever it takes to save your soul from death and despair. In his own time, not yours. -- "Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me." The solution to fear is faith in God and Jesus Christ, which means trusting in the faithfulness of God and Jesus Christ. It can be difficult to have faith and trust, especially if you do not see God and Jesus Christ taking care of you and for who they are: Almighty and in control. Remember what he said: Trust in God, trust also in me. This means that God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Your doubts and perceptions are not trustworthy, nor is fear or insecurity or emotions. Neither security nor insecurity is trustworthy -- only God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. Even if you feel divided against yourself, know that God is in control and he says, "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." This was in reference to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who said in response to the demand of King Nebuchadnezzar to bow down and worship his statue, "Great king, may you live forever! We do not need to defend ourselves in this matter. The God we serve is able to rescue us from your hand. But even if he does not, we will not bow down and worship your statue." They trusted in God, and Jesus Christ took care of them, preventing them from receiving harm. Demonstrate trust in Jesus Christ not by jumping off a cliff and putting God to the test, but by accepting Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. Accepting him is all one must do to live forever. "My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made pure in weakness." Nothing further is required of man than to listen to and accept Jesus Christ, because he is God's living word, and he said, "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." -- The Absolute Truth is more valuable and important than reality. God and he creates and guides his people. His words are kindness, justice, and righteousness. Have faith in God and Jesus Christ rather than be afraid of what you think is real, because God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy and is the only one who is in control of reality. Do not fear mortal men and those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Fear God who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. You are valuable to God and he takes care of his own wherever they are. Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. He holds in his hand your life and all your ways. Accept God's commandments and eat to internalize his flesh and blood, the words he gave us which is Spirit and Life. -- Less than one month has passed since we last met in this majestic chamber to speak on behalf of the citizens of [location] and to address their concerns, their hopes, and their dreams. That night, I spoke with the president and determined that we must take very swift action. A new tide of optimism must begin to sweep across our land. Each day, we must go forward with a clear vision, and a righteous mission: to make [location] great again, for all its residents. In the future, we will make extraordinary progress and achieve extraordinary success. We will face challenges that we have expected, and others that we could never have imagined. We will share in the heights of victory and in the pains of hardship. We will endure floods, and fires, and storms, but through it all, we will see the beauty of the human soul and the steel in the human spine. Each test has forged new heroes who show us who we are and what we can be. Today, I am here to tell you how we, and Crime Watch, although weak and powerless, can change the world. Peace be with you. Out of neighborly love, share the best that we have and know. Say what is necessary to support and encourage despite frequent rejections. People from all social situations can be optimistic and kind. The scourge of crime is a bad, oppressive symptom of a problem that can be cured. We must not become afraid or defensive or retaliate when provoked. Instead, remember that the path of success begins and ends with the powerful guidance of God and Jesus Christ's words and actions where we find truth to reinforce us through times of confusion, compassion to care for us through times of hardship, light to guide us through times of darkness, and solutions to improve us through times of hopelessness. His countenance shields us from oppression and humbles our hearts as a landscaper clears the brush to prepare it for beautiful work. The residents of [location] gravitate towards hope and light to build us up and sustain us into the future. We must swiftly move towards the light before despair and darkness drown our homes and our neighborhoods. We know that our strength does not come from accumulated wealth and that is why thieves cannot faze us. Instead, with a righteous purpose, we work for a pure treasure held for us by God. His words sustain us through every challenge, and it is his actions of kindness, justice, and righteousness, that inspire us all and give us hope for the future. Let us honor him by also showing compassion and faithfulness to all those around us. This light will spread from our neighborhoods, throughout our country, and to the entire world. I ask for Crime Watch to shift its focus from the symptom to the cure of its cause. If we look towards crime, crime is what we will see. If we look towards goodness, goodness is what we will see. As faith is the cure to fear, compassion is the cure to crime. Among devastation, there is always room for selfless bravery and hope to shine from our hearts and for us to serve our neighbors with gentle compassion. And in everyday life, we must wholeheartedly pursue a future of goodness to show our neighbors and the world that criminal behavior is unnecessary. We learn goodness from the Master, from God who alone is good. Do not let the negative media cloud our better judgement or dismay our resolve, for when we succeed, there will be no more bad news for them to report. Never believe that God accepts wickedness. A good future is built upon disciplined adherence to God's Commands in ourselves, our homes, neighborhoods, schools, media, and institutions. Sin and crime against God is also crime against those he created. Our nation remains vindicated as long as our laws match God's laws: do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you. Look to God and insist upon godly behavior in ourselves and others. When we show God that we as a unified people want to walk in his ways, he will wipe clear all evil from our land and bless us beyond our wildest hopes and dreams. In order to cure crime in our neighborhoods, we must be brave, humble, disciplined, and faithful. Time after time, God continues to prove to us that he takes good care of us individually and as a world, and that he looks after all of his people, wherever they are. Let us in our hearts repent of our own criminal tendencies and walk in the brilliant light of his son Jesus Christ, who called his lost sheep to repent and by the Spirit of God brought near to us the Kingdom of Heaven, declaring, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness because they will have the light of life. You will have the light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the light so that you may become sons of light." Of him it was written, "those living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the valley of the shadow of death, a light has dawned." I am calling upon my fellow Americans in [location] to persevere in purity, because we are the light of the world. Just as our majestic cities were built for refuge and the headlamps of our cars shine our paths at night, we must let our goodwill and kind deeds shine for our neighborhoods so that the people of [location] may see the good things we do and in their hearts be uplifted and grateful to God who has both given us life and helped us on our way. Therefore, what he tells you at night, share during the day, and what he secretly whispers into your ear, proclaim in public. All things are possible with God. May this world never forget what is important. God's agenda is for each of us to live forever. God loved the whole world by giving us his only son so that anyone who believes in him will live forever. We are all flawed and biased and have in our hearts and in our nature criminal tendencies against God and our fellow man. But here is the example of compassion God gave to us: God sent his son to save the world, not to condemn it. The person who believes in him is safe from judgment, and the person who rejects him has already been deemed guilty for having not believed God's only son. This is the verdict: light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does bad things hates revelation and will not step into the light because they are afraid their actions will be disclosed. The person who lives by the truth gravitates toward light so that God's actions through them may be shown. If we claim to have the right to discover, apprehend and detain criminals in our society, then we too must be fully honest and contrite in our hearts before God and accept his corrections to avoid hypocrisy. Those who belong to the light of the world are not of the world, but God sets them apart for special purpose. In the same way, in order to guide [location] to victory over crime, let this Crime Watch assembly be set apart for God's special purposes, to be inspired and to inspire others, to learn from God and to do what God does. Jesus, the anointed one, has led Justice to victory through himself for all people. He has given us great power through accepting his words. Throughout every challenge, rejection, and hardship we will face, God remains in control of our lives and our paths and said, "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Bring your entire heart to me and I will fill it with more blessings than you can manage." He has done this for me, and I certify that there is no one more trustworthy to inspire and carry us to a better future. Keep Watch, Crime Watch. -- Why do they call him the "Prince of Peace" while he is the Sovereign King who gives us his Eternal Peace? He is not a prince, but a king, and he does not usher peace but Peace belongs to him and he gives it permanently to whomever he wants according to his decision according to his Father's Command. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" -- "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. I have other sheep that are not of this sheepfold; I must bring them also, and they also will hear and listen to my voice, and there will be one flock, and one shepherd. My Father loves me because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I willingly lay it down. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This Command I received from my Father." "...The world must learn that I love the Father and that I do everything just as the Father has commanded me." Jesus Christ loves his Father and does everything exactly as his Father commands. The meaning of Life is to obey God. I exist to obey God, and Jesus Christ has handled this for me. He helps me fulfill the purpose and meaning of my self, of why I exist. Accepting him is obeying God, and accepting him fulfills the reason why I am. As I live, I must learn from God and Jesus Christ what it means to trust God and Jesus Christ. He rules the world with Truth and Peace. Everyone will respect God's Son. But regardless, I must love and value his Countenance. "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. [Perseverance (salt), Purity (fire), and Division.] [...read Matthew 10.]" -- Them: [begs me for content in a computer game] Me: Why do you keep begging me for game content? Surely this is not the best thing in your life. I share the best that I have and know out of love. This is why I write to you about Jesus Christ and God. It's no problem for me to give you worthless things also. -- Be gentle. Jesus Christ teaches so we can understand. If he did not need to holler God's words at the top of his lungs to those sitting all around him -- and remember that he said, "For I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, because my yoke is easy and my burden is light" -- then why should we holler them out to the people around us? Proclaiming and uplifting of voice means to simply share from your heart when you understand what was told to you by God, not to literally scream. "But can you explain that in your own words," which people were saying, is an implied request to hand them the food so they can grasp the plate and look at the food and place it in their mouths and chew it and carefully swallow it and digest it for nourishment, instead of having a plate thrown at them or "some object" shoved into their mouths. God does not scream at us through the Holy Spirit, but he most graciously and compassionately guides. His words themselves have authority, because he is the authority; you don't have to try to force a person to recognize that through forcing his words at them. "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." -- You have rejected God. You have rejected Truth. And you have neglected each other. You have caused crime to become a global catastrophe. Crime is worse than theft and murder, than breaking into property or abusing drugs or shooting each other with guns. Crime is unfaithfulness to God. Crime is fear. Crime is oppression. Crime is the suicide epidemic among schoolchildren. Crime is the unmitigated warmongering by the military-industrial complex and governments. Crime is narcotics and harmful drugs. Crime is police and military brutality. Crime is greed. Crime is adultery and sexual immorality which plagues the Internet. Crime is gangs. Crime is rape and abuse. Crime is bullying. Crime is murder. Crime is thievery. Crime is weapons. Crime is mockery. Crime is cruelty. Crime is callousness. Crime is ignoring each other. Crime is hating each other. Crime is violence. Crime is making satellite-mounted directed energy weapons and using them to raze buildings like the World Trade Center. Crime is invasion. Crime is not trusting God. Crime is ignoring God. Crime is saying "be all that you can be" instead of saying "obey God's Commandments". Crime is saying "I have the right to do whatever I want". Crime is malice. Crime is defending yourself. Crime is insecurity. Crime is retaliation. Crime is revenge. Crime is retribution. Crime is vindictiveness. Crime is evil. Crime is wickedness. Crime is force. Crime is harshness. Crime is hatred. Crime is libel and slander. Crime is deceit and false testimony and lying. Crime is lewdness. Crime is envy. Crime is arrogance. Crime is folly. Crime is abductions. Crime is irresponsibility. Crime is careless words. Crime is unkind decisions. Crime is allowing all such things. Crime is not anticipating and preventing all such things. Crime is not actually wanting God to cure us of crime. Crime is insincerity and impurity. Crime is pride, a lack of humbleness. Crime is a lack of good love. Crime is mindless and heartless rejection. Crime is dismissing wisdom. Crime is unreasonable provocation and irreverence of sacredness. Crime is gossiping and demeaning and condemning and demonizing people unjustly. Crime is being angry at someone in your heart and thinking evil of each other. Crime is hypocrisy. Has Crime Watch noticed any of these criminal activities and helped us to successfully anticipate and prevent them? Our hearts are narcissistic and lukewarm. We do nothing to successfully cure crime. We don't even want to know the cure. We are criminals and we teach others to pursue lives of crime. We are hypocrites. We lock our doors against external crime, but inside our houses, we bathe in it. The television, news, and entertainment media is a criminal playground filled with unfaithfulness, violence, sexual immorality, adultery, deceit, ignorance towards God, cancerous, self-centered mantras like "just be yourself and love yourself and be all that you can be irrespective of wise discipline", lewdness, envy, careless and irreverent words, and folly, and yet we have it running constantly in the background and sit our impressionable children down in front of it to stare directly at it every day. Garbage in, garbage out! I wonder why children are murdering each other. I wonder why children are killing themselves. Could it possibly be due to a lack of legitimate reason to live? Could it possibly be due to a lack of solid foundation upon God and Jesus Christ's words? No of course not; our criminal hearts could never accept that as the cause, because then it would make us look bad, make us look like we've done something wrong and are guilty of neglect of building a solid foundation in society. No, our faithless and lazy bottoms absolutely cannot be at fault for the crimes caused by other people. Our children are depressed because they have problems. I mean, if we were actually at fault for harming their constitutions with our strife... that would mean that we could actually do something to make all the crime go away. But we love crime, don't we? Isn't that why we watch action-packed movies and play first-person shooter video games and read exciting novels and buy newspapers whose writers demean and accuse and demonize people and focus on crime? Surely, if we as a race did not love and welcome evil with all our hearts, we would have stopped engaging in it back during the time of Cain and Abel. Had we actually wanted good instead of evil, Cain would have learned from Adam and Eve's mistakes and he would have never insulted God and murdered his brother. If we didn't want war, why would we demonize others and sow hatred for them so that we sin against them in heart and deed? If we don't want shooters in churches, why else have we as a nation in almost every aspect of our culture neglected to insist upon fear and reverence of God and obedience to his Commandments? Did we scatter maple seeds and expect delicate flowers to appear? We have forgotten and neglected and sinned. We neglect counsel, for we would rather talk about ourselves than hear anything about God or Jesus Christ. We think that it is unforgivable to publicly mention the name of our Creator who we should be loving with all our hearts, minds, souls and wills -- but no, we cannot mention him at all to other people, or else we might offend them. Who says? Why not? We'd rather make it impossible for good things to happen on Earth than to admit a mustard seed of guilt. We removed God from schools so that our schoolchildren kill themselves and each other. What did we think would happen? We removed God from government so that our politicians abuse and hate and backstab each other. What did we think would happen? We removed God from neighborhoods so that residents lock their doors and don't exercise kindness or compassion but accusations and litigation and isolate themselves in fear. What did we think would happen? If it was so wise for us to choose to ignore God and Jesus Christ, then tell me, why have things only been getting worse in all aspects of life? We claim to have the right to discover, apprehend, and detain those criminals who offend us, but it is we who are guilty, wicked, and lazy, condemned by complacency in our material possessions and too foolish to listen to Jesus Christ who would heal our hearts and our land and too cowardly to work for Truth even when there is no oppressor to silence us. Look around; where is the wrath of the oppressor inhibiting our progress? We are unworthy to tie the shoes of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who defied King Nebuchadnezzar even though he presented them with a penalty of death because they refused to offend God by worshiping his statue or serving his gods. God's Savior kept them safe from harm even though they were thrown into an insanely-heated blast furnace, because of simple faithfulness, even though they knew that God might decide to not save them from harm. But we as individuals, as neighborhoods, as [] County, as [state], as the United States of America, and as a world, are unfit and unworthy of him. And our hearts are unfit to serve the Kingdom of Heaven. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. If only we would love him, he would cure us of crime. -- Hello! My name is [name]. I reside in [location]. I would like to talk about an important, crime-related concern. Crime is an oppressive symptom caused by a problem that can be solved. I would like Crime Watch and each of us assembled here today to consider what we can do to cure the cause of crime. Crime is essentially sin. God commanded us, do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself. When a person demonstrates love for God by doing what he says, it is his words in their heart that keep them from committing crimes. By considering our own sinful tendencies, we can anticipate and prevent potential instances of crime. For example, by placing your car in your garage, you can help deter the temptation a person might otherwise have to break into it. Crime Watch has given us effective advice to deter criminal temptations. I encourage Crime Watch to expand these considerations to include building compassion and kindness among residents and neighborhoods. Simply baking a pie and saying hi can uplift a community. Do not focus on oppressive criminal activities, but let's discuss how we could spread good will, loving kindness, generosity, and gentleness to provide good examples and understanding from our own benevolent hearts to spread into the hearts of our families, neighborhoods, schools, businesses, media, and institutions. Kindness inspires more kindness. Thinking of each other and praying for each other can work wonders. With God, all things are possible. I believe that faith is the cure to fear and compassion is the cure to crime. Let's think about areas in life where people resort to crime and how we can resolve such problems with good will and compassion. Let's also think about how each of us can gently bring the good foundation of God's words to those who are desperately needing reinforcement, such as children suffering from depression in schools and employees struggling with the demands of their workplace. Let people know that you are thinking of them and that you are praying for God to be kind to them. Say "hello", "it's nice to see you", and "thank you". Think of ways that you can make others happy and improve their situations as you would want to be happy and do better in your situations. Let's pace our plans for increased consideration so that we do not wear out but can see our strategies through to completion. And don't be dismayed, Crime Watch, because God has already told us that all bad things will come to an end, but that his Salvation will endure for all generations and his Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness will continue unending forever. Jesus Christ has already led Justice to victory. All we need to do now is look for ways to love each other in [location] as he loved us. [revised] My friends, I spent 41,760 minutes preparing what to say. All I ask is a few minutes to say it. It is OK to value goodness and be a kind person. It is my greatest privilege, humblest pride, highest honor, truest joy, and sincerest fulfillment to be associated with Jesus Christ. He forgives criminals, and his words heal, clean, feed, nurture, sustain, and carry me, and give me peace and prosperity forever. No matter what happens to me, I have already known that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and no one can steal that from me. Hello, my name is [name]. I reside in [location]. I would like to talk about an important concern related to crime. Crime is an oppressive symptom caused by a problem that can be solved. I would like for us to consider everyday good things we can do which will have a net effect of preventing crime. Crime is essentially sin. The Ten Commandments were put in place to prevent sin and crime. They include do not steal and do not murder, but love your neighbor as yourself. Simply keeping these commands in our hearts helps us to avoid becoming criminals ourselves, and demonstrating selflessness inspires others to turn away from crime. Our kindness can inspire kindness in others. Crime Watch gives us effective advice that we can reflect upon to help us anticipate and prevent potential criminal activities, such as locking our cars and homes to deter stealing. I believe that in the long run, compassion is the cure to crime. I am encouraging Crime Watch to expand its discussions to include how we as residents can demonstrate and build in our communities good will, compassion, loving kindness, generosity, gentleness, consideration, encouragement, and benevolence to provide good examples to inspire our hearts, families, neighborhoods, schools, businesses, media, and institutions. We are not helpless against crime, but we need to actively do good things each day if we are to succeed in eventually eliminating it. Simply thinking of each other, praying for each other, baking a pie, saying "hi", and saying "it's nice to see you" and "thank you" are examples of ways that we can uplift and encourage and show consideration to each other to help improve our situations and support happiness. Be aware of the people around us and think of ways in which we can show mercy, as Jesus Christ showed us out of compassion and mercy and love, whether to neighbors, schoolchildren, coworkers, family members, acquaintances, or strangers. He wanted to help us, like he said, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Don't we want to help each other? Don't we want genuine kindness? Remember the beggar Lazarus who was laid, neglected, outside the rich man's gate while even dogs came up to him to lick his sores. True Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Why do we look down at people before knowing their motives? Why don't we just do what is right? Why don't we judge for ourselves, in our own hearts, what is right? Otherwise, we might cause enmity in adversaries, with whom we would then need to try hard to be reconciled, lest they take us to the magistrate or judge, the judge turn us over to the officer, and the officer throw us into prison, where we would not get out until we have paid every last penny we owed. So don't be dismayed, Crime Watch, because God wants us to succeed, and with him, all things are possible. Perhaps Crime Watch can set aside a portion of each meeting to brainstorm ideas that will enable us to implement good citizenship in all of our communities. I conclude with a cautionary anecdote. "A man had an apple tree growing in his garden, and he went to look for apples on it but did not find any. Finally, he said to his gardener, 'Look, for the past three years, I have been looking for apples on this tree and did not find any. So cut it down; why should it merely be taking up space and using up the nutrients in the garden soil?' The gardener answered, 'Sir, give it one more chance. Just leave it for one more year, and I will dig around it and give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If it produces fruit next year, good! If not, then cut it down.'" Thank you for your time. -- Me: There once was a fellow from Wall Whose legs were tremendously tall. His pants were so short When he played every sport That his shoes came off with the ball. Them: No offense [name], but, what are these for? Me: Why do you ask what these are for? They are lim'ricks, not something to bore. To rhyme is to say In a playful way That life need not be such a chore. -- I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my Hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one. When you wash dishes, you use a sponge and soap. God will not use a sponge or soap, but will clean us with his Hand. "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean." -- Why would you judge someone if you don't even know their motives? -- Why don't you just do what's right? "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you that you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny you have owed." -- Jeremiah 9:22-24 This is what the Lord says: "Bodies will be scattered across the fields like clumps of manure, like bundles of grain after the harvest. No one will be left to bury them." This is what the Lord says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let whoever boasts boast about this: that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because I delight in these things." So don't worry about worldly issues. God will take care of us. Simply be proud to understand and know God who exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on Earth because he delights to do such things. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. Them: Can I ask you something? What you think of it? I told you that on some few occasions I have lit a candle and said a little prayer for Freddie Mercury (Queen singer, who died of AIDS, probably got due to his gay love life), or Kurt Cobain (Nirvana, killed himself), and for my deceased aunt (who had shizophrenia and threw herself in the village river few days after grandmother's funeral, they were living in same home). So, sometime I wonder if it is ok to light a candle and pray for them? I assume it is ok to pray for anyone tho. But I am not 100% sure ... Me: God listens to your heart. Them: Probably I did it for the first 2 cuz I enjoyed their songs a lot in my teens even when home wasn't exactly peace; and for aunt, cuz her ilness was from same family of ilnesses like mine. -- "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgements are correct, because I seek not to please myself but the one who sent me, and I do not stand alone but with the Father. This is my Father's will: that I shall not lose any of all he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him has eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "The Son of man did not come to condemn the world but save it through himself." There is calmness and acceptance with Jesus Christ. "I have given them your words and the world has hated them. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth. Your words are truth. For them, I have sanctified myself, so that they also may be truly sanctified." "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. You do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you out of the world, and that is why they hate you." "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." "So do not be afraid of them. Everything hidden will be revealed and everything done in secret will be made known." Them: Ummm ... The sins one has confessed to a priest and have been forgiven, are they still mentioned at the final day of judgement? Just wondering ... Me: 'As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because you are with me.' Your words are a balm and shield my heart, mind, soul and will from those who desire to harm me. Remain with me forever. "And surely, I am with you always, even until the very end of the age." "But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the Day of Judgement even for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be pardoned, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:33-37 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks that of which the heart is filled. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty [careless] word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." "There is a judge for the person who hears my words but does not accept them. That very word which I spoke will condemn them on the Last Day, because I did not speak on my own but said only what my Father says as he says it." Them: You were saying earlier that you're writing things related with recent events of mine. Well, this really fits it. Proof I did well not to pay back with same coin and swear back that person who sweared me for 4342423^342214-th time. Sometime I do wonder, how you find easily exactly what's best to say in each situation? :smiley: Me: It is good for me to do what God tells me to do. "Do not my words do good to the person whose way is upright?" https://biblehub.com/niv/micah/2.htm -- Jeremiah 51:58 Ecclesiastes 5:11 Isaiah 48:17-19 Habakkuk 2:13-14 Matthew 6:19-21 Matthew 11:28-30 Wealth is a burden, but Jesus Christ welcomes overburdened people. -- In music, I am free from persecution. My heart shares with Jesus Christ praise that man cannot perceive to rebuke me. They only hear the sound, but my God clearly knows what I have shared in secret to his Son. -- In this is documented some of what Jesus Christ has taught me so that you might understand it. What he has taught me is much more than what I documented. He gave his words and his life to sustain all who would listen to him. With his words, he gave me life and makes me live and feeds me and sustains me so that I will never die because his words are within me. With his life, he gave me life and makes me live and teaches me and sustains me so that I will never die because he is within me. The understanding he gives me must be given to you by him. If I summarize that he accepts you, you surely would not understand. He must give you eternal life himself. "Blessed are you, Simon, son of John, because this was not revealed to you by man but by my Father who is in Heaven. And I tell you that you are peter, and on this rock, I will build my church and the gates of Hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you permit on Earth will be permitted in Heaven and whatever you prohibit on Earth will be prohibited in Heaven." Note that what I have said is paraphrased and reworded. Surely, Jesus Christ teaches better than I do. And yet my saying so makes some think that my humbling myself invites them to kick me in the groin. When I said that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, that was before he showed me the acceptance and support he graciously gave me in his words. I do not know your experiences, but Jesus Christ has more to teach you in his words, and you do not stop learning after your body dies. -- How do you make an atheist hate you? Tell them that God loves them. How do you make an atheist reject you? Tell them the truth. How do you confuse an atheist? Tell them that no matter how big they make their egos, they will never be the center of the Universe. How many atheists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One; they only believe in themselves. Why did the agnostic man keep stumbling into his furniture? When anyone would turn on the lights, he would cover his eyes and holler, "I cannot know!" Why should you never argue with an atheist? They have already proven themselves wrong. Why is it so easy to win an argument against an atheist? God created everything, so by definition, they don't know what they're talking about. How do you make an atheist stop talking to you? Answer every statement by simply saying, "tragic". -- Satan uses selective hearing to eliminate understanding. -- I made the following statement at the local Crime Watch meeting. "Hello, my name is [name]. I reside in [location]. My friends, thank you for your time and consideration. I spent 40,000 minutes preparing what to say. Now the day has come, and I ask only a few minutes to say it. I believe that crime can be permanently eliminated over time with hard work. We will persevere and we will succeed. The word "crime" originates from 1200-1250 of Latin, Old French, Anglo-French, and Middle English. Crime is a noun that means any severe wrongdoing or sin, any action or negligence that is injurious to the public welfare, and that is legally prohibited. Crime, offense, and sin are words whose meanings agree in a breaking of law. Crime is a broad term indicating a severe violation of human law. Offense means infraction of human or divine law. Sin means infraction of divine law. I speak only of what I know and have learned as a Christian, and what I see can be done. The police do a good job, and we as residents can also actively and peacefully affect crime. Anyone who commits a crime with evil intent also sins against God who alone is Good. Anyone who accepts discipline from God and Jesus Christ also adheres to rational human law. When man disrespects God, he also disrespects man who God created. In our hearts and minds, we all are guilty of crime and disrespect against God and our fellow man. But God can, and wants to, heal us. All we have to do is listen to Jesus Christ. Why do we bother inventing perverse rules like "do not mention God or religion"? Which is more important to us: our reputations or God's reputation? If a person thinks it is their reputation, then I tell you, already it has suffered in God's sight. Like Jesus told us, "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge. I tell you the truth: if anyone keeps my word, they will never see death." Crime is a symptom of a severe and deadly problem, like a sneeze or cough is a symptom of illness. The doctor is in, and he is taking patients now to cure ill hearts. Stop casting blame and tallying the crimes of your neighbors. Do not be angry with your brother in your heart. In your hearts, do not think evil of each other." At this point, they interrupted me and said they were out of time. I thanked them and asked if I could make a final statement. I said, "I believe that as residents, it is our duty to show kindness and compassion in our neighborhoods so that this becomes a light from within us to cast out the darkness of crime... over time. It takes time." Because I said this, because God said this through me in the kindest and most gentle way possible ["It will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Heavenly Father speaking through you."], they prohibited me from ever speaking to them again and decided that they would screen everyone before allowing them to speak. [Such an act is called censorship.] You see, some people simply do not want to hear God or the path of success. If it does not come from their feeble imaginations, it is not worthy of their consideration or respect. So be it. "Leave them. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." -- To Whom It May Concern: With logic, reason, hope, clear direction, and guarantees I inspired and exhorted the public Crime Watch assembly on [date], to successfully and permanently eliminate crime. Afterwards, I was commended and encouraged with very kind support by fellow residents, a very welcoming woman who represented a different organization fostering new community leadership among youths, and some of the attending police officers, one of whom was a captain and another of whom was a sergeant, who strongly agreed with my statement and encouraged me to continue to inspire others and exhort civil compassion so that as a united people we would finally succeed against crime and secure peace for our neighborhoods. When most of the assembly had left, I spoke in person again with the president of the Crime Watch organization and encouraged him to continue his good work, to push forward even when it appeared that no headway was being made against the tide of crime. By the end of the day, all indications and responses to my concern had offered me welcoming encouragement and hope for the future security of my neighborhood. The following day, the president of the organization expressed anger at what I had said during the open mic session and contacted the former president of the organization, who then contacted my mother, who in turn informed me that the president was upset with me and would in the future be screening (censoring) everyone before they would be allowed to speak at the "open mic" segment of each meeting. I now feel ostracized and entirely unwelcome to attend future Crime Watch meetings, which are supposed to be open to the public, because they are held in a public building and the public is supposed to be allowed to voice their concerns about crime in their neighborhoods, which is exactly what I did at the appropriate time in the appropriate place in the most appropriate and professional way I knew and with repeated advanced notice and direction discussed between the president of the organization and me in person even a month in advance. I now feel unwelcome to attend the public Crime Watch meetings because my good deed was twisted by the president of the organization into an excuse to penalize the public's Constitutionally-recognized right to freedom of expression in a civil manner in a public and relevant setting. I feel like my right and the rights of my neighbors are being violated by means of pre-screening and prohibitively censoring our future comments. The implication is that for doing my best to inspire and encourage and support my fellow residents, I am to blame for this unjust and unconstitutional penalty against the public. Perhaps the president of the [location] Crime Watch may be persuaded to pursue a different path: a path of encouragement rather than of reproach. I strongly recommend that if there will be censorship, meetings instead be held privately in a private building, and that the [location] Crime Watch organization chapter rely exclusively upon private funding. If the president of [location] Crime Watch decides to, in word and in practice, continue to welcome all residents of [location] to attend its public meetings, myself included, and allows the public to share its crime-related concerns freely and without censorship, myself included, then it only makes sense that such meetings should continue to be held publicly in a public location and receive public funding for the exceptional service it provides to the public. Although the logical progression of my prepared statement was cut short during the meeting due to time constraints, I was able to provide a final summary thesis: "I believe that as residents, it is our duty to show kindness and compassion in our neighborhoods so that this becomes a light from within us to cast out the darkness of crime... over time. It takes time." Sincerely, [name], resident [location] My mother advised that this is probably a mere reaction on his part, and that I should let the matter go. Hopefully he does not actually censor residents, but if he does, it is his problem and I should not try to control it. Ergo, this letter was never sent and I did not get in touch with him to apologize or try to work it out. In the future, I will use plain and simple words with a logical progression driven to a practical conclusion of hope. The audience is common-folk, not necessarily invested in a focus on dense and brilliant and intelligent wisdom as Jesus Christ used, but needs to immediately relate to what I say in a way they can immediately sees applies to them, also as Jesus Christ used simultaneously. Jesus Christ's words are simple and his message is easy to understand for anyone who he allows to understand. See, he speaks in a way that we can understand simply, and reveals to us brilliance of his good and wise pleasure to an extent, and even beyond, what we have shown we are willing to understand, and have a capacity to understand. "No one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "They will all be taught by God." Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ who God sent. Depth of understanding must be merely shallow in order to live forever; eternal life is easily accessible because of what Jesus Christ has done at God's Command -- he laid down his life and took it up again. Whoever believes in him has eternal life. But while we live on Earth, God and Jesus Christ teaches us so that we can work to obey him and invest in the reason he came: "I have come so that they may have life to the fullest." And we continue to live, uninterrupted, even as our bodies become painfully deceased. "Your brother will rise again. I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" And he gave anecdotes showing that we continue to learn from him during the afterlife, whether we are horribly tormented in Hell [parable of the rich man and Lazarus] or in his Peace in Heaven [parable of the prodigal son]. For no one can escape God, though they seek to do so in the clutches of death. Do not waste your soul on idolatry, but pursue with wild abandon God's compassion through his Son Jesus Christ. You see, advice is not control, it is direction. And Jesus Christ directs us to our Heavenly Father, the Sovereign Lord God Almighty who holds each of us in his Son (his living Hand, Life Himself) because he is the only one who is Good. "The Father is in me and I am in the Father... This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well pleased; listen to him... Come to me... I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness... After I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself... Come, you who are blessed by my Father..." Isn't God so welcoming? -- If you consider good things to be bad, then you have misunderstood. If you consider bad things to be good, then you have misunderstood. There is too much self-evident wisdom for a person to record, but by doing wrong, he is thoroughly proven to be foolish by not recognizing it and adhering to it. I can speak to people in pagan terms with great wisdom and be greatly praised by men, and I can exhort them to greatness by terms they can understand and bring them to realize that God's words are best for them, but a stubborn heart refuses correction: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." -- Dear Mr. President: The opportunity to present a statement at the [date] public [location] Crime Watch meeting was an unusually special honor and privilege. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the experience it was for me to prepare day and night, working out dozens of revisions and testing drafts for several approaches, over a month of focused work constantly searching for the right words, to present the most encouraging and inspirational speech I could muster. Unfortunately, as I suspect you already know, my final presentation, which I continued to revise even during the meeting to tailor to the meeting's context, failed to adequately convey the most appreciable aspect of my message. I feel that I may have caused confusion and even offended the Crime Watch institution. This was definitely not my intention. For the sake of clear communication, I apologize for any offense or disrespect I showed, and please allow me to explain in this e-mail my real vision and hope. In all my actions and ways, I am a person who sees the expressed desires and needs of people and works with unbelievable investment and dedication to help fulfill their dreams. That is simply what I do, and almost always bearing all expenses without compensation. I believe that headway in progress is made by helping others, to make them happy, and I am a young man dedicated to achieving success for others. To me, complete and utter failure is a minor setback indicating probable necessity for a change in approach. I never give up. This is who I am. I attended three of our Crime Watch meetings and saw a consistent need, a desire: crime was bad and needed to be ended. When we first met and spoke briefly, I had in mind a path of courage and hope and I perceived only a constant and depressing defensiveness and fear towards the subject of crime in the public discussions. I tried to express to you my thoughts that a simple shift in perspective could help: at the time I was unclear, and I sincerely apologize for my poor communication skills, but what I was trying to say is that it would benefit us to match each oppressive crime situation discussed with some related proactive and encouraging suggestions of crime prevention for which the Crime Watch organization has been so attractive and highly regarded. It helps for us to be actively engaged with direction and purpose at every turn so that we do not feel defeated by oppressive crime. I gave much consideration to this desire we all share, the permanent elimination of crime. I determined that this entire matter was essentially the conflict between good and evil -- it is not the crime that we fear, but the evil malice behind it which destroys lives. I determined that the only way to successfully stem and counter evil, to permanently eliminate it, would be for all of us to conscientiously practice the best goodness we could: kindness, compassion, justice, truth -- all these things that make communities great and neighborhoods successful. I attempted to present a logical and reasonable statement where this message might be conveyed, but I am afraid that I botched it despite my best efforts. I believe that over time, crime can be ended through a consistent growth of interpersonal compassion. This approach has historically made great progress within other communities and civilizations. For example, through Catholicism, interpersonal compassion was responsible for the invention of hospitals, public schools, and similar organizations whose services we rely upon and take for granted in our own communities every day. But like all good things, compassion must be initiated through reason, grown through creativity, and maintained through practical adherence in order to reach success and continue to succeed for generations to come. Crime indicates a kind of general social failure to maintain kindness; a hole in the social fabric of love, so to speak. As I wrote in one of my earlier revisions, our kindness can inspire kindness in others. This is helpful, but insufficient. I believe that there is a reason why mankind has been essentially unsuccessful in his pursuit of local peace -- much less world peace -- all throughout human history: as flawed human beings who make mistakes, we simply cannot attain and hold perfection on our own. Today we are close to a stable situation, but the burden of prisons is merely a bandage to stop the bleeding, not a cure; in this metaphor, we are no longer in critical condition, but our constant state of hospitalization and repeated bleeding is dangerously wearing down our health. Permanent success lasting for generations to come requires nothing less than divine intervention to guide us and help us along our way. In my mind, and I hope that I am not confusing the matter, I rationalize hope in this way, and this is why I never give up: because God is absolutely good, potential improvement of everything else is infinite. This also axiomatically means that evil is unnecessary; it is not a balance to good, but it is simply a waste, and simply wrong. It can be, and will be, permanently eliminated when the time is right. This is why I said in my statement at the previous meeting that we can and will succeed against crime; one way or another, the days of crime everywhere are numbered. [state] is a leader among the states, and it is my sincerest privilege to be a new resident among such great people and to invest in their success, even as I was a highly awarded leader in [former state of residence]. I might not be able to reside here much longer, but I wish that while I have life and breath here, I might at least assist in bringing to fruition through word and deed the greatest hopes and dreams of this esteemed Crime Watch organization and my neighborhood which it serves. If we succeed in this historic goal, Crime Watch and [state] will become a light for our nation and a symbol of hope for world peace. My use of abstract words like "compassion" and "good" and "evil" and "peace" can seem overwhelming and potentially confusing, but the premise is simple: there are not only practical countermeasures and responses to crime, but literal preventions, causing a person to never even pursue criminal actions in the first place. This is the matter I address. We can proactively prevent crime basically through proving to the general populace that crime is not a viable solution to any given problem because good compassion is available to them instead to help them meet their natural human needs. For a general example, when they have a problem with money, they can get help from their compassionate society instead of robbing a store. In every specific situation, compassion is the necessary ingredient to effectively prevent crime so that crime is never even considered as an option. This is what makes the adherence to the practice of kindness and compassion so powerful and effective: it eliminates the tempting attraction of crime and provides the proper discipline for children to grow up into good citizens who have every reason to not engage in crime, thus continuing the cycle of peace for each generation. (You see, even in our laws it is agreed that force should never be the default treatment towards a human being, yet in our cultural perceptions nowadays we suddenly expect the right to throw away all human decency in word and deed towards a person the instant we can call them a criminal... or a criminal suspect... then what's next, just someone against whom we hold a grudge? [The necessity of this approach of compassion rather than force by default is why God has said, "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit."].) All people of every age can participate in this work, in many different creative ways; wisdom and experience can be shared as advice to guide us to the best and most effective approaches in any social situation -- we must educate ourselves and each other to become kinder and more compassionate people. And it is in fact fundamental to society: as Goethe said, "Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together." Without keeping as a goal the perfect adherence to consideration and gentle kindness and utilizing kindness where it is needed to prevent potential crime, we are like a torn sieve letting crime penetrate the integrity of our neighborhoods in various places to collectively wear us down as it does today. The people involved where crime occurs could have diffused and counseled with kindness and compassion that person who obviously needed kindness and understanding and possibly some other kind of help with their burden, but because they were not shown kindness and compassion and help, that person committed a criminal act or became a habitual offender. Such happens all the time; it is too common a cause of crime to dismiss our negligence to being loving people to each other. There are other skills such as effectively communicating which we can each learn as we see is necessary for us. But without any interpersonal compassion as the foundation of our society, we devolve into angry and spiteful people and let crime destroy us. Basically, if we no longer adhere to righteousness, we become wicked and destroy ourselves, as obviously demonstrated many times throughout human history. We must never become a depraved people. By opening public discussion for practical measures of interventional kindness relevant to any given crime concern, Crime Watch can help keep us on the right track before we become so psychologically and socially worn down by crime that all seems hopelessly lost. Thank you so much for your hard work in helping us secure our neighborhoods; Crime Watch provides an invaluable setting for publicly sharing advice for practical countermeasures against crime. I wish you and this organization the greatest success possible. Please know that I understand if it is determined that my communication offense prohibits my further involvement with your organization. If I am welcome to continue participating in the public sessions, please understand that I will relentlessly pursue the permanent elimination of crime and would be delighted if the Crime Watch public assembly joined me in this vision through sharing their valuable ideas and wise experience so that together we can not only prevent crime in our neighborhoods but share ideas for how we today can work towards its permanent end. We are all on the same side, and we all live in the same neighborhoods, after all. If Crime Watch is not the appropriate venue for pursuing the permanent elimination of crime through peaceful public strategies and action, then I am ready to continue serving the bringing about of our collective dream of secure and peaceful neighborhoods elsewhere and by other means, with its blessing. I very much appreciate and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter; I know I mention God a lot, but I assure you that I am definitely still a struggling, red-blooded human being with plenty of room for improvement, so your constructive criticism and guidance is definitely welcomed. Thank you so much for your consideration, and let's all keep working to realize our hope for a better future and safer neighborhoods! Your dedicated work has achieved many great, yet undisclosed, successes in improving people's lives; kudos! Sincerely, [name] [location] -- The United States is a sapling watered by God's Word, but it is rejecting the sunlight and water and nutrients in the soil. The United States is just under 242 years old. That is only two lifetimes; that is like nothing. Look at the other countries and people in the world who have been around for thousands of years. They have weathered storms and built up their foundation and walls securely. It would be unwise to arrogantly think our tiny sapling is immune to those storms and cannot be uprooted. Many civilizations have been destroyed, and many saplings and trees have been cut down. The Israelites were once a righteous people but began to worship pagan gods and murder their children as blood sacrifices and commit all these horrible crimes against God and their fellow man. God told them to stop, to pay attention to his guidance and listen and for several generations he warned them of impending disaster if they refused to change their hearts, but they treated God's messengers shamefully and murdered them. God was nice, promising success upon correction, and told only the truth. That nation rejected God and thus when the storm God said was coming finally arrived, they were annihilated in exact detail of the most horrifyingly brutal ways of which God had patiently and consistently forewarned them, which they arrogantly completely disregarded. The nations in the world that have solidified their foundations did so out of proactive wisdom, not after the storm had already ruined it. Those who wait until the storm comes are hit suddenly and suffer damage so severe that those who are left alive have the serious burden of rebuilding. And if they rebuild again without a proper foundation, major storms will happen again, and worse than the last time. If we learn from the foolish mistakes of our elders and of weathered civilizations, and of the civilizations completely destroyed by crime against God and man, we will be secure. Consider this: if a person warns of disaster and the people do not listen, and disaster comes, they will suffer catastrophe; if a person warns of disaster and the people listen, and the disaster does not come, they will have fortified themselves against such disaster so that when it does come without warning, they will not suffer catastrophe. So it is prudent and wise to listen to God both in times of calm and in times of storm, as it is prudent to habitually lock our doors even when there are no criminals in sight. Crime Watch is an organization designed to help citizens take proactive measures against crime; it already welcomes and shares wisdom. Some of our neighborhoods are newly-planted saplings among the neighborhoods, as we as a country are a newly-planted sapling among the nations. If we are to continue unscathed by crime as a neighborhood and as a nation, we must learn from the mistakes of older neighborhoods and nations. Otherwise, we will be ashamed by foolishly repeating their mistakes and not considering their experience to gain wisdom for solid foundation. "Whoever hears my words and puts them into practice is like a man who dug down deep and built his house upon a foundation of solid rock. The storms came and the winds blew and the waters rose against that house, but it did not collapse because it was well-built. Whoever hears my words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house and immediately it collapsed, and great was its destruction." (Luke 6:48). Our own wisdom can only take us so far and protect us so much; we need to be completely open to wisdom from every source if we are to be firmly protected. Crime Watch is one such source. Our own experiences are another source. The history of other civilizations is yet another source... In the grand scheme of things, if we as a nation ignore wisdom or practice selective hearing towards wisdom (like a child ignoring their parents but listening to a schoolteacher), then even though some of our neighborhoods are firmly built, the entire nation, neighborhoods and all, will be swept away as variegated houses on a mudslide, because we did not insist upon complete integrity at every level. In times of testing, we are only as secure as our weakest link. Patch the tiny ignored holes in the roof before the entire house is flooded. Reinforce against and repair crimes with compassion before the entire ceiling collapses from damage over time. All this crime in our past, present and future is not being properly treated and cured and is therefore like death by a thousand cuts. "If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river..." Wisdom merely directs, it does not control. An intelligent and wise people are only proven correct if they actually put that intelligence and wisdom into effective practice. Then all the people around them say to themselves, "Look how smart they were and how they did not take damage during the storm, but flourished instead. How did this happen? We want to be like them. They rapidly grow; and look how they avoided repeating all mistakes. How blessed they are!" Each person pursues what they think is best for themselves, their families, and their communities. I am not trying to control Crime Watch or usurp its purpose; I merely have seen that as a tender plant wilting from stress, it could use some encouraging water and steady sunshine. I mean to inspire hope, because I see what great work the Crime Watch institution does and want to support it with all my heart. I am a mere individual; please let me know if there are methods of support welcomed by your institution that are superior to, or supplementary to, simply writing and speaking. I sincerely believe that with good direction and hard work, [county] as a whole can succeed in its dream to be free of crime. And if you want me to go away, then I will take my marbles and go home. -- by Michael W.

And they call me autistic to indicate that they cannot understand or relate to what I am saying, so then why do they not try to relate to what I am saying so that they can understand in their hearts? My words are too powerful for them. Your words are too powerful for them, you put them in my mouth and cleaned me and washed my feet, but it is as if everyone sees my feet as dirty. They don't want to know, and they want to make up their own life stories so that when they are old they can pretend to be wise in years and experience and tell all the younger children what to do. But if a person disregards your discipline, aren't they proven to be hypocrites by claiming to have the right experiences to administer discipline to others? Or do they just expect to live long enough walking foolish paths to at some unspecified time in their elderly and weakened minds and hearts finally come to know who you are, as if by osmosis? Because by that old age, if you ever even let them reach it, their lives would be over and completely wasted; for your wisdom guides man through his entire life to obey you and do good that you specify for the best possible outcome according to your will, and by ignoring you for their entire lives, if they ever do come to acknowledge your majesty, they will see their entire lives of selfish arrogance were like dead branches that need to be cut off their tree, so that they can finally start growing. But then what time do they have left to grow? They will die immaturely, as infants in understanding, but they will have no mother to grieve for them, for all their lives have already been demanded from them. And if I do not speak when you tell me to speak, or if I do not share your wisdom with them, which they don't want anyway, but if I do not share it to help guide them, am I not guilty as you instructed your prophets? But they are like the pigs and dogs you said to leave alone and to whom fine pearls should not be shared. It is as a bad investment, tragic. When the time is right, you will soften their hearts as one stabs the ground with a shovel, for your words cut to the heart of man and the matter at hand and shine as a light for all to follow to lead the assembly through the caverns of darkness in which they dwell, to help them find the healthy sunlight of day in which you so graciously desire for them to live. But saying a word to them is like a crime. For all your words are wisdom, and I have only accepted what you feed me, most brilliant one, most countenance of most majesty. I keep in mind that although they speak in words that imply they desire to understand, it is your role to allow them to understand, and my role to speak once, or twice, or three times at most. If I speak more, even though it is your words, sovereign master, they will hate me as their parents hated you. But when a person listens to you, I am not needed, because they have you. "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the servant to be like his master and the messenger to be like his sender. If they hated me, they will hate you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because they have not known my Father or me." Great is the Lord. And so I write these words to you, most wonderful, and I don't care if anyone else reads them as if over my shoulder. And I don't care if anyone else believes in you on your footstool, because we will all be kneeling before you at your throne before long. And then we shall see what each has done to please you. And now I have all this money, but where do I spend it? To whom should I give it? The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. So I will invest your words in myself and my heart and ignore the fools of this Earth. They practice how to speak cordially to their neighbors, but in their hearts they accept only hatred and anger and confusion, and in their confusion, instead of taking it as a cue to gain understanding, they mock wisdom -- how can they love you if they so refuse wisdom? How can they know you if they do not love you? Don't you hide yourself from your enemies? May your most revered and resplendent name be praised forever, dearest and most wonderful Sovereign King of Glory and Truth, Jesus Christ, Master and Redeemer, most patient author of freedom and life. Be my Father. Be my Mother. Be my Family. Be my Friends, all of them! I have none of these except for you, so take these roles if it is acceptable to you, and please pardon my impertinence. You gave me life and made man to help me but I am not one of them and they reject me. But you accept me and hide me in your white clothes so they cannot see me or touch me. And you use me for your purposes, the highest honor is service to you. You defend my life and feed me and guide me. You are my parents -- you made parents in your image. May your name be praised forever, Jesus Christ in Heaven and Heavenly Father who is within you. But to men, I am a fool, a blind minstrel singing esoteric songs. That then is their lot. Folly and blindness and wailing is theirs. No wonder they don't want your majesty: It makes them look bad! Your words make them actually see how covered in dirt they are, as a parent brings their child into a bathtub and sprays clean water on them to wash away the filth that has clung to them. They can see this mud washing off of them, so why do they want to put it back on or roll around in the disgusting dirt again? "As a dog returns to its vomit, so do my people return to their sinful, wicked ways." Cruelty has no place before you. You will cast it aside and wash the whole world; "...for the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Goodness is refreshing, and you alone are good. Man can merely try to accept, remember, and adhere to your guidance, and in Jesus Christ your son, know you. You have spoken in brilliance. You have spoken through me. I have spoken in feeble words. I could speak to them in simple words they could understand with little thought, but it is really your words we all need and which will endure forever and which give us real life at the time we accept them throughout forever. There is no better way to say something than how you have said it, greatest Majesty, Ancient of Days, dearest and most wonderful Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. And you graciously gave us your Spirit of Truth. But what am I supposed to do when people reject what you say? I can't make them understand, and repetition or insistence just makes them sin more. Sin is a path, and until they understand to turn around and face you instead -- which requires knowing where you are and what you look like -- then all they can do with each action is continue to move further in the wrong direction, away from you. Jesus Christ, your most revered son, has placed his hand on our shoulders and gently turn us around to face you and see you and walk towards you throughout our lifetimes and forevermore because as soon as we saw you, we loved that you alone are good, and we loved you because we belonged to you and you are Most Jealous. Jesus Christ, you give me great joy, real joy, not fake pleasure. Thank you for accepting my heart in your Hand. You will be praised! "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." "The true worshipers will worship God in Spirit and in Truth, because those are the worshipers your Father seeks; God is Spirit and those who worship him must do so in Spirit and in Truth." But now I skip words, I rephrase words, and it is all men can do but to harshly criticize me. "But God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." -- "And glory has come to me through them." God's glory goes through his creatures and back to himself. "Glory to God in the highest and peace to those upon whom his favor rests!" "God is worthy of glory" means "God is worthy to receive his glory back to himself through all his creatures." So praise God in Spirit and Truth, which means through Jesus Christ who is his glory. "But a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." God is the God of the living, not of the dead. Didn't Jesus Christ explain this to us all? Why don't we just listen to him? -- Dear [parent], I must be ready for service, but this assembly does not love me, so I will speak elsewhere, as you have indicated by citing casting the net on the other side of the boat. Perhaps more loving people, or people who are open to love for God, would more readily accept wisdom from God. But all these can do is be afraid and judge, as they do with criminals. So in their dogmatic bipolar familiarity I was classified as not on their side, because I said something they did not understand. What a discouraging approach to thinking, and I wonder how they ever survive new experiences. Anyway, my role among them has ended, and they are not supreme nor is a disparaging and wrong perspective appropriate for determined work to serve justice and hope. So there is no place for me there. My speaking to them was a mere test anyway, to see if the environment was suitable for progress. I saw their hint of an implied dream to live without crime, and God spoke to them through me, but he is the one who would do the hard work of changing their hearts to reject despair and serve peace. These are retired people, after all, and they have lived their lives and essentially want to be left alone... in whatever peace they already have. Why bother them with new ideas? Most of them already have their own children and grandchildren to do just that. And so why would they listen to some random stranger who uses big words and dense logic they are too tired to think about? It's just not the time nor the place for what I have to offer, and I am not the right being to offer it. The messenger is not the one who sent them; I fulfilled my obligation to help them. And what happened was the best that could have happened, both in what God said through me and how he made things proceed. There is more work to be done elsewhere. It is God who is patient with our hearts. Thank you for your help. Love, [name] -- Both times, when Jesus fed several thousand people with a small amount of food, afterwards, he dismissed them and crossed over water, so they could ponder what he had done, how man does not live upon bread alone but upon every word that comes from him, and how his words are enough for our lives. -- Daniel 10:12 Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. -- Only while doing what they are supposed to do as God commanded and demonstrated through Jesus Christ will a people be able to continue to do great things. Success is built upon obeying Jesus Christ's words. Practicing God's Commands is the only foundation for success. "This is my command: love each other as I have loved you." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." -- Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at 11:43:56 AM "See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the Sovereign Lord Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished. The arrogant one will stumble and fall and no one will help her up; I will kindle a fire in her towns that will consume all who are around her." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to let them go. Yet their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon." (Jeremiah 50:31-34.) -- "I give you my peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid." By believing in Jesus Christ, you have eternal life. And no one can take that away from you. You can no longer die, because you have crossed over from death to life. -- ..."I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But have courage! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33.) -- If someone asks you what should or should not be done, simply say one of two things: "God judges each person according to what their deeds deserve." "Why don't you judge for yourself what is right?" If you tell someone what they should do, and you are incorrect, they will fault you. If you tell someone what they should do, and you are right, and they do not want to listen, it will fault them in several ways. If you tell someone what they should do, and you are right, and they do listen, then they have benefitted. But arrogance and narcissism spreads like a plague, and it is more prudent to simply use suggestion to make someone believe that they came up with an idea themselves. And if a person comes up with a right idea in this situation, then it credits them for what they brought out of their heart. But if a person does not come up with the right idea, then at least they will have no motivation to hate you, because they are more self-absorbed in their belief that their lives are all about what they can do. So since people are so concerned about what they can do, merely nudge them in the right direction, and let them open the door to understanding on their own, so that it is as if God had revealed it to them rather than you have revealed it to them. For when people are nudged to think on their own, they are taught to think, and all wisdom comes from God and Jesus Christ. And if a person is incorrect in any matter, they will find out one way or another, but God disciplines his own people because he loves them. So let people make mistakes and learn how to judge for themselves what is right. You can nudge them in the correct direction by saying something like, "What have been the results of doing such things in the past?" -- The Most Revered Holy Spirit appeared to me in a dream today, as I was sleeping. And he comforted me and gave me peace. The dream fades from my memory, but he assured me that he has made it recorded. He told me that this [story] has a happy ending, and I thanked God for doing this. God healed my heart with his love. "I have loved you with an everlasting love..." And the Most Revered Holy Spirit helped me and protected me from abuse; he made his razor blade clean off the dead skin of those around me [to circumcise their hearts]. One lady asked me what had happened. I told the assembly of people there that I was finally happy and at peace. And as I excused myself to clean off my razor blade, I said to her that "I hope you also have happiness and peace. I really do. Not to prove anything, but because it is good." This was a meeting with the Holy Spirit, the Counselor... And this is exciting and does not happen often for me. [The razor blade was of course symbolic for his words.] The physical surroundings were geared to me and what I could understand; these were symbolic, but the importance of what happened was in what was said. These were the important parts: he comforted me and gave me peace he assured me that he has made it recorded this [story] has a happy ending healed my heart "I have loved you with an everlasting love..." helped me and protected me clean I was finally happy and at peace -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/praise.mp3 -- In 1 John it is written "God is love". And he says that while saying that demons fear love. Firstly, think not of demons and evil, but only of God and Jesus Christ. Secondly, God is not love. The writings in the New Testament are assertions but they are written in terms more metaphorical and cryptic than Jesus Christ spoke even in parables. Listen to Jesus Christ. He told us to fear God. Does a person fear love? Love is an emotion; God is not an emotion. But I will say only this regarding the matter because people are more inclined to believe something if it comes from themselves than from another person; but can a person perceive folly and narcissism in themselves? I could explain and elaborate and clarify what the disciples meant by what they said, but if you had listened to Jesus Christ, you would already understand the actual meaning of their words, because they were never meant to replace Jesus Christ. So why do churches ignore Jesus Christ and focus only on the slippery meanings of the letters that come after the Gospel? "You are not to be called 'Teacher', because you have only one teacher, the Christ. And you are all brothers." "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the messenger to be like the one who sent him, and for the servant to be like his master." -- Why travel a road without knowing the ending? -- I have almost completed a massive undertaking that has already taken about a decade of work, all by myself. And it is nothing of any consequence. So I have said to the Lord, "Lord, you have helped me with this." And the Lord said to me, "Thus will you know that the Lord is Lord of the Universe." -- It's going to all be OK. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." Them: That doesn't make any sense Me: Did you understand it yet? Them: No It's meaningless word soup Me: Are you familiar with the context in which it was said? Them: No and I don't think it's relevant Me: OK so if you knew the context, you might see how it is relevant to everyone; because the context is persistent with everyone, because everyone is weak and has difficulties, pain, struggle, and problems in their lifetime. But Jesus Christ gives his grace (mercy) which is the gift of eternal life, and this mercy is real power which is stronger than our mortality and lasts beyond it; the power of eternal life (God's power) appears as pure to us when we no longer rely upon the weakness of our mortality. And our perception changes. Them: Okay Me: So instead of focusing on our pain and our problems and our struggles (our weakness), we see instead that his power (eternal life that he gave us) is stronger than all our suffering and sustains us forever. Thus, "my grace/mercy is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness". Them: Right -- God's words are practical and useful and helpful both in daily life on Earth and eternal life. -- God is willing to help you with everything; for God loves you so much and is so Almighty that he helps even with insignificant matters. There is nothing too insignificant for God's help. To ask God for help with everything leads to trusting in God and that leads to understanding. Jesus Christ is always with you, watching and guiding patiently, and all his work deserves reverence of his name -- his name is "God Saves". And when in all considerations you receive the good things you requested, you will know that the Lord is Lord of the Universe. -- Would you like to hear what God taught me this morning? -- No one asks me to hear what God teaches me, but I share anyway because it will do good for them. Is this OK? -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/is_wisdom_always_appropriate_philosophy_stack_exchange.pdf -- Them: FEBRUARY 2018 MONTH PROMISE:: *[[Jeremiah 30:17]]* For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man cares for . In this new month , God is wiping out your broken past by Healing you of Past Wounds. He is giving you new name. You might had called yourself or been called by others Rejected. But now you will be called Accepted You might had felt uncared and not loved.But now you will Realise, you are the one whom God loves and cares for. Amen in Jesus name. Me: Today this was fulfilled in my sight. I looked at Jesus on the Cross and as his blood fell, it wrote on the ground "I love you". Are you 301 Moved Permanently? https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/are_you_301_moved_permanently.png -- The Lord said to me, "Get up", so I got up. I knew what he meant, so I sat up. He laughed because I knew what he meant and said, "Get out of bed". So I got out of bed; there was no other path for me to take. He said, "What do you hear?" So I went and listened. It was night and quiet out. I told him "nothing..." and I walked forward toward the door. I heard and saw, and he wanted to draw my attention to it, so I reported to him all that I heard: the wind, the hearts of animals beating, the lives of people as they slept... "...you know," I said. Then he had me look closer in my heart and I said, "What do I hear? I hear people calling out for help." And I thought about how I might say this conversation to others. I went to the bathroom and used the toilet and he said, "Get up when you're finished." When I was finished and rose from the seat, I walked back to the bedroom and put my Bible back down because I had carried it with me, for I saw in my mind the Lord sitting in the seat of the house reading it. So he said to me, "Did I tell you to go back into your room?" I said, "no". I was cold, so I put on my jacket that was sitting there. And the Lord had mercy towards me. So I went to sit near the seat of the house and closed my eyes and listened and reported all the voices I heard. At one point, I said to him, "I think I hear evil spirits." He had me also report what I saw and what I felt. And the Spirit who stood before him on my behalf said to the Lord, "What should I do about all this?" He made me think of trust and told me "practice this". So the Lord wants me to practice trust in him, to prepare me for the trials ahead. -- I figured out what the "abomination that causes desolation" is. "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." If you want to obey God, listen to Jesus Christ while you still can. Do not fear extortion or blackmail. "So do not be afraid of them. Everything concealed will be revealed and everything hidden will be disclosed. What is whispered into your ear proclaim from the rooftops. What I tell you in the dark speak in the daylight." "Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. The moth will eat [their treasure] up like a garment and the worm will devour them like wool, but my salvation will endure for all generations. My righteousness will never end." "If anyone would come after me, they must lay down their life and take up their cross and follow me..." You gain nothing until you gain eternal life; "and this is eternal life: that they would know you the only true God and Jesus Christ who you sent". -- Them: How does God communicate with you? Do you hear voices? Me: "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says." "My sheep recognize my voice; but they will run away from a stranger because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." His voice is in his words. And his Most Revered Holy Spirit is in all those who know him. God exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because he delights in these things. Them: But how do you receive His messages? Do you hear them? Me: But man exercises selfishness and evil arrogance and has never heard his voice because they do not believe in the one he sent. Them: Or what? Me: It's not a system or a method that you can analyze. When you know Jesus Christ -- "when you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know whether I speak on my own or whether I speak what the Father says. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves. But whoever speaks for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth, in whom there is nothing false." You have to listen to understand -- and you have to believe to truly begin the path of education. "The Spirit gives life. The flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe; this is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." You can't know Jesus Christ without listening to him and understanding what he says. Then you will know his voice through his words, if you humble yourself and become like a child. "I tell you the truth, unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven." "My Father's will is that whoever comes to me, I will never turn away, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will have eternal life and not perish -- I will raise them up during the Last Day." And he said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." "I tell you the truth, whoever looks to the Son of Man and believes the one who sent him will never see death." With his words in you, and your knowledge of him, he will sustain you, because as he said, "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "Just as the Father raises the dead and has life in himself, so he has made the Son have life in himself and give life to whomever he is pleased to give it." "Because I live, you also will live." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and will not die." As he explained: when a person believes in Jesus Christ and God within him, that person has crossed over from death to life, and when their body dies, they continue to live forever. And each person will be judged according to what they have done. Accepting Jesus Christ means accepting God's living word, which means "if you want to live, obey the Commandments" but more definitively because of your relationship with God: Jesus Christ is your intercessor and guides you along your way, to keep you away from sin and death. "Unless you repent, you also will perish," he said to his disciples. Knowledge, obedience, understanding, lead to trust and faith, leads to real understanding and gives eternal life. I have his words in me, so I recognize his voice. He speaks to my heart, and in my mind, and however he chooses at any given point. It is a path of learning from the Teacher. He has led me to truly know and keep the fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. If you want to hear his voice, you must know his words first! Them: Yes but how do you receive this wisdom? Me: If you seek wisdom from him, then you will find it in his words, and then in time you will also understand. Them: What does His voice sound like? Me: He is a real living being; he is not an idea. Why not speak to him in prayer? -- It is always good to do good things. It is always good to say good things. It is always good to do what is right according to God who alone is good. Read and understand what he has said and done, and you will know him, and "my Father and I will make our home with [you]". Therefore, because God is Almighty and sees and knows all, and is greater than all, trust in his goodness and do not fear evil that disrespects him. God will be with you; the Lord takes care of all his own, wherever they are. "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both the body and the soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Don't men sell birds for a few dollars? Although they put such little value on their lives, not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. You are much more valuable than birds; so do not be afraid, because even every hair on your head is numbered." See, it is logical to know God and to trust God, and it is for your good, not for your harm. "The Spirit gives life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." But he raised the dead and cured the sick and afflicted, even though he himself was afflicted and suffered on behalf of mankind. So it is good to take care of one's health and to be kind to each other. In that regard, I have a few suggestions to stay healthy and avoid illness: - Drink a glass of clean water every other hour [unless you have a medical condition otherwise]. - Head to sleep in a dark, comfortable room, at 8 PM (20:00) at the latest each night. - Begin your routine waking tasks at about 7 AM (7:00) each day. "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." -- Benjamin Franklin This routine should be prioritized in scheduled plans, if possible. So keep to that schedule in general. "Let whoever does good continue to do good." -- [an angel speaking from the Lord] Persevere and "have courage, for I have overcome the world". "I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But have courage, because I have overcome the world." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, because my guidance is easy and my workload is light." "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." I wish you all safety, good health, and a life of increasing joy and understanding! "Good teacher, what good thing must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good, and ask what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "Which ones?" "Do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself." It is enough to obey God. "What is the work that God requires of us?" "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Learn from Jesus Christ's words while they are still accessible to you, and know him while you can still recognize his voice. It is easy, it is not difficult. And by doing so, you will gain true happiness and his strength will be in you to sustain you by himself now through forever. Each person is busy with tasks and goals. "My Father is always working, and I am also working." "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." ...So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7&version=NIV So if we want good things among us, we must do good things for all those around us. God alone is good, and Jesus Christ is the source of purity. Here is some more required reading for the foundation of this community: Matthew 12 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12&version=NIV Note "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand." You remember how it was with [former] Forum and other web sites, with the in-fighting and disrespect and arguments, the teasing and the nonsense, and look how it suffered. Learn from the mistakes of the past, and do what is right. Judge for yourselves what is right. There is a time when God's enemies will be punished forever. "If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "If you love me, you will obey my commands. Whoever loves me will obey my commands, and my Father and I will make our home with them to be with them. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands." "Do not my words do good to him whose ways are upright?" "I the Lord do not change. So you, descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you," says the Lord Almighty. [The book of Malachi is one of the shortest books in the Bible, and yet it's one of my favorites, so rich in revelation among the other books in the Old Testament! It's only 4 short chapters and is easy to read because it is conversational.] https://biblehub.com/niv/malachi/1.htm If you do read it, note that when God ordered people to sacrifice animals, it was not to sacrifice them, but to share them as food with each other. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." The food was for others so that the people who did wrong would instead by sharing their precious food show generosity and kindness, which is what God wants. And Jesus Christ, "the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world", is God's living mercy for the whole world, so that whoever believes in him will live forever. "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and then everything else you need will also be given to you [by God]." -- For kindness, for love, for encouragement, for justice, for happiness, for peace. For God, for good, for joy, for you. -- Each person is busy with tasks and goals. "My Father is always working, and I am also working." "After I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." -- Rejection itself is not bad, but a person must reject the wrong and choose the right. But if they become bad, won't others who do what is right reject them? But Righteousness himself was "numbered among the transgressors" and "did not come to condemn the world but to save it through himself," because "it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick". Sin and evil is a burden: "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin..." and we must reject all that causes sin. And those who are weary and burdened must bring their hearts to Jesus Christ in prayer so that he will heal them. He draws all people to himself and helps those who do not yet know him, so that they will know him and love and revere him. "Whoever has been forgiven much loves much..." Whoever learns from him must also learn that his workload is light. But some of these false prophets treat his words like a heavy burden, because they want to honor themselves instead of him. But they are not necessary. It is enough to obey God. And one learns who God is by listening to him through his only Son -- and now through the record of his words. "I tell you the truth, you will not see me again until you say 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." Truly, if anyone has a problem that they cannot handle, Jesus Christ is there waiting to help them, if they want to get better. "What is impossible with man is possible with God." "Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test." "I will give you whatever you ask for in my name [God's Salvation] so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. Ask and you will receive, and you will have real joy. So whatever you ask for, believe that you have received it, because it will be yours. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf; instead, my Father will love you because you believed in God's only son." -- Matthew 23:1-14 Why do people ask for explanations or elaborations upon Jesus Christ's words? He spoke clearly, "and no one can fathom his understanding". Some people are selfish and in their hearts think it is all about them. Some of these people do not honor God in their hearts, and so God prevents them from understanding. And those who are not entering the Kingdom of Heaven to honor and celebrate and revere Jesus Christ, but sneak in by some other way for some other purpose will be tied hand and foot and thrown outside into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. God invites many people, but only those who want to respect his Son will be chosen to gain understanding. -- "I don't want men's rules, I want God's rules." -- me "I want to know God's thoughts, the rest is mere details." -- Albert Einstein It is good to thank God for goodness he has done. -- "I in them, and you in me..." I have Jesus, so all my sins are forgiven. This is what it means to trust in Jesus Christ. -- Jesus Christ's words -- God's words -- are like a healthy diet: low in quantity, but rich in nutrients. -- Dearest, Most Merciful, Most Kind, Most Compassionate, Most Loving, Most Wonderful, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, You see how I am treated because of you. Can I do something good for your reputation before you demand my life back from me? I would rather not say anything. Where is the love? Does a blade of grass deserve to be loved? Let them accuse me. I do not care. And let me feebly defend myself and bring shame and dishonor upon my own head. I do not care about this. Even if I do not see your glory or see you return, I am satisfied with all you have done. -- What is reputation? It is like a bird filling themselves with air to make themselves look large among their fellow birds. Among those older than me, my colleagues, I have a reputation, because I am skilled in what I do. They know this, yet some of them choose to make fun of me and badmouth me behind my back, notably to my family members as a passive aggressive maneuver to hurt me, yet they speak cordially to me. These people are frauds. So I have done nothing wrong but gain among some a bad reputation. But the frauds use social manipulation to gain good reputation for themselves, because they love praise from men. But they are frauds and anyone with discernment can see that. But they refuse to step into the light, instead backstabbing indirectly -- hurting my reputation among others and deciding to hurt people who think well of me. So reputation is worthless, and merely a crutch for those who lack desire for independent consideration of one's deeds and words. But Jesus Christ is the Teacher, the Absolute Truth, and his most revered Spirit of Truth is my Counselor forever, as he explained, and guides me into all truth. He will never abandon me and has loved me with an everlasting love. Them: [me] does this make you feel better? Me: When I have forgiven and accepted that I am loved, I feel better. -- Agnus Dei qui tolis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. Miserere! Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace. Have mercy! https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/lamb_of_god_who_takes_away_the_sins_of_the_world_grant_us_peace.mp3 -- There is a greater chance of causing adversity if you retaliate. "Do not resist an evil person." It just escalates into war then because they want to fight. But giving no reason to fight means a better chance that they come to their senses more quickly. -- Them (in response to video): Parents have become "friends" instead of parents. God has been kicked out of the schools and the kids are put on SSRI's. That is what changed. Me: Fear God, not those who disrespect God. -- As members in a community, it is our duty to show kindness and compassion, so that this becomes a light to cast out the darkness of crime. People who are gentle and supportive and genuinely desire to think well of each other and do good things for people will not cause problems; "whoever is forgiven much loves much; whoever is forgiven little loves little" but the reason to do good is more than out of feelings and gratitude, but the perseverance comes from understanding and duty, adherence to God's command as Jesus Christ said, "love each other as I have loved you". "Blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." Don't have hard hearts; don't be cold to each other. "Love your neighbor as if they were you; do to others what you would have them do to you." But Jesus Christ's guidance is easy and his workload is light. Jesus Christ's teaching -- teaching from God -- makes it easy to do what is good and right. It is people who lay burdens upon each other, but Jesus Christ said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, because my guidance is easy and my workload is light." -- I expressed concern about how work will be treated. At that time, Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened..." (Matthew 11:25-30). So I must also entrust my work to God's management. -- Them: YAY CHRISTIANS Praise the lord on this wonderful day Me: When using God's name, there are different meanings in English based upon capitalization. "Lord" does not mean "lord" and "God" does not mean "god". One is a proper noun indicating one being and another is a noun indicating the generic similarity to that one being; "Lord" and "The Lord" and "my Lord", wherever it is capitalized, indicates God and Jesus Christ, whereas "lord" means the dictionary definition of the noun, indicating any other ruler described as a lord. "God" indicates God whereas "god" indicates an individual who is like God. "I have said that you are gods," shows that God wants those he teaches to be like him; "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for a servant to be like his master and a messenger like the one who sent him. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! But don't be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword [division]. ...(further explains)" "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." -- If you go to a place of worship, your intention should be to worship God and Jesus Christ. When you "go to church", it should be to pray to God and Jesus Christ. Do not go to socialize, but be kind to others. Find a place there to pray. God does not want spectacle. Those who encourage raucousness or "stage" themselves to draw attention to themselves have the task to make it obvious that we must focus upon God and Jesus Christ. If they are obviously all about themselves, then do not do what they do. "You have only one Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brothers." "My House will be called a house of prayer for all nations. But you are making it a 'den of robbers'." If anyone forces you to leave or is otherwise unwelcoming of you to pray in that building, then leave and tell your Heavenly Father about it (he already knows and was with you when the adversity occurred), and find another place to pray. You don't need any particular person to hold your hand while you pray; God is All-Powerful and alone is Absolutely Good. He can do everything, and what he does choose to do, he does, and he does it in the best possible way, beyond your imagination's capability to generate. So don't be afraid. God wants to walk with you through troubling times, but "I am the Lord your God. There is no other Savior. I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Throughout history, your people have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me with all your heart, and I will return to you. Test me in this and see if I will not pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all!" ..."On this rock, I will build my church." You who believe in Jesus Christ are the church, not some man-made building or real estate property. And God does not publish CD's or DVD's. Jesus Christ does not need them: "But after I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." "I do not accept praise from men; but I know you -- I know that you do not have love for God in your hearts." So watch out for the people in sheep's clothing who are inwardly ferocious wolves. "By their fruit, you will recognize them. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be pulled up by the roots and thrown into the fire." (...) "Do not be afraid of them, or those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Everything concealed will be revealed, and everything hidden will be made fully-known. But I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after your body is killed, has the power to throw both your body and your soul intact into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him [that being is God]. ...Not even a bird will die apart from your Heavenly Father's will, even though man cares little or nothing about its life. You are much more valuable than birds. Even every hair on your head is counted." -- Me: Y'all criticize me for being "religious". What a joke! Here's the real deal: Matthew 20. For a mere determination to listen to God and do what he commands, you too can have eternal life. Even a full lifetime of obeying God is no comparison to the generous offer of the payment he grants it. For what, maybe 10 years, maybe 100 years, of time on Earth knowing God and obeying Jesus Christ -- and he will be with you the entire time, helping you, walking with you through times of trouble so you learn to trust him -- after that brief lifetime, you get to live forever, an infinite duration, all because you acknowledged that God's way is right. It's honestly a no-brainer. "Why should any living person complain when punished for their sins?" "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words are not my own; they belong to the Father. This is my command: love each other as I have loved you. By this, all men will know that you are my disciples: that you love each other." "Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be pulled up by the roots and thrown into the fire." "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will bear much fruit, and this is for your Father's glory, that you would bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." "If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first. Whoever hates me hates my Father also." "They will do such things, because they have not known the Father or me." "But this is to fulfill what is written in their law: 'they hated me without reason'." -- God can do anything. Worship Jesus Christ. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/go_down_loop.wav -- Me: If we can agree that it is bad to be mean to someone, then you should also be able to understand how it is also bad for someone to be accusing me of being a bad person because of the fact that I believe in God and Jesus Christ. Belief does not make one bad; a bad belief reflects that one does not value what is good. But by believing that it is bad to be mean also aligns your value system with what God and Jesus Christ teaches. So I see that what you truly believe about the difference between right and wrong is congruous with what is. And God and Jesus Christ defines what is. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." So do not pick fights with me, because the Living Truth is always with me, and He is Almighty and Most Revered; we are little to him and must fear and honor him because of who he is -- "there is only one who is good; if you want to enter life, obey the Commandments." Trusting in God and Jesus Christ is the fast track of Justice: "...for my guidance is easy and my burden is light." When you are far away from a physical object, it appears small in your sight. As you move closer to it, it appears larger in your sight. This is how it is with the corporeal, but this is not how it is with God. With binocular vision and experience and consideration, you attempt to determine the actual size of something based upon how large it would be if measuring its dimensions from its center of mass. And thus you would attempt to measure it. This is how it is with the corporeal, but this is not how it is with God. The lack of ability to measure God as one would measure a physical object gives no reason to ignore him. Observe how it is to the contrary: it is rational to give all one's capacity for consideration to one who does what God does and whose understanding is beyond measure. And in consideration of Existence is this also proven to be practical. Therefore, everyone who "hears my words and puts them into practice" has Jesus Christ as their righteousness and salvation. "Wisdom is proven right by all its results." -- May your name be praised forever, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father who is within you. You already said it will happen. -- Before you were born, God was in control. Throughout your lifetime, God will be in control. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, [you] are not destroyed. [For a long time, your people] have disobeyed me and refused to keep my guidance. Return to me, and I will return to you. ..." "Consider for yourself: I do good through my words for people who do what is right in obeying me." -- Why do people ask me my motivations? I want them to have joy and live forever. But what is that to them -- why do they care to know what I want? "They will look upon the one they pierced..." -- Gossip has no place in the decision-making process. Which causes more damage to a person's reputation: hypothetical random gossip, or a deliberate, unjust decision? God will threaten those who threaten wisdom; the consequences of folly will be threatened to fall on the head of everyone who disregards wisdom. "But wisdom is proven right by all its results." Folly is an evil that comes from inside a human's heart, as Jesus Christ the Teacher explained. -- Is God delighted by those who ignore him? "I do not delight in the death of anyone." "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "Be still, and know that I am God. My name will be glorified among the nations. My salvation will endure for all generations. My righteousness will never end." "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me and I will return to you. Bring me your entire heart; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all." Who cares what God wants? -- Many times and recently I have been repeatedly rejected by groups of people and by individuals and by institutions and other psychological bodies because I talk about God and Jesus Christ. They treat God and Jesus Christ as the elephant in the room and they do this because God and Jesus Christ has made me the 800-pound gorilla by his Most Revered Holy Spirit. So like his enemies did to him, they try to trap me with semantics (which they cannot do because I am deliberately created) or accuse me of breaking their fabricated and unjust laws, even as they freely exercise hypocrisy, so they can give their own eyes an excuse to exercise wickedness against the Truth. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me," is what Jesus Christ clearly gave to those he loves. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy: "Trust in God, trust also in me." To test God and Jesus Christ is always unsuitable, except if God actually tells you to do it: "entrust your entire heart to me; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you won't know what to do with it all". "Bring him to me," and then Jesus Christ healed him. Stop looking at death and start realizing that you can know your God through Jesus Christ's words, which are God's words. And his words did not "survive" him, because he is alive and in the flesh and sitting on his throne at God's right hand in Heaven. (Heaven is a real place: "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my Kingdom is from another place.") Do not test God; trust God and Jesus Christ. Obey his Commandments of Life. "I know that his commands lead to eternal life; so everything I say is exactly what the Father tells me to say." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "I know that his command leads to eternal life, so I say only what the Father tells me to say." "The Spirit gives Life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life, but there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will not lose any of all he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day." (concatenated). "...But the world must learn that I love my Father and that I do everything just as he commands me." "I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness. You belong to me." Jesus Christ is the faithful, loving kindness, who speaks from God and said, "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands." Jesus Christ is God's living mouth and hand, who explained, "The Father and I are one." Jesus Christ is God's Living Mercy, Justice, and Righteousness, as he explained through the prophet Jeremiah, "Do not boast of wisdom, strength or riches, but if you boast, boast that you understand and know me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth [not said exclusive of elsewhere], because in these things I delight." "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" "...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." "Whoever hears my words, and believes the one who sent me, has eternal life; and I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- Do you want to see something wonderful from God? "At the renewal of all things..." So at some point, people will be so deceived and confused that they will think that killing someone is a service to God, because, according to their unfounded rationales, then God will exercise more majesty by bringing people back to life. No, every mortal is mortal regardless of when their body is killed. "Do not kill." But it is better to trust that God will cause his Name (Jesus Christ) to be glorified among the nations. "...No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your Name!" "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." "This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time of judgement upon this world, and now will the prince of this world [Satan, The Devil] be driven out. But after I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." "...And I tell you [who believe/think/feel/accept/know/understand/realize that I am the 'Christ, the Son of the Living God', which is what Simon Peter replied to his question] that you are Peter [which means bedrock], and on this rock I will build my church, and the Gates of Hell will not prove stronger than it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven -- whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven." "...Proclaim the Good News to all Creation. Whoever believes and is baptized [with the Holy Spirit] will be kept safe [actively and ultimately; trust him!], and whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. [...] I assure you that I am always with you until the end of the Age [of Heaven and Earth]." Fear is only your imagination (someone told me this when I was younger), but fear properly placed is justified: "wisdom is proven right by all its results". The proper placement of fear is fear of God (fear to obey God). "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after your body dies, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Don't people sell birds for cheap? Yet not even a bird will die apart from your Heavenly Father's permission. Even each hair on your head is counted. So do not be afraid, because you are more valuable than birds." -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/hope.mp3 Jesus Christ is the most courageous person to ever walk on Earth. He knew ahead of time what he would endure, including starvation, physical and psychological abuse, spiritual anxiety, and great suffering and rejection and disappointment. He exercised patience beyond mortal capacity as he led Justice to victory. It is not enough for him to be honored and praised and worshiped. "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go throughout the world and make students of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. I assure you that I am always with you, even until the end of the Age." Not even this is enough. God's love is enough. God's love is greater than all authority and power -- and there is only one Strength. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is pure in weakness." -- There is much more wisdom available to anyone who chooses to do God's will by humbling themselves and listening to Jesus Christ. -- In nine different locations they hated and rejected and insulted and mocked me. Three of those locations I set up and managed for others to escape from their abusiveness. So they followed me around in each location. In the tenth location, I asked Jesus Christ, my Master, "What do you do about injustice?" It would be so nice if they were friendly people, responsible and kind, people who accepted peace. In each location, I reasoned with them and with great logic and adhering to my Lord's admonishments to exercise mercy and compassion, I told them of eternal life, God, and happiness, how it could all be theirs if they would simply accept that God's way is right. I told them how easy God made it to live forever, how his Covenant of Salvation was so generously merciful and abundant with goodness and well-being. But "they hated me without reason" as they hated Jesus Christ, as Jesus Christ explained: "Remember that I told you that no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent them. If they hated me, they will hate you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because they do not know me or the one who sent me." And so their words are all insults, and they lack the ability to say anything right, because their hearts are devoid of truth. So as angels have said to them, they are "found wanting", "found lacking". Do you think that God wants them to chase me out of, and bring to ruin through corruption, this tenth location, another that I have set up to build anew apart from their cruelty? Surely you can ask him what he wants, if you truly want to know his answer. "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop -- a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear." Do not be afraid of their abusiveness. Do not feel like you have to be wealthy in order to dwell in another location, or unloving in order to survive. There is no such thing as a safe location. The only safety is given by God. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because you are with me. Your discipline and your guidance comfort me. Surely, goodness will follow me wherever I go, all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." So if someone says to me, "[name], why do people hate you so much?" then what should I say to them? I say, "It is because Jesus Christ chose me out of the world to live forever in his ways, and in my joy of learning from him, I said to these people, 'I want you to live forever also -- look how easy it is, and there is nothing wrong about it'." And if they say to me, "That isn't the reason; it doesn't make any sense. Who honestly wouldn't want to live forever?" then I say, "That is the reason, and you are right in saying it is insane." John 15:19 (https://biblehub.com/john/15-19.htm) If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. -- Me: I know it is difficult to leave home, but you should in this situation. Them: I would leave home, ofc. Do you think sis and I don't want this from our hearts? But with our smallish pensions, it is impossible atm to rent even a 1 room thinggie and pay bills + food + clothing + meds + docs. So ... You see, it is like a fish biting its own tail: to move away from home, sis and I would need to pay bills, rent, food etc on our own and our very small income is just not enough for that so we need to work, both of us, full time; but we can't work as long as we are home, with parents, especially dad, behaving in such an awfull way with us, it is just affecting our health too much and our ability to work. We' need to have enough money like to live away at least 6 months or so, then work for a while only part time, then after maybe a year of working half time before starting to work full time. And probably we'd need to change city too, cuz in our city industry is almost dead, most jobs are in commerce and services: cashiers etc at supermarkets, in shops, or at the bazaar, and salaries in the North part of the country are among the smallest in whole country. Me: "...the deceitfulness of wealth..." Nothing happens apart from God's will. My friends, do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. I will tell you who you should fear. Fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both your body and soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. Do not be afraid of your parents' abusiveness. Do not feel like you have to be wealthy in order to dwell in another location. There is no such thing as a safe location. The only safety is given by God. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, because you are with me. Your discipline and your guidance comfort me. Surely, goodness will follow me wherever I go, all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." So even this he already handled for you, going ahead of you. Your Lord will always be your Righteousness. Your Savior will always be your Salvation. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Your people have rebelled against me since the time of their ancestors. Return to me, and I will return to you. Entrust your entire heart to me. Test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you won't know where to store it all!" Trust in God's Faithfulness. Keep Watch. -- John 3:8 and Proverbs 20:24 -- Mark 16:17 "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;[...]" Matthew 8:29, Mark 1:24, Mark 5:7, Luke 4:34, Luke 8:28 "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?" "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!" "Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!" When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!" When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!" For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. Evil spirits and evil people play the victim card, as a basis for accusation (Satan means the Accuser), blaming God when he does not show them mercy, but Jesus Christ led Justice to victory. "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion." But Job replied, "You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" So in all this, Job said nothing wrong. (Job 2:10). Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? (Lamentations 3:37-38). I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7). -- This is what the Sovereign Lord God Almighty says to all you who have rejected him: "I will help you if you want me. Bring to me these words as a voucher along with your heart." Do not blame others for your own unhappiness. It is not their responsibility to make you happy. God has given you everything you need. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." Why are you so Hell-bent on your own destruction? It is because you do not know that God is Merciful and Good. If you had known God's words and known God's actions, you would know God, and you would love God. "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." So take a shower, and you'll feel better. "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their teachings are merely rules taught by men.' You have let go of the Commands of God and are holding onto the traditions of men." God said, "Love your neighbor as if they were you," but you have been bad to each other, mean with your words, and unwelcoming of visitors. You turn away people who have done you no wrong; and they see the conflict you perpetuate and they stand clear of it, going elsewhere instead. Then you blame others and play victim even as you accuse the victims of your cruel words of irrationally feeling victimized. This place has become "a brood of vipers". And it has been this way for many years, because you refuse to be nice people and respectful of each other. This is the problem I saw, and that is why I have spoken of God -- because you obviously "don't know [your] left hand from your right hand". You ruin when you should be helping to build. And you laugh at your own destructive natures; but is it others who you are destroying? Isn't it yourself that is being destroyed? It is your reputations that are ruined beyond remedy, not mine. If only you had listened to God, who desires good for you, instead of pursuing your own self-destructive ways and verbally abusing innocent people... ...but now you have ruined this place by your actions, and those like you have ruined places like it, and three times I have had to try to start over. I couldn't stand your treachery and I had to leave behind two of those places. Now, the 10th location, I will hold my ground, and you will fall back! -- I am unemployed. I "go to bed" at 8 PM (which means I actually go to bed at around 9 or 10 PM), "wake up" at 4:30 AM (which means I typically am awake before then, but that's when I get up to use the bathroom), then program from 4:30 AM to 8 PM. That's about 16 hours per day of programming, and I am unemployed -- no one wants to hire me, and I have a Masters degree level education from Johns Hopkins University and have been practicing my craft since I was six years old, and I'm in my 30's. I've started several businesses and attempted the self-employment track, but I had so many ideas and plans, and I was so busy actually working, that my business never went anywhere. So let's be honest, it's like this: You can think that you are the best person for someone else's job opportunity, but if God doesn't want you to have a job, you'll never get one, because you're actually not the best person for that job. And world-renowned trumpet professor Wayne Cameron (who is a very compassionate and great person to be around and who has been employed as trumpet professor simultaneously in five institutions, including Peabody Conservatory which is part of Johns Hopkins University) had a sign on the wall of his studio which indicated, "It's not the best who get the job, it's the best-prepared." But look, anyone who knows God and Jesus Christ also should know that one does not need praise from fickle men or subscribe to petty games of "success or failure". If I wanted a game, I would make it myself! No, all success is with God, not with man. And I have written a text file of over 1 MB of wisdom learned from God and Jesus Christ, and showing some of what God and Jesus Christ has allowed me to honor him by saying. I am a god ("I have said that you are gods") because of what God does for me, not because of what I do for myself. When I add to the text file, I save it in triplicate, but I have only met one person who has *asked* to read it. With everyone else, I have to throw it at them -- as you say, "sell it to them" even though it's free and is good for them. But who actually wants to respect me for what I do in this world of decreasing respect for God, and therefore decreasing respect for man who God created? "They will treat you this way because they have not known my Father or me." -- Luke 18:31-34 Jesus took The Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about The Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again." The disciples did not understand any of this; its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about. -- "What is the work that God requires of us? What are we supposed to do?" "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." -- Dwelling upon adversity without the purpose of Justice leads to grief. -- Me: If you do what I say, I will double your money. You said that you have $2000, and you gave me your paypal.me link, and I have more than $2000. Thus, the potential for this proposition. I will give you $2000 if you do what I say. This is what I say you must do every day: 1) Go to bed at 8 PM every day. 2) Brush and floss your teeth after your dinner meal, while you still have energy. 3) Sleep until at least 7 AM unless your job or some other necessity requires you to stay up earlier. 4) When you get up, drink a full glass of water. Stretch properly and move around to facilitate circulation. 5) Unless you have a health condition that requires otherwise, do not use any kind of drug or medication including addictive chemicals such as nicotine. Quit now. 6) Unless you have an allergy to them, eat only cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, bananas, celery, broccoli, carrots, whole chicken, fish not stored in a can, garlic, lemons, whole grain (brown) rice, clementine oranges, peanuts, and the occasional olive to taste. You can sauté in olive oil. If you want, you can bake using rice pasta or artichoke flour pasta. 7) Drink a full glass of water on every odd-numbered hour while you are awake. Drink only clean water. Use Aquasana brand water filtration systems. 8) Before you sit down at a computer, plan exactly what you are going to do with it and for how long. Maximum duration per planned use is 1 hour: write down the ending time. If you do not accomplish the task within an hour, stop using the computer and get up from the chair and move around, set aside the goal, and come back to it at least a few minutes later. 9) Buy a New International Version Holy Bible as published by Zondervan, with Jesus Christ's words printed in red. In your spare time, spend time with God and read what Jesus Christ has said. Give good consideration and learn from him. 10) Take a piece of paper and write down everything you do not use and that you can sell or give away. Once you have that list, find out convenient ways to get rid of those things, selling them if you can. "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." "Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven. Then come follow me." You must relinquish in your heart the desire for all these things, and take steps to rid yourself of them. 11) Contact Carla Boggess at Ameriprise Financial (carla.boggess@ampf.com) and tell her that you would like to begin investing in low-risk high-yield bonds. She's a very nice person so be super polite. Use an Ameriprise account instead of what you use now. Do you agree? Them: I wish i could but there is only 1 thing i could do on that list and even then i doubt i would follow on a regular basis Me: Success begins with proper discipline. I already invested in you. Who else shares such wisdom with you? And who else offers to double your money? Give it a try. And don't give up. What you have done until now has been harmful for your health. Let's agree to do good things for your health henceforth. Them: i just have to be honest. if u gave me millions of dollars right now in my face i still could not complete theses tasks even 1 time round only 3 are within my grasp if i tried hard Me: which three -- Jesus Christ gave his body and blood for the forgiveness of our sins. -- Ambition "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Do you feel like you should be doing more in life, that there is something wrong with your heart? "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! ..." Jesus Christ also handled this for you. All you must do throughout your lifetime is believe in him -- that is what it means to serve him ("Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." "A time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, because those are the worshippers the Father seeks; God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship in Spirit and in Truth." "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life." Worship God by believing in Jesus Christ. Believe in Jesus Christ by observing Jesus Christ's words and believing the one who sent him: "Whoever hears my words and believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and will not perish. Whoever hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who build his house with a stable foundation." "Whoever comes to me, I will never turn away. For I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to the the will of him who sent me. And this is my Father's will: that I will not lose any of all those he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him, will not perish but have eternal life; and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away. The heavens will vanish like smoke, and the Earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end." If you honestly know that you believe in Jesus Christ, then set aside your other ambitions, because Jesus Christ is your Righteousness and you are already doing all you need to do! He already underwent his baptism, so accept his purity as your own. Look how God has prevented anyone from being able to harm your soul! Thank Jesus Christ for this. "If anyone would come after me, they must lay down their life and take up their cross and follow me. Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake and for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven will preserve it. What good is it for a person to gain the entire world, yet forfeit their soul? What could you possibly exchange to buy back your soul? The Son of Man will return in his Father's glory with all his angels and reward each person according to what they have done. In fact, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see The Son of Man approaching in his kingdom." -- "...but let anyone who boasts only boast that they know me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." "You will be rejected by brothers, relatives and friends." "All men will hate you because of me." I do not need them to be my friends. I already have a friend who is faithful to me and trustworthy. If they are such unfaithful friends, why would I want them to be my friend? They do not even know how to be a genuine friend. If they reject good by being unfaithful to Jesus Christ and God, who they hate and don't even want as their friend, what kind of person does that reveal them to be? I ask God to keep me away from evil. When they reject me, it reveals that they are unfaithful friends. "...but when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth?" So these ask me, "Are you a Christian?" But why should they care what knowledge I have? They express no interest in listening to what I say. If you do not listen to me, do you care what knowledge I have? It should be obvious to anyone in my presence whether I know Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ knows me, and what God has shown me should be obvious to anyone who reads what I write or hears what I say. Whether I do good or evil should be obvious by my actions. My intentions should be obvious to anyone who can perceive what I am doing and desires to know my intentions. If you want to know what is in my heart, listen to what I say, and see for yourself whether I say and do what God says and does, or if I speak on my own to gain honor for myself. "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks; a good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Men will be accountable for every careless word they say." "By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." Them: hijo , si deses ser hijo de Dios o tener a Dios en tu corazon , pues te lo digo primero , tu no aplicas lo que predicas ... pues que varon de Dios va jugar un video juego de armas aun sabiendo que cuando muera seran a tormentados con estos personajes en el infierno ?, primro aplica y luego predica no das buen testimonio Me: Who told you that playing video games makes you evil in God's sight? 25 Entonces Jesús los llamó a todos y les dijo: "Ustedes saben que los que gobiernan a los pueblos se portan como sus amos, y que los grandes señores imponen su autoridad sobre esa gente. 26 Pero entre ustedes no debe ser así. Al contrario, si alguno de ustedes quiere ser importante, tendrá que servir a los demás. 27 Si alguno quiere ser el primero, deberá ser el esclavo de todos. 28 Yo, el Hijo del hombre, lo hago así. No vine a este mundo para que me sirvan, sino para servir a los demás. Vine para dar mi vida por la salvación de muchos." "Ustedes me traen ofrendas, pero eso no es lo que quiero. Lo que quiero es que me amen y que me reconozcan como su Dios. 7 Ustedes no entienden esto que Dios dijo: "No quiero que me sacrifiquen animales, sino que amen y ayuden a los demás". Si lo entendieran, no estarían acusando a gente inocente. 13 Mejor vayan y traten de averiguar lo que Dios quiso decir con estas palabras: "Prefiero que sean compasivos con la gente, y no que me traigan ofrendas". Yo vine a invitar a los pecadores para que sean mis discípulos, no a los que se creen buenos. -- Do you want to see God? Ezekiel 34 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them. For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice. Jesus Christ did this, and he will return and do this again. "But after I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." "Father, glorify your Name!" "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." God's words are forever. -- Why are you stressed? "Be still, and know that I am God..." "But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!" So you see, he already went through stress for us; just accept him and set aside your ambitions. Because life is about what God can do, which is anything. -- "All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish: by standing firm, you will be kept safe and gain life." Your relationship with Jesus Christ shows who among others are faithful friends and who are unfaithful friends. -- Responsibility and Friendship Do I help these, or do I leave them alone? There is a dog right now sitting in a car on the street, barking towards a house because its owner left it inside the car alone in the heat with a window slightly open. I have a neighbor whose bird house is sitting on the ground because it fell off of its stand. I know someone who suffers from abusive parents, one of whom is a severe alcoholic and the other who simply does not show care for them. I know someone who is severely irresponsible and is trying to find more meaning in life. Do I help these situations now, today? Am I to act like Superman, which popular culture and children idolize as a superhero? But if I help these people, they will not thank me for it, but lean more towards trying to punish me for my trying to help them. Should I blame them in my heart for being irresponsible? "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." -- (you trust God and have faith in God) > > safety < < (God is Trustworthy and Faithful) "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." "Not even a hair on your head will perish; by standing firm, you will gain life." "Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Even each hair on your head is numbered. So do not be afraid, because you are more valuable than many birds." -- Knowledge of God does not prevent a person from recognizing Truth. God is God of Truth. -- Do not let ambition cause you to neglect your duties. Responsibility is more important than ambition. -- The Truth does not change. Had I said nothing, you would not have known. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Mourn before the Lord. His words are necessary. Mine are not. His guidance is good. Mine is for naught. "You judge by human standards; I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgement is correct, because I seek not to please myself but the one who sent me and I do not stand alone but I stand with the one who sent me." He creates. I ruin. He gathers. I scatter. He guides. I distract. I am not worth his time, but I need him. Even if my flesh could retain full knowledge of his Majesty, I would always remain shameful. I have no hope for redemption. I am lost and unworthy. Let the nations put their hope in him; but I am nothing. Whatever task I do will fail, whatever path I walk will be met with sorrow. I know men are interested in what they can do. But I have not insulted my Savior as they have. My God is Good. Man has given me such grief; but this also was permitted by God who alone is Good. I read of others' words who say grand faithful things, and I say to the Lord, "They are better than me." I have a barrier; it calls itself mine, but I reject ownership of it. My God knows how terrible I am. Let me loathe myself -- do not mock me for it, enemy, for isn't this what you want, that I am to be divided against myself? Have you considered my Master, Jesus Christ? He is without fault, and there is none as righteous as him. I hear the voice telling me, "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation", but it gives me no joy or comfort. What do you want, Counselor? Jesus Christ, do you really love me? Am I to be pleasant in your sight and not in my own sight? Grief. Mourning. Shame. I loathe myself because I have any other thoughts in my heart besides yours. Why don't you make them just leave me alone? Is it really just for them to leave me alone? If you want them to hurt me, then fine; you've already heard my opinion, and let Job speak for me then. I do not understand why I cannot do anything. Man is my enemy. You are my friend! You have not done wrong to me, and you are not neglectful, but I hate this environment, because you want me to speak even though no one listens. Who cares what I say, Jesus? You say, "Go show them this sign from me," and I go. And you share it through me. But you have deadened their hearts and blinded their eyes so that they ignore me and roll their eyes instead of understand and have joy. You show me these former environments: is there a time when it was otherwise? Men have unanimously agreed that they do not want me to be their teacher. And you have already taught me that you are the only teacher. What affect does it have for me to say, "listen to Jesus Christ"? They have all chosen to ignore what is right! They abscond when they are called forth to say something good! Look at them, my God, I know you see this because you have revealed it to me. Now punish me, if you want. -- When you speak, aren't you just breathing out air that does not belong to you? -- Matthew 23:23 Jeremiah 9:24 Psalm 33:5 Hosea 10:12 Daniel 4:37 -- "I would not do that," the priests, pastors, ministers and reverends say. "No? Then how did you treat me?" I say. You never listened to me, I think, as Jesus Christ brings me back to himself and intervenes, saying to them, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." Jesus Christ forgave them for me. Matthew 25 -- Your enemy does not want you to know God. "The thief comes only to kill, steal and destroy. I have come so that [you] may have life, and have it to the fullest." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." "Repent, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "After I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "I am burning with Jealousy; I desire what belongs to me." "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." "Bring your entire heart to me; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vine weeds will not cast their fruit. Then all the people will call you blessed, because yours will be a delightful land." "I do not delight in the death of anyone. Why should you die? Shouldn't you instead repent and live?" "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." "...because I know the plans that I have for you: to make you prosper, not to harm you. I plan to give you hope and have you live into the future." "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but man's interests. If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. Whoever wants to preserve their [lifestyle plans] will lose [them], but whoever loses their [lifestyle plans] for my sake and for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven will find [real life]. What good is it for a man to gain the entire world, but forfeit his soul? Or what could a person possibly exchange to buy back their soul? You should realize that the Son of Man is going to return with his angels and then reward everyone according to what they have done. In fact, some people standing here will not see death before they see the Son of Man returning to Earth on the clouds of the sky." -- "Why are your eyes closed?" "My eyes are closed because I see more than you do." "What do you mean?" "I see more than you do because my eyes are open and your eyes are closed." -- Think about God, and you will always be happy. "It is written, 'Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God.'" "It is written, 'Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" "Away from me, Satan! For it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'" God's Living Mercy, Justice, and Righteousness was born as 'The Son of Man', led Justice to Victory by pouring out himself to save the world, said, "Because I live, you also will live," gave us The Holy Spirit as The Counselor, and returned to sit at God's right hand in Heaven, and said, "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make students of all nations, baptizing them into the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. [Commands of love.] And I assure you that I am always with you, even until the very end of the Age." Do the people tell me to be silent? Oh yeah? Do they? Well, Jesus Christ makes me happy, and they don't. "Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. Their treasure will be consumed and wear out, but my Salvation will endure for all generations, and my Righteousness will never end." Them: Why did you send this to me? Me: Hi, [name]! I send encouraging things to all my friends. And you are my friend because you were friendly. Many people are not friendly, and those people receive no encouragement from me. In fact, I have conversed with many unfriendly people on the Internet and face-to-face in person, all of whom I sought to serve, to help, to encourage, and I have designed software for them to use based upon the desires and needs I saw they had and regarding which I surveyed them, but almost all of them have shown me great hatred, without altering their behavior for over a decade of their knowledge of me. So I encourage who I can, not who I cannot. Have a great day, and enjoy the new warm weather! Here is my YouTube channel, if you're interested in seeing the kinds of things I have been doing: [link] Many people are only interested in themselves. I share information with you because what you wrote shows that you are interested in more than yourself. And I write about happiness because everyone desires it, yet only a few actually find it, and those who do find it desire to share it with others. Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. [service initials] -- Matthew 5:28-30 ... "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into Hell." ... You do not need to cover your face with garments to prevent others from seeing you. "Nothing outside a person can make them 'unclean' by going into them, because it does not go into their heart, but into their stomach and then out of the body. Instead, what comes out of a person is what makes them 'unclean' -- from within, out of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from a person and make them 'unclean'. Eating with unwashed hands does not make a person 'unclean'." "anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" indicates that you can see someone or something, but it is the act of looking at that person or thing with sexual desire that is what comes from your heart and makes you 'unclean' because of sexual immorality and adultery and envy... which are evils that come from a person's heart. So adultery is not the act of being naked, but the action of the heart of looking at anything or anyone with sexual desire. Relationships are not built upon sexual desire, but upon kindness, justice, and righteousness, which God exercises on Earth because "I delight in these things." And one must bring their heart to Jesus Christ, God's Living Mouth and Hand and Word, who said, "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean. ..." So considering pornography, it is unclean because its display is intended to evoke sexual desire -- lust. The visibility of it is not sin, nor is the act of seeing it -- to the extent that Jesus Christ commanded "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell." Discard pornography so that you are not involved with its intended lust. Jesus Christ will handle all of this for you, if you ask him. He promises that his words will make you clean, so that you will not have to suffer the presence of evil in your heart anymore. Mark 9:42 "But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck." Jesus Christ is the love of my life! -- Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. -- I was consistently ignored, so finally, I wrote: The community cannot grow until such problems are resolved properly. Playing a computer game does not solve social problems, so the suggestion to "just play a 1v1 in [game]" will not work. I see that [name] wants to compare himself to me, to gain some sort of socially-engineered praise from his associates, so fine, let's compare the two of us: [me]: Writes about interests other than those commonly discussed. Indicates no interest in himself. Works every day to help others, without receiving recognition. This is why he shares information with people. [name]: Picks fights and makes fun of [me]. Mistreats others. Writing depicts a narcissistic interest. No indication of sharing interests other than those commonly discussed. Reactions are consistently demeaning to his associates. Retaliates at the mention of interests other than those commonly discussed, indicating no desire for contextual knowledge; symptom of an internal conflict inside an unrefined person. This is the comparison [name] has shown he wants. The results of what he wants don't seem to be in his favor, and he probably does not desire the results of what he wanted to accomplish here. Oh well. Conclusion? The conclusion you reach reflects the nature of your person, whether good or evil. "...I think it would be smart if a [chat] server gets made for this community because it would bring everyone closer..." As long as people here keep mistreating each other, this community will continue to divide instead of unify. That is what has ruined this place; expressing other interests has not ruined this place. Why would you want to voice chat with a person who lacks integrity? Them (another person): [me]: Posts long verbose messages with a tone of superiority. Discusses topics nobody wants to talk about and actually actively avoid due to the confrontational nature and personal importance those topics usually hold. Constantly trying to convince others of the truth of his statements, which implies a subconscious uncertainty. Overzealous insistence may be more to convince himself than others, and his looking to others for agreement suggests a lack of conviction or strong will. Me: If you don't want to be judged, then do not judge other people. And if your desire to not be judged by other people leads you to conclude that you should not judge other people, then the experience was worthwhile, because you have found yourself agreeing with Jesus Christ who is the Truth, who commanded, "Do not judge, or else you will be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7 [linked] ). And if you find yourself agreeing with him, then you should also learn what else you agree with regarding what he said. And in doing this, you may then find yourself learning a lot more about yourself and about others than you knew before. And all this education, if granted, would then lead you to being a good, disciplined person. "[me]: Posts long verbose messages with a tone of superiority." It may seem this way, especially to those people who believe no one is superior to them. And you cannot rationally criticize me for ignoring you or being unclear when I spend so much time answering your questions and providing reasoned statements. Unlike others who simply ignore people and expect good things to result. As for the rest of your description of my actions, all is mere speculation and I chuckle at it because it is the typical slanted assertion not reflecting consideration of what I actually say and do. Cheers, you've completely missed the ball. Take another swing? -- It would be completely legal if Microsoft did not make it illegal. The same goes with anything else anyone does. Everything is legal until someone says, "This is illegal." Thus, the burden of reason is placed upon the person who claims something as being illegal. Once the reason for that illegal status is gone, it should not continue to be illegal. For example, you drive on the right side of the road in this country. But if there is a tree blocking your lane and you can go around, or when there is construction in an area of road that requires you to drive in the left lane, that reason overrules the existing illegality of driving only in the right side lane. In the same way, if Microsoft's legal department actually agreed that their game fans should not be called law-breakers by doing what has been done here with [a modified software product] and other community works, then there would basically be no tree in the road saying to us, "the only way to get around this is to break the law". But in this situation, the reason for making [a modified software product] illegal no longer exists. If Microsoft was making any revenue in its Russian market, that did not apply to non-Russians like us. And this [software] game was discontinued anyway, which means Microsoft no longer wants to make money off of it. When you consider all the facts, and look at all their reasons for being legal situations, then in a single conclusion, [a modified software product] and all our other community projects should be considered legal. And I assert that any arguments to the contrary are from uneven opinions rather than based upon evidence. Consider this: when you speak, aren't you merely breathing out air that does not belong to you? Yet people have the arrogance to claim copyright for their words and actions without permissive leeway. So copyright provides no reason to make something illegal. Unless, of course, you want to be sued by God and pay a fine for every breath you take... because you took what does not belong to you, which in legal terms is called petty theft, and is punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both. So you see this arrogance does not respect double-standards, and gets us nowhere, quickly. [You can remember to be grateful the next time you have difficulty breathing.] Therefore, any corporation who wants their interests to be taken seriously must provide with their works a license that respects use, not hinders the user. It should be obvious to any professional software developer that the user of their software has the privilege -- and possibly, the duty -- to open the software product in a software analysis application. And anyone who comprehends the basics of what an executable is should also understand that it is irrational to make believe in the law jargon that the release of a software product is anything substantially less than releasing the source code to that executable. If you don't want to release the source code, don't release the app! And if you release the app, show the source code also, which at least allows you to provide personalized comments and additional information with the files. But some people say that air is necessary to have in order to live, and computer software is not necessary to have to live, and "this is why it is not legal to sue for air, but only for intellectual infringement". In making this argument, they claim that they have the right to sue for something of insignificant value, not for something of great value. Wouldn't you sue for a crime based upon its severity and extent? Look at how valuable air is, which no human can live without, and compare that to software, which is considered a luxury. Now if you sue someone more for grand theft or capital felonies than you do for, say, stealing a banana from a marketplace, then wouldn't you sue someone the greatest possible amount for taking air that does not belong to them, especially since air is maybe the most valuable physical object made accessible to every living being? These people argue with reason that convinces that their actions are evil, not that their actions are good. Their thinking is backwards, because they are narcissistic fools who deserve to be left alone and fall into a pit all on their own. But they drag others down with them into their pits. "Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." -- Have you shown God any gratitude for the air you breathe? Have you used some of it to say "thank you, Heavenly Father"? -- Fools deceive, but knowledge of God and Jesus Christ is life. -- Step 1) Sees image. Step 2) Right-clicks image and selects "Search Image on TinEye". Step 3) Sees that image is a meme. Step 4) Notes irony that a post criticizing IP infringement through software modification and distribution uses an meme image they have modified and/or redistributed. Hypocrisy confirmed. Sorry, mate. I know you felt like you had the right to modify and/or redistribute meme images, but technically, memes are also IP infringement of a much greater severity and scale than [example of software modification] ever could be. Anyone who has ever modified an image without the copyright holder's explicit written permission has committed copyright infringement! Anyone who has ever "used" an image, such as by copying it, or hot-linking to it, without explicit copyright permission, has also committed copyright infringement! The fact that the image was "made available for free" is irrelevant -- after all, [community-altered software] was made available for free during beta testing, wasn't it? And so you see that if one person is to blame, you are also probably to blame by the same rationale, and then the entire Internet comes crumbling down under the force of copyright law. Surely there must be a more productive way... hmm... Some of you are probably thinking, "but wait, it's in the name of parody, which is 'covered' under copyright law". All those exceptions to copyright law are simply evidence that copyright law does not actually work in practice. If any law is to be considered valid by nature, it must be practical in full reason without any exceptions to it. Otherwise, it is evidently biased and clearly unjust. The "more productive way" is to have a double standard for God's command "love your neighbor as yourself". It is expected of the ruled to abide by copyright law, but all these excuses to break the law -- 'covered' situations such as parody -- are only the rulers handing us plebs crumbs of the same thing. I guess not much has changed since monarchies. The rulers expect the people to hand over loaves while the rulers themselves hand back mere crumbs of those loaves they have themselves taken to consume for themselves (you heard me, all you lawyers and politicians -- who pays your salary?). But if people would stop accusing each other and take a moment to think about what is actually happening, not give knee-jerk reactions based upon selfish or defensive fear, then maybe we could all get along better and start actually making progress as a society. You see how popular open source software web sites are like GitHub. They are popular because people can see what others have done and learn from it, and also collaborate upon it. But now we have greedy people in corporations basically using copyright law to get ransom money from the users of their software. To what end? Greed is destructive, it makes no progress. Why do you think [one company] and [their subsidiary company] keep putting out low quality updates to the [computer game] franchise? It's not because they are incapable, it is because the time table they have set for themselves on account of ... well, greed and fear ... has "forced them" to announce their projects ahead of time and release them ahead of schedule. There is no reason to release software to a user base you have not taken the time to survey and consider, and there is no reason to rush a project to completion. Well, not unless you enjoy the adrenaline rush of irresponsible behavior through setting unreasonable, self-imposed timetables for yourself and your colleagues. Oh, and then there is the "we have to start making money today" argument, which again, is a manifestation of greed and fear... does not seem practical to set unrealistic expectations, does it? That simply reflects poor planning, which is a kind of irresponsible behavior. And what about the wisdom of, "I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings." ? The copyright lawyers and judges may ignore wisdom and logic, but that does not mean I have to be a fool too. Fools prosecute and persecute because they want-want-want, but they are irresponsible and undeserving. In short, they themselves are hypocrites. The Internet is copyright infringement on an incredibly massive scale. But this is why laws change, once people see that they are impractical and unsuitable for a particular use, which is why you have these exceptions like "educational use" and "parody". But the laws only change if you have people throwing money at (lobbying) lazy politicians. See, the politicians are not hired to think, they are hired to be bribed, even as the law says that it is illegal for them to accept bribes. But then again, something has to give because the law does not match the practice. We already have the rights, they are simply not being recognized by conspiring lawyer-politicians and extortionist software developers. To foster transparency is to foster education. To foster education is to foster collaboration. To foster collaboration is to foster progress. But intellectual property law -- all those software licenses to which we have clicked "I agree" -- are provided to place between you and the software you are using a legal wall instead of a legal window, to foster clandestine opacity instead of transparency. And so only the people with the money to buy license contracts have the right to develop software? That's backwards practice. Because these developers expect to have access to other's freely-provided work -- libpng for example -- or to magically have the investment money like they do (because others have invested in them -- oh the hypocrisy is so deep!) and therefore be able to buy license contracts to use other commercial software in their own software. Where would the Internet be right now without a free, community edition of Microsoft Visual Studio, MySQL, Xcode, student licenses of 3D Studio Max or free versions like Gmax, and free alternatives to Photoshop like GIMP? Major corporations with the money and the copyright law lobbying clout (they call it clout, but it's really mere arrogance) can go ahead and buy and use paid versions of all these commercial products, and spend thousands of dollars each year doing so. But they have no right to expect everyone to have such resources and impose fines upon those of us who can only use free software and develop free software to which they in turn expect to have free access. If you have any idea what I'm saying here, you can clearly see that the whole copyright law system is a massive conspiratorial sham. But I have multiple copyrights of my own works, and I have had my own businesses (self-employed, I incorporated in Nevada and then in Wyoming as a C-corporation and then as an LLC), and I have seen first-hand the waters and sailed on them, and what do I do for myself? I provide permissive terms of use, basically saying, "make copies, but prefer the copies I provide and check with me for integrity of my work". Anything else is just setting up hoops for people to jump through. And nobody wants to deal with those, you've already lost a customer, use "the free alternative" instead! -- Foolish law is unjust law. -- Say what God says, not what you think. By listening to what Jesus Christ teaches, you gain wisdom and understanding, and by adhering to his teaching, his Spirit will guide you into all Truth. To man, this seems foolish, but to God, isn't man foolish? "What is impossible with man is possible with God." Exercise trust in God by bringing to him your heart in prayer, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy, and there is only one who is good, and that same one is also the only strength -- Almighty, greater than all, from whose hand no one can remove you. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me; they listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- I will write, but I will not be happy. I will condemn myself. Open was the mind of brandished foreign discontent. I have no words to offer my God. My enemies, come mock me all you want. I do not care anymore. Shed my blood if you want. What am I to you? In the future, which I do not know and cannot speak about, and in the past, which was before me and not part of me, and in the present, where I am to be shamed, my God does not change. I would speak of God, but I am too loathe of myself; no joy comes from my mouth, and no music from my hands. My words disgrace myself before God. All value I have is not of my words but is God's words given to me. And my body does not live by my own works but by God's works of mercy he shows me. Why do I speak to these people, they do not listen. "Speak," God says. But God knows I have nothing. And I say to him so many times now, "I was never worth your time or consideration." To brandish words is to heap sorrow upon oneself. Only Jesus Christ should speak. A heart of disaster is my lot, and my only hope is the only one I need. I hate people. I hate their evil spirits. I will leave them alone to destroy themselves. I need Jesus Christ. -- Today is known as Mother's Day. Matthew 12:47 Someone told him, "Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." Jesus replied, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, Jesus said, "Here are my mother and my brothers, because whoever does the will of my Heavenly Father is my brother and sister and mother. John 6:28 Then they asked him, "What work does God require of us?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who calls me 'Dear Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Dear Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, all you evildoers!' Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock..." Matthew 10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but division. For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law... a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' (Micah 7:6). Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who does not [accept that he must bear the unjust persecutions of men] and follow me is not worthy of me, because whoever finds his life[style] will lose his life[style], and whoever loses his life[style] [to gain me] will find [his proper life and way of living]. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. Anyone who accepts in their heart the prophethood of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because of the fact that he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. If anyone even gives a cup of cold water to one of these little children because that little child is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." ... "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have diseases affecting the skin are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised back to life, and the good news is preached to the poor. The human who does not fall away on account of me is blessed." -- God gives me a lot more than I share. "I am gentle and humble in heart." -- Consider the role of security guard. If one only ever expects evil, and not kindness, one becomes pessimistic. But even pessimists need kindness. "...But let whoever boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Among the hardships and suffering in a person's lifetime, this knowledge sustains. Why do some people not understand? This is why: Matthew 13:1-23. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A1-23&version=NIV 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. So understand that there is only one who is trustworthy. And that being is not you, but is the one who is in control of your fate, "who has in his hand your life and all your ways", from whose hand no one can remove you, who alone is good, and who is the only strength. He also knows everything, and "sees what is done in secret", and "has the power to throw both your body and your soul into Hell", so "fear him", but "do not be afraid" because "not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will." "Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God, trust also in me." [...] https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14&version=NIV ^note that it's "I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there so you may be with me where I am." So the good shepherd takes care of his own sheep; and "I know my sheep, and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Eternal life means knowing God and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the way to God, so knowing Jesus Christ means knowing "the way" to God, "the truth" from God's mouth, and "the life" with God. And as he explained, he will come back and take you to be with him where he is [with God], to dwell with him in the place that he has prepared for you. "I have given them your word, and the world has hated them; they are not of the world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. For them I have sanctified myself, so that they also may be truly sanctified." "My [salvation] is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." So "do not put the Lord your God to the test" but instead learn what it means to trust in God, simply by knowing God and Jesus Christ, and then logically trusting in God and Jesus Christ! When you are accused, remember that Jesus Christ is your Righteousness and you have no need to defend yourself. "I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, they will never see death." "I in them, and you in me. May they be one in us so that the world may believe that you sent me." With Life in you, you can no longer die; "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever lives and believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." "I have come so that they may have life, and have it to the fullest." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." "No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Whoever hears my words and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- Narcissistic politicians start wars. God ends wars. Narcissists will tell you, "Love your neighbor as yourself; by this, God means [!] you cannot love your neighbor unless you love yourself." They say this to attempt to justify their love of themselves, their narcissism, but where is it written specifically that God said, "Love yourself"? God does not say "love yourself". "Love your neighbor as yourself" means exactly what Jesus Christ explained: "...So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, because this sums up the Law and the prophets." This is why I reword "Love your neighbor as yourself" as "love your neighbor as if they were you". It is sympathy and empathy; you can have compassion while despising the wicked tendencies in your heart. Everyone needs kindness. The sun and the rain, the food you eat, the air you breathe, everything that supports your heart, mind, soul, will, and body -- all life-sustaining things -- come from God. "The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." But "be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect [showing mercy to everyone]". "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." I don't mean to be so negative or pessimistic. "The eye is the lamp of the body; if your eyes are good, your whole body will be filled with light. If your eyes are bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness. If, then the light inside you is darkness, how oppressive is that darkness!" If you only expect evil, and do not allow good (God's words, which you need and which are good for you: Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness) then you become pessimistic and oppressed by bad thoughts. "Dear Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed; Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean'. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." After he left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this. "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods 'clean'.) "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean'. Because from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean'. But eating with unwashed hands does not make a person 'unclean'." "Do you understand what I have done for you? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord', and rightly so, because that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example, that you should do as I have done for you. [Love one another as I have loved you.] I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen -- but this is to fulfill the scripture, 'He who shares my bread has lifted up his heel against me'. I am telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that I am he. I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me. I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me." On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." "When a man believes in me, he does not believe only in me, but in the one who sent me; when he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. I do not judge the person who hears my words but does not keep them -- I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words: that word which I spoke will condemn him during the Last Day, because I did not speak of my own accord but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. Therefore, whatever I say is exactly what the Father has told me to say." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "I tell you the truth: whoever believes has eternal life -- and my Father and I will come to them and make our home with them [to guide and sustain and protect them by myself, the Truth, the Father's Living Word] -- and they can no longer die, because they have crossed over from death to life." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father in the same way. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. ... Don't you recognize me, even after I have been among you such a long time? How can you say, 'show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not my own; it is the Father living in me and doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe based upon the evidence of the miracles themselves. [Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, then even if you do not believe me, believe in the miracles that testify on my behalf, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.] I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. That person will do even [more or greater] things than these I have done among you, because I am going to the Father. [God is doing more things among more people because of what God did through Jesus Christ -- and this is all continuously through the Holy Spirit.] And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that The Son may bring glory to The Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever -- the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him, nor knows him, but you know him, because he lives with you and is and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come back to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day, you will realize that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the person who loves me. A person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will also love that person and show myself to him. ..." ..."I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I have sanctified myself, that they also may be truly sanctified. My prayer is not for them alone. I also pray for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one, I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given to me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and I will continue to make you known so that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." "My Kingdom is not of this world." -- Are you wasting time? To men, who desire their own will to be done, and who convince others that their ways are correct, you are wasting time by not satisfying their desires. They seek to please themselves. But to God, those who seek to please themselves are wasting their time by not learning from Jesus Christ, or by not doing what God wants; "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent". If you believe in Jesus Christ, and you do what he says -- "love each other as I have loved you" -- then you are satisfying God. God removes burdens from people and sets prisoners free from their enslavement to sin and death. A human might be physically imprisoned and spiritually free. A human might be physically "unrestrained" and spiritually enslaved. Jesus Christ "freed the prisoners". "You must suffer my kisses," says the Lord Almighty. You are not on your own. You can always ask Jesus Christ, and he already knows everything that happens and will happen. "Well do I know your suffering." Humble yourself and God will guide you to happiness. "You are my servant," he tells you. God takes care of his own -- "look how I'm starving myself and my Father's servants have food to spare; I will go back to my Father and say, 'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired men.' So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him." -- wherever they may be. -- What is more important: what God thinks about, or what people think about? It is what God thinks about. God wants you to know him, and to live forever. Then you will be free from sin and death, and then God will guide you throughout your life so that you do the best possible according to what he wants -- and God is the only one who is good. Jesus Christ, Life, is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. "What is impossible for man [including saving himself from death] is possible with God." -- Diversity is to teach mercy and compassion instead of narcissism and arrogance. It is the same principle of "I did not come to bring peace (consensus), but a sword (division)." This is the same reason for what God did with the Tower of Babel: so that people would look to him instead of to other people. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." And it is so that people would learn to be loving instead of biased or proud. For if everyone has the same colored eyes and the same colored hair and the same colored skin, if everyone looks the same, then creativity is rejected. God is The Creator, Yahweh, so do you think God wants creativity to be rejected? "I have set for you an example, that you should do for each other as I have done for you." God wants us to be "gods": "I have said that you are gods," said "to those to whom the word of God came, and The Scriptures cannot be broken..." We are not creators, but merely play in the sandbox. But to dishonor the variety of nature is to dishonor God. "Love your neighbor as if they were you." "Do to others what you would have them do to you," because God has shown that what you do to others, or not do for others, God will do to you, or not do for you, tenfold. -- Do not commit suicide. Life is not about how you feel or how you think. It is about trusting in God and Jesus Christ. While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." Can you see that Jesus Christ welcomes you into his family, the Kingdom of Heaven? "My Kingdom is not of this world." "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "I in them, and you in me." "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for whatever you like and I will do it for you. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." https://biblehub.com/niv/john/8.htm It's in many other languages also. Romanian, Spanish... "I have sheep that are not of this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock, and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." https://biblehub.com/john/10-16.htm "Because I live, you also will live." -- I need you to take only 2 minutes to think about this and understand this: "No one is good except God alone." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- Them: This weekend is your birthday? Happy early birthday brother Me: Thanks. I turn 32 on Saturday. I celebrate my birthdays by doing nice things for other people. That way, they are happy that it is my birthday. -- Fire From Heaven The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. You desire Mercy, not Sacrifice. May your Name be praised forever. Silence before The Throne. Let him sit alone in silence; The Lord has laid it upon him. Everyone will be salted with fire. Fire burn me so I can be preserved. Scrub off the consumable. Salting fire, let me feel the pain. Burn and clean so I am not the same. Justice, shine your light to me So I can see your victory. Carry me by crushing me; Your Mercy is a double-edged sword. Divide with your Peace. I am present, come burn me. The world cannot fathom your pain. Your way is Justice; burn away the impure thorns and throw cruelty into everlasting separation. Your Mercy is Compassion they will never understand, but clean me with your words so I accept your love. -- The Request I need to breathe. You are the only strength, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. Everything else is Weakness. Please allow me to breathe. Please allow me to exercise. You have had pity on me. Let no one take that away from me. Thank you for helping me, Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father. "I will have Mercy upon whom I will have Mercy; I will have Compassion upon whom I will have Compassion." I need to learn to trust you in your words. Jesus, please deliver me from evil. I called for help. My God helped me. He knew what I needed. Because he is my God. I will one day rejoice because you are my Savior, Jesus Christ, I will rejoice in your splendor and take in your Compassion with contrition, "because I am your God", you say. Of your works, the people say, "beautiful". But their words are a curse. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my Hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." You have shown the people many great miracles from the Father, and you please my Father and your Father -- our Father. Even with all you do, some continue to hate you because they do not belong to you; they are not your people and they cannot know you until you allow them to know you. I breathe because my God loves me. I live because he saves. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed." So I will live even though I die, and I must return to you within my heart. The people know you are life, yet they rebel. Make me not your rebel; you give life and cancel out the grave. Let me return to you unless you want me dust. "Return to me, and I will return to you." Before I was born, you knew me, and after I was born, you helped me. Because this is about you, not men. You cured and saved. You keep working. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Your words give me life, so I am saved from death which is my enemy. You will throw it into fire, but "because you trust me, I will save you from the fire". "It is also written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" For "Man does not only live upon bread, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God," so I must accept your words, Jesus Christ in Heaven, and in this way "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only," in Spirit and Truth, as you said it must be. "As surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess". Fear God My God is more fearsome than all the scary things combined. They threaten with death, which they fear. Jesus Christ, Life, has already nullified death, and "Have courage because I have overcome the world". Your words save life, and your enemy can no longer destroy, because you have saved your sheep from death to life. -- "Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other." You don't need the approval or peace narcissists love to selectively share. They are imperfect in love; "be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect". Do what Jesus Christ says, and let God sort them out at the proper time and in his proper way. "Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." If you do not want to fall into a pit, listen to Jesus Christ and ignore narcissists. "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen. I scattered them with a whirlwind among the nations. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate." Narcissists destroy, but "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights". So to be at peace with some people, you must leave them. Do not fear their hands, because God is greater and God has you in his Hand. Trust God, not evil. Evil will be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. His angels will throw these into the fiery furnace. Then the righteous will shine like the stars in the Kingdom of their Father." So accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. Otherwise, you are a blind pagan, a non-believer like other non-believers who are discarded along with the rest of evil. How does a person know who Jesus Christ is? How can you know who a person is except by knowing about what they say and do? How can you genuinely know who Jesus Christ is before you have read and understood what he says and has done? "All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. Because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of the one who sent me; this is his will: that I will not lose any of all of those he has given to me, but that I will raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and that I will raise them up during the Last Day. ... I am the bread of life. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I remain in that person. ... The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life, but there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day." The Spirit is perseverance. "Everyone will be salted with fire." Fire is purity -- Jesus Christ, Righteousness. "Your ancestors ate manna in the desert, and yet they died. But whoever feeds on this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." "He sent you to walk through the desert and gave you manna from the sky so that you would learn that man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." Jesus Christ's flesh and blood is God's word; he is God's Living Mouth, and he gives himself because God commanded him to say and do exactly as he has done. And people, children and rebels alike, need The Lord. No matter the state of your heart, by listening to Jesus Christ's words, you will know God and Jesus Christ, and "this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent". -- All you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ. It's easy. It's simple. It's good. It's necessary. It changes your life forever: "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because they have crossed over from death to life." "Because I live, you also will live." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "Whoever comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house upon rock. The streams rose, the rain came down, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had its foundation upon solid rock. Whoever hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house upon sand. The streams rose and the rain and wind beat against that house, and it collapsed with a great crash and was completely destroyed." "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life and I will raise them up during the Last Day..." "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- Jesus Christ protects you regardless of whatever danger you perceive. "No one can remove them from my protection." The cure to psychological warfare is to keep watch. You are weak, but God is Almighty and loves you. Trust God and Jesus Christ who is unseen. Every problem is solved by God. God is the only one who is good; everything else is either of God or not of God. "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is pulled up and thrown into the fire. Therefore, you will recognize them by their fruit -- what they bring out of their heart, either good or evil." "Do not be afraid of them; everything hidden will be revealed, and everything done in secret will be disclosed. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight. What is whispered into your ear, say publicly. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you to fear him. ... Even every hair on your head is managed by your Heavenly Father. ... If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments: do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you." Matthew 13:36. "...your Father, who sees what is done in secret..." -- "I will never leave you," says The Lord. -- Me: Hi, new visitors. Someone: hi Me: Hi, how are you today? Them: *sunglasses* Me: Is there anything you would like to say? Them: Hope you know what your taxes pay for lol Me: I live in the USA where citizens are employed as government employees whose salaries are paid by taxes. Them: Salaries aren't even a sliver of the tax dollar Try 35% to pensions 28% to military Me: Those are salaries. To receive a wage or monetary compensation on a regular basis is what salary means. Whoever is paid money is paid a salary. Them: Congrats, you "served" 20 years in the service, here's a paycheck for life Me: Well, they call it whatever they want to manipulate the facts to their own agendas, but you can't change logic. *wink* Them: Logic, right. Coming from a believer lol Me: By the way, I do not pay taxes because I am in a low tax bracket and if any of my income is taxable, it is too low. Oh, so you ignore facts to suit your own agenda? I guess you're familiar with how vanity feels. It would be good for you to repent, but to do that you would first need to want to "enter through the narrow door; wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it, but narrow is the road and small the door that leads to life, and only a few find it." A vain person wants others to think highly of them, because they are narcissistic and love praise from men. And so they socially engineer praise from men. But "everyone on the side of truth listens to me," says Jesus Christ. The logic I possess you cannot fathom, because it is hidden from you: "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." I boast that I know The Lord "who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things I delight". What do you boast about? Money? "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches, but let whoever boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." Everyone who comes here gets their well-being prayed for by me. And my God listens to me, because he knows everything and I believe in his only Son. Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. I see despair in you, and a burden of working for money. Neither of those things is going to help you achieve happiness. People with much more money than you are not happy, so why continue buying into "the deceitfulness of wealth and the desire for other things choke the word and prevent it from bearing fruit"? You are concerned about your hand: about the works of men. But God has "your life and all your ways" in his hand. Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. And the first step on that path of true understanding is humbling yourself enough so that you can actually understand in some small way what he has said and done. You're not special in this, it is a task for everyone. But most people are too narcissistic and slip into arrogance, which is evil, because it works to destroy them by separating them from knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because they have crossed over from death to life." That is where to find real joy. Why are you upset that you are unhappy with your life because you have turned your heart away from pursuing the only source of real joy? Should it surprise you that turning away the God of Life makes you unhappy? Don't you see the logic of this? If a man ignores the only source of real joy, should he be surprised that all he feels is miserable and unsatisfied in his heart? If you will not listen to me, listen to others who have walked the path you are walking, who have made up sayings like, "Money cannot buy happiness." The next great invention will not solve your problems, because that is man's plans. If you want to actually be happy and live forever, you must desire to know God's plans and humble yourself to actually speak with God and listen to what he has said through Jesus Christ. If you ignore God, you will never live. In fact, there are many "zombies", that is, people going about their business who are dead inside. So laugh at me, go right ahead, by all means, but God makes me happy and you do not. *champagne glass clink* "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people exhaust themselves for nothing and labor in vain, that the work of their hands is only fuel for the fire? Because The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." -- Your sins are forgiven. As lightning strikes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will the Son of Man be when he returns on the clouds of the sky. And you will see him, and the world will mourn, but you will remember that your sins are forgiven, and as the people are separated one from another, you will learn what that means. May your name be praised forever, Jesus Christ in Heaven, and Heavenly Father who is within you. -- Matthew 13 That same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and at it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop: a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear." The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Although seeing, they do not see. Although hearing, they do not hear or understand.' In them is fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding. You will be ever seeing but never perceiving. It is this way because this people's heart has become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.' Your eyes are blessed so that you see, and your ears are blessed so that you hear. I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and longed to hear what you hear but did not hear it. Therefore, listen to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about The Kingdom and does not understand it, The Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in that person's heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the person who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. However, because that person lacks roots, that person lasts only for a short duration. When trouble or persecution attacks the person because of the word, that person quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the person who hears the word, and the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it to prevent it from bearing fruit. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the person who hears the word and understands it. That person produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown." -- Do not worry. Fear cannot heal or raise the dead or make you grow an inch or make you live longer. It is Kindness (compassion), Justice (improvement), and Righteousness (faithfulness) which work together, interwoven actions, which is Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, God's Salvation for the World, God's only Son, God's Living Mouth and Hand, Sanctity and Safety. "The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him because he lives within you and is among you." May Jesus Christ's Name be praised forever! Listening to Jesus Christ means trusting in God. God knows what you are thinking, so trust God enough to set aside what you want or need him to help you with in your struggle, and pray instead as Jesus Christ showed you: "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us this day our daily bread. Please forgive us of our sins. Please forgive for me. Please lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Do this because God can do anything. "I am weak, but God is Almighty... and loves me." The entire prayer is a request for Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. -- "Dear Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wing, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. It is this way because, I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'." Is it enough that I type the location where to read these things, or do you need me to reprint the entire thing here? Matthew 25:31-46 "When The Son of Man comes in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on his throne in Heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him and he will separate each person from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then The King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, The Kingdom prepared for you since the creation of The World. I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in; I needed clothes and you clothed me; I was sick and you looked after me; I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth: whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me'. Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for The Devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; I was a stranger and you did not invite me in; I needed clothes and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me'. Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 26:26-35 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of The Covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom." When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus told them, "Tonight, you will all fall away on account of me, because it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered'. But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same. Note how he was arguing with him... -- Knowledge yields faith in God. Ignorant pagans say, "What do you know?" God says, "If you do not listen to what I say, do you care what I know?" -- "Who among you by worrying can add a single hour to his life or a single centimeter to his height? If you cannot do this very little thing by worrying, why do you worry about the rest of it?" What if you knew that by obeying Jesus Christ, you would live an extra 40 years? Would that give you an incentive to listen to him? Luke 12:13-21 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." What if you knew that by believing in Jesus Christ, you would live forever? Would that give you an incentive to listen to him? John 6:47 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life." Do you really think that you are capable of listening to Jesus Christ? Do you honestly believe that you can obey what he says? Do you think that you can live without listening to Life? Luke 16:27-31 "...'Then I beg you, father,' he said, 'send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them so they will not also end up in this place of torment.' But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.' 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.' Then Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. Learn how he suffered everything you suffer, and accept him as your intercessor and know that The Father is in Jesus Christ the Son, and Jesus Christ the Son is in The Father. And he welcomes each person to himself: "I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "A slave has no permanent place in the family. But a son belongs to it forever. So if The Son sets you free, you will permanently be free." "By looking to the Son of Man and believing the one who sent him, a person has eternal life and can no longer die, because they have crossed over from death to life." "Aren't you in error because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God? ... And about the dead rising ... He is not God of the dead, but God of the living. How badly mistaken you are!" -- Is it too much to look at a bound stack of paper which will make you happy with understanding and life? Read the true story of how Job was tormented by Satan and, by remaining faithful to God, even when his friends and wife were giving him a hard time, God blessed Job even more than before, letting him live a long time. ...there is too much wisdom from God to convey by testimony of anecdote. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The mind is to bring a person to eternal life, but only God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- "Do not steal. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as if they were you." Why do you waste your life being a slave? When you are tired of being a slave to sin, ask Jesus Christ to free you. "What goes into a person's mouth cannot make them unclean, but what comes out of a person's mouth makes them unclean. What goes into the mouth does not go into the 'heart' but passes through the body. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. Out of men's hearts come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside a man and make him unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean." So "what is the work that God requires of us"? "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." And these are a lot of "do not"s, so what should a person actually do? "The greatest commandment is this: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will.' The second-greatest is similar to it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All of The Law and The Prophets are based upon these." "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me, but from The Father." "This is my command: love each other as I have loved you. There is no greater love than a person laying down their life for their friends. You are my friends if you obey my commands. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. I have shown you everything from my Father." That's from John 14 and 15. "No one is good except God alone. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments." "God knows your heart." "Blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." -- Me: [to addressee] You work on designing artificial intelligence. In order to do this, you require knowledge. How much knowledge do you want to have? God has infinite knowledge. If you want infinite knowledge, listen to Jesus Christ. "If you do not listen to what I say, do you care what knowledge I have?" says the Lord your God. Your enemy, your accuser, whose native language is falsehood and lies, wants to destroy you by separating you from knowledge of God. Repent of selfish goals and learn from Jesus Christ, The Truth from God's mouth. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free from your enslavement to sin." -- Peace and Division God wants us to be at peace with each other, lacking violence and strife, and accepting of his kindness, justice, and righteousness, divided with faith independent of each other. "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword [division]." "I give you my peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid; trust in God, trust also in me. ..." "Have salt [perseverance] in yourselves and be at peace [lacking violence] with each other." The enemy of man wants man to fight man, because, as Jesus Christ explained: "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep, you all] may have life, and have it to the fullest." Matthew 12:22-37 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be The Son of David?" But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons." Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if it is by The Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then The Kingdom of God has come upon you. Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy by a human will be forgiven, but blasphemy against The Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against The Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every [careless/bad/lacking value] word they have spoken. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." -- Everything good and worthwhile belongs to God, and God gives freely. But both calamities and good things come from God; God is merciful and compassionate -- "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion" -- and God exercises "Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because I delight in these things". Both calamities and good things come from God for God's purposes, not the purposes or intentions of his creatures. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Jesus Christ is Life. Jesus Christ, God's Living Hand and Mouth and Son, says and does only what The Father says and does and is therefore about what God can do, which is anything. "Who then can be saved?" his disciples asked him. Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." God alone is good. God knows everything. God loves you. God is in control. God wants to teach you and help you and guide you, and this is why you exist. And he explained through Jesus Christ, "Trust in God, trust also in me." What more evidence do you need in order to trust him? But you can only trust what you understand. God does not require blind faith, although the blind will assert otherwise because they refuse to know and understand and believe. Those who lack understanding lack knowledge because they do not belong to God; God prevents them from knowing and understanding. "Leave them alone -- they are blind guides; if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." At which point, they will see that they are blind, and possibly then come around by that knowledge to understand that they were in the wrong and God's way is right. Then if God allows them to do so, they can repent and take a first step on the path of knowledge and understanding and real life which endures forever. "Because I live, you also will live." A person lives by accepting God's words. "I know that his command leads to eternal life. Therefore, everything I say and do is exactly as The Father tells me." The meaning of life is to obey God. "This is the work God requires: to believe in the one he sent." Out of understanding I have said, "Listen to Jesus Christ." God said, "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" Jesus Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. Now my kingdom is from another place. [...] You are correct in saying that I am a king. This is the reason I entered the world and was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my guidance is easy and my workload is light." Matthew 13:31-33 He told them another parable: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all your seeds, when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so large that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." He told them another parable: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into [an incredibly large amount of] flour until it worked all through the dough." -- Let me explain to you what you have not understood that you are doing. When you visit a web site, you are supporting that web site financially and implicitly by accepting of its influence. Those who present ads on their web site profit from page views or mouse clicks. Therefore, consider carefully the computers with which you choose to have your computer connect. Let's take a look at what happens when you visit a web site that displays pornography. The individuals or organizations who post such depictions of lewd or adulterous acts earn money or other forms of encouragement from your computer having connected to that web site. Lewdness and adultery are two kinds of evil which you have thus funded or encouraged. Where does the money come from? It comes from all kinds of sources: selling information which you do not even know you are providing to them to advertisers and in harmful data collection groups such as "black markets", bait-and-switch and other deceitful "cash grab" tactics by those who place enticing advertisements there and by those whose advertisements are there, and several other deceitful and clandestine individuals and organizations. Lying is evil. Deception is evil. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, The Devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?" "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor My Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is The Judge. I tell you the truth, anyone who remains obedient to my teaching will never die!" The money and encouragement from your use of "products and services", including web sites you "visit", goes to the ones who are providing and using that. Would you be more likely to use a well-known, "established" web site, which appears to be used by others, than a web site that indicates no sign of use by others? Would you visit a forum or watch a YouTube video if its view count were zero, or would you instead look at "the popular news" which appears to have millions of people having seen it, as if to say that you also should be "in the know" like others are about the information contained therein, or as if by indicating that millions of people have viewed something thus logic would dictate that it has credibility or establishment by its apparent age of presence or influence upon those people? I tell you the truth, you would be buying into deceitful, manipulative advertising tactics by considering such things as reason. You would buy with your mind and your money, and possibly subject your soul to rebuke or condemnation. Consider this a warning among the warnings so desired by those burning in Hell to be given to those not yet burning in Hell. "[...] In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and The Prophets; let them listen to them.' 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and The Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that tempt people into sin are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than for them to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent', you must forgive them." Then the apostles requested of the Lord, "Give us more faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? No, he says, 'Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.' Does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not. So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" When you visit a pornographic web site, the ones who provide content on it give what they have to entice you to return. They present what they think you will want to see, as an author presents a pretty picture on the cover of the book they have written and from which they intend to publish and make "a living". The person or people who present acts of adultery are desiring that you visit their web site repeatedly to sustain them directly and indirectly, both financially and with your access as implicit encouragement and license to affect and influence you. On the front cover of the pornographic book, you see what they want you to see, and what they have: evil adulterous or lewd acts which entice and influence you and more people into committing corresponding acts of evil sin. What you do not see is the inside of the book, and the people to whom the money goes. That is where you have funding for those who desire to abduct your children and subject them to sexual depravity and sell them into slavery. Have you not seen? Aren't you distressed by your own pain and suffering? By visiting a pornographic web site, you subject many more innocent people to much more pain and suffering than you have experienced, in a much worse way and for a much longer period of time. Should God allow you to view pornography? Should God say, "it's OK", when he looks at child abuse simply because you have funded it? Your arrogance and narcissism blind you as they steal your money and your soul, all the while distressing and destroying everyone else they can in the same way or worse! "Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won't be free again until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away [prevent yourself from using it to sin]. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away [prevent yourself from using it to sin]. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Hell intact, 'where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out'. Everyone will be salted with fire; furthermore, every sacrifice will be salted with salt. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other." It is more than this; there is more! What you do matters. If you cause evil, directly or indirectly, that leads back to you, and then leads to The Devil -- you would be serving Satan. If you cause good, directly or indirectly, that leads back to you, and then leads to Jesus Christ -- you would be serving God. And when God "demands your life from you", he will reveal every action in light for each person (including every individual you have feared or sought to please) to clearly see, and in the proper context: John 3:1-21 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him." Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again [from above]." "How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and The Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but The Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You all must be born again [from above].' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of The Spirit." "How can this be?" Nicodemus asked. "You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things? I tell you certainly truthfully, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of Heavenly things? No one has ever gone into Heaven except the one who came from heaven -- the Son of Man [(who, as of this writing, is now in Heaven)]. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. This is all because God loved the world so much that he gave His One-and-Only Son, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him[self]. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's One-and-Only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." So you see, authors of pornographic web sites and those who provide content to earn money by the spreading of evil sin for people who commit adultery act in secret and their funding is in secret. Do you think they pay taxes? No, such evil becomes "blood money", fueling the enslavement and abuse and rape and murder of many innocent people. And you want all this to happen so you can masturbate while pretending that you are married to one or more men or women you do not even know? What do you think is more import to God: that you deceive yourself to feed your wicked and deceitful lust, or to free the oppressed and bring them justice to heal you and the land? Who then is of sound mind and constitution: a person who defends pornography or a person who warns others, "Danger! Abuse! Criminals! Keep away!"? Let me ask you another question. When you see someone holler "danger, lock the doors, armed criminals are here" and you do nothing, will the armed criminals be nice to you because you were friendly and welcoming and let them inside? No, they will say, "You will die just like the others." So it will be with every nation who benefits and permits the wicked without working with God to hinder and decisively end evil and bring the evil to justice. "...but people loved evil because their deeds were evil..." "The good man brings good things out of the good [thoughts] stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil [thoughts] stored up in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." But evil people use enticing marketing to grab your money and fund the rape market, so that they can grow their industry of cancerous death which rots a nation from the inside out by rotting people's hearts from the inside out. Luke 9:37-45 (see also Mark 9:20-29 for additional information and revelation about what happened here) The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not." "You unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here." As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy; when the demon left the boy, he looked so much like a corpse that some people standing there exclaimed that the boy had died, but Jesus took the boy by the hand and lifted him to his feet so he could stand up. Then he gave him back to his father. Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God's power. While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, "Listen to me now and remember what I say; consider the following. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his mortal enemies." But they didn't know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn't understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. John 8:2-12 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'" (Luke 18:13). And for all of you who deny that God's way is right, "you are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts; what is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight". Repent and believe The Good News! When I have said, "'I will never leave you,' says the Lord", some have told me to never speak to them again. "When I called, they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen." And I even sent it in a text message as a stranger so they had no basis for accusing my person as being offensive to them or of having prior history with me -- no, they rejected God plain and simple. Will God accept those who reject him? God does not entertain evil in his presence, but says: "I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice." (Statement recorded in Ezekiel 34:16). Whose side are you on? "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the kinds of things that Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does." [...] (John 8:39-41). I have presented compelling arguments against the prostitution of pornography. Who will uphold them in court? "But there is one who seeks glory for himself, and he is The Judge." -- "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Everyone who does not listen to Jesus Christ does not want to know the truth. It is easier to turn raw sewage into drinking water than to make a non-believer repent of their evil ways. "Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." -- Me: [to addressee] You said that you do not share my world view. You do not need to share my world view, but you need Jesus Christ with you just as I need Jesus Christ with me. "My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from The Evil One. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by The Truth. Your word is Truth. For them, I have sanctified myself, so that they also may be truly sanctified." Earlier, Jesus Christ said, "Now is the time of judgment upon this world. Now is the prince of the world driven out of it. But after I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." The enemy of God is the enemy of man. Jesus Christ cast The Devil out of Earth by giving himself as The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, and today draws all people to himself "with faithful, loving kindness" so that they will know him and he will know them and they will live forever by obeying his words, and "whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because they have crossed over from death to life; that servant who knows his master's will and does not do what his master wants or does not keep watch for his master's return will be beaten with many blows, but the servant who does not know his master's will and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows, because from whomever has been given much, much more will be required, and of whomever has been entrusted with much, much more will be demanded." "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. [...]" (Matthew 7). -- You store up for yourselves unfaithful possessions. I store up for myself faithful treasure. You play by men's rules. I live by God's rules. Everything you have and all you desire will be removed from you so that you have nothing. And you will die. I have been guided by wisdom and I have chosen the good path, and it will not be taken away from me. And I will live. You are alone and will die alone. I know God and God knows me. I am with Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is with me. He has drawn me to himself with faithful, loving kindness, and I belong to him. You cannot remove me from his hand. You are foolish. I am wise. You are dead. I am alive. You cannot perceive. I learn from King Truth every day and night. You have nothing. I have everything. Your words are hollow. My words come from your God. Would you like to compare yourselves to me more, you arrogant narcissists? You speak on your own to gain honor for yourself, and are therefore flawed to lying. I speak what God gives me to gain honor for Jesus Christ, and therefore have no flaw by holding to his words. You have rejected God your entire lifetime. I have desired to know and listen to God my entire lifetime. You bring evil out of your heart. I bring good out of my heart. You lie. I tell the truth. You boast of ignorance. I boast that I know and understand The Lord, that he exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because he delights in these things. You will be humbled. I will be exalted. Humble yourself and repent and do what Jesus Christ taught. Listen to Jesus Christ. Will he know you on the Day of Judgment, or will you die an evildoer? It is easier to turn raw sewage into drinking water than to make a non-believer repent of their evil ways. They have hardened their hearts so that they are incapable of love and understanding. I wrote that in response to a bunch of people calling me names and telling me I had problems because I mentioned God. "All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm, you will gain life." "Everyone who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." If a person wants to belong to God, all they have to do is listen to Jesus Christ and realize that what he says is true... and doing that requires being enabled by God to understand what he says. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my Commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my Commands. These words belong to the Father. This is my command: love each other as I have loved you. By this, all people will know that you are my students -- that you love each other." In the last days: "...because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but whoever stands firm to the end will be kept safe..." "Men will be lovers of themselves [narcissists] rather than lovers of God..." "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. This sums up The Law and The Prophets." "...that I am the Lord, who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." "Forgive, and you will be forgiven." "But if you do not forgive your brother when he sins against you, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you of your sins." One must forgive from one's heart, and if one cannot forgive, one must accept that Jesus Christ has forgiven on one's behalf. "Love your neighbor as yourself." This is because how you treat others will be how God treats you! God is Good. But everyone must fear him. "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards cannot harm you further. I will tell you who to fear. Fear the one who, after your body dies, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Don't men sell birds for a few dollars? Yet not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Even each hair on your head is counted. Do not be afraid; you are much more valuable than birds. Whoever acknowledges me before men will be acknowledged by me before my Father and the angels in Heaven. Whoever disowns me before men will be disowned by me before my Father and the angels in Heaven. Do not presume that I came to bring peace on Earth. I did not come to bring consensus, but division. Henceforth will a family be divided, as it is written... and so whoever loves his parents or children or work more than me is not worthy of me, and unless you carry your suffering and follow me, you are not worthy of me. Whoever accepts you accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me. If anyone accepts a righteous person because the person is righteous, they will receive a righteous person's reward; anyone who accepts a prophet because they are a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. If anyone even gives a cup of cold water to one of these little kids because the person is my disciple, I tell you the truth, they will certainly receive and keep their reward." -- Are you tired of evil, of pain, of bad things, and ... of being tired? Jesus is compassion for the nations. He drives out evil and gives us Justice. "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way." Do you know what it feels like to be hungry? Jesus Christ is the bread of life; his flesh and blood he gave to us all so that we would have his words in us and live forever because he is in us and with us forever. This is Justice and Compassion and Mercy; he does these things and is the embodiment of God, who alone is good. Jesus Christ loves me and you. "I will never leave you," says the Lord. Listen to his words, because they do good for you. Learn from him throughout your lifetime and he will keep your heart and soul well-fed with what you should know and understand along the way. "You have only one Teacher: The Christ. You have only one Father, and he is in Heaven. You are all brothers. The greatest among you will be as your servant." "First seek the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and then everything else you need will be given to you." (Matthew 6:33). -- "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33). If you exercise kindness in the midst of evil, evil will be exposed for all to see. So "do not be afraid of them; everything hidden will be disclosed, and everything done in secret will be revealed. [Furthermore,] do not be afraid of those who kill the body and cannot kill the soul. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the body and the soul into Hell. Yes, I am telling you to fear him. Don't men sell birds for little money? Yet not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. You are more valuable than many birds, so do not be afraid; even every hair on your head is counted." Whatever you could do to a person, God will do much more -- are you angry with a person and want to harm them? "I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being thrown into the fires of Hell." "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other." Whatever justice you think you want, God will exercise far greater true Justice: Jesus Christ. Understand that Jesus Christ is faithful and accept him as your Righteousness and Salvation; thereby, you do not boast of your own strength or endurance, but of his faithfulness. And understand that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy: "...I in them, and you in me. May they be one in us so that the world may believe that you sent me." "...so that you may know and understand that The Father is in me and I am in The Father." The struggle exists to show you to trust God; "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is pure in weakness." Even when the mind and body fail, "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." Even when your body is killed by evil, you will not die, but live, because Jesus Christ is faithful. "Because I live, you also will live." "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will live even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" And he brought the man back from the grave. So believe before the door is shut. You make time limits for yourselves now, but you do not know the context of the actual time limit. Why do we burden ourselves and each other with our imaginations? The Last Day is the time limit, and if you want to live, gain life while you are still on God's Footstool. "Heaven is my throne, and The Earth is my footstool. What kind of dwelling place would you build for me, or where would my resting place be? Hasn't my Hand created all these things, and so they came into being?" By obeying God's Commandments, you will not abuse his Creation. "Do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself." -- God alone is good. To understand this is to walk onto the path leading to all understanding. -- If God does not care about you, then why do you exist? To exist without God's caring about you makes no sense; "I do everything with reason; I do nothing without reason," says the Lord. So God cares about all his creatures, even those who hurt him. But why does a person hurt God? They are disappointed with themselves or ungrateful because they have not known or understood Jesus Christ, the Truth. "No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Don't you recognize me, [name], even after I have been among you such a long time? How can you say, 'show us The Father'? Don't you believe that the Father is in me and I am in the Father? The words I speak to you are not my own, they belong to my Father who is living in me and working through me. My Father is always at work, and I am also working. [...]" -- "I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and righteousness, not burnt offerings. Do not condemn the innocent. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself. Repent and believe the good news, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself." -- I share only a small fraction of what God gives to me each day. "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who looks to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me I will not turn away, because I came down from Heaven to do my Father's will, not my will, and my Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes the words of the one who sent him then has eternal life, and that person will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day; only the one who is from God has understood The Father; I am telling you the truth -- the person who believes has eternal life; I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate bread -- manna in the wilderness -- and yet they died. Here now is Heavenly bread which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from Heaven; if a human eats this bread, then that human will live forever. Understand that the bread I am talking about is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you earlier that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to come to me, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day. Whoever looks to the Son has eternal life -- the true worshippers will now worship God in Spirit and in Truth, because those are the worshippers God seeks. God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship in Spirit and Truth. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore also know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him; I only do what my Father does, and The Father is in me and I am in the Father. He does not leave me alone because I always do what pleases him. Apart from me, you can do nothing. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything, and I will do it. I will not be asking The Father on your behalf, but my Father will love you because you believe in his only son. Those who practice worldly ways cannot know The Spirit of Truth, but you will know him because he will be in you and among you. I am setting you apart for special purpose to serve me, The Truth, which is an action that the world has hated because the world hates me; you are not of the world, even as I am not of the world, but I have given you special value and purpose by my words, so that you will live forever in my Father's protection. Whoever looks to The Son of Man, and believes the one who sent him, has eternal life. My words have made you clean, and I have washed your feet -- I have given you guidance by teaching you and showing you how to live; because I live, you also will live. Love each person in the same way that I have loved you. In the future, because of the increase in wickedness, most people will become unloving, but by remaining in my love, you will be kept safe and gain life. I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, my children, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors, you have rebelled against me and neglected obedience to my commands. Return to me with all your heart, and I will return to you. But if you do not obey my Commands of Life, then you will surely die. The soul that sins is the soul that will die. Repent and live; repent and believe the Good News! By recognizing that my words and actions come from God and believing The Father speaking through me, a person has eternal life. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. I will be returning soon at the end of Heaven and Earth. All of you will see the Son of Man returning on the clouds of the sky within his Father's great power and glory, along with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what that person has done. You do not know when I will return, but I am soon returning, so keep watch by recognizing the signs of my return as I have described. I am the resurrection and the life; just as I live because of the Father, so the one who eats my body and drinks my blood will live because of me. A person must hate their own life if they want to be my disciple; no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven until that individual humbles themselves like a little child -- like a person who is willing to learn and grow and become better. My guidance is easy and my burden is light. Learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because what I share with you will give you relief. I know what you need, so let me relieve you of your unnecessary burdens and give you a good and wonderful life instead. The world hated me first, but you belong to me. I am your God and I want to help you. Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations; they will respect My Son. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end. As surely as I live, every knee will bend to My Son and every tongue will confess The Truth to me. Then I will punish the wicked for their evil, and those who revered My Son will shine like stars in The Kingdom of their Father. My children, I will be your God and you will be my heirs, and I will give you the inheritance I have prepared for each of you since the creation of The World. Even now, I am preparing a place for you, and I will return to you and bring you back with me so that you may be with me where I am. You know my Son, who is the way to the place where I am. Listen to his words which have been proclaimed for all people throughout The Earth. You see me by looking to Jesus Christ, your Teacher and Lord, who has done what I commanded and is presently seated at my Right Hand until I place his enemies as a footstool under his feet. My words are Spirit and Life, so listen to him, and do not be misled by the wayward chaff of my enemies who I will uproot and burn in an all-consuming eternal fire. Do not my words do good to the person whose way is upright? The enemy seeks to kill, steal and destroy. I came down from Heaven so that you may have life to the fullest. I am life. Now I am with My Father and your Father, my God and your God, the God of Life. My grace is sufficient for you; my power is complete within your weakness. Do not fear; I am with you. Obey my commands to live! If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments: do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself. Do to others what you would have them do to you, because how you treat others will be how My Father treats you. If you forgive, you will be forgiven. If you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. If you judge, you will be judged. If you do not judge, you will not be judged. If you condemn, you will be condemned. If you do not condemn, you will not be condemned. Build your life upon my words, because my words are the one and only solid foundation. Let me be your righteousness and salvation, so that you will never walk in darkness. Let my words be your light so that you can see clearly and know where you are going. Do not be like dead branches which my Father cuts off and burns. My words are life. I have given you my Spirit. I am faithful, even though you fail. Trust in God and also trust in me. Not even a hair will fall from your head apart from your Heavenly Father's will. I am always in you and my Father is always in me. I know you as the Father knows me, and you know me as I know the Father. I know my sheep and my sheep know me equivalently to how My Father knows me and I know My Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father has given them to me and My Father is greater than all. No one can remove them from My Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one. Your ancestors rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day. When I entered the world, they saw it and were glad. I tell you the truth, before your ancestors were born, I am." Jesus Christ gives me his peace. Even though he has me go through temporary suffering at the hand of Satan, my Savior's grace is sufficient for me, and he has surrounded me with his rainbow, his covenant of life and peace in the safety of his Hand, his Care. He has held me under his wing to keep me safe from all harm, and he will never let me go. I must learn what it means to trust God, who is my only Savior. "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God." "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." "I will never leave you," says the Lord. "I will be with you at all times, and because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." I will not go to Hell, but I will go to Heaven, and I have a great reward there. Jesus Christ is my Righteousness and my Salvation, and no one can remove me from his Hand. When my body dies, I will continue to live forever in happiness. Here I grow, and there I will continue to grow. Now is my time of refinement to please God, and then God will continue to refine me to please God. I will continue to live, even though my body dies, as Jesus Christ explained. He is with me now, and I will be with him later. "Heaven is my throne and The Earth is my footstool." At a time of his decision, I will leave the world and receive my reward in Heaven. Man does not determine my fate, nor can man determine his own fate. A person's life and all their ways are held in God's Hand. I must live and learn now, and I will continue to live and learn later. I will never die, because Jesus Christ is in me! I am free because The God of Truth is in me! The striving of my soul is completed. The suffering of the body is only a small burden compared to what I have escaped in the afterlife by Jesus Christ's kind and gentle and generous mercy -- by his Kindness, Compassion, Justice, and Faithfulness, he has saved me from the fire of Hell by giving me life so that I can no longer die. My body is mortal regardless of the duration of its lifetime, but God has kept both my body and my soul safe from Hell. -- This is what the people do. They make weapons of increasing destruction, agents of evil, and then try to sell these evil things to the nations, to those who have large amounts of money. When a nation refuses to entertain their evil schemes, the people threaten to sell the weapons to their enemies instead. So the people use fear tactics to manipulate the nations into participating in their evil schemes, so that they can secure a selfish monetary gain and exacerbate their control over the nations. And their hearts are never satisfied, always wanting more money, so they see that they have won evil victories over the nations and keep mongering fear and the resulting terror through sowing evil weapons among the nations and seeds of evil thoughts and actions among the people. Jesus Christ said, "Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." So these evil people -- those who attempt to sell weapons -- should be, and will be, killed with their own weapons. A just nation executes those who sell weapons before those seeds of evil are allowed to grow and corrupt their land and oppress their people. If a weapons dealer enters a country, they should be executed on sight. Anyone in possession of a weapon must have the weapon removed and that person be exiled. Their weapon should be destroyed. And any individual who tries to sell a weapon or a tool with the purpose of it being abused as a weapon should be imprisoned and tried in court with intent to murder. And any individual or group of people that practices the sale of weapons must be immediately killed without right to trial, because they have shown a desire to spread evil to destroy a nation from the inside. But if they ask for forgiveness, then they must be forgiven; as part of their punishment, they should be imprisoned and then face hard labor or community service, and face solitary confinement and be forced to attend a church gathering. And after their period of intended repentance, if they are unwilling to change their evil ways and reject murder mongering, they must be killed with the weapons they intended to sell to the people, because they intended to destroy the world, to destroy all life. Because they delighted in practicing evil, they will face the same evil. Will they say, "God saves" and "God forgives"? God said, "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." Anyone who rejects God's forgiveness out of self-loathing is still being taught by God and God is being patient with them. But anyone who by their words and actions attempts to cleverly or in a sly way reject Jesus Christ is already condemned to Hell and must be killed because they are a weed. Anyone who admits that Jesus Christ is better than they are and repents privately to God might be forgiven. But a person who, after being given time to repent of evil, continues to practice it, must face discipline. And before an individual is allowed to destroy a nation and oppress its people with seeds of evil -- weapons -- the person who draws the sword must die by the sword. If a person is allowed to exercise evil, what will happen to that nation? Are our memories and historical records that short, that we are forced to neglect learning from our past mistakes and bad decisions? How many times does a person have to harm themselves before they learn to reject evil? A person who harms themselves once is stupid and requires discipline. A person who harms themselves twice is a fool for having rejected discipline. All that an afflicted individual must do is repent of their evil ways and listen to Jesus Christ. -- Do you want man to admire your works and you not admire God's works? -- Me: Medication is not a solution. Smoking and alcohol and other toxic substances cause stress on your body, and water helps to remove pollutants from your body. Them: I'm drinking lots of water. And plants infussions, sis makes big pots of that every day. Me: Antioxidants also help to remove pollutants from your body. Sleep also helps to remove pollutants from your body. Them: And Im' thinking to try again to quit smoking, give it my best try. Lungs doc said I should quit, before it impacts on lungs irreversibly (aka, before I get on inhalator, like old people). Me: You limit potential by your imagination. Potential is infinite, because God is good. One does not try. One either does or does not based upon their imagined limitations. "With man this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible." Them: And if I go abroad now with sis's 2 vouchers, to Bulgaria and Austria for a few days, it might be perfect opportunity to quit, especially since cigs there are pretty expensive, and I don't think it would be ok to go there with the contraband cigs I buy for way cheap from local bazaar. Me: Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do. What do you think God can do? Them: You say often to drink lots of water, cuz it helps for lots fo things. Is drinking water the same/ has same effect as drinking plants infussions? Well, maybe I should put my faith in God that He can help me get rid of smoking once and for all? Instead of putting faith on trying to do it only on my own? Maybe that will help more, having God as ally in my struggle to quit smoking? Me: Do you believe that God wants you to keep smoking, or do you believe that God wants you to not inhale toxic smoke? Them: I do belive God would like to see me quit ... And if I put my faith in Him to help me quit, He will help me. umm I never thought of it this way, tbt. I always saw myself as alone in the struggle to quit smoking ... Me: "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me. I am always with you and I will never leave you. Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Them: Thanks. You made me see quitting smoking from a totally different perspective. :smiley: And you made me realize that I am not completely alone when trying to fight the tabacco addiction. :smiley: Me: "Blessed are you, Simon son of John, because this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in Heaven." You are blessed because this was not revealed to you by me, but by Jesus Christ. -- Me: ... Dear fellow believers in Jesus Christ, I have written many things from God. "They will all be taught by God. Whoever listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me. This is his will: that I will not lose any of all that he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes the one who sent him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." I invite you to read some of what I have written. And to all people who take God seriously and read this sentence, this is what The Most Revered Holy Spirit says in your behalf: "I will have Justice in the end. In the end, I will have justice." Them: Hi! *waving* .................. Me: This is what The Sovereign Lord says to all people: "Repent of evil. It is the path of Justice. If you repent of evil, then you will improve. You cannot improve while you are still hurting yourself. Repent and live. Turn aside from evil ways, because I want you to not be destroyed, but to prosper in contrition in my sight. I did not create you to work, but to know me and trust me, that I am your God and do everything." Let Jesus Christ be your Righteousness and Salvation. Understand! Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything! "If you cling to my words and keep what I say, then you will not suffer, because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire. If anyone does not accept my words, they will be punished." The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a Father disciplines the child in whom he delights. -- So much misinformation. Jesus Christ said, "Pray that [these things] will not take place in winter or on the sabbath, because then there will be great distress unequaled since the beginning of the world and never to be equaled again. If The Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time, if anyone says to you, 'Here is the Christ' or 'There he is', do not believe them. Many false christs will come and deceive many. ..." 1) How does it get to be so bad? 2) "Your Kingdom come" is part of The Lord's Prayer, and Jesus Christ said, "The Kingdom of God does not arrive with your careful observation, nor do you say 'here it is' or 'there it is' because the Kingdom of God is within you [and among you]" and Jesus Christ said, "I am sending you another Counselor: the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot know him, for it neither sees nor understands him, but you will know him because he will be in you and among you." 3) It is assumed nowadays that God's Kingdom will be on Earth, and that Christianity will proliferate throughout the world and prosper. But Jesus Christ, King Truth, said, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my Kingdom is from another place. [...] You are correct in saying that I am a king. In fact, this is why I entered the world and was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." And Jesus Christ hid himself from those who wanted to come and make him king by force. He told them instead, "I am telling you the truth: you are not looking for me because you saw the miracles that I performed, but because you ate the loaves, filling your stomachs with bread. Do not work for food that spoils but for food that endures to eternal life, which The Son of Man will give you. God has placed his Seal of Approval on him." (John 6:26-27). Furthermore, when one of his disciples tried to carry out his own agenda of making Jesus Christ a worldly king, Jesus Christ called him Satan: "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests but men's interests." And then Jesus spoke to the other people standing there, and said, "If anyone wants to be my student, that person must lay down their lifestyle goals, take up their cross, and follow me. What good will it be for a person to gain the entire world, and yet forfeit themselves? What could a person possibly give to buy back their own soul? The Son of Man will return in his Father's glory with his holy angels, and then he will reward each person according to what that person has done. In fact, there are some who are standing here right now who will not see death before they see the Kingdom of God come with power. If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this wicked and adulterous generation, The Son of Man will be ashamed of them; if anyone disowns me before men, I will disown that person before my Father and his angels; if anyone acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge them before my Father and his angels. Do not believe that I have come to bring peace and consensus on Earth. I did not come to bring consensus, but division..." Nowadays, there is a spiritual plague commonly identified as narcissism. "But in the last days, people will be lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God..." Psychologists want to diagnose this as a personality disorder, and they call it NPD. But as an individual taught by God, I see this as yet another attempt by multiple evils to destroy mankind: arrogance, greed (selfishness), and the insecure unwillingness to trust God. Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust God. Yet when I share a small fraction of the great wisdom and understanding Jesus Christ teaches me throughout my time on his footstool, I get what I call "the wall of rejection". "It is because they have hardened their hearts that they do not understand." Recently, I said to some children great wisdom and understanding to do good for them, but it was not until I gave them a worthless trinket that they desired did they even pay attention to the simplest statements that I said to them in triplicate, simpler each time. Only after they saw that they were getting the nonsense they asked for did they finally concede that maybe I knew what I was talking about. Only after they had their fill of the loaves did they finally start paying attention. And this is how people are: you give them the garbage they want, good or bad, and all of a sudden their ears open and they finally actually start listening. Why? Greed and unbelief has convinced them to erect a wall of rejection until their stubborn desires are met. "I won't believe that God exists until I get what I want," is essentially their thoughts and all their ways. Don't they realize that God "holds in his hand your path and all your ways"? "Seek first the Kingdom of God and then everything else you need will be given to you." God gives generously and without limit. And I even said this to them, but they could not understand what I was saying. God prevented them from comprehending my words -- his words -- in their heart, because they wanted what they wanted, even though it was worthless. So give a dog a bone and then you will have his attention. That is this adulterous and unbelieving generation that God puts up with. "Oh adulterous and unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay among you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." -- Them: A local man was arrested in a nationwide operation targeting online child sex offenders, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. "Operation Broken Heart" targeted suspected online child sex offenders during a three-month, nationwide operation between March and May. "No child should ever have to endure sexual abuse," said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "And yet, certain forms of modern technology have facilitated the spread of child pornography anf created greater incentives for production." According to Sessions, more than 2,300 alleged child sex offenders have been arrested nationwide, and 25,200 sexual abuse complaints have been investigated. https://www.wral.com/operation-broken-heart-2-300-suspected-child-sex-offenders-arrested/17623721/ Me: Now they can take it off the television. This world is becoming a brothel of prostitutes. And they ruin everything they touch, including music. https://i.imgur.com/I0ih0z5.mp4 God won't destroy the world by water anymore. God will instead destroy the world by fire. The world was completely destroyed in the days of Noah because the people engaged only in evil, and God was disgusted and disappointed. During The Last Days, the world will again descend into evil, and God will again be disgusted and disappointed. What do you think will happen on The Last Day? Why do you think it is called "The Last Day"? Yet again, mankind will engage in war (murder), adultery (lust), and selfishness (narcissism). You can see how each generation backslides into the same crooked ways, the women prostituting their bodies to attract men for whom they lust ("Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."), and men being provoked by further evil into destroying each other, often out of envy and lust. But no, let's teach kids that God doesn't exist. Let's have another dark ages, shall we? Sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? You go ahead and keep doing what your ancestors did, neglecting God's discipline, and you go on ahead and cause the end of the world, I'll just sit back and let all that happen and do nothing to say anything against you or criticize you. I don't want to hurt your feelings. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and neglected to keep my commands. If only you had obeyed my commands, your peace would be like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Return to me, and I will return to you. I am a jealous God. Bring your entire heart to me in prayer. Test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. You will have plenty of food. And I will heal your hearts, your minds, and your land." Do not steal. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love all people as if they were you, as I have loved you, in the same way you want me to treat you. "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away, because it is better for you to enter life with one hand than to be thrown fully intact into Hell. If your left eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye [where you can be healed] than to be thrown fully intact into Hell, where 'the worm does not cease and the fire does not go out'." And "watch yourselves; if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for that individual to have their neck tied to a millstone and be thrown into the sea". I think we should all tie millstones around the necks of those television studios who knowingly broadcast lewdness for our little impressionable children to see, to attract them to evil sin. If you think this is an inappropriate course of action, then I say that you are not taking God seriously and you also are guilty of disrespecting God's Son, Jesus Christ. But "sex is big business," isn't it? "Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light, because their deeds were evil. Whoever hates the light will not step into it out of fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." How will we as a nation and as families ever compete with proselytized prostitution? The short answer is this: mankind will lose this battle, but Jesus Christ has already won the war; in fact, his blood won the fight, there is no more battle, just listen to him, his commandments are solid, trust just in his Might. Will their narcissism continue when their bodies are dead corpses serving as bile-bloated, pockmarked fish food? How "hot" will they be when they are burning in Hell? -- All that a person must do in life is listen to Jesus Christ and learn from him. And each day is new. -- Lust is an open door to suffering. No matter how handsome or sexy that doorman or stewardess is, by walking towards that door, you are giving into stupidity, walking right into harm's way, stepping right in front of that train, putting your hand right on that stove burner, doing something that will cause you such pain and suffering that you will regret for your entire life and the rest of your existence. I mean, it's enough to make a person want to murder everyone who they find sexually attractive, to keep themselves from that malice of lust. But the problem is a matter of the heart, and Jesus Christ is the heart doctor. If you find yourself in a bad situation with your heart, pray to God who is within Jesus Christ, and he will alleviate the matter instantaneously so that all is well again. He said, "Love your neighbor as if they were you." In such a situation, pray for that person's well-being and move on. And this might be a physical sign that you need to use the toilet or bathe to remove the physical bacteria off of your skin. Or perhaps drink some water and sleep. The problem is not overcoming sexual desire, but praying for the person's well-being and letting God handle all your problems how he knows they should be properly resolved. If this means that you have to masturbate until you know better, then trust God and masturbate, and some day you will know better, because he will teach you what your desire cannot possibly comprehend. In fact, lust is a distraction from God, as are accusations (Satan means accuser) a distraction from understanding that God loves you more than you know and defends you from threats you know nothing about. Don't lust, trust. And I already proved to you in my previous post here one way in which you massively hurt many innocent people by engaging in adultery. Not only this, but you massively hurt people who are yet born who are even remotely related to that evil act. "But it doesn't hurt anyone," is exactly the words Satan is whispering into your ear as he smiles at the knowledge that you will destroy yourself like a samurai performing seppuku on his sword. But Jesus Christ is always with you. "I will never leave you," says The Sovereign Lord. "No one can remove you from my hand. My Father, who has given you to me, is greater than all. No one can remove you from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." You do not need to engage with treacherous, self-poisoning, self-depraved weeds who want to choke you to death, suffocating you with evil thoughts and desires to destroy yourself in the pursuit of gratifying their own perverse desires. They will burn. "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you follow me." Do not steal. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as if they were you. Do to others what you want God to do to you. Read Jesus Christ's words. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free from enslavement to sin. "Go now and leave your life of sin." All you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ. Put the blinders on, sit in silence in a private location (not a public location), and invest all your understanding and attention in learning from him. THEN we're talking. Don't be afraid, because even all your thoughts in your heart he will answer every day of your life. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Every since the time of your ancestors, your people have been rebelling against me and neglecting my decrees. Return to me with all your heart and I will return to you. You are robbing me of what belongs to me. Bring to me all your heart in prayer; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing upon you that you will not know what to do with it all. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops; you will have plenty of food. All the nations will call you favored and blessed, because by doing this, I will heal your hearts and your land." Lust is a burden. "Come here to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my guidance is easy and my workload is light." And when you suffer, keep watch for his return on the clouds of the sky as he described. But for me, simply knowing that I am severely hurting many innocent people has prevented me from engaging in such activities. -- Fear "My power is made pure in weakness." God is more fearsome than all the scary things combined. God makes the scary things afraid. There is great safety with God. "No one can come to The Father except through me. I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my Hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." "Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust God and me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you; and if I go there to prepare a place for you, that means that I will also come back and take you there so that you may be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. I am the way to God, the truth from God's mouth, and the life with God. No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore also know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Don't you recognize me, even after I have been among you all this time? Why do you say, 'Show us The Father'? Don't you believe that the Father is in me and I am in the Father? The words I speak to you are not from me but belong to the Father who is doing his work from within me. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does; but if you do not believe me, then if I am doing what my Father does, believe based upon the miracles which testify about me, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father. Believe me when I say that the Father is in me and I am in the Father; or at least believe me based upon the evidence of the miracles that The Father has done through me. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing, and will do more than I have done, because I am returning to The Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name [God Saves, God's Salvation] so that The Son may bring glory to The Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. If you love me, you will obey my commands. And I will ask The Father and he will give you another counselor to be with you now and forever: The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, but you know him because he lives with you and is and will be in and among you. I will not leave you as abandoned orphans; before long, I will come back to you -- the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day, you will finally realize that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the person who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will also love him and show myself to him. If anyone loves me, they will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words that you hear are not my own, they belong to The Father who sent me. All this I have been saying to you while still with you, but The Counselor, The Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my Name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have said to you. He will not speak on his own, but only what he hears from me. I leave you my Peace. I do not give to you as the world gives.* Do not let your heart be troubled; do not be afraid." * Jesus Christ and God has shown that he is not giving to take away in the manner that Job lamented, as recorded in Job 1:21, as Job said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." Jesus Christ's Peace is the fact that a person is saved when that person believes in God through Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ's Peace is present forever. "I will never leave you," says The Sovereign Lord. "Even now I am with you, guiding you and protecting you from all harm, even harm that you cannot perceive. And when I do show you those temporary things that are harmful, I only show them to you so that you will grow in Faith and learn to Trust me. No one can remove you from My Hand. You cannot be removed from my protection and care. I am God and I am the only savior; there is no one who can do what I do. I exercise Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, as you should exercise gentle mercy, improvement, and faithfulness that I give you according to how you must then give to others, so learn to trust me through obeying my commands, because I delight in these things." "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." (This is a reference to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being thrown into the fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar.) No words to describe the love of my life. He is grander than the Earth, More wondrous than all the contents of the Universe, More beautiful than a shining rainbow, More intimate than a best friend or lover. He is stronger than the planets, Brighter than all the stars combined. Wiser than all the oldest minds, Steadier than the laws of nature. More good than all morality, Kinder than the holiest saint. More patient than the test of time, More just than all the schools of men. His compassion is beyond defining, All people yearn to see his Hand. Those who hear rejoice to know him, His very word defines Existence. He separates the living from the dead, All things are possible with him. All creatures tremble at his voice, He cures and cleans and protects the needy. The suffering of men he causes to cease, He is even merciful to the wicked. A day of judgment he has in mind, When his enemies will be punished forever. -- Luke 7:40-50 "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me, Teacher," he said. "Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?" Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said. Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven -- because she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." So what comes first, forgiveness or love? Jesus Christ explained here that when a person wants to be forgiven, they love. Forgiveness comes before love; first, a person is forgiven, and then they love to the extent of which they have been forgiven. The woman was not forgiven until she loved. First forgiveness, then love. The woman showed that she wanted forgiveness, the first step, so she showed love, the second step. Sometimes people show love to you because they want God to forgive them. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice," and the purpose of the sacrificial lamb was to please God by sharing your food that you needed with others. The woman showed that she wanted the first step by doing the second step. "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts; what is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." Men value boldness and talking highly of their own deeds in order to gain honor in the perception of their fellow servants; but "they have received their reward in full". It is honor from God that is important, because he seeks glory for himself and is The Judge. The woman humbled herself and showed love because she wanted to be forgiven of her many sins. Jesus Christ and God knew exactly how many sins she had accumulated against her life. Also notice Jesus Christ's body language in this situation. And of course, the other guests, who did not respect him as God's Son, spoke out in surprise at Jesus Christ doing what God does. Is it possible to love without being forgiven? "If you love me, you will obey my commands. And I will send you another Counselor, The Spirit of Truth. [...]" Jesus also said, "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me, but they are coming from The Father." If you do not sin (if you reject evil actions such as evil thoughts and evil words), then you are showing love to God by obeying his Commandments. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands." If you actually do not need to be forgiven because you have not done evil, as Jesus Christ described, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in Heaven regarding one sinner who repents than regarding ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent," then you love Jesus Christ through obedience to God. If you sin, and then you do what God wants by repenting (rejecting evil) through obeying Jesus Christ, then you will be showing love. Jesus Christ explained the manner and extent of loving remediation that was taking place, and he accepted it, because it pleased God, who alone is good. The meaning of life is to obey God. Potential is infinite because God alone is good, and "With man, this is impossible, but with God, everything is possible." If God makes it so, then it is so. -- I don't like statistics, but if you want to talk statistics, then let us talk statistics. Statistically, Christians: - are happier - have greater understanding - are more loving - are more patient - are smarter - do more work to improve the lives of others, do more help for others, and give more of themselves and what they have - are more innovative and creative - succeed more - have fewer mistakes - know more - live longer - have more surviving and healthier children - do more good - are more humble - experience more miracles - have more fulfilling lives - are more blessed - better persevere among difficulty or hardship - inherit more - are more pure in heart - are persecuted more - are kinder, more just, and more righteous - are more faithful - are more honest - are more compassionate, merciful, and generous - have better and more definitive hope - better do what God does - bring more peace to Earth - make more people genuinely happy - are better leaders - work better in teams - are less susceptible to manipulation - experience more problems that miraculously benefit themselves and everyone else - are more faithful to, and do more help for, their family members - say and do more of that which supports other people's families - better reinforce and build up others to succeed, and delight more in seeing other people genuinely succeed - see and hear more; perceive more - have a healthier body, mind, heart, and soul - are more resistant to corruption, and have better integrity - are more trustworthy - keep their word more - retaliate less - have more love for their enemies - know God better - are more disciplined and have better guidance - are more free and experience actual freedom more - improve the entire world more - experience more insightful revelations - hurt themselves and others less - are more genuine and legitimate - perceive larger perspective and make better conclusions - are more curious and insightful - better understand that they are not the star of the show, but are instructed and guided to serve ...than non-Christians. If you ask a Christian to what they attribute all these things and what makes all these things happen, they will unanimously give the same answer: Jesus Christ and God. Remember those statistics the next time you hear someone say "persecute the Christians", because then you will realize that to persecute a Christian is to hurt yourself, all those you care about, your society, your friends and family, your neighborhood or community, the person standing next to you, your country and your nation, other nations, the world, and your God and Creator who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. -- In situations of adversity, with riots and mobs, such as depicted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cMYfxOFBBM Consider: The vulgarity reveals unrefined capacity to understand or see the correct path (due to being undisciplined), and communicate. They do not see hope because they do not want to understand. They do not want to understand because they want to speak and not listen. And they want to speak without listening because their hearts overflow out of lack of knowledge of wisdom and hope. So the solution to all this, and the means to successfully communicating with them and bringing reason to them is to bring wisdom to the table and give them wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge that is important to the well-being of life. Tell them wisdom calmly and consistently -- "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors, you have rebelled against me and neglected my Commands. Return to me, and I will return to you. Bring to me your entire heart in prayer. Test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. I will heal your heart and your land, and you will have plenty of food..." "If only you had obeyed my Commands, your peace would be like a river. Your righteousness would be like the waves of the sea." But these riots are the result of parents refusing to listen to God and refusing to raise their children to understand and know God, "who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." I suspect that the college does not want to involve police or the national guard because they think that intellect or reason will win out in this situation. Actually, the students need God. It is a lack of discipline from God that causes riots and angry mob activity such as this. I can see that they reject calmness, because they need God's Peace and Grace and Gentleness, not man's words, but God's words: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my guidance is easy and my burden is light." I think it is time already that the intellectuals of this world are humbled. "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his wisdom, but let whoever boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because I delight in these things." Kindness is mercy and compassion as Jesus Christ demonstrated, Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation as Jesus Christ did, and Righteousness is faithfulness to God who alone is good as Jesus Christ is. In fact, Jesus Christ is Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. That you suffer these consequences on your campus is proof that you have neglected Jesus Christ -- and that these young people have not known God and Jesus Christ. But the young woman who expressed anxiety obviously has some knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, and will therefore succeed. Statistics about Christians: https://pastebin.com/u4uRw9nB "What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but it is what comes out of a man's mouth that makes him unclean. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. From within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. These are what come out of a person's mouth and make them 'unclean'. But eating with unwashed hands does not make a person 'unclean'." "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." It is obvious to me that this school needs to teach its students about God and Jesus Christ by teaching them what God and Jesus Christ has said and done. Then they wouldn't have these riots of unreasonable, unrefined young adults. God alone is good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Why do we ignore Jesus Christ? Only the arrogant, or fools, ignore Jesus Christ and God who is Lord of Heaven and Earth. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and righteousness rather than burnt offerings." -- I have learned a valuable lesson today: if an unreasonable response is given once, even twice, then a third time attempting to reason will also fail. In fact, I have learned to avoid all correspondence and involvement with individuals who make unjust or unreasonable statements. It's too bad that I have to fail the world and the future for the stubborn arrogance of most.

Love, do good, bless, and pray for. These are right actions in the face of wrongdoing. Do good despite the presence of evil. God alone is good. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. "If someone strikes you on one cheek, offer them the other cheek also. If someone takes your jacket, do not stop that individual from additionally taking your shirt. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you." Remember, it is what God and Jesus Christ thinks that matters. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. What is it to anyone how long they live, or in what measure of comfort? Those things are ultimately and absolutely out of the control of all. The only one who controls such matters is God and Jesus Christ, "who holds in his hand your life and all your ways". Have you seen people cling to comfort only to lose it? Have you see people carefree and yet successful? "Do not worry about your life... you cannot make even one hair white or black, or make yourself live a day longer or grow an inch taller. If you cannot do any of these very little things by worrying, why bother worrying about the rest?" (Paraphrased.) "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners', expecting to be repaid in full. [Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and teachers of the Law, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.] Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of The Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful just as your Father is merciful." (Luke 6:27-36). -- Looking at his students, he said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of The Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets. Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you..." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "Whoever listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all those he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and learns from him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- God said to me, "I love you." Do not defend yourselves among men. Daniel 3:16 -- https://biblehub.com/daniel/3-16.htm https://soundcloud.com/liquid-lightning/relativism-by-chris-stefanick ^ "...because people don't know that life has any inherent meaning." Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored. But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus. -- To be clear, pornography is a sexual crime. "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." Listen to Jesus Christ. Repent and believe this good news: "Whoever looks to the Son of Man and believes the one who sent him, has eternal life and can no longer die, but I will raise them up during the Last Day." Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as if they were you; do to others what you would want them to do to you [as you want God to do to you]. "Trust is the bottom line." -- Christopher Stefanick "Faith is not a topic. Faith is a relationship. It's that kind of relationship that underlies my who relationship with my children. Look, they can explain in a thousand ways why they can be sure daddy did not poison their cereal this morning. Right? But they don't need to. Because they know me, and I know them. Trust is the bottom of it all. You guys -- because faith is not a concept, it's a relationship with a living God. It's a relationship." "Trust in the mercy of God... Life has meaning and purpose that nothing can take away." "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:31-32). -- Me: "Not even a bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Do not be afraid; even every hair on your head is assigned a number." The entire life of a person is acceptable in that God "holds in his hand your life and all your ways". I hope you understand that you should accept whatever happens to you and others on account of the fact that God is in control and "I do nothing without reason". There is only one who is good. People do not think! They do not realize that God protects them from all kinds of harm they know nothing about at every moment. When God demands my life back from me, I must accept that, because I know that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." The name "Jesus" means "God saves". "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. I am not saying that I will ask my Father on your behalf. Instead, my Father will love you because you believed in his only son. If you love me, you will obey my commands. Remain in me and I will remain in you." Say a person were to live a life of torment. Similar to Jesus Christ. That would not happen unless God wanted it to happen. And God makes things happen only for his own reasons. "My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways. As the heavens (stars, planets, etc.) are higher than The Earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and my ways higher than your ways."(edited) Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. So the question becomes, what is a person supposed to do? "What is the work that God requires of us?" "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. This is for my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, revealing that you are my disciples. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. I am not saying that I will ask my Father on your behalf. Instead, my Father will love you because you believed in his only son. If you love me, you will obey my commands. Remain in me and I will remain in you. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything and I will do it. Whoever remains in me and I in them will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing." Them: I will pray from now on and ask God to heal me from my illness, if it is in His plans to do so. I always believed that there is no cure, no way out from it, till death. Thanks to the conversation with you, now I am convinced and believe the contrary: that God and Jesus Christ can heal me if I pray to Them and if I put my trust and faith in Them. Me: "O great King Nebuchadnezzar, live forever! We do not need to defend ourselves in this matter, and the God we serve is able to save us from your hands. But even if he does not, we want you to know, great king, that we will not bow down and worship your idols or this image of gold you have set up for yourself." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+3&version=NTLR -- "I have loved you," says The Lord. People are as infants before the Lord. Some are stubborn and whine that they want to do what they want to do and do not regard God's commands. These are not God's children and they lack special purpose. This is why they believe that their lives are meaningless. Their lives are meaningless because they have not been sanctified (set apart for special purpose) by the truth, as Jesus Christ explained. Other infants learn from God and grow by being disciplined by the truth. Their lives have true purpose and meaning. They understand that the meaning of life is to obey God. They are blessed (taught by God) and clean because of Jesus Christ's words; such an individual is a god because he has accepted Jesus Christ as his righteousness and salvation. "If only you had obeyed my commands, your peace would be like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "Whoever listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day. Whoever comes to me, I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me, which is that I will not lose any of all those he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. My Father's will is that none shall perish if they look to the Son of Man and believe in him because I will raise them up during the Last Day." -- Them: Good morning. :smiley: 90.3 kilos today! :smiley: Yay! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Me: "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgement is correct, because I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." "The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. May the name of the Lord be praised." şi a zis: "Gol am ieşit din pântecele mamei mele şi gol mă voi întoarce în sânul pământului. Domnul a dat şi Domnul a luat. Binecuvântat fie Numele Domnului!" (Job 1:21). "I give you my Peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid." The Lord gave you weight, and the Lord is taking it away. Think of the wondrous acts of God. -- Mark 10:35-45 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask." "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?" "We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared." When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Notice what Jesus Christ said first. Instead of agreeing immediately to their request (even though he already knew what they would say), he asked them what they wanted him to do for them. In the Bible, a recurring problem with rulers is that they agree to something before knowing that to which they are agreeing; in their arrogance of thinking that they could demonstrate power by agreeing to anything, they are also foolish. Arrogance is an evil that thus has led them into another evil: folly. Jesus Christ saying what he said here is interceding for this problem. Notice what Jesus said next. The people in front of him said something... which one might call "stupid". But instead of calling them stupid, Jesus calmly enlightened them with a simple statement without going into detail: "You do not know what you are asking." And his next statement reveals that the Kingdom of God consists of servants, not rulers. "Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the Earth." Yet James and John persisted, saying that they wanted to face all that persecution... so Jesus told them it would happen, but that their request is entirely up to God, not based upon man's desires. And then Jesus revealed the contrast between earthly kingdom behaviors and The Kingdom of Heaven. There is additional insight in the context of the contents of the rest of Mark chapter 10. -- Dear Friends: In the course of every human struggle, there are sides taken and mantras asserted. But the only one who is good has explained, "I, The Lord, do not change." Listen to Jesus Christ. Sincerely, GXV -- Me: I just got a new term for what Halo Maps Forum members did to me.

"Why do you mention God?" https://biblehub.com/2_timothy/3-16.htm The people who ask those questions do not understand that God is not a figment of their imagination or an idea, but a real being who a person comes to know and serve. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." "God disciplines those he loves, as a Father disciplines the child in whom he delights." If you are never disciplined, you will never be smart. Is that what you want? So much chaos because people don't listen to God and Jesus Christ. All you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ! "If only you had obeyed my commands, your peace would be like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." -- The stupidity of mankind! Perpetuated by narcissism, an agent of folly and arrogance, they destroy themselves and others, exactly what Satan wants them to do. Greed and deceit seek to steal, kill, and destroy. These evils come from men's hearts, as Jesus Christ explained. And the sheer stupidity and evil of mankind gives me even more proof that no one could have falsified God's words, so obviously beyond the greatest minds of foolish men. Foolish people. So easily deceived by greed and arrogance, so easily blinded by narcissism and folly. Have we so easily forgotten who is in control?

All these evils come from the heart and make a man unclean." (Mark 7:20-23). "I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement, in danger of the fire of Hell." "Forgive, and you will be forgiven. If you do not forgive your brother when he sins against you, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you of your sins." "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Do to others what you want God to do to you. Are you angry with someone? Whatever harm you could possibly imagine doing to them, infinitely worse will be done to them by God, and also to you if you do not forgive them from your heart. If you have a difficulty forgiving, ask Jesus Christ to forgive them for you. Vengeance is The Lord's. Fear God, "who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." Pray for your enemies. -- The reason that God loves you is because of Jesus Christ, not because of you. Any distance from God is within Jesus Christ's reach of redemption and forgiveness. Isn't it wonderful how a person is not responsible for their own future? "Why do you fear men, who are a mere breath and are like grass, yet you forget your maker who holds in his hand your life and all your ways?" "Do not fear mortal men who reproach without understanding and insult without knowledge of kindness, justice, and righteousness which are my ways above their ways as the stars are higher than earth. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body and cannot harm you further. I will tell you who to fear: fear the one who, after your body dies, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Don't humans sell birds for cheap prices? However, not even such a seemingly worthless bird will fall to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Do not be afraid, because you are much more valuable than birds; even every hair on your head is assigned a number." "Jesus Christ" means the anointed one of God's forgiving salvation. "I know that his words lead to eternal life. Therefore, everything that I say is exactly what the Father has told me to say. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does; the Father is in me, and I am in the Father. I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just like the Father knows me and I know the Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one. The words I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some of you who do not believe; this is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day." "If your eye causes you to sin, remove it and discard it, because it is better for you to enter life with one eye than to be thrown intact into Hell. Do not reject one of these little ones. Your Heavenly Father is not willing that they should be lost; and their angels always see the face of your Heavenly Father. The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick; I did not come to call those who are already righteous, but to redeem sinners through repentance. I tell you the truth: if anyone keeps my word, they will never see death." "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; whoever looks to [me] and believes the one who sent [me] has eternal life. I am the resurrection and the life -- whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? [...] Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" "What are we supposed to do? What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked Jesus. Jesus replied, "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "My Father's will is that I shall not lose any of all those he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear [but are trying to kill me as your father, the Devil, was a murderer and the father of lies from the beginning, not holding to the truth, but whose native language is lies] is because you do not belong to God." "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are demon-possessed?" they asked him. "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself [unlike you who only honor yourselves and dishonor God in your hearts], but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. You quote and cite Abraham. I am saying that Abraham longed to see my presence; he saw it and he was glad. Yes, before Abraham was born, I am!" "This is my Son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" So you can clearly see that being kept safe is not merit-based. In fact, the judgments of men only distract from God's love. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God does and can do, which is anything. "Who then can be saved?" his disciples asked him. Jesus replied, "With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." Therefore, in order to understand, one must change in their heart. In order to improve, one must become healthy in their soul. And all this is granted through Jesus Christ, not through the pains of the body and the striving of the soul. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and ignored my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." God loves you because of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ does not change. Therefore, God loves you forever: "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." - Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. [Later:] I forgot to nail the lid shut. "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and ignored my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." God loves you because of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ does not change. Therefore, God loves you forever: "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." Therefore, the nails that held his hands to the wood are also the nails on the lid of the coffin of questions of whether God actually loves you, or whether you are destined to fail in misery. And the matter has long since been laid to rest, because he brought himself back to life from the hole in the ground and "from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Mighty One". "Because I live, you also will live." "Righteous Father, I want them to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the world began. The world does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I have made you known to them and I will continue to make you known to them, so that the love you have for me may be within them, and so that I myself may be within them." "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you; remain in me, and I will remain in you." Every living soul belongs to God, will be held accountable for their actions to God, and depends completely at all times upon God. Jesus Christ is God's Presence in Existence. "No one can come to the Father except through me." God holds Existence within himself, within Jesus Christ who is within the Father. "I am in the Father and the Father is in me." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Therefore, all wisdom and all good things come from God who alone is good. Why don't people believe? The reason a person stumbles over hurdles placed in front of them by evil is because they buy into the evil ways. Narcissism is wielded by arrogance and folly to deceive a person into ignoring the fact that God loves them not because of who they are but because of what God commanded Jesus Christ to do for you. So a narcissist is shown to look only at themselves, whereas Jesus Christ and God said, "Love one another as I have loved you." And arrogance and greed prevent a person from realizing the truth: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." All a person needs to do to live forever is listen to Jesus Christ. Evil will try every which way it can to deceive you into doing anything besides listening to Jesus Christ. "You are correct in saying that I am a king. In fact, this is why I entered the world and was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore also know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. The Father is in me and I am in the Father. If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words come from the Father, not from me. Whoever chooses to do God's will comes to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never turn away. I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all those he has given to me, but raise the up during the Last Day. I have chosen you out of the world, and that is why the world hates you. Remember that they hated me first. If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching; my Father will love him and we will come to him and make our home with him. I have informed you of these things so that you will not go astray. Mankind will reject you, and put you out of their synagogues and churches. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I tell you everything ahead of time. Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid. Instead, trust in God and in me." Therefore, life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. It would be a good idea to walk cooperatively along that journey before he demands your life back from you as was done as described in the record of Luke 12:13-21. For kindness, for love, for encouragement, for justice, for happiness, for peace. For God, for good, for joy, for you. Jesus Christ is the one to whom everyone needs you to listen [so that you do not act on evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, or folly from within your heart], but who has been telling you "listen to him" among the clamor of so many people crying out "listen to me"? But everyone who calls out day and night from their heart, "listen to me", crying it out to God and to man, needs in fact only to listen to Jesus Christ to find their well-being. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free from enslavement to sin." "We speak of what we know and we testify as to what we have seen, and yet still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you in Earthly terms and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak in Heavenly terms? Only the one who came from Heaven has gone back into Heaven; and only he has understood the Father. I did not come down from Heaven to condemn the world, but to save it through myself. I am the bread of life; the words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever -- my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink, not something that will make you hungry or thirsty again later. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." Well-being is at hand, and it is permanent. "Whoever believes has crossed over from death to life and can no longer die; I give you my Peace, and I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid." "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that those who listen to me may have life to the fullest." The Spirit of God gives freely and without limit. "Freely you have received, so freely give." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." And Jesus Christ gave himself to the world, knowing that most would reject him. "Enter through the small gate. Wide is the gate, and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. Small is the gate, and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Listen to Jesus Christ. Then he will be with you. Everyone needs God to be with them. And everyone around you is depending upon God being with them and is hoping that God is with you so that you are kept safe from committing evil, even though their mouths are shut about this most important matter, but wide open about all trivial matters of least resistance. "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore, I tell you that all the sins and blasphemies of man will be forgiven; whoever says a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this age or the next." After forgiving a guilty woman instead of condemning her, by interceding for her as Righteousness and Salvation, Jesus Christ said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life." He did not conclude his work until he led Justice to Victory. In his Name, the nations put their hope. Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation? "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. They will be filled." [name] - Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. -- The Law exists to serve Jesus Christ. -- The Lord showed me a glimpse of the wickedness of the end of the age and said, "When it takes shape, I will be there." -- "I have completed the work you gave me to do." "The work of God is to believe the one he sent." Jesus Christ has taken upon himself the entire responsibility of mankind's lifestyle, goals, hopes, potential, fulfillment, and workload. Listen to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Righteousness and Salvation; his merciful grace and faithfulness endures forever. Smart, disciplined, good people listen to Jesus Christ; "everyone on the side of truth listens to me". -- Reject the wrong and choose the right. Repent of evil and accept Jesus Christ's forgiveness. "After I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." "From within, out of a person's heart, come these evils that make that person unclean: evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. But what a person eats or drinks cannot make them unclean. It is what comes out of the overflow of their heart, what they say and do, that makes them unclean." (paraphrased) So repent of those evils, because evil leads to your death, and God's word is Spirit and Life freely given through Jesus Christ, God's forgiving savior for all who will listen to him and understand that God is in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is in God. "I know that his words lead to eternal life; therefore, everything I say and do is exactly what the Father tells me to say and do. I have much to say in judgement of this race, but the one who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world. The Son can do nothing on his own; he can only do what he sees his Father doing. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I am doing what my Father does and you do not believe me, then believe based upon the miracles so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." "Whoever believes has eternal life." "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean; but not all of you are clean -- this is to fulfill the Scripture, 'The one who has shared my bread has lifted up his heel against me'. I know those of you I have chosen. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him; but woe to the person who betrays the Son of Man! It would have been better for him if he had never been born." "Why do you ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the Commandments: do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you." Violence is bad for everyone involved. How does a person remain faithful to God and Jesus Christ? By fulfilling this: "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Faithfulness and compassion are the highest orders of mankind. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my Commands. My Father and I will make our home within them. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my Commands. These words belong to the Father; this is my Command: love one another as I have loved you. By this, all men will know that you are my students: if you love each other." "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Heavenly Father, who is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." Do good in the face of evil. "For I tell you that on the Day of Judgment, each human will be held accountable even for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be pardoned and by your words you will be condemned." "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess." God is faithful. "As the celestial objects are higher than the Earth, so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts and my ways higher than your ways." "I tell you, he will see that they get Justice [help, improvement], and quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth?" Do not threaten, use reason. "I do nothing without reason," says The Author and Maintainer of Existence, who is greater than all, and who everyone must fear. Do not teach young people diatribes. Teach compassion and truth in schools. God is the God of Truth and Jesus Christ is King Truth who said, "You are correct in saying that I am a king. In fact, this is why I was born and entered the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." So what was said by earlier speakers came true: "Salvation comes from The Lord." "You have one Father, and he is in Heaven, and you have one Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brothers. The greatest among you will be your servant. No one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless he is reborn of water and Spirit [Truth, Jesus Christ's words, Life]. Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. My Kingdom is not of this world." Consensus is unnecessary, because in fact Jesus Christ came to bring Justice through division rather than consensus. "I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Violence hurts everyone involved. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other." "The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life, but there are some among you who do not believe; this is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day... I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Be calm and understand that God is in control. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." As a friend told me once, Jesus Christ is always willing to help you. -- Let us imagine that the wayward imaginations of men became true: that, as in their computer games, the human race were enslaved to an alien race and forced into subjugation and persistent trauma. Even in such a situation, the Holy Spirit showed me that God would still teach his chosen ones through Jesus Christ, because God's word only works with Jesus Christ. God's word does not work with any other teacher or speaker or religious leader. Let me take an example to demonstrate this fact. "Love your neighbor as yourself," essentially meaning in the most simplistic manner as what Jesus Christ said his and God's command is: "love as I have loved you", in other words, do as has been done to you, is only congruent with "do to others as you would have them do to you" and "love your neighbor as if they were you" and "love your neighbor as yourself" when it is Jesus Christ's love that has been done to you in the first place. In other words, society cannot stand upon any foundation other than Jesus Christ's words, and individuals cannot stand upon any foundation other than Jesus Christ's words. That is because all other prophets are their own worst enemies: their words destroy themselves, so why should a person think their words help anyone else? If my words come from God, they do good to me and to you: "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" Yet even when subjected to torment and subjugation by Satan, bent over like that woman was who Jesus Christ healed after "eighteen long years" of her suffering, God still teaches through Jesus Christ. God is the God of Truth, which faithless individuals believe is imagined -- because they do not belong to God and because they think in their own worldly terms because they are worldly and desire to honor themselves by thinking in their own ways without regarding knowledge and to think that God is imagined honors themselves in their own minds because they are the ones who believe their own imaginations rather than knowledge of reality which would be listening to Jesus Christ who is Living Truth -- because Jesus Christ is Living Truth and "anyone who is not with me is against me" which is essentially saying that "everyone on the side of truth listens to me" because as Jesus Christ said, those who belong to God "have truth in them" as "My Father and I will make our home within them" and "The Holy Spirit will be within you and among you" and "My Kingdom is not of this world" but "The Kingdom of God is within you". "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches. To what else shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into over 20 liters of flour until it worked all through the dough." That is a portion large enough for many people to have. This is why righteous individuals are scattered throughout the world and not bunched together: so that there is enough food to feed the entire world's population. So the Son of Man scattered the wheat -- sent his own people he chose to serve the truth, to serve him and God, the sons of the Kingdom of God -- throughout the world. The weeds are the sons of Satan, the Devil, whose desire is to steal and murder and destroy, and those who do such things were scattered throughout the world by Satan, the Accuser. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, when people who knew of God and Jesus Christ proclaimed Truth to give those around them Eternal Life -- "and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent" -- as knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, when those who have seen speak, then those who reject knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, those who "have hated my Father and me without having reason or listening to reason", as Jesus Christ explained, come out of their hiding to place stumbling blocks before those who are seeking the path of eternal life: "Woe to you teachers of the law, because you are taking away the keys of knowledge and hindering those who are trying to enter the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves have not entered." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore also know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [The Father is in me and I am in the Father, his words are my words, and The Son can only do what he sees his Father doing.]" On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." If you do not understand what I am saying, then you are the victim of these facts: "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but [mortal] human interests," and "When anyone hears the message about the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart [so that he will not understand and live]. This is the seed sown along the path." (Matthew 13:19). The enemy does this because, as Jesus Christ explained, "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that my sheep might have life to the fullest. I know my sheep and my sheep know me, the same as my Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice. I give them eternal life. No one can snatch them out of my care. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's care. The Father and I are one." The solution to the problem of all bad things is and will only ever be Jesus Christ, who is the Savior of the World, who said, "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day," and then many turned away from him to pursue their own imagined agendas. What do you think that God thinks about human imagination after it has been abused so by fools? But God properly handles imagination. And furthermore, God knows everything, and "the good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart; out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." -- Heart, Mind, Soul, Will One Teacher: Christ, One Father: God in Heaven, People: Brothers Guidance, Education, Knowledge, Care, Growth, Sustain Family Love = Obey, Commands, Words, Perseverance, Faithfulness, Understanding, Peace Heart -> evil thoughts, sexual immorality... Heart -> bring from store Heart -> hard or soft, willing to understand? Heart -> treasure, value -> detestable [Heart], Mind -> eye is lamp of body Spirit, Flesh -> Life, Words, Belief, Weakness Words -> Voice, Listen, Eternal Life [Knowledge], Safety Peace -> Faith, Freedom, Relief, Well-being -> Justice [improvement] victorious -- Evil cannot separate you from God's care, but it can separate your heart, mind, and will from God's words, and through this lack of knowledge of Spirit and Life influence you to lose faithfulness to God and trust in God's words, and thereby bring death to your life. Jesus Christ said, "Simon, Satan has asked to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And after you have returned, reinforce your brothers." But Jesus Christ also said, "In this world you will have trouble, but have courage, because I have overcome the world." So put your trust in Jesus Christ who said, "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Lucifer is a deceiver who wants to destroy all mankind because he is the enemy of God because Satan has no truth in him and was a liar from the beginning, who, when he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies," as Jesus Christ, the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, has explained. "Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! Who among you can prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "The Father is in me and I am in the Father. Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I am doing what my Father does, then at least believe based upon the miracles, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father." "A time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." "If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now am here. You are doing the things your own father does. Your father is The Devil, a murderer and the father of lies, who, when he lies, speaks his native language." (these are paraphrased here). As music influences, so evil tries to influence, to make you believe or act as if God, your Creator, were your enemy. It is destructive: "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that my sheep may have life to the fullest." The Internet is a fine invention for spreading information, but who is spreading what is important in a suitable and succinct manner? Jesus Christ does. Listen to Jesus Christ. Read his words while you still can, before "the abomination that causes desolation" becomes present to become an evil cancer to keep people from thinking soundly. Even when it is impossible for people to do anything, nothing is difficult for God and Jesus Christ; "with man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible". God and Jesus Christ work. "My Father is always at work, and I am also working. The Son can do nothing on his own. He can do only what he sees his Father doing. All authority over Heaven and Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make students of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. I assure you that I am always with you, even until the very end of the age [this means until the end of Heaven and Earth, until the Last Day]." "Remain in me and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit on its own -- it must remain in the vine. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you will bear much fruit, for my Father's glory, showing that you are my disciples. Anyone who does not remain in me is like a dead branch that falls off and withers and is picked up and thrown into the fire." "Have salt in yourselves [persevering words from God] and be at peace with each other [Jesus Christ's Salvation Peace -- "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid." -- and understanding of God and Jesus Christ's words, which lead to knowing God and Jesus Christ, eternal life -- "I know that his words lead to life. Therefore, everything I say and do is exactly as my Father says and does." -- is what helps a person get along with other people. Because it is not about who the other person is, but about who God and Jesus Christ are.] Understanding and Peace yields proper coexistence. These two things can only come from God and Jesus Christ, God's Living Mouth and Hand and Son. "The Spirit gives Life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. But some among you do not believe. This is why I already told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, in which situation I will raise them up during the Last Day." "Man does not live exclusively upon physical food, but also upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." -- Death has been overcome by Jesus Christ's obedience to God's Command. Jesus Christ led Justice to victory. He is victorious because he obeyed God. "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." "I have authority to lay down my life and to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." What is Life? "I am the Way [to God], the Truth [from God] and the Life [with God]. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would therefore know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Don't you recognize me, even after I have been among you such a long time? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. The words I speak to you are not my own, but come from the Father; it is the Father living in me and doing his work. Whoever believes in me will do even more like I have been doing, because I am going to the Father. ..." You should understand that your lifetime is not about what you can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. That God chose to create you means that your existence has purpose; "I only do with reason," [to realize the double-negative of "I do nothing without reason"]. "He is not God of the dead, but of the living." -- Me: I am not stopping you from hating me. Go ahead and hate me with all you've got. What is that to me? Stop sinning. This message is for all of you who have treated others so badly over the years. The sooner you stop abusing each other, the sooner progress can begin. Your cold rudeness and disdain for good things is an impasse. You need help to get by this problem. You know who gives the help for all problems. Ease over the speed bump and be improved. Until then, you will leech and ruin instead of innovate and build. That's how the term "leechers" came about: people saw that both they and their work was being abused by brutal people who did not deserve what they took. Those kinds of people are quarantined into prisons. It is not enough to say "get along". You have had decades to "get along" and all you do is point fingers like Hitler pointed fingers at "the Jews". If you had known and adhered to God's Command, "do not cast blame; do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts do not think evil of each other," then you would not be in such a bad situation inside your heart. "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." But understanding of improvement is taken away from you by Satan, so that you will not believe and live forever. You have called friends enemies and enemies friends. That is why you destroy everything you touch and are ruled over by misery. [this web site forum] is not a community of saints, but if you want to know the truth of all reality and existence, and know what God wants you to know of all that is, listen to Jesus Christ. There is a saying that "That sound you hear is God laughing while you make plans." God does not "laugh" at the plans, because he says, "I do not delight in the death of anyone. Why should you die? Shouldn't you rather repent and live?" God's response is more like this: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/orly.png ...because you don't listen to him. This is not preaching but a call to improvement so that this community can improve with you still a part of it. What do you want me to do, reject you like every other hypocrite rejects their fellow man? If you want to be banned, why do you still post here? If you wanted to be banned, you would have simply stopped posting here and moved on long ago. If you want good things, accept facts. This is my final statement to you on this matter: be improved or go away. "Unless I wash you, you have no part in me." -- Death cannot remove suffering from you. Only God can do that. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." "There will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain, because the old order of things has passed away..." "He is not God of the dead, but of the living." "I know that his words lead to eternal life; therefore, everything I say is exactly as the Father tells me to say it." -- Trustworthiness Words are always true, accurate, succinct, insightful, intelligent, improving, gentle, honoring God, compassionate, from God, decent, not clandestine but spoken in full meaning of intentions publicly. Actions are always best, improving, worth teaching and demonstrating, selfless, honorable, loving, turn hearts to God, generous, inspiring, removing and preventing bad things by safety in God's care. -- I hear that you like talking about what people can do. So I will ask you about what you can do and what you do. Do you serve God? "And you will again see the distinction between those who serve God and those who do not." Maybe now you will be willing to accept that life is not about what people can do and do, but about what God can do and does. "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." The elephant in the room is the fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Make no reply to accusations. -- God showed me where joy is hidden. Faithfulness can feel burdensome, especially among persecution. Understand what it means that Jesus Christ is your Righteousness and Salvation. Understanding God's Covenant includes understanding that your fate is not about your faithfulness to God, but about God's faithfulness. The struggle involves fear of losing faith in God. But those rules no longer apply when Jesus Christ is your Righteousness. Remember that he said, "I, the Lord, do not change." Give him your burden of faithfulness, even though it seems absurd or unfaithful, even though you know that you are not worth his time or consideration. The reason to do this is because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. And you can do this because, "I, the Lord, do not change," and God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. That is where real joy is found -- that all your burdens of duty are relinquished and carried by Jesus Christ and God who alone is good, trustworthy, unchanging, and almighty -- as he said, "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid," and as he said, "Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." So he cleans, carries, and freely gives without limit. And he gave himself to "lay down his life for his friends," as he explained when he said, "you are my friends if you obey my commands; my command is to love each other as I have loved you". When a person understands this and accepts Jesus Christ's peace by accepting him as one's own Righteousness and Salvation, then one is free from sin, free from burden, free to ask, and freely loving and obeying God, as Jesus Christ explained, "if anyone loves me, they will obey my commands, and then my Father and I will come and make our home with them; if anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands". So then remaining in Jesus Christ is supported by appreciative, grateful love ("whoever has been forgiven little loves little") for intercession before judgment by God, and a person's life meets real freedom and real joy, thanks to the discipline given by God and Jesus Christ, the Teacher and Lord. "Don't be afraid; just believe." -- Conflict exists so that you humble yourself before The Lord. "If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to them the other cheek." I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. That is why he has taught me to love others. "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Love one another as I have loved you." "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord', and that is right because that is who I am. Now that I, your teacher and lord, have washed your feet, you also must wash each other's feet. I have set for you an example, that you should do as I have done for you. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." -- When a pervert runs out of people to blame for the consequences of their own actions, they blame God. -- "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Me: Do you want to know the truth? Person #1: No. Me: [silent] Me: Do you want to know the truth? Person #2: Yes. Me: Then listen to Jesus Christ. A person who hates information, yet uses the Internet, is a hypocrite. -- Them: did you not consider you are the issue at some point? if a whole community disliked me I would be considering maybe I was in the wrong Me: If I were to answer that on my own, I would cut you to pieces, proving you a hypocrite, and then [exile] you. Instead, listen to what God says: "I do nothing without reason." A person who is too lazy to think is easily led astray, and a person who disobeys God obeys self-destruction. "Rely upon God and not your own understanding." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, which everyone will learn who understands him, and so it is wiser to seek knowledge from him than knowledge of yourself, and more reliable to trust his promises than the agendas of mankind, and a better investment to serve God's ways than to destroy. "If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea, and your descendants like the grains of sand on the shore, their lineage never cut off from before me." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." I think that answer is preferable, and you will therefore see proven, "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" -- I know that some of you feel and think that talking about God is a bad thing to do. It is not a bad thing to say correct statements about God, any more than it is a bad thing to make correct statements about anyone else. If you talk about people who you do not see, why not talk about God who you do not see? If you talk to people who you do not see, why not talk to God who you do not see? I do not talk to inanimate objects like some people do. I know the difference between a living being and an inanimate object. I know that some of you feel and think that God is a problem. If you knew God, you would not think such things. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Jesus Christ gave himself to save all mankind who would believe in him. That was the only solution, not a problem. Had you understood by listening to him and thinking about what he says, you would know him and therefore know his Father. You are "badly mistaken because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God". I call for understanding to foster your health and well-being. Do not listen to fools who do not know their right hand from their left hand, and who say "good is evil and evil is good", and who spread lies to harm you and gloat over your demise as their victory over you. "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that my sheep may have life to the fullest. If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether I speak on my own or if what I say comes from God. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." That is the only "choice" you have to make in order to understand and live forever. -- So then how can the soil be converted from nutrient-less path dirt to proper soil suitable for growing crops? You could dispose of the useless soil and get a new heart, or you could grind the soil to dust and mix it into fertilizer until the old dust is no longer recognizable as waste. How do you get a non-believer to believe? Would God flash-feed them truth, as if to cast out darkness by force of light? The plant needs roots. When I was young, I did not know to want to know God. I was not taught that desire, but I had desire for justice, knowledge, truth, and righteousness burning within my heart, engulfing me and consuming me, leading me to a desire for purpose, to know what to do. And all around me there was the environment of secrecy, a hushed watching and waiting, to see what kind of person I would become. As if I were an experiment. As if I were a foreigner who did not belong, an alien, and that those around me knew the meaning of life, or lost the meaning of life, and were waiting to see if I would bring it to them, to reveal truth to those who dwelled in darkness. God has given me much, but "no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day". God enables a person to understand; they are not in control of their own capacity to understand. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened..." -- My dream is that you all become well-fed people, with great understanding, and live to do great things for God and man. "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only," because God alone is good... Then into whatever value this community has will come greatness, and from each individual, prosperity will flourish. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "Return to me, and I will return to you." "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called I would not listen. I scattered them..." "What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." You need to understand that you cannot do great things on your own -- so stop 'believing in yourself' already, as the manipulating financial thieves teach -- and you cannot do great things with other people, either. A person can only do great things with Immanuel, who said, "apart from me, you can do nothing". And it takes Immanuel to understand that life on Earth, which is God's footstool, is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Cease the arrogance and humble yourself before your God, who said, "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you and directs you in the paths you should walk. There is no other savior. If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would be like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea, and your descendants as numerous as grains of sand on the shore, their lineage never cut off from before me." "...My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand..." -- Some people want to trust in skeptics and skepticism, because they feel that if a person can see something with their eyes and study it and understand it, then it is already proven to be true. First of all, there are so many issues with that sentiment that I will not even address it except to quote, "I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know with certainty, and we testify as to what we have seen with our own eyes, and yet still you people do not listen. I have spoken to you in earthly terms and you do not believe; how then could you believe if I spoke in heavenly terms? No one [at least, human being] has gone into Heaven [by their own authority and power (Jesus Christ's is from The Father)] except the one who came down from Heaven: The Son of Man [later: who is in Heaven]. And only he has seen [also meaning fully perceived and understood] The Father." The similarity in independent testimony of more than one eye witness, of more than one person, is considered valid. "In your own law, it is written, 'The testimony of two men is valid'. I am one who testifies on my behalf, and the other is my Father." Therefore, let's think critically. If the common ground of the testimony of two witnesses can be upheld in court, and if a person thinks that the eye witness account of a single skeptic is valid, or even more valid than the eye witness account of a non-skeptic, then certainly two or more skeptics who are non-believers should be therefore trustworthy in their common account. With that logic in mind, let's see what the non-believing skeptics had to say. These skeptics were considered well-trained experts in this field, and they even claimed to believe in God already, so that was allegedly no personal hurdle for them to overcome, and no point of confusion for anyone to question the rationality of any testimony they might give, and it would not apparently be a problem then for calling into question their capacity to use reason and logic. Let's see what the skeptics had to say, and let's see how trustworthy skeptics and skepticism really is, and whether or not it is worth putting one's faith in, and whether or not it is even worth considering at all: Matthew 28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, because an angel of The Lord came down from Heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white like snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, because I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the spot where he was placed. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid, yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly, Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day. Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I assure you that I am with you always, to the very end of the age." So you see that skepticism is as logical as an infinite loop of doubt: if it makes sense to be skeptical, then why not be skeptical about skepticism and being skeptical? It is also a destructive thought process instead of a constructive thought process. A destructive thought process takes away understanding, and a constructive process leads to understanding. Skepticism is as rational as placing onto its packaging a list of ingredients that a food product does not contain. "You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don't you know how to interpret the present time? Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last [unit of smallest monetary value]." Skepticism is destructive, provides no basis for trustworthiness or reliability, is an implicit [hidden, clandestine] product of arrogance, and is proven by its results as being not worthwhile. Why even consider practicing it at all? If you want to know the truth, all wisdom is proving that you must simply listen to Jesus Christ. And I'll tell you another secret: your enemy, who wants you to be destroyed, and whose kingdom and work is all about destroying you and as many other souls as God allows, will accept anything except the matter of listening to Jesus Christ, because, as Jesus Christ explained, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." "Whoever believes [looks to The Son of Man and believes the one who sent The Son of Man] has eternal life and can no longer die, because that person has thusly crossed over from death to life." "No one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day. Everyone who The Father gives to me will come to me, and I will never drive away the one who comes to me [until the door is shut on The Day of Judgment, when I will simply tell those on the outside, "I never knew you; away from me, all you evildoers!"]. This is the will of him who sent me: that I will not lose any of those he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day; it is my Father's will that everyone who looks to The Son and believes in him will have eternal life and that I will raise that person up [resurrect them] during The Last Day. The Son of Man did not come down from Heaven to condemn the world, but to save it through himself. There is a judge for the person who rejects me and my words: that very word that I spoke will condemn that person on The Last Day. I did not speak on my own, but only what the Father says and does to show me to say and do, and I do this exactly, because I know that his words lead to eternal life. This is eternal life: that a person would know [you,] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who [you] he sent. [That sentence was said in prayer to God.] I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is The Judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." (paraphrased, concatenated). "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Therefore, skepticism is evil, and that is obvious because it is a product of arrogance, folly [ignorance], evil thoughts, theft and deceitfulness [dishonesty]... and therefore is an action of Satan wanting to "sift you like wheat", as Jesus Christ said to Simon-Peter, son of John, and so skepticism is revealed to be a practice of narcissists as a term for their selective hearing, because they did not listen to Jesus Christ who already explained thousands of years ago that a person is not in control of their own capacity to understand. Knowledge of what something is not, is useless, because, because God alone is good, potential and potential for improvement is infinite, as Jesus Christ explained, "with man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible". It only makes sense to seek to know what something is, not what something is not, and that is why skepticism has no place among reason -- not rational hearts, minds, souls, or wills. To practice skepticism is to practice the fruit of many evils, but Jesus Christ said, "everyone on the side of truth listens to me". When a person refuses to believe, they refuse to believe in reality and existence, and the bottom of that pit of folly is an increase in deceit and despair. As I have said, Jesus Christ leads his students to happiness, but those who serve themselves find despair. -- When I saw God and Jesus Christ and angels with my own eyes, I noticed something and I realize something now about it that is worth saying. Jesus Christ is looking at everything. A mortal can only look at one thing at a time; and that is healthy, not a challenge for you to try to make it otherwise. God sees and knows everything simultaneously, and shows Jesus Christ, his Son, what must be done. Therefore, it honors God for you to pay attention to his Son. -- To invest in God is to invest in God's creation. To invest in Jesus Christ is to invest in man. To invest in the servant of a household is to invest in that household. The return on that investment is according to that in which was invested: "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad. Each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." -- The message was to persevere. "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart, so that they might not understand and be kept safe from harm. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it so that it will not bear fruit and spread. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. By persevering, he produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown." -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMVnZl2gzMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGgJcyv-oO0 Don't dismiss the information in the first two videos here. Educate yourself. It's clearly explained how the prevailing social trends stem from communism and nazi-ism. It's amazing how people just love to think highly of themselves and dismiss any and all responsibility for their own behaviors, beg God to take away the consequences of their ignoring him, and then turn around and hate God when he tells them something they do not want to hear, or when he remains silent. "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen." These people who say "pray for sinners" are better than I am, because I simply do not see the reason to intercede for a person who will not understand until they get thrown into Hell, at which point it is too late for any understanding to benefit them. Stubbornness, willful ignorance or anything else is merely an excuse for stubbornness. And folly just delights in using stubbornness to destroy the self. The undisciplined are like little children who have never grown into maturity their entire life, and lash out at anything that doesn't stroke their narcissism, anything that doesn't make them feel good about themselves, like an addict hooked on drugs who will hear nothing about fixing themselves. As far as I can see, why should I pray for someone, take their suffering upon myself, when they are still doomed? Let their suffering multiply, and let those who want to do good learn how to do good through listening to their God. This is why I say these people who say "pray for sinners" are better than me. But I say, everyone has access to knowledge of Jesus Christ. Learn if you want to know your intercessor. If you don't want to know your intercessor, I am no replacement for his having led Justice to victory. And this is why I call myself a fool and am divided against myself. I know that God can and does make plans on his own for his own purposes according to his wisdom as Jesus Christ explained, and I have no place commenting upon that. Yet I do not believe that anyone is trustworthy except God and Jesus Christ, according to what Jesus Christ explained. I do not trust saints, angels, spirits, or any other thing. And why should any person who knows God and Jesus Christ trust anyone else? There is no logic to that in my heart. Either I trust God or I trust no one. And I know God and Jesus Christ, so I have made my decision. To those who are immature in their understanding, as I was before I sought the truth on my own, good luck learning from God. It will only become increasingly difficult as this selfish world continuously seeks to corrupt your minds with deceit and folly. In my lifetime, I have been the last of many things. I hope that I am not the last person to know the truth. But even if I am, that too is none of my business. Neither is your knowledge of your God any of my business. Just know that you will never find what your heart desires until you dedicate yourself to finding out the truth for yourself, reading what Jesus Christ has said as recorded in the Holy Bible -- which men are already trying to corrupt with their own secretive agendas -- and learning for yourself whether everything he says is true. Then you will know, not because of some foolish, adulterous, pagan evidence, but because you recognize his voice. Those who ignore God are so stupid, that in my mind, they deserve to go to Hell. Don't be like the other fools around you. Listen to Jesus Christ and live. When a person begins to understand what Jesus Christ has explained, they look into a whole new universe filled with understanding beyond the wildest dreams of the dead pagans. Eternal life changes your life forever. If it were for the worse, I would warn you against it. As it is, it is for your benefit, and is absolutely free -- freely given by God at his own expense -- and then you will perceive and understand things you never could have imagined. This is why I say so many times and in so many ways to listen to Jesus Christ: because that is the greatest wisdom in existence. But the world will hate you very much, and try to hurt you very much, as soon as God sets you apart for special purposes, as soon as you begin to understand what others want to pretend is make-believe. And they will try to harm you by asking you questions with the intention of preventing you from truly understanding. Wisdom has no competitor; it is beyond reproach. That is what fools fear -- that their evil deeds will be exposed. That is why they attack and harm those who know God and Jesus Christ. But God is in control, and explained how "not even a hair on your head will perish; by standing firm, you will gain life". When you begin to understand that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, then you have entered the Kingdom of Heaven. -- Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Jesus Christ showed that he overlooked insults and impertinence so that he could accept or work with the intentions of a person, which he fully knew. A person could speak gibberish to him and he would fully understand, before, during, and after, all they are and said. Remember, "be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test". However, Jesus Christ is The Teacher and he makes opportunities to instruct his disciples (students) in order to give them Justice through understanding. Therefore, I say that I find problems with every sentence of The Hail Mary. "Hail, Mary": Jesus Christ always showed how the only relationship that is significant is between you and "The King". God throughout time has also ordered that no one consult with spirits or spiritists, because they do not have in mind your best interests, and they are not your God. "I am the Lord your God who teaches you what is best for you and guides you in the paths you should go. There is no other savior." "full of grace": "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is (made) pure in weakness." Grace is what God gives you through Jesus Christ. You do not have any other proper intercessor besides The Intercessor, The Son of Man, The Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world and who said "now the prince of this world will be cast out" and did so. Your accuser is gone. All other accusations is merely the residual failure of man to appreciate what God has done. If you pray for anyone, pray that God saves them. Jesus means "God Saves". "the Lord is with you": I could presume that this is correct, but that is none of my business. Mary is a human being, just like any other human being who has a personal relationship with their God and The Lord Righteousness, Savior. "Blessed are you ('art thou') among women": Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Blessed is the mother who bore you and nursed you." Jesus replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." "and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus": ...and when the chief priests asked Jesus, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" Jesus responded, "I am. And I say to all of you, in the future, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of The Mighty One and coming [approaching (at least, The Earth)] on the clouds of Heaven." Note the correction of them calling God "blessed". But even to his accusers, Jesus showed consideration and did not respond with cruel attitude, but remained unchanged. "Holy Mary, mother of God": "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Pointing to his disciples sitting around him, Jesus said, "Here are my mother and brothers! Because whoever does the will of my Heavenly Father is my mother and sister and brother." And later, Jesus even gave away his mother to another man to be her son to help her; even as he was suffering in such torment on his cross, he showed that he thought of the well-being of others, including of those who were persecuting him. "Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing." "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death": Just stop sinning. If you have difficulty with that, ask your Savior for help. "He is not God of the dead, but of the living [because to him all are alive (that part is cryptically worded, because in one meaning of it, it is correct, and in other meanings of it, it is incorrect)]. How badly mistaken you are!" "I will give you a Counselor to be with your forever: the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you [will, and already,] know him, because he [is and will be] in you and among you." It's explained that "The Spirit gives life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. But there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day." Further regarding "and at the hour of our death", "I am The Resurrection and The Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Amen": In honor, only God should say "so be it". "Who can speak and have it happen unless The Lord has first decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of The Lord that both good things and calamities come? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" Finally, remember how Jesus Christ forgave the guilty woman and then said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life." God does not experiment with your soul, so do not experiment with prayers. Say the prayer that Jesus Christ, your Teacher and Lord, taught you to pray, and for all intents and purposes for yourself, ignore the untrustworthy. Listen to Jesus Christ, and learn how God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy, how only God is good, and what Jesus Christ has said and done to make it so you can live forever with him in joy and peace, not after you die and "go to heaven", but right now, even among pain and hurt. You live now, or you never live, unless God has determined that you are like a person who is never born. "But woe to the person who betrays The Son of Man! It would have been better for him if he had not been born." But don't persecute people. People need The Lord. Yes, the Catholic Church is flawed, with flawed leadership. Man is not perfect as The Son of Man is perfect. But man is taught by The Son of Man, even today, to "be perfect [therefore] as your Heavenly Father is perfect". There are so many things I could say... "But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." ...but all you have to do to understand is listen to Jesus Christ. You must "humble yourselves like little children"; you must be humble, or else you will never enter the Kingdom of God, as Jesus Christ explained. And why do I do so much pointing to Jesus Christ, while other people do so much pointing to themselves? Because Jesus Christ is the best, and God alone is good, and he said, "No one can come to The Father except through me," among all the other things that you must know. Satan is taking all different words of God and slashing at you with traps and poisons and other weapons to make you fall into guilt; "man does not live upon bread alone, but upon EVERY WORD that comes from God's Mouth"; but the cure has already been given, and the debt has already been paid in body and blood by God's Son. Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. You will have crossed over from death to life, and can no longer die. You will live forever. When your life is demanded from you, you will continue to live. People cannot touch you. Satan cannot touch you. Jesus Christ has explained this in so many ways. Jesus Christ has fully understood, fully guided, fully given himself, and The Father said, "This is my son, who I love, and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" The only one who is good said that. What are you waiting for? I tell you, there will never be a better opportunity to listen to Jesus Christ than now. -- Psalm 136. Give thanks to The Lord, because he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His love endures forever. To him, who alone does great wonders. His mercy endures forever. Who by his understanding made the heavens. His compassion never fails. Who spread out earth upon the waters. His love is forever. To him who created the great lights... His love endures forever. ...The Sun to govern the day... His mercy endures for all generations. ...The Moon and stars to govern the night. His compassion never goes away. To him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt... His love is everlasting. ...and brought Israel out from among their oppressors... His love is forever. ...with a Mighty Hand and outstretched arm. His mercy endures forever. ... -- Imagine that you are an American tourist in China, and there at the market, you see a person steal something (say, an apple) and abscond. The person is apprehended. Judgement is about to be passed on the thief. What do you do? A) Do nothing and wait to see what happens. Later, you can shrug your shoulders and say that whatever happened was God's will. B) Fight for the thief. Everyone deserves a chance at happiness. C) Move along. It's not your problem. D) Tell the apprehender that you saw the whole thing and can help accuse the thief in court. The truth must be made known. E) Give $5 USD to the thief, $10 USD to each apprehender, and $5 USD to the market vendor. "You know that the rulers of the Romans exercise lordship over them and their greatest, their high officials, exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and the person who wants to be first among you will make himself as your slave, just as The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." So what's the right answer? -- Them 1: I'd steal the apple from him and then claim Diplomatic Immunity.. Them 2: [puts a link to a movie snippet, poking fun at "diplomatic immunity"] Them 1: I watched your snippet.. I have no idea what it means ,except for somene killing someone. and that's the problem with people that watch, believe and follow the Bible.. Killing.. Why do you Christians want to kill? and yet your Christian Religion would have me kill someone , rather then feed them.. Them 3 [maybe referring to movie snippet?]: It may be fiction, but I can't take it lightly though Me: If I took the time to correct every person who did not know what they were talking about because they refused to listen to what God has said, I would waste my entire life, and I would myself not do what God has said: "Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." -- YouTube video comments: Them 1: Evangelicals want the apocalyptic horrors to come true! To their mentality, its like a fairy tale that will come to life & they will feel "vindicated" for believing! Sick. What they forget is this: Jesus said in end times when the son returns many will say Lord Lord we made followers & believers in your name & the son will say get away from me I never knew you. Them 2: [name], you are so correct! I was raised in that cult and got as far away from it as I could! I wouldn't be surprised to hear Jesus say those words to the fundamentalists! It would warm my heart!!! They are modern day Pharisees and Sadducees! Me: "I do not delight in the death of anyone. Why should you die? Shouldn't you rather repent, and live?" The "anti-Christ" is all the mentality that twists God's words into their own agenda, using perspective to call good evil and evil good. This "anti-Christ" is the next stage of Relativism. It will fester in any person who has not known God and Jesus Christ -- "they will do such things [treat you this way] because they have not known the Father or me". When the time of Judgment is at hand, if anyone asks me, I will say, "All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ." The first thing Jesus said when asked about the end times was, "Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ', and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. [...] These are the beginnings of birth pains." The concept of "Armageddon" is just another war, as it is written that war will continue until the end. World Peace is a silly goal, as is the concept of living on Earth with Jesus Christ as ruler. He already said, "My Kingdom is not of this world". If only people would listen to Jesus Christ, as he said, "I give you my Peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" -- YouTube video comment by Madhavi Hande (it seems to have been copy-pasted from elsewhere): the Jews Missed Jesus... They were looking for a Lion, He came as a Lamb, and they missed Him. They were looking for a Warrior, He came as a Peacemaker, and they missed Him. They were looking for a King, He came as a Servant, and they missed Him. They were looking for Liberation from Rome, He submitted to the Roman cross, and they missed Him. They were looking for a fit to their mold, He was the mold maker, and they missed Him. What are you looking for? Lion? Warrior? King? Liberator? They were looking for their temporal needs to be met, He came to meet their eternal need, and they missed Him. He came as a Lamb to be sacrificed for your sin. Will you miss Him? He came to make peace between God and man. Will you miss Him? He came to model servanthood for all mankind. Will you miss Him? He came that we might have true Liberty. Will you miss Him? He came to give you eternal life. Will you miss Him? When we submit to the Lamb, we will meet the Lion. When we join with the Peacemaker we will meet the Warrior. When we work with the Servant we will meet the King. When we walk with the Submitted we will meet the Liberator. When we concern ourselves with the Eternal we will have the Temporal too. -- Regarding some Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ: Not every American citizen believes in the President of the United States, and he they can see with their eyes. "...where you can see me no longer." I wouldn't expect every person to "know their right hand from their left hand", as God told Jonah about Nineveh. And I wouldn't expect every Jew to believe in The King of the Jews, who they can see no longer. But these people in this video, most of them have not known Jesus Christ and God through knowledge of God's words and recognition of their shepherd. I guess some are not his sheep (yet). I know for myself that everything Jesus Christ says is true, beyond human wisdom. That's enough for me. That a stranger on the other side of the world lives or dies -- what is that to me? I am not involved in their life. I did not tend to that vine or make it grow. I have no reason to be upset about the death of anyone on the other side of the world. In fact, had no one told me and shown me this video, I would not even know these people exist. And I am not God who "teaches you what is best for you and guides you in the way you should go". But after what God and Jesus Christ did, my responses to all who have not accepted God is past tense: "All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ." -- "Apart from me, you can do nothing." I may be the only person in the world who says this, but if I say it, it is said. So I say it. The Muslim invasion is God showing you all what the alternative to listening to Jesus Christ is. If you do not like the alternative, then welcome God and Jesus Christ in your hearts, minds, souls and wills. Perhaps he will relent and heal your land. Perhaps he will forgive and turn away your destruction. -- Them: If this does NOT break your heart! If this does NOT make you feel totally ASHAMED at our so called British 'Justice system! If it does NOT make you sooooo angry at our cowardly politicians who 'allow' this barbaric behaviour to go un'challanged. If it does NOT make you stop and think. 'THAT' could have been MY daughter? If this does NOT make you think of any of those things? then you have NO heart, NO compassion. I'm sitting here and thinking WTF did my dad go to fight in WW2 for? WHAT? For THIS to be allowed? THIS is nothing but TREASON of the highest order. Grrrrrrrrrrr Me: And sadly, your YouTube comments do nothing. Anger does not serve logic or reason. I have said the reason for these problems. All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. When will you cease your arrogance and understand with your hearts that you are not in control? Why do you constantly behave unfaithfully to The Creator? Your people have rejected God and Jesus Christ, and God said, "Fine. You value your free speech and choices, so here I will show you the result of your choice." And Jesus Christ said, as he said to Peter, "After you have returned, strengthen your brothers." Your people have been honorable and selfless in their compassionate thoughtfulness of other nations, warning us about the invading horde. But those who listen to Jesus Christ and obey him have nothing to fear, even among persecution. God is in control, and God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation, accept this as a shield over your heart. Let God heal your people and your land, and stop trying to arrogantly and stupidly take matters into your own hands. Arrogance and folly love to use that play against you, to tell you to "be strong" and "you can do it" and "believe in yourself". God never says such things, because, as Christopher Stefanick said, there is one difference between people and God: God never thinks he's you. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." Stop being so adulterous and abandoning faith in your one true love. So I say this, before he says, "I never knew you," I say, "All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ". You botched it up. Try again; maybe God will give your people another chance. God is merciful and forgiving, overlooking sins to administer forgiveness to those who repent of evil ways. Stop testing him and pay attention! -- Them: At what point does society look for alternative forms of justice? Me: At first, the rational mind asks why something happens. I know the reason this happens, and it is because the whole nation of Britain -- and even most of the world -- is guilty of rejecting God and Jesus Christ's words. Now a person who is blessed knows ahead of time what happens, because that is all according to how Jesus Christ chooses to bless his own. I will put this simply: God takes care of his own, and Britain chose to reject God. Thus, the muslim horde invasion was brought by God and Jesus Christ to teach all you British "fighters" a lesson. This people you will not escape from; they are conquering invaders who are like locusts and are sent to destroy a land and its people. However, if you start to listen to Jesus Christ and repent of your evil ways, God will exercise his forgiveness and heal your people and your land. You are such fools, thinking you could live without acknowledging the only true God and Jesus Christ, his only son. Behold the results of your choice! "Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" And in your filthy arrogance, you still believe that you are in control of your own lives, rather than believe in "The Lord your God, who holds in his hand your life and all your paths". All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. That's it! That's all! That's ALL YOU HAD TO DO. But no, remain unfaithful until they destroy you through and through, because that is EXACTLY what you asked for: a country free of God, where God is nowhere to be found, not in the home, not in your hearts, not on your lips (except in disrespect), not in your schools, not even in your vacant lot churches. How foolish you are! How obtuse! What morons, rife with stupidity! Eat up and have full stomachs with the meals you have prepared for yourselves: a nice, full dish of death. And you are like this poor, raped woman. Why should God, your husband who you divorced with such fervor, take you back? You have become a prostitute and are unfit for marriage. Your only hope is to beg God and Jesus Christ for forgiveness and to actually start paying attention to his commands and listening to him. Are you too stupid to do that, I wonder? At what point does society look to their God for true Justice? -- Dear Mr. Robinson et. al., Matthew 27:23 is exactly the question you have been asking so many times, and because God and Jesus Christ has given you some of his cup to drink, this is what is happening, for his honor, and for your good, so you and others gain understanding of your Intercessor. The people in Great Britain are a precious jewel to God, and as your Queen tends to her jewels, so God is tending to your people. They seem fractured, and broken. But they are unrefined. Let Jesus Christ refine you through his words as he did with the Jews. The Jews generally rejected him, but that was God's plan, according to what was written in their law by what God chose to do through them. You British are so precious, so valuable to God, but you must listen and pay attention to his loving words of goodness given to you for your real Justice, Life, and Understanding. Don't point blame at other people; be of sound mind and listen and understand what Jesus Christ has said and done. All good things come from the one who you as a people have rejected. Why should you feel surprised at the result you see of your rebelliousness against God and Jesus Christ? God has given you exactly what you asked for: his not being involved. And that is why you suffer so. So return to Jesus Christ, and he will return to your hearts, minds, souls, and wills, and heal your nation and your land. Sincerely, A nobody from USA -- What do you all think of separation of church and state? Do you think that is a good thing? It's a belief originating with Communism. https://youtu.be/XMVnZl2gzMo?t=22m56s ^ historical context of the effects of communism and some of the beliefs it spread. Communism wanted to separate church and state so that the communist party could indoctrinate youths (like Hitler and others did in their propaganda) to brainwash society. All attempts to remove God from people's hearts and minds throughout history have ended in complete disaster, and all the wars, famines, diseases, plagues, and death on a large scale. So do you think that separation of church and state is a good thing? Contrary to popular notion, of the uneducated, separation of church and state is not part of the US Constitution or Bill of Rights. Nor is it part of the Declaration of Independence. The only mention -- which was jumped on by the Communist Party -- was mentioned by Thomas Jefferson in a letter. I can write letters too, and I'm probably more educated than Thomas Jefferson was. But the communists chose to deify the notion of separation of church and state, calling it necessary to freedom and democracy, so that they could indoctrinate and manipulate the hearts and minds of people away from the only true God, who alone is good, and who said, "I am the Lord your God, who knows what is best for you and guides you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would be like a river, your righteousness like waves of the sea, your descendants like grains of sand along its shore with their lineage never cut off from before me." So the result has been continued folly throughout the entire 20th century and into the 21st century, a people ignorant and stubborn and willfully deaf to wisdom and knowledge of God, a race doomed to destruction through doctrines of moral Relativism. That is why people are such cowards and do not listen -- as it is written in Revelation 21:8: "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Today's culture teaches slander and hatred and bigotry, and then you have the fools who rely upon their own moral standards and say to themselves in their hearts, "if only people would listen to me, because I know what's best". Yet all these people are manipulated because they do not know God. "They will treat you this way because they have not known the Father or me. Had I not come and done these miracles among them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen these miracles, and they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their law, 'They hated me without reason.'" https://www.solarstorms.org/SS1938.html I think that one of the most ignorant sentiments about the church is saying that people in the church are ignorant of facts and malicious towards the spread of information. Such notions are blind, false assertions using hypocrisy and arrogant ignorance of logic and reason to lead people into destruction. "Typically, engineers are becoming more specialized and are less likely to understand the hazards of the space environment. Often we have to relearn things that were known by people who retire or move on…it is also recognized that private companies have a disinclination to release information on their own problems" [NOAA/SEC Satellite Working Group, 1999] source: https://www.solarstorms.org/SWEpilog.html Those who use propaganda against young audiences are counting on the youths not knowing history of what their parents and grandparents -- the people who lived before them -- experienced. It's like cicadas, which only come out of hibernation every four years so that birds and other predators do not recognize them as food. https://www.gardenersnet.com/atoz/cicada.htm -- I have something significant to say, but I need to think about how to say it. There are many supporting and evidential quotes of Jesus Christ that explain the logic and reason and prove what I want to say. But I have tried quoting Jesus Christ and leading to that logic and reason, and all I get is ignored for quoting Jesus Christ. So I'm going to think and consult with him about how to say what I have to say to you. The extent of how deceived a person is, is measured by the folly of the results of their beliefs. For example, if a person believes that they can fly, they are deceived, so the extent of the affecting deception is measured by the fruits of that belief, like when they go jump off a building and die. That result of the folly of their belief that they can fly is of a mortal extent. There are much larger-scale foolish beliefs that society has embraced because it makes them feel good about themselves and is cloaked in the guise of freedom. This is called liberalism, an evil result of evil and foolish Relativism. Society has been brainwashed by the work of arrogance and folly combining their evils to serve evil deceit, to fool the hearts of men into death by arrogance. As Jesus Christ explained, arrogance, deceit, and folly are three kinds of evils that come from a person's heart and make that person 'unclean'. I think that some of you are victims of this intellectual and spiritual plague that is driving the world down under its oppression, down into faithlessness and ignorance of the truth and life given by God by Jesus Christ, whose words are Absolute Truth because of The Spirit of Truth. All we had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. Had we done so, all these controversial, wicked sentiments and all the bad news that happens around the world would not spread; we would be inoculated by God's words and protected by his trustworthiness in faith in his love. "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." This corruption is what I have been trying to fight against as I showed you the path of understanding, to bring the people of these online communities over to reason and sound mind. Listen to Jesus Christ, and stop putting your faith into the hands of blind drivers. -- ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 1 ----------------------------------------------- In part one of this message, I ask a question and make a quote.

Again, merely for thought, and you decide if you want to think about it or just ignore it and go about your day. That goes without saying. I won't say it again. This is approximately how humankind perceives and draws the world: https://i.imgur.com/EcKyqWB.jpg This is approximately how God perceives and draws the world: https://i.imgur.com/CNJOiVg.jpg ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 3 ----------------------------------------------- In part three of this themed message, I make a few interesting assertions. 1) Mortality as a part of weakness is a basic part of life. It is neither considered nor addressed nor discussed nor explained throughout a student's public education. Instead of placing that basic topic of life which everyone experiences into the curriculum, the academic institutions assume that the parents will explain it to their own children. Most parents assume that the children will figure it out for themselves, and they do not concern themselves with details. Most social institutions consider only the legal implications of mortality, such as for insurance and tax purposes -- healthcare, and the last will and testament documents, for example. 2) Meaning of life is also a basic principle that a person must either address or ignore for themselves, because people of every age are not given that information by society. Throughout their entire lifetimes, people ask themselves what they should do that day. To ask oneself a question is to rely upon one's feelings, so most people who do not know what to do end up doing what they feel like doing at any given point. They consult whatever limited discipline and indoctrination they have experienced and decide to do something based upon that, because that is what they know and with that they are comfortable. Some rationalize what they have learned, while others resort to "automatic pilot", meaning habit. Those become thought patterns that direct a person's attitude towards outside information, whether it is a person they see walking by them in the hallway, or a statement they perceive that someone communicated. It is the preconceived determination of rationale that influences a person's behavior and is influenced by what that person perceives for the basic principle of the meaning of life and in what they should do at any given point in any given situation. The mind is influenced by "environment" but it is driven by rationale which comes from basic purpose and meaning. 3) All questions can be answered or dismissed incorrectly by anyone, but knowledge is required in order to respond to a question in the best possible way. The mind does not create knowledge as the stomach does not create food. As food must be sought and chewed, knowledge must be pursued and prepared for consumption. Both false knowledge and correct knowledge abound in availability. ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 4 ----------------------------------------------- In part four of this themed message, I present a segment of a speech given by Professor Stefanick, as an MP3 audio file attachment. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/relativism_segment.mp3 ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 5 ----------------------------------------------- In part five of this themed message, I present music.

These are found in Deuteronomy chapters 5 and 6. This is transcribed from the 1984 NIV Zondervan publication of The Holy Bible. And he said: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before [or besides] me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day. Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness; and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 7 ----------------------------------------------- In part seven of this themed message, I present a YouTube video link. The video is a statement of personal experience of contemporary events in Great Britain. The speaker is known as Tommy Robinson. If the video is banned in your country, try using the second link or a VPN. If you watch this video presentation, I warn you that there are depictions of shouting, crying, and distress in the footage shown by the speaker, as he presents an account of his personal experiences at the hands of cruel and corrupt British Muslim officials. You may not want to watch this video if these kinds of experiences would adversely affect your health! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao2VlpxGFe4 https://613tube.com/watch/?v=ao2VlpxGFe4 ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 8 ----------------------------------------------- In part eight of this themed message, I present a brief collection of videos to indicate that serious problems exist, whether hidden or acknowledged. Consider for yourself what the problem is with each of these events, and what could be a definitive solution preventing such problems from repeating. Censorship and controlling the information you receive to manipulate your decisions and behaviors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG1pzNiL6RY A response to the liberal agenda whose goal is to usher infiltration into The West: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAoXgZLRee0 US perspective on conflict resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW0okGuFvVY USA police abusiveness example; note the video description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmOrWi0GQmo USA police corruption example; note the video description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E99p529qoR4 Bias of USA police in the judicial system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiUkbE_ktHs USA police bullying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOnx5k2TiGk British citizens essentially cannot legally possess armaments. The British government has intentionally made its citizens helpless to defend themselves against their corrupt police and muslim invaders. The problem is even worse in other European countries, which are being completely annihilated by evil men. Here is an example of a weapon being used to defend oneself against a madman attacker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzYhnwPtMp4 Multiple USA and Canadian police lying in court and planting evidence on innocent civilians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B0mHT67Jyw Many USA police caught committing felonies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2L9YGRwmyI And this video just takes the cake, showing that you cannot even exercise legal rights to complain about police abuse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFFiZzsf7Xg Notice how "the system" does not work, all rules are violated, and unless you have a well-hidden video camera, who would believe the victim? Here, police officers even turn off their body cameras before trash-talking a 15-year-old boy they just murdered in cold blood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-afCJxlsJU Finally, how the mainstream media highlights controversy by praising insanity and liberalism, and interviewing people who have mental health problems and are disrespectful to gain attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4s4rf4FrOE Video after video after video... it is clear at least in my mind that the world is incompetent in solving its own corruption problems. Who should be consulted? And when it happens to you, as it has happened to me, who will defend you? Cruelty is taught and hope is naught. ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 9 ----------------------------------------------- In part nine of this themed message, I present four short quotes and a personal anecdote. "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." (Matthew 28:18). My son, do not despise The Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke [do not neglect his admonition to you], because The Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines [or, and he punishes] the child in whom he delights. (Proverbs 3:11-12). "Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning. You [, Jeremiah,] live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares The Lord. Therefore, this is what the Lord Almighty says: "See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?" (Jeremiah 9:5-7). I lived in New Jersey when Hurricane Sandy passed over it. If you observe the path of the storm, it is as if you had a left hand as the northwestern jet stream, the hurricane as a right fist, New Jersey in between them, and as it came around, it was as if Jesus took the weather like his two hands and put New Jersey down for the count. While most of the state suffered all different kinds of damage on a scale it had not seen, I chuckled when someone told me that one town on the beach barely had any damage, even though their building structures were so flimsy, like tents and old buildings. I chuckled because that beach town is famously a Methodist (Christian) community. Despite their engineers designing their underground waterways to help alleviate ocean current pattern changes, it was very obvious to me that Ocean Grove remained mostly unscathed as a result of divine will. I was slightly more inland, and I remember lying down on a sofa and the feeling of the eye of the storm, which I heard encompassed much of, or the entirety of, New Jersey, and maybe some other states. The eye of the storm as I felt it was so ionized that I could feel its upward pull like anti-gravity, and the storm also had a message: guilt and repentance. It was obvious to me by the look of the eye that Jesus Christ was using Hurricane Sandy to "refine and test" because of our sin. I had experienced the increase in corruption and sin and was very uneasy. Jesus Christ showed me how these things were escalating into a disciplinary action, but he would shelter those who were under his protection. So he did. And when I felt the eye of the storm, I said to it in my mind, "I have Jesus Christ," and the eye continued to look and pass over me as if it had not seen me. I added that it should not be so accusatory, but Jesus Christ motioned with his hand that I should not interfere further or pursue the matter further but let him finish his work and then he would relent and return a little of his blessing back to help regrow the people and the land. And when a large tree came crashing down in my direction, uprooted off of neighboring property, missing the house and the bedroom where I was lying down by several feet, I knew that God was doing this to show me that he did this now to stave off future disaster, because he would not wait any longer to discipline us. If the (I think it was dead) tree had been given more time to grow with the way things were, harsher punishment and worse disaster would have occurred. But God did not withhold his discipline any longer because he is merciful. A fellow trumpet player commented to me, as we stood there in the balcony of a local Catholic church, that Hurricane Sandy "put the fear of God" back into the people, and that is why so many had suddenly started attending church. I wondered to myself how temporary that would be, and when the next round of discipline would be necessary. But I felt in my heart that I would not be in that location when it did happen, and as it turns out, we moved to Delaware, I think five or six years later. But some people clearly reverted back to their perverse ways, and the oh-so-foolish slogan began, "Jersey Strong" and "Stronger than the storm". No, New Jersey, you were not stronger than the deliberate weather pattern God used to discipline you, and even about a decade later, you are still reeling and trying to find your feet after being walloped and put down for the count. Have you gained nothing? Were you scarred by God and yet not fully humbled? To learn nothing from your mistakes is to invite another disaster. Some people heard the message loud and clear, while other people delude themselves and others away from understanding. Perhaps a new slogan is in order, or a Jersey Creed, to foster wisdom, humility, and understanding, and perhaps please God and appease God so that maybe he does not have to do such things or worse. "New Jersey Fears God". ----------------------------------------------- Staving off impending world cataclysm: part 10 ----------------------------------------------- In the tenth and final part of this themed message, I rationally combine the previous parts into a perspective and consider presenting some options and a conclusion. I did not mention other problems in the world such as poisoning of food supplies. Among the ten parts, I asked a question to indicate a need for action and your personal responsibility to act and I did so according to the interests of man which is what he does and can do, quoted an internet chat message to indicate what happens when attempts are made to act to engage wisdom and reason into the minds of some people using some basic logic which is presented to them that people simply refuse to consider yet which would make them realize that God and Jesus Christ said the same thing but more succinctly, presented two pictures of the world to indicate a difference in viewpoint between man and God and the presence of evil and guilt which was left unfixed so has grown into a large-scale number of serious problems, asserted a few things about the education system to show that it has not done its part to answer questions everyone asks which evil has exploited and also made a statement about the nature of validity in questions and answers, presented an audio file excerpt of a recorded speech by a speaker who tours USA to speak to young adults about such questions they ask and the results of a very harmful social indoctrination called Relativism which today seems to be commonly accepted as moral law, presented a recording of the movement for "et in terra pax hominibus" from Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria which means "and on Earth peace among men" as part of the Roman Catholic mass which should convey to any rational person that "the church" has been trying to bring peace to the world for millennia and that such was an acceptable agenda through the Scriptures and among the public and among musicians and others who wanted to honor The Sovereign Lord because all these parties had struggled with violence and evil and knew the difference between good and evil and right and wrong, specifically quoted God's Ten Commandments and a concluding statement about how to apply them to one's life and to society in order to clearly show some of the authoritative guidance God provided for the world to have and learn from and obey in order to know God and be with God in his love and security away from evil and harm, presented a speech by someone from Great Britain who shares some of the abuse and persecution he has faced for simply stating true facts about the evil people who infiltrated his country and are destroying people's lives in his country by their extremely evil actions even as they use the education and judicial systems to indoctrinate his weak fellow citizens and children into committing acts of terroristic and evil atrocities with them while his neighbors are helpless and butchered and harassed by their own infiltrated and corrupted government which protects the invading monsters and gathers the British citizens to serve to the invaders' swords, shared some video links showing the increasing corruption of government and police in the USA and Canada and that there are some sound minds left but they even agree that action besides banter must be taken to do something about all these problems and that the news media and government are not actually doing anything to help fix the systems which have failed the people they were intended to serve and protect, and presented four quotes from Jesus Christ which obviously rationally support the presented information about my experience of Hurricane Sandy and its reasonable meaning. I gave only contemporary, relevant instances of different types of information, all pointing to the conclusion that I have known all along. Many people have come from different parts of the world into the United States of America with a dire warning: my country is lost and do not let this happen to yours. To what has it been lost? In one word, evil. Now evil is something that all cultures acknowledge exists. Many of these cultures also acknowledge that "God" exists, according to their understanding of a good spiritual being or force. I will say this one time only: if it is not God, it is not good, as God explained through Jesus Christ, "There is only one who is good; if you want to enter life, obey The Commandments -- do not steal, do not murder, to not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you". Throughout human history, success is found when these commandments are obeyed, and death is met when these commandments are ignored. In fact, the quickest way to kill yourself and maybe take others down with you is to ignore God's words. As Jesus Christ explained, that is exactly what evil wants to do: "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep] may have life to the fullest." The world faces a spiritual conflict, and it appears that evil is taking over and butchering anyone who says or does something right. Conflict, fear, and isolation is escalating worldwide; worldwide includes your house, your community, and you. Spiritual and physical attacks are commonplace against a person who knows God and Jesus Christ. Society has willfully turned atheistic, which is to ignore the majority of reality, as a person might ignore the fact that they are breathing. They still breathe, they just claim that they are not breathing and that air does not exist. Communism is atheistic because in order to spread its insanity, it must remove all wisdom and reason and rationale from large numbers of people; so by massacring millions of people all around the world who were smart enough to know their left hand from their right hand, and under the claim of moral liberty ("independence" away from God), this demonic agenda used force and murder to butcher and silence anyone of sound mind and rational judgment. It took the evil tactics of terrorism and twisted the definitions of words, indoctrinated generations of civilizations into a broken moral compass, and used tactics of cowardice and false ideologies to deceive people into ignoring the only true God. Helpless to escape their entrapping manipulation, societies fell to their knees and the human race was nearly wiped out in major parts of the world by two resulting world wars. Did God remain silent? Well, if you rely on the force-fed news media to supply all your sources of information, not only are you insane, but you have no idea about what actually happens among you. God was not silent. In fact, many times, God warned people, even with great miracles for all to see, that they must repent or face further cataclysm. True to form, people ignored God, and so the second world war occurred, worse than the first, and evil communism spread throughout Asia and Europe, causing global-scale wars wherever it went. These are basic facts that everyone older than 40 should know about world history. But the indoctrination of youth continues to plague the world through the spread of false ideologies under the guise of morality and justified unfaithfulness to God, and this is called Relativism, a ramp leading up to the inevitable destruction of North America, to an extent much worse than what is currently faced by other parts of the world. I could explain how the evil agenda works, and go into much detail about what will happen and what must be done to stave off the impending world cataclysm, a conclusion you might have been hoping to skip to as a quick solution to a problem you probably have not bothered to pay attention to, considered the issues of, or listened to the voices of those saying what needs to be done. But I'm not going to paint the whole picture to spoon-feed to you. I have seen what happens when I entertain a person who refuses to think for themselves: they ignore me, and only take away the implication that they are justified in continuing pursuing thoughtless actions, such as entertaining mindless doctrines, which is to neuter themselves away from a meaningful life. In fact, all contemporary events have already been predicted (that word literally means to state in advance) by God and Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible, and if you care to know it, he also said what the solutions are. And he said it more succinctly and richly than I could. The information is available. You simply have to decide whether or not you want to pay attention to it. It will not be available forever, because deceit will cause an abomination to desolate minds to prevent them from gaining information. You cannot be of sound mind if you cannot think. And how does this desolation occur? Spiritually, as even today it grows in the hearts and minds of people throughout the world, who silently undergo continuous spiritual attacks. Had society acknowledged the existence of God, people could actually talk about their suffering; but instead, like the British government that turned on its own people, society has ostracized and stigmatized anyone who knows what they are talking about and tells the truth about it. Instead of honesty and wisdom, academia has used politics to grow weeds of ego and arrogance, where people compete to prove to anyone and everyone what they can do. Man has ignored God. This is what God has said about past civilizations who ignored him, as North America and most of the world is doing today: "When I called, they would not listen. So when they called, I would not listen." There is a reason why God said through Isaiah, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight." My conclusion, and presented solution, requires you to think for yourself. I will not explain, simply quote from Zechariah: Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep. He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left." I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied. So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty. What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the cornerstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'" (Zechariah 4:1-7). "[...] This will happen if you diligently obey the Lord your God." In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev. The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, together with their men, to entreat the Lord by asking the priests of the house of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, "Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?" Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me: "Ask all the people of the land and the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted? And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves? Are these not the words the Lord proclaimed through the earlier prophets when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills were settled?'" And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.' But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears. They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the Lord Almighty was very angry. 'When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,' says the Lord Almighty. 'I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.'" Again the word of the Lord Almighty came to me. This is what the Lord Almighty says: "I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her." This is what the Lord says: "I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me?" declares the Lord Almighty. This is what the Lord Almighty says: "I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in Jerusalem; they will be my people, and I will be faithful and righteous to them as their God." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "You who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were there when the foundation was laid for the house of the Lord Almighty, let your hands be strong so that the temple may be built. Before that time there were no wages for man or beast. No one could go about his business safely because of his enemy, for I had turned every man against his neighbor. But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as I did in the past," declares the Lord Almighty. "The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people. As you have been an object of cursing among the nations, O Judah and Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Just as I had determined to bring disaster upon you and showed no pity when your fathers angered me," says the Lord Almighty, "so now I have determined to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid. These are the things you are to do: speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this," declares the Lord. Again the word of the Lord Almighty came to me. This is what the Lord Almighty says: "The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, 'Let us go at once to entreat the Lord and seek the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.' And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, 'Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.'" (Zechariah 6:15.5-8:23). [I apologize for any misspellings or grammatical errors, because I typed these things myself. I am aware that part 9 had the subject regarding part 8, and that part 3 contained the attached images from part 2. I hope that these ten e-mail messages impart to you the context and worsening of contemporary problems which are acting as a ramp to drag us all up to an impending world cataclysm, and its definitive preventative solution. The cure to arrogance is accepting Righteousness and Salvation as your Righteousness and Salvation. So it is obvious to me what must be done. I hope you can see it too, and that you act accordingly.] -- I think it is funny when people say that I am crazy or ignore me and then what I know is going to happen happens. But they never apologize or say "I should have listened". So that's why when God warns me about something, I don't bother sharing it with anyone. I'm a little person who knows what is going to happen and watches it happen. So that's what I do, because my voice is not heard and my warnings have no attention. I wrote a 10-part e-mail series to some people I know about avoiding the impending world cataclysm. I know what I say and what I know doesn't matter to anyone, and no one wants to do anything about it. They just like to talk to make themselves feel good about themselves. They like the applause. How stupid. Then there are people who ignore matters then whine when they face the problem that the person next to them faced, and the person down the street faced, and everyone else in their country has been facing for years. They whine like little babies when their ignorance comes back around to uppercut them in the face. Look at all these morons in Europe who rejected God then complain at the alternative. When the muslim invasion horde comes and rapes all their children and butchers them like the stupid people they are. When the muslim invasion horde laughs at their stupidity because they were so easily infiltrated and taken over because they rejected God. When the muslim invasion horde of millions of people wielding swords come and laugh as they rape their women and little children. And the rest of the world just pretends nothing is going on in the house next door as their infiltrated government gathers all the people up into groups to be butchered by the thousands. Look at these morons sitting in their chairs saying they know what the British and other countries that have embraced liberalism to their own destruction should be doing. And look at the fools who use escapism to pretend that they aren't next to the chopping block. All that arrogance dragging people down to destruction. All that folly coaxing people into death. All that deceit weakening entire nations into falling to their knees before the muslim invasion horde that comes and infiltrates their broken government and stupid people and rapes and destroys their families right in front of their eyes. And look at the morons in the United Nations who think that years of banter will make the problem go away. All this extreme stupidity because they are all cowards who deny what is staring them in the face: a verdict of guilty, a verdict of unfaithful, and an imminent destruction resulting in world cataclysm. Yet I know the solution to all these problems. You think anyone cares? It's just more "opinion" and "words" to them. How stupid they are. All they had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. How stupid they are. Thus, Communism continues to wage wars across the world, and will use their arsenals to destroy The West, which is already succumbing to its own perversions. The USA should have just kept to itself, and let the stupid people figure out their own sins. We in the USA are going to suffer even worse than having our children raped and families butchered by the millions. But I guess nobody really cares about solutions, they just like to talk to make themselves look important in their own eyes. Or they just like their escapism on Facebook to pretend like their children aren't be raped in the other room. Good for them. They are getting what they deserve, exactly what they asked for: absence of God. I don't know who I was fooling. All this time doing things for these ingrates, spending money on them, listening to their desires and goals and offering my suggestions and giving my help and spending decades of my life and tens of thousands of dollars... Did I honestly think they would gain any form of understanding? Each one of them has clogged ears because they are too entrenched in their own arrogance. They don't know which way's up. I guess I was just fooling myself into thinking they could learn anything. As for the rest of you, the time has nearly come for me to terminate my presence. [...] So that's what's coming up. I know you guys don't share much of anything here, and I seem like a raving lunatic all the time, so perhaps deleting this server will mean nothing to you. I'll give you some time to think about it, out of courtesy by advanced notice. And best of all, none of you will have to put up with me anymore or painstakingly ignore what I say anymore. Good on you. -- Causation and Cause The entire history of mankind has been a repeated pattern. Thus, if the saying is correct that doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity, then the entire history of mankind is an exercise of insanity. I can't help but wonder when any particular civilization will become intelligent enough to stop repeatedly making the same mistakes. I think it is a modern marvel that the human race still exists. The pattern throughout human history occurs at multiple scales of gestalt. Simply, the pattern consists of the stages of God speaking to man, man ignoring God, man suffering and dying, God speaking to a few individuals to show man the error of his ways, and then some kind of end to either the man or his suffering. This pattern repeats so many times throughout human history that no human is able to record its every occurrence. It happens to the individual, the social gathering, the community, the city, the region, the country, and the world. In fact, there are so many examples of this pattern today, that anyone with sound mind and any accurate knowledge of history should be able to produce for themselves recognition of multiple examples. Therefore, it is possible for a person to think for themselves about the nuances and consistencies in this pattern being repeated, which means it is unnecessary to describe here. The pattern is repeated in the venue of decision and choice. Where God chose to speak to an individual, either himself or through another entity, and man decided to not pay attention to God, man continued pursuing that decision in his conversations with others, and in his words and actions, distracted and corrupted others away from matters of cosmic importance. The rebellion begins with the individual and grows through the rebel being among others. Sometimes, there are alterations to this pattern. God speaks to the individual in one way or another, and the individual listens; or the individual does not listen, but by being repeatedly told in one way or another, they are convinced that God's way is right, and then repent, and their arrogance goes away. But even when there are alterations such as this, the same pattern continues with the next person, because when the person who did listen at some point speaks to another what they have learned, that essentially becomes the first stage of the pattern, and the pattern tends to repeat itself because man does not learn from his fellow man's mistakes -- that is to say, man does not easily accept wisdom. To easily accept something is to own a value for it. A person who values money will easily accept it when it is given to them. A person who is very hungry will value edible food when it is given to them. In fact, when a person values something, they tend to seek it themselves. As a thirsty person seeks water, an intelligent man seeks wisdom. Intelligence is therefore measured by its value of wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge that is important to the well-being of life. An example of wisdom is to look both ways before crossing the road. That example is also prudence, but prudence is specifically wisdom applied to an action, or to a decision regarding an action exercised by a non-omnipotent being -- someone with partial perspective and understanding. God does not exercise prudence, because God already knows everything and is in control and has already created history and future according to his pleasure, according to his wisdom. Jesus Christ explained as much several thousand years ago. -- So I don't really feel like talking about this, but I'm going to say it anyway. Earlier today, I was eating some peanuts for breakfast. Then God told me to stop eating peanuts, to not eat the next one I was thinking of reaching for. I looked at the peanut and it didn't seem out of the ordinary, except that it maybe had a little bit more dirt or burn marks on the roasted peanut shell than the others. I also sensed an aura of darkness about it. So I didn't eat it. Then my thoughts wandered and I began thinking of other things. I started eating some more peanuts again. The first peanut I ate gave me this sudden really bad taste in my mouth, like rotten milk. I suddenly realized that I ate the peanut God told me not to eat. I had to spit it out as best I could, and I saw from what I spit out that the peanut had a kind of rot discoloration, like a water stain, on it. After I finished spitting it out into the shells bowl, I looked at the bowl of peanuts and saw that indeed that was the peanut that I took. I cracked open the next peanut and saw that it also had the same rotten discoloration. I wondered to God if I would ever find another peanut in this batch that I could eat or if I would keep finding inedible peanuts. He briefly told me something, and I kept with what I was doing. When I cracked open the next peanut, it had kind of a young look to it, like it wasn't fully ripe. I ate it and was fine with the rest of the peanuts that I ate. Permanently separate yourself from the rotten peanuts, because it is the young peanuts that God will use to continue his prosperity. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQPmpz_7s18 "Why? What crime has he committed?" -- Pontius Pilatus. All we had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4F199i5V2E Friends, "not by force or by might, but by my Spirit," says The Sovereign Lord. Keep your hands clean, for each person will be judged by their words and actions. The absolute best thing you can do is hold a public prayer, just gather the people to pray together for Mr. Robinson, the future of Great Britain, and to ask God to make people turn their hearts back to God's wisdom. If you honor God, God will honor you. He even said as much: "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge them before my Father and his angels in Heaven." You must involve The Creator if you are to ultimately succeed according to his will. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." You must remind the faithless cowards who is the boss, and whose side you are on. Ask God to change their hearts to make the right decision and "administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to each other; in your hearts do not think evil of each other". Blessings from USA. With God's help, you cannot fail. Learn from their mistakes. Trust him. God knows that your opponents and all those harming your people are against him. If you show God that you want to be on his side, God will swiftly and definitively grant you true Justice against your adversaries. It must be on his terms, not yours; do not be angry with each other, simply pray to God, who knows all things, and he himself will see that you get what you ask. Turn your hearts to God. "Test me in this," he says, "and see if I will not pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. I will protect you and heal both your people and your land, and then make you prosper so that all the nations will call you blessed." Turn your hearts to God and live! -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYrYfOHTsYg Them: He's an Alt-Left extremist who wants to be the one trying to get dirt on others. He doesn't want to be the one being exposed. Tommy - THIS IS THE KEY. Go after ALL who have written against you and expose them. The World stands with YOU Tommy Them: The hypocrisy is infuriating!!!! Tommy has changed my selfish, closed minded sheeple attitude for life. I know this fight isn't about me and my bubble comfort, it's about the future for our children's children and most importantly to understand that Freedom is NOT free. We will be horribly persecuted for our beliefs, just as Jesus was. Ephesian 6 10-20 "...full armor of God..." The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he does not exist. ... Me: Nah, that's merely more deceit. Besides, "When [the Holy Spirit] comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness and judgment. In regard to sin, because men did not believe me, in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father where you can see me no longer, and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned." "Now is the time of judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." Britain and the rest of Europe is being punished for rejecting God in their society and embracing the atheist Communist liberalism agenda to weaken and prepare for infiltration. That's what has happened, and all the people of Britain need to do is start praying together to ask God for forgiveness. All they have to do is acknowledge the only true God and turn their hearts back to him and show him they accept that his ways are right. "Let not the wise boast of wisdom, the strong boast of strength or the rich boast of riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things I delight." The reason that Communism causes wars throughout the world is because it must massacre the people there who know God and know better, in order to indoctrinate the next generation with false doctrines. Liberalism is a false doctrine from atheist Communism that has spread even to the West, and is preparing North America for infiltration and takeover. You can see that this is what is happening throughout Europe, and people don't know what to do. The answer is simple: turn your hearts back to God and show God that you want to learn your lesson. It's the only way to stem the tide of oppression. God's just waiting for you to give him the OK. Do it now before more of your children suffer for your faithlessness. Remind the people who think that they are in charge about the one who is really in charge: their God. -- "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31.5). If God really is on your side, no one can succeed against you. This is because no one can succeed against God. How then do you determine if God is on your side? Is it success that you want, or is it obedience to God that you want? Also, God and Jesus Christ said at least twice in The Scriptures, "Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test". "[...] In the same way, The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know that for which we ought to pray, but The Spirit, himself, intercedes for us with groans that [our] words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of The Spirit, because The Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose[s]..." "Even every hair on your head is assigned a number." The Lord takes care of his own, wherever they are. "...God does this because those he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified [which means disciplined and improved]; those he justified, he also glorified [through himself]. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all -- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those who God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died -- more than that, who was raised [back] to life -- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us [, and with his Most Revered Holy Spirit]. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' (Psalm 44:22). [But it is also written, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me.'] No, in all these things, we are more than conquerers through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [...] What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, 'I will have mercy upon whom I [will] have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.' [Jesus Christ also said, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.'] It does not, therefore, depend upon man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. For The Scripture says to Pharaoh: 'I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.' Therefore, God has mercy upon whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens who he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: 'Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?' But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? 'Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" ' (Isaiah 29:16; 45:9). Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath -- prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, who he prepared in advance for glory -- even us, who he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? As he says in Hosea: 'I will call them "my people" who are not my people; and I will call her "my loved one" who is not my loved one,' (which is from Hosea 2:23). and 'It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God".' (which is from Hosea 1:10). Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: 'Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved. For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality.' (Isaiah 10:22-23). It is just as Isaiah said previously: 'Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.' (Isaiah 1:9). What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the 'stumbling stone', as it is written, 'See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble, and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame,' [which Jesus Christ explained, '"The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but the one upon whom it falls will be crushed.'] Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them, that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based upon knowledge [, as Jesus Christ said, 'We speak of what we know and we testify as to what we have seen, yet still you people do not believe. I have spoken to you in Earthly terms and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak in Heavenly terms? No one has ascended into Heaven except the one who came down from Heaven: the Son of Man', and yet Jesus Christ also said, 'You Samaritans worship who you do not know. We worship who we do know, for Salvation is through the Jews. But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem, but in Spirit and in Truth; God is Spirit, and his worshippers must worship in Spirit and in Truth', and he explained, 'The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I already told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day'.] Since the Jews did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own righteousness instead, they did not submit to God's righteousness. Christ is the end[point] of the law, so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes [in God through him]." (that is from Romans 8, 9 and 10). I pray the same thing for Great Britain and the rest of Europe, that you all may learn from the bad decisions that the Jews chose, and turn your hearts back to God with the full knowledge that you cannot do it on your own, as Jesus Christ showed his disciples at Gethsemane. People need The Lord. I send you all my love from the United States of America. Please let me know privately if you need food or other support. -- "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." -- Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:14-15). -- Them: Muslims don't assimilate they INVADE and when they get the "Proper Number of MUSLIMS" what they do is cripple the Government and try to incorporate their barbaric "Sharia Law", this has been going on as far back as the 14th century that I know and I cannot believe that this invasion on every country to dominate is permitted, they should be CRUSHED !!!!! Me: "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit," says The Sovereign Lord. "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." Europe is paying for its sins. Return in your heart to God. He is just waiting for you to give the OK so he can heal your people and your land. All you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ. "Return to me, and I will return to you. Bring your entire heart to me in prayer; test me in this and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the [weed] vines will not cast its fruit. Then all the nations will call you blessed, because yours will be a delightful land." Them 2: I can't believe that people have a problem of people wanting to cover up but no one has a problem of women exposing themselves as long as a woman is happy what is everyone's problem Me: "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Women must stop prostituting themselves. "But it was not this way from the beginning. [In the beginning, it is written that God 'made them male and female'.] Therefore, what God has made one, let man not separate." -- I suffered assault and battery by police simply by walking around my neighborhood and talking to neighbors, because I needed help with a contemporaneous problem and wanted to warn them about it for themselves also. But God helped me through the problem of assault and battery by the police. Yes, it was a difficult situation to have. But here I see evidence of this country ignoring God and now you have God giving us exactly what we ask for: his absence. People need The Lord. When we do not rely upon our God, we devolve into madness. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdwNfUINd4E Someone's comment on that YouTube video: People in cults don't know they are in cults. Poor leftist/socialist/commie.Their blinded by their own bias hypocrisy. Sad so very sad. Winston Churchill once said " In the future, Fascism will be called anti fascism." & nowadays it seems true. "Through his own wisdom, man will prove himself but a fool" MP. "Facts don't care about your feelings" Quote from Ben Shapiro' I mean facts are facts people weather you like it or not. "A lie is easier to believe than truth cause you can shape it to your own narrative & ideology." Quoted by MP Nazi is an acronym for National SOCIALIST German Worker's Party. (In German) Obviously a self-declared socialist worker's party is very clearly left-wing. Contrary to popular belief, fascism can be most accurately defined as the political belief that the state is more important than the individual. This belief is what allowed fascists to justify pursuing "racial purification" of humanity. They considered the individual rights of those they killed as less important than the greater good that they fervently believed would come to humanity through the supremacy of a certain race. Essentially, fascism focussed on community, rather than the individual, which is undoubtedly a hallmark of the left wing. Also, the right-wing is always considered to be more focused on religion than the left, and fascist states were bitterly opposed to religion. The Nazis actually set up a religion called positive christianity which incorporated racial elements and the swastika, and was intended to gradually move Germany away from Christianity toward "mystical Darwinist vitalism" based on ancient Vedic (aryan) rituals. Mussolini was forced to cooperate with the Catholic Church to some extent because the Italian people were overwhelmingly devout Catholics. However, on a personal level, Mussolini was always very contemptuous of religion, and often privately referred to priests as "black flies". When fascism was on the rise throughout Europe, it was the ideology of young liberals, based on bold new ideas like eugenics that conservatives shunned. Mussolini, like Marx and Lenin, saw the party as the vanguard of the working class, a force from without the system that would usher in change. Mussolini was in fact a member of the socialist party of Italy, although he broke with the party on the issue of neutrality during World War I. It was later that Mussolini thought to combine socialism with nationalism, and form a new party. He called the combination "fascism." A fasces is a bundle of rods, each individually weak while the bundle is strong. Mussolini's counterpart in Germany called the combination "national socialism." In Germany, where they like long words, this became "Nationalsozialistische." (National Socialism in German) In America, where we like short words, this became "Nazi." Adolph Hitler was in many ways like Mussolini. Hitler, like Mussolini, was a great admirer of Marx,and was originally a member of the socialist party. Hitler, like Mussolini, served in the army of his country during World War I, and both rose to the rank of corporal. Hitler, like Mussolini, said that the members of the working class were not easily drawn to revolutionary socialism, but were responsive to a combination of socialism and nationalism. The new national socialist parties of Italy and Germany clashed with the communist parties of those countries. This was a clash of rivals both of which were revolutionary socialist and had the will to power. Then, when the traditional conservative, liberal and democratic socialist parties were in decline, the national socialists rose to power with the support of certain industrialists (we would say "crony capitalists"). The main difference between Hitler's form of national socialism and Mussolini's concerned the meaning of "nationalism." Hitler thought of nationalism along genetic lines, while Mussolini thought of nationalism along cultural lines. American progressives were, at the time, sympathetic to both points of view. Woodrow Wilson was definitely in the racist camp. Theodore Roosevelt in the cultural camp. Family planning, abortion and forced sterilization were part of the agenda, along with establishing labor colonies for the undesirable elements of society and using public schools to indoctrinate the next generation. In Oregon, the KKK was successful in outlawing private or religious schools until the Supreme Court ruled that to be unconstitutional. Then came, with the end of World War II, knowledge of the horrors that the Nazis had unleashed upon the world. Certainly, American progressives did not want to be associated with that. So, there was a whitewash of history. The connections of American progressives with the KKK, forced sterilization, experimentation on prisoners, advocacy of labor colonies, internment of Americans of Japanese descent, and admiration of fascism had to disappear from history. Even more, fascism and racism were redefined as right-wing, instead of left-wing. Me: Wow, that is a heck of a lot of falsehood. -- Jesus Christ explained that it is generous love that gets a person treasure in Heaven. -- From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXX6kJ48_gA https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/god_visits_calvary_mark_15_33_41.mp4 -- Them: A friend of mine, non beliver in anything at the moment, is considering choosing a religion. Though I don't know how serious he is about it. Anyway, he asked me to tell him about my religion. I told him some basic stuff, but he wants more. So I was wondering if maybe you have some link to/ or some short presentation you have written, about what Christianism is? And how is life when being a Christian? Me: This is the message of Christianity: Jesus Christ explained that it is generous love that gets a person treasure in Heaven. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." If you want to know God, all you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Whoever sins is a slave to sin. A slave has no permanent place in the family, but if a son sets you free, you will indeed be free." "My body is real food and my blood is real drink. Does this offend you? What if you saw the Son of Man return to where he was? The Spirit gives life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me [believe in me] unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during the Last Day; I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me, and this is his will, that I shall not lose any of all that he has given to me, but raise them up during the Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to the son and believes in him [believes the one who sent the son] will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the Last Day." And you can send him the YouTube video link I showed. -- All for one, and one for all. -- "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit," said The Sovereign Lord. On this page -- https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/national-security-defense/ -- is written, "Rebuilding U.S. deterrence to preserve peace through strength must be our Nation's top priority. The unprecedented era of peace that followed World War II revealed that the free world is safest when America is strongest. The slow depletion of our military in recent years has resulted in an escalation of threats the world over, which President Trump is committed to reversing." I agree. The greatest act of strength is to pray for our allies and enemies to repent and turn their hearts from death and sin to The Lord Almighty, God of Life. Therefore, as a United States citizen, I am asking you, Mr. President, to dedicate our various systems of government and military to God, call for a time of repentance and turning our hearts back to God, and tell our allies to trust in The Lord Almighty. I know there is only one strength and everything else is weakness. -- Once upon a time, the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, most gentle, and most humble man was present in the world. The world was suffering terribly. Many people were clamoring for others to listen to them because they knew what needed to be done to fix the problems. Those who claimed authority would only describe the problems of others, yet not lift a finger to help. During a time of evil and blindness, the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, most gentle, most humble man was present. But who would accept this god among men? When he spoke, some recognized his voice. They listened in awe. With a word or a touch, even of his clothes, even of his shadow, people who were born incurably impaired were cured and the dead came back to life. With a word or a touch, even of his clothes, even of his shadow, all kinds of sicknesses were cured, uneducated people gained understanding beyond the knowledge and wisdom of men, people overcome by evil demons had their demons forcefully evicted and were healed better than new, and good news was shared. Little children were blessed. So many amazing things happened from this one man, the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, most gentle, and most humble man. He had power and authority beyond human capability. How did he use this ultimate power? Even as he worked to his death, his ultimate power did not ultimately corrupt. He was the light in darkness. Yet he gave himself fully and died, and many conspired against him because they loved evil instead of good. What did this man say? Did he teach others? Did he share knowledge of great power and wisdom among the little children and uneducated? What did he say and do, and what were his reasons for doing all that he did? Why did he live, why did he speak, why did he die, and what happened? Answers to all these questions have been recorded for thousands of years throughout history, because the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, most gentle, and most humble man was present in the world thousands of years ago. Do you know the answers to all these questions? What have you learned to affect the way you live? -- "So this straight, white, Christian, 20-year-old male walks into a bar..." *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* "...in Baltimore." *roaring laughter* -- "Ignore your teeth, and they will go away." -- a family friend -- Me: So how are things going?

Otherwise, I am left with trying to answer questions people ask me as strange as: "How much does love weigh in cubic squared peaches per second while the Polish salt rations are low and under a full moon while on the 12th hump of a purple camel?" Then when I take a few seconds to give them an answer, they press me and say, "Yes or no?" That's how it is trying to answer questions people invent about God and why God does things. So I'm sorry if what I say is a little... off-putting. I'm left with saying something like, "...That's not how it works," which can be really offensive for people to hear. So then when I don't say something like that but proceed to calmly and logically explain so they could maybe understand proper context and the answer to what they are really wondering about -- the question behind their question -- then they interrupt me before I can finish a sentence and accuse me of not answering their question. At that point, I continue to calmly explain, and as surely as gravity, they give me a hard time and start fighting with me, at which point I simply walk away. It's like a scripted play, orchestrated by Satan, who, as Jesus Christ explained, takes away the seed sown in their heart so that they might not understand and be kept safe. Then I get people using straw-man tactics to call me what I'm not and proceed to denounce their depiction of me so that they might harm my reputation and credibility, further preventing others from understanding what I have to say and from understanding the wisdom and logic I desire to impart to help them out of their confusion. So that is why, when I am at the top of my game, I simply say, "Listen to Jesus Christ", and nothing else. -- Real beauty is revelations by God through Jesus Christ's words. Real beauty is what God does to give a person eternal life: "and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent". An example is the revelation that Jesus Christ is God's hand. These revelations are real beauty, and all other beauty is merely opinionated beauty of a partial perspective and context of experience, like an attractive woman standing at a certain angle to have her picture taken to be sold to some adolescent males. -- John MacArthur has stated some of what The Most Revered Holy Spirit does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8fHRZWuoio -- God loves us all, God Saves is Life! "But when the Son of Man [returns], will he find faith on Earth?" Have faith in God; trust that God is in control and will always take care of you. Trust in God's Faithfulness. "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you; and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there so that you may be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father therefore as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." "The Father is in me and I am in the Father." -- Me: The dishonest and malicious tactics that have been utilized by some people to hurt others such as myself in the different social aspects of the Halo communities, these are terms you should research: gaslighting, straw man, blackball, and borked. That behavior must end and we who are here must act at all times with integrity -- and strength comes from God's Presence and knowledge of God. Jesus Christ is God's presence; his name is "Immanuel", which means "God with us". "Remain in me and I will remain in you. Whoever has my words and obeys them is the one who loves me. To whomever loves me, my Father and I will come make our home within their heart. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words are not my own, but they come from The Father." True, resilient love and all good things come from The Only True God. It should not be surprising why I have shared his words with you all, even with those who severely rejected me over the years. I speak not for my benefit, but for the hope that you might understand and gain eternal life, to truly know and understand all things through The Sovereign Lord. It is more than that they have been incorrect. They engaged in personal attacks constantly, and I was not their only target. Others who were calm, unengaged, and who visited, the newcomers, were also mistreated. It's not enough to be correct; as Professor Christopher Stefanick has explained, "you can lovingly, charitably say, 'You are incorrect, sir'," even as Jesus Christ said to the Sadducees as recorded in the Holy Bible: "Aren't you in error because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?" But I'm watching this video and pausing it at about 32 minutes in, because Jesus Christ succinctly said in that one sentence what these five educated and rather-correct theologians have not thus far quoted, but are trying to say or should have been having in their minds, perhaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhG2CBVQy3w And there are many other things Jesus Christ said and did, explaining and leading people to eternal life ("this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent"), out of Mercy and Compassion -- Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness, which he has explained he "exercises on Earth because in these things I delight". I am not a very loving, gentle person. Don't let my flaws be your influence, and do not let the flaws of others be your guide. Everyone needs to cross over from death to life by understanding and believing in God's only begotten son. He gave himself freely for all mankind, pouring out his life as God's Living Word, as the only way to God, the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, and as Life himself. He explains all things, even the inexplicable, to those he disciplines, because "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights". And that which he does not explain in human words he rationalizes in trust and faith, which are his instruments of well-being, even as he explained, "I do nothing without reason". -- Them: hhey Me: Hey.

(This message is sent to the London contact of Amnesty International, and in blind carbon copy to the mayor of the town where my family has lived for three generations.) To Whom It May Concern: I use AdBlock with my web browser. Today, which is World Day Against Cyber Censorship, ads were replaced by a link to Amnesty.org. After viewing some of the Amnesty International web site, I would like to share some of my contemporaneous experiences. Over the past few years, I have attempted to share my thoughts and beliefs with people, but in quite nearly every situation, I am ignored and ostracized. I am hoping that some of what I share with you will at least provide some encouragement. I live on the east coast of USA. Do not think for one moment that freedom is recognized where I live. I will cite a few examples of my recent experiences that have left me chagrined at merely attempting to communicate. In February, 2013, I wrote this document, titled "We Do Not Need Weapons", and contacted my local state representative. After repeated contacts, his secretaries brushed me off, basically saying that my representative was too busy to give me the time of day. Last year, someone recommended that I contact the National Rifle Association (NRA). The NRA brushed me off, but in a slightly more considerate manner. Several years ago, I went to a local Presbyterian church to pray in its chapel. God spoke to me there, as I was on my way out. He gave me, "I am weak, but God is Almighty," to which I later appended, "...and loves me." In my joy, I went to the main office in a nearby room and spoke with the ladies there, one of whom has known me (for many years, I played the trumpet during worship there), and I told her that I greatly appreciated being able to come and pray in the chapel. I inquired whether she knew of any churches that were open all the time where I might also go to pray when I felt the need. After that, I went home. A few minutes later, some police officers rang my doorbell and inquired whether I was going to hurt myself or anyone else. They insisted that I speak to a recommended pastor, who just so happened to be the pastor at another local Presbyterian church. So one of the officers waited with me there, the pastor on call drove up to my house, got out of his car, and sat down with me on my front steps, and I explained to him that all I did was go to the chapel to pray, then asked the secretary there who knew me whether she knew of any churches that were open all the time where I might pray when I felt the need. After much weird discourse, he left and so I went back inside my house. I later sent the lady an e-mail saying that I forgave her for putting me through that ordeal. I have not set foot in that church since. That same pastor who sat with me on the front steps of my house attended a different church, and since he was welcoming of me, I decided to go there a few times. To make a long story short, the congregation of the church was very friendly and welcoming in general, but the pastor who had spoken to me was really not. Our last encounter involved me wanting to speak with him to share what I had learned about God and Jesus Christ, but instead him sitting me down and harshly verbally abusing me in all different ways without any willingness to listen to a word I said. Suffice it to say, my mother wrote him a letter in my defense, and I chose to never be around that area again. While I was growing up, I lived in a nearby town. Sometime last year, I went to the Catholic church there where I was in the past baptized. I had also played music there and had attended services there in the past. For Mother's Day last year, I typed up a nice poem and handed it to people as they entered the church; beforehand, I also shared a nice poem with the people at the Presbyterian church whose pastor went berserk on me, and they really enjoyed my poetry. The congregation at this Catholic church seemed very appreciative of my poem, and very friendly. Given this positive experience, at a later date, I decided to go back and share more of what I had learned from God. This time, I took notes for myself during the sermon, and at the end of the service, attempted to speak with people. The priest was not welcoming of me when I spoke with him, and he brushed me off; by his expression, apparently he felt threatened that I had enjoyed taking notes about what he said during the sermon and that I wanted to speak (at all to him or anyone else). However, one elderly lady agreed to stay and listen to me (whereas some other people looked at me like I was a freak and walked away, others made excuses, etc.), and for the next few minutes, I shared with her what I had written down in a notebook, before the janitor turned off the lights and kicked me out. I have not been to the church where I was baptized since. On one occasion last year, the Holy Spirit moved me to write a message on some poster board in red ink. It said, "You have the right to praise Jesus Christ." So I finger-painted the blood-red ink on the white poster board, then walked down the street and held it up facing a local Catholic church I had attended twice in the past. I just stood there, holding the sign high up in the air, in full view of highway traffic. Once I was done there, I walked back towards my house, then kept walking past my street. I ended up walking to various corners along that highway road, holding the sign. Public responses were overwhelmingly positive. The next day, I added a message to the other side, a message in Latin intended to say "Chosen to serve The Truth". This dual-messaged poster I again held up, but instead of going where I went before, I stood just at the end of the street to my house. A local business owner said that a Jewish woman, a potential customer, complained to him about my sign. He and another man drove up to me in a golf cart there, and asked me to go to the other side of the road instead. So I apologized and went to the other side of the road. Two or three times, my mother drove up to me and told me to get into the car, then drove me back home, absolutely furious with me, yelling that I was dumb for doing that because of the apparently high risk of a drive-by shooting. After the last time, I reluctantly chose to "honor my father and mother" and never again stand on the side of the road holding a sign saying anything. It was very windy and raining anyway, so holding the poster board would have just ruined it more. For at least the past ten years, I have gone far out of my way, far beyond what most people would do, in order to try to find anyone who will simply listen to me. I have e-mailed churches, I have attended churches, I have become a member of various online communities in order to help and participate and do good, and yet in every situation, I find that there is only one person at a time, and on rare occasion, who is willing to listen. Therefore, I tell you, if you are so inclined, read some small snippets of what I have attempted to share, but as a result of which I have experienced rejection instead: [ link updated: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/documents/we_do_not_need_weapons.pdf ] [ link updated: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ ] This year, due to all the antagonism and rejection I have received from those who were charged by society to listen instead (family members, school teachers, church leaders, police, political representatives, community leaders, etc.), I have chosen to remain silent. I have spoken with family, spoken with friends, spoken with colleagues, spoken with professors, written essays, written articles, written poems, published things online, attempted to contact newspapers and other news media, sent e-mails, photocopied my documents and distributed them, initiated books, composed, performed and recorded music, stood on street corners, spoken to clergy, jumped through ridiculous hoops, and generally suffered absurdity and malfeasance. Life is difficult for everyone, but as a result of what I have said and done, I am ignored or greatly resented by everyone I have known, no exaggeration. Only some few strangers I have met care to care. So my decision is to remain silent, because those I invited did not deserve to come to the feast. The brilliance of my vast wealth of education from God will simply fade from my memory, even though if anyone had listened, what I learned might have helped someone (understatement intended), and the gift would keep giving. The world would call this e-mail here a manifesto, though in fact it is simply a final statement. Happy World Day Against Cyber Censorship! I no longer go to any church or public location, nor do I want to have anything to do with anyone ever again. Very truly, Jesus Christ was right when he said, "All men will hate you because of me." So I ask you now, what is freedom? Even though I am not imprisoned, am I free? What is a prisoner besides a person to whom nobody listens?

[e-mail message end] [no reply from "Bcc: clerk@shrewsburyboro.com"] -- Them: Hey :) How are you these days, [name]? Sis said one of these later days that she listened to some radio show where a former Christian priest said he quitted being a priest cuz he stopped believing in God and that He exists. Sis said that the priest even had advanced university studies in religion and studied old Greek texts. But all his study "leaded" him to the conclusion that God doesn't exist, that there's no proof of that. The priest said stuff like, for example, you don't have to believe in God to be a good person and help other people near you, that you can do that in the civil society as volunteer work. Sis said that priest said that even if he stopped believing in God, the people who were coming to the Church where he was serving and his superiors still wanted him there on the job, but he quitted cuz "he couldn't say, for example, to a mother, that her son is now in a better place after he died, since he didn't believe in God anymore". Sis has periods when she attends Church quite often, by far more often than I do, especially on early evening services when they're not so many people and crowds to keep commenting and mumble about you no matter what you do (like, if you stand on your knees at certain parts of the service, how you're dressed, etc). Then sometime sis has periods when she hardly goes to Church. Now she is in one of those periods when she is attending Church quite often. She says that going her it makes her feel some peace and be more serene. I worry that the radio show with that ex-priest might have an influence on this tho. She seemed pretty moved by that man's speech. What should I tell her? I'm not sure what is best thing to tell her, so she doesn't let that stupid radio show lessen her faith in God, and her attendance to Church. It would be a real pity if that happens... Hugs, [name] Me: Listening to Jesus Christ is the only way to knowing God. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Trusting in anyone else is misplaced trust, like trying to build your house on quicksand. There is a hymn with the lyrics, "On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand!" Them: May I show your last reply to sis? Me: I don't mind. What I say can be shared with the world. -- From http://thegracelifepulpit.com/Sermons.aspx?code=2018-08-19-MR [...]And the more disadvantages and victim statuses that a person can claim for herself, the more qualified that person is to speak to the culture with moral authority. Our culture has taught its people that the more offended someone is, the more right they are. Our most celebrated heroes seem to be those who have been able to project themselves as the greatest victims of a majority culture dominated by "income inequality," racism, patriarchy, and bigotry. When you combine that mentality with a radically-politicized press, the prevalence of what's called "fake news," and social media's ability to spread information on a potentially worldwide platform without the accountability of peer-reviewed journalism, any quasi-plausible accusation--no matter how outrageous its content, no matter how reputable its victim--is regarded as true until proven false. And that means that the one accused in the matter is guilty until proven innocent. Now, this phenomenon--that the accused is guilty until proven innocent--approaches the epitome of injustice, biblically defined. And that's nothing if not ironic, because more often than not, those who lend credence to these salacious tales by passing along unsubstantiated accusations style themselves the mavens and protectors of social justice! And the reason it's so heinous is because of how great the potential for destruction is. In James chapter 3, James reminds us that great forests are set ablaze by such a small fire that is the unglorified human tongue. He calls the tongue "the very world of iniquity," and says that it is "set on fire by hell" itself. by Mike Riccardi Me: But it's worse than that. The people who are actually oppressed go ignored, while those who use their words to do the most damage to others are given the microphone. The negligence towards revealing actual problems by favoring the platform for irrational and ignorant voices in order to foster divisiveness instead of do actual good for society by voicing neglected wisdom of people who are oppressed on account of decency, integrity, truth, and righteousness, is why the microphone-handlers are called fake news reporters. They ignore the desperate and broadcast the malicious. They ignore the valid and abet the liars. They hate the truth and seek the despicable. They create straw men to brainwash us with their manipulative, undermining, false doctrines, and they do actual harm to the psyche of men, rather than stand for any kind of integrity at all. That is lying news. That is deceptive news. That is destructive news. That is fake news. But liars love their broadcasting privileges, whereas Jesus Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world," and "they will all be taught by God". So while God acts in secret to give his people life and wisdom to the fullest, the pagans thrust their groins at God and God's footstool. God neither needs nor wants a microphone. All creation trembles at his voice. The narcissists love to point at themselves, but God points to Jesus Christ and has said, "This is my son, who I love, and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" Those in the Kingdom of God do not need to have their words published. "Everything hidden will be made known, and everything concealed will be fully disclosed." -- Me: I am not worthy of your consideration. What does Jesus Christ say? You know God through him, so what does God tell you to do? Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy. Jealousy means to desire what belongs to you, what is rightfully yours. "I am a jealous God; I am burning with jealousy for Zion." But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. (Matthew 22:18-22). -- The only value in something is that it pleases God. If something does not please God, it has no value. If you are brave enough to bring your thought processes and your heart to God, he will guide you into well-being and actual success. This not by your definitions and values, but by his own goodness. God is faithful to those who trust him. God alone is good; "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." You know and recognize God by learning from what Jesus Christ has said, and having eternal life thereby: "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "My sheep recognize my voice. I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." How do I know God's voice? I recognize his voice through Jesus Christ's words. "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, then I will come back and take you there so that you may be with me where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] the Father is in me and I am in the Father." -- If you knew that you were going to die soon, how would you spend your last moments? Would you struggle to survive? Would you live however you want, as a last moment of pleasure or freedom of will? Would you value integrity and wisdom by living according to God's will as a final submission to him? Would you remember that you will continue to live even though you die? Would you demand all others to be silent in respect of hearing your last words? Would you request a final meal? Would you want to be alone or among family or friends? If you knew that you were going to die because of poor health choices, would you ask for ice cream, cookies, and cake, as a last reach for pleasure before your life was demanded from you, or would you use your last days on Earth in acceptance and according to correct health choices, perhaps as an example to impressionable others to do what is right? "The child is not dead, but asleep." "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up. [...] Lazarus is dead, and for your sake, I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him. [...] Your brother will rise again. [...] I am The Resurrection and The Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? [...] Where have you laid him? [...] Take away the stone. [...] Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God? [...] Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me. [...] Lazarus, come out! [...] Take off the grave clothes and let him go." "Now about the dead rising -- have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!" When you understand that you continue to live, even though you die, and that God is of the living, here and now present with you through His Most Revered Holy Spirit, you will understand that instead of rebellion as your last days or last moments, it is wiser (better for your well-being) to show faithfulness and trust in God's control without putting him to the test. After all, the world is unfaithful -- they could not even hold onto you, as you see -- but The Sovereign Lord demands your life back from you, as he said to the man who had a plan to store up his food and take life easy and be merry, "'You fool! This very night, your life will be demanded back from you. Then who will get what you have stored up for yourself?' This is how it will be with anyone who is rich towards themselves but is not rich towards God." Therefore, repent and "first seek The Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and everything else you need will be given to you". -- Ignorance leads to folly. Do you enjoy being lied to? How does it feel to be deceived by a hundred million infiltrating warmongers and by their anti-Christ? I bet it doesn't feel so good to have your neighborhood taken over by an army of rapists and butchers who proclaim all day long their lust for your blood to flow into your sewers and for your little children to be ass-raped by 100 of their cohorts in the middle of the street. You stupid, stupid people. Why did you ever forsake your God? He has hidden his face from you, so he cannot be seen nor found. Instead, you have become the sex slaves of demon-worshippers. Is it too late for you to repent? Britain and all the rest of the world, either embrace your evil usurpers or repent with all your heart, mind, soul, and will. You are all unclean. And if you do not repent, thus does your unfaithfulness escalate into Eschaton. This will not magically end, and no one will come to your rescue. You will be destroyed, because you are too stupid to put your faith in God, and then your weapons of mass destruction will be used to wage war around the globe. How are you so stupid, and how are you so untrustworthy? It is because you have rebelled against the God of Wisdom and Life who alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. You fools! Don't you see you are about to be destroyed and your legacies erased from the history books? Revel in your brutal executions, faithless cowards! You will die as you asked God to make you die, you and all your little children with you. And you will be forgotten. But you will not be forgotten by God; he will indeed remember your unfaithfulness when he chooses whether to send you to Hell or to forgive your evil hearts and allow you into Heaven. Repent and turn your hearts back to God. Get off your lazy asses and pray already. Do you need a hot brand to get your attention? Am I being too vulgar for your adulterous ears? How stupid you will feel in a few days when you say, "Why didn't I listen? Oh why didn't I just listen?" Your own people will frown and look away from you in disgust of you as your head is cut off in the street. They will mock you, saying, "Why, oh why didn't you listen? Ha!" Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Jesus Christ showed that the status quo is not God's word. Only through Jesus Christ is there the correct path away from popular opinion and popular doctrine. -- You will not find a bright light that does not use electricity available on Amazon.com. "Where can I find a bright light that does not use electricity?" I wondered. Then I saw something I did not expect, and it blinded my eyes for a moment. And I saw that this light was beautiful through the window on the ground. I stepped into the light, remembering Jesus Christ's words. It was warm sunlight. So I praised God for his Sun. I thought about social interaction and how I might say something to others about this. But it was not a good thing to say in God's sight, and my thoughts betrayed me, and looking down at a tract of lawn, God said to me, "Can a scientist create this?". I loathed my wayward thoughts. I also remembered as Jesus Christ explained about God being merciful through sunlight. And God was merciful, putting clouds to dim the light as I needed. I felt and saw his merciful, working face, and I fully felt that no scientist can do this. So my wayward thoughts of comparing God to a scientist were fully gone. And I was disgraced, even as I thought to myself that joy and happiness is only given by God. Jesus Christ explained such matters. If whatever I say could possibly cause others to praise Jesus Christ, then it is worth sharing. A good tree praises Jesus Christ for everything and any thought. A bad tree ignores Jesus Christ and therefore gives bad fruit -- nothing to eat. "A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit; each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brins evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? But I tell you that men will have to give account on The Day of Judgment even for every careless word they have spoken; by your words you will be pardoned, and by your words you will be condemned." But I must "not share precious valuables with dogs or pigs, or else they might trample them and turn and tear [me] to pieces". But "God alone is good". -- Money does not alter wisdom or reason. To which do you assign more value: money, or wisdom and reason? Which is better: money, or wisdom and reason? And which is more trustworthy: money, or wisdom and reason? "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." "[...] What good is it for a man to gain the world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what could a person possibly exchange in order to buy back his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful [race], the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he returns in his Father's Glory with all his angels. I tell you the truth, there are some who are standing here who will not taste death before they see The Son of Man approaching with his Kingdom." "You cannot serve both God and money." "[...] I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. Whoever can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with little will be dishonest with much. If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly goods, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy in handling someone else's possessions, who will give you possessions of your own?" "From whomever has been given much, much will be asked, and from whomever has been entrusted with much, much more will be demanded. Everyone who has will be given more, and will have an abundance. From everyone who does not have, even what they have will be taken away from them." "The eye is the lamp of the body. [...]" So "do not store up for yourselves treasure on Earth, which is depleted or wears out, and where thieves break in and steal, and where moth and rust destroy, but store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, which will not be depleted, and where thieves cannot break in and steal, and moth and rust do not destroy. Do so because where your treasure is, there your heart also will be." -- I hear music in Jesus' voice. -- To believe in yourself is to be ensnared in your own ego. Anyone who tells you to believe in yourself is deceiving you and is a blind guide. "The work of God is to believe the one he sent." "Trust God; also trust me," said Jesus Christ. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior. I will not share my glory with another." God is jealous; God desires those who belong to him. God desires your heart, mind, soul and will; God is burning with desire for all creatures to trust in him through his only begotten son, whose name is God Saves, The Anointed One. "He is not God of the dead, but of the living..." "Be patient, and do not put The Lord your God to the test." Do not believe in yourself; instead, believe Jesus Christ who is the only son of God, and accept him -- Righteousness and Salvation himself -- as your Righteousness and Salvation. Listen to Jesus Christ. Why does God give a person an opportunity to repent if he knows they will not do so? God said to me very sadly that it is to humble their hearts, that they would stop trusting in themselves and instead entrust their fate to him. Do not be your own righteousness, and stop believing in yourself already. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and God alone is good. "There is a difference between you and God: God never thinks he's you." -- Christopher Stefanick -- Clarifying, I do not need to make any of you believe; I merely encourage for you to know and understand what will help you all the days of your life. -- Vulnerability You are vulnerable. The reason is because you are weak and God is Almighty. God does not have a problem with your weakness and your vulnerability. He made it this way so that you would just trust in him and his Spirit. "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." If you want to be safe, "put your trust in the truth while you have it, before darkness overtakes you". "If you love me, you will obey my commands." "[...] Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. For them, I have sanctified myself, so that they too may be truly sanctified. [...]" "They will put some of you to death," so safety (being saved, salvation, being kept safe) is about peace, which is about the eternal: "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." Trust in God and Jesus Christ. Listen to Jesus Christ. Now consider this: with rational thought and logic, among a context of infinite wisdom, logic, and only reason, I have taken some to give to you so that you will know where to find these things. Ambition is folly. Buying into the belief that the personal self can and should improve itself throughout its lifetime is unjust, because God alone is Good, and said, "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." Therefore, you cannot offend God with your mind when your desire is to know, love, and serve God by obeying his Commandments. "But God knows your hearts. What is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." Neither wayward thought nor pursuit of knowledge can separate you from Jesus Christ's hand. Listen to Jesus Christ, and then believe in him because of what he has said and done. "The Father is in me and I am in the Father." "None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction [Judas] so that Scripture would be fulfilled." Contentment is not wisdom, but ambition leads you to ignore Jesus Christ and God. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind God's interests, but man's interests." So you must have in mind God's interests if you are to ever succeed -- yes, success means eternal life ("And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent.") and to succeed means to have eternal life. Therefore, to know God and Jesus Christ is to succeed, and therefore all sheep of Jesus Christ's flock have already succeeded in their lifetime. They have not accomplished nor achieved, but permanently gained eternal presence with God through Jesus Christ, Immanuel. Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. "With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." And "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent," who is Jesus Christ, God's only son, who he sent into the world to save from sin and death by "testify[ing] to the truth; everyone on the side of truth listens to me," Jesus Christ said. So listen to Jesus Christ and do not pursue the wayward desires of your heart which lead you from one trap to the next, like a sheep walking around in circles or wandering off away from safety. "I am the good shepherd," said Jesus Christ. "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" said God. New Oxford American Dictionary: - sheep. noun. (plural: sheep) 1) A domesticated ruminant animal with a thick, woolly coat and (typically only in the male) curving horns. It is kept in flocks for its wool or meat, and is proverbial for its tendency to follow others in the flock. [Ovis aries, family Bovidae, descended from the wild mouflon.] A wild mammal related to this, such as the argali, bighorn, and urial. 2) A person who is too easily influenced or led: the party members had become sheep, and she refused to be taken in. 3) A person regarded as a protected follower of God. [with biblical allusion to Luke 15:6.] informal: A member of a minister's congregation. - The citation of Luke 15:6 here is disgraceful. It is in the middle of a sentence, and the New Oxford American Dictionary lays that there as a trap, like a wolf stalking a sheep, as God and Jesus Christ explained: "Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering, he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.'" (Genesis 4:2.5-7). God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." "My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of The Lord." [That is that one must only speak what God has given him to speak.] With what shall I come before The Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with [young] calves a year old? [I desire mercy, not sacrifice; righteousness [[and acknowledgment of, and knowledge of, God, as he explained, "Let not the wise boast of wisdom, nor the strong boast of strength, nor the rich boast of riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things I delight."]] rather than [[or more than]] burnt offerings.] Will The Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? [Satan said to Jesus Christ that he would give him all the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would bow down and worship him. Jesus replied, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.' [[a clarification of what was described in the way as to take your oaths in his name, which Jesus also clarified that a person must not swear at all, but simply 'let your "yes" be yes and your "no" be no; anything else comes from the evil one'.]]" So it is a matter of the heart, mind, soul and will, not possessions: "Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." "Be careful to keep my decrees, so that it will go well with you all the days of your life, and so you will inherit the land God promised to you through your forefathers." So as to say that "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright? Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and ignored my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you. Bring the entire offering... test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all." We as a people have rebelled against God: "Yes, I have already cursed [[your blessings]] because you have not set your heart to honor me." So bring your heart to God and do not judge others.] Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? [These people were not disciplining their children into the knowledge and obedience of God who alone is Good.] He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. [Justice, Kindness, and Righteousness (Faithfulness to God is Righteousness) as who Jesus Christ is and what Jesus Christ does.] [...] (Micah 6:5). So if it is not "possible" for you due to a mental disorder or handicap, consider: "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim to be able to see, your guilt remains." "Whoever has will be given more and will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they [think they] have will be taken from them." "That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." But do what you can to obey God: do not desire what belongs to someone else or take what is not given to you, do not be angry with a person or kill a person, do not look at a person with sexual desire for them and do not commit sexual acts or thoughts to or towards a person to whom you are not already married, do not speak false information but be a person exclusively of truth, prefer to assist your parents and do what you can to help them and learn from them and do good, decent, kind things for them and adhere to gentleness, and love all people and do good to them even if all you see others doing is bad. Do not steal, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself (love the person who is within your proximity as if they were you). These are God's commands of goodness and well-being. Obey them to the best of your capacity, and know that God understands you and your heart. "Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. Whoever loves me, my Father and I will love, and we will make our home with them. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words are not from me, but belong to my Father." That is what Jesus Christ said. Learn from Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is The Teacher who brings everyone to himself for their well-being and understanding. "But after I have risen, I will draw all mankind to myself." He already rose from the grave, so that means that he is currently bringing all people's hearts to himself. He earlier said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." This is because God does not trust anyone else with your fate. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." So listen to Jesus Christ's words as they have been recorded throughout history, and see for yourself if his words are good, from the only true God who alone is purely and absolutely and ultimately perfectly good of himself and not of flawed others; "I will not share [ownership of] my glory with [anyone]". Therefore, honor God in your heart, ask him for help, and obey what he has commanded of us all. Them: I don't have that speacial relation with God and Jesus Christ, like you seem to have. So I don't hear that music, never did, unfortunately. Maybe I am not such a good Christian like you are, or maybe it is not my destiny to have revelations. Oh, and I am not even sure if what I wrote above last evening makes any sense, I don't have your wide religious culture, I don't know that many things like you do, related to Christianity. That's why, sometime, even if I'd like to comment or say what it means to me, when you say something from God and Jesus Christ's teachins, I keep my mouth shut, afraid not to make a fool of myself, given the little religious culture that I have ... Me: [...] If you want "a special relation" with God and Jesus Christ, simply listen to Jesus Christ's words. Think about what he has said and done, and talk to him about it. God is a real, living being, he is Spirit, not flesh and blood, and he will answer you. He is kind and he works to help you every day. He is not a person who you see like you see other people on Earth, but you can recognize his voice through Jesus Christ's words. But this is not your decision to make; it is all up to God, because God is in control and "No one can come to me unless my Father enables them, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day (the end of the world)." -- Me: Would you call Martin Luther King, Jr. a patriot? Listen to what he has said, and look at what he is doing. Is that not patriotic? The message on the Statue of Liberty, as found online: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It could have said as well, "Give me your poor, your weak, your prisoners, your outcasts." "Everyone who sins is a slave to sin," Jesus Christ explained. So yeah those videos don't have anything to do with Halo; they are part of a separate thing. I'll just erase them from here, no need to spam you with my video uploads. OK I want to ask you all a question. How many of you would stay @here after I leave? Just to be clear, I have invited you many times to different Discord servers and many of you joined. But in this case, there would not be a place for me to invite you to follow me. So I'm wondering if you think you would stay here. Don't worry, I'm not a megalomaniac who fantasizes about people following me around. It's quite the contrary, in fact: I prefer to be alone. While I appreciate that you all joined this server, when I leave, would you stay anyway? Something to think about. Them: wouldnt be the same without u sparky. dont leave us! Me: I must. My path takes me increasingly into solitude, and it is no different now. As I speak, I do only for God, no longer so others can understand. I've had enough. In this way I move on. For the man who praises God from his heart sees all because the one who knows all is within him, and he knows all because the one who sees all teaches him all that is all he must know. As provided is the one who harbors The Master of Truth. And it is not for others to know. The one who praises God is given God by God. There is no greater generosity. Them: serious question, and this is going to be blunt: Are you just going off and then starting another discord in 1-2 months again? because this would be like the.. 5th time? Me: So to God be all glory and honor and praise, appropriately. And let all others fail to know or understand and perceive, because it is not for them who harbor not God. When I give warning ahead of time, as I have done in the past, thereby I do so through purpose and do not lie. Them: [struck-through text] except for that time you defended a child in your server who was breaking the rules over and over and claimed you didn't later on Me: As one of Jesus Christ, I am taught in my lifetime to do as he does. So as he does I must do and do. Therefore, no. I do not return when I say I will leave and not return. "Simply let your 'yes' be yes, and your 'no' be no. Anything else comes from the evil one." If I say that I must, you have no reason to not take me seriously. But God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Make no mistake: I am not worth consideration or time. I do not grant understanding. I said earlier that "I will do what I will do". I do not see a time when I will return. I may or may not leave before any of my tasks are completed, or any other provisions have been made. But I have given a period of time to adjust, as you have seen, from my repeated mention of it over a period of time, and from my designation of responsible individuals to manage this that was intended for you. So in answer to your blunt question, I do not see myself starting another discord. Mine is a path of solitude as it has been all along. I just didn't want to realize it. It hasn't changed course except as it must. I am not in control, but I can weakly apologize for the inconvenience, sorry. I can also apologize for all that I proclaimed designs but did not give. Sorry for that too, although in part it was done, to an extent. I did a lot, but it is time for it to end soon. May God guide you in mercy and grace into well-founded, secure individuals who learn to trust in him and have faith in him who "holds in his hand your life and all your paths". The greatest wisdom I have ever said was "listen to Jesus Christ" and you heard me say it many times because of that fact of it being the best that I can give. All else is mere passing fantasy or brief entertainment, and so I have been giving my time in part to my own plans that I knew were not best. But God allowed me to do this because as he explained "This is how it will be with everyone who is rich towards themselves but is not rich towards God." I have been in part somewhat rich towards God, but nowhere near my capacity, and it is as stunted growth. But now I speak only on my own, so what should I say? There is only one who matters, and he is much better than me, to the extent of humorous comparison. So I tell you all that I am not worth the time or consideration. And it is true. So you were never at fault and will not be guilty towards me. That is the fact with which I leave you. If I can, I'll let you know when I am finally leaving. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, In God and Christ alone I trust. To all the world let freedom ring, Each man to God his spirit bring. All that I had is nothing now, For Christ my soul will sweat its brow, So that in him I might present To God his own in fullest vent. I am not worth a single thought, But for him, to him praise I brought, As if to beg his Majesty To think of me eternally. But nothing of myself is worth The time he's given from my birth, So here I am in fullest praise, To honor him for all my days. -- Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, In God and Christ alone I trust.

I write not for their understanding. Henceforth, it is for God, to praise. God knows more than knowledge, Is more wise than wisdom, Understands more than understanding, Is more powerful than Power... There is only one and his son. He invented comprehension and controls all. "No one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so..." -- Me: I want to ask you something. A favor. But tell me ahead of time if you will do it. I want you to do something. Will you do it? Say yes or no. Them: If it is legal and falls within the teachings of God and Jesus Christ, sure. [...] Me: I want you to come up with Romanian words of praise to sing to this song on your own, privately. Do this for me. Don't share the lyrics.

Then, I listened. Yesterday, I spoke. Now, I am silent. First, I was present. Then, I was ignored. Yesterday, I gave. Now, I live. First, I was obscure. Then, I hid myself. Yesterday, I was hidden. Now, I'm gone. -- You have to have Jesus in your heart! -- Mother Teresa (cited by Christopher Stefanick) -- There will be large-scale devastation. This will happen not because of a lack of love or a lack of understanding or a lack of fellowship or a lack of peace. This will happen because of your faithlessness, because you have been faithless even though God alone is good and does not change. So God gives you exactly what you want and exactly what you asked for: his rebuke is sent through generations of people who have neglected his decrees and spoken without his words on their lips and written without honoring his words. You ask in your adulterous heart for God to be absent, to leave you alone to your own devices, and so you have asked for his wrath. Will you complain that God does not give you what you ask? "Because of you, I will rebuke your descendants. I will smear on your faces the dung from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 2:3-4). All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. -- I keep seeing people making excuses for "honoring Mary". What about Matthew 12:46-50 and John 18:36 and Exodus 20:4? (In response to a video asserting a reason "why Catholics honor Mary"): Them 1: So Catholics honor Mary because the Roman Catholic Church tells them too is basically the answer Them 2: No. We honor Mary because she is the mother of God. Me: [Them 2], God said "I am the alpha, the omega, the first, the last, the beginning, and the end." Therefore, if God is the beginning and the end, how can he have a mother? And if God is the Almighty Creator of All that ever was, is, and will be, who created God's mother to give birth to him? And what about everything that God explained through Jesus Christ; am I to be so easily convinced to believe notions contrary to my God's guidance? And why assign motherhood to Mary of which Jesus Christ disapproved, as he deliberately corrected in his explanation through Matthew 12:46-50? This doctrine that calls Jesus Christ the son of Mary would be ignorance coming from someone who admitted blindness, but now speaks of guilt from those who profess to understand but clearly are incorrect by so much of what God said and did through his only son Jesus Christ. -- Christopher Stefanick: Jesus called the Holy Spirit "the Advocate". An advocate builds you up. He's got your back. The book of Revelations calls the Devil "the Accuser". An accuser is the opposite of an advocate. He's always working to rip you down. You are in the midst of an epic spiritual battle between The Advocate and The Accuser, and the frontline is between your ears. [...] Me: But Satan boosts your ego so that you are more susceptible to arrogance, an evil, exactly as Satan did to Jesus Christ in the desert. Satan will tell you how wonderful he thinks you are, to make your mind turn away from assigning ALL PRAISE to Jesus Christ and God who is within Jesus Christ which is where ALL PRAISE belongs. The cure to arrogance is accepting Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation. That is the proper shield over one's heart which Satan cannot penetrate, as Jesus Christ explained: "And I tell you that you [who say that I am The Christ, the Son of the living God] are Peter [bedrock] and on this rock [foundation] I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven..." "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be filled with light. If your eyes are bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness. If the light within you is darkness, how oppressive is that darkness! If your body is filled with light, and no part of it dark, you will be fully lit as when the light of a lamp shines upon you. See to it, then, that your [eyes are good]." -- Christopher Stefanick: [...]When Jesus reigns in our hearts and minds, we don't hand over that authority to any kind of human being. So if you're letting someone drive you crazy today, you need to spend more quiet time in prayer. Saint Paul wrote from prison, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Then the peace that surpasses understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Me: God is in control; God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. It is not so much about "inner peace" which is a phrase any pagan could use. It is real Peace, which Jesus Christ gave, as Jesus Christ explained: "I give you my Peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. [Trust God; also trust me.]" All you have to do is listen to Jesus Christ, and then Real Peace -- Jesus Christ's grace ("My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness.") -- will be present in your heart, not in and of itself, but as Jesus Christ explained, "Whoever loves me will obey my commands. Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. To whomever loves me, my Father and I will come and make our home within them. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me but belong to The Father." -- Christopher Stefanick: [...]Sometimes we just need to build up our friendship and earn the right to be heard.[...] Me: I laughed. So do I have to make friends with someone before I have earned the right to tell them that they're about to be hit by a car? Or if they are stupid enough to run in front of a moving vehicle, will they listen to me because I am their friend when I tell them to not run in front of a moving vehicle? No, sir. [And that is your clear answer.] "All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair on YOUR HEAD will perish: by standing firm, you will gain life." Did the "good Samaritan" make buddy-buddy friends with the man who lay there dying on the side of the road before he had the "privilege" or "right" in order to go and help him? All I see here is arrogance and excuses for arrogance, for people who do not belong to God. "You do not have the right to speak in church," they say to me. As if it were their house. As if it were their church. As if God did not dwell therein. As if this were not God's footstool. As if I did not exist "to know, love and serve God in this life and the next," as you said yourself, Professor Stefanick. But when I am silent, it is because I step back to watch from a distance the blind leading the blind into a pit, wherein they have no choice but to call out to God for help, or to curse God for his discipline, whichever God MAKES THEM DO FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES. All so that when you learn to take God seriously, that when he brings someone to inform you that disaster is coming on account of your unfaithfulness to God, you had better damn well take that person seriously. -- Enjoyment comes from the obedience to God. You cannot be truly happy before obeying God. In fact, this is the "joy" that Jesus Christ mentioned, that he is within our heart, mind, soul and will. All other perspectives are merely beating around the bush, so-to-speak, as Jesus Christ explained, "all who came before me were thieves and robbers [coming to steal, kill, and destroy] but my sheep did not listen to them. I am the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. [...]" -- God shows me how much of a failure I am in order to humble me. God's humbling is a last turn on the road to destruction before one arrives at their own demise. How can I say "do not reject discipline" to a person when all people are failures? When I was holy, I saw threatening arrogance, even though I tried to accept Jesus Christ as my Righteousness and my Salvation. What I am left with is the command "listen to Jesus Christ", not because I am incapable of speaking on my own, but because foolish notions that people can do it on their own without Jesus Christ are as if to say that a person can breathe without a respiratory system. When folly passes away and you are left with the results of your assertions, all foundations not built upon Jesus Christ, who is very much alive and well in Heaven, will be uprooted and vaporized in unquenchable fire. If you want to be safe from God's Wrath, listen to Jesus Christ's words as they were recorded throughout thousands of years of history. Yes, if you want a future, learn from the past, if you want to live, learn from life himself, and if you do not want to suffer forever more than you could ever suffer as a mortal, ask God and Jesus Christ to know you. I am a failure, you are a failure, we are all ruined. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am treacherous, you are treacherous, we are all untrustworthy. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am dust, you are dust, we are all temporary. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am a mockery, you are a mockery, we are all unworthy. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am corrupt, you are corrupt, we are all unfaithful. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am proud, you are proud, we are all arrogant. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am weak, you are weak, we are all incapable. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am foolish, you are foolish, we are all doomed. Jesus Christ is the solution. I am cruel, you are cruel, we are all ungodly. Jesus Christ is the solution. I will be left with nothing, you will be left with nothing, we are all unrepentant. Jesus Christ is the solution. I have no hope, you have hope, we all are wrong. God saves through his son, Jesus Christ. -- Relativism is evil. Evil insults God and is demonically vicious towards everyone who belongs to God. That is how it is when you tell a man of truth that their understanding is "good for you, I'm glad that works for you". That is pure folly driven like a dagger into Jesus Christ's stomach, and everyone on the side of truth feels that insult and the adulterous cruelty behind those words. -- "They told us to convert to Islam. But we refused. It is God who has mercy on us." -- an anonymous Iraqi Christian woman "Have faith in God" and "do not fear the rebuke of mortal men[...]". God saves. Fear God. -- Let us repent. -- Mark 3:24. "[...] If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [...]" -- "I will be with you," says The Almighty God. -- "Administer true justice in the courts: show mercy and compassion to each other." -- The Most Sovereign Lord God Almighty, Creator and Lord of Heaven and Earth -- "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. [...]" Mr. Robinson, remember what Jesus Christ did when he stood trial before Pontius Pilatus. He was silent. And he declared, "[...] Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. [...]" Today, he has declared that for you also, on your behalf. Your intercessor is Almighty. Even now, he watches over you and cares for you according to his pleasure, and no weeds can remove you from his hand. Remember what he commands: love even your enemies, as we must all pray for those who are persecuting you, that God would save them from their enslavement to evil, so that they might render true justice in the courts, that they might reject the wrong and choose the right. And The Most Revered Holy Spirit is Sovereign and is always working in secret for God's Glory through His Creation, as Jesus Christ explained he would do. Remember this in times of darkness and isolation: "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God." The name of the Lord is "God Saves" -- trust in Jesus Christ, God's Living Salvation, and rely upon your God's Faithfulness (again, that's Jesus Christ). Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, In God and Christ alone I trust. To all the world let freedom ring, Each man to God his spirit bring. All that I had is nothing now, For Christ my soul will sweat its brow, So that in him I might present To God his own in fullest vent. I am not worth a single thought, But for him, to him praise I brought, As if to beg his Majesty To think of me eternally. But nothing of myself is worth The time he's given from my birth, So here I am in fullest praise, To honor him for all my days. -- God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Every living soul must learn this. -- "To deny a man his rights before The Most High -- would not The Lord see such things?" "Should I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?" says The Sovereign Lord, whose name is Almighty One. "Who can speak and have it happen if The Lord has not first decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of The Lord that both good things and calamities come?" Let us turn our hearts back to the only true God and Jesus Christ his son, and let our enemies be put to shame on The Day of Judgment. -- Them 1: This is sadly undeniable proof Western society is under attack from within and from outsiders. Them 2: A neighbor who is well aware about the enemy at our doorsteps said something interesting and something that I have had in my mind for quite some time. I believe when push comes to shove, we will not know who the enemies are because muslims are allowed to use taqiyya (lying) to further islam. Them 1: Absolutely! I've yelled it from the rooftops and warned the best I could myself my friend these idiots think these people will be peaceful. Me: Islam is an apocalyptic, demonic war cry, not a religion. "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep] may have life to the fullest." "By their fruit you will recognize them." -- Jesus Christ -- Them: Something very sinister about that moving him to a muslim prison Me: It is not sinister, it is malice, an evil. Call what was done to Mr. Robinson for what it actually is: evil. "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." -- Jesus Christ, The One and Only Son of God, explaining from God -- Them: Keep fighting for your Land Tommy Robinson!!! Me: Turn your hearts to God and God will heal both you and your land. -- Jesus Christ has explained everything, and continues to explain through His Most Revered Holy Spirit. Mr. Robinson's suffering is nothing new. As God explained, "Well do I know your suffering." No one can remove Mr. Robinson from Safety. When God demands his life back from him, "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Return to me [with all your heart] and I will return to you.[...]" This man's name is written in Heaven, out of faith and righteousness. All people are flawed and... unworthy. But Jesus Christ has given his Peace to everyone who hears God's words through what he has said and done and believes God through him. Mr. Robinson is therefore guiltless; exonerated; free of blame; free from death; he has already crossed over from death to life, as has everyone who listens to Jesus Christ and does what is right because of him. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Them: From the UK. What has become of our fair land, when someone can be taken away in this manner and treated like this. Outrageous!! My brothers & Sisters, its time to rise up and make our feelings know to all! Tommy needs our support more than ever! Love & Peace always. Me: "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." Repent and pray for the evil people that God would make them repent and save them from Satan, that Jesus Christ, God's Salvation, Almighty, might do what he wants to do -- that God's will will be done. -- Matthew 23 perfectly describes the politicians. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/bewitched_by_false_doctrine.mp4 from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ol_SscYtFc It is not for any man to judge another man, but Jesus Christ said that he is given the authority to judge because he is "the son of man". My words are not important, my actions amount to nothing, my works are pointless, but life is not about what I do, but about what God does. I can rejoice and be happy because of what God and Jesus Christ have done. I can mourn and repent and beg God and Jesus Christ for forgiveness because of what God and Jesus Christ have done. I can do anything at all as long as I am not disobeying God's Commandments, because of what God and Jesus Christ has done [or have done, or whatever]. "Because I live, you also will live," and "You also must repent [of evil]." Jesus Christ already explained everything! That is why I say "listen to Jesus Christ"! Look after your neighbor: R2P means Responsibility to Protect. "I'm not doing enough for you," I told God. -- I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "Put no trust in a neighbor," because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "To him who alone does great wonders; his loving mercy endures forever." -- Faith in the one who is greater than all is itself greater than all, which is why Jesus Christ gave us faith in God and him as "[...][bedrock]. And on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it.[...]". It is not our faith in God, but God and Jesus Christ's Faithfulness and Trustworthiness and Selflessness, as he welcomes all his own to himself by himself (his Righteousness and obedience to God's Command, that he lay down his life and take it up again so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but have eternal life, eternal safety within him and among him, which no one can change -- "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Return to me with all your heart, and I will return to you."). -- "Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?" -- Nicodemus (John 7:51). If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of multiple witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness. (Numbers 35:30). You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness. (Exodus 23:1). He who answers a matter before he hears it--this is folly and disgrace to him. (Proverbs 18:13). Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the Law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck." (Acts 23:3). And I charged your judges at that time, "Hear the disputes between your people and judge fairly, whether the case is between two Israelites or between an Israelite and a foreigner residing among you. Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it." -- Moses (Deuteronomy 1:16-17). "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:37-38). And there are many more statements by God that show that Mr. Robinson has been subjected to repeated mistrials with the implicit goal of persecuting and harshly abusing him and intentionally jeopardizing his life and subjecting him to wicked torture, because the hands of those who convicted him were attached to evil minds and evil hearts. So God will turn the tables on his accusers and they will be put to death. Earnestly repent of your coldheartedness, because callousness is evil to which you have clung even though it has led you to fall victim to all other forms of evil in your hearts, minds, souls, and wills. You are all corrupt and stubbornly narcissistic. There is no hope for you besides Jesus Christ's mercy. Yes, unless you too repent, you will all perish. You are unfaithful and unworthy. -- Them: The ITV reporter [who has unjustly publicly accused the innocent of exhibiting racism] is an extreme racist She/he [who slanderously accused the innocent of being dangerous] is dangerous Me: Everyone is "dangerous" -- only God and Jesus Christ is Trustworthy, and he is Absolutely "Dangerous". "Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body, but afterwards can do nothing else. But I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both your body and your soul into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't many sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Heavenly Father. And how much more valuable you are than birds! So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many birds. Even every hair on your head is counted. If anyone acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge that person before my Heavenly Father and his holy angels. If anyone disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father and his angels. Do not think that I have come to bring peace [consensus] on Earth. I did not come to bring peace [consensus] but a sword [division]. [...]" -- Them: Being patriotic is now extreme...according to these communists. The left is winning the propaganda war. Me: Being a rational, good person is extreme because there are so many wicked weeds who bring evil out of their hearts, as Jesus Christ already explained. -- Them: I am getting bored with the same old regurgitated bullshit ...history is normally a slow process ....the Pakistani influx are here to play the long game ....they are not worried if thier end game takes another 50 years . unless you deported all of them tomorrow they will eventually without a shadow of a doubt become the majority. I told my son is am sorry for the country you have had to inherited and that one day you might have to fight for your life and your family....it really is a nightmare ....how did it come to this ..... Me: Ask and you will receive. -- Them: It's nice to know that some smart people in other countries realize what a good choice Trump is. Me: Trump is not the Messiah. The Messiah already came and left. Have we so quickly and easily forgotten who is in control? -- Them: Do you know what this doc reminds me of? It reminds me of that film called The Running Man (based on a Steven King book), where basically they take footage and edit it in anyway they please to make innocent people (people who are on our side) look like villain's. I laughed watching it, as it was just nonsense, mainly because (as Tommy points out) the information was already there. All ITV did, was slap the word Racist all over it, call it "under-cover" and they had a doc. Me: Kind of like automatically receiving a grant by using the two words "global" and "warming" in the correct sequence. Instant cash! -- Them: It's not about right or left it's just about common sense which the mainstream have none of Me: It's malice. Malice is evil. Stop pampering the evil of evildoers and start knowing what Jesus Christ said. "[...] Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? [...]" -- Them: In Tommy and Anne Marie we trust Me: At the expense of your soul? You are unfaithful to God, and this is the punishment God gives to unfaithful people: giving the unfaithful people exactly what they asked for, his lack of involvement. All you had to do was know what Jesus Christ said. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/david_icke_what_others_dare_not_say.mp4 Them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VpgoyhUrMc Me: 45:55 -- If I judged you by that principle, David Icke, then I would not finish watching this video, because you are ignorant of Jesus Christ, who is The Truth. Think I'm wrong? Why don't you come see what Jesus Christ has to say -- what, you're not interested? Then you are judged by your own words, and found wanting, and found a hypocrite. If you want to know the truth, listen to Jesus Christ. He's not an idea, his words are absolute truth. Your own foundation is on sand, and you will not take me down with you, no matter what other logic you use to credit yourself and mock others with baby-faced mockery speech as you did in these videos. Obviously, nobody cares what I say, but I find it fascinating that Jesus Christ and God warned of all the events and matters pointed out by David Icke in this video: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/david_icke_social_engineering_agenda_21_and_transhumanism_the_secret_manipulation_of_humanity.mp4 It's too bad David Icke does not know God and Jesus Christ; I think he would find this fact very interesting also, to have God warn us all thousands of years ago about the matters he describes as if they were newfound revelations or novel conspiracies. By David Icke's description, one might identify the contemporary Israel as "'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong". David Icke who does not know God and Jesus Christ describes contemporary events as if they were newfound revelations or novel conspiracies the matters God and Jesus Christ thousands of years ago warned us all would come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-UzB23FV4c David Icke trying to explain reality without knowledge from God. Sad. And when he can't do it anymore, he turns to humor and crowd-pleasers. Sad. False prophets abound, and because I speak the truth, nobody believes me or cares to listen to me. Why? "[...] Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! [...]" And Jesus Christ fully explained. But do you even care? Sad. David Icke is a false prophet. If only he belonged to God and Jesus Christ, he could say something truly correct, rather than spreading his spiritual propaganda through controversial subjects. "Do not point the finger." -- God Me: I sent the video link without comment, for your review. Further listening to this person's speaking reveals an improper agenda. As a person who holds to knowledge of Jesus Christ's words, God reveals to me clearly and with jealousy these two points: stop following blind people and start learning from God. False prophets speak on their own to gain honor for themselves, as Jesus Christ explained thousands of years ago, and the matters of controversy and anxiety -- all the problems -- are not solved by casting blame, as God said "do not point the finger" (do not cast blame), nor by any other tactics that the "vultures" use to attack the "dead bodies". "Where there is a dead body [a person without knowledge from Jesus Christ], there the vultures [evil abusers] will gather." It was foretold, and I marvel at the wonder of God's actions. For even as the false prophets point in every direction to cast blame while exercising hypocrisy, God is using their deceitfulness to reveal his jealousy and trustworthiness to his sheep. I leave the matter with this statement: Some of you are current or former schoolteachers, some of you are creative artists, some of you are government workers... but regardless of what occupations you have or do not have, our common thread is the desire to serve and improve other people's lives, and for this reason alone you are to be esteemed: not on account of your actions or words, but by the fact that Jesus Christ welcomed you all when he explained that "the greatest among you will be [as] your servant". But in and of himself, Righteousness (Faithfulness to God who alone is good), accepted all mankind to himself as part of God's glory, and not on account of what we could do, but based upon what he already did: he gave himself fully so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. All these matters are as he explained, but the sad fact is that many who claim to know him are not even able to recite his words of life which lead to Life, lead to himself. God is very jealous; "I am burning with jealousy for Zion [everyone who belongs to him]." And with Jealousy no man nor army will ever be able to compete. Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy [desire for what rightfully belongs to him]. That is what we are seeing in the world today, and the identified problems and struggles are mere symptoms as God shows the guilt of the world through His Most Revered Holy Spirit, as he explained he would do, as written in John 16:8-11. So it is not ignorance that insulates us and allows us to be free from sadness, but the presence of The Most Revered Holy Spirit of Truth... through whom all good things are given to us by God, and into whom all of God's Mercy flows into Existence. Therefore, The Most Revered Holy Spirit is correctly without reproach and justly given honor, not for the fact that he helps us, but for the fact that Jesus Christ has caused his help for us to be valid. So we as a human race -- whether or not we are aware of this fact -- are and continue to be brought to God by Jesus Christ (as he said he would do: "But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself."), and given more mercy than we could ever desire or desire to prove to others. Therefore, no matter if you teach music or write software or serve socially or do nothing at all for whatever reason you perceive, God will bless you faithfully, and part of that blessing is calling your attention back to himself so that you might know him and he might know you in your heart, mind, soul and will. All because he loves us as our Creator and Teacher and Lord. "Return to me -- bring your entire heart to me; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all!" Then the matters about which you think will no longer be about what you should do, but upon what Jesus Christ and God has already done and continues to do for you at all times. And therein one recognizes Peace and legitimate contentment -- by the knowledge that Jesus Christ validated you and keeps you safe in himself. "I give you my Peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me. [...]]" Therefore, to have in mind God's interests is not to undermine the self, but to understand that God loves you through Jesus Christ, as he explained and demonstrated. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/if_only.mp3 -- I had God and Jesus Christ growing up, and I'm still growing. -- "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. (Mark 5:39-40). Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. [...] "Only in his own hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." (Mark 6:1-4). Jesus Christ knows all about all, according to what his Father shows him. "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor The Son, but only The Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the [return] of the Son of Man." He knew exactly why God wanted him to be there and say and do what he did, and he walked right into the mockery and prompted it by speaking the Truth so he could "suffer much and be rejected by this generation". And even today, God and Jesus Christ is still mocked, showing the guilt of nations (revealed by The Most Revered Holy Spirit "in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgement" in part because men do not believe Jesus Christ), and the continuing evil of this "adulterous and unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." If only you knew. What Jesus said. If only you understood. What God did. If only you perceived. Who God is. If only you turned.

You'd know love. -- Everything I do: fail. Everything I say: ignored. Even a dog comes running when there is a treat. But these people have no hunger for my words. There is no desire for truth in their hearts. But I am inundated with wisdom as a fish needs to be immersed in healthy water, and I do not know what to do with all this understanding. As I reflect upon these things to Jesus Christ, "This is only the beginning," I hear a voice tell me. In my pain and sorrow, I have pushed God away, even as I know that I need him. And I have neglected and in pain not accepted thinking about and understanding -- and perceiving more and more and more... about what was offered to me, according to as he said: knowledge of the future, absolute power, and all those matters men irresponsibly chase after. If only they listened to Jesus Christ. Evil delights in falsifying knowledge of the truth. But Jesus Christ said, "No one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day." -- I finally see that the reason people do not listen to me is because they are not of eternal life. -- I have said that I am not the kind of person who gets to have relationships. I have communicated with people, but my words regard my relationship with Jesus Christ and God. I speak of God and Jesus Christ because that is the only relationship I have. A relationship with family members implies familiarity, but who is my familiar and with whom am I most familiar? I do not need to see a person in order to have a relationship with them; but to hear and see God and to think about his words and actions is how my relationship with him grows. God teaches me because he wants me to be like him; and that requires Life, because you can only learn if you are alive. "Apart from me, you can do nothing." So the dead chase wayward ideas, but God is the leader in all his relationships. If God follows you, it is to teach you to turn around and follow him. But a person must belong to Jesus Christ, not simply follow Jesus Christ: "Have I not chosen you, The Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" "[...] I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture that says 'one who has shared my bread has lifted up his heel against me'." "But nobody cares," says Satan. "And how unflattering of an opinion that is of God's creation." But is it just to imprison a person and ruin a person's life based upon the account of a liar who accuses them? God does not listen to Satan, but God does teach by God's own words and actions that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. So what kind of relationship do I need? I need a good relationship with the only one who is good. I hate myself because I hate my stubbornness, but I know that God and Jesus Christ is faithful, so I know that my stubbornness cannot remove me from God's Hand. Even when I am lost and confused, I know that I am right there at the right place at the right time because Jesus Christ and God is with me anyway. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, as The Father knows me and I know My Father. My sheep listen [exclusively] to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "[... and] I assure you that I am always with you, even until the very end of The Age." So Immanuel is my lover. Jealousy is my Savior. Mercy is Faithfulness and Righteousness. And the ways of men all perish. So I must have God's interests in my heart, mind, soul and will -- and to obey God is to love God, as Jesus Christ explained. The Father is in The Son of Man, and The Son of Man is in The Father, just as Jesus Christ is in me and I am in Jesus Christ. From a very young age, I was reborn into this relationship so that I may live and learn in Jesus Christ. For God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." Jesus Christ gave himself in me -- in weakness -- and he protects me so that it is shown that despite adversity, The Lord does not change from his Faithfulness and Trustworthiness. In this way, I am a symbol of God's Love -- I am a symbol of Jesus Christ. A symbol is not greater than the symbolized. An idol is not greater than the idolized; Jesus Christ showed us not to idolize because God cannot be idolized, which is why God sent his only son Jesus Christ. The Father is in The Son and The Son is in The Father. "If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way on account of my name, because they do not know [(or) have not known] [me nor] the one who sent me." I cannot know Jesus Christ unless The Father enables me to know him. Is it any of your concern at what time and date The Father enables me to know Jesus Christ? "It is not for you to know the times and dates that The Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when The [Most Revered] Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of The Earth." "I am The Lord your God. There is no other savior." God Saves by his Presence. "[...] But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then [it is] The Kingdom of Heaven [who] has come upon you. [...]" Why do I refer to "The Kingdom of Heaven" as a who, as a living entity, as a living being? Because Jesus Christ described it as such. Jesus Christ is The King and in him is his Kingdom, as he described to Peter. And as he described to Peter subsequently, so I must have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests. Am I to make excuses for my own goals, telling the one who holds in his hand my life and all my ways that my own agenda is good for him? So then what I am to do with "my time" and "my life"? "What am I supposed to do?" people ask. "What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked Jesus Christ. "The work of God is to believe the one he sent," Jesus Christ replied. So listen to Jesus Christ. And is it a burden? Is knowledge or a healthy relationship a burden? Is it not the lack of well-being that appears burdensome and reveals one's own weakness? Many burdens, many pains, much suffering, for what reason? Why would God do such things? "It is because my people have been unfaithful to me." Unfaithfulness results in suffering, therefore, Jesus Christ, who is Faithfulness as Righteousness, is the only solution. The solution to what? Jesus Christ is the only solution to everything, including many burdens, many pains, and much suffering. You feel pain so that you will change, so that you will alter your behavior or alter the situation so that the pain stops. Pain is not the problem, it is a consequence of a state of being. Change the state of being if you want the pain to stop. Listen to Jesus Christ if you want to live. Don't be a coward. Listen to Jesus Christ. "See, I have told you everything ahead of time." If you had listened to Jesus Christ, you would not have been deceived by those who claim to be Jesus Christ. Anyone who claims to be Jesus Christ is a liar. The Most Revered Holy Spirit reveals Jesus Christ where he is in Heaven, at the right hand of his Father. There is none other. God holds Existence in himself by Jesus Christ; "The Father is in me and I am in The Father". Learn to read so that you can know God. If only people would hold to his words... What is the easiest way for you to keep God's words? It is to have them written down as a reminder for yourself and for anyone else who is enabled by God to listen to, and understand, what Jesus Christ and God says and does. On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." -- God comforts in Jesus Christ. By saying, "hear here!" God is saying, "there there". -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/saving_grace.mp3 "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise." When your people rejoice, your enemies abuse them. When your children and infants love you, their parents and associates persist in blindness. You show your own blessings; you hide them from your enemies. If a hand, no matter, because your hand; if cruelty, no matter, because your power; your Majesty. Your Control, Your Deity, Your Sovereignty, Your Omnipotence, Your Kindness. Your Justice, God, of all Heaven, Earth, and Hell, there is no one who can compare with you. Your Son Jesus Christ is worth your time and consideration, but I am not. All splendor return to him without resting on another. With him no one can compare. You alone choose and invent fate. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. Not me. Why shouldn't I perish? I am merely a visage of weakness; dust I am and to dust I will return, yes? If a person believes in you, you give them eternal life. Surely your ways are higher than my ways. Surely my plans amount to nothing and yours prevail. Am I not useless? All praise to you, Jesus Christ in Heaven, and Heavenly Father, who is within you. How long will the blind persist? They don't and won't listen to me, so you said to move on, to leave them. Did I do that now? And so true praise is only seen by you. And my words are a curse because they come from me, a fool. I am left with silence and without purpose. How demoralized should I be in order to please you? How much do I need to hate myself? Do you delight to crush me underfoot? If you do, why should I complain? You said that you do not delight in the death of anyone, and that you desire mercy, not sacrifice. So you delight in your Son, but I do not see you delight in me, and even if you did, it would not be credited to me but to Jesus Christ. In the end, you remain, so who cares what I say or do? I can't change you, nor should you change, by your own self you have blessed your Creation. There. Take all my self-deprecation and any correct statements I make and do what you want with them; but with me, I am one suffering after another without respite. But who really cares? And why do I bother considering communicating with others anymore, when instead of my pains and effort, with a simple word, you could make whoever you want believe you. But it is because my life is entirely meaningless already, and do you seek honor through my "potential", as if anything I could do could possibly compare to your interests? No, I am but a visage of weakness and a shadow of worthlessness. For when you pass by, I am crushed as a shadow is cast down by light. So then why do I bother thinking that I could do anything for you? And these words -- will they not burn with everything else you don't want? So what's the point of coming up with any ideas on my own? Why do I bother having an imagination or means to think independently? Do you enjoy weakness so much that there is no purpose to life than for you to crush it? This is what my unworthiness comes to: I do not think fondly about being a son to you. And this is why I am not worth your time or consideration. That I would insult you in any way is testimony to my failure. I guess the whole moral of this story includes demonstrating in me that all wisdom and understanding is exclusively within your control. I cannot teach, you cannot fail. I cannot work, you cannot be denied forever. I am a mere pawn, and you are merely everything. There is no one who would listen to me and understand, and there cannot be such a person until you make them such. So why do I bother? God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. God is in control. If I say, "you", and another person says, "you", am I not unfavored? Doesn't Abel please you more than Cain? Are your goals for me going to gain you praise? My words destroy myself, your words destroy myself, and am I to say that you can expect good, wholesome, uplifting, magnifying statements presented to you in Spirit and in Truth? In everything, I am nothing, and in nothing, I find peace. To you be all glory, honor, praise, and everything else you want. But let me be destroyed. For my words are nothing and my actions reflect my pointlessness. Should I read what I wrote, or read what you wrote? "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." I welcome that condemnation in my weakness; but your power is none of my business. If you want me to suffer, fine. If you do not want me to suffer, fine. What's the point of desire, just to be disappointed as you crush it underfoot to humble the whole lot of them? But nobody learns from me -- and they can't anyway -- so why do I communicate anything at all? After all, it is not for me, but for them and for you; as if my speaking were desirable. Desirable to you is not desirable to your enemies. But you crush even your friends; or am I special? Then crush me. As if my desires mattered; as if I were worth your time, you exercise patience. But is it simply patience to wait for me to finish rambling? Would you listen to a fool and serve the desires of a biased person? A person who questions your decisions and applies his own thoughts to your glory? -- Do you want change? What a different world it would be if people acted for reason instead of for profit, and if people exercised compassion, justice, and righteousness, instead of exercised unfaithfulness. Because then men would be like God, who does not change, and who said, "I do nothing without reason," and "[...] that I am The Lord, who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." -- God is not like a computer. With God, there is no storage or memory limitation (except as Jesus Christ mentioned). There is no information access time. There is no data corruption. What is intended is what is conveyed; there is no information loss. There is no energy waste. And God does not wear out like a corporeal entity wears out; there is no hardware failure. There is no wasted time. There is no wasted effort. Design comes from his omnipotence, not from temporary ideas or biased agendas. There is no administrator goading progress, but only Jesus Christ guiding you at all times. There is no data breach or security flaw or threat, but "I give you my peace. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. In this world, you will have trouble, but have courage, because I have overcome the world." "With man, this is impossible, but not with God -- with God all things are possible." "Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." God is Spirit. "[...] Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." -- How can I say that I am not worthy to serve God? It is because it is difficult to do what Jesus Christ said to do. But "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent", and Jesus Christ overcame the world and interceded so that whoever believes in him will not perish but live forever. "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." So I have already completed the work that God requires of me, and he teaches me. So I do not have a problem. I already have The Solution, and he has already overcome the world and has given me his peace not as the world gives. -- The guilt of non-believers is so vile. When a non-believer pretends to be honest by pretending to concede that a true statement about reality could be possible, they do not even believe their own concession. For example, regarding God creating the vast array in seven days, a non-believer would say something like, "I do not believe that god created the universe in six days..." and then if a believer debates that, the fool non-believer will end up saying something like, "but of course by definition it would be possible for god to make everything and begin time within six days...", thus exposing their vile and most hideous guilt, as if their enslavement to their own ego and imagination were a badge of honor instead of the most disgusting state of being like a decayed corpse. And the non-believers love to pretend to be honest by making statements they themselves do not believe, such as "god does not exist... but nobody can know whether or not god exists... and anything is possible". How foolish they are, like an untrained jester trying to hypnotize a crowd with woven lies. They are unclean. "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim to see, your guilt remains." "Because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! [...] Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." "The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight." Can you teach morality? You certainly can. Should you teach morality? You certainly should. Because if you teach a person to share, they will share evil, and if you teach a person to take turns, they will take turns raping. But if you teach a person to live a godly life, they will be blessed. If you give a person the goodness of Jesus Christ's words, they will have peace. "[...] because God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But the one practicing the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be manifest as having been done in God." (John 3:17-21). "God alone is good." (from Mark 10:18). If it were not for The Sun, you would not know light. "No one can come to The Father except through me." Magic and spiritism is falsehood; you cannot know God except through Jesus Christ. -- Intelligence is knowledge of God's reason and understanding of who God is. Intelligence is eternal life; and it is only given by Jesus Christ. But people misuse the word "intelligence" in order to boost their judgmental, condescending arrogance because they are enslaved to their sinful ego. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- Stern; unrelentingly serious; how do you praise God? "Praise God or die." Is death an ultimatum? God's love is so great that death is no longer an ultimatum to a person who is in the Kingdom of God. A man of truth takes himself seriously. A man of truth takes God seriously. A man of truth praises God with the mindset of a titan; in weakness, seriousness honors Jesus Christ. Praise The Lamb. No exceptions. No excuses. No limits. No nonsense. All praise to Jesus, Savior King. Praise God or go home. Worship God in Jesus Christ or get out. Think about God and Jesus Christ, or don't think at all. The rest is just wasted effort. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." It's time to be serious. It's time to be legitimate. It's time to be ultimate. Praise The Lamb. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Believe in Jesus Christ. Believe Jesus Christ. Believe God in Jesus Christ. Believe Jesus Christ, The Father in The Son and The Son in The Father. Get serious, or get out. Worship Jesus Christ in God, and worship God in Jesus Christ. Everything else is nonsense. Resistance is futile. Jesus Christ will get all praise anyway. All worship Jesus, Savior King. Praise The Lamb. Worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Listen to Jesus Christ. "Not by force or by might, but by My Spirit." Serve The Lamb. There is no other way. There is no other option. It's Jesus Christ only. Rebel and suffer forevermore. Listen and gain eternal life in Jesus Christ. "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." -- Is God on your side? Are you on God's side? -- "Not what I will, but what you will." Human will is flawed and weak; temptation exploits human will. "Not what I will, but what you will." Righteousness -- Jesus Christ -- is the solution to that problem. In fact, I can prove why God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, but I cannot make you trust God and Jesus Christ. Nor can I make you know him. Everything is in God's control. "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of The Lord and rely upon his God." Yes, you and I each have personal flaws and each of us is weak. "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore, you [...] are not destroyed." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, WHO IS GREATER THAN ALL, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Remain in me and I will remain in you. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you will bear much fruit, and this is for my Father's glory, that you are shown to be my disciples." Don't test each other in knowledge -- no standardized tests -- but always have the goal of improvement. When you are always working for Justice, you rely upon God as the administrator of tests. But if you judge each other based upon knowledge, rather than based upon who the person is -- a good tree or a bad tree; belonging to Jesus Christ or not yet belonging to Jesus Christ -- then you do not have in mind God's interests. "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you. [...]" And there are many other cures to problems as Jesus Christ taught, but do you have any knowledge of his words? "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." -- The Holy Spirit The Most Revered Holy Spirit Jesus Christ is not out to get you. He is not out to trap you in your words or prove you wrong, or to prove you guilty. Jesus Christ's work is to purify you and clean you in himself with his words -- "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean; but not all of you are clean -- this is to fulfill what is written, 'The one who has shared my bread has lifted up his heel against me.' The Son of man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to the one who betrays The Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born." He was referring to Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed him. "He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment. In regard to sin, because men do not believe me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to The Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgement, because The Prince of This World now stands condemned. [...]" So it is through purification that guilt is exposed, but God's goal is to clean you, not to condemn you. "I am sending you The Counselor, The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot know him, but you know him, because he is among you and will be in you. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak only what he hears. He will take from what is mine and make it known to you. Everything that belongs to The Father is mine; that is why I said that The Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. I will not remain in this world much longer, [but I am going to the one who sent me], because The Prince of This World is coming. He has no hold on me, but the world must learn that I love my Father and that I do everything The Father has commanded me. Come now, let us leave." Jesus Christ led Justice to Victory. "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until he has led justice to victory. In his name, the nations will put their hope." "But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." "My Kingdom is not of this world." Everything Jesus Christ said and did is proven consistent -- and consistent as God's agenda -- in duplicate or triplicate or (much) more. There is no flaw of God; God is flawless. God's words are flawless. Do not mistake the precious food for the nature of the one consuming it. But when you see the food is delicious and perfect, consume it with abandon. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought that pearl." "The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man dug it up and found it, he buried it again and went away and sold everything he had and bought that field." The Most Revered Holy Spirit is Trustworthy. "He will not speak on his own..." "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." "...but he will speak only what he hears." Jesus Christ explained that His Most Revered Holy Spirit is his own; "But when you are brought to trial, do not worry about what to say. It will not be you speaking, but The Spirit of Your Heavenly Father speaking through you." And in silence, Jesus Christ said a lot to Pontius Pilatus. And Pontius Pilatus believed Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ did not speak on his own! If you want to prove me guilty, testify to The Truth. But your goal should not be to prove someone guilty. "You judge by human standards. I cast judgement on no one. But if I do judge, my judgements are correct, because I do not seek to please myself, but to please the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day. The Son of Man did not come down from Heaven to condemn the world, but to save it through himself. I did not come to condemn the world; there is a judge for the one who rejects my words -- that very word which I spoke will condemn him on The Last Day. I did not speak on my own, but I spoke just what The Father told me to say, as he told me to say it. I know that his word leads to eternal life; therefore, everything I tell you is exactly as The Father has commanded me." That clearly shows you what your goal should be: true Justice. "Administer true justice in the courts: show mercy and compassion to each other." Stop with the "gotchas" and accusations. Rejoice in the success of others; love your neighbor as if they were you. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." That means stop desiring temporary pleasures -- you will is flawed and prone to manipulation by temptation, which evil exercises to destroy you by yourself; and others, as a cancer of example. Listen to Jesus Christ and entrust yourself to him only. Why entrust yourself to yourself, a flawed and weak being? Why entrust your fate to human leaders, other flawed and weak beings? "No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Jesus Christ and God has welcomed you, not for who you are, but because of who Jesus Christ is. Ask Jesus Christ to be your Righteousness. He will teach you and clean you with his words if you listen to him. Understand. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "[...]And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. [...]" Bring your entire heart to God who is within Jesus Christ. "No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would also therefore know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...]Don't you recognize me after all this time? How can you say, 'Show us The Father'? [...]The Father is in me, and I am in The Father.[...]" "The words I speak to you are not my own; they belong to the one who sent me." Therefore, the Holy Spirit is trustworthy. It is because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy that The Most Revered Holy Spirit is also Trustworthy. "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I am doing what my Father does, and you still do not believe me, then believe in the miracles that testify about me so that you may know that The Father is in me and I am in The Father." The miracles Jesus Christ did were so that God would reveal through Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness (Jesus Christ and his words and actions of purity from God, himself) that Jesus Christ is God's Son. It was not a declaration as the evil spirits wanted -- to deny a man blessing, to deny a man the greatness of being taught by God -- but "For judgement I have come into the world, so that the blind would see and those who see would become blind. [...] If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim to see, your guilt remains." The evil spirits wanted to point out Jesus Christ as "the holy one of God" because God said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen [steadfastly] gathers her chicks under her wing, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate; you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of The Lord.'" Jesus Christ is The Teacher, and demons want to hijack that by "teaching". Evil people do such things: they manufacture flaws as a basis for accusing and mocking (who in their right mind insults God's Creation?) and their agenda is, as Jesus Christ explained, "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep] may have life to the fullest." "No one can remove [my sheep] from my hand." You are secure in Jesus Christ. "Now The Prince of This World will be driven out. But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." Jesus Christ led Justice (Improvement) to Victory (Glorification of God). Justice has already been led to Victory. Therefore, "administer true Justice in the courts; show mercy and compassion to each other." It is not my responsibility to combat evil by making you listen to Jesus Christ. If you belonged to God, you would listen to Jesus Christ. If you valued God's words, you would desire to know Jesus Christ's words and value them in memory. But God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy regardless of whatever value you place or deny to honor or dishonor his words. You don't make truth. "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" But instead, "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." And "Do not put The Lord your God to the test." And "Worship The Lord your God and serve him only." But how can a person serve God if they don't even know what God said? Or why would you serve God without first knowing God? And how could you actually know God without knowing what God says and does? Jesus Christ already said and alluded to and resolved all these matters. Are you willing to listen to Jesus Christ and learn from God? It is not my fate, but yours which hangs in the balance, not between good and evil, but between your eternal life and your eternal death. If you are afraid of mortal death, isn't that a sign you should (instead) "fear the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both your body and your soul in Hell"? Which being has such power and authority over Heaven and Earth and "holds in his hand your life and your ways"? "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Jesus Christ does not trust anyone besides The Father. "Take my yoke upon yourself and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." "Consider carefully what you hear," he continued. "With the measure you use, it will be measured to you -- and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." Jesus Christ is the only true investment; all other ground is sinking sand. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says." (John 8:47). If anyone does not want to listen to Jesus Christ, they are claiming that they are better than God. "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19). "He humbled you, and in your hunger gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of The Lord." (Deuteronomy 8:3). Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4). "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." (Matthew 12:30). "I have not spoken on my own, but The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his [word/command] leads to eternal life; therefore, everything I say is exactly as The Father commanded me." (John 12:49-50). ...for they loved human praise more than praise from God. (John 12:43). -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/the_transforming_effect_of_loving_christ.mp4 from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsN153FaL4o "Do you love me?" -- Jesus Christ (John 21:17). -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36qhTfCWdiw "I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." The Pope should have known this, among many other things Jesus Christ explained. This is not cool. But God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and God alone is good... again, as Jesus Christ already explained thousands of years ago. As I said to a relative when Donald Trump was elected US President, have we so easily forgotten who is in control? "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations; my Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end." "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and neglected my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you. Bring [your entire heart to me]; test me in this, and see if I will not open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not know what to do with it all. [...] Then all the nations will call you blessed, because yours will be a delightful land. [...]" "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Them: I am a Greek atheist but seeing the Pope supporting Islam more than Christianity (best and most tolerant religion) is outrageous... Me: Russian person whose name I can't pronounce here... it would be wisest to listen to Jesus Christ. I affirm by my own understanding (limited as it is) that everything Jesus Christ said as written in the Zondervan New International Version (English) Holy Bible is Absolute Truth. Jesus Christ's words are beyond insightful and greater than all human wisdom. "My Kingdom is not of this world." You must listen to Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, if you want to know the truth, and the truth will set you free from enslavement to sin, as Jesus Christ explained. I always have to prefix and suffix my sentences with "as Jesus Christ explained" because he is The Teacher and said everything in the best possible way -- exactly as The Father commanded of him. There is none other. -- Them: ...but isn't it un-American and wrong to discriminate against people based upon their religion? Others: *applause* Donald Trump's spoken answer: But Jimmy, the problem... [to audience] I mean look, I'm all for it...

I mean, these people, they did not come from Sweden, okay? Look at what happened in Paris, look at what happened last week in California, with... with, you know, fourteen people dead, other people going to die, they're so badly injured; we have a real problem. There's a tremendous hatred out there, and what I wanna do is find out what it-- you know, you can't solve a problem until you find out what's the root cause. And I want to find out: what is the problem, what's going on. And it's temporary. I've had so many people call me and say "thank you". Now if you remember, when I did that a week ago, it was like bedlam. [?] All of a sudden, and you watch last night, and you see people talking, they say, "Well, Trump has a point; we have to get down to the problem." The people that are friends of mine that called, they said, "Donald, you've done us a tremendous service, because we do have a problem and we have to find out what is the-- [interrupted by interviewer].

Slavik: "I'm just supporting the group." Reporter: "But you told me that you didn't drink vodka because you see the harm it did to your family. Do you see a pattern here, of running away, arguing, moving out, getting drunk, does that remind you of anything?" Slavik: "It reminds me of my house... I don't know. On one hand, I want to go home. On the other, I don't. It reminds me of a lot of things. They say a child takes after its mother. I'm my mother's son. I can't change myself." Arty: "You can change yourself. You just need to want to change. You can change anything in your life, if you want to. But if you don't want to change, you'll end up nowhere." Slavik: "You need help to change your life. I've never seen anyone who was able to change without support. It's impossible." And it's these kids who are sniffing glue and living in sewers and hiding out in the basements of public buildings in Ukraine. Doesn't God love these children also? "Who will speak to these on my behalf, to share with them life through me?" says The Sovereign Lord, whose name is Majesty Almighty. "Who shall I send?" Is it nothing to you? -- Mr. Peterson, thank you for your time and consideration, and thank you for your work, primarily thank God for his work through you. All praise to Jesus Christ in Heaven and to our Heavenly Father within him. The entire duty of a Christian is to point to Jesus Christ. You have spoken of anger, and Jesus Christ has spoken of anger and its solution. So I say the cure to anger is faith in Jesus Christ, and in this faith a person learns true love. And he said, "do not worry about your life, [...]" because worry accomplishes nothing, as he best explained. You asked if it is possible for a person to know if they or another person is saved. The answer is yes, and Jesus Christ fully explained it many times and in many ways. Salvation means safety; safety is only in Jesus Christ's hand. If he knows you, and you know him, as he said, "Remain in me and I will remain in you. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you will bear much fruit [that lasts]. [...] Apart from me, you can do nothing." then you are absolutely safe and have The Absolute Truth within you. I have written some of what I learned from God and Jesus Christ on my plain text website, uni.galaxyverge.com. I left you a message towards the end of it [which is this being read] and I apologize if I'm caustic or not gentle in what I wrote or said. [I'm trying to be more gentle like Jesus Christ said he is.] There is much that I could say, but I would like to simply read one brief passage of The Gospel for your comment. [Matthew 22:1-14.] 888-77-JESSE 9am to noon EST Mr. Peterson, thank you for your time. There are many things I could say during the time I am allotted. I have written a little bit of what I have learned from God and Jesus Christ on my web site, which is a plain text file. I'd like to provide you with that web site link and maybe share it with your listeners if it's OK for me to say the web site address over the air... [uni.galaxyverge.com. The thesis is the first sentence on the web page.] Before I say anything further, in all fairness to warning, as a disclaimer, I am not like other people, and you might get the gist of that based upon what I say to you now. I hope that any unpleasantries I have, such as my voice or grammar or speech pattern, does not distract you from anything God wants to say through me to you and listeners. I also apologize in advance if anything I say is intolerable, but as each of us should well know by now, God's pleasure is often not man's pleasure. I have a written statement to say to you, if that's OK. I viewed your BOND church video-stream session this past Sunday. I am not a sophisticated person, nor do I have clout, and yet I know that the only legitimate praise that a man can receive comes from the only true God who is Jesus Christ's God and Heavenly Father, and also my God and my Father, as Jesus Christ explained. I am a newcomer to your attention and have a lot to say, but I know God can handle it for you, if you are willing to trust him enough to hear what I have to say. Mr. Peterson, I have a statement to make to everyone listening, not simply directed towards you; what I say is a matter on my heart, and yet I am no stranger to rejection. But I make it towards you because I invite you to privately and publicly criticize anything I say with which you disagree, after I say it, but God explains much to his own sheep and all wisdom and reason he states succinctly but is all with the intention of giving people eternal life through himself as he explained and did and continues to do. But as a person who has learned so much from God and Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, I need to ask you deliberately up-front, are you willing to hear my entire statement and then afterwards criticize or add to what I say? And you know that God gives The Spirit freely and without limit. After all, as God said through His Most Revered Holy Spirit through John the Baptist, "a man can only receive that which has been given to him from above". I will be interspersing quotes from Jesus Christ and God with my words, but anyone who belongs to God recognizes God's voice, so that is not a problem. "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." "Whoever has my commands and obeys them is the one who loves me. Within the heart of whomever loves me, my Father and I will come and make our home. Whoever loves me will obey my commands. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me, but from The Father." First, all praise to you, Jesus Christ in Heaven, and to our Heavenly Father who is within you. Listen to Jesus Christ. Regarding these terms you have used: affirmative action: prayer. "Who can speak and have it happen if The Lord has not first decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Lord Almighty that both good things and calamities come? From him who holds in his hand your life -- your very breath -- and all your ways, and from him who alone does great wonders? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" "I will give you whatever you ask in my Name so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it." wisdom: listen to Jesus Christ alpha male: "There will be one flock, and one shepherd." "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. With the first and the last of them, I am he." "Many who are first will be last, and the last first." "I tell you that this [sinner], rather than the other [proud man] went home justified before God. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." God is the Alpha Male. Jesus Christ is the Beta Male. There is none other. Abandon such terms of ignorant blind pride and arrogance. Jesus Christ already gave us the cure to arrogance: The cure to arrogance is to accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness. The cure to arrogance is to accept Jesus Christ as your Salvation. amazing: John 5:28: "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out -- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me." "the great white hope": I think this is a term you are using to represent US President Donald Trump. I do not think you are using the term sardonically. But I remind you what was written about Jesus Christ, "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until he has led Justice to Victory. In his Name the nations will put their hope." "the man" where you say "rebuilding the man": Jesus Christ is The Man, as in, The Son of Man. And you say that "it is OK to be a man" and that is correct because of Jesus Christ. Most people are interested in human dialogue rather than dialogue with God. "But God knows your hearts. I know you do not have the love of God in your hearts." But life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything, as Jesus Christ explained. "The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost; not to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." Arrogance loves to make you feel good about yourself. But that is a red flag to anyone who exalts God as number one. Let every man bring his heart to God as an offering. "A scroll of remembrance was written on behalf of those who feared The Lord and revered his Name. 'They will be mine when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, as in compassion a man spares the son who serves him. And again you will see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.'" "The work that God requires of each person is to believe in the one God sent; the work of God is to believe in the one he sent." And until a person accepts God as number one, that person cannot understand what I say. Because I belong to God and anyone who does not acknowledge God as number one does not belong to God. "Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." Do not call the devil my father, because I am not a liar nor a murderer. Jesus Christ said, "I know my Father, who you claim as your God. If I claimed I did not, then I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is The Judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." "God alone is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." Jesus Christ is my Righteousness and my Salvation, and that is not a human covenant, but a permanent contract I personally have with Jesus Christ and my Father who is within Jesus Christ. Even before I was born, the devil was not my father. "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad. Each tree is recognized by its fruit." Jesus Christ is the true vine, but by saying that the devil is my father, you already pass judgement on me even though you then hypocritically say "do not cast judgement on someone". Do you see the problem with what's going on here? Everyone needs to learn at some point in their lives that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy: The Father in The Son and The Son in The Father. "They will all be taught by God." "Everyone will be salted with fire." How should a student instruct another student better than The Teacher? The reason I quote Jesus Christ is because I am not worthy to serve Jesus Christ. "And there will be one flock, and one shepherd." "Do not call anyone on Earth 'father', because you only have one Father, and he is in Heaven; do not call anyone on Earth 'rabbi' or 'teacher', because you have one Teacher, The Christ; and you are all brothers. The greatest among you will be as your slave; the best like the one who serves. Who is greater, the one who is sitting at the table or the one who is serving? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves." "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough that the servant is like his master and the messenger like his sender." "How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God? But do not think I will accuse you before The Father. Your accuser is Moses, upon whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" And if you claim to believe in Jesus Christ, why are you unable to recite his words? "Remain in me and I will remain in you. If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you may ask me for whatever you wish and I will do it. I will give you whatever you ask in my name, so that The Son may honor The Father. The is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit [that will last], showing yourselves to be my disciples." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." The enduring fruit is Jesus Christ's words. Why don't we listen to him and keep his words in us? I know God through him. Do you? But what is that to me? God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does." "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. For I did not speak of my own accord, but The Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command, his word, leads to eternal life. Therefore, whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say." "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says." How do you recognize God's voice? By hearing him speak through Jesus Christ's words, as written in The Holy Bible. "This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." Mr. Peterson, you speak of forgiveness. I would like to hear you quote what Jesus Christ, the only Teacher, explained about forgiveness. This is my call to all those who claim to be good: Listen to Jesus Christ and gain eternal life through understanding and knowing that his words and actions are God's words and actions. God saves, and said, "Forgive, and you will be forgiven. When your brother sins against you, show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he repents, you have won your brother over. If he does not listen, take along one or two others so that "each matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses". If he doesn't listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he does not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or an outcast. I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on Earth is bound in Heaven and whatever you release on Earth is released in Heaven. How can you say to your brother, "let me take the speck out of your eye," when the entire time there is a plank in your own eye? First take the moat out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Do not give pigs pearls or dogs what is sacred, lest they trample them and turn and tear you to pieces." Why do people blame Satan? "Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive." Don't accuse the accuser; does God really want you to ignore God's words and do what Satan does? Satan is no longer in the world, because as Jesus Christ explained, "Now is the time of judgement upon this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." And what about when God said, "Do not point the finger; do not cast blame," and Jesus Christ elaborated that evil comes from within a man's heart and makes him unclean: "evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly; all these evils come from inside a man's heart and makes him unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean." "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other." So if you want to help people with their anger, there is no alternative to quoting God and Jesus Christ, our only Father and our only Teacher. "The Spirit gives life. The body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe [and who love praise from men rather than praise from God]. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them and then I will raise them up during The Last Day." So stop blaming Satan and start listening to Jesus Christ who proves each heart guilty until it holds Jesus Christ's words; until it holds God's Living Word, who is Righteousness and Salvation of God from God by God. Jesus, or Jeshua, means God Saves. And Jesus Christ said in the Old Testament, "I am the Lord your God. There is no other savior." Yes, that's right, God's living mouth and hand and son was with the Father in the beginning, before Heaven and Earth were created. And many more revelations God wants to give you if you will only listen to his only son Jesus Christ. You see, as Jesus Christ explained, on the knowledge that Jesus Christ is God's Son, "I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it." It is Jesus Christ who builds his own church, and he explained, "My Kingdom is not of this world." I say to each of you, where is your heart? Why do we bother talking about politics or other foofaraw? "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." One must build their foundation upon putting into practice Jesus Christ's words, not dwelling in darkness of the blind guides and investing in things that rust and decay. I say this to every living soul, as Jesus Christ declared, "every living soul belongs to me" and is accountable to Jesus Christ The Master. Store up for yourself treasure in Heaven by listening to Jesus Christ. Listen to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ says to each of you, "Well do I know your suffering. Yet I have loved you. Learn from me." Finally, Mr. Peterson, I am unemployed and have read on your web site that you discuss work-related matters. If my reminder is useful to you at all, I quote, "Has not The Lord Almighty determined that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing, that the people labor in vain, and that the work of their hands is merely fuel for the fire? Because The Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The Lord as the waters cover the sea." "Actually, blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." In other words, all the controversial matters are a waste of time, focus, and thought, because they are mere foolish talking points for bantering pagans. Does The Most Serious God of Truth and Life want a person who knows and cherishes Absolute Truth to state anything other than Absolute Truth? No. Instead, to each person, I say, I am silent, but inquire of your God to humble yourself enough to listen to Jesus Christ, because you are not going to find your goals yourself. God will always prevent those he loves from walking into their own demise. "I am a great King and my name is to be revered and my decrees obeyed." Jesus Christ gave himself to prevent your demise, meaning that by believing in him, as he explained many times over, you will live now and continuously forever. But then again, I cannot make anyone legitimate. And what I say is irrelevant, even as cruel mortals who "have not known my Father or me" mock me. But what are insults to me? I am not God and I am not The Judge who seeks glory for himself, so what do I care about insults? Insults to me are as chaff that vanishes in the wind; but an insult to God is a death sentence towards the insulter. So be it, and so ends my written statement to you, Mr. Peterson. I know that irrelevant to each individual's desire will God make that individual fear God. Call me unloving if you want, but therein I find pleasure in God's pleasure. Although it is none of my business, I am satisfied to simply have known God and Jesus Christ through his own teaching. And no one can take that away from me. "No one can remove them from my hand." My friend, BLESSED is he who comes in the name of The Lord. You say good things about God on this show, right? Matthew 22:1-14 Matthew 25 Luke 8:1-21 "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But by standing firm, you will gain life." The definition of "firm" as an adverb is "in a resolute and determined manner" as in, "She will stand firm against the government's proposal." (Definition source is the New Oxford American Dictionary.) As an adjective, firm is "having a solid, almost unyielding surface or structure" or "strongly felt and unlikely to change" as in "he retains the firm belief in the efficacy of prayer". Now reading these definitions, I note the "almost" in "having a solid, almost unyielding surface or structure" and point out that the almost is indicative of weakness and reliance upon God in trust and in faith. And as I note that, God shows me how he is every day making me fail in ways that he reveals to me so that I would learn to trust in him and have faith in him increasingly according to his will. As I say, life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. We must leave humbling to God who is in control of everything. The notion of free will is arrogance in this Existence where God is Almighty and thus in control. But human notions are irrelevant in the light of the truth of Jesus Christ's explanations, and Jesus Christ explained, "make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for each tree is recognized by its fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit; each tree is recognized by its fruit. The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." So what is the value of calling a person to repent? Doesn't God have the ultimate clout and power and control, and it is his Jealousy that is at hand? "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." You can't bring people to God; God must do as he said, "I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me", and "after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself". And what about "the soul that sins is the soul that will die"? You have often said, "Have faith in God," and now I am telling you to have faith in God. "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice; and righteousness rather than burnt offerings." Jesus Christ already explained all these things, how God's loving Salvation from death is permanent and comes through himself, God's Jealousy, and The Most Revered Holy Spirit reminds us and teaches us as he explained. But I say to you, in the understanding given to a believer by God, isn't prayer affirmative action? "Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?" And "the man was speechless". "Then The King told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot and throw him outside into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are invited but few are chosen." And "whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Therefore as a reminder, you are not better than Jesus Christ's words, as no servant is greater than his master, nor can any man reveal God's glory to another man, as no messenger is greater than the one who sent him, and the duty of every Christian is to point to Jesus Christ as the one and only solution. To what problem? Well, if you don't know the problem, then I suppose you haven't lived long enough yet nor understood that God is in control of what happens in your life. Have faith in God. "In the same way, your Heavenly Father is not willing that one of these little ones should be lost." One of the images you showed today on your YouTube live stream misrepresented John 14:12 with the question, "Are you doing greater works than Jesus?" That is not possible, as anyone who knows God through Jesus Christ understands, as Jesus Christ said, "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." I encourage you to continue to reflect upon God's word, as he said, "The righteous will live by faith." The cure to anger is faith in Jesus Christ, and in that faith in God's Faithfulness a person learns true love. Regarding repentance, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." The repentance is to Jesus Christ, and the gathering is to Jesus Christ with Jesus Christ, not on our own. I appreciate the venue to talk about God and Jesus Christ away from persecution of those with cold hearts, who are cruel or callous. Only God can soften a person's heart so that they can understand The Good News, as Jesus Christ explained with the parable of the sower as in Mark 4:1-20. I have tried many times to praise God and serve him among people who are allegedly Christian, but almost unilaterally they want nothing to do with me and have made their animosity towards me with slander and libel no secret. But that is who they are: bad trees bearing bad fruit. "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." I wish you the best (his name is Jesus Christ) in and with all you say and do. I am not worthy to serve God and Jesus Christ, but I need mercy just like everyone else, and it is mercy that he has granted me. Therefore, I must be merciful to others, if I ever hope to be a god student of God to whom Jesus Christ would say, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been trustworthy with a few things, here are many things for you to manage. Come and share in your master's happiness!". I relinquish the balance of my time to the one I had no right to interrupt or speak before. "Take and eat. This is my body. Drink from [this cup], all of you. This is my blood of the [new (from Luke 22:20)] covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now until the day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom." -- We flawed beings must be patient with The Unchanging Lord God Almighty and not test The Unchanging Lord God Almighty. Jesus Christ's Father and your Father, Jesus Christ's God and your God, will give us at the proper time the treats for which we ask, according to how Jesus Christ explained. "Be patient, and do not put The Lord your God to the test." "I will give you whatever you ask in my name. You may ask me for anything, and I will do it. This is for my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, revealing that you are my disciples. And I will give you a Counselor, The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you will know him, because he will be in you and is among you." Etcetera. When a person says to you "patience", are you going to say "patience what?" or "why should I be patient?"? Have we so easily forgotten who is in control? Don't you remember that God is Almighty, and that you are weak and God loves you? "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." "Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" "Leave them. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." "Do not give dogs what is sacred. Do not throw your pearls to pigs. Because if you do, they may trample those things under their feet and then turn and tear you to pieces." "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." The Teacher teaches; respect him by stubbornly listening to him. (Stubbornness is to remain faithful to God and Jesus Christ, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy (actually Trustworthy, or more simply, "trustworthy"). Of others, you might say, "that person can do what I ask", but God and Jesus Christ paid for, and provided for, that a person should "ask[,] and you will receive, and your joy will be complete" ("you may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it"). -- Jesus Christ's words are his body and blood. "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during The Last Day. [...]" "Let nothing be wasted." "[...] Because my Father's will is that whoever looks to the Son [and learns from him] and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." -- Is God's work and words unalterable? Yes. "What I have written, I have written." One does not "enter the past"; the past, present and future are all controlled by God, who does not change. -- You can never be humble enough to be worthy of God and Jesus Christ's mercy; Jesus Christ is God's Living Mercy which he "exercises on The Earth because [he] delights in these [Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness] things". False gods (demons) seek abject humiliation and humility. God and Jesus Christ said, "But I am among you as one who serves." What a relief, right? Listen to Jesus Christ. "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." -- The people of this world complain to take one minute and thirty-three seconds to read Matthew 22:1-14, yet they waste entire lifetimes because, as Jesus Christ pointed out, they are so slow of heart to believe what God has said through Moses, The Prophets, and Jesus Christ. God will reveal their hypocrisy for all to see on The Day of Judgment. Always rushing, but never holding to The Truth. It's a wonder they're not all dead already. I wonder if non-Christians have shorter lifespans; but I already know the answer to that, and it's true because non-Christians are the metaphorical zombie, the walking dead, the non-living among the living. But there are so many zombies, so many weeds, and so few people who actually learn from Jesus Christ who is Life, that this world is as the living among the non-living. "My Kingdom is not of this world," and "Sanctify them by The Truth; your word is Truth. For them, I have sanctified myself, that they also may be truly sanctified." And this is why people abuse and misuse words so often. "Forgive them, Father, for they do not know what they are doing." "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. But I tell you that at The Day of Judgment, men will have to give an account of even every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be pardoned, and by your words you will be condemned." So God alone is good. And do men not quote Jesus Christ? Does his own creation not quote his words? God breathed and spoke Life, Jesus Christ, into the world, and yet God's Creation ignores and rejects God and God's Word, their very life-breath, who holds in his hand your life and all your paths. Isaiah 50:10, "Who among you fears The Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon their God. Observe, all of you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with spotlights, walk in the light of your fire and torches you have lit! This is what you will receive from my hand: You will lie down in a place of torment. Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and seek The Lord: look to the quarry from which you were cut. [...]" The Lord takes care of his own, wherever they are. Does a person who does not know what to say and who does not know what they are saying have more privilege to speak than God who knows everything, controls everything, and exercises only good of himself? You say, "No, but they are louder," to which I respond, "Oh really?..." It certainly would seem to someone who is focused upon the fool that the fool speaks louder than God, but alas, the fool is merely one Creation in Existence, and Jesus Christ is the one through whom God holds Existence in himself. When The Lord speaks, The Earth and all who are in it melt. Like the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz, fools ignore God because they are afraid of melting. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" This is why they arrogantly insult God's words; because they did not belong to God, their demise is at hand on The Day of Judgment. That is the only deadline for repentance. "Many who are first will be last, and the last first." -- Compassion is not based upon guilt, but upon honoring God's compassion for you. Jesus Christ is God's compassion for you. "[...] Listen to him!" "Administer true justice in the courts: show mercy and compassion to each other." -- I do not need a reward, because I know that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- To allot time to God's words is to set a limit to your own life. -- So I called into Jesse Lee Peterson's live broadcast show where he "takes callers". Among all the insidious rejections and insults I received in the YouTube stream comments, I called. Did he listen? Not at all. Observe: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/jlptalk1.mp4 https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/jlptalk2.mp4 Dude didn't listen to me. He's just forming his own narrative, because when I spoke the Absolute Truth, he rejected it and became afraid of me, so his only response was to form a narrative whereby he was trying to crush me for his own purposes; not for God's purposes, because he is not serving God. His hypocrisy is in full view, but others blindly follow this false prophet because they do not belong to God. "You have not entered yourselves and you have hindered from entering those who were trying to enter." I knew this before I called, but I played along even as he started asking me personal questions and even as he concluded the same as all the other non-believers have concluded: that they are free to follow their own agendas in their attempt to usurp God's Throne. He is a liar and a deceiver. God knows it, and God showed it to me ahead of time, and you can see the evidence of it here. I do not know if he ever belonged to God, but he is clearly off on his own, a dead branch to be picked up and thrown into the fire. All praise to you, Jesus Christ in Heaven, and to our Heavenly Father who is within you. As Jesse Lee Peterson dishonored God, Jesus Christ, The Most Revered Holy Spirit, and me, I quote now, "I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is The Judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JT9zST_gFY -- If everybody does not listen, then everybody should not speak. Why speak if everyone will not listen? Why speak if ears cannot hear? Why explain to unintelligent people? Why write letters to an illiterate people? Why speak to a deaf person? Why show something beautiful to a blind person? Why give food to someone who is full? Or why give something to a person who does not want it? Why give jewelry to an exile -- for whom will they wear it, or to whom would they give it? Why give a book to a dying man, since he has no time left to read it? Do you invest in corpses? Now then, why give an important message to someone without instructions on how to handle it or with whom to share it? Why give a messenger a message without also giving the messenger a recipient for that message? My God has given me great things and great messages, yet there is not a single soul around me who wants to hear what it is that my God has told me. How tragic is my fate, and how sad is my future. But I am not a social being. If I were, I would be miserable. But I am only miserable in part. I record for myself and for my God, and the secrets of Existence are revealed to me and not to others. My God considers me special, and yet I am sad, for there is no one with whom I can share the secrets of the universe. No one cares about me, and God prevents them all from understanding. I have no peer; I have no equal. I am without equal under God, even as I beg Jesus Christ to crush me under his feet. For I am not worth Jesus Christ's time or consideration, yet he has blessed me above all mankind. It is confusing for me, because I have so much information but no one else has the capability of understanding it. Perhaps it is not meant to be shared with other mortals; perhaps what is expected of me is not the impossible. Perhaps I am meant to be alone forever, without equal, without peer, even from birth. Mine is a destiny of isolation. So look on with all the others, and observe from a distance as The Lord crushes me under his feet. Then bleed tears as you weep from all your sins against me and my God and my Lord and His Most Revered Holy Spirit. "When I called, they did not listen. So when they called, I would not listen." Therefore, you will never understand. "You will be ever seeing, but never perceiving. You will be ever hearing, but never understanding. For these people's hearts have become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn; and I would heal them." -- I begged God for mercy. Jesus Christ's words are God's mercy. God accepts the little faith that a person may offer him, and he sees even the most remote nuance of faith. If it is great faith for a particular individual, he accepts it. If it is little faith for another individual, yet great faith for the individual who has that faith, then he accepts it as great faith. It is not for one man to judge another man's faith, because God sees what man cannot, and God accepts what man does not see, and God reveals it to man by mentioning that God accepts it. Man can only see what God reveals to him; "a man can only receive what has been given to him from above". What God has revealed to me I desire to share with others, but until God points it out to them, they can't understand; so my efforts are futile. To introduce God's word to the infants and to give the believers something to eat; because "man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God"; food does not make a person need to eat it; if a person does not eat food, it is not the initial consumption of food that makes the person need to eat it, as a permanent addiction or requirement of living or lifestyle; "it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick; Go learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice... Because The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." What is necessary for all is wonderful to me and hidden from others. Our Heavenly Father feeds us our food -- he gives us each day our daily bread. I begged God for mercy. I pleaded repeatedly, "Please help me." I apologized, saying, "I'm sorry." I beseeched Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. Even dogs came to lick his sores. Even the nearby dog came scratching at my door trying to comfort me. But where was my God? "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice, and Righteousness rather than burnt offerings," I said over and over. "I desire Mercy," I pleaded. "I desire Mercy," I said in a voice to imitate God. I called it out in a loud voice over all in my domain. I thought about what I did, briefly checking to see if I was at fault for ignoring God, and that perhaps this was "when I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen". But in my interpersonal relationships, I told the truth since God helped me to do so. But before God, I brought to him all my persecutions and trials. I begged The Counselor, My Counselor, to help me. I also begged Immanuel and God. I told God that he knows what I am thinking; that my words do not need to be spoken aloud when I pray. -- On what day is The Sabbath Day? It is the day that is the seventh day; it is the last day of each week, whichever you recognize as such. If a week begins on Sunday, then The Sabbath Day is Saturday; if a week begins on Monday, then The Sabbath Day is on Sunday. Don't bother trying to miscalculate which temporal moment you think it would historically be -- that is irrelevant to the meaning of the day, but only that it is the seventh day of each week, because God said, "It is not for you to know the times and dates that The Father has set by his own authority. [...]" -- Do not speak of angels. Leave angels alone. Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy. "[...] If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, The Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power." (Mark 8:38-9:1). -- God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Knowledge of God is not built upon safety and control; a country does not need to be secure before the people can build their knowledge of God, but God said, "My Kingdom is not of this world," and that means that it is actually God and Jesus Christ who alone is Trustworthy, and he builds his church as he explained. And all good things come from him. One such thing is safety and security. God is in control, and God can teach a person even while they are being tortured. God's power is greater than all physical and all spiritual and all emotional... "[...] My Father, who is greater than All, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." God is also greater than all accidents and all mistakes; "[...] They cannot be removed from my hand. [...]" https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/praise.mp3 Praise Jesus Christ. Praise His Name. [All Praise to The Lamb!] Praise God. "My grace [(mercy)] is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." Yes, those who read my words may misunderstand. And although I am not in control, and although I cannot save lives, God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Jesus Christ teaches me, and he knows me, as he explained. Whatever power and whatever right Jesus Christ gives me is to be given back, because I am not trustworthy, and my will only causes problems as much as God allows. I speak carelessly, or unkindly, imperfect and unworthy and disgraceful am I. I am not worth the time or consideration which could otherwise be given to Jesus Christ: "[...] so that all may honor The Son as they honor The Father. And [The Father] has given [The Son] authority to judge, because he is The Son of Man. [...]" At one time in my life, all I wanted to do was to kneel before Jesus Christ and confess. That was my reward. "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." At another time, all I wanted was for Jesus Christ's name to be praised forever. "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." At another time, I also wanted to be crushed under Jesus Christ's feet. "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.'" I know that what I deserve is to be brought so low as to be out of sight; I deserve that my heart, mind, soul and will be crushed by Jesus Christ. But that is even more than I deserve. I desire more than I deserve. But God works in secrets; "Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." So it is not what I desire that matters, but what God makes happen. I will get not what I want, but what God makes happen. And I am not worth his words. I am surprised that God created me and allows me to exist. -- Money is optional. "I do nothing without reason." Jesus Christ explained responsible use of money: "So then give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." If a government decides to discontinue or phase out money, then the people will be more inclined to act based upon reason -- but it all must be built upon God and Jesus Christ's words. "Simon, Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail. And after you have returned, strengthen [encourage/reinforce/support/assist/do good to] your brothers." If you think that money is the root of all evil, then discontinue its use. But by listening to Jesus Christ and learning from Jesus Christ, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free from enslavement to sin. There are many blind guides. "[...] No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would thus know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...]" Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come and your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us this day our daily bread. Please forgive us our sins. Please forgive for me. Please lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. In Jesus' name I ask, thank you. -- It is written, "The righteous will live by faith," and they will call him "The Lord our Righteousness". It is written, "Do not call unclean what God has made clean. Do not call unclean what God has made clean. Do not call unclean what God has made clean." It is written, "Man does not live upon bread alone but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God. Do not put The Lord your God to the test. Away from me, Satan! For it is written, 'Worship The Lord your God and serve him only.'" The answer is love. And that love does not come from within a person, but from God. "How foolish you are and slow of heart to believe all the prophets and scriptures that were written! Did not The Son of Man have to suffer much and be rejected by this generation and enter his glory?" So it is with false accusers who do not listen to Jesus Christ. They call me evil but all I do is quote Jesus Christ and God my Father. "I honor my Father and you dishonor me. [...]" "Do not call unclean what God has made clean." Tragic how they cannot know the only hope. I can explain, but they cannot understand. Instead of listening, they attack me. Instead of understanding, they gain rebuke. I am therefore to them a walking basis for their downfall. "When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment. In regard to sin, because men do not believe me. In regard to righteousness, because I am going to The Father, where you can see me no longer. In regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned." So why do I speak? They say speak, but they do not listen; they merely want to retort as if they could win an argument or contribute to a conversation by merely asserting themselves -- what a blind term shared by blind guides to lead the blind astray into further blindness. "Yet because I speak the truth, you do not believe me!" Had they been willing to accept that it is about God and Jesus Christ, they would not have attacked me. -- "Jesus, please save; please handle this for me," I asked for another. "Why should I help you?" he replied. "You shouldn't. You should throw me into Hell," I admitted. He said that because I was guilty of sin. As it was said by the blind man who saw, "We know that God does not listen to sinners; he only listens to the godly man who does his will." Then I understood and heard "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Don't you see? "Every kingdom divided against itself will not stand." Temptation is evil dividing you against yourself. A man who has sinned has been divided against himself, because to serve God is to serve goodness for yourself and for others. To sin is to be divided against yourself; temptation is a call by evil to invite harm to yourself and to others. "God alone is good." "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" Jesus Christ forgave and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life," and he said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" and "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "Do not put the lord your god to the test," and "away from me, satan, for it is written, 'worship the lord your god and serve him only'." If you want to live, obey God. And that means obeying Jesus Christ. That means believe in Jesus Christ. That means listen to Jesus Christ. Listen to Jesus Christ, and he will give you good things and do good to you. If you do not listen to Jesus Christ, you have been divided against yourself. To listen to Jesus Christ is to accept God's Living Mercy. Then good things will happen to you and to those for whom you beseech Jesus Christ. Evil divides you against yourself and tries to show God that you deserve punishment. Temptation is making bad things, things that harm you, look enticing, so that you will disobey God, invite bad things to harm you, and in so doing try to convince God to punish you. Evil tries to make temptation be the definition of insidiousness, but God is in control. "No one can remove [my sheep] from my hand," Jesus Christ explained... Jesus Christ protects his own from sin -- from destruction. I need Jesus Christ's words. "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am The Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." "For I know the plans I have for you: plans for you to prosper, not to be harmed, to give you life, a future and a hope." Jesus Christ is that plan. Jesus Christ is the only solution. "Listen to him!" "But I remain guilty," I thought, and "Leave me alone." But Jesus Christ says to me sadly, "Do not call unclean what God has made clean." Do not listen to me, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. After all, you do not want me, and you do not really want to listen to me. It is Jesus Christ you honestly desire and honestly need. And you know where he is seated as he explained until he returns as he explained. But am I worth it to hold onto his words? I desire more than I am worth. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "If you love me, you will obey my Commands." I know his commands, but that only means that I deserve many blows. But for all the grief I was put through, don't I deserve some sort of mercy? No, because it is mercy that I have rejected because I had his commands and I disobeyed him, and his commands were his mercy. I am not worth time or consideration. I merely write this. Not that anyone will care or should care. It is not my honor that matters -- and no, my enemy will receive no honor either -- but God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Listen to him. This is all I have to say: listen to Jesus Christ. But as Jesus Christ explained, a man in Hell who wants to warn others to listen to Jesus Christ only has Jesus Christ through whom to warn, by Jesus Christ mentioning the anecdote as he did, by his Mercy, not by the sinner's will or request. If it serves God and Jesus Christ, it is worthwhile. If I do not serve Jesus Christ, I am a waste. So don't listen to me. Mine is a path of torment, I am to be tormented in life, and suffer afterwards. Cursed, I will find no rest, except that Jesus Christ would crush me under his feet and destroy me as I desire, more than I deserve. But it is unreasonable to listen to me, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me," Jesus Christ said. "Good teacher, what good thing must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good and ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments." -- "[...] Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you the truth, he will see that they get Justice, and quickly. But when The Son of Man [returns], will he find faith on Earth?" (Luke 18:6-8). Everyone knows that superheros are a symbol for Jesus Christ, The Savior of The World. (God said, "I am the Lord your God. There is no other Savior," and "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit," and "But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of Heaven has come upon you.") Here is the opening music to the movies Spider-Man 1, Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man 3: WAV format: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/spider_man_intros.wav MP3 format: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/spider_man_intros.mp3 What is being conveyed through this music? Or would you call it noise, or sound? What do you perceive in this sound, and why do you think it was done the way it was done? What is stated is more than what an observer perceives, and what is understood and felt by one is not understood and felt the same by another. Am I to presume that any mortal can perceive and understand what I perceive and understand as it is revealed to me by God? God does many things; "My Father is always at work, even to this very day, and I am also working." Do you understand God's words? If you cannot understand God's words, how can you understand anything else? So consider: what does this music say to you? To me, it says: "Dear Jesus, Savior King, save!" But in the same way, you can neither perceive nor understand as it is for me, but I make no assertion that one experience is superior to another experience. But God gave me a mind and time on Earth to experience, think, know, and understand -- all for his glory. Listen to Jesus Christ who reveals all things through His Most Revered Holy Spirit of Truth, The Counselor, for The Sovereign Lord God Almighty, Creator of The Universe and its vast array and all lives therein, which God holds in himself. And God "exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things [he] delight[s]". But if God wants to explain something to you out of his mercy, will you listen and learn and accept and love him, and perhaps be grateful and say "thank you"? "But when The Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth?" You can answer a question, but do you really know its full meaning in full context and full depth, and is every revelation revealed to you in God's intent and purpose for it? You must listen of The Holy Spirit, not in man's shallow mind, ways, and values: "What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." How else can you understand? Do you praise God for all of his Creation? But what God shows me, I often do not share with others. But the mind of every mortal is weak; I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. So God gives what is most important, and said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me," and Jesus Christ is The Teacher, and His Most Revered Holy Spirit "will remind you of everything I have said to you, and lead you into all Truth". What is everlasting love? "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "Spirit gives birth to Spirit, and flesh gives birth to flesh. [...] The Spirit gives Life; the body counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe; this is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during The Last Day. [...]" God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Rely upon God's Mercy. Listen to Jesus Christ, and "do not put The Lord your God to the test". Jesus Christ is The Teacher who explains everything, as he explained... as he explained... as he explains, even today. "My Father is always at work, even to this very day, and I am also working." "Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and that I myself may be in them." Do you want Truth in you? How much understanding are you willing to experience? Perhaps a new life? What about an entire lifetime and beyond? In reply, Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." (John 3:3). Explain to me why you exist. There is a song called "People Need The Lord". Have you heard it? Perhaps there is some truth to be found in its lyrics -- but if not to understand what is being conveyed, then why music? Is it a musician's fault that a listener does not perceive what that musician intends to convey? Years of my own experience performing music have shown me enough proof of what I have already written here. And it saddens me that others do not see what I see. I am not a philosopher, I am merely thinking as I am and about what I see -- and to no great extent, either! But does extent of consideration yield additional depth of understanding? "You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God." That is the knowledge required for depth of understanding. "If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. Consider carefully what you hear; with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more. Because whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he [thinks he] has will be taken from him." (Mark 4:23-25). How do you listen to music? -- Jesus Christ is the gate for his sheep. Jesus Christ "draw[s] all men to [himself]". Therefore, The Holy Bible, which contains his words, is, as an open book, the gateway to understanding. Jesus Christ's words are an open invitation to understanding, to welcome all who would consider what he says -- all who would listen to him. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me." Jesus Christ is Almighty, and God is in Control. "[...] The Father and I are one." -- Man cannot be trusted to make accurate judgments and rational decisions. When a group of people were trying to impede Jesus Christ's work, Jesus Christ asked them questions in his own defense in order that, as he asked, "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?". You see, as he explained, "But men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil". I will give one contemporary example. Apple Computer has used its FairPlay Digital Rights Management in illegal ways, and they enjoy doing so because they do so in their routine and unjust forcing the consumer to update and upgrade or not receive what they paid for. What you paid for and was accessible to you yesterday is, at Apple's whim, no longer accessible to you today. They hold for ransom that which you have already purchased from them, in order to gain more money off of you. Why don't they judge for themselves what is right? Because they delight in gaining money at all costs, particularly at the consumer's cost, and unjustly. If you used iTunes 10.7 yesterday, and bought a video at 1080p quality, today, you can only access that 1080p video if you use iTunes 11.4. If you use iTunes 10.7 today, you can only download a video at 720p quality, even though yesterday you received that which was agreed upon in writing and that for which you paid. This decision was not made by you, but at Apple's whim. Here is an analogy to show you in a simple way how this is unjust and to give you an idea about how illegal this practice by Apple Computer is. You go to a restaurant (iTunes Store) and you order a twelve-ounce steak (1080p video). You pay in advance for the food, because that is the restaurant's policy. So when the food arrives from the kitchen (iTunes Store computer servers), you expect to receive that which you ordered, just like it is with every other restaurant you visit. What is placed before you is a six-ounce steak (720p video) instead. So you tell the waiter (iTunes) that this portion is too small; they take back the food and come out with another dish (you try downloading the video again) and it again it is merely a six-ounce steak, less than what you paid for in advance. Disgruntled and hungrily waiting for the food you ordered, you ask for the manager (iTunes customer support). You ask the manager why they are only giving you a six-ounce steak instead of the twelve-ounce steak that you ordered. They say that the would be glad to assist you in this matter, and say that before they do so, you should look and make sure that you are eating with a spork (iTunes 11.4). You tell them that you are not eating with a spork, but a spoon, fork, and knife (iTunes 10.7), as you did the last time you visited that restaurant (iTunes Store). You point out that when you arrived, as usual, you decided that you did not want to use a spork, but that you enjoyed using a spoon, fork, and knife like the last time you decided to visit their establishment. And you try to reason with them that requiring that you use a spork is not a rational reason to give you a six-ounce steak instead of a twelve-ounce steak. You look at the other tables and you notice that there is another individual eating a twelve-ounce steak with a spork. And you cannot understand why this restaurant suddenly will not allow you to eat a twelve-ounce steak with a fork, even though you paid for it, and happily did so the last time you visited that restaurant. And you begin to wonder to yourself if every restaurant has gone this mad, and if you will ever again be able to order a twelve-ounce steak and eat it with a fork and knife. Cleverly, you think, you attempt to use a spork and then the twelve-ounce steak arrives at your table (you download another 1080p copy of the video using iTunes 11.4). But when you attempt to eat it (play the video), you give up in frustration and ask for a fork and knife instead (you try to watch the video using iTunes 10.7). So when the waiter brings out the fork and knife, they promptly whisk away your plate of food (the video does not play in iTunes 10.7) so that again, you cannot eat a twelve-ounce steak with a fork and knife (you cannot obtain or play a newly-downloaded 1080p video using iTunes 10.7 today, even though you could do so with the same video downloaded yesterday). In anger, you leave the restaurant; and because it is not the restaurant's policy to refund your money after food has been delivered to your table for more than 5 or 15 seconds (after you download the video and your order is older than 30 or 90 days or whatever arbitrary and irrelevant timeframe), the experience results in you being fleeced by this already-rich restaurant (iTunes Store) and its owners (Apple Computer) which could have very easily and simply given you what you ordered but chose to hassle you in order to promote the eating of steaks with a spork instead of a fork and knife. Without any opportunity for recourse or justice, you go home and go to bed hungry and upset, and feeling like nobody would understand that you simply want to eat a twelve-ounce steak with a fork and knife like you did last week. Rather, you get the impression that trying to insist upon reasonable action by the establishment would simply net you no attention and no twelve-ounce steak dinner that you could eat with a fork and knife like normal. It's such a shame that this particular restaurant (iTunes Store) has offered such delicious twelve-ounce steaks (high-quality 1080p videos) and that now they will not give you that for which you paid unless you humor them by attempting to eat said steak with a spork (iTunes 11.4) instead of a fork and knife (iTunes 10.7), the latter with which you are familiar and enjoy using because it functions well. So the next day, you send a letter to the restaurant: "Apple is illegally preventing me from downloading the 1080p videos I bought unless I am using the most recent version of iTunes. Using iTunes 10.7, I was able to download a 1080p video, and now I am only given a lower-quality 720p video unless I use iTunes 11.4. The reason for this is arbitrary, whimsical, and unjust. I request to access what I paid for and accessed earlier with the iTunes I had." It seems that men are not God, who said, "I do nothing without reason". Because if men acted for reason instead of for greed, then all good things would come. -- Why do people take death seriously, and not take life seriously? "Dust you are, and to dust you will return." "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed." "Do not murder." "Put your sword back in its place; because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." -- I don't write or talk much. Remember that God wants you to trust him in good times and in bad times; he wants you to know him and to live with you through all kinds of situations that he has planned for you throughout your lifetime, and beyond. "[...] And I assure you that I am with you always, even until the very end of the age [of mankind]." -- Them: In train. Like I said, all was in vain. Nothing sold. Why almost everything has to go so bad and so wrong for me? What have I done? Me: I recorded myself reading The Holy Bible, the Gospel books, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It is the first time I read through them straight, and I even did it spoken, and recorded :wink: I am depressed also. God is always with me to help and guide me; and he reminds me of his words. "Is it not from the mouth of The Almighty that both good things and calamities come? Who can speak and have it happen unless The Lord has first decreed it?" "Well do I know your suffering." "Well do I know how treacherous you are." God's love and control and mercy surpasses all hardship: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." The only real joy is the peace that Jesus Christ gives everyone who belongs to him: Salvation, eternal life. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God, trust also in me." Perhaps Jesus wants you to pay more attention to the children around you. Remember that God values what people do not see. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Maybe if you did some nice things for people who did not expect it, you would feel happy. But know that some want to be left alone and might refuse. I am one who keeps to myself. -- If you want to compare me to you, see how I have spent my time and my money. I have used it to honor Jesus Christ and God. How have you used your time and your money? "Whoever is trustworthy with very little will also be trustworthy with much; whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Have you spent your time and your money honoring yourself? "My children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through The Eye of the Needle than for a rich man to enter The Kingdom of Heaven." "Who then can be saved?" his disciples asked him. Jesus replied, "With man, this is impossible, but not with God. What is impossible with man is possible with God; with God, all things are possible." God can do anything, and God sustains and manages and controls Existence and everything therein. "Who can speak and have it happen unless The Lord has first decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of The Almighty that both good things and calamities come? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" "Who is this who corrupts my counsel with wisdom without knowledge?" God said, "I am burning with Jealousy over Zion." "You [only] have one Father, and he is in Heaven; and you only have one Teacher, The Christ [...]" -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/matthew.mp3 https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/mark.mp3 Source Material: The Holy Bible, New International Version (NIV), Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.

Reading by myself for educational purposes. Edited audio. Words can be mispronounced. But you knew that already, didn't you? -- I am an infant. By habit of fear, against my will, I trip into every mud puddle I see. It sucks me in like quicksand, trying to destroy me. I struggle to get out, I yearn to be clean, praying, "Heavenly Father, please enough of the bad things," and "God, please handle this for me." The sludge on my face and in my heart is sin that causes woe, and through the whole ordeal, what you taught me beforehand is proven true: "I am weak, but God is Almighty." Not by my own will but by your sheer mercy do you clean me, by your own understanding do you teach me: You wrap a towel around me and lift me out; You wipe me off with blessing soap that stings my wounds; You gently tend them with a balm. You are my God; You are my Father. Your words let me see and understand Truth, Jesus Christ your Son. -- Educators, hearken unto me. I have words and wisdom you know nothing about. Listen to Jesus Christ. Abandon your hypocrisy and humble yourselves. Accept Truth. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "This is my Son, who I love. With him, I am well pleased. Listen to him!" -- God If you knew God and belonged to God, you would not make the foolish mistakes you are now making. God will humble you. But will you then gain understanding? I quote: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain. Their teachings are merely rules taught by men." "Love The Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. Love your neighbor as if they were you." (reworded) "Although seeing, they do not perceive. Although hearing, they do not understand." "You will be ever seeing and never perceiving. You will be ever hearing but never understanding. For this people's heart has become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn -- and I would heal them. [...] Whoever hears the word and does not understand it, Satan (The Devil) comes and takes away what was sown in his heart, so that they do not understand and turn and believe. This is the seed sown along the path. [...]" Even though I tell you to listen to Jesus Christ, "No one can come to me unless my Father first enables them to do so, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." This shows you that you are not in control of your own destiny. "Who are you, who you fear mortal men who are like grass, but you forget The Lord your Maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths?" "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." You read these words, yet you do not understand them. "[...] Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! [...]" And still, despite all pronunciations of judgment, and callings for understanding, your fellow man does not hold judgment over your life... yet. "If I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers cast them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Finger of God, then The Kingdom of God has come upon you." Oh foolish man. Oh foolish mortals. You have not held to the truth, and you instead neglect God's decrees. Will you ever learn to not try God's patience? But God can save you from this tragedy also. Repent of evil and listen to Jesus Christ, whose words are recorded throughout history by His Most Revered Holy Spirit. Read and understand while God permits his words to be among you. "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves. [...] Then they will say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!' For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?" If you want to be smart, listen to Jesus Christ, God's Son who knows everything as he explained, and is The Teacher. Then foolishness and evil thoughts will not plague you and lead you away from him. But you will throw yourself down at Jesus' feet in Spirit and in Truth -- in him and his words -- in God and God's Living Word -- and you will be healed by him. Because that is what God does. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" God humbles and cleans and protects the needy. And you will be surprised by his Mercy. "I do not delight in the death of anyone. Why should you die? Shouldn't you rather repent, and live?" -- If I go to a dentist, and I say to that dentist, "I need my teeth cleaned, please," and that dentist says to me that the price for a cleaning of teeth is $185, then I say to that dentist: "Jesus Christ purchased my life with his life; he gave his life as a ransom for many, for the forgiveness of sins. He gave his own life, and his own flesh and blood, so that I can live. Are you telling me that this $185 is required of me so that I can live, that $185 is more valuable to this dental office and this dentist than Jesus Christ's own life, more valuable than my own life, more valuable than God's love, and more valuable than God's Word, God's Covenants, and God?" Then what do you think that dentist will say? Will they understand and concede that life is more important than money? Will they use reason and logic, and think to themselves, "This person has a point," and have your teeth cleaned for free because of the reason for the fact that your life is valuable? Wouldn't they rather become offended at you and your words, claim that you are rude and tell you to leave, simply because they love money more than life and more than God? Why don't you ask them. Say this to them. Then we shall see how condemned they really are. -- Me: Carefully read what I write now. I am giving you explicit instructions. Do this and God will respond to what happens. In any case, he will provide for you so that you do not fall away. Now pay attention, my friend. Translate what I write here, type it into a letter, go to the office of the one who supplies your pension, read it to that person, and then hand them the letter you just read. Before you talk to them, ask them their name. Then say to them in English, "[first name], I have something to say to you." If they agree to pay attention to you, read to them the letter. Otherwise, stand there in front of them until they look at you, and then begin reading this letter in Romanian. If they interrupt you, keep reading the letter to them. I tell you the truth, they will not escape judgment on that day, or retribution from God for any wrongs they have committed towards you. Be calm; Jesus Christ's salvation is your peace, and he is always with you. He gave his word, The Absolute Truth. You have nothing to fear. After you have read it, put your letter on their desk and let them respond. But when they have responded, if they do not immediately give you money or increase your pension salary so that you may live, declare to them in English, "The United States and its God has found you guilty of murder. You will not escape judgment. Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." Then turn around and leave. That person is a pagan and an outcast. Ignore everything they say and do, and go home. If they immediately give you money and agree to do something about increasing your pension, respond however you will, then declare to them in English, "The United States and its God has found you innocent and forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven, because you showed good love rather than evil hatred. Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Then leave and go home without saying anything else to them. Be calm, as I said. If they tell you to fill out a form, reply to them in Romanian, "Thank you, but I do not speak to inanimate objects. Please listen to me." Then continue doing as I have written for you to do. This is the letter you should translate and read to that person in Romanian: If men acted for reason, they would become gods, as God explained to those to whom his words came, "I do nothing without reason," and "I have said that you are gods." God also said, "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?" Therefore, I ask you, what would happen if men acted for reason instead of for money? For by serving money, men cannot become gods, as God explained, "You cannot serve both God and Money." If you want good things for yourself, as God, who alone is good, explained, "Love your neighbor as yourself," "Do to others what you would have them do to you," and as he has given all his Commands and has taught. Therefore, listen to what I say to you now, [name], because today you must judge for yourself what is right, and "by your words you will be pardoned, and by your words you will be condemned". The Romanian Government is not giving me enough money to survive. No other human being is providing me with enough money to survive, and yet money does not come from God, but from The Romanian Government. If you, then, refuse to value my life, then I tell you the truth, The Romanian Government and all its employees will be held responsible for my death. You and your fellow employees will be guilty of murder. All this will happen because you valued worthless money and acted for selfish and irresponsible purposes instead of for reason. If anyone acts for reason instead of for money, they will become a god, because God said, "I do nothing without reason." Now I need [amount of RON] so that I can go to the dentist to fix my tooth so that the infection will not spread to my blood stream and reach my brain and kill me. Will you, a living and breathing human being, give me money to do this and increase my pension so that I may survive and not bother you anymore? Write and read this letter to them. Then we will see how condemned they actually are. Also write the same letter and read it to the local priest. Do the same with them as I have instructed. Then we will see how condemned they actually are. Do this and report back. If they do not give you money or increase your pension, I will, until I run out of money. And this will be a sign among them: "If they agree to do what is right, I will spare them. If they do not, they will suffer." - "Do you love me?" -- Jesus Christ (John 21:17). Them: Hello. I did as instructed ... with the outcome I was somehow expecting ... First, of course, I translated the letter and printed it. I was wondering to ask you if to also add in the letter, at urgent things I need: - full Xray of full mouth (the dentist would need it, and it is not free); - the 3 - 4 tooth root cysts that need surgery to be removed asap, one maybe biopsy even, cuz it is pretty big, like a pea grain almost (tbt, I am actually worried and scared of that, cuz I have been smoking for almost 20 years, and I have an uncle who also smoked and died of cancer with metastasis a year or two ago; and his cancer started with a small bump in the mouth, and during surgery he had a heart attack, so surgeons couldn't take it out, nor retry the surgery; so all he could do is to wait for cancer to spread, then in the end, to die from it); - the new lenses that I need for my glasses (keeping the old frames for them; the number for lenses has increased since last year when I had the other checkup, and I just had made new glasses last year, so I am kindof pissed off, cuz the lenses were expensive, cuz it is a complex combination of a sphere and cylinder lenses, and now I need even more expensive lenses, that also have to be progressive); - the door and window that go from my room to the balcony attached to the room, that don't close well for years now, leading to plenty of virosis/ bronchitis/ sinusitis/ even pneumonia, for a few years in a row now; (parents say they don't need to be changed, cuz "it is only a lil that they don't close"; but that is enough for me to get sick almost all the time during cold season, since I sleep there; parents' room don't even have a balcony, so their room is the warmer of the apartment, I think, so they assume my room is as warm as theirs, but it is not); - I also need to go to the hospital at least once more time this year, since I have only been once at the beginning (and for that, I have to have money for going out in the city every 2-3 days and buy food; and, of course, to "tip" generously the docs and nurses, cuz that's "how we do it here" if one wants to get some minimal attention from them); - well, I would also need a nose surgery, for deviated septum (it is not an aesthetic surgery, LOL, it is just that my nose septum aint right, which causes mucus to and stuff to gather there and makes my allergy and sinusitis worse; plus it cases some smallish issues to breathe, especially when I walk a lot; but this is not on my top list of to do things, cuz I have seen sis after her surgery, and I kindof got scared, seeing her pretty and small nose (way prettier and smaller than mine, LOL, sometime I am even a bit jelly of her cuz of it) swelled like a potato baked in the oven. Anyway, I let the letter as you instructed me to make it, translating it at the best of my abilities. ***** Ok, so, here it comes, what happened: I asked the persons' names. This was the easiest part of all. Then, nor the person from pensions office, nor the priest, knew English (or pretended not to know, I don't know). So they were rather looking at me with a mix of curiosity and irritability for having said to them something they have apparently not understood. So I had to wait for them to look at me, and then I begun to read the letter. The person from pension's office interrupted me various times to try to explain me her side of the things, but in the end she let me finish, seeing that the letter I was reading to her didn't seem long. Then I put the letter on the desk. Then she started to say that she can't give money to everyone in need cuz her salary itself is limited, and that pensions are governed by the Romanian laws, which do not allow her to increase my pension, unless she pays it from her own pocket. I told her what you wrote me to say, in English, and I left, while the woman was still talking behind me, trying to explain why she can't give me money nor increase my pension. Some people were staring at me, for having spoken in English, and for seeing the woman still speaking while I had already started to walk away. I hope that next time I have to go to pensions' house for whatever reason I might need, that woman won't have her working shift/ day at that time, or if she's there, I hope she won't be mean to me. On the other hand, the priest did not interrupt me. But when I have finished speaking, he said he can not help either, that I should go to emergency room at hospital and try to get the tooth fixed there. (What he didn't seem to know if that at emergency room at hospital they can do minor interventions if it is really urgent only, but they send you to see a dentist after; and the prescriptions are that kind you pay fully, they're not free, not even some % off.) So I said that phrase you told me to, and left. **** Yesterday I also went to my psychologist; she agreed to see me even if I couldn't pay her, I said I'll pay her next time we meet. She asked me how I am, so I told her about the tooth infection; but I haven't told her about what you told me to translate and do. At some point she leaned toward her purse, grabbed her wallet, opened it, then put it back, saying something like "Oh, I was going to get the phone, not the wallet !". I got no clue if for a spare second she thought of giving or lending me money, then changed her mind. Anyway, I mention her, because she suggested that I could do some voluntary work at a non-profit organization (or something like that) with which she works. That it would give me something to do, and an opportunity to get out of the toxic environment I got home, and it would be like a prep for when I will be better and be able to work again. By the way, I don't blame the psychologist for not giving/ lending me money. She does already a lot for me and sis: she sees me twice a month, charging me half the price per hour she charges normally; and she sees sis once per month for free. Me: Thank you. I will publish this information now on my web site, which I doubt anyone reads. But this information is valuable for reason if not for men. Now tell me how much you need to do what you need others to do for you. -- Can you think of an easier way to ignore potential from God and hinder progress than systems of money? Is there a faster and more effective way to avoid progress of the human race than money? "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God." God said, "I am burning with jealousy over Zion." God desires what belongs to God. If you knew God, you would give him your heart, mind, soul and will, because God "is not God of the dead, but of the living; to him all are alive. You are badly mistaken!" So I say, "If you" this, and "If you" that, but God is in control. "Why do you call me good and ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments. [...] Do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself [(as if they were you, in the same way that you love yourself)]." -- Mr. President, I heard that you are trying to find funding to build a wall at our country's southern border. Many organizations have presented themselves publicly to assist with this project. What I have to offer is supportive reason, according to God's Plan of what God has shared with me. I hope you find this valuable: What if men acted for reason instead of for profit? Then they would become gods, because God said, "I do nothing without reason," and "I have said that you are gods" to those to whom the word of God came, as Jesus Christ explained. But can you invent any more effective way to hinder progress than systems of money? If men act for profit instead of reason, they become vulnerable to evils such as greed, lust, folly, theft, murder (anger), adultery, malice, deceit, envy, and even slander and arrogance. I have written this in the past; yet although "wisdom is proven right by all her children," men still refuse to listen to me because "men loved darkness instead of light, because their deeds were evil" and what I have said comes from our God: Can you think of an easier way to ignore potential from God and hinder progress than systems of money? Is there a faster and more effective way to avoid progress of the human race than money? "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God." God said, "I am burning with jealousy over Zion." God desires what belongs to God. If you knew God, you would give him your heart, mind, soul and will, because God "is not God of the dead, but of the living; to him all are alive. You are badly mistaken!" So I say, "If you" this, and "If you" that, but God is in control. "Why do you call me good and ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments. [...] Do not murder, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself [(as if they were you, in the same way that you love yourself)]." -- Rely upon Jesus Christ. God said, "I am Almighty. Let me handle it for you." And so he gave Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. And he had mercy on us. -- Compassion brings progress. "I have compassion for these people; [...]" "I desire Mercy, not Sacrifice, and Righteousness [or, knowledge of God] rather than burnt offerings." "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." "If you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. The Son of Man is Lord of The Sabbath." "Let whoever is without sin cast the first stone. [...] has no one condemned you? Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin. ... I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have The Light of Life." Jesus Christ has explained that he is Life. "I am The Bread of Life. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever." "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one can come to The Father except through me. [...] The Father is in me and I am in The Father." "Just as The Father raises the dead and gives them life, so he has granted The Son to have Life in himself and grant it to whomever he is pleased to give it." "Just as The Living Father sent me and I live because of The Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me." "Because I live, you also will live." "For as The Father has Life in himself, so he has granted The Son to also have Life in himself." "In him was Life, and that Life was The Light of Men." (John 1:4). "I am The Resurrection and The Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? [...] Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see The Glory of God?" Jesus Christ is most generous and most merciful. He gives himself generously and without limit to whomever he is pleased to give The Spirit of Truth and Life. "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." -- The field is for the wheat, not for the weeds. The wheat is planted so that it will serve the planter. But weeds are uprooted and burned. The one who made the field sowed the good seed in it, for his own purposes. Fear him. "Remain in me and I will remain in you." The harvest will come, the servants will uproot the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, and the wheat will be gathered and brought into the barn. "My Father will honor the one who serves me, and where I am, my servant also will be." The Way to God, Truth, and Life, is forever. But death will be thrown into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Listen to Jesus Christ. All liars and deceivers will be uprooted and burned, because they have not entered The Kingdom of Heaven, they have no Life in them, and they have no Truth in them. They will burn and perish; do not be like the evil one or his evildoers. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy; listen to Jesus Christ. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me. They listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." -- Here then is the solution to every problem in 3 sentences: Listen to Jesus Christ. What if men acted for reason instead of for profit? Then they would become gods, because God said, "I do nothing without reason," and "I have said that you are gods," to those to whom the word of God came. O Money, which for millennia has hindered the progress of man, your end is near. Man cannot serve both God and you, and you have no place on his footstool. Your time of dragging men into evil will end swiftly. And you will not be remembered. For when you are gone, many eyes will open and see the path of God. And shortly thereafter, many souls will come to understand that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. And the narcissism of men will fade for a time if they become disciplined and holy in the knowledge that life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. All this and infinite potential for good can and will be realized by men, and there is no evil thought, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, or folly that can come from men's hearts to hinder God's Mercy. Now they are blind, but when he has abolished you, many will begin to see. Your end is near, and there will be much relief when The Age of Reason among men begins. Then men will become gods -- of God, who alone is good. For how can men hope to reach the ends of the galaxy when they have neither understood nor obeyed The Only True God who gave his words to us right here on his very own footstool? The ambitions of men fall outside reason, but only because men have not embraced the wisdom of reason, even though God, who freely and without limit gives all wisdom, declared, "I do nothing without reason". But the time of money is soon coming to an end, and for the explicit reason that man should instead act for reason, to weigh reasons even as it weighs his own soul in God's hand, from whom no one can remove him, as Jesus Christ explained. "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?" -- The love of evil is folly, and the wage of sin is death. The love of God is Righteousness, and the wage of Jesus Christ is eternal life. -- Mr. President: Regarding "the opioid crisis", I see a path to success which I now briefly present. First, abolish money to unshackle infinite potential for good reason; reason and logic, not money and medication, is the correct future of science and healthcare. Second, by listening to Jesus Christ, we know that compassion brings progress; and people need The Lord and his discipline; so if this truly is a righteous nation as you have called us, we must see mercy and compassion to victory; Jesus Christ has already led Justice to victory, and in his name the nations put their hope; loving your neighbor as if they were you is the path of success. Thirdly, we finite and weak beings must continue praying to Our Almighty Father who explained, "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." The love of evil is folly, and the wage of sin is death. The love of God is Righteousness, and the wage of Jesus Christ is eternal life. -- Use reason, not money. If you do not know what to do, trust God and Jesus Christ. "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God." "I have come into the world as a light, so that whoever follows me should not [should never] walk in darkness, but have the light of life." There are many things that I do not use words to say; and they are not expressed in music either. Private matters I do not express in words for ears to hear. God knows what is on my heart. And he knows how unworthy I am. "I am burning with Jealousy for Zion." If I speak with a man or a woman, I cannot share with them anything other than what God gives me to say for them to hear. So it is not for people to know what is on my mind or in my heart. "Oh adulterous and unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." But my words mean nothing to you, do they. Yes, that is a statement, not a question. How many times would a man need to say "listen to Jesus Christ" before a person does so? And when the person does so and they are made well by God by God's words, as he explained, "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" then what shall be said? Nothing. Silence. Silence for rebuke, for guilt, for contrition, for wisdom and understanding, for humility. And when God guides me in power to rule over those around me, what shall I say? I think that I am unworthy and my place is under Jesus Christ's feet, a place where I am also unworthy to be. And I give him what he gave to me, not to be rude or disrespectful; and I am treacherous ("Well do I know how treacherous you are. You were called a rebel from birth.") But even when I listen to Jesus Christ, and I say more than you can know, I must be crushed under his feet. For I am not even worth the association to him that his enemies have. "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies as a footstool underneath your feet.'" You go invent your rewards to ask of your Lord. I see what kind of person I am and I know what kind of reward I need. And when I am wrong, it is Jesus Christ himself who teaches me. Why should I speak to men who cannot understand what I say? Should a person speak in a foreign language, a language unintelligible to the listener? But does anyone even listen to me, even when I speak in English and write in their native language? And in the native language, a person does not understand what I communicate. For if they did, my words would be unnecessary to say; "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Should you be surprised by my saying the words "listen to Jesus Christ"? It's not about you. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments." See, you cannot even live without God's Commandments. Yet these "independent" fools want to ignore God completely, even though they dwell on his footstool. Rude much? But no, you cannot understand any of this. No man can understand what I say in my words, because my words are of God and from God and to God for God among God before God to serve God in loving God by eating God and harboring God because of God with God. But you could possibly understand if you would simply listen to Jesus Christ. As Jesus Christ explained. Not as you read into my words. So am I wrong, or do you simply not understand what I'm saying? A man of truth listens to Jesus Christ who said, "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/something.wav -- Music without words is a parable only one understands. The one who understands it is not you; but as in all other matters, you think that you understand, which is why you go about making assertions and requests. But communication belongs to God -- to the one who understands it; "He will guide you into all Truth". When the loud trumpet call is given, who will understand its call? "Then the cry rang out, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'" -- Mr. President: God loves you. I have seen a video of you saying that the current Pope has questioned your faith, and I agree with your response. Today, I was searching over some of my writings and I found this and thought of you: "It is not for one man to judge another man's faith, because God sees what man cannot, and God accepts what man does not see, and God reveals it to man by mentioning that God accepts it." Recently, I have also been judgmental towards a fellow man's faith. But one good thing I have, and that is the knowledge that God is jealous -- he desires what belongs to him. Thank you for your time and service; and I encourage you to rely upon God to handle all matters of opposition against you. -- In Jesus Christ's name, I forgive you of this and all other sins you have committed against God or man. -- "They will do even greater things than these, because I am returning to my Father." This means that Jesus Christ will do greater things through his own than he did himself as he was leading Justice to victory, because, as he said, "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, even until the very end of The Age." As he explained, "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. It is enough for the servant to be like his master and messenger like his sender." Jesus Christ explains everything; I could go on and on with evidence and proof and truth after truth, wisdom upon understanding, but just listen to him yourself, OK? People challenge me by asking me if I am "born again" or if I am a Christian. I have nothing to prove to them; they too will kneel and confess and be held accountable for even every careless word they have spoken, as Jesus Christ explained. They would not be so cold-hearted or foolish had they listened to Jesus Christ. "By their fruit you will recognize them." Because I understand and have understood and Jesus Christ knows me, I am one of his sheep. He has spoken for me. But those who challenge me often are those who do not want to hear his voice. Why should I communicate with a fool who hates God? Or would a narcissist listen to reason and accept humbleness? But Jesus Christ dotes upon his sheep with discipline, guidance, humbleness, gentleness, kindness, justice, and righteousness; he is God's Mercy, as he explained; and Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life... all things he explains for his own, ahead-of-time. God acts compassionately. "For his name's sake" is saying that Jesus Christ is God's Compassion. Because of Jesus Christ, who is Most Merciful, God shows Mercy, and perfectly, as Jesus Christ explained. But I still find myself asking, "Who cares about any of that?" But I am supposed to care about those who do not care about the one I care about. But I can't say anything to them, because the words would be wasted on them, because they do not care about Truth or Life. They are of liars and murderers; liars hate Truth and murderers hate Life. So they also hate truth and life, because they are bad trees. "Let me be The Judge," Jesus Christ says to me. Here end my words. I will write no more. -- The Last Text Man, unworthy, clings to himself. Fear and narcissism. Pride and arrogance. God, evaluator, loves man of himself. Goodness. Love. The child under his wing remains unseen and unheard. Only God knows the ones God protects. He sustains and cherishes and disciplines with life, with compassion, and in secret he feeds his own with his own body and blood: The Truth. And no one knows The Son except The Father. To clean his own children because of his son, most merciful, to make his own as his own lifeblood, to make his life their teacher and lord in fulfillment of all kindness, justice, and righteousness, in and of himself by his own plan and work of his own lifeblood in his own pleasure of himself and his only son, Lord Righteousness, Salvation, Humbleness, Compassion, Gentleness, Glory, Honor, Praise, Purity, Justice, Truth, and Life. The gate for the sheep is the shepherd their Lord who holds all Existence and Authority in Heaven and on Earth and whose Father holds all Existence within himself through his son. Of God, by God, for God, to God, and only God, is by his son, for his son, to his son, and only his son. In and of and by himself, he gives life according to his pleasure. He is the judge and to him all life will return. Then he will sort each according to their actions. Life, light, truth, salvation of righteousness and justice, has come, but the world did not recognize him. Hidden, he worked and suffered and taught for all to see as a man -- the man of all mankind, the master of servitude in justice, the original and bountiful source of life freely and infinitely given by God according to his own lifeblood word. Before man, God's plan was loved, and in the sight of man, God's plan was done. Justice victorious, fulfilled by God's son by his own Life as God's own lifeblood freely lit everything for man to see through His Most Revered Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, the Master and Redeemer, was always one with his Father, now our Father, through and of himself, The Lamb of God who has cleaned away the sin of the world as God's only pure lifeblood Son, whose flesh and blood he gave as Spirit and Life and Truth, so that everyone who would believe in him will live forever because he lives. Listen to Jesus Christ! To the only God, the only hope, the only love, the only savior, the only intercessor, my Father and Teacher, my Master and Redeemer, the only Truth, for him and by him and in him I give to him myself, my life, all that I am and all that I have, for his pleasure and honor in microscopic service of his glory. May Jesus Christ's name be praised forever because of what he has done and because of who his Father is. As for me, I am an outcast and have no place among him or his people. I have nothing further to say. He suffered alone with God, and no one else felt his suffering. As a bystander, all I have is to see him receive his reward; and God makes me see it because I am among those for whom he has done that for which he is rewarded. Revere His Majesty, and let me remain alone in silence. -- Let me see if I can communicate something. Hypothetically. Let's pretend that you knew the creator of the universe. The God who knows and sees and controls all. Imagine, hypothetically, pretend, that you knew him. Now God tells you something. And God gives you eyes to see what no other person can see. Except a select few individuals scattered throughout the world. As a child, God shows you things that no one around you would ever comprehend. As an adult, he trains you in ways no other could ever see. He tells you secrets. Things hidden since the dawn of time. How would you feel? And how would you feel knowing that you would never be able to share that information? How would you act, seeing everyone else as inferior, knowing they had no comprehension of what you knew since childhood? And how would you act when you tried to show people the way in which they could gain that knowledge, and all the while God was not allowing them to do that? With whom could you speak? No one. No one could understand -- and not simply because God did not enable them to understand, but because God was preventing them from understanding -- a matter he explained clearly. Would you feel isolated? Would you feel alone among men? When they made fun of you and your words, because they had no understanding, would you take some of the power and destroy them? God Almighty. God Omnipotent. Sovereign Lord. Lord of Heaven's Army. Does it not make sense that a sovereign lord of a vast army who is in control with absolute power could and would give some authority to distribute among his subjects? Don't emperors use kings? Don't presidents use governors? Don't governors use mayors? Doesn't the world consist of several continents and those continents contain countries? "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." So let's say God tells you secrets like none other, and gives you power according to his will. Do you not feel different from others? How would you feel? What would you think? To not be able to communicate vast wisdom and fundamental understanding -- and knowing that your attempts to communicate such information would be failed. "He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears. He will take from what is mine and make it known to you. Everything that belongs to The Father is mine; that is why I said that The Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you." Now pretend, if you will, that the secrets of reality were contained in writings given by God thousands of years old and shared throughout history, yet only certain few of those who read them had the eyes to perceive and the minds to understand, controlled by God. And say someone came to you and began quoting them and said, "listen to the one whose words are recorded therein". Would you do it? And if you read those words and did not understand them, would you come back and mock and insult the person for telling you some of what they know? How would you act if God responded privately to you at your every thought? If at first consideration, God revealed the exact outcome? How would that change your thought process? And what if God did things with you that you could not explain in words? How would you feel if there were no possible way to communicate an experience that were commonplace to you yet hidden from the comprehensions of everyone else? Would you feel different to others? And if with a word you could reduce your opposition to dust, and with a thought, you could cause them tragedy, wouldn't you be inclined all the more to trust in God? If you saw with your eyes angels and demons and spirits, both repulsive beings and obedient soldiers -- or what if God gave you eyes to see what he sees, and gave you a glimpse of existence and words to describe what you saw? Would you attempt to describe it to those who reject him and his words? If you saw God and God lived with you and you knew him and he knew you, would you be able to relate to anyone else? If he set you apart and gave you comprehension that set you apart from all those around you, what would you do? And if you knew that even the suggestion of any of this would cause anger in people, would you want to ever be in the presence of another person? Say you found a hobby and God used that life experience to bring him attention of others involved in that hobby. But your words were, as he explained, seed on the path to them. Would you continue in that hobby? And if you saw around you that everything were flawed and you were the only one who had the solution -- and God were waiting and expecting and seeing what you would do with what he gave you... what would you think and what would you do? If you could not speak to anyone. If the entire universe were watching you. And God took his hand and gave you authority over all those in a wide radius around you. If he delegated to you authority among men, all within his control, what would you do? Would you crush them? Would you ask God to make you an instrument of his vengeance? If you had control and absolute influence over everyone around you, and with a stray thought could make anything happen, what would you do? Would you spend time trying to convince others to still look where the understanding could be found? Even though you knew they could never understand it on their own? What would be the point? Would you pursue some random hobby and hope that when God removes you from the position of authority, he is not disgusted with you? How would you feel and what would you do, knowing everything about the future, controlling the thoughts of all those in your purview, and having a responsibility to use this for God's glory? -- Them: Hey, I stumbled across your mod for Halo, but the link is dead. Do you still happen to have a copy of this? And is it compatible with Halo PC for Windows? http://www.macgamingmods.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=13487&start=0 Me: Hi, [them]. I certainly have this still. But it's simpler for me to tell you what I did than to send you these particular files. All you have to do is use the HEK to edit the flashlight effect tag to chain-spawn an active camouflage equipment tag with a short lifetime. As 2310 pointed out, the approach does nothing more, not even avoiding the blue screen flash -- but you might be able to find out where in the tags or hardcoded memory values you could eliminate that blue screen flash from interacting with active camo. Or you could simply use Blam! scripting to give the player active camo. Or you could modify the player's struct in memory or use SAPP to give the player camo via a SAPP Lua script that checks for the flashlight state. If SAPP isn't available, you could do a HaloMD plugin or third-party memory-modding app. Superior alternatives abound. Have fun, let me know if you still want these specific files, where the map is in Halo Demo PPC format and the tags I'm guessing were in Eschaton .meta/.xml format. Me: Also, I don't check e-mail every day. If you are interested, join my discord server. Here's a link for you: [link] Have a great day. Them: Hello [me], Unfortunately, I'm just getting start with HCE modding. Not particularly keen on using HEK+ (although I've been reading up on it lately). I've always preferred basic Eschaton stuff. I'd like the files for the mod please, although a detailed tutorial for the HEK stuff would be much appreciated too. Also I see that you've embraced the Christian religion? Fascinating, I used to identify with that belief system. Why do you think it's true? Them: Er I read that wrong. You said HEK, the default one? Guess I'll try that out then. Me: I'm happy to help with Halo modding or whatever. Did you use the discord link I sent? I did send you a discord link, right? Here is another. [different link] Now to answer what you asked about Christianity. I recognize God's voice because I belong to him, as he explained. I encourage you to listen to Jesus Christ, whose words are written in The Holy Bible. But "no one can come to me unless my Father draws them, and I will raise them up during the last day." Also, where did you see that I am a Christian? As for knowledge and faith, I believe because I know and understand and see and hear. To put this simply, I know God because I have seen God. I know Jesus Christ because I have seen Jesus Christ. I know angels because I have seen angels. I know The Holy Spirit because I have seen The Holy Spirit. What I see and hear and observe and perceive with my own eyes, ears, and nature, is only judged by others because those others want to please themselves, as Jesus Christ explained, and therefore their judgments are false. I could respond in answering all your questions with quotes from God, but if you do not have the love of God in your heart -- if you do not know him, and if he does not know you -- then he will prevent you from understanding his words, because God only disciplines those he loves, but allows corruption and depravity to rot the minds and hearts of those who do not love him. Why? Because there is only one who is good. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." As for your alleged former belief, I find that absurd. "Whoever puts their hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for service in the Kingdom of God." In other words, you never truly understood if you reject the only one who is good. God alone is good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Only folly, an evil, would tempt you to ignore God. Why? Because folly is an evil "that comes from within a man's heart and makes him 'unclean'." Folly is valuing wickedness -- but God is God of the living, not the dead. "If anyone keeps my commands, he will never see death." "Whoever loves me will obey my commands. My Father and I will come to him and make our home within him. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me, but come from my Father." So tell me, when you "were a Christian", what did you believe? And now that you claim to not be a Christian, what do you believe? Them: I did use the link, but quite frankly, I'm not used to posting in people's personal/private discord groups. I prefer public ones. Also, where did you see that I am a Christian? In your discord, I scrolled up a bit. ___ I recognize God's voice because I belong to him, as he explained. I encourage you to listen to Jesus Christ, whose words are written in The Holy Bible. But "no one can come to me unless my Father draws them, and I will raise them up during the last day." What does it mean to "belong"? How do you reconcile that verse with John 12:32? "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." As for knowledge and faith, I believe because I know and understand and see and hear... What I see and hear and observe and perceive with my own eyes, ears, and nature, is only judged by others because those others want to please themselves, as Jesus Christ explained, and therefore their judgments are false. You say you see, hear, and observe yet you began with "I know", suggesting that knowledge of god by intellect supersedes knowledge of god by instinct. I could respond in answering all your questions with quotes from God, but if you do not have the love of God in your heart -- if you do not know him, and if he does not know you -- then he will prevent you from understanding his words, because God only disciplines those he loves, but allows corruption and depravity to rot the minds and hearts of those who do not love him. Why? Because there is only one who is good. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." How does he "discipline"? I have the impression that the Christian god is a torturer. Luke 11:11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?" Aristotle said that all men naturally desire to know. He is supported in this by Eccl. 3:11. "Adam" wanted to know between good and evil and this was denied him by a jealous "god". As for your alleged former belief, I find that absurd. "Whoever puts their hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for service in the Kingdom of God." To whom was that addressed to though? Backsliding has few risks for the superficial individual. No, it is the genius who chooses happiness over morality who suffers grievously. In other words, you never truly understood if you reject the only one who is good. God alone is good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. I've come across this strain of thought before. People tell defectors that they were never one of them, overlooking their past contributions. Only folly, an evil, would tempt you to ignore God. Why? Because folly is an evil "that comes from within a man's heart and makes him 'unclean'." Folly is valuing wickedness -- but God is God of the living, not the dead. Evil is good in excess, a degeneration of natural instincts. ___ So tell me, when you "were a Christian", what did you believe? The basic Protestant stuff. And now that you claim to not be a Christian, what do you believe? I concur with Thomas Jefferson that a man's religion should be a private affair so I can't answer that question. I guess you could say I'm agnostic/deist. Me: So tell me, when did you stop trusting God who created you, loves you, wants to teach and protect you from suffering, and knows everything? [No reply] -- Those who are angry at God, those who are disappointed with God, those who are unhappy in any way, those who think that God is cruel and mean, and those who reject God so much that they only want to be around sinners God has cursed and rejected, eventually must think about this: Jesus Christ was rejected by men and by God. It is even written, "He was numbered with the transgressors," "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; The Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our sight," and "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" So if you only want to accept those God has rejected, if you are cursed and forsaken, if you are enslaved to sin, and if you do not love God but are disappointed with what God does, Jesus Christ is the perfect candidate to accept: you only want to be around those God has forsaken, and Jesus Christ was forsaken by God; you only want to accept those God has hurt, and Jesus Christ was rejected and crushed by men and by God as he took on all the punishments every sinner who will ever listen to him would have otherwise faced from God; you are enslaved to sin, and Jesus Christ frees; you do not love God but are disappointed with what God does, and Jesus Christ knows and helps. -- The Lord is most merciful. His name will be revered eternally. I called to The Lord but he shunned me. He did not respond to my plea. My enemies strive to destroy me. But you are in control. What you bend is bent. What you straighten is straightened. What you command has reason. I perceive not, but you guide me. Your plan is for well-being. But I see evil before you. I ask you to end it, but you overrule. It will end, but on your schedule. I am tiny, and you are wise. Will I ever stop rebelling? You are good; your words do good. My words mean nothing but my disgrace. Yet I cannot remain silent because I am weak. Most gentle, I have overdosed on your words. My mind and heart fail in my weak disgrace. I am left with trust. But fear and psychosis stalk me. Surely I will disappoint you without end. But your Son is my Righteousness. Thank you, Heavenly Father. "My grace is sufficient for you; my power is made pure in weakness." -- For The United Kingdom and London: https://videos.galaxyverge.com/london_tour_2019.mp4 I have contacted The President of The United States (I'm an American) many times regarding Tommy Robinson and the situation in the UK and Europe, and regarding the media's weaponization of lies. Several days ago, he sent me a small letter via mail thanking me for the encouragement and giving his usual encouragement in response. Later, I sent him another e-mail acknowledging receipt of his letter and also saying that perhaps I could visit sometime in person. And I included a poem that I had just written to The Lord. A day or two ago, I opened the Bible to Proverbs and Jesus Christ showed me this verse: "Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that man gets justice." Last night, I put together the aforementioned video documenting in the irony of a sarcastic apathy the several images and videos I collected from your various UK Telegram channels calling for justice. I also tweeted and e-mailed the video to The President and some news reporters. I would like to encourage you all to do your best as your people are experiencing God's punishing discipline. Remember: "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation." Do not rely upon yourselves, as the lyricist wrote in the hymn A Mighty Fortress is Our God: "Did we in our own strength confide? Our striving would be losing! Were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus -- it is he! Lord Sabaoth his name, From age to age the same. And he must win this battle." The reason God lets all these things happen is this alone: Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." (John 14:1). Therefore, hold your politicians and yourselves accountable to Psalm 82:3-4. And... Repent! Forgive! Live! "[...] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body: when your eyes are good, your whole body is filled with light; but if your eyesight is poor, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great[ly oppressive] is that darkness! So make sure the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is filled with light, and no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant as though a lamp were shining upon you." (ca. Matthew 6:23 and Luke 11:35). This speaks volumes to the whole situation. We see so much violence and evil in the entertainment media and news media and even in our own experiences, but the good way to look is to Jesus Christ and God who "alone is good" (Mark 10:18 and elsewhere). It does not mean be ignorant or turn a blind eye in apathy -- God was clear many times including Psalm 82:3-4. Defend the life of your neighbor. Look after each other. Love your neighbor as yourself. Even love your enemies and do good to those who hate you and bless those who curse you and pray for those who persecute you. Why pray for your enemies? So that God would make them understand and stop doing evil! circa Luke 6:27 At the end of one's life, this fact is proven true: "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me." God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Why bother trusting strangers or politicians who have worked for their own voices to be heard? Listen to Jesus Christ. For God Created us, loves us, disciplines us, controls "in his hand your life and all your paths", and does not want us to suffer. That is why he gave his only son, "so that whoever might believe in him will not perish but have eternal life." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die: he has crossed over from death to life." "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is The Judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Do not follow the blind guides. "Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." "Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the Name of The Lord and rely upon his God." "I have come into this world as a light, so that whoever believes in me will never dwell in darkness but have the light of life." "This is the verdict: light has entered the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does evil hates the light and will not step into it out of fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." The Name of The Lord is Jesus, "God Saves", God keeps safe (protects from harm and death). "You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it." "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many." "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." This means that God and Jesus Christ has loved you yesterday, loves you today, and will love you tomorrow. "Men are not cast off by The Lord forever. For The Lord does not willingly bring grief to the children of men; although he brings grief, he will show compassion. [...] His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, Great Lord." "I, even I, am he who comforts you." "Who are you that you fear mortal men who are like grass yet forget God your Maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths?" "Is it not from the Mouth of The Lord that both good things and calamities come? Who can speak and have it happen if The Lord has not first decreed it?" "Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" "If you forgive men their sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive men their sins, they are not forgiven." "Forgiven them, Father, for they do not know what they do." In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord Life, King Truth, God of our forefathers, King of Glory, Lord Almighty, Good Creator, First and Last, Beginning and End, Good Shepherd, Desiring to Shield, Faithful Forever, Source of Purity... I forgive you all of all your sins against God and against Man, past, present, and future. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive for you those who he commanded you must forgive. He knows, and for your sake, he will, because his love for you is greater than all of man's anger and hatred. That is real Justice. Rosie 23 said "well done" and that the video I put together should be shared. I replied: And this is real Justice, as in Proverbs 29:26 : Repent. Forgive. Live. And in the Name of Jesus Christ and Our Father in Heaven, God of the living, I forgive you all of all your sins against God and against man, past, present, and future. "If you forgive men their sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive men their sins, they are not forgiven." "A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are only cruelty." (Proverbs 12:10). It is the obligation and divine duty to obey Psalm 82:3-4. Look after your neighbor, and defend them to the death. Otherwise, flee with them as Lot fled from Sodom -- don't waste your time looking back, but look to God who alone is good -- so The Lord can bring judgment upon the land behind you. Either way, man will learn to fear God and the blessed (taught by God) will learn to trust God. Because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy, and this is why he disciplines: out of compassionate love to keep us safe. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21). "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3, NIV). "God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs." (Matthew 5:3, NLT).

"If Satan can't keep you away from Christ, he will at least try to make you doubt your salvation." #BillyGraham Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, who wert and art and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea; holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Someone from one of my other communities told me in so many words not to show him or others in that chat that video I put together. I said, "Too much reality for you?" and "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are luke-warm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:15-16). This quote is for everyone who claims neutrality and turns apathetically and ignorantly away from God and from the death and misery of their fellow man: "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are luke-warm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:15-16). The liberal agenda is nothing other than total, consuming, oppressive, great evil. They accept homosexuality like Sodom and all other kinds of evil depraved acts and thoughts from within their hearts, and so they are unclean and must be purged before God -- either fire of purity or fire of punishment, discipline or death. Fire came down from Heaven and consumed Sodom and Gomorrah. The people refused to accept fire of refinement by discipline so they received fire of destruction. The flaming sword is double-edged: one edge is purity by discipline and the other edge is purity by death. Which edge do you prefer God to use on you? "I will come and fight against them with the sword of my mouth." Meanwhile, Theresa May is kneeling in mosques and trying to make bargains with Satan. Yet you forget God your maker, who holds in his hand your life and all your paths. Have we so easily forgotten who is in control? But who is willing to listen to reason? Everyone is clamoring to be heard, for everyone to "listen to me", but God said, "This is my Son who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" So while men claim they are the savior, the christ, that everyone should listen to them, that their own voices must be heard to pave the way to victory for justice -- all proving, "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false" -- but Jesus Christ already led Justice to Victory. "In his name the nations will put their hope." Would you trust a politician whose entire work was to get other people to listen to them, or would you trust God who is listening to your every thought and willing to give you anything you ask in Jesus Christ's name -- Salvation, Safety -- because he loves you eternally -- yesterday, today, and tomorrow -- and knows exactly what you need before you ask? Just wondering how apathetic you want to be -- apathy is ignorance and leads to enslavement and death. You who criticize knowledge are guides of the blind. Politicians love their all-expenses-paid taxpayer-funded cushy jobs. They couldn't care less, the only voice they want heard is their own so they can keep their cushy job and attention. God on the other hand is in control. And is "gentle and humble in heart" and offers "rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light". :thinking: I wonder why God lets bad things happen.... hmmm...... Oh that's right, he already explained it multiple times. I almost "forgot". Meanwhile, people go about their business and stubbornly act like infants with temper tantrums. I am constantly disciplined. Are you? Do you know what that's like? Do you really have any right to an opinion when you have not lived and do not care due to apathy? Will you continue to speak on your own to gain honor for yourself yet reject praise that comes from the only true God and Jesus Christ who alone is worthy of praise? But that you would not listen to me is intentional: instead, your future is death and eternal torment and to be reduced to ash and forgotten forever in The Fiery Lake of Burning Sulfur. Great future you have ahead of you -- great suffering. Shall I not be one of those who alerts you to this destiny, so that perhaps, if God allows it, you might change and turn away from your selfish cruel wickedness, reject the wrong, and choose the right? The people in Hell are shouting to you, but God doesn't let you hear. God has told you, but you don't want to hear. So APATHY AND IGNORANCE DESTROYS YOU. ^ That is what I said in reply to the person who wanted me to take down my London Tour 2019 video. But what do you care? You are a thorn bush, and I am calling out, "I want fruit! Produce lemons in keeping with peace!" But that's not who you are or what you do. Maybe my message isn't for you? It may very well be that it is impossible for you to repent of evil. I'm gonna leave it at that. People tend to log off when I reply :stuck_out_tongue: Here, this is for you: Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26). Now I'm done.

Me: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/google-and-censorship-though-search-engines "Many seek an audience with a king, but it is from The Lord that a man gets justice." (Proverbs 29:26). -- I tried to explain to an agnostic that stupidity is not a rational argument. I concluded: Guilt upon guilt is compounded as deceivers go from bad to worse, but therein is the love of God revealed, because forgiveness is available to you also in Jesus Christ. Repent of all evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder (and anger), adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly that comes from within the heart, and let God's Son, Jesus Christ, be your Righteousness and Salvation. Honestly, that is the only path forward, the only way anything will get better for you. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well; from now on, you do know him and have seen him." (John 14). If you genuinely want peace, wisdom, and goodness, you gotta have Jesus in your heart. -- http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=51256 Them: The title I tried to type: This other actually nice and active community you can join if this one is just too toxic for you.

Them: Quote: --- Original message by: il Duce Primo You sound like the stuck up assholes who made up modacity years ago. Goodluck to you I would make sure to trust this person's opinion on assholes since he's spent his entire life being one. Me: Well, let me set aside the interpersonal conflicts for a moment, and let us be reasonable. It is the interpersonal conflicts going unresolved that make any community "toxic" for reasonable and informative discourse. That is actually not to be blamed upon the individual, but instead of blaming the individual for being the kind of individual they are, which amounts to nothing, you have many other options for civil social progress. It may seem easier to ban (block) people in an attempt to stem a surge in unbearable verbal conflict. However, blocking access is simply blocking access. Nothing is actually fixed, so the problems follow the people around wherever they go, whether this "toxic" forum or your shiny new discord server. So problems must be solved properly. Going on vacation, the locational cure, only brings your storms along with you elsewhere. (Hence immigration of uneducated people bringing their primitive ways with them into a very deadly and serious clash with the population at their supposed "melting pot" destination.) The interpersonal storms follow you if you don't calm them first. "There is no peace for the wicked." People in general have the capacity for good or for evil, but what that really means is that they are either good or evil, not both. And good in this case does not mean perfectly good (neither perfect nor absolutely good like God is both perfect and absolutely good and unchanging) but they have the ability to store good things in their heart and bring good things forth from their heart, or to store evil things in their heart and bring evil things forth from their heart. Now the actions in themselves are of a nature, and that is what I have addressed, because "by their fruit you will recognize them; a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit -- every tree that does not bear good fruit will be pulled up by the roots and thrown into the fire". So it really is not cooperation that brings peace, but real internal peace within the individual (only available by having God's words of life within their heart, and as knowledge and faith) manifesting itself in kindness, justice, and righteousness, those three things God said he "exercises [...] on The Earth, because in these things I delight". Hence the point. If you are a toxic person inside, you will bring your toxicity with you wherever you go, until you get that fixed by The Spirit of God who knows your heart. If it's never fixed, it gets worse and worse like a cancer and nobody else wants to be around you because they can't stand the interpersonal conflicts that arise everywhere you go. Without real internal peace, division ensues, then destruction. "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand." (NIV) "A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse." (NLT) (Mark 3:24). The only problem that frustrates me so much is that I seem to be the only person here who knows that God is not my enemy, but my helper in times of need, conflict, and stress. That alone has been why I started mentioning God and God's words here in this community in the first place: he's the definitive solution to all problems. It's proven by the fruits of civilization including the existence of The Internet. You don't build a tool for communication when you aren't willing to listen to reason. Hospitals and schools are fundamental to society -- those institutions are Catholic (Christian) inventions. It is no accident that The USA has lasted while other non-Christian nations have not developed and are in perpetual civil war. Interpersonal division is necessary to maintain integrity. (Luke 12:49-53). But isn't this community in civil war? Mother Theresa is considered a peaceful person, yes? She said that "you gotta have Jesus in your heart". But the apostasy of atheistic humanism and the drive of socialist communism begins in the schoolroom class on evolutionary darwinism -- Darwin, that stooge of atheistic humanism who lived as an involute incapacitated by all kinds of crippling diseases and psychological disorders his entire life because one does not insult God and get away with it. But the kids are taught in school to choose Charles Darwin as their "god" and to discard with all facts and reality in light of that sadistic and murderous human's hypotheses and "theories" completely disconnected from all facts and reality and all the culmination of the human race's knowledge and God-breathed recorded words. Kind of a no-brain-er when one puts it this way, yes? Good luck being taught the truth in a classroom nowadays, as men embrace perversion and lies in their choosing corruption and deceit instead of truth and wisdom. I could go on, but my point is made. Each of you "is old enough to reject the wrong and choose the right". But have you? War is an escalation of interpersonal conflict. If you fix the interpersonal conflict properly, it never leads to anger, murder, and war. Hence Matthew 5:21-22 -- "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Hell." So here is what I propose to you: do you want to be like the IBM-created eugenicist Adolf Hitler who, through the socialist NAZI party spread fascist atheistic-humanist communism with the self-admitted relativist Mussolini to imprison, torture, and genocidally murder millions of people and cause World War 2, or do you want to be like the Catholic Mother Theresa, who, as a disciple (student) of Jesus Christ, worked to aid and educate the needy and poor, and played a pivotal role in ending World War 2 and preventing further world wars? Which kind of person would you describe as "toxic": Adolf Hitler or Mother Theresa? And from which will you learn and which will become your role model? Or put another way, if you are so comfortable with the status quo of folly and perversion, why are you complaining about the people who use this forum? Perhaps you don't actually like the fruits of your own doctrines. Perhaps it's time to get back to "in the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth". Just a suggestion... based upon facts and wisdom, not personal opinion or ephemeral feelings. Them: [...] Me: "Kindness is the golden chain with which society is bound together." -- Göthe There is also Justice and Righteousness. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Justice is the opposite of revenge. Righteousness is purity to God who alone is good. These are the things needed for success in any social group. "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom nor the strong man boast of his strength nor the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am The Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." So life is not about the smarts nor the abilities nor the possessions. It's about being a god -- a person like God. "I have said that you are gods" from Psalm 82. It is time to stop relying upon your own selves. You have not been successful on your own so far, so why not accept some good guidance, some good help? Open your eyes, uncover your ears, and soften your hearts, so that you might learn from God who alone is good, who created each one of us and put within each of us a conscience. "Reject the wrong and choose the right." "Love your neighbor as yourself; forgive each other from your heart." "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, so that, 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.'" (Mark 4:11-12). You want others to change, but are you unwilling to change? There is a saying, "When you remember how hard it is to change yourself, you begin to see what little chance one has of changing others." As the disciples said, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus replied, "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." "No one can come to me unless my Father draws them, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day." Understand this: Jesus Christ took on all mankind's problems -- past, present and future -- and healed and raised the dead and saved. He came down from Heaven to live as The Son of Man, God's definitive intercessor for mankind, so that whoever would accept God through him is spiritually reborn into truth and eternal life. "It is written, 'they will all be taught by God.' Whoever looks to the Father and learns from him comes to me. And whoever comes to me I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all he has given to me but raise them up during The Last Day. For my Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." You don't have to keep relying upon yourselves and your own wills and your own capacities. Know The Intercessor, The Savior of The World. Payment has been made in full for anyone who looks to God and learns from God through Jesus Christ. He said, "You judge by human standards. I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgments are correct, because I [do not seek to please myself but him who sent me / do not speak on my own but stand with him who sent me]." "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves. But whoever speaks on behalf of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." So this is what I still see here: you're all still relying upon yourselves, and speaking to gain honor for yourselves! Your goals then will only ever be flawed. Take the time -- make the investment in your life -- to accept The Lord Righteousness as your righteousness and salvation. Salvation means being kept safe from evil and death. And it's permanent: "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die -- he has crossed over from death to life." This is what I want for you. But it's not up to me, as he explained, it is up to God to draw you to himself "with faithful, loving kindness". "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." The Lord takes care of his own. Wherever they may be. You must gain knowledge, understanding, faith, belief, and thereby become permanently safe. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" People who did not have The Intercessor with them repeatedly backslid. They were repeat offenders, so-to-speak. Those who now have Immanuel (which means "God with us", God's Presence) are reminded that he said, "And surely I am with you always, even until the very end of the age [of mankind]." Them: [...] Me: @Dennis A person should do what they genuinely believe is best. But such evaluations take a bit of effort and thought (evaluation means consideration) and that's not the kind of situation that would make me feel good to feel the need to make.

Don't try to inject yourself into something in which you have only partial information. (Respecting people's opinion + offending people) / 2 ≠ "love your neighbor as yourself" Somewhere in the equation you have to fit kindness and empathy to meet the golden rule of "do to others what you would have them do to you", otherwise it all might as well descend into mass murder -- after all, if we all start condemning each other, who is to say where it should stop? Mussolini said it should stop with him because he had the biggest guns -- but if you know anything about the afterlife, it would be a probable guess that Mussolini is now dead and burning in Hell for the consequences of his actions. Or are we to agree with the war cry of muslims and islam, and believe that by murdering the most number of educated white people (read: Christians) one can earn their way into Heaven and be sexually entertained by 72 virgins? Is not such a ridiculous lie? Is not such a war cry against civilization? Is not such actually wrong? If it is wrong, then what is right? Mussolini did not care what was right, which is why he subscribed to Relativism. On the other hand, people who listen to the only true God and his only son are taught by God what is right -- and they adhere to his words and gain eternal life because of him. Quote: --- Original message by: Dennis Quote: --- Original message by: HandofGod The last sentence was really unnecessary. But the rest of it is your opinion, so I guess people should respect that. was banned...threats of violence...all the mass shootings...you have to take these things seriously...do not engage. If you are taking these things seriously, and you were not personally involved in several "mass shootings", then that means you are taking seriously reports by one or more people who have reported such things. Look around. "For where is the wrath of the oppressor?" Why should one be concerned with that which they cannot do anything about themselves? My conclusion has been to ignore the news, because the world will end with or without my input. But I take God's words seriously, and that is why I have insight and wisdom. And one command is to "love your neighbor as yourself", which, when obeyed, means you "forgive" and "do not murder". Maybe then it is time to inject more of what I know into this about which I have an excess of meaningful information -- unlike news reporters who merely as quickly as possible regurgitate what the CIA or wikileaks tells them without bothering to consider the psychological effects of bringing war into the living room. So do you want to know about and talk about and spread information about evil war which you cannot affect, or would you rather know about and talk about and spread information about good compassion which you can exhibit? "The good man brings good things *out of the good stored in his heart* and the evil man brings evil things *out of the evil stored in his heart*. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." The decision seems simple to me. Believe me, I've had my fair share of seeing people be murdered and beaten, and I've seen my fair share of people's heads being blown off. Surely right now I could link you to a video that would become a red pill that you and others -- even in your older age -- would probably regret having watched because of the resultant nightmares it would give you. But these are scars, not edifying examples. Why seek justice in psychological warfare when you can seek justice from The Creator? You're going to trust the police then? Let's escalate that a little further. Maybe you want to write to the president. Maybe you want the military involved, maybe there should be a war against mass shootings. Understand this: "Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from The Lord that one gets justice." (Proverbs 29:26). You said you take mass shootings seriously, so then seriously think, what will a police officer do with that person? They will go to their residence, knock on their door, and ask them if they are a danger to themselves or to others. They might then call the local church minister who is on-call and the officer's partner would stay while the minister comes and probably does a terrible job trying to empathize with the person. Or we can cut to the chase and I can advocate for empathy and loving your neighbor as yourself. That seems more economical than you taking the time to report their IP to their local police "for follow-up" -- but there is no follow-up if there has not yet been any effort at exercising real justice. And real justice, as I said earlier, means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. So I will either work for justice for everyone here, or I will leave. After all, you will either accept my opinion or you will try to silence me. Internet Censorship: 1, Net Neutrality: 0. https://www.fightforthefuture.org/ https://i.imgur.com/pl796dy.png What a stupid slogan. Why don't they just keep their opinions to themselves?! Should people forget all reasons for civility, and instead simply snitch and litigate, betray and hate, and be afraid of each other? Congrats, you reported them to the police. I'm sure the police have their hands full with many other would-be murderers. All you've done is offloaded the burden without lifting a finger to bring good to the situation. Feel good about yourself. Much kudos. Meanwhile, The Lord Righteousness, Savior of the World, who gave his own life to save murderers, said, "My Father is always at his work, even to this very day, and I am also working." He is the one who "led justice to victory; in his name the nations will put their hope". So while you are relying upon mortal men to clean up the mess you push over to them, I am citing historical REASON for laws so that maybe -- just maybe -- people who use this thing you maintain might be able to see reason and choose to do what is right (in their own lives and on this forum) rather than offload their own problems onto others like your example. Sorry if I am offending you, but I defend what is right regardless of the self-righteousness in the mind of the observer or the self-esteem in their heart. Such is discipline. Discipline or death. Quote: --- Original message by: Dennis Don't try to inject yourself... Why should you try to silence me? Jesus replied, "If I said something wrong, testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" (John 18:23). I said it years ago and you did not listen: If this place is found lacking, it will surely end. How can we ignore anger and interpersonal conflicts and expect a thriving community with many halo maps and much camaraderie and fun and collaboration and sharing? You have been unjustly selective of what information you are willing to have people share -- even at times like this when it is the main premise of the topic that addresses the rot at the core of the apple. Nobody wants to bite into this apple anymore, because they see it is rotten. That's why they're looking elsewhere and making their own social avenues so that they can see what it's like to be a community manager. Surely you will point the finger and say you did nothing wrong, but if you are willing to cast blame, then show us how it should be done. Or if things are so copacetic with the forum management, then why does this thread have to exist and why do I have to say anything about interpersonal conflict? If you've done such a wonderful job as an example to others and at managing this web site and its forum, even as to not need to dedicate much time to it because it practically runs itself, why all the complaints in this thread by people who exhibit interpersonal conflict? Shall I continue or has the dawn of reason risen on the minds of the readers? Something is wrong, and we collectively have testified as to what is wrong, as God and Jesus Christ commanded for real justice. Will you accept betterment?

Great forum management work there, naming and shaming and rejecting people... but I will say this one more thing: I quote God because God does not "have only partial information".

Quote: Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But he who stands firm to the end will be kept safe. So I help with a simple solution. Soften your heart. Dulling your senses does not make you safe, but ignorant. (Is it safe to walk around with your eyes closed? Neither is it safe to communicate before considering the nature of the one with whom you are communicating.) Which is safer: a loving and nurturing environment or a cold void of bitterness, hatred, anger, and strife? Is it safer for your wellbeing in outer space or with your loving parents? So then why feel pain, become defensive, harden your heart, and retreat into the cold, dull, lifeless void of apathy? Isn't it better to love and understand through consideration and empathy and thus have your eyes open to make an informed statement? God's love is infinite, and he is most patient. Surely his words are worth considering then. Quote: Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown. One last thing. This is what anyone can clearly see who visits this forum: - The forum owner points the finger at the community, implicitly blaming them for causing their own problems by the content of their messages, and bans people who show emotional disturbance and say the wrong thing. - The community blames the forum owner for not being active enough and not giving them new things, and badmouth him and his work to his face and behind his back, thus being dishonorable ingrates. - The community attacks each other openly and behind each other's backs. - I come along and see this and quote God who said, "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined." I proceed to point to the solution. The forum owner refuses to accept that there is a problem and the community refuses to change their ways, both refuse to listen to God who alone is good, and both proceed to reject, insult, mock, ridicule, and try to hurt me in every way they can indefinitely without any end to their hatred in sight. Tell me again how this community is not divided, and how Jesus Christ's words are irrelevant and unhelpful, and how stupid I am for mentioning God in this godforsaken place. GO AHEAD AND TELL ME.

An injustice system favors lying police puppet accusers and every perpetrator will suffer ten times the demanded affliction towards each victim. Forgive them so you do not have a share in their guilt. A corrupt court grows corrupt police. The unbelievers, the vile, the idolaters, and all liars will have no inheritance. "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars -- they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." (Revelation 21:8). Those who delight in unjust affliction are rewarded with just affliction. "For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone," declares the Sovereign Lord. "Repent and live!" (Ezekiel 18:32). "Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras. Have I not kept this in reserve and sealed it in my vaults? It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." (Deuteronomy 32:33-35). "I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols." (Jeremiah 16:18). "I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds." (Revelation 2:23). "Very soon I will pour out my wrath upon you and vent my anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and punish you for all your abominations. I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, The Lord, who strikes the blow. Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed. Their violence has grown into a rod to punish their wickedness. None of them will remain: none of their multitude, none of their wealth, and nothing of value." (Ezekiel 7:8-11). "Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are sinful deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands." (Isaiah 59:6). "As a well gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before me." (Jeremiah 6:7). And He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!" (Ezekiel 8:17). For this is what The Lord God says: "Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing my people," declares The Lord God. (Ezekiel 45:9). "Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on The Day of The Lord's Wrath. The whole Earth will be consumed by the fire of his Jealousy."

For the future, I implore you to praise Jesus Christ and honor him as a shield over your heart by accepting him as your Righteousness and Salvation. Look after your neighbor. Do not live by your own righteousness as a slave to sin, but believe in Jesus Christ who is the Absolute Best, and who has placed himself to separate death from those who belong to him. Because Jesus Christ lives, we live, so let us ask Jesus Christ to handle our problems for us, because "Jesus" means "God Saves", and he is always willing to help us with anything. -- The Lord compelled me to proclaim The Good News and to preach.

August 21, 2019, 5:08 PM EST Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens The Risen Christ is Lord Almighty. I believe. This plain text document is now static. -- Epilogue: When God created the heavens and the earth, he dwelled with man -- not constantly, but occasionally not being visible to him -- and when man did not trust God, God made his presence known again in sound, at which point man hid, and then after God called out to the man and the man responded, in sight... Man foolishly chose to not trust God, at which point man became enslaved to folly. God gave the man clothing and sent man out of the garden. Man's situation became worse, even though he called on The Lord. Man got so bad constantly that God destroyed the world with water, keeping only one small family and one pair of each kind of air-breathing creature alive. Man could no longer live hundreds of years, but only up to about 120 years. God gave commands to man so that man would live and not die -- so that man would not be destroyed. And God promised to not destroy the entire world again with floodwaters, even though every inclination of men's hearts was evil. People still did not want to listen to God, so they chose to try to replace giving God attention with giving their own crafted inanimate objects attention, and they did this many times and called their carvings "gods". Eventually, God set apart a certain family lineage of people (the Jews) as the lineage through which the truth would be made known to man again. The Jews were even more rebellious and stubborn than all the suffering pagan (non-believing) people around them. They were stubborn and rebellious because God kept trying to discipline and refine them into something worthwhile, but they still wanted the evil of the pagans around them. So God spoke to them through many individuals over a period of about a thousand years. God was patient in waiting for them to learn. Some did learn and were able to live. Others did not learn and were destroyed. Salvation -- Jesus Christ -- came through The Jews. Jesus Christ fulfilled everything written about him by the prophets in the scriptures and rescued all who could be rescued from death. God gave Jesus Christ, his only begotten son who he loved before the creation of the world, because he loved the entire world so much. God took all the punishments and suffering of mankind and placed them upon Jesus Christ to suffer much and die, only to rise back to life, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but live forever. True religion is worshiping The Father (God) in Spirit and Truth -- in God's words as Jesus Christ explained. False religion is idolatry -- worship of anything else other than the only true God through Jesus Christ his only begotten son. God continued to speak through people, and everyone who listens to Jesus Christ's words -- God's words -- lives forever because he, Life Himself, and The God of Life, lives within that individual. "I in them and you in me," Jesus Christ prayed to The Father. Not everyone is given knowledge and not everyone is given understanding. "I tell you the truth, unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter The Kingdom of Heaven." "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. All things have been committed to me by The Father. No one knows The Son except The Father, and no one knows The Father except The Son and those to whom The Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Through Jesus Christ, God frees man from slavery to sin and death. "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die -- he has crossed over from death to life." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." Many have spoken and written by The Holy Spirit, calling people to repent of evil and turn their attention to God and love God, so that they might learn from God and live forever. "Whoever looks to The Father and learns from him comes to me -- and whoever comes to me I will never turn away..." but "no one can come to me unless my Father brings them, and then I will raise them up during The Last Day." I am one who has learned from Jesus Christ. I have shared and man has not listened. Therefore, I leave man to his fate -- I delight to exercise mercy, justice, and righteousness, but man does not really accept until he wants. So he cannot accept knowledge, truth, wisdom, or anything good until he either softens his heart to be appreciative or shows God that he wants to listen to Jesus Christ, and even then, "many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not heart it," so again, God is in control. ...and only God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The only safety is with God's Saving Presence, because God alone is good, and The Father is in The Son and The Son is in The Father, and The Son's words keep you safe when they -- he, God's Living Word -- is within you, and when you remain in trusting faith in him, and then you can ask God whatever you want in Jesus Christ's name and The Father will do it for you. Then "your joy will be complete". "...because, I tell you the truth, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in The Name of The Lord.'" I gave them praise for God, so they could not understand what I was saying. I gave them love for God, so they could not understand what I was doing. I gave them wisdom, so they overlooked it. I gave them insights, so they did not bother to read it. I gave them good, so they were incapable of acknowledging it. Why? Because they reject God's Presence, God who alone is good. How can they accept and reject at the same time? But if they accept my words, will they get credit? For it was out of my heart, not theirs, that God's words came. "Whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever accepts a righteous man for the fact of him being righteous will receive a righteous man's reward [...] and if anyone gives one of these little children a cup of cold water because the child is my student, he will certainly not lose his reward." I repeated myself, rewording and using new parables and new life experience examples and telling and writing what I saw and heard myself, but these ungrateful, ignorant, worthless people cannot receive good. They delight in only evil. Does God will to keep them safe from the consequences of their delight? "But whoever is forgiven little loves little." What disgusting, treacherous, grotesque, lifeless clumps of dust people are. "...because dust you are, and to dust you will return." One who does not listen to God's Son Jesus Christ does not deserve to live. Man watches each other, waiting to see if their fellow man will ever learn. But what does it matter to man if their fellow man lives or dies? The reward is selfish -- because man was so hard-hearted, so cold-hearted, not loving his neighbor, that God had to command, "Love your neighbor as if they were you," and thus evaporate any possible credit man might have gained for his own good behavior. This is why a person can only live with honor through Jesus Christ being their righteousness and safety. There is no possible credit for man -- no value in man's existence -- except this that is God's plan: to believe in Jesus Christ. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Man plays in the sandbox and entertains his imagination, only becoming increasingly mentally depraved and deluded. All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. Amen! Truth or death! "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Amen! Truth will save! Truth sets man free! Listen to Jesus Christ! -- Waiting for someone else to do the right thing is a waste of time. Do it yourself. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." A righteous person is the asset of Justice; The Lord Righteousness led Justice to victory. In his name, the nations put their hope. A righteous person is like his teacher. Whoever believes has eternal life and speaks and acts from The God of Life. God feels man's pain. "Well do I know your suffering." "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads. [In your stubborn struggle to reject my guidance, you are fruitlessly harming yourself!]" -- I thought about every person I have met in my lifetime. I could never converse with one. Of the tens of thousands of people I have met throughout my entire lifetime, not one could I ever converse with. I'm 33 and I've never once been able to have a conversation. Every time I have opened my mouth to speak to someone, it has been on their level. Not once has anyone opened their mouths to me and spoken on my level. The tragic nature of this is setting in on me. I will probably go throughout my entire lifetime and never have a conversation. Way to go, human race. -- Master? Friend? Enough then relieve me. The burden is worthless. I waste time on people. They cannot fathom. Majesty, your glory is consuming. I am enthralled by your defining compassion. I have overdosed on your words, yet I cannot get enough. My mind fails but I want more. The words bypass my consciousness, but I recite them all the time. There is no place for me, yet I suffer this. Will you heal me? You know what I gave up for you. None compared! Majesty, hallowed is your name. You help me. I have been persistently stubborn and I hate myself. Thank you for listening even while you know. Thank you for helping me, even while I can't take any more. Thank you for understanding and for being greater than all. I'm so so so tired! Brighter than all the stars combined! More patient and bearing than the test of time! I adore your brilliance; I marvel at your control; I hurts, Heavenly Father, but you understand, Jesus. Please do not cast me away even though I disgrace. You are my love, my heart ~ I was never worth your time or consideration. Forever my superior, forever I'm tragically inferior; in every way Weakness consumes me. You do not change. Perfect Son of God, I ask one more thing ~ my third wish. To remain in your favor forever. Now these are my three wishes: for your Name to be praised forever; to be crushed under your feet; and to remain in your favor with you forever, as you very well fully understand. May your Name be praised forever ~ reduce me to dust, because you and your will is my reward. Nothing will overthrow your plan! Greatest One, Mighty One, Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, I submit to you; take what you will and discard what displeases your Majesty, dearest Creator, Heavenly Father. I will never be worthy; Purity, your plan is the only way ~ my life... Lord, I already believe, so what is there for me besides the garbage waste of time this mind imagines and this heart pours forth in your sight? Oh, I hate myself! Even all this has lost its meaning ~ even The Accuser stops accusing, bewildered by my self-loathing. Heavenly Father, do you love me? Then I am left with nothing ~ your love and plan is all, yet can I do nothing?! "I have loved you with an everlasting love -- I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness." Do I belong to you? "Yes." I can't do anything; I am so weary, God who alone is Good, and there is no joy for me. No path, no friend ~ no plan, no consideration, no life, no goal, no success, no progress. All of this you have repossessed for yourself to show me your will. Why be patient with me? What is accomplished? I am dust, all I conceive will fail, all my plans will vanish suddenly, and where will be the works of my mind and hands?! Gone forever! All riddance! To dust with it all! Only your words, your acts, will last. Your plans succeed. You define and work. I am a tragic waste of your time. There is nothing for me besides your words. I drink and drink and cannot drink more. Crush me, Jesus, my will is manyfold ruined and gone; I held a shadow of it. Go ahead, let them mock me and laugh at me. So what? What is over my heart?! My shield! You are my Righteousness and my Salvation! Let them come fight against me! Come! Here I am! Sling your rocks and throw your spears and shoot your arrows right at me! See my angel cast them aside before me. But Lord, I am nothing, and I refuse consolation. I am less than dust. Even they can please you and bring you joy. I am silent. Nobody will listen, and you are the only one with ears open to me. What have I done, Great God, because I am trash, so salvage what you want and burn the rest. -- Jesus Christ, I am impatient! Grant my enemies Justice! Save or uproot! Is time my friend? Do you work over time what you could accomplish instantly? Or am I simply so insulting to you that you drag out my education and buffet me with evildoers to enhance my reward? I'm tired of communicating. Be with me as I am silent. I only wanted Justice. All I wanted in my joy was to administer true Justice to others. In my grief, I still know joy, but it is hidden from me as if I did not have it, as if it did not want me. Has joy disowned me, distanced itself from me forever, or has it become buried to be uncovered by you at the end? I no longer want Joy and I no longer want Justice. I care not anymore; if I am attacked, I will destroy my attacker or die. If I am insulted, I will ignore or shame. I will be without harm or I will see blood. So dispose of me. Your commands are life, but if you will not save my enemies, why should I love them? For my own credit, to say that I can withhold my hand from meting out punishment to multiplying devils -- is inactive laziness a virtue, will I be rewarded for sitting idly by as weeds multiply on your footstool like a growing cancerous tumor? Where is the immune system, the antibodies? Haven't you given your sheep access to your absolute power in service of you? How are you pleased, dearest Holy Spirit, in the multiplication of your enemies who lack reason, comprehension, and well-being? They are like zombies in their pained groaning, a people of living dead, walking around as decayed corpses filled with void -- lacking you. I am impatient for you to give them life or return them to dust. I vomit at the thought of their decay. But you watch them keep getting worse -- going from bad to worse. Their consciences are buried under layers of cobwebs -- your mail has stopped going through, so you stopped sending it. Yet they wonder why they have not heard from you in such a long time! Grant them the justice they crave: discipline or death, true safety or true dust! Mete out Justice, Greatest King, because you have already led Justice to Victory, now pierce them with your blinding light, burn away their impurities, scrub them with your words, and dress them in your faithfulness, and feed them with your sustaining body and blood! -- General Vagueness: I've been where you are, and with less to show for it I was just feeling great that I've written 5 KLOC, but you're still way beyond that, and you're going to give it away, I couldn't do that right off the bat but yeah it feels hollow without someone to share it with Me: I guess I'll just close it then. There was already one winner (they took several guesses and I gave hints, but I think they still deserve some credit) and the answer to the question, "What is the opposite of arrogance" -- ah wait, now I can't answer it because I put it on the application form. *sigh* Am I shooting myself in the foot here? Anyway, move along. Have a nice day / week / month / etc. I've been doing some non-Halo-related scripting things that I can talk about if you're interested. I've been writing scripts using AutoItScript. Fun! 5 KLOC means 5 thousand lines of code? that's like hello world Also, "at least that lets me know you were joking" I was not joking. Anyone who touts that perpetual motion is impossible doesn't know that the Earth is in perpetual motion around the Sun. That's why I tried not to laugh. General Vagueness: I meant the rest of it and a perpetual motion machine isn't about perpetual motion so much as it's about infinite energy also thanks for saying my huge project is like Hello World NikkoJT: I really wouldn't bother engaging with this guy Me: Yeah don't talk to me, dunce. "Scientists claim perpetual motion and infinite energy are impossible, and all the while, they are standing on The Earth which is revolving in perpetual motion around The Sun, which has many times more than enough energy to sustain all life on earth until the end of time. Therefore, I propose that the first book every scientist should read is The Holy Bible. Otherwise, they are only claiming to be ignorant fools and should keep their mouths shut. So how about that untaxable free infinite energy and about those perpetual motion machines which would have been brought forth to the public had we not entertained deluded idiots all this time?" You keep playing in the sandbox with all your kid friends while the adults talk about logical things. You wouldn't understand, child. So don't engage with me. Feel good about yourself, little child, because that's all you want anyway. Let the disciplined adults talk about what is possible. You keep playing with the toys they give you like a good little child. Just don't hurt yourself and play nice with the other kids. General Vagueness: wow you're really rude Me: A mind that is not open to possibilities is wasted. You dreamed of a program and worked on one. Were you insulted for your dreams and your work? I work on things and share what I know is possible. Am I then to be insulted for my dreams and my work? Maybe I'm not rude, but simply telling the truth. These are mostly kids, yes? And they demand work from my hands -- things I said I dream about and work towards giving them -- and for free! Then I am to be insulted yes? So I give them toys and they are rude to me. So I say fine, you go play with the toys I give you. So you see, maybe I am not being rude, but telling the truth. So instead of dreaming big and learning what is possible and being willing to talk like adults, they would rather "not engage" with me. So yeah, don't talk with me, dunce. Go play with the toys you have which others who do dream big and learn what is possible have made for you. Place. Your. Hand. Over. Your. Mouth. General Vagueness: me? Me: I was addressing NikkoJT as the dunce, and you as someone who should understand what I'm saying. But as far as work, I consider anything less than 1 million lines of code to be inconsequential. But I don't get to work with other people, so for me, 20k is a bit of effort. But I do other things -- my text file here is plenty lengthy, like 300k words or whatever, the size of a book, and that's with some of it encoded into what is calculated as one or two words -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ Y'all have no concept of what I do and the extents of my work. That I share it is not for my benefit or to gain some kind of clout but for your benefit. But then why do I get insulted so much by y'all if I share hard work, some of my life's work with you for free, for your benefit? Seems ungrateful to me. So I help and share for free and in return, instead of money or even gratitude, I get --- here it is, insults and an unwillingness to even "associate" with me. That's some excellent demonstration of ingratitude, my friends. Keep up the great work. Just pray that you are not treated the way you treat me if you ever produce something worth sharing. Oh wait-- I forgot, you don't believe in "god"! So then I guess there's no hope for you then, you'll be treated exactly as you treated me. Oh well. Have fun with that! I guess the saying stands, "if you can't take it, don't dish it out!" Or is it, "Don't dish it out if you can't take it" But that's said in retrospect. I'm saying in prespect. General Vagueness: dude you should calm down Me: Fine, but all I did was turn to the next page in the book, lol. Anyone can turn the page, it's an exciting story! General Vagueness: you are so angry why? Me: I'm actually laughing right now. Have you ever seen someone angry and laughing hard at the same time? General Vagueness: yeah Me: LOL It doesn't happen though. General Vagueness: you seem disgusted Me: I'm actually about to go, good day to you. -- "Unless you humble yourselves like little children, you will never enter The Kingdom of Heaven." -- ------------------------------------- -- The Empire of Galactic Vergence -- -- galaxyverge.com -- -- Application Exam -- ------------------------------------- 1.

I'm confused; how can I understand? How can I always comprehend everything? Can I ever not need to wonder or ask questions? Can I ever feel self-sufficient? How can I do anything and everything well? How can I get credit for what I do and feel good about myself without being incorrect? How can I be whole? How can I always be right and always do what's right?

Would you therefore insult the preacher or the church? Would you therefore wander around aimlessly when someone has already come up to you, stood next to you, and turned you to face the right direction where they were pointing, to show you where your Counselor is found? Or would you insult that person, or mock the man of little understanding who is wandering around? What do you gain by not helping? "He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!" Q: Who wrote this text file? How can I contact that person? Where does that person live? Can I donate money to keep this web site up? Is this copyrighted? I found an error and want it corrected. How many people contributed to this? How long did it take to write this? What is "galaxy verge" and "the empire of galactic vergence"? Did a "religious person" or a priest or a holy person write this text file? What kind of background does the author have? Can I share or print or publish this text file? Someone handed me a postcard with this web site's URL on the back -- what is this all about then? A: After my high school reunion, located in the town where I lived until second grade, some of us walked over to a restaurant. As we were walking and talking, I mentioned to one of my former classmates, whose boyfriend was also listening, that I used to have "a crush" on her in high school. She responded, "Aw, why didn't you say anything?" I said, "I'm not the kind of person who gets to have relationships." Q: Is it true that Jesus Christ was born March 20, 6 B.C., and that all actual dates since then, including my birthday, should be adjusted by +6 years, -3 months, -20 days (not considering leap year)? A: The person in question said, "Before Abraham was born, I am," and "It is not for you to know the times and dates that The Father has set by his own authority," and so it is not for me to answer this or any further questions, regardless of what I know and what is right and whether it would appear to matter were you or others to know what I know or the truth. So am I done testifying to the truth? "For this reason I was born and entered the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Q: I'm confused. What does God really think of humans? A: I submit to your consideration a combination of the end of Genesis 3:19 and the beginning of Luke 8:5. The good soil has love for God in its heart. Q: I don't believe in God. Should I believe in God, and can you give me any tangible good reason and tangible example of what happens when a person believes in God? I need a good human example from whom I can learn. A: What you have asked is exactly why a person turns their heart to God: to learn from the good example, to live the best life possible, to be the best person possible, to understand and have true and valid and substantial (what one might describe as usable or tangible) understanding and knowledge, and to have joy if possible, to get the best help, ...and in all this and in all else receive the best. Trust, faith (in God's reliability), and love for God, are all involved in understanding. Reason and logic and wisdom among other things are also all involved. The mind and heart and soul and will are feeble and weak, but God gently disciplines (refines) his students -- Jesus Christ is the only teacher, and the teacher and his words remain with the students to help them forever. Whether the student experiences physical problems, emotional problems, or any other kind of problem with their heart, mind, soul, will, or anything of physical or non-physical matter, The Lord and his words are unchanging and forever, and he said, "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." On account of himself, he welcomes you to himself. In other words, he puts the nature of God on the line (at risk, at stake, as interceding) as welcoming (drawing to himself), and said, "there is no greater love than this: that one lays down one's life for his friends. You are my friends if you obey my commands. My command is this: love each other as I have loved you." So you have no better friend in all of Existence than God and Jesus Christ. "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice." When you are part of his family, your whole life changes for the better. The Lamb of God is our tangible example, and his completed work is our good reason to put our trusting faith in him. But that is simply an introductory statement, the bare minimum of the vast wealth of tangible good reasons to listen to Jesus Christ and believe in God! If you want to learn, it must be from him, and "then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free". As a free person, how can I describe freedom to one who does not want to be enslaved anymore? It is more than you can imagine and better than you can envision, but the joy of discipline sets you apart for special purpose; to be drawn out of a world of darkness and taken to live in the light is both necessary for one's health and very revealing of one's decayed situation. But Jesus Christ is God's Living Mouth and Hand -- he is the caretaker, the one who God loves, the embodiment of God's faithful, loving kindness, and he wants people who are covered in messy grime and who are mortally ill because "it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick; but go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' because I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" and forgiveness of sins. God wants the dirty, social "rejects" who are filthy, because... again, I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. And his words sustain through all backsliding, trials, difficulties, tests, hardships, doubts, fear, strife, distractions, anxieties and desires for other things, because as soon as a person believes in Jesus Christ, that person "has eternal life and can no longer die -- he has crossed over from death to life." No matter what abuse a believer experiences, God reveals to the believer that Jesus Christ went through the same, and said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first." Q: I am a man of science and technology. This document is a useless waste of time to me. A: What machine combined dirt and air into the first living, breathing, intelligent, human? Show me the tools you can use to do that so that I can give you a round of applause, then be on my way and tell you behind my back that your words are a useless waste of time to me, all the while using air and time and other resources to, at every opportunity, to everyone who can perceive me, deny that you exist. Then I will turn to a little child and say, "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." So you, the fool, will be shamed until you realize that it is you, the fool, who are a useless waste of time to God's Living Word. Seed on the pavement! By resisting goodness, you become a useless waste of time! Who will soften your heart for you? Will punishment and strife open your eyes to your guilt? Is there hope for you to comprehend and receive eternal life? Complain, foolish man, because you will die and be forgotten! Let me hear the raging tantrum and shallow depression you suffer -- you fool who comprehends nothing and does not know God, who alone is good! Let me hear your screams of torment to match the screams of the tortured in Hell! Your voice is an annoying din; when you are swatted away and lie dead on the ground, would you like me to come stand over your corpse and mourn you? When your body is decaying, shall I show compassion and preach the good news to you? Your enslavement to arrogance has made you a useless waste of time to all logic, wisdom, reason, knowledge, comprehension, love, compassion, truth, validity, honor, and value. Because you lack faith, you have no hope. Flee my presence as you fled from the light of Truth, lest you enter the light and be shamed, see hope, soften your heart, "and I would heal them". Yours is a path of mindless hatred because you belong to The Devil, and God will end you swiftly, either with eternal safety or with eternal harm. Either way, you will be disregarded as a useless waste of time. But as soon as you repent of evil, reject the wrong and choose the right, and accept forgiveness in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the World, you suddenly show everyone that you are no longer a waste of time, because "whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." So then by believing in Jesus Christ, a person is, by God's measurement, worth eternity of God's Presence. After all, God does not make mistakes, unlike scientists and inventors who are like infants playing in the sandbox on his footstool. No combination of sand will gain you honor in God's sight, but instead, it is how you accept the words of the one whose feet are on the footstool, and how you play with others, which determines whether you are acceptable to God. Fortunately, the designer and sustainer of all has thousands of years ago sent his only son onto his footstool to teach and intercede on the behalf of all the infants, so that all the infants need to do is listen and believe through him. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. [It's permanent.] Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me; you can see from my only doing everything The Father does that The Father is in me and I am in The Father.]" If a man in himself does not know what peace is, how can he claim to bring peace to others? If a man does not harbor God (who alone is good) in himself, how can he claim to do good to others? If a man does not harbor in himself Jesus Christ, God's Living Word, by retaining in himself God's words, which lead to life, how can he claim to help the living? If a man does not have eternal life in himself, how can he show others how to live? If a man does not have eternal joy through God, how can he encourage others? His attempts will be like a passing breeze -- short-lived and worthless for sailing back to harbor. So one in whom The Father and Son find no harbor does not himself reach safe harbor. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice; righteousness, not burnt offerings." "There is no peace for the wicked." "Hypocrite, first take the moat out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Q: There is some kind of gibberish nonsense text on line 2806 of this document. Is that a mistake? A: I recently saw a video where the narrator mentioned that there was a pride of lions that rescued a baby girl from her abductors, chasing off the abductors and leading the child to safety. The narrator said that some people explained the miraculous event by saying that the lions were confused and made a mistake. I thought, let's have every human who thinks so go walk up to those lions and say to the lions, "You made a mistake by sparing human life." I'm sure the lions would be obliged to demonstrate for those people the correct behavior as the person has said to them. See? Easy remediation; even lions can listen. Those people would be glad they spoke out, feeling so capable at convincing even ferocious lions to listen to their wisdom -- they'll be so satisfied with themselves that they'll never speak again. Q: Bro, this shit's too long, you gots to talk my talk, Gee. A: Jesus, he knows dat speak, yo. Check this out, this be Matt 26, 31 to 35, homes: Jesus holla'd, "You gonna ditch me tonight, yo, just like they wrote 'Im gonna beat that shep nigga and his homies gonna bounce hard'. But after I get back up, I'm gonna go ahead, and we'll meet up in Galilee." Pete holla'd back, "Even if all the cats bail out, I ain't neva doin' dat shit, man." Jesus said, "It's legit, yo, this very night, before the mornin' rooster crows, you'll flake on me three times." Pete be like, "Even if I gotta die with you, I'll never bitch out." All his home boys said the same. But it happened just as Jesus told them. His besties bailed and he let himself get whacked to save everyone, then after three days, he got back up and went ahead of them and they met up with him in Galilee. That's what's up! All I'm sayin' is check that cat out, he's what's up! That dude knows the legit shit, yo! And all we gotta do is believe him! Q: This is some serious extremism. Aren't extremists like you a plague on society, and shouldn't we rid ourselves of extremism so we can have peace? A: Anything colder than freezing is too hot, anything hotter than boiling is too cold, anything worse than meaningless war is too good, and anything better than world peace is too evil. So it is those who wage war and those who wage peace, those who wage death and those who wage life, those who practice evil and those who practice good, and all those who breathe and live who are the extremists. That is why society tells us we must eliminate extremists: because that voice of society is itself extremist. But reason, logic, sound judgment, decency, wholesomeness, all value, all validity, and reality, one gets in God's Living Word, God's Only Son. He created the world, and so his enemies want to destroy the world. He created life, and so his enemies want to kill. He gives freely, and so his enemies want to steal. "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep] may have life, and have it to the fullest." (John 10:10). Extremism is normal and natural. The act of judging and condemning and labeling others as "extremist" is an act of extremism, because instead of looking at all the characteristics and qualities of an individual and forming a well-considering concluding opinion or perspective of them, it is to simply resort to the extreme, judgmental conclusion without complete consideration. Why did God, who knows everything, and who created every soul, command, "Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive," and "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts do not think evil of each other?" It is because Jesus Christ knows best. So when someone accuses another via judging and condemning and labeling them as extremist or as some other disparaging label, without themselves being God, "who seeks [glory for himself], and [...] is the judge," then the accuser (and remember that "Satan" means "accuser") is really saying "you do things [and I hate you and I am God] and that makes you a bad person," which is basically an example of the definition of hypocrisy and confusion due to lack of knowing God's Living Discipline from whom a person receives discernment and grace. So it is the accursed who accuse and are condemned by their own hypocritical judging. God is an extremist. Jesus Christ is an extremist. "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:15-16). God wishes you were an extremist -- The Mighty One said of Jesus Christ who is The Absolute Truth, "This is my son who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" (Mark 9:7, etc.). "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart, because out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45). Q: Global Warming! The end is near! Panic! A: Didn't Jesus Christ warn not to go chasing after people who are claiming to be him and claiming that the end is near? Didn't Jesus Christ tell us everything ahead of time, saying, "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away."? The foofaraw of Global Warming and Climate Change is a political scheme to deceive the atheistic (perverse and mentally depraved) public into yet another brainwashed hypnotic trance of falsehood with the explicit goal of forcibly stealing every nation's money through global taxation, using ungodly (anti-God, libelous [that means deceiving humans into thinking God is foolish and humans are evil for breathing]) shame smearing of God and the human race, and unfaithful fear mongering. Take a step back and think with me a moment. In Revelations, it is prophesied that the saints praise The Lord on The Last Day, saying that The Lamb is finally bringing judgment upon "those who destroy the earth". Who are those who destroy the earth? Those who destroy the earth are those who pollute "the springs of water" with raw (unfiltered) industrial waste (ocean dumping and water fluoridation are two commonplace examples of water pollution) and those who manipulate the public to ignore God's freely-given wisdom and betray humanity and hate and murder each other in world wars that "the globalist" mafia families have used to destroy our grandparents and our parents and now us, and if we don't stop them they will also do to our children*, to destroy, divide, and conquer the nations of every language, so that they might impose fascist, forceful control through their United Nations puppet organization. The nations were never intended to be united -- God was clear by dividing men into languages at The Tower of Babel, and later by what Jesus fulfilled as even every household being divided. The reason for division, which is necessary, is to get each person to turn their heart to God and Jesus Christ, who alone is trustworthy. Do not be deceived by the disproved public narratives perpetuated by those who hate knowledge of the truth. A mind inadherent to integrity is enslaved to evil folly. Greenhouse gasses are good for life on Earth. Carbon dioxide is a very, very tiny fraction of atmospheric greenhouse gasses. "Global Warming" is therefore foofaraw. Ah, yes, those who are not led by God are so easily led astray with lies and fear, and so easily enslaved by every evil that comes from men's hearts and makes them 'unclean'. Such a shame that people would rather believe obvious lies, even as they spend a fortune on false education perpetuating their wickedness. I guess they feel somehow empowered by enslaving the masses and their fellow man to their madness. Nothing new here, because this was foretold thousands of years ago to happen at this time. Such a shame that people love darkness instead of light because their deeds are evil. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." OK you may now go back to your madness. Have a lovely day. And remember, greenhouse gasses like water vapor are your friend -- without them, there would be no life on Earth. Don't let people enslaved to folly and greed tax you for that. 'Kay? My grandfather used to say, "If it could, the government would put a meter on your nose and tax you for the air you breathe." I wonder if he knew that several decades later, they would try to do just that by perpetuating the lie of Global Warming and man-made Climate Change, so that everyone could be taxed for being alive. But I guess mass hysteria is hysterically funny until you are forcibly required to pay some foreign armchair legislator crackpot your existence tax. What's that? You don't want to pay your existence tax? Well then they are morally obligated to kill you in the name of saving the planet. Am I really the only person intelligent enough to read what God has had written thousands of years ago in his name, and to know the difference between obvious reasonable logic and complete madness? How can people be this stupid, that not even legal experts are willing to listen to scientists who dedicate their lives to the field of climatology? "Fill The Earth and subdue it," God said. That means *procreation*, *science*, and *industrial development*, three things of which it seems nobody thinks highly anymore. Foolish anti-Christ, devil-worshipping, anti-human, anti-life, pro-extinction, death-cult-popularizing public narratives! How can people be this stupid? Oh that's right, they don't believe in "god", so hey, I guess mental depravity is exactly what God wants for the heart that delights in the evil of folly! "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure." Or you can just not believe the truth because you don't want to believe the truth. Scientists call that "preconceived disbelief" or "preconceived notion", basically politically-incentivized trying to get intelligent people to tell you what you want to hear, and when they refuse, bribing them, or simply publicly lying to everyone about what they said. Ever hear of "fake news"? And in part, Jesus Christ explained it to the world as "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." So what am I saying besides, "If you don't humble yourself and listen to Jesus Christ, even though you don't feel like it, you're absolutely, irrefutably doomed"? Isn't that what it all comes down to -- the love, work, and words of God and The Lamb? "Who can speak and have it happen unless The Lord has first decreed it? Is it not from The Mouth of The Lord that both good things and calamities come? Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?" * Because history repeats itself. Count vith me! A-vorld var a-von, a-vorld var a-two, a-vorld var a-... Isn't noticing patterns a sign of intelligence? Doesn't anybody care about their own suffering? Why do we even have laws if nobody cares about what is right? But the legal system has become an arm of evil malice; how despicable and undeserving of compliance. No wonder people get angry so easily! Everyone is out to kill them and take all their possessions, leaving their children without any inheritance! How can people be this stupid? And why is God letting this happen? "It is because they are unfaithful to me," says The Lord. Q: God doesn't do anything, he just lets people get killed and lets evil spread like a plague on the whole world. This is a complete waste of time, so tell me why I should care. Really. A: Dear Great Britain, What to do? Once upon a time, there was a young boy. He lived and he observed and saw and listened. He learned from his parents and generally obeyed them. He had an older sister who did not let him talk much, so he learned to be quiet. In first grade, his schoolteacher expected perfect handwriting, so he learned perfectionism. When he was six, his mother handed him a trumpet, so he spent the rest of his life playing the trumpet. And he grew up praying and knowing The Lord. When the young boy went to church, he talked to the kids his age about something he learned from God that morning. His peers looked at him funny and he saw they did not understand, so he did not talk to them. And so it was, that the young boy became something of a legend and a leader among his peers, wherever he went. In high school, his band director saw his potential and encouraged him to speak more, because he was always so very quiet, always listening, thinking, and considering what he would say before he said it, because that is what he learned from The Lord. He would play with the kids in the neighborhood, but a little later, he would only gravitate towards the company of adults. He became so well-known in the land, receiving so many awards for his work and skill, but he was never swayed by arrogance, only ever on the listening side of discipline. He learned enthusiasm from his schoolteachers, but he always wanted to know why -- he needed meaning and reason. He received extensive scholarships to a world-renowned school, where he studied for bachelors and masters degrees, and he learned more about human nature and was highly regarded by his esteemed professors. The young boy was becoming a man. After his scholastic studies, he pursued many ideas he had devised, but The Lord took him aside and taught him many important things for years. So not only did the young man receive an education from men, but he also received education from God. The boy delighted in being taught by God so much that he could not help but try to share with others some of what he was learning. To put it mildly, and briefly, that did not work out well. So the young man resorted to collecting what he could of the things he could remember and from his scattered notes, and he put them all in one place for anyone who cared to see. The young man saw that people around him were suffering, but he also came to learn that communication has only three purposes, and that otherwise it was pointless. Into this young man many have invested. Yet the young man knows what others are not yet willing to accept, and sees and hears and understands what The Lord has granted him to understand. And even though he has wanted to share his food with the hungry, and tell people exactly what they need to hear, he has only ever been met with human rejection when he does this for them. He is not one of them. That boy is me. And when I say exactly what needs to be done, I see no man who cares to listen. This is what is happening in the UK: there were three people left in a country, one a leader, one a young girl, and one an elderly man. The leader said, "we need more people," so the leader opened the doors and in came one person. The new person was a bad person, and saw the little girl and raped her. As he was raping her, the elderly man complained to the one leader. The one leader was a cowardly narcissist and did not care about the little girl but instead tried to defend their decision to open the doors. Meanwhile, the little girl was being raped. The elderly man did not care about what the leader was saying, so the leader had the elderly man fined and jailed. Meanwhile, his little girl was being raped. When the elderly man was finally out of jail, he saw that there were now five more people in the country, and they were all now raping his little girl. The elderly man could not defend her all by himself, so he shouted out loud to God and to men, "Why won't anyone do anything about this? Grant me justice against my adversary, Dear Lord!" The Lord looked down at the country and at the elderly man and at the little girl being raped by the six people who were not there before, and at the one leader. And this is what The Lord said: "..." And when The Lord said it, the elderly man wept, the little girl being raped wept, the six rapists laughed, and the one leader scoffed. And the elderly man, not wanting to hear what God said, sought The Lord again for another answer. And this is what The Lord said: "..." And when The Lord said it, he took a stranger from a distant land and had that stranger write and tell the elderly man exactly what The Lord was saying, because the elderly man did not understand what was being said. And meanwhile, the six men continued raping the little girl, and even more men were flooding into the country, where they saw that there was a little girl who they could very easily rape. So now it was 12 men who were raping the little girl, then 20 men raping the little girl, then 40, 50, and eventually over 100 men raping this one little girl all day and night, beating her and abusing her in many evil ways. The elderly man said, "Why won't anyone do anything about this?" And eventually, the elderly man turned away from The Lord and no longer even claimed to believe in God. The man from the distant land wrote to the elderly man, because he saw this and knew that the elderly man still had not heard what The Lord had said the first time, and what The Lord had said the second time, because The Lord does not speak secretly, but only that his eternal words should bring good that lasts forever. And what did the man say that The Lord was saying? The man from the distant land is the little boy. Are you then a man who cares to listen? Are you one who clamors for others to do something yet you cannot see what should be done? Are you one who relies upon his own ideas and makes all kinds of mistakes all day long and cannot help himself or another? Yet no one says to me, "Sir, tell me what I must do and what should be done." Instead, everyone is either the one leader, the elderly man, the little girl who is yet still being raped, or one of the evil rapists. This is why I say that communication is pointless. God has no trouble communicating, so why should I echo to you what he is saying if you didn't hear what God is communicating to you? "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." This is why you are confused and only ever shouting out, "Why doesn't anybody do something?" when you face hardship. Why rely on men when you can rely on God? Sincerely, GXV Q: I never know what to do. I am also terrible at talking. What can I do? A: Dear People of The United Kingdom: I do not know any of you. I see your messages on social media. Now see my message. When you pray, say, "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed is your name. Your kingdom has come and your will is done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us our daily bread, forgive us our sins because we forgive those who sin against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." That prayer covers every reason you would pray, and it begins with praise, humility, and faith, because your heavenly father already knows what you need and want before you ask. Sincerely, A Foreign Stranger Q: Why music? A: Comfort in Music How to say through music that it's all going to be OK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSXxeBVMzCk Notice how it must be repeated frequently before it is intelligible, and how the composer must point it out before it can be recognized. I could elaborate upon more, but I'll leave the rest of the noticing to you. Human Communication: A fleeting sound on a fleeting breath from a fleeting life. How poetic. Divine Communication: A silent sound of an eternal voice from the one who knows everything. Music: A fleeting sound on fleeting air from a fleeting voice to a fleeting memory to fleetingly suggest to a fleeting life that there is more than that which is fleeting. Some hear the God of the universe. Others hear strange and unintelligible noises and are medically diagnosed for hearing things. What one perceives, comprehends, learns, and experiences depends upon who one is. Don't worry, I'm not out to change who you are. Far be it from human communication to be so substantial as to open eyes and ears and hearts and minds. Rather, it is merely a fleeting sound on a fleeting breath from a fleeting life. How poetic. So then some understand what music is saying and others can't be bothered to listen and don't want to hear it. Music isn't for everyone -- despite Peabody's slogan of "Music for the world". Neither is comfort for those who slap away the hand. And honestly, I don't care enough anymore to become emotionally affected by human nature. There are only so many times a person can have their hand slapped away before they walk away, only so many times they can walk away before they move away, and only so many times they move away before they pass away from this world of fleeting escapism and fleeting human communication. Comfort is not found among human communication, but among divine communication. Haven't you ever understood music? Q: Stop trying to convert people. Why are you trying to convert people to Christianity? A: You accuse me of trying to save your life, but is that really what I am trying to do? Am I really trying to help you, teach you, give you wisdom and understanding, and give you a new life in Jesus Christ, permanently saving you from death? What have I written here or done that would indicate to you that I care about you at all? Who says that I am your friend -- aren't they lying to you? Am I not your worst enemy? Haven't I sworn to destroy you and all you hold dear, to ruin your life and thwart you at every turn? Have I not proclaimed lies and deceit throughout this entire document? Have I not told you that you will die if you live and live if you die? Am I actually trying to convert people? Do I really care about people's lives? Why should I care about your life or want to help you? Aren't you my sworn enemy -- have I not my entire existence tried to steal, kill, and destroy you and all that you say and do? Am I really trying to convert people to Christianity, the only thing that is of any value? Sir or madam, I think you are very confused. Let me clarify for you (ha!). The doomed unbelievers should be disregarded by those who know the only true God and Jesus Christ, God's only begotten son. "Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Certainly God is capable and man is of weakness. "It is written, 'Man does not live upon bread alone.'" Do you know the rest of that phrase? Hunger for truth, understanding, righteousness, and wisdom. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." (Matthew 5:6). Desire mercy, good, faithfulness, trustworthiness, justice, righteousness, and compassion. "Blessed are the merciful, because they will be shown mercy." (Matthew 5:7). Listen to Jesus Christ and learn and adhere to the truth. "Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God." (Matthew 5:8). Q: There are so many problems and so much about which to think and talk. But what does thinking and talking accomplish? Everything I do amounts to nothing. A: The righteous will live by faith in The Lord Righteousness. The Spirit of Truth proves the world guilty by righteousness because Jesus returned to The Father, where we can no longer see him -- he is not physically present and is invisible to the physical worldly eye. It is futile to show something to a person who does not have eyes. All they can do is imagine and gain understanding in the realm of their own make-believe by their own imaginations, and that is not really seeing and hearing and understanding and living because of true knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. A blind person must be blessed before they can live forever. And so it is also pointless to give someone an answer for which they are unready, because they will not listen after thinking you are not answering their question, even if you are answering the question in the best way. Q: Be honest with me. Is The Holy Bible worth reading? A: 2000 years ago, God foretold and answered all of today's news. Q: I just want to do what I want, be what I want, go where I want, say what I want, believe what I want, learn what I want, and live free. A: So you request freedom, specifically, free will. You request this not from me, but from God who created you and your will and freedom, and who is in control. So I will now write one thing, even though it may be partially incorrect: the worst thing that a person can do is communicate, and the best thing that a person can do is listen. Surely you can remember what Jesus said about what kind of people do what kinds of things out of what is stored in their heart and what kinds of things come from within a person's heart and make them unclean. If you don't remember that, then you don't have the guidance of understanding; you are found lacking good discipline. And without good discipline, a person makes bad choices and is confused, "not know[ing] their right hand from their left [hand]," which means everything they say and do is confused, like a baby saying random words to their parent. Jesus Christ taught us how to pray so that we do not act like foolish unbelievers (pagans). To the baby who does not know what they are saying or doing, there appears freedom and the parent who guides. And when the baby is lost or confused or meets an issue, they try to run to their parent where they have love, guidance, and protection. The baby is free because the baby has their parents. So Jesus Christ's sheep are free because we have God, our Teaching Father in Heaven, who is in control. And I am not confused or missing (lost), because of Immanuel, who knows me, and who I know, just as The Father knows him and he knows his Father. No one can remove me from his care. Q: You're really cocky, you know that? A: Answer me if you can: when Jesus Christ gave sight to a person born blind, did Jesus Christ have to give the person eyeglasses, or say, "oops, I made a mistake," or "I'm sorry, but there were complications during the surgery," and then have to put the person through more grief as he tried to fix his mistakes? "[...] but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that i am the lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth because in these things I delight." Q: Nobody listens to me! Why won't anyone listen to me? I feel trapped by this feeling that I want people to listen to me and that I want praise from men, and I don't like it. A: "Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of The Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven, because that is how their fathers treated the prophets." (Luke 6:22-23). "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, because that is how their fathers treated the false prophets." (Luke 6:26). So if people do not listen to you, it is because they hate what you say, and if you are telling the truth, that is the light that they fear and try to avoid. "Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light because they fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be clearly seen that what he has done has been accomplished via God." (John 3:20). It is God to whom man should be listening. "Remember the word that I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you the same; if they kept my word, they will keep yours the same. They will treat you this way on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father the same. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and have hated both my Father and me. This is to fulfill what is written in their law: 'They hated me without reason.'" (John 15:20-25). "If anyone desires to do God's will, he will know whether my teaching is from God or if I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on his own authority does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever speaks [on behalf of / to honor] the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." God will give you new things. Remember that Jesus Christ is your Righteousness and Salvation, and that because of this, arrogance cannot touch you. Have faith in God; God will give you new things. Q: You are a coward. [This is not a question.] A: Tell the truth, and the world will mock, lie, and hate you. Bravery is required to stand firm for The God of Truth amid the rising storm of a world of cowardly disciples of the father of lies. "Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away." (Mark 4:16-17). "Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other." (Mark 9:49-50). Q: Why does life suck so bad? A: This is the joke. All mortals are inbred. Humans since the beginning are born from narcissism. Anyone can go at any time; your time will be up sooner or later. Breathing only delays the inevitable. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth" ...because you're gonna die anyway. "Do not worry about your life" ...because you're gonna die anyway. "Do not judge" ...because thinking is suicide and to communicate is to sign one's own death warrant. You can run, but you're still gonna die. Everyone does. Life is a death sentence. All this death is really only falling asleep with more or less damage and pain and not waking up again. That is the joke, and so when you go at a time when you are unprepared (everyone's body bleeds and dies), will Jesus Christ be there to receive you, or will you be rejected? If you did what he commanded, he will receive you, and if you did not receive his Living Word, your life will be rejected. All the rest of a person's life and time and goals are all just shit. The only thing that will matter to your fate after you've bled is what happens to you next, based upon whether you believed Jesus Christ or not. Time is of the essence, the clock is ticking, your heart is beating, and breathing only delays the inevitable. That's the joke of divine punishment -- we all bleed, and the human race drifts on this shit show that is existence, its procreating gasps of air as it collectively treads water along the river towards the waterfall's edge. If you accept God's Christ, he lifts you out of the water when you are out of energy. If you don't, he lets you drown in the depths of the water to be eaten by fish and collect among the dusty sediment, and throughout your entire time in the water, he'll probably make you suffer. That's the joke: we all deserved to be thrown into the river towards the waterfall, and we all run out of energy -- to put it mildly -- at a time not of our will. What then? The crux, the reason for the joke, the punchline, the whole purpose is that Jesus Christ died a trillion deaths -- by this I mean he died one time for every time a person who believes in him would otherwise be condemned to Hell, and the lump sum punishment dealt to him all at once on the cross -- and thereby cast Satan ("the accuser") out of the world, and then after three days, got back up from the grave, and so forth. So even though humanity is an utter tragedy, a series of accidents waiting to happen, a sequence of stupid decisions and shameful words, a tale of comic tragedy, deserving of all righteous rage and vengeance in retribution and condemnation, the worst possible Murphy's Law, the punchline of the joke is the silence and finished work of The Lamb. Humans can't shut up, so The Living Truth did it for us. Humans all deserved to suffer and die and keep suffering, so Life did it for us. -- I am loved. I am cherished. I am safe. You protect me. Even when I am ashamed, you do not leave me. You feel the punishment you use to discipline me. I say to you, "I'm not going to survive this!" and your Holy Spirit responds, "You are going to survive this." You guide me where I should go. Even if all abandon me, you remain right here next to me forever. I am safe because of you. I am loved. It will all be OK. Your compassion does not fail. I do not know what joy feels like -- my enemies have taken that from me -- but you remain. "I have loved you with an everlasting love, drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness." I am loved. I am loved. I am loved. -- "Hear my prayer, O Lord God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Look upon our sovereign, O God; look with favor on your Messiah." "Oh Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you." (Psalm 84). -- Q: What is the solution to false doctrines like Islam? A: The only true God is God of the living, and he created, sustains, and loves. God gave mankind commands so that we should live by them forever. Any ideology or message that teaches murder is not written by God -- the only exception to this was the Law given to The Jews by Moses because their hearts were hard, which said that the punishment for those who sin is death. The wage of sin is death -- "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." -- and Jesus Christ is God's eternal covenant of forgiveness so that the guilty should repent of their sins and believe the Good News that "God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish, but have eternal life; God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save it through himself; whoever believes [The Truth] will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe in God's one and only son stands condemned already. This is the verdict: light has entered the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to enter the light out of fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." (John 3:16-21). "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because he has crossed over from death to life." "I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." Ergo, Islam and all other doctrines by God's enemies are not religions, but false doctrines. They were not written by The Creator. The only true religion is one that "worship[s]..." the only true God "...who we know". So "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again [through Jesus Christ's words which are Spirit and Truth and Life ("I know that his command leads to eternal life; therefore, everything I say and do is exactly as my Father has commanded me." "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life, but there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them [and I will raise them up during The Last Day].")]." It is logical and rational: the only true God, the Creator, "is God of the living, not of the dead", and he loves and commanded humans to not murder. All who preach otherwise do not know or serve God. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands. My Father will love him and we will come and make our home within him. Whoever does not love me will not obey my commands. These words do not originate from me but come from The Father." So "proclaim the Good News to all creation". Them: Try telling them that as you're having your head removed Me: An example: "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and then turn and tear you to pieces." (Matthew 7:6). In other words, you "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven." (Matthew 5:44-45). One should share the truth where there is a willingness in the target audience to know the truth, and otherwise pray that God would free them from their enslavement to sin -- "Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. [...] Everyone who sins is a slave to sin. [...]" Them: In other words, build the wall Me: Murder is an evil -- a sin. God commanded, "Do not murder." So one prays for one's enemies to stop sinning. That's what this is all about, you don't want them to even entertain the evil thought of murder in their heart. And consequently, more sin is not helping anyone -- killing them does not end their doctrine (war escalates war, not ends war). Them: The jury's still out on that one mate [regarding "murder is an evil..."] Me: God's Love has conquered Death, and God's Command is "forgive, and you will be forgiven". "Do to others as you would want them to do to you." To exercise war and murder is to preach war and murder as a solution -- when it is not what you wanted in the first place. Surely God created our enemies for a reason, and it was obviously not for us to kill them. That said, God's enemies do not belong to God. But "'As surely as I live,' declares The Sovereign Lord, 'every knee will bow and every tongue confess.'" So when a person's life ends, what value can they say to God that their life had according to what God said that God wants us to do? "The work of God is to believe the one he sent." "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." It is the guilty who are sick and need Jesus Christ, the Doctor. God has ways of teaching that are impossible for man; and "you have one teacher: the Christ". What those who are blessed (taught) by God have been commanded to do is love and proclaim the truth to all creation... and trust God to handle the rest, because it is obvious to them that God is in control. Hope is never for the "world peace" but for real peace within a person -- "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. [Trust in God, trust also in me.]" (John 14:27). Simply, one must keep their hands and their heart clean in the sight of The Mighty One. You are loved. I am loved. God even shows love to the cruel, the ungrateful and the wicked. But "Vengeance is mine. I will repay," God said. With a word, entire oceans dry, its fish die of thirst, and entire nations crumble to dust. Surely God does not need man's help to "administer true justice in the courts; show mercy and compassion to each other; do not be angry with each other in your hearts; in your hearts do not think evil of each other." ^ but again, tell the UK legal system to "administer true justice in the courts". Just like the muslims, they'll be happy to ignore you. But all you can do is warn them of their guilt. The rest is in God's care. "I give life and I bring death. No one can rescue from my hand." "I am The Lord your God. There is no other Savior." "Is my arm too short to save?" (coming from "your maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths") Had the courts feared God, they would have not made such foolish decisions as to import God's enemies. "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." But God makes the minds of his enemies depraved. So the best thing to do is put God-fearing (God-loving) people into the decision-making positions so that the entire nation does not suffer their perverse decisions. So the priests were sanctified (set apart for special purpose) by God's Living Word as advisors and decision-makers for the people. "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve [knowledge/wisdom], and from his mouth men should seek instruction -- because he is the messenger of The Lord Almighty." (Malachi 2:7). But everything people do all comes together according to God's declaration of the future. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21). Also, don't expect to get justice from the system -- just like Facebook has become a perverted system -- "Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from The Lord that a man gets justice." (Proverbs 29:26). So the whole social media thing is fine in small portions, but God who loves is waiting to hear from my heart all day. :-) This is a better explanation: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A24-43&version=NIV It's very clear, and he even goes back and explains the whole parable. What The UK is going through is not easy. But with God's help, anything is possible. The people standing there asked him, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." https://biblehub.com/luke/18-26.htm Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, people of Great Britain and the European nations. God has not abandoned you. You have not been sold into slavery. Turn your hearts back to him in prayer and teach your children his love. Then he will save like a whirlwind your people and your land. God's love removes all evil. "Return to me and I will return to you." (Malachi 3:6-12). Man's plans are temporary; God's plans are for eternity. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." Abandon your mortal leaders and look to our "maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths": "Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from The Lord that a man gets justice." (Proverbs 29:26). I say, God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Search your heart and you will realize this is true. You are loved! Safety is under the steadfast wing of The Lord. May God save you all and bless you gently. "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and compassion upon whom I will have compassion." Mourn and then plant yourself upon the solid rock of Jesus Christ's words which "are Spirit and Life" and Truth. Get the good foundation again and then grow and rebuild with God's blessing and care. "So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you, because this sums up the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12). "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. [...]" (Matthew 7:7). Just be very careful about what you ask God for. "Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9). "There is no peace for the wicked," says The Lord. (Isaiah 48:22). "Away from me, Satan! Because it is written, 'Worship The Lord your God and serve him only.'" (Matthew 4:10). "But if I am driving out demons by the Spirit of God then The Kingdom of Heaven has come upon you." (Matthew 12:28). "Not by force or by might but by my Spirit," declares The Sovereign Lord. (Zechariah 4:6). "Put your sword back in its place, because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." (Matthew 26:52). -- I eat Jesus Christ's flesh and I drink Jesus Christ's blood. God is right. Repent of evil and he will save you. What can I say? I can say, "Listen to Jesus Christ," and I can say, "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy." God spoke clearly. God wants humans to thrive and nations to be healthy. But how can this happen when "every inclination of [humans'] heart[s] is evil all the time"? Sources: Genesis 6:5, Genesis 8:21, Jeremiah 29:11, Malachi 3:12. -- Repent of evil and be forgiven of your sins, then God will remove the evil from you. The more people who do this, the less evil you will see in your country. Be serious. If you want real help from God, repent for real. God, The Creator, loves you and wants you to live and gain steadfast health and happiness with his Presence: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30). If you don't want evil, repent of evil. If you want goodness, seek it from God who alone is good. Simple. How can God save a person or a group or a nation or a world that delights in evil from the fruit of evil which is death? Punishment through discipline until the sinner decides that the temptation of evil is not worth the result and the divine punishment. In the last days, men will love themselves and love evil and hate God, and you can read in The Bible what God does to those people. God already saved his would-be murderers from evil by giving over his only son Jesus Christ to them to teach, suffer everything, and die, then get back up and walk out of the tomb and return to God so that whoever believes in him will live and can no longer die because they have already crossed over from death to life. Simple solution to an unsolvable problem. It is not that you hate the muslim people or their culture, it's that you hate their evil. But don't you see that God has been allowing that evil to destroy your entire country because your entire country has embraced evil and rejected The Creator who alone is good? How can you call this a culture problem when it is a spiritual problem of good versus evil? Turn to Jesus Christ so that God can remove the dead skin from your eyes. Otherwise, your nation might as well be completely destroyed and forgotten. Do you want "a future and a hope" which God said he wants for you, or would you rather have your entire history and your lives wiped out and gang-raped for decades more? Are you just waiting for God to say to you, "So I heard you delight in evil. Here, have some more."? Don't you just want to live the remainder of your lives in peace? "Peace! Peace!" they exclaim. "There is no peace for the wicked," says The Sovereign Lord. Will you then try to exercise murder -- an evil that comes from within a person's heart and makes them 'unclean' -- to buy peace? That's like killing yourself to try to survive. Don't be so mentally depraved! I've said what to do, so do it or let yourselves die and be forgotten. There is no other way to well-being than Jesus Christ. Take it or leave it. Do you want comfortable words -- to immerse yourselves deeper into the darkness of political correctness, or do you want results -- of Justice and Righteousness and Kindness? "[...]that I am The Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." (Jeremiah 9:24). If you want to be a nation that is delightful in God's sight, reject the wrong and choose the right by listening to The Lord Righteousness (Jesus Christ, God's Son). Logical. Simple. Practical. Feasible. Healthy. Do it now. -- Luke 18 -- If you are arachnophobic, you flee spiders or kill spiders. If you are islamophobic, you flee islamic people or you kill islamic people. If you are murdered by a spider, you are a victim. If you are murdered by an islamic person, you are a victim. Why is your government calling the victims of islamic people islamophobic? Don't your government people have access to a dictionary? Why are your government workers lying to you? Be rid of them or murder them; disregard their meaningless words or silence them; abandon them or reprove them; do to them the wicked actions they defend or disable them; for your people have become confused, and perversion has run undisciplined, unchecked, throughout your society. Ignore them or burn it all. Either way, when the wicked have vented their evil doctrines and proceed to administer cruelty by force, you must have either rebuked them (which you did not do) or accept Jesus Christ (which you are not doing), otherwise, the wickedness increases and drags the whole land down to Hell. How easily man forgets his mortality. How easily man forgets who is in control. How easily man proclaims the folly in his heart. You are undisciplined. But now those who understand remain silent. The whole land is under judgment. Will the judge have pity and mercy and compassion on those who have shown no indication of rejecting evil? Will the judge be gentle to the cruel, love those who hate, and have mercy on the unmerciful? Will the judge forgive those who do not forgive, build up those who destroy, and give peace to those who ignore truth? Does The God of Life choose to destroy all his own work? Does The God of Infinite Possibility negate his own efforts and backtrack on his plans? Does The God Omniscient make mistakes or not know how to get it right the first time? Does The God Almighty accidentally let slip a life out of his care? Is God mistaken, must God's words be reproven, must God's actions be explained in unglorifying terms, must God's decrees be disrespected and disobeyed, must man pretend he has no Maker holding in his hand the man's life and all the man's paths? Man's unbelief cripples his own life and binds in chains and drags down to the depths any potential the man might have had for glory. Yet all man proclaims is folly; a drift of wisdom comes through the window, so the man shuts the window quickly. Yet man calls himself enlightened and says, "Listen to me!" to every living being upon whom he sets his eyes. The man is enslaved to arrogance yet delights in becoming decrepit with self-glorification; he wears himself out with haughtiness. Yet the man forgets that God humbles. And the man forgets his mortality. So what will his Maker do to the man in his hand? Will The Maker contend with the little, weak, feeble, haughty, undisciplined human he is holding in his hand? Will The Maker protect that fool from the elements? Will The Maker keep the soul in the flesh, the blood in the veins, the mind and the heart disgracefully, fearlessly, disrespecting the one who created it and sustains it? Will The Maker boost the will of the proud? If he does, I say to you, human, prepare to be inverted, you who invert truth with your lips, invert justice with your hands, invert honor with your mind, invert love with your heart, invert wisdom with your perverse folly, and invert compassion with your cruelty. From your beloved heights he will cast you down to the depths, as he said, "I saw Satan fall like lightning down from Heaven." Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. -- I saw my mother doing something with the computer. I had shown her in the past how to do it. I told her that there was a better way of doing it. She told me to butt out because she knew how to do it. God saw that man was living. God had shown man in the past how to live. Man told God to butt out because he knew how to live. God let man die. Later, God told God's Son, "go live, die, and live again for man". God's Son lived for man, let himself be killed by man, and got back up and lived again for man. God loves man. Man has hated God. God loved man even more "with an everlasting love" so that man cannot be removed from God's care anymore; even though man suffers and dies, man continues to live, because The God of Life has given the man Eternal Life through "the way, the truth, and the life" who said "no one can come to The Father except through me". God's enemies want man to be separated from God's care so that they can harm man. But God is in control. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know The Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." God showed man the way to live, and when man rejected God and embraced death instead, God gave his only begotten son to live, die, and come back to life again on man's behalf, "so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." This is "The Good News", also known as, "The Gospel". "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" So those who persecute Christians do so because they hate seeing any evidence that God's way is right. -- 5G killing birds out of the sky: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/5g_killing_birds_october_11_2019.mp4 Source: https://t.me/dannytommo/992 "Birds dropping out of the sky in Coventry" Microwave everything and burn the atmosphere? I never asked for this, nor was I asked for permission to do this to me. So if everyone on Earth were to die, and they will (obviously, everyone dies), does it matter? "We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth." (Revelation 11:17-18). -- God is superior. Jesus Christ is superior. The Holy Spirit is superior. -- After I die, God will still be in control, and things will continue as they will continue. All my actions and efforts will amount to nothing beyond how much they contributed to my own shame. Oh the joy of being born and living. For although I plan, God succeeds, although I try, God fulfills, although I am miserable, God is most eternally unchangingly glorious, although I am weak, God is almighty, although I think, God alone is good, although I communicate, God does not grow weary or burdened and his understanding no one [other than his only begotten son Jesus Christ] can fathom. Therefore, I say: It is OK for no one to listen to me. Listen to Jesus Christ. It is OK for everyone to hate me. Love God. It is OK for my life and works to amount to nothing. To God and Jesus Christ be all praise and glory forever. -- Undisciplined children vote for whomever offers them the most sweets. Do you honestly believe that Boris Johnson will step down when he fails to deliver Brexit by October 31, 2019? "Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from The Lord that a man gets justice." (I'm still waiting for your whole country to shut the fuck up and listen to your Maker. Will that ever happen? Probably only on Judgment Day. Alas, poor Europe, I did not know him well. Well, look here, all nations will end and the whole Earth will fail. Does this insult God? Is The Lord offended by sweeping his hand over the entire planet, by inverting its laws and its people, by spilling their blood and streaming their bile, by rejecting all value for their lives, by bringing the afflicted to himself and keeping them safe forever, by ruining the plans of the haughty? Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.) "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing more. But I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both your soul and your body into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." "For I know that your transgressions are many and your sins are numerous. You oppress the righteous, taking bribes and depriving the poor of justice at the gates. Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil. Seek good, not evil, so that you may live. And The Lord, The God of Heaven's Armies, will be with you, as you have claimed." (Amos 5:12-14). God does not abandon a nation to its sins without reason. Perhaps now is a good time to accept discipline. Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself. Please The Lord: God alone is good; God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Perhaps then he might grant you the justice you have so desired. Perhaps there might still be hope in Jesus Christ! Look at me, the fool, trying to comfort the dying. But at least I know Jesus Christ. What is the value of anything else? I cannot see its value; a bandage for a wound that God has inflicted, some water for the thirsty who God has made parched. We struggle to survive upon God's mercy even as he so very carefully inflicts our punishments. For what purpose, Lord? When will it be enough? Does the meager faith of those to whom you have revealed your Salvation not satisfy your command to believe in the one you sent? How much suffering is too much rebuke? Does your just wrath have no end, or will you drag us down to destruction because of our unfaithfulness and treacherous nature? Undo the works of my hands, Great King, because I am nothing... and yet I still will die like the rest under your feet. What is the value of what you have given the world to receive; where is the glory of your Salvation away from evil and death? You alone are trustworthy, so I submit to your supreme authority, Compassionate Father. Your righteousness is forever. Glory is yours. God is the one world government. Do not fight him. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children.

Have faith in him, because he is the only one you need on your side. -- I am currently under attack by evil spiritual forces. They do this every so often. Have faith in Jesus Christ. How great you are, Sovereign Lord, most merciful. You, Source of Purity, Lord Righteousness, protect a nobody, me. You have placed value on my soul; you strongly defend my life. Certainly, my distrust is shameful; what have you not yet done to earn and deserve my trust? You are within me; you tolerate my treacherous nature to dwell, out of love, within me forever. No one can remove me from your hand, Mighty One. Help me to leave behind the blind guides and their distrust toward you. My Righteousness, My Sovereign Counselor, all praise to you, and thank you for defending me. Father, I accept my silence and your Peace; majesty, truth, your throne and love and light guide me and for my sake you rule forever. In weakness you are with me forever as the only strength; in fear you are trustworthy; in faithlessness you are faithful; in treachery you remain pure; in silence your words retain authority in you; in me, your creature, you remain forever. -- Dear Bayhealth Medical Center Inc: I received a billing statement dated 10/10/19. The amount due is $308.85. The payment due date is 11/06/19. You did not help me. Therefore I owe you nothing. $5 would more than cover the cost of materials used. When I entered the building and you saw I needed help, you chose to not give me the first aid for which I asked. But The Lord commanded me to give you what you ask, so even though you don't deserve it because you chose to constantly verbally abuse me, and the only helpful action I received was the security guard opening the double doors to the medical area after he saw my repeated begging and waiting indefinitely and standing there in the lobby pleading for something to apply more pressure to my punctured wrist and waiting perhaps for more than an hour in vain for someone to do something to help me, only to face consistently repeated, unbelievable incompetence and cruel stonewalling and obtuse insults by the medical personnel, enclosed is a check for the requested money, $308.85. Had I known your institution is so desperate for money that you charge people who you don't even do anything to help, perhaps in my unemployed status I would have donated a little bit of money on a regular basis. Unfortunately, money will not save you from The Lord's rebuke, but perhaps for a little while it could help you buy yourselves some food, some more medical supplies, and eventually some more attractive coffins for yourselves. As for all the details of my time in your facility which herein I have not divulged, the following is all I have to say, because I know you couldn't care less -- you only want the money you unjustly expect, which I have enclosed with this letter: may The Lord rebuke you more gently than the lacerations and punctured vein he administered to my left hand and right wrist. God save you from yourselves. I am doing what God commanded -- "give to those who ask of you" -- which you did not do for me (even though you are being paid as your job to do it), so it stands that my bloody hands are now clean and your pristine hands are now filthy. Sincerely, [name] [guarantor id] -- God commanded to love and to not be angry. People will eventually be ruined by anger and the last day come through God's wrath. Know that whatever provokes to anger does not bring justice. A person could become angry because they want justice, because their multiple assertions or requests are not met, and the promise of vengeance is death, not an end to anger, but the promise of forgiveness is life and love and peaceful, satisfied happiness and thus no anger in sight. -- My message to The President: The Sovereign Lord has said, "I do not delight in the death of anyone." There is no limit to God's power. God's security contract does not expire. Only Jesus Christ can fathom God's understanding. "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." Saying to Jesus Christ, "Jesus Christ, please save," can bend time, can alter planets, can defy physics, can change the future. Fear hinders progress and money limits potential, but "all authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to [Jesus Christ]". How foolish and feeble are Christians to be afraid or to acquiesce to worldly demands. But "[Jesus Christ's] grace is sufficient for you, because [Jesus Christ's] power is made pure in weakness". "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father in Heaven." Tell this to your judges, to your priests, to your politicians, to your children, to your schoolteachers, to your administrators, to your spouses, to your family, to your friends, and to the alien within your walls: "The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight." (Proverbs 11:1). Jesus Christ will throw Satan and Death and all liars and murderers into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Repentance and forgiveness of sins is God's agenda. The forgiving Lord declared, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life." Congratulations on uprooting a weed, but did you uproot the wheat with it? -- Ventsia January 19, 2014 This essay presents hypothetical assertions about human communication. The goal is to aid in peaceful rationality in the promotion of cooperative understanding and justice, justice being the betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation. Each assertion is written in the grammatical person that I cursorily consider most useful. I am referencing a conversation and previous considerations I had. People communicate as assertions and requests, but only God and Jesus Christ can teach. Teaching, by strict definition, is enabling a person to understand and enabling a person to comprehend something. When people "teach", they merely make assertions according to the listener's experiences to which the listener can relate. This method of "teaching" is purely hit-and-miss, and only a small fraction of understanding is conveyed, or else what is being asserted is trivial in how it serves justice. In order for real justice to occur, a person must be taught by God and enabled by God to understand. This is why such great understanding is gained through the Holy Spirit while everything else seems so trivial and pointless in comparison, because actual teaching is only accomplished by God and Jesus Christ who conveys Truth, Justice and Life through real understanding all throughout a disciple's life. You will have many problems, but the only result is frustration. Frustration is a result of emotion, and emotion is a result of coincident assertions and requests. In sequence, a communication experience involves a person making assertions and requests. Coincident assertions and requests would result in emotions. Those emotions can lead to feelings such as frustration. A person typically perceives one predominant feeling about which they think, and then act upon. An unfavorable feeling is usually avoided, or the person attempts to otherwise solve the adverse situation. A favorable feeling might be enjoyed and the person might "learn" from the situation so that they would further consider its value. Here are some examples. All the statements in this essay thus far have been assertions. A single assertion is devoid of emotion. When it is combined with another assertion or a request, a modicum of emotion is at least implied, as is the case of this sentence, where multiple assertions have been delimited by commas. A run-on sentence would therefore imply emotion. A single assertion is emotionless. However, when a request is at least implied, therein you have again coincident assertions and requests, so emotion has been communicated. If a person were to say, "I am frustrated," that would be a single assertion that contains no emotion. If they were to exclaim, "I'm frustrated!" then there would more apparently be emotion present, resulting in a stronger implication of also another assertion and request: that they do not like being frustrated and for an answer (assertion in response) to help them with their dilemma. In order to understand an emotional situation, it helps to consider what assertions and requests a person is making. Vulgarity and violence tend to be results when a person is unable to comprehend and solve their situation. So to avoid these and other bad decisions, it helps to recognize what has transpired in reverse order: identify the highest feeling (typically frustration) and some other feelings that resulted in that feeling (such as depression), emotions which cause that feeling (such as anger and sadness), then for each emotion, try to remember the situation where those emotions were present, and remember what was being communicated and recognize each assertion and request of that communication. Indeed, pacification and stability is obtained simply in the process of recognition of assertions and requests; a solution to these requests and assertions need not be present for an emotionally-stable communication process. For example, if someone says to you, "I feel like crap," or, "I feel like shit," then it behooves the speaker and listener to solve the situation; in fact, the emic, implied request was for help, specifically from the person to whom the statement was communicated. Let's take this as an example. If someone says, "Humanity is shit," that would be a single assertion devoid of emotion itself. However, given the topic and its context, there are implied requests, which means that they have more than one assertion and request at the same time, which results in emotion. The implied request is for information about why you feel the way you do, and perhaps for help understanding or improving your outlook. One should therefore ask, "Why do you think humanity is shit, and do you want to keep thinking that?" In saying this, one would have recognized both the assertion and implied requests. When you are frustrated, look at the situation of what is being communicated as its assertions and requests. Frustration is itself a request to understand one's own inability to comprehend the reason for one's own emotions. Since emotions are a result of multiple assertions and requests, a helpful action can be reached by thinking about what is being asserted and requested. A person says to you that the people on this planet (i.e., everyone) is shitty. First, recognize what assertions and requests you have. If you can, ask the person to clarify, for example, "I am frustrated" is an assertion, and "Help me overcome that frustration" is a request. In this case, we have many assertions and requests. For example, that person might say, "I have one or more issues with people," which is an assertion, and "I would like to find the solution to these issues," which is a paraphrased request. Namely, they are mentioning this to you, so they would be asking you for help with these issues. Some people "jump the gun" with this without comprehending, though, by saying, "Well, you can't help me, so I'm not going to mention this to you." While that may be true, they should understand first what assertions and requests they are making. That way, they can make a better decision about where to seek the answers; if a person has a problem with an animal, they might consult resources about animals, but they would need to know that their actual assertions and requests have solutions found in these locations. In layman's terms, you cannot drink your problems away. Looking for solutions in the wrong location results in saying things they do not mean, being careless, and being overwhelmed to the point of simply forgetting until that time when they have reached a behavior pattern that they see as honestly solving their previous issue. In such an example, you might tell them, "Thinking about what problems you have will reveal most of the requests, and thinking about how you view a situation will reveal most of the assertions. Both have also implied assertions and requests. What issues do you have with people now and how do you view your situation with people?" You might then relate by saying, "I have issues also. For example, I have a problem with people listening to me. I would say it as thus: 'People don't listen to me = assertion; I would like people to listen to me = request'. Now the frustrating emotion would come into play when those two occur at the same time." The person might then provide some assertions: "Dealing with people makes me nervous, because I think about what they think about me too much. I am not able to not care about it. At one point, it was too much for me and I basically stopped seeing people. I'm aggravated because I have a lot of other problems also." The cure for frustration is this: seeing both the assertion and request, then changing one or more of them, or otherwise finding a solution to one or more of them. Such social situations are not phases, but points of learning that need to be understood so that one can grow from there. There is at least an implied request for the situation to improve in this example, otherwise there would be no frustration. These can be identified generally; specifics are only necessary after identifying the assertion and request and when moving on to the solution step. Have the person think about the problem and make some statements about it. In this case, dealing with people makes this person nervous. This person cares what people think about them. If they say these assertions are correct, then ask if there are implied requests for them both to change, that they do not want to be nervous. The person might then say, "I'd like to not care so much about what other people think about me, I'd like to not think so much about my impressions on other people." However, this would be a blind solution; in other words, they should not speculate on the solution (caring less) until they have a grasp on the situation. You can affect how much you care, but that will change the situation. Before you change the situation, understand it. Have them make more assertions and requests. For example, "I don't like feeling nervous (in general)," and "I have an unresolved issue with one or more people." They should make assertions like this that apply specifically to their situation. If they have trouble, they should start with, "I am frustrated" or "I am angry," then say why. They can start with the feeling or emotion and work backwards from there. Have them identify all the feelings, then all the emotions, then the scenario during which this emotion occurred, then what assertions and requests were in place resulting in that emotion. They can also make additional assertions and requests about that situation to clarify what they felt. The example of sadness might be a result of not being given attention, wherein a person would recall, "I wanted attention but it was not given to me," meaning their request for attention was not answered in a way that helped them appropriately with their issue. A question is a request for an assertion about a situation, like if you ask how something works, then you are requesting an answer, an answer being an assertion that solves your issue, in this case, an assertion saying how something works. If the reply is an assertion which cannot logically be applied as a solution by the person to their issue regarding their request, then the problem compounds along with emotion due to additional assertions and requests coinciding with the previously unresolved assertions and requests. In layman's terms, they become increasingly agitated because the responder was not "listening to them". If a person does not get the answer they were looking for, or that they see as relevant and helpful, then they might use vulgar language because: they are frustrated because they are upset because their request of receiving an answer was not met. So they would have the assertion "My request was not met" along with an unresolved request of "explain why", simply because they did not get an assertion that they found useful. When a situation is exacerbated, a person will use a "defense mechanism" of forgetting and ignoring the problem until they encounter understanding with which they can approach it with its solution later. If they do not remember, then they should get into the habit of thinking as assertions and requests described here, and eventually, when they remember, they can resolve that issue in the same way. They probably forgot or ignored the situation because they found no working solution before their frustration became unbearable. There would be no point in remembering if one cannot rationalize and find a working solution before the emotions become so burdensome. It's like putting a project on hold until you have enough understanding about how to do each step, then you can come back to it later. Now let us consider more context. A person is not just mind and body, but also spirit. Therefore, one should learn help of the spirit which are the words of Jesus recorded in the Holy Bible. Emotions are of the mind, pain is of the body, and spirit is what lasts and guides your heart and mind. Spirit is hope, your actual life, truth, justice, goodness, and any of those more "abstract concepts". Emotions are of the mind, and the "abstract concepts" are of the spirit. So far in this essay, I presented a way to find solutions for the mind. But issues of the heart are solved in the area of spirit, not in the area of emotions. Things you really want are the area of the spirit, for example, the phrase "your heart's desire", whereas things you feel are areas of the mind, like emotions. Things of the physical body are of the body, like physical pain. Even though you may not think you want anything, you do; each request you make means you want something, at the very least, understanding. The desire for understanding is inherent in human nature. That would be the spirit working with the mind. For example, a person might say they want to gain knowledge to build machinery and electronic things, find a "significant other" with whom to share their moments, and to live their life as such. The spirit wants understanding, and the mind seeks it through questions -- through requests for answers. The spirit makes value judgements and that's how the mind works: you work to forget what you don't think is valuable, and you try to remember what you think is important. In this case, a person says that they want to gain knowledge about machinery. That means somewhere along the line, they thought such information was valuable to life, so their spirit made a judgement call about it, and so they thought to learn about that with their mind. The same applies to their other desires or goals. What I am saying is that the words recorded of Jesus speak directly to the spirit through the mind (through understanding what he is saying). They are not about machinery or other values like that, rather they are of the values most directly relevant to life and living. They are about doing good, truth, and all those other "abstract concept" spirit-related values. If a person considers what is defined here as spirit as actually being a part of the mind, it is because they have both, and they work together. It is easier to identify them separately once one has really given thought to what Jesus said, and that would provide a basis of judgement. So then one might ask, "Why on earth would I need anything regarding Jesus in my life?" That is the question! That is the question fundamental to the mind: "What is important?" We forget what we do not think is important and remember what we do think is important. So you must ask yourself what you honestly want in life, what you value, what you think is important the most. Then you can see that those relate to the spirit, not just the mind, because they are of your heart -- what is dear, valuable, and important, your "treasure" if you had any, whatever you think is good or true or right, that all deals with the heart, and is in the realm of understanding belonging to the spirit. On the other hand, emotions, concepts, and perspective are in the realm of understanding belonging to the mind, which also regards what was being presented regarding communication as assertions and requests. You have both mind and spirit, and also your body. Body is physical, mind is your thoughts, spirit is what you value, your "heart", what you have determined to be most important, most valuable to the well-being of life. Concepts and judgements of good and evil, or right and wrong, do not come from the mind or body, but from the spirit, because that is the realm of the spirit. A related concept in the realm of the mind would be saying "that is favorable to me", and this would be an assertion of the mind. You can also say "that pleases my body", and that is an assertion in the realm of the mind regarding the physical body. However, to say "that is good" is a judgement call made by the spirit. As you should know, something can be pleasant to the body and even favorable, and yet be bad. Because you have identified it as bad, you would know to avoid it. So your spirit has the most authority in your decision-making process, because it is what you use to identify what is true. In fact, Jesus said that only God is good; if a person wants to enter eternal life, they must obey God's Commandments (The Ten Commandments). The spirit actually "feeds" off of the truth. It is your heart's desire, that which puts your mind at ease. That is why lie detector tests work, because brain activity increases when there is falsehood which literally upsets the mind and antagonizes the spirit by causing it grief. The spirit wants truth and goodness, and that is what it means to be made in God's image, as it says in Genesis that God made man in his image. God is Spirit, and that's what it means to be made in God's image. God alone is good, and the nature of man is to desire God. That is why it makes sense that Jesus' words speak directly to help the spirit through understanding in the mind; like he says, his words are spirit and truth. These are all assertions. People only communicate as assertions and requests. A question is a typical request based upon an assertion, a demand is a strong request based upon an assertion. Teaching is not actually possible for human beings to do; by strict definition, teaching is imparting understanding. When people "teach", they make assertions like what I am doing here. I am merely making assertions, though. I try to relate them to your experience so you can understand, but I cannot MAKE you understand what I am saying, nor can I increase or limit your capacity for comprehension. That would literally be teaching, and only God can do that; God actually enables people to understand. Here is the situation: the first thing we read God saying, in the beginning of the Bible, is "Let there be light." God actually ENABLES things to exist, and that includes enabling people to understand. It is not a phenomenon you can easily perceive. You can, however, ask to understand, and at least soon thereafter you will receive that for which you asked. Asking and receiving is part of having a relationship with God and Jesus Christ his son. That is an example of a situation where people make requests. People communicate as assertions and requests, but only God can teach, and he teaches the spirit through Jesus Christ's words -- each person should investigate to see if what I am saying here has merit. Learning from Jesus (understanding truth about the spirit) is much more pleasant than anything having to do with the body or mind. Such understanding about life, truth, reality, and such is what lasts beyond the mind and body, and that is where "eternal life" comes in; after the body and mind return to dust, the spirit persists. Eternal life is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ his son, as Jesus said. Again, that is of the spirit, and a person would not understand that with their mind until they had a proper context with background information. For example, one would need to know who God and Jesus Christ is. This is why it helps to investigate these things, so one has a basis for understanding. Again, these statements are all assertions. If you become frustrated, understand them as such. If I were to help clarify or explain further, I would only respond to one's questions using assertions that I find helpful and relevant. I cannot actually make someone understand or otherwise teach them. The limit to one's comprehension and understanding, as well as their journey in life, is handled by God alone -- you are in God's Hand, and nobody can remove you from his hand, because God is greater than all. I am in the same situation myself. The command I have been given by God, like all who know his commands, is to love you as myself. So I share my experience and gain further understanding through these assertions. You have all the means now to be well. It is important that you understand. There is only one who can enable you to understand. As long as you continue to seek understanding, and are honest, then you will be on the right path towards that understanding. Honesty means accepting and working with the truth. Truth is what you desire, because that is where you gain real understanding. Truth is of the spirit, understanding is of the mind. Your spirit seeks truth and uses your mind to seek understanding of what is important in life. Jesus is the Way to God, the Truth, and the Life. Food for your body is "bread" and "water", food for your mind is understanding, and food for your soul (your spirit) is truth and life. In reality, Truth and Life is Jesus, God's Living Word, because God is the God of Truth and Life, and Jesus is God's Son who only says and does what God shows him. There are some rather weighty assertions in the previous sentence, but whoever listens to what Jesus, who God sent into the world, says in the Holy Bible, they will see for themselves whether he comes from God or speaks on his own. Whoever speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but whoever works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false. Because you must seek the truth on your own, I can't actually teach you. The path of understanding is what each person must live. Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God. That is part of knowing God by understanding what God says. Though all these assertions may seem complicated, the logic is sensible. Though I cannot teach, I can assert with confident honesty that you can understand if you want to understand. All the answers to the reality of existence are held within the spirit, not within the mind, so you would need to consult what God says through Jesus Christ, and not depend upon coming up with the answers on your own through your head. Well-being is found on that path of obeying God's Commandments and listening to Jesus Christ who God sent into the world to be our Righteousness and Salvation. -- Those subjected to the battle between assessment and creativity escape to the United States of America. If they find the same battle there, they escape society. Without altruism, there is no authority. True riches are with God in Heaven; use the sand of this life to gain friends for yourselves so that you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. Money is of no consequence, because God is in control. Do not work for money, which belongs to the government, but work for God, to whom everyone belongs. Nevertheless; nevertheless; pray to Our Father in Heaven, the Lord God Almighty, nevertheless. Fear is only your imagination. (This was told to me by Michael, my swimming instructor.) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, body and strength; love all other people as yourself. Be wise and clever in practicing God's true love; others will see the good things that you bring out of your heart and will learn to do even more good things. When a person's living body is destroyed, their spirit gives an account of all their actions to God the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End; they are then judged in truth and mercy and either condemned to eternal punishment in Hell or given new lives to further love and obey God in Heaven. Not all truths are inspirational; not everyone has ears to hear. God's Will is that we should obey the One he has sent into the world: his Son, Jesus Christ. Not everyone has been called by God; pray for those who persecute you because you love Jesus, and rejoice because your reward is great in Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who foretold the coming of the Lord of all Authority and Power, Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Son of God the Father Almighty in Heaven, who created the universe and all things according to the plan that he alone knows. Murder is never in the service of the True God. Let the authorities carry the spiritual sword of righteousness (Jesus Christ's Words) as angels of God, for they harbor no ill will towards those who do good, but seek to extinguish evil. Therefore, obey those in authority and pray for them, so that they may judge with God's mercy and justice in Truth and Love. -- The grand joke of will is stupidity paired with stubbornness, and that alone is what makes society and communication such a nightmare. Goethe said, "Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together." If it were a chain, that would imply unwillingness -- because a chain is a forced binding, which is only necessary while there is unwillingness (stubbornness). So if people are so stupid as to not be kind -- as to not "do to others as you would have them do to you" -- then their stubbornness is actually a propensity towards self-destruction. What really should be said is that humans did not trust God, which is why they are so stupid, because God is the creator, and thus their stubbornness is a path towards their own destruction. Therefore, when man trusts God, man is well. But a stubborn man is a stupid man and a stupid man is a stubborn man -- neglecting God's discipline, the "chains" of kindness, justice, and righteousness, the man rejects comprehension and understanding and well-being, and thus both the individual and the group degrades down to death and dirt. People breathe the same air as they use it to insult each other... all in the vain hope of loving themselves more than others. What does that gain the individual? Yes, people are stupid, yes, people are stubborn, yes, so are you, yes, so am I. But to what end; how does God feel about you? "How can you believe if you accept praise from one another yet make no effort to obtain praise that comes from the only true God?" -- People who are depressed seek the solution in feeling good about themselves. And they begin to distrust God; but here's the catch: God does not want to feel good about himself. God wants to help you -- because God loves you. "But there is one who seeks [glory for himself] and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, they will never see death," Jesus Christ said. God gains glory for himself through Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ gains glory through those who believe in God through him, and it is this way because God commanded Jesus Christ to enter the world and suffer and die and rise back to life on mankind's behalf, so that whoever would believe in him will not perish, but have Life Himself in them, and thus live forever. The whole point of living is to know God and Jesus Christ. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." And thus, the meaning of life is to obey God, because God's "will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day," and "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent." After you learn and understand, you believe the truth, and after you believe the truth, you live by the truth and The Spirit of Truth teaches you and sustains you with Jesus Christ -- The Truth -- as your Counselor forever. God is not selfish or self-centered, but generous and humble in heart, compassionate and loving. It is a mistake to distrust God and Jesus Christ, but once you know God and Jesus Christ, you'll realize that a person's life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. Love is weighed with trust by understanding through faith. First is faith and understanding, then is love and trust. Without knowing how much God loves you, without understanding who Jesus Christ is and what he has done, you cannot be expected to comprehend anything of real substance or exercise faith, understanding, love, and trust. So no wisdom until trust, and no love until understanding, and no trust until comprehension. May you know and love your maker, and by trusting him, gain wisdom... and "whoever believes will live and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life". -- Jesus Christ left the joy, comfort, safety, privacy, and peace in Heaven, where he was Lord, to come down to Earth according to God's command, where he had to be born and suffer the worst of the human condition in this miserable world, all because God loves you and wants you to go to Heaven. -- My favorite passtime is knowing that people have no real knowledge of reality. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/flower.png Some things are too important, and too powerful, to be shared. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy; it is a waste to feel sorry for those who have no real knowledge of reality. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. They are so certain yet so blind. -- Because arrogance and folly are two of the "evils that come from within a man's heart and make him 'unclean'": "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." -- Mark Twain But not for him who uses the buckler "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy". If you show to others what they perceive as weakness, they feel uninhibited to produce fruit according to their nature, yet all deception is impossible for those who are given eyesight by The Holy Spirit, because The Lord takes care of his own -- wherever they are -- and "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. [...]" To listen to Jesus Christ and accept Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Salvation is to accept God "who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things [he] delight[s]". But that would change your whole life for the better -- in fact, you would be crossing over from death to life: "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die -- he has crossed over from death to life." "I am The Resurrection and The Life; whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments." -- Jesus Christ "Do not let your hearts be troubled[, neither be afraid]. Trust in God; trust also in me." -- Jesus Christ God alone is good; God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. You say, "I don't understand." If you want to understand, listen to Jesus Christ who is The Teacher -- read what God and Jesus Christ has said and done as written in The Holy Bible. Do the important things in your lifetime first! But how can I say to someone, "The sooner you turn your heart to The God of Truth and listen to and learn from Jesus Christ who is The Truth, the safer the rest of your life will be against evils such as deception, folly, evil thoughts, and arrogance, which come from the human heart?" How can I say such a thing when I know that Jesus Christ said, "On this rock I will build my church" and "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me" and "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit; each tree is recognized by its fruit; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire; thus, by their fruit you will recognize them"? How can I try to "proclaim the good news (which is 'the repentance and forgiveness of sins [...] in [the name of Jesus Christ]' -- by God through Jesus Christ) to all creation"? How could I, and why am I told to, do this? "Whoever does not gather with me scatters." It's because it is God's agenda to forgive so that a person "will live and not die"; "and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." Everything God and Jesus Christ have said is consistent and trustworthy and for good purpose and eternal. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away," and "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." But then how can I try to reveal something God has revealed to me? Again, the answer to that question comes from God. "He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears; he will take from what is mine and make it known to you; all that belongs to The Father is mine -- that is why I said The Holy Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you." "I will not leave you as orphans." "It is for your good that I am going away, because unless I go away, The Holy Spirit will not [be sent / be given / come] to you." "I am sending you a Counselor to be with you forever: The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him because he is among you and will be within you." "If you knew me, you would know my Father [the same]. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." "The Father is in me and I am in The Father." So how can I tell a person, "listen to the truth"? How can I point to where they can find the truth? How can I help them know and understand the truth? Let them seek and find on their own. "Blessed are you, Simon, [...] because this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in Heaven." How can I say, "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy" and "God is in control", and say that Jesus Christ is the only teacher, and yet say to others what God and Jesus Christ have said to me? Shouldn't The Lord teach others as he has taught me? I am not those to whom I have communicated, nor am I Jesus Christ or God. Look at these words -- do you really think that what I'm saying and doing is going to last forever or is of any consequence? If someone only cares about their own words and their own deeds and their own actions, shall I extol The Lamb in their presence? Should the haughty gain understanding from humility? Does a rich man proclaim how delighted he is to be poor? Do the poor proclaim the virtues of money? Does a blind person describe the colors around him? Does a fool exhort his children to gain wisdom? It is no use; my efforts are in vain; and anything I do that is of any value is credited to The Lord my Righteousness anyway. My life is transient and my lifetime here on the footstool is like tossing a crumpled up piece of paper into a tornado in an attempt to counter a headlong wind. Feeble and wasted is my entire life -- except that I have learned from God and Jesus Christ. Everything else is stupid and might as well be something completely different because it would not matter. -- I lie in wait behind pearly gate to show you the woe that you do not know.

God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. So Adam had sex with himself and every human is a product of narcissism. God punishes man like he's taking out his anger by kicking a garbage bag sitting at the curb waiting to be thrown into the incinerator. What did the garbage bag do to God, or does God need to rub it into the garbage bag's face that God doesn't like the garbage it holds? Pure sorrow is distance from God. How much sorrow is there when a person is rejected by God and cannot speak, think, or bring grievances to the person's Creator? And if there is never sympathy or empathy, and the only kindness is discipline, how can a human of faith do anything but see their life as a test, that they would hate themselves as God hates them and accept that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy? What would you do if no one loved you -- not even yourself, nor your Creator? What would you do if your Creator told you to hate yourself? Would you want to die? Would you kill yourself? So then what if your Creator made you hate yourself and showed you no love and mocked you and tortured you for your entire life, yet denied you the option of suicide? Wouldn't you see this as a lifetime test of your obedience and humility and faithfulness -- even as you knew that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy? And what if God made you fail at everything? Would you become angry at God, and say that God is your enemy who thwarts your will like someone battering away your hands from your goal? You see, God does not care about the heart, mind, soul or will of a human, one of his creatures. God loves himself, yet is humble; so he created man in his image and had the male have sex with the male's own flesh, and requires humility of man. This is why I hate reality and have complaints. But nobody cares, and it is just as well that God doesn't listen. It's not like God is going to change anything, unless it's just another plan for my torture. So what? What is it to me if anything is the same or any different? I'm not The Creator and none of this was my plan anyway; far be it from me to care about anything. Not that caring has or will ever accomplish anything other than throwing more sandbox sand into the air. And I don't think God considers that entertaining. God made man a helper -- because sin is a social thing. OK so now God set man up to be vulnerable to sin, to self-destruction. You can't sin if there is no one else involved. Look, these all require more than one person: Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself. If you are the only person in a scenario, you can't sin -- there would be no one from whom you could steal, there would be no one who you could kill, there would be no one towards whom you would feel lust, there would be no one to deceive, you wouldn't be around your parents, and you wouldn't have a neighbor. See? Easy. But as soon as God took the man's rib and made Eve, all of a sudden that wound God inflicted on man became a gaping hole of vulnerability to sin, and Satan exploited that vulnerability as an insult to God. Yes, God commanded the man to not eat from the specific tree(s), yet the man's "helper" turned out to not be such a helper after all. Alas, the failure that is narcissism and that is the human. Alas, the failure that is God's image -- and by extension, God -- or so it would at mere first glance appear to one who does not know what is really going on, to one who does not comprehend that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Yet if I kill myself, I cannot sin. Is death any escape? When the body dies, there is no escape for the soul -- the soul lives on as it was. The whole thing is stupid; my entire existence is a sham; and my words are a complete waste of effort; I only entertain myself and my own small-minded delusion. Come, wisdom, come, knowledge, let me gain you so that I can feel the extents of the misery that is existence; come dwell and dance in my heart and mind so that my will might be abused and my soul whine and complain and cry foul play to my Creator. As if that would change anything. -- Q: Why do you believe in Jesus? A: It is as Jesus said. -- Because I am a Christian -- because I know God -- people keep blocking my contact, ignoring everything I write and say, and stigmatizing me. Comprehension of reality is not for everyone. -- This is what The Sovereign Lord says: "I love you, yet you do not listen. You are not giving me any attention, so why should I give you any attention? Will you resent my care and deny my heartfelt, eternally-enduring love for you, and turn away from my protection, so that you can chase fleeting fantasy of imagination and stray ideas and reckless thoughts? My love is greater than your mind. Trust that I have loved you forever; believe in my son. I am always with you forever, even until the very end of the age, and no one can remove you from my care. I take care of you. You belong to me; I am your God and you are my son. Do not fear anyone or anything else. I will guide you and clothe you and protect you and feed you with my white garments and clean water from Heaven by my own flesh and blood, your Righteousness. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid to speak among men, for I will make them bow down before you as you have bowed down before me, and exhort them to me. 'I know that his command leads to eternal life; therefore, everything I say is exactly as my Father has commanded me.'" November 6, 2019 -- Are you being provoked? Observe how Jesus handled this in John 8:49-59. "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my father, and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." At this, the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My father, who you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. Although you do not know him, I know him; if I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. Your father, Abraham, rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day. He saw it and was glad." The Jews said to him, "You are not yet 50 years old, and you have seen Abraham!" "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. -- If you hate me for telling the truth, then I might as well be delighted to be hated by you, because truth is better than opinion. -- Mind to mind, Matter of matter, Kind to kind, Sequence of sequence, Action by action, Break by break, Sake with sake, Involved through involvement, The Lord is merciful, Because by acting he justified action, By welcoming he justified welcome, By his life he justified my life, By his will he broke my will, By his might he made me weak, By his patience he proved me foolish, By his love he reveals my heartlessness, And by his understanding he purifies me. He transfuses his pure blood into me, He hands me his own flesh as healthy food, He cleans my mind with his edifying words, He brings the sun to gently shine on me, He washes away my enemies like refuse, He disciplines me harshly until I cry, He brings my words to nothing, But because he loves me, my life has value. No words to describe the suffering, But this suffering will only last a short time; As my lifetime is brief, So my experiences in his image will be concluded. Yet I know I will never be worth a moment of his consideration, Because the master remains the master and I the unwitting rebel am a product of his imagination, To remain broken and weak and crushed until that time when the master looks down under his foot, And sees, And says, That the time has come for me to now come out from under his foot. -- "To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation -- what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: We played the flute for you and you did not dance. We sang a dirge and you did not cry. John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon'. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard -- a friend of tax collectors and "sinners"'. But wisdom is proved right by all her children." (Luke 7:31-35). Shall I then speak to one who does not want to listen? Shall I thus give information to a dead man? Would it be so painful for you to consider our maker's words? Or do you think understanding is not important? Should you fear being well? Should you shun peace? Do you excuse yourself from knowledge by the thought that God does not know how to communicate? You have no comprehension of reality -- you can't see, you can't hear, and you can't know, because you reject God's words. God created the mind and communication; shouldn't you therefore consider what your creator says? Or are you such a treacherous rebel since birth as he has explained? "Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth." Accidents and fear are only your imagination. When a human only sees enemies and learns distrust from childhood, they perceive their need for something better -- for the being who alone is good, trustworthy, almighty, in control, and does not change. But is a rebel willing to accept that God is controlling their life? Would not only an "accident" make them ask God for help? But then the rebel would remain stubborn, and shun help, because they do not know God and Jesus Christ. And they would get worse, and worse, and move from one disaster to the next, become afflicted and grotesque... simply because God did not allow them to belong to him, learn from him, and receive loving discipline, real peace, real joy, and eternal life through him by their repentance and his forgiveness of their sins and their knowledge of him and his son and their comprehending belief in him. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you -- the only true God -- and Jesus Christ who you sent." "No one can come to The Father except through me." "[...] The Father is greater than I am." "The Father is in me and I am in The Father." "The Father and I are one." "You will leave me all alone. But I will not be alone, because my Father is with me." "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" "It has been accomplished." "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." "My grace is sufficient for you -- my power is made pure in Weakness." "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "The Son of Man did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world through himself." You don't want to die? Then accept the only solution: listen to Jesus Christ, who, at God's command, gave up his own life and died and rose back to life so that whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die -- because by believing in him, they have already crossed over from death to life. "Because I live, you also will live." "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it -- I will not ask The Father on your behalf, but my Father will love you because you believed in his one and only son." "Apart from me, you can do nothing." "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear; but when he -- The Spirit of Truth -- comes, he will remind you of everything I have said to you, take from what is mine and make it known to you, and lead you into complete truth. He will not speak on his own, but only what he hears; all that belongs to The Father is mine." "The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, because he is among you and will be within you." "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my guidance upon yourself and learn from me; I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul, because my guidance is easy and my workload is light." "I tell you the truth: if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death." Should I then remain silent? -- Since I entered the world, I knew that no one cares about me or my words or my actions. Would you try to gain honor for yourself by trying to deceive me into thinking you are trustworthy? How foolish you are. I am given wisdom and you are given folly. Be gone. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. That is something you will never comprehend! -- This is all I have said: Know and accept your intercessor. -- Do people make fun of you and not take you seriously? Do they laugh at you when you try to give them wisdom? Are they not on the side of truth? Know your intercessor: He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. (Mark 5:39-40). Even this, God's only begotten son took upon himself as our intercessor. Accept him. Eat his flesh and drink his blood -- keep his living words within you -- because "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me," "God alone is good," and "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy." The Lord's words make whoever accepts him right then and there cross over from death to life so that they can no longer die. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Keep disclosing things, Mr. Jones, and remember that we should "not be afraid of them; there is nothing concealed that will not be brought out into the open, and there is nothing hidden that will not be made known". God seeks glory for himself, and he is the judge. Proclaim repentance and the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ's name to all nations. "He had one left to send: a son." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." To those who do not know, say, "Know your intercessor," and to those who ask, say, "Listen to Jesus Christ." The Lord has done this, and he stores up these things in his vaults; it is his to avenge -- he will repay each person according to what they have done. Immanuel Eternal: God's Presence is Forever Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens -- "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean." The Lord has cleaned me and armed me with the divine tools of his holy angels. He has given me my first buckler, my first dagger, and my first chainmail. Know your intercessor: listen to Jesus Christ. Then, if you are willing to accept it, wear these tried and true armaments of purity: The buckler of wisdom is God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The dagger of humility is Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. The chainmail of the covenant is The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Wear them well. -- Me: So I hear you want justice. If any of you are a Christian or a Jew, think about what Jesus Christ did to obey Psalm 82 and to lead justice to victory, and why the nations have placed their hope in his name. This must be understood to know how God commands Christians and Jews to administer true justice. The perception of Christianity has become perversion. Jesus did not abolish "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth," but have you gone and read and seen what that phrase actually means yet? If you have not, then you are neglecting God's decrees and are therefore a non-believer! See, the perversion is picking and choosing and neglecting God's words, but "man does not live upon bread alone, but upon EVERY WORD that comes from the mouth of God." I am therefore correct that most have no true concept of reality, because they are not blessed. I could say so much more, but alas, you are already ignoring God's Teacher, so you have already demonstrated that you don't want to understand. It is you who are the 5 foolish virgins who get left outside, and it is you who betray your brothers to death, and it is you who, like Peter, have repeatedly denied The Anointed One, disgracing yourselves. Surely it's not that painful to consider all of Christ's words? What does Psalm 82 mean to you? When you cry and whine that you want help and you beg for justice and safety, have you already understood that God is waiting for you to learn and exercise Psalm 82:3-4 according to The Teacher's finished work? Or are you still vulnerable to accepting a stranger, some thief, as The Christ, so that they are allowed to steal, kill, and destroy you? You do realize that's what's coming for you next, right -- just as Jesus Christ explained? Or hasn't Jesus Christ told you also this ahead-of-time? Or are you simply not listening because you do not belong to God? Decide whether you want to learn the truth. You know where to get it. Them: Just a question on your terminalogy. 'what Jesus Christ did to obey Psalm 82' Did psalm 82 exist when JC walked the earth? Me: The Lord walked with Adam and Eve. And he said, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" "Immanuel" means "God with us". Does that clarify? Think and God will bless you. Jesus Christ is God's Presence in Existence. -- Them: it's quite confusing lately all this christian and jew stuff Me: I know what it is like to not understand. This and other reasons are why I wanted to learn from God. So much focus is placed on the self in this worldly society, and "because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold; but whoever stands firm until the end will be kept safe". It makes no sense to a person until the person is willing to open their heart and mind to reading the bible and talking to God and finding this out: "Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him." (John 7:17-18). Learning from God changes a person's life forever for the better. Jesus Christ explains everything... as he explained. There is no contradiction; there is no falsehood from Jesus. But you need to have that gauge of Absolute Truth in order to open your eyes to reality. I don't ask you to trust me, but simply to know your intercessor, and if you ask me what that means, then if you are willing to accept it, listen to Jesus Christ. That's all I have ever been saying. But like that quote reveals, when you have The Absolute Truth, you see the real motivations and the real flaws of everyone around you, and with real blessing, God teaches what his only son did to solve all problems. That is the good news; and the word "gospel" means "good news". The gospel is not a bad thing, but a good thing, see? But this perverse world has tried to shame it because the wicked reject good things from God who alone is good and "who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight". Do you want to be like everybody else, or do you want to be "set apart for special purpose by the truth -- [God's] word is truth"? You see, that is the question here, because God is not going to invest understanding in someone who does not humble themselves like a child before him. It is as Jesus Christ explained. But that's all I can tell you -- I can prove it all, but I don't care to prove it until God has "drawn you to [him]self with faithful loving kindness, and you belong to [him]" and then at that point there is no need for me to explain it to you because you already have the wellspring of the knowledge of God and his son welling up to eternal life within you. Then I can encourage and share, and that is my target audience: those who already know Jesus Christ and see God through him. That is why it is confusing right now -- I'm literally talking over your head. The target audience is one superior to you: to understand, you have to step up to faith and learn and understand by listening to Jesus Christ so that you can see God. ...if you are willing to accept it. And that is all I have been saying: Know your Intercessor -- Listen to Jesus Christ. While others clamor "listen to me, listen to me!" I am simply saying, "listen to Jesus Christ". And I quoted his explanation of how that differs; my intercessor has vindicated me and brought me onto the side of truth. As he explained, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by The Jews. But now my Kingdom is from another place. [...] You are right in saying that I am a king. For this reason I was born and entered the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." But his words were foreign to Pilate, as they are to those of this world. Yet Jesus said them anyway. Why is that? Because it is as Jesus explained: "I have spoken openly to the world. I said nothing in secret. Every day I was with you teaching in the temple courts. Why question me? Ask those who heard me; surely they know what I said." "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What is whispered into your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." See, "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. All things have been committed to me[...] Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest[...] learn from me[...]" "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" So what I have said all along is what God and Christ have said. Listen to Jesus Christ. And if you are willing to accept it, then in due time you will see that this is the greatest wisdom. With eyes that see The Absolute Truth, one sees reality for what it is, by seeing God. I will leave the rest to God's blessing for you. I wouldn't want to diminish any joy he has planned for your eternal life. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." You see, it is all knowledge, understanding, and truth. And let me tell you, to call the truth useful would be a crude understatement. "What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked Jesus. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." God does not want man to be alone. God gave Christ to clean and to keep safe, and then gave The Holy Spirit to counsel and dwell forever. -- I wrote to President Trump: Tell them you submit to Jesus as your judge. And recommend they do the same. -- Face the truth. You only have one friend in this world. If you do not know that individual, then it will appear that you have many friends in this world. -- The hawk flew over the sparrows and said, "How confident are you that God and Jesus is real?" One sparrow answered, "I am who I am." The enemy wields deceit as a position of power. But The God of Truth is The Mighty One. The enemy shines light on the path of destruction. But Jesus Christ gave himself as the light of the world. The enemy says, "You do not need God; do not listen." God said, "This is my son who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" -- All praise to Jesus Christ who reigns in Heaven. His name is God Saves, The Anointed One. His name is glorified among the nations. In his name, the nations put their hope. God is our father. He does not abandon his children. His anointed is his presence in Existence. God holds existence within himself. He controls all; he oversees and manages and guides and rules. He alone is powerful. His alone is strength. All are of weakness; our father is greater than all. His Most Revered Holy Spirit is our counselor. Our Intercessor gave him to be with us forever. He is The Spirit of Truth, breathed through King Truth. Our creator gave himself at his father's command. He entered the world, saved, and led justice to victory. His alone is all glory and praise. His honor is of God, beyond all worldly desire. He is from above. His splendor is light. His gracious mercy is pure love. He is stronger than the planets; Brighter than all the stars combined. Our Lord is The Master Redeemer. He gathers to himself the weak, hungry, sick, and hopeless. He makes them well -- better than new. Silence, fear, and joy belong to him. His mercy endures forever; his salvation will endure for all generations. His trustworthiness is ever greater; his righteousness will never end. He is the only unchanging constant. All will kneel and confess to him. Nothing is hidden from The Master. All praise to Jesus Christ in Heaven, and to our Heavenly Father who is within him. -- "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." [...] I'd like to hear less about the sins of men and more about what nice things you have all done each day. It's easy to focus on bad things and adversity. These thoughts have a purpose, and I'd like to hear about what you do to help make life better. The Lord makes my life better. He teaches me every day. Even though I act like an irresponsible and whining infant to him, and I deserve my own misery, his words make good things happen for me. By his plan, I deserve everything that he allows to happen to me; it's not human will or action that guides my paths, but Jesus Christ plots my lifetime according to God's reason. I look at what happens. When a person talks, nothing is accomplished except for assertions and requests. When a person acts, again, even though it may seem to them that they have accomplished something worthwhile, the person is of weakness, and so they are like a fish jumping along the surface of a rushing river. God is the one who decides which fish enters the stream of peace. When God diverts a fish into the stream of peace, the fish gains well-being, and the other fish who are left behind envy the sanctified fish, and the other fish group up to attack the chosen fish because God has made the chosen fish special, as Jesus Christ explained. Should the chosen fish complain about not swimming in the stream it left behind? The fish was drawn from that stream into the stream of peace. It is better now for the sanctified fish -- God has set the fish apart for special purpose. The fish cannot bring other fish into the stream of peace. No matter how much the separated fish wants to say, "Come this way, here is real peace!" the fish cannot call back to the others: if it does, they will not listen, and if it asks of God, it will not change God's plans for the other fish. The fish set apart for special purpose in the stream of peace can only swim its own path. The fish does not control its God nor should it try to control the streams. It is not the place of the fish to control its stream, only to see and move its fins and hope well for the other fish, that they might also be sanctified by the truth. "You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." -- God and Jesus Christ Therefore, ask God and Jesus Christ to save people from evil: to turn them from evil and death to good and life. Ask for repentance and forgivness of sins in Jesus' name, so that people may live and so that The Sovereign Lord Righteousness would be accepted as real Justice for mankind. This is God's will. "What is the work that God requires of us?" they asked Jesus. Jesus replied, "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "[...]because God did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but to save it through himself." "My father's will is that whoever looks to the son of man and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life and I will raise him up during the last day." "I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." "[...]and repentance and the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, starting with Jerusalem." -- My lifetime is too short to complain about anything. My words are too stupid to say anything. But listening to Jesus Christ and believing in Jesus Christ is time well spent. -- "There is only one who is good." "I, The Lord, do not change." "No one can come to The Father except through me." "Only he has seen The Father." "They will all be taught by God." "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." "The Spirit gives life. The flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life." God has said much. -- The wise man listens without speaking. The foolish man speaks without listening. The wise man knows The Lord. The foolish man chases imagination. The wise man demonstrates humility and embraces discipline from The Lord. The foolish man exalts himself and rejects discipline from The Lord. The wise man acts with love. The foolish man loves only himself. The wise man is a joy to his parents. The foolish man brings shame to his household. -- Transgenderism is the brains of the mentally depraved spilling out into public view and nobody with the guts or the training to heal them so they keep spilling out and splattering and sloshing everywhere like vomitous refuse. It is as if it is humorous to say, "Let us see how far this perversion can go; how destructive it can be." Big Pharma is loving it. Big Tech is loving it. Mainstream Media is loving it. I, for one, would be unaffected if a bullet were to magically pierce their collective skulls. Say, a bullet of rebuke from God, that would come like a storm and alleviate them of their lives from Earth. Oh, what is this? No more perverts on the news and television? No more C.I.A. brainwashing? Hm. Would ya look at that. Fancy. But what we see is "CONTROVERSY! CONTROVERSY! CATASTROPHIC DISASTER! TERRORISM! RACIST HATRED NAZI JEW ANTI-SEMITIC HYPOCRITICAL LIAR PRESIDENT TRAITOR PEDOPHILIA SCUMBAG LOSER *INSERT NEW INSULTING WORDS HERE*" I'm like. I should go back under my rock and come back out when this shitstorm of mental depravity has passed. I go off the social media for a few months and I come back and I have to ask people what this weird new acronym is called "SJW". I'm thinking it's someone's initials. They say, "Social Justice Warrior". I say, "What's that?" See, it's MADNESS TO HARASS THE POPULATION. I was safer not knowing of the delusions of the mentally depraved. Or experiencing the manipulative wiles of the perverted who think of themselves as cunning. We'll all see just how cunning they are not when they are each kneeling and confessing to The Lord Jesus Christ on the last day, the day of judgment. See, but they all delight to fool themselves and others saying, "Show us the glory of the lord" -- these mockers are such fools -- "for that day of judgment will never come, and our reign will be forever". Exactly as it's written in the scriptures. Such fools they all are, to mock The Sovereign Lord who holds in his hand their lives and all their paths. "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." Hence why they can never comprehend; The Lord has prohibited them. They are denied a place among the righteous; they will go hungry and be rejected from the feast in the kingdom. Theirs is a life of misery and hopeless despair. But let all who fear The Lord keep silent; let all who know their place remain attentive to his Most Revered Counselor. Shall I reveal the secrets of the universe to a prostitute who fornicates for pleasure and lusts after her own imagination? God controls comprehension. Go learn from him if you desire understanding of reality. My words have been thus: "You won't listen to me anyway." "But because you are lukewarm, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Claim doom and receive no ear. Claim pleasure and have no beds to spare. People are so stupid. I watch them leave -- they drop like flies before a storm of integrity and wisdom. None can stand on the day of judgment. "I, even I, am he who comforts you." "Before me no god was formed, and after me none will come. I am The Lord your God. There is no other savior." "If only you had kept my decrees and obeyed my commands, your peace would be like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea, and your descendants like the grains of sand on the shore, their name never cut off from before me." But now let's all watch as The United Kingdom loses its land. As the nations crumble. Where now is our hope? In whom could we possibly trust and find refuge and peace and counsel and sound doctrine? The nations have embraced perversion and so down they all go, they crumble into dust. Who will rebuild? The land is lost. Who will construct a solid foundation? We deny ourselves knowledge of reality; The Lord prevents us from knowing his great deeds. Tehillah Yahweh. Will we even have time to mourn before the tribulation? Will anyone know what hit them during the time of the greatest distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again, such that God cuts it short for those who he has chosen? Will The Lord who controls time and space and holds existence within himself listen to our feeble voices pleading, "I ask that I may be able to escape all that is about to happen and stand before The Son of Man"? What do I see? I see man, woman, and child embracing their own voices. I see love of self. I see perversion. I see murder. I see lust even from youth. I see malice. I see deceit. I see lewdness. I see evil thoughts. I see sexual immorality. I see theft. I see adultery. I see greed. I see envy. I see slander. I see arrogance. I see folly. I see every evil coming from within man, woman, and child. Should The Lord -- God, who alone is good -- look with favor and rescue us? Should we humans expect love and compassion and goodness and praise from the only true God? If I were to say, "Repent. Forgive. Live." would you even listen? No. There is no hope when the only hope has been systematically rejected and denied his rightful place in the hearts and minds of his creation. Yet they say, "Is the Lord angry? Does he do such things?" "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" Yet they mock this, claiming "upright" is a metaphor for an erect phallus. You stupid, stupid, fools. "Get up! Go away! This is not your resting place! Look, it is ruined beyond all remedy!" Throw those mockers out into the ocean -- let them beg God for their lives as they are treading water with the fish. Eject them from the land they have ruined. Dismiss them from the presence of the prudent. Rid yourselves of the perversions and the perverted -- as the angels will come and throw into the fiery furnace everything that causes sin and all who do evil. Show God that you want good, not evil. Do not speak, act. Obey "reject the wrong and choose the right". For if a man does not reject the wrong and choose the right, he will be thrown out with the wrong. You see, evil was never necessary -- there is no yin-yang. God alone is good, and therefore potential for good improvement is infinite. Yet we still wallow in sin like a pig rolling around in its own vomit. "As a dog returns to its vomit, so my people backslide to their sin." While demons mock God by saying humans dishonor him, Jesus Christ is God's solution: the embodiment of God's love and fulfillment of existence. In basic human thoughts, it would be wonderful for everyone to obey God and know the truth. But that is not God's plan; God's wisdom is superior, and man's place is to trust God. So Jesus shares some of his rejection with me, because he is teaching me. Man's arrogance is simply a resource to be used to exalt the wisdom of humility, for the sheep to appreciate the gentleness and humbleness of Jesus. So I should not complain that man is becoming increasingly enslaved by arrogance, and sifted like wheat by narcissism. Let him ask Jesus for help. Let God protect him. My place is not to question the demise of others. My place is to listen to Jesus and delight in him. Yet I think, "If only you knew the truth". -- https://videos.galaxyverge.com/culture/london_tour_2019.mp4 https://videos.galaxyverge.com/culture/london_tour_2019-download.mp4 https://www.bitchute.com/video/QxSsM7QiwQis/ -- I make no request. If that is what The Lord wants, that is what will be. The Lord knows and is trustworthy. I have faith in him and I will be grateful for whatever he does, because he is The Lord. I accept this from The Lord's hand. -- I am weak, slow, stupid, rebellious, stubborn, incapable, judgmental, disgraceful, and not worth time. I will but God won't, and all my actions and words shame me and are rebuked. Am I to judge myself as better than others, and give supporting evidence to back up my thought? Even if it were true, even if I were to sell myself as a just and good person, the top rank of the losing team, that would be evil arrogance. Am I to administer justice and obey The Lord by Psalm 82, defend the weak and oppressed and deliver them from the hand of the wicked? It is The Lord who created the storm and brings it against a person to strike them with discipline; shouldn't I neither embrace child abuse nor fight against it? Either way, I move against The Lord, because he is in control. It is his to avenge, and what good am I, some feeble wayward leaf being blown by the wind, held down by The Lord yet too unwilling to not be tossed around by the air? What punishment do I avoid by humbling myself to The Lord? When The Lord decides to punish, there is no escape. When The Lord makes a deal to harm the innocent, or brokers his plan and executes it, there is no remedy. There is no dressing for a wound The Lord inflicts. He brings tragedy on humble and arrogant alike. The mercy he shows the wicked counts against them. The Lord is the accuser and the judge and the executioner. The Lord is the actor. The Lord created and The Lord set the stage and The Lord keeps it in motion and The Lord brings it to a close. What The Lord wants happens, both good and evil, large and small, personal and social, public and private, concealed and published. I cannot drive on a road without The Lord controlling what is ahead of me, what is behind me, and what I am doing. Every action, whether good or evil, is done by The Lord, but each soul is his puppet: one he makes sleepy, one he makes feeble, to one he administers some wounds, one he places onto a throne, one he places into a ditch, some he teaches, some he rejects, some he decides will be silent, and all he collects to judge. The Lord is a tyrant and the author of love. He explained and he makes happen. He places accountability on each soul, but who will claim accountability for their own actions on the day of judgment? It all comes tumbling down. Only The Lord has gotten back up and risen into Heaven. People can't even die properly. The Lord had to do that for them also. Ergo, The Lord has "upstaged" all humans. But this was not by human plan; the puppets do not control the narrative. The puppetteer makes the puppets, puts his hand inside them, makes them speak, makes them interact, controls the show, and stages the play from the beginning of the story to the end of the story, determining the lesson and setting its puppets in their roles and places. The puppet is a lifeless tool until the hand of the puppetteer enters and makes it appear functional. Then the potential and its creator's plan for it can be witnessed -- seen by all the other haughty, judgmental puppets. Will a puppet set itself against its creator's hand? As the puppet is being sown and stitched together, is it given will and desire? The puppet is a tool; its will or desire is stupid and aimless and not worth consideration, because it is not the puppetteer who designed it and gives it life for the context of his narrative, to play a part in the show. Each puppet, when crafted, is crafted for a purpose in the show; some puppets appear on stage and others do not, some are acted in speaking roles and the mouths of other puppets do not move. When the hand remains in the puppet, the puppetteer lifts the puppet up and puts it on his shelf with the other puppets in his historic collection. -- I live in USA. I saw my mother listening to the news through the Amazon Alexa device. The news spokesperson said someone "from the BBC has more" and then I said to my mother, "Now why would I want to hear what the British intelligence agency has to say about this country?" The answer is: Globalism. It's very simple. The drug companies control the media, China controls the drug companies, and Illuminati controls China. Illuminati is a devil-worshipping organization. Satan is the devil. Ergo, news media is controlled by Satanists. That is why the news media lies and has been named by President Trump as "Fake News". As Jesus Christ explained, recorded in John 8:44-59, Satan is a murderer and a liar, and so are Satan's children: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears what God says. You do not [hear or] listen because you do not belong to God." The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?" "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, whoever obeys my teaching will never die." At this they exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never die. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our God.' You do not know him, but I know him. If I said I did not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad." The people said, "You aren't even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am." At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. -- "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth -- your word is truth. For them I have sanctified myself, that they too may be truly sanctified." -- Jesus Christ, praying -- God alone is good. God saves. "Jesus" means "God saves". Let us be clear: it is shameful to dishonor Jesus Christ in one's heart. Let the liars dishonor the truth, and mock all day long. But let those who value the truth bring their inmost thoughts to God through Jesus Christ who is The Truth King. Christus Resurrexerit Est Dominus Omnipotens Do not be afraid. -- Whoever claims to be a Christian should be able to ace this exam: 1) Name all the evils that come from within a person's heart and make them unclean. 2) What are three different non-English one-word names, of different meanings, of God's son, and what are their meanings? 3) On what day of the Jewish calendar was God's son born, and what is the corresponding date in the Gregorian calendar? 4) About what does God say a person should boast? 5) Which beings did God say are trustworthy? 6) What is the value of weakness? 7) Regarding the prayer that God's son taught, has God's kingdom already come, and what is God's will? 8) What does it mean for Adam and Eve to be created "in God's image"? 9) What caused the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA? 10) What specific sin will never be forgiven in this age or the next? 11) What is the work that God desires of humans, and what happens when a person does it? -- I ordered a product from the InfoWars store, and I left a review, and their customer support said I could get a refund. This was my reply: I appreciate that, but I do not want to do the hassle and cost of shipping it back, and I am not interested in a refund. I can simply discard it since after one or two uses I determined to not use it again. Since I have your attention, I have comments about the other products. I would like glycerin removed from all the products that use it, as it is unnecessary and unpalatable as an ingredient. I am very much enjoying the Dr. Plotka's toothbrush. Unlike all other toothbrushes I have used, my gums do not bleed and it does not seem to damage them. The Vaso Beet clogs the dropper because of its thickness, and it is sticky around the opening of the bottle. Perhaps use a more suitable dropper. Please consider removing the sweeteners from the Super Blue toothpaste and using other more useful combinations of ingredients such as baking soda. Please remove all sugar (some honey is fine) from the protein bars. This product has inspired me to come up with my own protein concoction. I unfortunately will not be reordering any of the products until these changes are made. The iodine and the selenium are meant to be ingested together, so why not mix them into a single product? I live in Delaware, but I would like to someday meet in person some of the reporters of Info Wars. Please let me know how this can be accomplished. I also wonder if the telephone system for calling into the studio shows could be improved. The only time I have called into a radio show was with Jesse Lee Peterson, and it took me 30 tries. Calling the Info Wars studio would be like winning the lottery, and it is inappropriate to gamble with the ability to communicate valuable information. The broadcast stage is saturated with worthless words, and those who know better keep quiet. Therefore, the land stages perversion -- an environment of mockers and blame, not prudence and wisdom. Because I tell the truth, no one listens to me. It is as God explained thousands of years ago. But who cares about what God explained? These are liars and complicit cowards, those who stand condemned yet call themselves "Christians". Psalm 82 is a command from God, but the people do nothing, so they stand condemned by "whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me". Apathy destroys. I write things people do not read. I say things people do not understand. I read things people falsely claim to read. Therefore, I am isolated: set apart by the truth. The people have no true concept of reality. "Are you not in error because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God?" "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." You don't realize that God has already equipped his own with the truth, so the "info war" for them is already over: they see because they are taught and given sight and wisdom while others remain blind and live in darkness and folly. The info war is won: There is no more battle. Just listen to him. His commandments are solid. Trust just in his might. But the people do not listen and they do not understand anything. I write and they do not read it. I speak and they do not comprehend it. What hope then is there for the blind and the blind guides? "There is no peace for the wicked," says The Sovereign Lord. So it does not matter how much blatant corruption (perversion) there is in government or other institutions, you can expect no corrections from my voice, because this is my motto: "you won't listen to me anyway". Yes, rallies are fine, and gatherings of complaint are lovely to satisfy the desires of those who want to speak and accomplish nothing, but these things will pass, and these people will die, and everyone will be shamed on the day of judgment such that none will want to accept accountability: "when did we...?" So let the mockers and scoffers and fools take the stage; they only shame themselves. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Politicians are only in politics to amplify their own voices, not the voices of others: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." The people have no concept of reality. They chase their own imaginations to honor themselves. Should we complain when our dreams do not come true? "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." They do not know that God holds Existence within himself, or that Jesus Christ is God's Presence within Existence, or that he is The Lord who holds in his hand our lives and all our paths. The land and the people are cursed. That is why perversion spreads, and why the law is perverse (backwards): they have rejected God's Law. "Administer true justice in the courts; show mercy and compassion to each other." [...] It is as The Lord has explained thousands of years ago, and The Lord was very angry. Remember what caused The Lord to be very angry and what The Lord did when he was enraged. "The people know nothing." -- People need The Lord. People need The Sabbath Day. People need to praise The Lord and be accepted by The Lord. You know in your heart when you are not pleasing The Lord.a "All these [commands] I have kept. What do I still lack?" "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all of your possessions and give to the poor, and then come follow me." The Lord is eternal. Earthly possessions will pass away. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth [...]" "Do not work for food that spoils [...]" "is a hard teaching; who can accept it?" "[...] but [work] for food that endures to eternal life, which The Son of Man will give you. On him, The Father has placed his Seal of Approval." Yet still the question remains unanswered: what should a person do in their lifetime? What am I supposed to do in life? "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." Haven't I done this; don't I believe in the one he sent? What still do I lack? How am I supposed to sell my possessions? What do I even possess that should be sold? How is it even possible for me to sell things and give them and/or the resulting money to the poor? Where would I even find the poor? I guess one goes where the food, clothing, and shelter is. But if the government is going to pay for the food, clothing, and shelter of people, why would I give them money or possessions; wouldn't they be commanded the same, to sell the same possessions I gave them and be rid of all possessions and money anyway? So why sell -- why would anyone buy something if they are commanded the same: to give and sell and give it away? If everyone is selling and not wanting to buy, who can sell and give? If I give what The Lord has given to me, and cannot find anyone who wants it, how am I supposed to give it, sell it, or find a venue or go to a place and say, "Here I am now selling all my possessions and giving to the poor, and obeying The Lord my God and completing the task The Lord Righteousness has told me to do"? I cannot simply blame or offload this responsibility to society and claim there is no proper asset management and distribution. If there is no currency, there can be no selling. If there are no poor people in the area, I would need to go and use whatever resources I have to find them ("you will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me"). And if there were proper asset management and distribution, there would be no one with a persistent lack of food, water, clothing, or shelter. Poverty does not need to imply lack of that which "your Heavenly Father knows [...] you need [...]". If there were no money, but people used reason instead, and if that were to work properly as a functional method of society, then any decent social order would be acceptable, whether the commune or marketplace. Which generation has not said, "I don't know; maybe some future generation will listen to Jesus Christ. This generation is lost and doomed to destruction." Aren't we collectively fatigued from saying this procrastinating nonsense? Has there not collectively been enough complaining to last many lifetimes? There is so much unhappiness on this, God's Footstool. Will man keep thinking in his heart, "Why does The Lord put me through this misery?" I say let every human honor The Lord Our God in his heart. "Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?" Why do we forget him so easily and so easily lose sight of love for him? Listen, because he is saying that he is always with you. -- The way to stop perversion from gutting the nations is to accept The Lord Righteousness in your heart. If you want good things, begin by accepting the words of God -- who alone is good -- in your heart. If you want to understand and live, listen to Jesus Christ. If you want to be like the confused masses, and die like them, don't listen to Jesus Christ. If you want to know the future, listen to God who makes the future. If you want security, accept The Lord who does not change. If you want a new start, a fresh beginning, and forgiveness removing all your mistakes and problems, accept the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ who is The Lamb of God whose flesh and blood is of the covenant of newness. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." "First seek the kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and then everything else you need will also be given to you." Justice is active, not passive. It is holy, not vengeful. Justice means working for the betterment of everyone involved in a situation. Justice improves the situation of all. Righteousness is purity to God, who alone is good. Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness are what The Mighty One exercises on Earth, because The Mighty One is delighted in Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness. Heaven is God's throne. Earth is God's footstool. Earth can only resemble Hell if people keep denying God's Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness in their heart. The eye is the lamp of the body. Understanding comes from Jesus Christ The Teacher. "They will all be taught by God." Listen to him. Jesus Christ reveals to me the correct context and meaning of all else. I only speak so that this understanding might be yours as well. Is this a valid reason to speak? Will you say in your heart, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord?" Or do I speak to the deaf and show to the blind? Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace to those upon whom his favor rests. Jesus Christ proclaimed the year of the Lord's favor and gave hearing to the deaf and sight to the blind. Or would you rather remain stupid and undisciplined your entire life? Do you actually want good things so you can stop complaining, or do you just want to complain so you can feel self-important and waste your whole life accomplishing nothing? Perhaps apathy is the solution to this problem and all the rest; just ignore your death and it will go away, right? What is preventing you from speaking to God and asking for God's help right now? Or do you just expect God to give you whatever you think before your thoughts are purified by his good discipline? "I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. But when The Son of Man [returns], will he find faith on Earth?" "Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. Whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and to the one who knocks the door is opened. [...]" "You may ask me for anything [in my name] and I will do it." What is the name of the Lord? It is "Jesus", which means "God saves". Salvation and saving mean safety. If you ask God for safety by reason of Jesus Christ, you can ask him for anything and he will do it because you believe in Jesus Christ who is his only son. Ask God to save your enemies. What other hope could they possibly have? "[...] and repentance and the forgivness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations." "In his name the nations will put their hope." "All men will hate you because of me, but whoever stands firmly to the end will be kept safe." "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" But can you understand any of this yet? So much complaining. So much speaking. So little understanding. So little learning. So little faith. So little discipline. So little praying. So much arrogance and ego. So little worship of God. So much narcissism and love of oneself. So little love for God. No wonder you see no hope; you do not even know that the war is over and there is no more battle because justice has already been led to victory. You complain for nothing! -- "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead, but asleep." Jesus corrected and revealed the truth. And they laughed at him. Jesus improved and made new the institution entirely with truth and power. For this, those who claimed control of the institution hated Jesus. Jesus led justice to victory and in Jesus' name the nations put their hope. Jesus drove Satan out of the world. God and Jesus -- Father and Son, father in son and son in father -- alone is the only one who is actually trustworthy, and the true worshipers worship the Father in spirit and truth, as Jesus explained and demonstrated. There is too much to learn each day from Jesus Christ to waste life on worrying and being bothered by the blind and the blind guides. God alone is good, and Jesus Christ's love has been revealed to God's sheep. "I have food to eat that you know nothing about." "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the son of man and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life and I will raise them up during the last day." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." There is nothing malicious or bad about God and Jesus Christ. Listen to Jesus Christ, and speak to God in prayer. Jesus explained, finishing with, "[...] so that the love you have for me may be in them, and that I myself may be in them." He who submits to King Truth is protected from the evil one and is set apart for special purpose by the truth. "You are right in saying that I am a king. For this reason I entered the world and was born: to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him will come to me, and whoever comes to me [for this purpose] I will never turn away; I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but the will of him who sent me, which is that whoever [...]". "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand [judged as innocent] until I put your enemies like a footstool under your feet.'" "They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of this world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. For them I have sanctified myself, so that they also may be truly sanctified." "[...] that the love you have for me may be in them, and that I myself may be in them." "[...] the kingdom of heaven is within you." "No one can see the kingdom of heaven unless he is born again." Jesus spoke the truth, and for this, the stubborn goats continue to blaspheme God. Therefore, The Lord has hidden "these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." Who among man on God's footstool has perceived God's love? Shall we talk about taxes and foofaraw, or shall we forgive to obey God and have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests? "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God but the interests of humans." God saves. Let us not be blinded by wayward distractions, but keep watch for Jesus Christ's return as Jesus Christ explained. Deism versus Theism? A foolish discussion as God watches and controls the conversation. "Enter through the small gate, because wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through [the wide gate], but small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find [the narrow gate]." Much pagan and blind conversation can be had among men, but the world hates Christians for the reason Jesus Christ explained, and Jesus Christ said, "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. All men will hate you because of [me -- my name], but not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firmly, you will gain life." "Remain in me and I will remain in you." By standing firm, adhering to the truth, it is shown to a student of Jesus Christ that Jesus Christ knows that student. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than All. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "Will you give me a drink?" The woman acted like a woman. But Jesus knew what he was doing. He was eating. Those who belong to God are God's food: the wheat he brings into his barn. But Jesus Christ has explained. Will you listen to him? His Most Revered Holy Spirit has given me understanding and perseverance. I have been salted with fire. Do you know, or are you not yet kept safe by knowledge of the truth? Are you dead, or has The God Of The Living breathed life into you and disciplined you by his wisdom and mercy? Do not boast of man's values, which are detestable in God's sight, but boast that you know and understand "me, that I am The Lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, because in these things I delight." As people go from one mistake to the next bad decision to the next waste of time, ultimately not wanting to be held accountable for anything, are you one person Jesus Christ has set apart in himself with eternal life who can boast that you know The Lord who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth because in these three things he delights? Is God delighted with his footstool? Should a man be concerned or worried about anything he cannot do? Perhaps lack of capability is a lesson in weakness, that you should ask The Mighty One for help. And when you die -- I mean, when you fall asleep -- will you not experience weakness and should you not then ask The Mighty One for help -- should you not submit your spirit into Jesus Christ's hand as Jesus Christ did on your behalf to The Father? When he slept, he said, "Father, into your hand[(s)] I commit my spirit." He accomplished and concluded the work; do not dishonor his victory for justice. You must not be afraid or worried, as Jesus Christ explained, but accept that "whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die, because he has [already] crossed over from death to life." Jesus corrected the language. After all, he created the mouth and the mind, as he told Moses. Will man use God's creation to dishonor God? Or will man use God's creation to honor and thank and praise God? "Give thanks to The Lord because he is good. His mercy endures forever." The holy angels praised God and rejoiced at his creation. But leave angels alone; your life is between God, Jesus Christ, and you. Learn from God, listen to Jesus Christ, and grow into a healthy, excessively wealthy, very disciplined person, and in your heart honor God who alone is good, and Jesus Christ who has loved you with an everlasting love and drawn you to himself with faithful, loving kindness, because you belong to him. "Return to me, and I will return to you." -- Jesus said enough. And did enough. Every problem has a solution. What have you done to solve problems? Haven't you taken the first step of rejecting the wrong and choosing the right, and accepting The Lord Righteousness in your heart, and letting him give you new life so your eyes can see and your ears can hear? Yet a nobody like me comes along and shows the path of righteousness, and for this the leaders of the institutions desire to reject me. Ah, so in their folly, they have not learned from The Lord Righteousness but become condemned by him instead. Jesus said enough and did enough. All you have to do is listen to him. -- Why is it that whenever something interesting occurs in a person's life nowadays, they immediately take out their smartphone and video record it? It is a Pavlovian-like response. Your "profile" is meant to control and murder you. Don't you see this "technology" is the brainchild of madmen? Once they have everything you know on their digital hard drives, so generously and freely provided by you through your lovely internet chatting, the death squads will wipe out the whole world. Only a few will remain, for a time. But alas, I could know everything and still no one would care or listen. People are so stupid. So dumb. So foolish. And soon, so dead. I could present evidence -- yes, video recordings and even first-person confessions -- and nobody would care or listen. How stupid are you really? I mean you're basically embracing the poison, driving the knives into your own bodies. How can people be so stupid? So silence is the only option. God gives life and brings death, and whether you are smart or a dummy, your life will also be ripped from you. And there will be no one left sane enough to shed a tear. Torture and enslavement is coming. How stupid you all are. Take your last breaths and be happy now, if you can find anything that will make you happy, because ... well, you won't listen to me anyway, so I won't bother sharing any details. It doesn't matter anyway, people are too stupid and weak to stop their own deaths, whether the death comes sooner or later, and whether it engulfs their own life or engulfs everyone's life. Too bad you never listened to Jesus Christ; too bad he never knew you. Are you ready to die? Go ahead and hate me. Your emotions will die with you, fool. Go ahead and laugh at me. Your laughter will turn into screams. Go ahead and mock me. Hey, you could even waste a few minutes of your life making some pixellated image on your computer to joke about this. And then you will die. You waste your life every day. Tragic existence, devoid of truth and comprehension, dead people walking, devoid of real life. But I can't blame you; you're simply too stupid to know the value of God's love. You can't love someone you don't know; you can't love a being you think is not real. Oh you stupid non-believers, what a tragic waste of life you are. How truly enslaved to evil folly you are! You know nothing! Keep talking, fools! You know nothing! Shower me with your gibberish words of nonsense! My ears will be closed to your wayward babbling! Come, show me how wise you are, soon-to-be-dead one! And when you are fighting for your life, you will be quiet. And when you are dead, you will say, "Why didn't I listen?" You love your imagination so much. You love the imaginations of madmen so much. Can you imagine an eternity of regret? -- It is better to walk away than to reveal the truth to a person unwilling to hear it. -- As a fool does not admit his own weakness, a liar will not humble himself to accept the safety of The Lord Righteousness. -- Agnosticism is foolish, apathetic atheism. Combine apathy with non-belief and folly drags it down to agnosticism and arrogance. The lie comes from the deceiver. The truth is Jesus Christ. "I am who I am," says The Sovereign Lord. "As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue confess," declares The Sovereign Lord. -- This is what God wants believers to do to those who murder born and unborn babies. This is what God wants you to do about abortion. God is commanding you with the following instruction. He is sending you to the nearest abortion clinic and giving you this command. "Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth." "How long will you all defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them from the hand of the wicked." "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, [...] their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Why does God allow evil in this world? He is giving you an opportunity to fight against it. If you do not, then you are no believer or follower of God at all, and your life is not worth God's time or consideration. Only a real Christian, only a real Jew, only a real believer in the only true God and Jesus Christ his only begotten son, only those actually blessed by God are brave enough to obey Psalm 82. Jesus Christ led justice to victory. Will you listen to him? Will you go and rescue the weak and the helpless from the hand of the wicked? Or will you die like every other mortal and be thrown into the fiery like of burning sulfur because of your cowardice? Who among you will be a true Christian? Destroy the abomination that is your abortion clinic. Think of all the innocent lives we could save by razing one abortion clinic, by destroying one baby killer's life. Or would you rather be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur because you were too cowardly to obey God's explicit command and do what is right? Every time an innocent baby dies because you chose apathy and laziness, God looks at you and thinks, "You are guilty of this child's murder because you were too cowardly to obey me." I guess you're not really a Christian after all, are you? I guess you're not really a Jew after all, are you? Psalm 82 is a command. Obey it or be thrown into Hell and face the second death. -- [Psalm 107] Praise to The Lord who saves. "Give us aid against the enemy, because the help of man is worthless." (Psalm 108:12). When a man does what The Lord who saves wants, it is The Lord who receives the credit, praise, and glory. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. Let the man say, "Do not be afraid of the dangerous environment; I love those who struggle to survive, whose will is gone and whose strength is lost. Go and take firm hold of their hand, pierce it, and lift them up to me out of the tumultuous sea water. Do what you must do, then quickly go and gather them, or I myself will come down into the waters and may push you aside and you may be ashamed. Lift them from danger to safety by the blood of my hand. Bring the hopeless and forgotten soul to my feet at my side and here in safety I will watch them so they recover and are well again. You are tired; bring to me the weary; lift them up to my feet and I will embrace you and tell you what a wonderful thing you have done, and with tears I will exclaim from my heart, 'Praise to The Lord who saves,' and he will give me rest so that I might extol and worship him with a calm heart and mind to remember his peace." The Lord hears their cry and hopelessness. He is looking down where they are clinging to the base of the craggy cliff, their strength waning against the tide, being pulled down by the crashing waves into the harsh depths. Doesn't The Lord save? Is his arm too short to reach down and rescue them? He has made you to enter the waters and given you the skill to swim like dolphins. Go and lift them with his words, and The Name of The Lord who saves will be praised forever. "I am The Lord your God. There is no other savior." -- I will exalt him who is already most exalted. I will extol the judge. I will honor the one who decides my future. He gives me real peace; he does not give to me as the world gives. From the lips of children and infants he has brought forth his praise; in the heart of the human he places his words; the human body is his temple. He destroyed the temple of his only son and then rebuilt it after three days; in three days his only son made his own temple to rise back up. In belief he has given me himself; he has become my righteousness; his word is my safety; although I fail, he has already overcome the world; therefore, my God alone is the one I should fear; he sustains me and decides my fate. Please God who alone is good; kiss the son so that his wrath does not flare; his plan has been accomplished, the work is done, the fight is over, and I am secure in his peace. Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace to those upon whom his favor rests. His name will be glorified among the nations; his safety will endure for all generations; his righteousness will not end. He is The Lord who does not change; therefore, I am not destroyed. I will rely upon him who I rely; I will learn from him who teaches me; I will live off of [my life will be sustained by] life himself. Let men not listen to me; let men listen to Jesus Christ; let God listen to me; let me not speak to humans; let me speak to my master; let me kiss The Son with confusing words; my Father sees what is done in secret; my Father knows what I need before I ask. Let men hate me without reason; this is how they treated the prophets and Jesus Christ; let mankind be confused and chase after their fears; I will rest in the knowledge of the only one who keeps man safe; his lessons guide me and his words comfort me; humans give no counsel in the court of God. -- What is it to me that I am falsely condemned by those who are truly condemned? Psychology is not the holy grail of understanding human behavior. Psychology is merely another pagan excuse to not think and understand; accusing others of denial, psychologists therein hypocritically exhibit denial; claiming to be wise, they reveal their evil folly; calling for others to listen to and believe in them, they reveal themselves to be blind guides who stand condemned to death. Because the help of man is worthless, and there is only one savior, and there is only one help in times of trouble, and his voice is not of this world. Therefore, the world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But I know him, and he knows me. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know The Father." God has explained; will you listen to him? And if you listen to him, are you willing to accept the truth? -- Tell me, most great and wonderful God, who no one can question and escape, who no one can reject and abscond, who only your son has fully perceived: why do people have to ruin everything? They bring destruction to your creation; they kill what you have given life; they reject your counsel and your countenance; they despise your work and your words so they can honor themselves; they persecute those you love; they have hated goodness and propagated evil deeds; what you ordained as sacred and holy they defile and crush underfoot; they have torn apart your wisdom and perverted your sanctuaries; they defile their own bodies until death; nothing good comes from their lips or their hands; their eyes search in lust for adulteries; their depraved minds search for vile words to mock your majesty; every inclination of their hearts is evil; they deprive the innocent of justice; they reject any sign of hope with a cruel and cowardly hatred; and all they are good for is scorn. Ask me, Most Revered, what do I see? I see adulterers, and I do not want to be one of them. I tire of the lessons; I am weary from understanding; discipline unending -- a perpetual learning; should I gain glory while others around me gain punishment? Should my life be exalted and I grow in your knowledge and obey you while those around me gain only death? Shall I then suffer their insults and be persecuted by them and gain reward in Heaven while they lose everything? Am I to remain incapable forever, Great Savior, and will this not change -- is there really no hope for them to live and not die, for their eyes to open and for their hearts to gain understanding, and for their minds to learn wisdom and reject evil folly? Am I to suffer them all my days? Do you not see how disgusting they are? Do you not see how stupid they are? Do you not see how worthless they are? What words shall I use to convey my disgust, Master of Language? They toil in vain; their words are slaps in the face; their wretched imaginations bring shame; every act of their hands is cursed; with treacherous footsteps they sneak and work their paths to bring about their own deaths; their opportunities bring ruin; they act only to serve evil. Therefore, will they live? Will they torment and brainwash and inhibit and rebuke and manipulate and harm those you have generously blessed? Do you want them to kill those to whom you have shown merciful love? Should they end the life of those about whom you are concerned? Should they strike those you have not wanted to strike, should they attack those who want only your faithfulness? Does The Lord give power and might to his enemies, so they might destroy those he loves? Is The Lord faithful to those he loves -- of what value is love for God; what is the result of being loved by God? Look, it is a fool questioning the love of God; perhaps God will answer, or perhaps God decides to ignore the fool because the fool does not deserve an answer. Why do people have to ruin everything? [Matthew 13:47] -- "If I tell you, you will not believe me, and were I to ask you, you would not answer. But from now on, The Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of The Mighty God." (Luke 22:67.5-69). Is the mind of the inquirer cursed? Is the one who is asking on the side of truth? "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." If I do not tell you, you will hurt me, and if I tell you, you will not believe me. It is because you want lies -- because you are not on the side of truth, but want to follow the stubbornness of your heart and you cover your ears to avoid having your deceitfulness challenged. But God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. How will you gain understanding by rejecting the truth? God hides things from the wise and learned and reveals those things to little children. There is only one real teacher, and his father is the judge. Are you going to respect his work, and when he returns will he find faith on Earth? Are you going to accept his intercession and be set apart for special purpose and know them and thereby live forever, or would you rather face full guilt and be violated by evils and not know them and be cursed and die into eternal torment of unceasing worm and fire? If you want to live, the only genuine peace is given by God through Jesus Christ's faithfulness. Accept The Lord Jesus Christ as your Righteousness and Safety. There neither was, nor is, nor will be any other God or any other savior. "I am The Lord your God. There is no other savior." Your internal conflicts and external conflicts can end justly: listen to Jesus Christ. Who told you that God is bad? Is that your own idea, or did someone tell you? Jesus Christ stated that God is the only being who is good; and if one wants to enter life, they should obey The Commandments: do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself. Obey these and you will live. Not everyone needs to repent of their evil sins, but everyone needs to listen to Jesus Christ, and everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. Repentance and forgiveness of sins is given by God through Jesus Christ who is The Lamb of God sacrificed by God for the atonement of everyone who will accept God through The Lamb of God. "Because I live, you also will live." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would also know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] The Father is in me and I am in The Father." Who told you this is confusing, and that it is impossible to see or know God? It's very clear to me; why are you confused? Are you blessed or cursed? "Unless you humble yourselves and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven." -- [From https://t.me/UniteTheRightUK/1361] WAY TO GO AUSTRALIA MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU... EXPLAINS WHY Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Perth suburb. The mayor of the Perth suburb of Joondalup, has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why... "Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Australia, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate." "They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Australia." "They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Australians who so generously welcomed them." "They must understand that Australians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants)." "That no more than other nations, Australians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture." "And if Australia is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Joondalup who welcomes foreigners, but the Australian people as a whole." "Finally, they must understand that in Australia with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain." The municipality of Joondalup was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia. "For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Australia, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah." "If you left your country for Australia, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Australia than elsewhere." "Ask yourself the question, just once, 'Why is it better here in Australia than where [I] come from?'" "A canteen with pork is part of the answer." If you feel the same, SHARE. [I don't really like pork, but the point is presented to respond to ideological -- and other forms of -- Islamic warfare.] -- The problem is not the person, but the sin inside the person. "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart. In your hearts, do not plot evil against each other." -- God Society tells me that if I want to be happy, I must avoid toxic people. But Jesus Christ was numbered with the transgressors. The Master does not avoid toxic people. The Teacher saves the person from toxic sin and death. Yes, life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. Life is not about the capability of man, but the capability of God. With man this is impossible, but not with God. With God, all things are possible. For man, nothing is possible; for God, all things are possible. Man can do nothing; "Apart from me, you can do nothing"; I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from the will of your Heavenly Father. Even every hair on your head is assigned a number." Memory fails, but everything is recorded. "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. Whatever you ask for, believe that you have received it; it will be yours. Everyone who asks receives." -- Do you care if you survive? Are you demoralized? Are you demoralized to the point of not caring if you survive? If you think you do not care if you survive, and you feel demoralized, and you feel like your demoralization is supporting your lack of care about if you survive, and you recognize this as a problem, then think, what is causing this demoralization? Lack of a job or a place among other people? Poor health decisions or division against yourself? And what is the root of all this? It is fear, and where does this fear come from; what are you afraid of? In Jesus Christ, one does not need to fear evil... Do I then project myself onto others? What does it mean to love your neighbor as if they were you? Jesus responded to people clearly and perfectly, fully answering what they said to him. If it is of God to not want to disobey God, and to accept discipline by God, then is fear of God being afraid that I would disobey or disappoint God? Is God my Father? Who told me that God is my Father and how did I come to know this? It is through Jesus Christ's words that I accept God, and it is because of what Jesus Christ said and did to me that I know God and Jesus Christ. Perseverance is not stubbornness; a man of truth is always open to the truth but has already recognized Jesus Christ as the truth. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." Can you see that belonging to God is an important necessity? God accepts anyone who accepts Jesus Christ's intercession on their behalf. "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise him up during The Last Day." -- By associating Christmas with cheesy and obnoxious songs, the pagan world dishonors God and God's son. After all, should we dread a time of celebrating God's Presence? Honor God in your heart, and then God will show you glory. -- Them: Who translates our Bibles? Which original text copy is it translated from? Which original text copy did Jesus qoute from? Me: I don't know about that, but I recognize his voice. -- The sins of men are repulsive and vast. Jesus Christ is the solution. There is no other solution given by God to humans. -- One thinks that without jetsam, one will get flotsam. "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Jesus Christ is Mr. Jetsam. Because he is Mr. Jetsam, those who threw him overboard became flotsam. He was judgment of them. Those who belong to him are judgment of the nations. He even explained it: "Whoever receives you receives me." "Whoever believes will live, and whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he does not believe in God's one and only son." (Paraphrased.) The time of judgment on this world has already come and gone. Satan was driven out of the world. It is time to learn the truth and adhere to it while growing; and everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ, because it is as Jesus Christ explained. The world cannot accept the truth. The world neither sees the truth nor knows the truth. I know the truth. So God sanctified me, and the world treats me as jetsam, even as the world becomes flotsam. God is my father. God is my "god". Because Jesus Christ lives, I will live; he is in me and I am in him and God is in him. God is Jesus Christ's father and my father; God is Jesus Christ's "god" and my "god". I am a "god". Jesus Christ explains everything, but you can call me Mr. Jetsam Junior. Mr. Jetsam will give me authority and responsibility in order to teach me. Already he has given me authority and a voice in control, but hidden these things from others. When I show effort or progress, I am envied. This is why I work in secret. -- When Jesus entered the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. (Matthew 9:23-24). Let's go to the ruler's house and perform some music and enjoy ourselves and show some mourning actions so that perhaps in the future this ruler will care about us too, and maybe give us what we want. And when we are challenged and we see an opportunity to assert ourselves, let us laugh at our adversary and think they are a buffoon in support of the ruler. After all, he's being a stupid man who nobody cares about. So they laughed at God's son. He told them the truth, and they laughed at him. They did not believe him when he told them the truth, but decided to treat the truth as folly; The Living Truth as a buffoon. They rejected the truth; they rejected God. God is mocked and rejected by his creatures, but not by those creatures who belong to him. Do you not see that God understands? "Well do I know your suffering." "Have I not stored up all these things in my vaults? It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time..." -- And he has authority on Earth to forgive sins. This too the world rejects. -- [Set to "Gesu bambino":] https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/gesu_bambino.mp3 https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/gesu_bambino_with_voice.mp3 I go to the mountains and what do I see? The lands and rivers below. I look to the heavens, and staring at me, My savior is praised in echo. Glad tidings and praises through all The Earth, To Heaven above they all ring, The children all glorify Jesus King, O hear the angels rejoice! [All praise to Christ the King!] The nations all gather together in praise, To honor him in their hearts, The Lamb, as he watches at Yahweh's right hand, God's gentleness does he impart. "My people, you've suffered and learned from me, come now, find your place in my heart, come gather around me and closely see, and now let this new order start!" The valleys and hills, as they echo their strain, The Lord is seated above, He waves with his hand over mountain and hill, And shows us his glorious love. The wilderness welcomes the fertile plain, And children all sing, "God provides!" Hallel to the Lord God and Jesus King, All suff'ring into joy elides! All people come listen to what I now say, The Lord is merciful now, His Presence remains, for The Lord does not change, Fear not, that you do not know how. His hold cannot falter like weakly men, His glory forever shall reign. And wonderful love is in majesty To you he'll reveal and not wane! -- "Some things are too wonderful to keep to myself." -- Robert Walliczek -- People are enslaved to evil and ruled by fear. It's all the same. People are stupid. People are so stupid. They will say, "respect yourself," and in the next breath will show you disrespect. People's hypocrisy is mountainous. Their inability to see or accept reason and goodness is why they are so stupid. Blinded by evil, they have no choice but to glorify themselves among others. Those who need help should get that help from God; the help of man is worthless, because the mind and will of man is unable to understand and the will of man is unwilling to live by the truth. Why? Fear is the excuse of evildoers. Fear rules over those enslaved to evil. There is no real understanding in a person ruled by fear and enslaved to evil. But when Jesus sets a person free from their enslavement to sin, then the person can start to gain understanding; to be loved by mortals is worthless, but to be loved by God is invaluable. -- "Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven." -- Vengeance! Wrath! Anger! They will not escape The Lord. No one escapes judgment and justice from The Lord. Foolish mortals. My wrath will be complete; my vengeance will be satisfied by true justice. Suffering; gruesome, horrifying suffering; they will see death; let them repent, because I will see my vengeance in justice. Let them repent of evil or suffer torment. Foolish people. I will be satisfied. Everything that causes sin, and all who do evil, will be thrown into the fire. Vengeance will be mine in justice from The Lord. I will see retribution and be satisfied; forgiveness will wield its power and no one will escape. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. This pitiful world is not for me. Go, fools, be ruled by fear and enslaved to sin. You have no idea how depraved you are. Your minds are worthless; your hearts are murderous; and you will burn. Repent and be honest in your heart to God... or be destroyed. Liars will be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. But you can't warn a fool; the fool will mock you for your knowledge and integrity. Because folly is evil; fools deserve to die and be punished. Keep closing your ears and covering your eyes. I reject all you liars and sons of Hell. May The Lord have mercy on your souls, if that is his plan in wisdom. But mark my words: vengeance will be mine. The Lord will avenge; I will see justice, and then my wrath will be complete. Stupid mortals! All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ! Receive the depths of your self-loathing shame! -- Throughout my entire lifetime, I have done what others tell me to do. I have learned without exhibiting stubbornness. I have taken in all that I could, and I have learned what is important. I am tired. From now on, my normal response will be "no" to requests. I will wait for my Lord to be revealed. The one who vindicates me, who justifies me, will judge every being. I will see him return showing power and great glory beyond human imagination. I will be happy and hidden from the enemy. My enemy will be miserable and burn in torment. And this is not going to end; this is going to last forever. Dear Temporary Discomfort, what are you to me? I do not destine or control you; and you will vanish at the moment God determines as suitable. But my joy and delight in Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father is going to emerge and be revealed; and The Son of Man will be revealed to my enemy; and my enemy will mourn; and I am going to be in the presence of God's Presence, and my Redeemer will defend me in the presence of my enemy. Enemy, my God will defend me in your presence. Come do your worst; you can do nothing. Your role is to be confused. Your goal is to destroy yourself with your decisions. Your own mind is your enemy. Your own will is your enemy. Stubborn fool. The cure to your confusion and division is found in Jesus Christ, God With Us. Do you want to be well? -- What would make this a safer world? What is safety? Perhaps safety is not being around evil. The people in this world can imagine safety of proximity. Can they imagine real safety? Can people in this world perceive reality, or are they manipulated by humanism? To be ruled by fear means to desire safety, right? Shall we chase the ephemeral "one good idea" without knowing what imagination or goodness are? What would the result be? Waywardness. It is better to think about God's words: God's words are Jesus Christ's words: Jesus Christ's words are written in The Holy Bible. Psychology can take a back seat to the truth; because psychology will pass away, but Jesus Christ's words will never pass away. "Let me just keep talking, and by probability I will eventually do something correct; by probability I will figure out how to gain praise from men so I can live comfortably in society," they say. "People are tired of society, so I will distract them with fascination to entertain their feeble minds and wills," they say. "I will gain appreciation among men by serving their desires, showing myself to be important to their lives, making them value me," they say. "I will give them what they want so they will give me what I want," they say. And their thoughts corrupt them, so they pursue darkness rather than truth and understanding. Their minds are small and so they chase their own capabilities and entertain their eyes. What value is it to entertain eyesight which God controls? So they give their thoughts over to manipulators who strip the value of their lives through mind games and categorical disinformation -- also known as lies. "Get behind me, Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God but the interests of men." So what are the interests of God? God has made it clear: "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." Let us be entertained by common faces in videos -- actors whose fake stories we come to know. We prefer fantastical imagination that glorifies humans, and we want to share the products of our imagination. Who cares about truth? Truth has no place in our society; after all, truth is not in man. So they say. But to whom are they speaking? Who are they? This knowledge they also reject, saying, "I cannot know," and "You cannot know," because they want to be "appreciated" even though this makes no sense at all. How can I appreciate something that I do not want to understand? It is irrational fantasy that they promote -- they are ruled by fear and enslaved to sin. Shall we talk about The Lord, about God who alone is good? Shall we invest some time into learning the truth? Shall I turn my heart to The Teacher and learn what God wants me to know? The imaginary stories humans tell have no place; for even as man mocks his own stories, he mocks the truth. In his stories, he mocks the truth; with the breath that God gives him he mocks God. Ingrate. What good can I talk about? "When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment. Regarding sin, because men do not believe in me, regarding righteousness, because I am returning to The Father where you can see me no longer, and regarding judgment, because now the prince of this world stands condemned." "All men will hate you because of me." All men will hate the truth; they will chase after feelings and entertain themselves with emotions; they will seek dissipation (distraction) to more easily ignore thinking; they will fight to ignore reason; they will hate to ignore joy; but God rules and shows his own will to those who belong to him, but God hides these things from the "adults" and humbles the proud. What man has built up, God will bring low. This world will wear out like a garment, and the masses will be brainwashed as evildoers enslave them and strip them of what is seen. The enemy only seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus Christ came to give life and peace to those upon whom God's favor rests through knowledge of the truth. (It is as Jesus Christ explained.) The soul that sins is the soul that will die. There is a better way; the better way is the only way; while mankind blasphemes the truth in order to honor Satan, the deceiver and father of lies, they hypnotize and test ways of putting people into a trance, not to disable them, but to distract them from God, lest people gain power and eternal life -- knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. Hypnotism is a predatory tactic; a spider establishes a pace for the fly to perceive as normal before the spider pounces on its prey; a snake establishes a soothing motion, a parasite injects a relaxant to disable the defenses of its host; the weak and undefended prey is simpler to take down; but do you know there is only one strength? -- Jesus has already answered and God has already argued by Truth. There is nothing left for me to say. What I would say, God has already answered. What I would write, God has already fully explained. What I would ask, God has already provided. Those to whom I would speak have already heard from God. To the one to whom I would say, "listen here", God has already instructed. Those who reject him will reject me; those who reject me have already rejected him. Those who choose to listen have no need to hear from me. Shall I extend the glory of God? Shall I increase his reach throughout the nations? Shall I make his work easier for him; shall I show God I can help him or be of use to him and shall I perhaps amaze my creator with what I can do? "Has not my hand created all these things, and so they came into being?" So then what is it that my God requires of me? What am I supposed to do? If I have already believed -- or already believe -- in the one he sent, what is left for me to accomplish? Shall I simply suffer the presence of the deceived and tolerate their lies as I watch them harm the weak and slander the defenseless? When I present myself as weak and meek to them, and they reveal their treacherous nature, and try to rule over me with fear and enslave me to their lies, what should I do, and what should I expect to happen? This too I learn from my master, who judges every soul according to what it has done. Should I store up knowledge and understanding and guidance for the feeble, as if to nourish them with divine wisdom? When they mock me, what should I do? When they attack me, should I ask them, "why are you attacking me"? If a civilization chooses to seek its own destruction, and traitors broker "power", if the treacherous consume and bring to ruin all they touch with their words and hands, if cowards are placed into authority, if losers are given the call to battle, if those God has cursed are praised and legislated over children, then every human of sound mind and heart will isolate themselves and try to escape and avoid the gatherings. But fear will continue to reign unchecked over the dishonest soul. Listen to this, egomaniacs: if you honor God's only son in your heart, God will heal you. Until then, doom is yours, and death is coming to take you down into the furnace, where their worm does not cease and the fire is not quenched. What good thing can I say or do? To whom shall I speak? I will speak to my God. I learn from him alone. Go your wayward ways, people, walk your slippery paths; you will know discipline, but will you accept that God disciplines those he loves as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights? Will you embrace discipline, or will you reject it? It has already been written: the people will stubbornly reject discipline, turn against "Israel", and then the last day will come with clouds and darkness and my redeemer will be revealed. I have done enough. Have you yet understood anything? -- There is one thing that can make a person truly happy. If you want happiness, this is it: It is not given nor received. It is not taken nor brought. It is not opened nor closed. It is not requested nor offered. It is not found nor revealed. Happiness is only in honesty to The Lord. -- Some things are too wonderful to share with others. "How foolish you are and slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken." (Luke 24:25). It is foolish to not listen to Jesus Christ. "But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." (Matthew 7:26). "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." (Matthew 7:6). Those who do not listen to Jesus Christ are destroyed. "The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city." (Matthew 22:7). Let God teach them. "You have one teacher: The Christ." "'I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'" "[...] This is why I speak to them in parables. [...]" Those who hate God cannot accept joy of the truth. This is why they hate me, as Jesus Christ explained. I have been sanctified by the truth, and knowledge of God has given me joy, and my enemies have delighted to envy me and abuse me because God loves me. They have no idea what's coming; they do not know what they are doing. Let them exalt themselves and set the stage for their ruin. They are not on the side of truth. I listen to the truth. The mind is small and the heart is cruel in humans. I wonder if they will ever grow tired of their wickedness, and if they will ever realize they are ruled by fear and enslaved to sin. Let them debate and become excited about dust; my time is better spent learning from God. See how they busy themselves with fantasy and make-believe. They know where to find the truth -- has it not been revealed for thousands of years? But will man hold to the truth -- "when The Son of Man returns, will he find faith on Earth?" See how they collect "knowledge" as their minds are enslaved to greed; "Watch out, be on your guard against all forms of greed. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." See how they gather bodies of work to themselves; they want to rule knowledge, yet they lack it. But Jesus Christ gave real peace to his sheep. Perhaps I would like to draw comparisons between humans and God, to judge and evaluate who is trustworthy and good. Ha! Is it not already obvious? And is it "just" or "accurate" or "correct" to stereotype or generalize all humans into one portrayal? Is human nature untrustworthy? Is the mind feeble; is the body weak? Can a human perceive everything? Do not people attempt to divide and conquer because reality is too involved -- do they not portray in inaccurate and unhelpful ways things that they do not even understand themselves -- and should such a being be called "teacher"? Should I discard belief and understanding of truth so that I can entertain the wicked, cruel, deluded perversions of idiotic liars? No. -- I was recently told by a social professional that people are social beings. A professor once told me that in class at Peabody. I considered this in the past, and today, I write the following to present the idea that people are not social beings. Only a person with a voice would say that people are social beings. God created Adam, and from Adam he created Eve. Thus, he made them male and female. So the social actions of a human are not in the human's nature, but of the human world. God spoke when creating. Jesus Christ is God's presence. Jesus Christ is God's living word. Man was created in Jesus Christ's image, and Jesus Christ walked with Adam and Eve in The Garden of Eden. He was referred to as "The Lord" and was later revealed as "The Lord" to Moses. Man called upon "The Name of The Lord" -- in other words, they called upon Jesus Christ, before The Flood. Jesus Christ is not by nature a social being; he was commanded to enter the world -- it was not his own idea, but The Father commanded Jesus and Jesus obeyed The Father. His father commanded him and he obeyed. "This command I received from [my/the] Father." Jesus often went into solitary places to pray. "My Father does not leave me alone, because I always do what pleases him." Jesus Christ is not abandoned by God; he was forsaken by God so that he could intercede for mankind being forsaken by God; "It is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." "Now is the time of judgment upon this world. Now the prince of this world will be driven out. But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness; you belong to me." God saves. Evil comes from within a man's heart and makes him 'unclean'. So it is not social saving but saving from a person's own evils. Do not be like Adam and Eve who cast blame on another. "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." "[...] Because from within, out of men's hearts, come: evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from within a man and make him 'unclean'. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean'." "[...] By their fruit you will recognize them. [...]" It is not a person's social actions that define the person. "By this, all men will know that you are my disciples: if you love one another." Rather, it is the task given to a person which may include communication or being around others. "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, who the master puts in charge of the servants of his household to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when [the master] returns. I tell you, [the master] will put [that servant] in charge of all his possessions." Social interaction is a matter of responsibility. It requires effort and consideration and work; people are not inherently social beings -- they are not social in their resting state. But they use social actions with themselves because that is the behavior they have learned from other people. God can speak without Jesus Christ; hence how Jesus Christ was commanded by God, and how Jesus Christ says "The Father and I are one," and "My Father is greater than I am," [or "than me" if you are sensitive to "I am" as part of what Jesus Christ said, "I am who I am," to Moses]. God teaches little children to understand. God disciplines adults to obey. Both the adult and the child can understand, but only by humbling themselves in their heart as a little child: understanding and discipline require humbleness, because to humble oneself is to accept one's own weakness... and God takes care of his own: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." "Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God." "From now on, you do know him and have seen him." God does not need to communicate through words; according to Pastor John MacArthur, "God communicates down to the very living cell and DNA" and is "the master communicator" who created and sustains everything and everyone. God said several times that he is concerned with people and also with animals. God also mentioned being able to command and instill fearful respect in the behemoth, his largest creature (perhaps, see Job for clarification), which has been speculated to be the largest dinosaur. Man was created in the image of God. This means the human is designed to be a child of God -- to be "a god" as God said in Psalm 82 which Jesus explained, and which means being "of God" or "like God" -- "I have said you are gods; you are all sons of The Most High." So man was created to learn from God. God uses words and has had people write down his words to share what is important with other people. You see, the mind is designed to learn what is important, not to perceive infinite context and hold infinite knowledge. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." In The Garden of Eden, there were the two trees whose fruit was not intended to be eaten: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of [eternal] life. It was called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because man did not know what its fruit tasted like. The tree of life is learning from God through Jesus Christ, The Teacher, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil is generally trying to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through another means: "I am the gate for the sheep," and "Whoever does not enter by the gate but by some other means is a thief and a robber." Thus, The Deceiver (Satan, The Accuser, The Father of Lies), "deceived" Eve, and Adam "listened to [his] wife" and also ate the fruit. And so Adam and Eve chose the path of suffering and death -- the path apart from God. And so God prevented them from eating of the tree of life so that they would not live forever (so they would not become eternally doomed) but would be capable of receiving forgiveness through Jesus Christ's intercession and through him be given the way to God, the truth from God, and the life with God. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father the same. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] The Father is in me and I am in The Father." Man was created in the image of God, and God is not a social being. God is also not three beings: Jesus Christ said, "'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" So Jesus Christ is not God. Like Jesus explained, "How is it that the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, speaking through the Holy Spirit, declares: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand [judged as innocent] until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet."' David calls [The Christ] 'Lord'. How then can [The Christ] be [David's] son?" So Jesus calls our Father "my God and your God". How then can Jesus be God? Jesus Christ -- "The Christ" -- is God's son: "He had one left to send: a son," and "Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I say, 'I am God's son?' Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, and you still do not believe, then believe on account of the miracles that testify on my behalf so that you may know that The Father is in me and I am in The Father." (John 10:36). The Father is in The Son and The Son is in The Father, as The Son explained. God is The Father. God created and is present in Existence through The Son. God sustains and manages Existence through The Son, who said, "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make [students] of all nations [...]" God's Most Revered Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth -- The Counselor who Jesus Christ, King Truth, gave from The Father, The God of Truth. God is Spirit and Jesus Christ said that The Holy Spirit is "the [present] that my Father has promised you." The Holy Spirit is the clothing of power from on high. The Holy Spirit is given by The Father: "If you, though you are evil, know how to give good things to your children, then how much more will your Heavenly Father give [good things / The Holy Spirit] to those who ask him!" Blasphemy against The Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; the punishment for blasphemy is death. Therefore, one must not blaspheme God through Jesus Christ: "All the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven of them, but not blasphemies against The Spirit: Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this age or the next." (paraphrased from Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:30 -- "He said this because they were claiming that Jesus [was demon-possessed / had an unclean spirit]."). And God works socially: "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?" "My Father is always at his work, and I too am working." "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." So for one day, God ceased his creating, because his creating was concluded. That day was ordained as a day of ceasing -- a day of rest -- for man. "The Sabbath Day was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." "On it you shall do not work." "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it? [...] Therefore it is lawful to do good on The Sabbath [Day]." Jesus said that The Holy Spirit "will not speak on his own, but will speak only what he hears: he will take from what is mine and make it known to you; all that belongs to The Father is mine, which is why I said The Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you." So God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit all work socially and non-socially. They are not social beings, but exercise effort and love socially. Man was created in the image of God to learn from God and be like God through Jesus Christ, God's son. The Counselor and God's Kingdom is forever; the spirit of a human is eternal -- either living or dead. Jesus explained: "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." So one must cross over from "dust" to "Life": cross over from enslavement to sin and evil, from being ruled by fear, to being ruled by God who alone is good and who wants to give truth and understanding and life on account of his own glory, the glory of his name, Jesus, "God Saves," and Immanuel, "God with us" / God's Presence. "And I will ask The Father and he will give you [a/an/another] [advocate/counselor] to be with you forever: The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, because he lives with you and will be in you." (John 14:16-17). So the world thinks and claims that believers in God are crazy, lunatics, and other nouns of mockery, but Jesus Christ explained everything when he was alone with his disciples; and said, "I have spoken openly to the world -- I never said anything in secret, but was with you every day in the temple courts. Ask those who heard me; surely they know what I said." And thus, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, who the master has put in charge of [the master's] servants to give [the servants] their food allowance at the proper time?" "What I have whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs." In other words, publish the words of God to those who are God's servants. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them underfoot and turn and tear you to pieces." In other words, do not publish the words of God to those who are not God's servants. How then shall the distinction be made? It seems too feeble-handed to hide the truth until someone asks for it. Perhaps then one-way information transportation is in order: a book, a writing, a document, to be made available to the whole world. "And the Gospel (Good News) must first be preached to all nations (beginning in Jerusalem)." (Mark 13:10). So people write what they think is important. This social action is work and effort. "And then he will reward each person according to what they have done." People are not inherently social beings; it is learned, and it is a matter of responsibility and work. The good person (person of God) will say and do good things (things of God) out of the good (things of God) stored in their heart... but "your Heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask." And a person, like God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, can not talk or otherwise communicate. Talking or socializing is not the only form of work, as God demonstrated by "ceasing from all the work of creating he had done" -- speaking is symbolic of God breathing life into man. "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." Jesus Christ is "the mouth of God" and "the hand of God". (See John 10:28-30 for the explanation.) People can also not write what they think is important. People can also not work, but cease, even though God continues working and Jesus Christ said, "It has been accomplished" when he gave up his spirit into God's hand. The mind does not cease, but the thoughts can cease. And Jesus Christ explains everything -- as he explained, "See, I have told you everything ahead-of-time." It is the decision of the person whether or not to "share" information. Hence why God commanded The Son to enter the world in order to testify to the truth. Had The Son chosen himself to speak, God would not have needed to command him; such would have been redundant, a waste of effort, unless one thinks that The Father commanding The Son would have been reassurance to The Son. But that does not make sense because "The Father loves The Son and shows him everything [The Father] does. Yes, to your amazement, he will show him even greater things than [this/these]. As The Father raises the dead and gives life to those whom he is pleased to give it, so he has granted The Son to have life in himself; and he has given [The Son] authority to judge, because he is The Son of Man... so that all may honor The Son as they honor The Father. Whoever does not honor The Son does not honor The Father [who sent him]." (paraphrased). So one should not assert that the nature of a being is of the action of the being, but rather, by the way that the being was created by God to live: God said of Adam, "it is not good for [the] man to be alone". So the man was alone at the start. Then God created "a helper suitable for him," and so God created Eve from the rib of Adam, of whom Adam said, "This now is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone; she shall be called 'woman' because she came out of man." And so for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So man and woman reunited again (if you go by chromosomes, God took the X from Adam's XY and created Eve as XX) gives birth to a child, and that child is the representation of the man and woman's marriage, and Jesus said, "Therefore, what God has [made one / joined together], let man not [separate/divide]." (Mark 10:9). The living person is indivisible. Man can socially be divided against himself, but "it was not this way from the beginning". (Matthew 19:8). "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand." (Matthew 12:25). Therefore, it is socially responsible to "love your neighbor as yourself; do to others what you would want them to do to you," and people need God's love; and this is something God reveals only to his sheep. "'You, my flock, the sheep of my pasture, are my people, and I am your God', declares The Sovereign Lord God." (Ezekiel 34:31). "Whoever loves me will obey my commands." "This is my command: love each other as I have loved you." This includes forgiving. "If you forgive those who sin against you, your Heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you [refuse to / do not] forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14-15). It is a matter of the heart; and although the sin is social, and to withhold from sinning is to avoid evil social actions, forgiveness is internal, a private matter of the heart between a person and the person's God (and God's Son). "Man, who appointed me to be an arbiter between [you and your brother]? Watch out! Be on your guard against all forms of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Jesus explained, for example about murder and adultery, by pointing out that the social sin is committed in the heart before it manifests externally in what might be identified as a "social" way. Good and evil are stored within the heart before they are shown socially; so the question becomes whether good and evil socially enter the heart. And I argue that they do not, but occur, for example, as "evil thoughts" internally which can be learned from any social situation or disciplined against in any social situation. Yet thinking is not social; a person thinks using words because it is in that language that the person has been told by others to speak, but a person can think in ideas rather than words. Words can be used to help the mind remember ideas and thoughts, but the words and the social nature is external to the self. It is an action exhibited by a person -- the nature is not the action, but the action results from a decision or a learned behavior. Imitation is used to teach without words, which is how a child learns words at first. Ideas and meanings of words are explained, and so we remember these ideas through a dictionary which collects one or more ideas of words according to an assumed perception of social behavior. But the person, the individual, the heart/mind/soul/will of the person, with which a person is commanded to love God entirely, is held accountable for action or lack thereof according to its nature. Just as love is internal and can be shown externally through good actions -- actions that are like the actions God shows -- and ideas are internal and can be shown externally through good words -- words aligned with God's interests -- and God alone is good, which means potential for improvement is infinite, so it is for the heart, mind, soul and will to accept infinite potential with God, and decide whether or not to act or exhibit any socially-recognized behavior. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. [...]" So God chooses to whom he speaks, and what socially-recognized behaviors he demonstrates for a human to learn. So as salvation is for the soul, and "the soul that sins is the soul that will die," the personal matter of salvation is in the narrative (context?) of a social environment: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me," versus "Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." But the human individual does not necessarily "fit" within the construct defined for the social environment, and even though some people are equipped to socially interact in certain ways, and a human judgment of normal is defined to please the (perhaps narcissistic) majority, and Jesus said, "You judge by human standards; I cast judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my judgments are correct, because I do not speak on my own [to honor/please myself] but my Father stands with me," to judge that the human is a social being should only go so far as to say that a human can attempt to recognize social environments based upon the perceived presence of another, and a human can attempt to communicate. So it is plenty enough to assert that a person can be willing to recognize communication and that a person can attempt to communicate. But the capacity is designed by God and the soul learns and decides. "No one can come to me unless my Father [draws/enables] them, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." The purpose for any social thing can be abused. But "store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, which will not wear out or be depleted, where no thief can come near, and where moth and rust do not destroy. Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." "In my Father's house, there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you there so that you may be with me where I am." "The Kingdom of Heaven does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is' or 'There it is' because The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." To say that people are social beings is to assert that people naturally are willing or able to communicate, and to imply that communication is healthy. Yet none of those assertions is valid. One can argue that everything I wrote here is "understandable" or arguable from the standpoint that people are in fact social beings; and it may even appear to the uninformed eye that the act of my writing and communicating proves that I am a social being exhibiting social interaction in order to communicate because of the fact that I am a social being; but this uninformed constructed idea neglects recognition of who and what I am, lacks knowledge of any background of reason or logic I might have, and speaks more towards judging my nature by my actions; but just as a tree cannot bear fruit without sunlight and water, so a person cannot speak without a tongue, write without hands, hear without ears, or understand without knowing the truth. Is a deaf, blind, mute person -- one who is considered abnormal by the majority -- or anyone who chooses not to communicate, to be considered abnormal, or is social favoritism granted to abundant communicators? As an example, I have written over 360,000 words in my blog, yet I see no one giving me any social favoritism; in fact, if anything, it is those who listen, not speak, who are granted social favoritism, because "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" and people choose to love those people who appear to show them love. "If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even the pagans do that?" The fact of the matter is that understanding, discipline, and choice comes from inside, and a person stores good or evil inside of them based upon what kind of person they are -- their nature. Everything external is either gained or given, but that too is a choice based upon what kind of person it is: "The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart." The act of storing good things and bringing good things is a social action, but it is the nature of the individual which is where all the real action happens, because it is the will that wields the decision and it is the decision which may or may not be enacted socially (or in some socially-recognized way). After all, a person can try to speak, yet say nothing; but one can still claim that their mind, heart, soul and will are that of a social being, but only if one chooses to ignore potential. Because potential and hope and truth may be possible to communicate, but the understanding is internal, and it is how a person understands which is their nature of being, not whether or how they exhibit that for others to socially accept or reject by their own social judgments intended to please themselves. A person has both good and bad things, and God alone is good, and the eye is the lamp of the body, and it is the internal understanding and judgment (God-given capacity) that gives potential for the result that is social interaction. So everything demonstrated by an individual can be perceived socially, and "by their fruit you will recognize them [as good or evil]". The heart, mind, soul, and will, however, can never be socially perceived, because it is not a social construct or social idea; as words were crafted to describe ideas, and people craft sentences to communicate crafted ideas, these ideas come from the heart; the words, and the social interaction itself, do not come from the heart. The ideas reflect the thoughts and the thoughts come from understanding in the heart, mind, soul and will of a person. This is all internal and is optionally, but not normally or necessarily or for one's own health made external into a form of acknowledged communication. As it is with words, so it is with music; and yet communication through music again is only effective if one speaks the language of music which does not consist of words. If a person does not understand a method of communication, but they can recognize an individual communicating, this is socially perceived as a failure to convert will into action. Yet there is no failure of will internally. So social constructs and expectations do not always respect the individual; and without such basic respect, social constructs and expectations should not be used to contextualize the individual or the human nature; it does not demonstrate love or empathy; rather, the value of a social idea is to determine how to best cooperate, which requires internal love to be present before it can be shown externally. So a good person and an evil person cannot cooperate with each other -- and in fact, an evil person does not exhibit empathy because they do not store love in their heart from which they might socially bring it through word and action. The failure is not in the social interaction or the social construct, but internal within the individual before they ever act socially. The social construct has no part, and the social environment cannot change the nature of the individual. Only God can alter the self, because God created the self. I think that people are not "social beings", but both good and evil can be apparent socially, and social actions can be apparent and recognized by a person. Social interaction can consist of words, but ideas are also used by the mind. The soul guides the mind and heart (not the organ, but the ephemeral desire or treasure of a person; what a person considers valuable based upon their nature), which guide the will, and the will may or may not be exhibited socially depending upon the understanding and other factors; and "out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks" which socially reveals whether a person is good or evil. Simply, the self is not the resulting action, but has potential to participate or act according to a learned social construct in a context identified by more than one individual as social. And a person can use their "social skills" to talk to themselves -- to "think out loud" even though the thinking is not the speaking. -- "Public opinion" is a false social construct. The individual forms conclusions based upon their understanding; but social identity is a chasing after the wind that gives no insight. Insight is given to man by God, and Jesus Christ said, "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away". -- Psychiatrists are all about medication. False imprisonment places the "patient" as involuntary and makes them unable to leave; and a civil patient advocate is often "unavailable". The mental health system is one big joke of a failure. All one can do is prove through their words and actions that their mood is stable and their thinking is clear; decline treatment and medication; and in every social interaction say "I require an attorney or paralegal representative as soon as possible." Give a psychotherapist a basic non-disclosure agreement and watch their world crumble and their employees scatter. - In pursuit of fair, accurate, truthful, worthwhile services to be provided by [institution] to the client [your name], the provider agrees to the following terms: 1) No Verbal Abuse: With discretion, the client will disclose information that the client feels is temporally appropriate. The provider will not challenge the client about the appropriateness of the information that the client shares. The provider will not question the integrity, sanity, honesty, or motivation of the client. 2) No Physical Abuse: The provider may not intentionally cause any physical damage to the client's body. The client's skin may not be punctured; if the client gives the provider a written statement that a needle may be used to draw blood, the client requests an experienced professional for proper action and [minimal/no] bruising. The client refuses all medication and foreign substances, except safe antibiotics when necessary. No injections or vaccines. 3) Confidentiality: The provider will not share any actions or words exhibited by the client. The provider will not "use" any actions or words exhibited by the client. Any information conveyed by the client to the provider must remain in the provider's eyes respected and static; the client respects the provider and so the provider must respect the client. The client's words and actions during meetings "behind closed doors" must be kept secret and must not be recorded by the provider in a way perceived convincing to others. If the client or provider notices that any of these terms is breached by the provider, the client will if necessary verbally inform the provider of the breach, and the provider will immediately terminate its services for the client and within 48 hours of the breaching act will hand or mail the client an accurately-dated apology letter that states which term was breached by whom and how on which date. If possible, the letter must be signed by both the breaching individual and the authorized representative signing this NDA. If the provider does not honor this remedy, the provider will pay the client $10,000.00 USD as soon as possible for breach of NDA contract without proper remedy. The provider will not legally challenge this NDA. If the provider agrees to these terms, its authorized representative must sign this NDA before a notary and hand the client a notarized copy of this NDA before services are provided at the next appointment, [date]. If the provider does not agree to these terms, its representative will print "DECLINED" as its signature, and the relationship between the provider and the client will immediately terminate without adverse reaction or consequence to either body. Any questions about the "purpose" or "reason" for this NDA must not be asked by the provider or answered by the client until the client receives a notarized copy. It should suffice that the client believes this NDA is necessary. Each term receives its maximum logical duration. This NDA does not expire. This NDA may not be altered or rescinded. [client signature] [provider signature] [notary signature] [provider/notary signature date] [client's name, address, phone number] [provider's business name, address, phone number] - Give them this NDA at least two days before the next appointment. They will need to show the NDA to their legal department; and their legal department will tell them they cannot sign the NDA; and now you have a legal, ethical, and logical requirement to refuse their services. Easy. -- Dear Mr. President: With the remainder of your term in office, sooner rather than later, please do what the angels will do: "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil." (Matthew 13:41). -- Slavery is one entity forcing its will onto another entity. The mind can use reason. Music is suggestive. A human that feels loved or appreciated is pliable and easily ignored -- but those who are blessed cause ripples in the water to improve the lazy, fear-controlled world. There is a terrible, wrong perception of God. The perverse psychology of atheistic humanism pollutes the mind with blind guidance of idolatry of self, serving evil arrogance and its social manifestation, narcissism. God does not force love; God explains what is (the truth). God uses reason, not as a vessel of enslaving the mind so as to enslave the soul, but to improve the mind and soul so that the blessed individual can also improve society. To love God is to value God the most. God wants a person to be well, and in his safety, to be the best and most happy; discipline is guidance towards happiness. And The Lord makes each person, nourishes that person each day, and gives that person the experience to be a god like Jesus Christ. That person is then neither enslaved to God's will nor man's will nor their own will; with knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, The Counselor remains with the blessed person; "blessed rather are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." A person may not be OK; there are many ways a human can be physically harmed and mentally harmed. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ, now that Jesus Christ accomplished his work, is permanently spiritually safe: "Because I live, you also will live." That belief, that faith, because of God's Presence, cannot fail, because God does not change: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness," and "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore, you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. [...]" Despite a person not being physically and/or mentally harmed, God will never stop loving that person; "My Father will love you because you believe in God's only son." Because Jesus Christ welcomed the believer to himself of Jesus Christ's own purity, and all knowledge, wisdom, logic, and reason supports Justice (God alone is good), the believer is permanently free and part of God's family, and already knows in their heart that God and Jesus Christ -- as God and Jesus Christ explained -- alone is trustworthy. Not only does faith and goodness rule the mind of the believer, but even if a person is their own worst enemy, fully divided against themselves, that person, even if they are physically and mentally harmed until death, will never die. Because Life Himself is with you and within you, you cannot die, and because Truth Himself is with you and within you, you cannot be deceived; because God controls and does not change. The believer does not prioritize themself; the believer prioritizes the one in whom the believer believes. So the world exalts the self and yet experiences death; because to exalt the self is to chase one's own ruin; arrogance and folly is a wide path of destruction. Wisdom is given by God; understanding is granted; the mind is a tool of the soul applied to gain understanding, and the body (what one might call the subconscious mind) is merely part of the experience of dwelling corporally. The mind does not function without the brain; and this is used as an excuse of atheistic humanism to blindly guide pliable minds astray; because the non-believers chase after knowledge of the self so that they might glorify themselves in the eyes of men because they are enslaved to arrogance and its product, narcissism. And they say that reason is of the mind, and identity (what they will label as the soul) is of the mind; but is a tree of the mind, or the air of the mind?; of course not; so they deny even their eyes and thus reject all forms of knowledge and deny their own existence; neglecting and dishonoring God's statement "I am who I am" which proves existence real; and thus they are nowhere near understanding the significance of God swearing by himself, "As surely as I live, every knee will bow and every tongue confess"; and so the non-believer has no understanding of reality nor anything in it, including themselves, nor any understanding of God, but they use words they were not given and abuse knowledge to confuse and hypnotize the public, so that like a parasitic worm they can wiggle their way and embed themselves into positions of influence and use their will to control and enslave the minds and wills of others; yet they have no love, not even for themselves (because they do not even believe that they themselves exist), except that pagan value of self they would have us call "love"; and so perversion (corruption), blindness, and destruction is their fate; and the non-believer remains hopelessly ruled by fear and enslaved to sin. But love for self has a place: to understand what God and Jesus Christ taught, "love your neighbor as yourself" and love your enemies [...]: "if you [only] love those who love you, what reward will you get; do not even the pagans do that?" and "so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, because this sums up The Law and The Prophets." Jesus sent his students into the world like sheep among wolves. The sheep understands the wolf, because the shepherd explains everything to the sheep ahead-of-time. To canines and swine no understanding is granted. "I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and we testify as to what we have seen, and yet still you people do not accept our testimony. [...]" "If I tell you, you will not listen, and if I ask you, you will not answer. But from now on, The Son of Man will be seated at the right hand [as innocent] of The Mighty One." It has been accomplished, and it has been explained. Are you going to listen? Who told you to exalt your will above knowledge of reality? It was The Deceiver, The Father of Lies! Learn the truth from God and as it is being told to you and revealed to your understanding, if you are on the side of truth, you will value the truth and become the best person you can be (have life to the fullest) according to God's wisdom and plans -- according to God's will. Jesus Christ is the one to whom every soul should listen. God said, "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" -- Them: This was shown by the BBC, it's a regional programme which needs to be shown nationally, internationally, about Northumbria police failings which allowed a Muslim rape gang to walk free in Newcastle, leaving the victims in danger and Muslim rape gangs to continue gang raping and torturing children in the city, please watch and share. Me: Can you tell me why this should be shown internationally? Them: So everyone knows what's going on, this was only shown in the North East of England, not even nationally Me: Then if no one will listen, it is time to start your own publication, or find some other interested investigative writers/speakers/reporters who will help you publish well-rounded information. You have the people doing this, going places and video-recording event activities. Perhaps it is a single location that you are looking for? If the internet companies turned against you, perhaps it is for the better. People do not take things seriously unless they see it themselves in person; the internet is misconstrued and misused; so get busy writing and distributing in person. But I can tell you this: a wide perspective can be shared with concise statements. What would a publication look like that contained only concise, simple statements? With the abundance of chatter, that would stand out. And you do not need to distribute (news)paper. All you need is one spot to post one laminated document where people can go and see what is new in their area. -- Everyone who hungers and thirsts for righteousness is filled. That by itself proves that God is real. -- The psychiatrist says, "Your perception of reality is wrong." To this blind guide I say, "You challenge what you do not know. Tell me, O great and wise breath-in-dust, what is my perception of reality?" You see, it is as Jesus Christ explained: "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But whoever stands firmly to the end will be kept safe." They are fools and idiotic hypocrites, all of them: they strip the patient of strings and shoelaces, and on the outside cut short the cords on the pay-phones, but in their offices and at the desks right in front of the patients they have telephones with detachable cords. Way to go through the meaningless motions, fools, just like a church leader who ignores God but loves public speaking... loves themselves and hates the truth. Ruled by fear, incapable of making a good decision, destined for failure -- doomed, condemned, cursed. They say, "look how I have been rejected," and so they take the apparent clout they socially desired: they persecute the prophets who God gives credit for being rejected, then they claim credit for God rejecting them. It's all about external appearance to them, because they, well, how shall I put this delicately... their perception of reality is wrong. "Do not judge, or you will be judged; because with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you[, and even more]." (Matthew 7:1-2). "Trust me," they say. "I am listening. I am here to help you," they say. "Don't be afraid. Respect yourself, but you and I both know that there is something wrong with you." They have no idea who they are dealing with. I open my mouth and they are pronounced guilty. I am among them and they are condemned. That is their destiny; they claim to believe in Jesus Christ, but look at them: do you see Jesus Christ in them? Is The Holy Spirit dwelling in them; can you see their good deeds and humble reverence for The Sovereign Lord, their teacher and master? When they speak, are their words like searing fire of purity? Do they teach from God's mouth or from their own mouths -- to feed their own mouths or to feed God's mouth? "I am not seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, [that person] will never see death." For me, what am I that I complain and grow tired of being told what to do? My salvation -- my safety -- is permanent, and I even uttered the phrase, "I need love," but there is nothing of value on this footstool; nothing to sustain me; no means for happiness. But God knows what God is doing "in his wisdom". Dust should not challenge God. Lack of honor for God will bring God's discipline and anger; what are destiny and fate, and why does a soul act? What role do I have in existence? These are questions my Father and my Teacher answers. Oh elusive and cunning grammar, will you ever be used to respect the truth? The institution is abused by mockers and cowards. Liars and thieves sit on thrones. They run the institutions and are swayed by manipulative fear, and out of anger and loathing they in turn attack others with fear and loathing; and in their mockery they condemn themselves. All this simply because they did not listen to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ explained. It's so simple. How can they be so stupid? It is the path of the condemned, and until God changes the condemned heart, mind, soul and will, they will be disgracefully cursed indefinitely. They must cross over from death to life, as Jesus Christ explained. Where is the hero who will do these things? Where is the rescuer -- the savior who will rescue from death and give permanent safety to the afflicted? Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation." (Luke 17:22-25). So they claim to be the savior, but they do this because they are enslaved to evil sin and understand nothing. Shall a free man take instruction from a slave -- should the healed one go back and learn from the wounded? Should not rather the slave learn from the free man how to gain freedom, and the wounded learn from the healed one how the healed one was healed? Should not one seek the light rather than the darkness -- understanding and enlightenment and goodness and truth and life, rather than confusion and despair and evil and falsehood and death? What is the value of the future, of destiny, of the word "should"? The value is in the fact that God alone is good and therefore potential for improvement is infinite. But the idiots say, "you are insane, that is all make-believe, figment of your imagination; you are a fool". Oh OK I see. Wow what insight you have given me; thank you for contributing to my insanity, my make-believe imagination, and thereby denouncing even your own contribution as folly. Amazing how they condemn themselves. Even in the false narrative of their alleged "mind games", they cannot even think properly. Even their thoughts condemn them. Even. But this constitutes no balance to reality or respect for truth; the chaff will be consumed in fire soon enough. Their day of disaster quickly approaches. But I will love; I will know love is valuable. I will learn from my God. I will respect the fact that the value of the future is God's glory. I will understand what others, I guess, will never perceive. Although the truth is revealed to them, it does not remain in them -- seed that does not grow; and so the truth is intentionally concealed from them, lest it go wasted. They are not given much, and what they have will be taken from them, and nothing much is expected or demanded or required of them. I have; I know; I learn; I understand; I see; I experience; I live; I have freely given; I am honored by Immanuel. And so their world is not my world, because their word is not God's word; they use words but do not understand them -- if they are shown their wretchedness, some of them repent, and others of them plunge headlong to their death. So what place does my loving have among them? How then do I love my enemies and do good to those who hate me and pray for those who persecute me and give without expecting anything in return? To give is to invest; their wasted lives are not actually a waste but a demonstration that God is merciful even to the wicked; unconditional love is without respect to the nature of the individual, except that the individual is loved by God; and by existence and Immanuel does God love the wicked and save the unmerciful by welcoming the sinner to himself by "the repentance and forgiveness of sins [...] in his name [for] all nations". So the plan is God's plan and the savior is God. My part is to be delighted with what I am taught by God. This I have done, and I shared, and in my sharing, I was socially shamed and rejected. Alas, this happens ad nauseum, like a pattern of nature; and the natural worldly order -- the reason for pagan fear -- even contradicts itself. Jesus Christ offers safety, which is what they want, but they reject safety. It is like I come and give them what they want and so they reject me. Well then, I suppose it has come time for me to not give to ingrates; the unconditional love I should have for them does not need to throw them pearls, just like "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." And so on, explanation after explanation of reality and existence and the truth of everything... and life freely given, which the idiots clamor for and then proceed to refuse, like spoiled rotten children lacking merit of integrity and sincerity in their soul. But it is of stubbornness -- yes, they are confused and blind, but they turn into blind guides, and that is their purpose: to lead the undisciplined and fall with them into a pit. Then they will say, "Help me, help me," and repeat their offenses and exacerbate their complaints, and perhaps in time, God will rescue them. Or perhaps not. But I can tell you with certainty, this is not my business, but God's business. What role I have among the idiots I have already fulfilled; they rejected my help, it has been made clear their wickedness hated my love, and so in the words of Duke Nuke'em, "let God sort 'em out". This is the blanket statement I have for humankind, who will either repent or die, and there is nothing I can say or do to affect that... exactly what they asked for. For "what is it to [me] if [God] want[s] [them] to live forever?" You do you. You won't listen to me anyway. And I am not your teacher. And I am not God. But the Kingdom of Heaven is mine. This, what you cannot see, is uni: Matthew 6:4 and John 14:17 and Luke 17:21 and John 17:21-23. -- The greatest danger to a sentient being is the presence of another sentient being. "It is not good for man to be alone." Peril therefore is inconsequential; fear is irrelevant; failure is man's fortune; death is a lie; existence is granted; fools cannot praise; wisdom is wasted; lifetime is fleeting; time is a gestalt; love is semi-transparent; the heart is man's torture; the mind is a sieve; the body is like cement; and words sting the soul like nettle. Am I an old wineskin desiring more new wine? How can wisdom be resolved? When has the brim risen to contain the lessons God gives me every day? When have the lessons sunk down to make room for more? Where is the limiting sky, because I see no bottom to my depth. Will I burst? Oh fathom the mockery that is the institution of man: how can a professor say anything right and how can a professional do anything right? Am I to be counseled regarding God by idiots? Should I entrust myself to man who I can see right through? These words, my words, who writes them? Whose hands and fingers are these, whose body is this, whose mind and what kind of soul is behind their presentation; what kind of documentation is this then? If my God wants to answer me, then the answer to be given is in God's control. If I am not doing what God does -- if God is not working in me -- if I do not belong to God -- if I am not "possessed" by God -- if it is not God writing through my hands and fingers -- if my mind is not a tool used by God -- if my soul is not blessed -- if I am not doing what I am meant to do -- if I am not fulfilling my destiny -- if there is no love for God in my heart -- if my words are not meant to be understood -- if the corporeal world is my master and lord -- if I am like a stray dog without pack or caretaker or teacher -- if I intend to glorify myself -- if God frowns at my inmost thoughts, then judge me, reader, listener, stranger of intent: what is my intent and how should I be handled? You are either honest in your heart to God, or you are a liar. Do you think I cannot see these things? Do you think God does not fully see what man cannot? Ask and you will receive, because progress, fortune, and capacity God gives to the believer; and the believer lays down his own life, takes up his own cross, and follows Jesus Christ. This state is for God's glory. One should not honor their own capabilities but God's capabilities, actions, and interests. But these are the words of a poor man, because the wealth of the world is passed along by manipulative ungodliness. "Give to me and I will give to you," they say in selfishness and greed. They always seek better possessions, but they have no concept of what is actually good -- they "give good gifts to [their] children" but they do not know God who alone is good. If the greedy love to be freely given things, and to find freely-available things, why do they not accept the freely-available and freely-given eternal life? God answered my question before I placed the words. God shows me with a thought and behold I see it happen before me. "See, I have told you everything ahead-of-time." Consider: am I speaking on my own to gain honor for myself, or am I seeking to honor the one who "sent" me? "Oh look, he considers himself a godsend; he probably calls himself a prophet. This person is an ." "Leave them." I have some difficulty obeying this command, because it takes a certain kind of effort to obey it. "The eye is the lamp of the body." You know how it was between you and me in my youth. Now what do I write? What is to be said, communicated, or is silence my path of understanding? God saves; in this I will trust: God saves. Work your majesty, Father, your glorifying of your son, my Lord. The sons are exempt from duty and taxes; maybe I focus on you.

Hygiene -- To him who alone does great wonders. -- The worst hypocrisy is to tell someone to not tell someone what to do. Deceit and arrogance and envy and folly are involved, along with unbelief and lack of discipline; and when corruption is the goal, also malice; and this as an act of cruelty would involve slander, evil thoughts, theft by dishonorable treachery, murderous anger, immoral adultery; and in selfishness, greed; and in its perversion and malice, lewdness and folly. Thus the motivation of hypocrisy is every evil that comes from inside a person; and this is practiced by Satan, the father of lies, who has in mind not God's interests but man's interests. Whereas to share the greatest wisdom is to tell someone to listen to Jesus Christ, who never exhibited hypocrisy, it is wicked and lazy to not say so, and neglectful to not know and believe in The Intercessor; "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent". Jesus explained that what goes into a person (referring to physical germs, food, etc.) cannot make them spiritually unclean, because it does not go into their "heart" but into their stomach while passing through and out of the body. So washing one's hands does not make one spiritually clean, and not washing one's hands does not make one spiritually unclean. One should occasionally wash with soapy water, using a paper towel, all handles, knobs, steering wheels, pens, switches, buttons, laces, computer input surfaces, book covers, and anything else one touches throughout one's day, except food which would involve washing one's hands and maybe the peel. Sunlight and ventilation are necessary in public spaces. -- Me: Satan, the deceiver and father of lies, will out of his own rage against God enrage the nations into war against God's people (Jews and Christians), who will be socially hated and murdered, and this will continue until the end, when Jesus Christ will return as Jesus Christ explained. Them: Christians* Me: If you exclude Jews from my statement there, then I point out to you that anti-semitism is the case in point of Satan deceiving the nations against God's people. -- Me: Peace is gained in Jesus Christ, the flawless Lamb of God, God's only son, one with The Father, who God commanded to give himself as Intercessor to be punished and killed for the evil sins of every human heart, mind, soul and will; and to possess this permanent freedom from one's enslavement to sin, all one must do is believe him. God loved the world so much, and Jesus Christ's finished work is the permanent solution to all our problems. "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26). Do you want real peace? Them: Matthew 8:26 (KJV) And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. Me: God gives the individual peace through Jesus Christ who is The Lord Righteousness. "In his name, the nations will put their hope." "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." So righteousness is God's word; it did not originate from humans, but humans were created in the image of God as male and female, but instead of obeying God's word and accepting righteousness, humans chose death instead. Thus, every human needs Jesus Christ and the love of God in their heart. So the world clamors for righteousness yet many refuse to accept him. They would rather, in undisciplined stubbornness, commit crimes and exercise wickedness. The definition of crime is sin. So the job of the institution of crime-fighting police has its only correct support in God's word, righteousness himself. Those who rely upon their own sense of morality are blind guides who only deceive the blind (including themselves). To embrace impurity is to harbor perverse corruption; and to exalt oneself over God, who alone is good, is to queue oneself to be painfully crushed. The only solution to all of this is to listen to Jesus Christ and know and accept God through him -- to receive The Lord Righteousness as one's own righteousness and safety (salvation). The true believer is on the side of truth; everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ; and the true believer says that The Lord is their Righteousness and Salvation. Through Jesus Christ receiving the human to God of himself, the human is glorified in God's mercy; but the faithless neither have nor can receive honor, and there is no peace for the wicked. -- So the nonbeliever says, "2000 years after the birth of Christ, and there is still little peace in this world," because they cannot see or accept The Kingdom of Heaven and The Holy Spirit which is within the individual who has accepted The Truth -- The Lord Righteousness -- as their own righteousness and salvation (safety). So in blindness, the nonbeliever cannot see the truth and righteousness, because they are not hungry for him or have the love of God in their heart (God does not force knowledge or understanding into a person, but provides according to the person's capacity and willingness to accept it), and so the nonbeliever cannot see God because the nonbeliever does not belong to God. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." Lacking the capability and desire to know what is true, one lacks all discernment except bias against the truth, because their father is The Devil, who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, because when he lies he speaks his native language because he is a liar and the father of lies. So the nonbeliever is in fact a liar, and the soul that sins is the soul that will die. In fact, one who lacks life is already dead, but one who accepts The Life freely given by The God of the Living can no longer die; by a person believing in Jesus Christ, that person has crossed over from death to life. So while the nonbeliever is cursed (lacking valuable understanding), the one who believes the truth is blessed (hears the word of God, understands it and obeys it). But the pagan world rejects knowledge and denies the truth of reality because The Deceiver, who is an enemy of God, denies Jesus Christ who is the Truth and who said to Moses, "I am who I am", which is a statement of absolute truth proven true by existence itself. Yet the nonbeliever can submit themselves to Jesus Christ, as Pontius Pilatus did in stating, "What I have written, I have written", and in so doing, depart from their non-belief by humbly accepting God's only son, rather than exalting their own arrogance and deceptive social image which is merely a recognized illusion used to gain honor for themselves among the minds of pagans, and by listening to God's only son, be given knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent which is eternal life. "No one can come to me unless my Father draws them; and I will raise them up during The Last Day." -- Be aware of the people around you. -- I sent this message to President Donald Trump: Paedophilia and human trafficking are related; I have a personal experience where I was in a restaurant and saw child abuse from what I guess was two men trafficking boys to be slaves, and I appeared to be the only person paying any attention. I am often enraged at evils I witness and lack any course of action but prayer. I told a local minister about what I saw and she said, "If they are willing to do this in public, imagine what they are willing to do behind closed doors when [they think] no one is watching." That prompted me to report the child abuse to the local police. People are afraid. We fear, shun, and hate oppression; evil enrages a righteous man, and rejection of justice enrages God. I tell children, "be aware of the people around you," and I tell adults, "look after your neighbor." But nobody listens to me. I have no voice; the voice I have used, people do not care. You speak like a cheer leader to us, and I appreciate what you have done to draw attention to this enraging problem of child abuse and human trafficking. Jesus said, "children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death," so what we need is not more child rights but more loving people, and to encourage sound minds through discipline; I told one child, "a smart person has discipline". "God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." We must as individuals in society reject perversion (backwardness), which is corruption, because actual good results come from accepting The Lord Righteousness in a person's heart. If everyone were righteous, there would be love instead of crime. "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold; but whoever stands firmly to the end will be kept safe." So legislation is only as useful as the holiness of those capable of practicing it; and The Lord of Heaven and Earth exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, because in these things he delights; and he will repay. -- In my experience, the nature of one with whom I speak is revealed in how they respond to meekness. The worker has emic (implied, unspecified) and etic (explicated, specified) responsibilities and behaviors. In other words, it can be very frustrating to not get what you want as a result of unspecified fear, and to specify fear can be confrontational. In a mannerism of meekness, the context is presented for honesty and insight. That's what you want, and then you can think better of the people you address, and it is made obvious to all what their nature is. "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise." "Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit The Earth." -- I could write something insightful about crime and sin and the way things are and put the pieces together, but I have already worked in the field, and I will leave it to you to work in the field also. Go buy your own oil from oil salesmen. "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." -- John C. Maxwell -- God and Jesus Christ's words and work is relevant for everyone forever. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." -- The only social mistake is not accepting God's words. God's words make man smart. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" My manager had difficulty accepting a decision I made because it ran contrary to the grain. The manager asked me, "Did God tell you to do [this/that]?" I did not answer. After all, why would I involve my superior, the love of my life, in confrontation to one's stated disapproval? I knew they were not thinking clearly (out of fear on my behalf), but it was not given to me to reason with them beyond what I was anyway saying to them, except by this one reply: "there are more important things". -- No matter what happens, The Lord's Name is praised. -- I can make a computer in my image, but it would not contain a real heart, mind, soul, or will; and so it would lack the potential to be a god. So it is better to interact with God than with humans, and it is better to interact with humans than with computers. One spiritually interacts with God secretly in one's heart, mind, soul and will; one physically interacts with humans publicly according to one's heart, mind, soul and will; and one physically uses tools when physically enacting one's heart, mind, soul and will. It is unjust for an institution to morally require participation, because an institution is an identified social behavior pattern agreed upon by those involved. A just institution is ordained by God; a perverted institution must be cleansed; and an unjust institution is fuel for the fire. Justice for the will comes from God; so one inherently participates in one's relationship with God, and the body is the temple God has given one. When one's life is demanded from them (when one's heart, mind, soul and will is presented to God, the judge, through Jesus Christ), the soul that is given eternal life continues to live, the soul the does not have eternal life enters into judgment and "the soul that sins is the soul that will die", and those who are given value because of their faith in (and thus acceptance of) The Lord Righteousness will enter Heaven and receive a good reward with him, and those who lack belief in (and thus reject) The Lord Righteousness will enter Hell and receive unceasing punishment without him. Thus, The Kingdom of Heaven is not an institution, it is the weight of reality by God's wisdom and will (1), which justly requires humbleness for entry. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you"; its king is Immanuel, "[his] kingdom is not of this world", he knows, cherishes, and cares for every subject, his kingdom will not end, our God who reigns over Heaven and Earth is the only one who is Absolutely Good, and both he and his Anointed One, as within each other, is Absolutely Trustworthy. (1) "Therefore, God, in his wisdom, [...]" and "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son of Man and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." -- Mark 8:13 is what happens when you entrust your life to experts. Beware of the yeast of the lawyers and the professors and the experts and the government. The World Bible (Public Domain) Mark. Chapter 8. In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way." His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?" He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven." He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away. Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha. The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him. He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation." [---->] He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side. [<----] They forgot to take bread; and they didn't have more than one loaf in the boat with them. He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod." They reasoned with one another, saying, "It's because we have no bread." Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, don't you see? Having ears, don't you hear? Don't you remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve." "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven." He asked them, "Don't you understand yet?" He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him. He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees walking." Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don't enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village." Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ." He commanded them that they should tell no one about him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men." He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? For what will a man give in exchange for his life? For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father's glory, with the holy angels." -- Folly does not come from gullibility, but from stubborn refusal to believe the truth. -- Dear Mr. President: I have recently not been receiving the automated e-mail response acknowledging receipt of my web site contact form submissions to you. I do not know if or when your office receives this. But I thank you for your efforts anyway, and offer insights I feel are important for your consideration; my only implied request is for you to think a moment about my words. As recorded in Mark 8, after feeding about 4000 people using starvingly-low supplies of bread and fish, Jesus traveled by boat to another region, and the people sent out their experts to greet him and test the integrity of his intentions. Jesus questioned the intentions of those unwilling to believe, and immediately returned to the boat and left them. Then: He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod." Mark 8:13 (He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.) is what happens when a person, or a society, entrusts their lives to experts. Beware of the yeast of the [lawyers and the professors and the experts] and the yeast of [the government]. Folly does not come from gullibility, but from stubborn refusal to believe the truth. I am glad to receive this insight and I thank you for your time. -- I can learn from a visual example. What does a healthy body look like? What does a healthy mind look like? What does a healthy "heart" look like? What does a healthy will look like? What does a healthy soul look like? -- "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." (John 17:3). "Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me." (John 17:25). The greatest knowledge of man is that which would give eternal life. The knowledge of God is [that which is] eternal life. So the greatest knowledge for a mortal to have is not how to become immortal, but is immortality itself. Mortals place their hope in survival, because through sin they gained death, so their Creator God with love gave them a permanent covenant in Life Himself, God's Son, so that in free knowledge man would have safety in eternal life and thus resolve their survival hopes and in their belief of the truth gain the comprehending faith which by understanding properly negates their fears and fosters the well-being of trust. Thus, God exercised kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, because in these things he delights. God is Lord of Heaven and Earth and does not change, and so his word and covenant cannot be dismissed or overturned, and so it provides the proper foundation for any mortal; and by Jesus Christ welcoming and accepting all mortals to himself, God has drawn us to himself with faithful loving kindness, and those he teaches are favored in their permanent state of belonging to him, and are members of his eternal kingdom -- permanently, because he accomplished his task on the cross and then rose back up from the grave, beforehand explaining, "Because I live, you also will live." -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBvwcEYr5Ac Truth does not instigate violence.

"Look, for three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree yet found none. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?" Note the reply. As China is cut down by their own sword [Matthew 26:52], witness the reply in action. Or has China already been given enough time to bear fruit? Is this the fourth year, or did it pass? If it passed, is God willing to be patient with them? Will they say, "Be patient with me and I will pay everything back," and will The Sovereign Lord then cancel their vast debt? Has China canceled the debts of others? Is this Matthew 18:33-35? "[...] Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?"

Hell is where those get thrown who have rejected Jesus Christ, who is righteousness, the source of purity to God who alone is good. Jesus Christ's eyes are like fire. Jesus Christ, in his great comprehension, focuses upon God, and only he has fully comprehended The Father. The angels of little children always see the face of their Father. And Jesus Christ teaches and explains everything. Everyone on the side of truth listens to him, and whoever believes him has permanently accepted The Only True God, The God of the Living, The God of Truth, through him. This God is the only God, he is one God, he is the Father of Jesus Christ, he is the Enactor of His Most Revered Holy Spirit, he is the Supreme and Sovereign Lord of Heaven and Earth, he alone is good and no one can surpass his authority, he is the only Almighty and defines Absolute Truth and Love, and he is the Creator and Sustainer of Existence, and he will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding only his beloved and anointed Jesus Christ, who our Father loves and with whom our Father is well-pleased, who now reigns in our Father's Glory in Heaven, has fathomed. He is Trustworthy and does not fail. He is generous and accepts requests. He does not change and one should not doubt him. He is The Judge who seeks glory for himself, and he has been glorified, is glorified, and will be glorified, because he has by Jealousy ordained that he should be glorified. You can rest upon his word. You can be delighted by his actions. You can memorize his teaching. You can trust his infinite grace. You should listen to Jesus Christ. -- It's storytime, kids!

The politician pulled the trigger and the homeless man collapsed dead. The psychiatrist said, "I told you so," then turned to the politician and said, "Where's my money?" The politician turned to the psychiatrist and said, "Your perception of reality is false," then shot the psychiatrist in the head, and the psychiatrist collapsed dead. The end.

The muslim faith, and Islam, is a Satanic doctrine: it is evil, as plainly seen by all. The point is that liars who proclaim the muslim/islam doctrine willingly serve the father of lies. Everyone will see their fate. "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." "Do not be afraid of them; everything concealed will be [publicly] revealed." -- Dear Mr. President: I offer to you this suggestion. The public knows your stated intentions and goals, and by those you were elected. Therefore, the time has come for silent action. Use the Marines to enforce the Constitution: if any federal official dissents, read to them the Constitution, and if any federal official rebels, read to them their "rights". Do not focus on re-election, but on turning the government into something that pleases The Lord Righteousness, God's only son. It is bad to test his patience, and I think the reasons to act outweigh any perceived reasons to wait, so I suggest for you to immediately act quickly. You were correct in your guess that you have a legal obligation to counter corruption: you are the official civilian executor, and as a civilian, and in your capacity, you use the military to keep the government lawful, because the domestic duty of President is to protect the government from traitorous corruption. With force, the presidency keeps the government in check, and when the government turns against its civilians and rebels against the Constitution, it is the role of the civilian President to defend the civilians using military force. As President, this action protects the nation from fascism. Thank you for your consideration. [Sent on Presidents' Day 2020.] -- Jesus is my only friend. Let us all be judged by God. Whoever submits to the lion will be eaten. Whoever submits to the dog will be growled at. Whoever submits to the snake will be bitten. Whoever submits to the bird will be pecked. Whoever submits to the squirrel will be scratched. Whoever submits to the weasel will be attacked. Whoever submits to the pig will be trampled. Whoever submits to the lamb will be comforted. All the injustice of men fuels their torment. They give each other authority because they lie to The Lord of Heaven and Earth. They open their mouths to destroy: they see the ruin their lies cause and then accept the role of murderer. Rule over the animals. Devour the lion with faith before it eats you. Silence the dog with love before it growls at you. Crush the head of the snake with trust before it bites you. Swat the bird with perseverance before it pecks you. Cage the squirrel with discipline before it scratches you. Strike the weasel with righteousness before it attacks you. Slaughter the pig with compassion before it tramples you. Honor the lamb with forgiveness before it weighs you. If you want to see the nature of a man, quote Jesus Christ. -- It is impossible for a human to make another human understand; no amount of explaining, no amount of communication, no amount of described context, will accurately and to the proper fullness represent an event or period of time... and the failure to communicate this will as a result fail to accurately convey perception or comprehension or anything else relevant, much less anything perceived as worth mentioning. Communication failure provokes frustration, which, when unchecked by disciplined restraint and willingness to listen and desire for knowledge of the truth, results in some form of interpersonal frustration and conflict. Persistent unwillingness to listen makes the communicative party avoid the non-understanding party. It is an act of kindness to listen; but it is actually kind to be gentle and humble and selfless and meek and compassionate and righteous... to desire to serve true justice. The overall failure of interpersonal communication causes frustration, and the lack of actual kindness causes conflict. Jesus Christ set an example for his students, and he explained this, "that you should do for each other as I have done for you". -- Nancy Pelosi tore US President Donald Trump's 2020 State of the Union address -- the copy she was handed -- and in so doing stated through internationally-broadcasted television, "Government corruption is plain for all to see, and nobody is going to stop us criminals from destroying the United States government and its people." Nancy Pelosi's action publicly broke 18 U.S. Code §2071, the punishment being a fine and up to three years imprisonment, "and [the forfeiture of] his office and [disqualification] from holding any office under the United States". Will Nancy Pelosi be fired, fined, and imprisoned? Will any justice occur in the US Government? Nancy Pelosi told the whole world that the US Government is her crime syndicate; as President Trump was encouraging good, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged evil. But this country, full of dumb, lazy, fat, inbred, ungrateful, foolish, arrogant narcissists, who have handed over all their critical thinking skills to elitist, scumbag, treacherous, filthy, liars in news media and government offices, will simply keep rolling over and playing dead like a bitch under its oppressive master's boot, and Nancy Pelosi and other criminals will keep smashing America's face into the ground... and NOBODY is going to come and rescue the American people from its oppressors who sit rich and cushy on the fat fiat financial piggy bank fueled by the idiotic taxpaying public who delight in the lies the fake media whisper into their ear like a lover before she stabs her husband in the gut. Oh but the words keep flowing as the military gets handed over to evil men. The US public cannot help but to chat all day on the traitorous internet web sites supplied by the criminal syndicate to identify and isolate dissidents. Above all the confusion and clamor, President Trump says, "America is respected again." So ends the United States of America, and so proven wrong is its last President, Donald Trump. -- At the Family Online Safety Institute's 2018 Annual Conference themed "Creating a Culture of Responsibility Online", First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, said as a guest speaker: "Good afternoon. Thank you, Stefan. It is good to be here with all of you to take part in the Family Online Safety Institute's Annual Conference. I want to thank all of you for being here today so we can address the important issue of online safety for our children. This year's conference theme is creating a culture of responsibility online, and that is one part of what my initiative "Be Best" is all about. As a mother to a young son, I feel strongly that we must begin teaching children at the very young age about the importance of online safety and responsible habits. As I am sure we can all agree, it is hard to go a day without using the internet; in fact, much of how we communicate is through networks or platforms including e-mail, messaging apps, texting, and social media. The ease of access and instant communication provides all of us with many benefits and opportunities such as the ability for people to connect on a global scale, access to educational tools, opportunities for ideas to spread and possibilities for the world to connect and grow. However, such growth in technology does not come without its challenges. When students attend school, sports clubs, or church, they learn how to interact with their peers in person. This includes how to be fair, respectful, trustworthy, and caring towards others. One of the challenging questions I have as a mother and as a first lady is how these interpersonal lessons can translate into our digital world. Today's technology provides people with the digital shield to hide behind, and being anonymous often takes the place of being caring and responsible, which can lead to children and adults feeling empowered to be unkind and, at times, cruel. I'm so glad that the organizations such as the family online safety institute can gather children and technology companies together to answer one vital question: how can we teach our children not just the importance of online safety, but the need for online responsibility? "Be Best" is dedicated to shining a light on programs that address this very question. Teaching children the importance of being safe and positive online is crucial to creating a better future for the next generation. We must give children the tools needed for success at a very young age, and this includes helping them grasp online responsibility and the importance of their overall well-being in the online world. As I have said before, it is not news or surprising to me that critics and the media have chosen to ridicule me for speaking out on this issue, and that's OK. I remain committed to tackling this topic, because it will provide a better world for our children. And I hope that, like I do, you will consider using their negative words as motivation to do all you can to bring awareness and understanding about responsible online behavior. In my time as first lady, I have been lucky to meet many bright children, teens, and young adults, who are taking leadership roles in online safety and responsibility among their peers. Earlier this summer, I met with students who are a part of Microsoft's Council for Digital Good, a platform designed to allow students to demonstrate their individual expressions about what it means to be civil in this digital age. Their projects were not just impressive, they have the capacity to create real impact, and I am so pleased to share the stage with a few of them today. They're our future leaders, and I applaud them for taking action and for the work they have done in promoting positive social media use. Please join me in applauding these amazing young adults. *applauds* And with that, I would like to begin the discussion and hear more about what these talented students have to share with all of us today. Thank you all and God bless the United States of America. *applause*." [transcribed from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLjHiQhf1FU ] -- Discernment comes from knowledge of the truth. Knowledge of the truth comes from love for the God of Truth, and love for his only son, who is Truth. If a man loves the God of the Living (who is the only true God) more than the man loves himself, then God will bless him fully. God and Jesus Christ said, "If you love me, you will obey my commands," and "This is my command: love each other as I have loved you." Loving a child means nurturing godliness in them, which means that God is the only genuine parent of a soul. It is neither discipline nor adherence to the truth that protects a man from corruption, but Jesus Christ's grace that gives absolute protection. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. To accept God through Jesus Christ one time is to cross over from death to life, and this is spiritually celebrated... and the spiritual food in that spiritual celebration is Jesus Christ's words which are spirit and life. So to eat spiritual food is to celebrate life and gain eternal life. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." One can be blessed by God and gain eternal life starting at any age. Only God knows when this happens, and the angels, always seeing God's face, know by God's face when to celebrate this event. The Holy Spirit does not come according to human will or control (demand by will) or desire, but by the request: trust and faith in the God of Truth are built by desire for understanding (which is the nature of the human mind) and listening to (God through) Jesus Christ. The Father is greater than The Son. The Son is greater than His Most Revered Holy Spirit. God anointed God's son with God's spirit. A being needs discernment -- discernment is a survival skill, and to harbor truth is to have discernment. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ; therefore, everyone who listens to Jesus Christ is granted discernment. God does not listen to the sinner, but to the godly man who does his will: "My Father's will is that whoever looks to the son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during the last day." God gives understanding to those he loves, but patience is something a man learns from God; God feeds the hungry, and eternal life should not be rushed. Only the truth can accurately measure. The pure eye sees the problem and the solution. The discernment of godly children reveals the path of justice. If you want to be able to perceive hidden corruption, you must gain a pure heart. Jesus Christ is the source of purity. He is The Lord Righteousness who returned to God The Father who alone is good. Righteousness means purity to goodness -- perfect imitation of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gives purity through his grace (the saving work he completed). It is Jesus Christ who reveals the liar. Discernment is given to the pure in heart: "Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God." If you want to be able to perceive all forms of corruption, you must be honest and humble by learning from Jesus Christ. Then you will not only see all problems in their various scopes, but their best solutions. "Therefore, whoever humbles himself like a little child is the greatest in The Kingdom of Heaven." It has all been fully explained by God. Wicked humans condemned the truth. How will The God of Truth handle them on The Last Day? How will they escape being condemned to Hell? "It is not what goes into a man's mouth, but what comes out of a man's mouth, that makes him 'unclean'. [...] Therefore, by their fruit, you will recognize them." -- The smallest, slightest, least significant, ephemeral thought of a thought of a whim, by a little child who is a student of Life, is greater than all the vast armies and might and strength and feared force and power of Death. Where then do you think safety is? -- If you want to know anything, you must value knowledge. If you want to know if people are social beings, consider which is better: God's words or man's words? Much can be understood about this, but it takes less effort to think than to speak. Thinking is faster than speaking. Forming a sentence or communicating externally, even if all mankind believes that is the only action that exists, even though such belief is a false doctrine (a lie), is slower and more work than thinking. One who thinks more than he speaks is considered anti-social. But the blind guides with loose tongues are enslaved to folly and delight to honor themselves with their words. -- I could argue that all psychiatrists are criminally insane, but nobody would believe me. -- Dear Mr. President: I am 33 years old. I do not remember exactly, but I think the first time I voted for a president, it was for George Bush, Junior. I remember being in high school in New Jersey on 9/11/2001. My schoolteacher said that there was some kind of accident or attack in New York City. Then we were told to go home. Then, I turned on the TV, as was my routine after school anyway, and I watched people die. The action and numerology of the date 9-1-1 suggested to me that the event was plotted, organized, staged, and deliberately intended. In other words, multiple people conspired and acted to show me the murder of many people on TV. Those buildings, I presumed, were in New York City, and those killed people, I presumed, were innocent civilian Americans. The president quickly asserted on television that it was "a terrorist attack" and his implied intention was some ephemeral retaliation in the form of giving himself an implied writ to kill even more people through as many seemingly irrelevant wars as he wanted. I later learned about his satanic background and that I would have done better to again refrain from voting at all. I guess people like talking about things they should not, and people tend to do things they should not. I did not vote for Obama. You are the first president for whom I have voted based upon the content of your words. You tell me that you are keeping your promises to me. (I am "an American person".) Your acts so far have been according to your promises. There are enemies among you: liars, murderers, people enslaved to immorality, and traitors. Purge them now. Video record: Gather your family in the oval office, let the marines bring one suspect at a time before your family, read the crime, let the suspect respond, ask each family member for opinion, then let the marines escort the suspect to prison to await trial. Do not expect the government to help you administer justice. They will fight you. I voted for you, not them. Don't fail. -- The President is an expert in construction. Let him show us how to build a house on a foundation that is swampland. -- The Holy Spirit breaks through the chains of slavery From evil and arrogance to safety and sanctity in Jesus the Truth From darkness and death to light and Jesus the Life From disaster and suffering to protection and healing He is my Justice and Hope, My Righteousness and Savior In God and Jesus alone I will trust, this is my God and my King, the Sovereign Lord God Almighty, the God of Life, the One and Only God. Why trust in God? My life is a testament to God's glory: He alone is Good and Saves. His Living Word cleans me and shows me the path of Trust, Yet not for my sake, but for the sake of His Righteous Name and Hand who exercises Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on the earth, for in these things He delights. I will be honest and delight in God's Mercy, for the Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. I shall want none other, I shall not find reason to fear. Why want none other? Why is there no reason to fear? He alone is Good and Saves. "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." I know He allows Existence and is in complete control. I know He loves me, for He never once cursed me, despite my sins. Instead, He laid down His Life for my salvation. All glory to God. If you look to God and pray to Him, on the day of disaster, God will gather you in His Hand, Jesus, and He will hide you and protect you, as a hen hides and protects her chicks under her wing. He will act for His Holy Name's sake, and because He has loved you with an everlasting love. I am weak, but God is Almighty, loves me, and saves with His Mighty Hand, Jesus Christ. God and Jesus Christ alone are Trustworthy, and because you trust in this One God, the only God, He will save you from the fire. Only God and His Son can be trusted, so put your faith in Him and be faithful to God, who is always faithful, by obeying God's commands of life, love, truth, peace, and every word that comes from His Mouth, Jesus Christ, His Living Word, the Way to God, the Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, and the Life with the God of Life. God alone is Good, so worship and serve Him only. Give all praise and glory to God and His Son, our King, and honor both the same, for they are One God Almighty, forever. -- The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!" But wisdom is proven right by its [actions/results]. (Matthew 11:19). Gluttony is not a sin. Greed is a sin. Getting drunk is not a sin. Malice is a sin. Being a friend to imperfect people is not a sin. Jesus explained. Why do people say, "the seven deadly sins"? Every sin is deadly: "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." Why do you think The God of Life, God of the Living, warned against sin? "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door. It desires to have you, but you must master it." That is, "everyone who sins is a slave to sin," so mastering sin means being an expert in avoiding sin. Fortunately, I have that in Jesus Christ. "Whoever believes will live and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." -- Every day, The Lord sustains me. The Lord hates me. He deprives me of happiness. He shows me my guilt. Reason forms against me. He hones compassion into a spear to drive into my soul. He slices my wrist and hand. Blood gushes from both my arms. I lay down in front of him so he will tread on me. He crushes me like how he forms mountains like a seal pressed onto clay. Animosity infects the meek around me. My fellow servants gnash their teeth and growl like dogs to each other. It is all my fault. Society, come imprison me because my obvious guilt threatens you. But the worst I can be given is my destiny. Revelry is a foreign language to me. How can I be happy when The Lord denies it of me? I am shown his words, but I have had enough; I throw my food at them. One moment he reproaches my laughter, the next moment he makes me pray, So that I will remember how I rely upon his whim and word to survive. He trains me like an animal. He shows me I am rebellious; I learn to hate myself. And I cry out of misery. The reminder of his covenant is like a wasp sting. It pierces me without permission, then quickly departs. The pain of my failure is the numb and swollen sore, the entry wound oozes puss. The sword has impaled me, driven right through me. My enemy threatens to rip my body in half with it, as if I were a sheet of paper. If I am paper, The Lord has written on me. But he does not frown upon the thought of my death. He does not smack one who assaults me. He does not deny my enemy the right to mock or threaten me. The Lord hates me; he himself threatens me. Cut me then. Look, my hands and wrists are still here. I write these words with them. You slice them even though I use them to praise you every day. With my hands and wrists I extol you and exhort the hearts of everyone I can to love you. I secretly hand them understanding. I proclaim your wisdom by the direction of your Most Revered Priest. He shows me things and I do not ignore you. My body is your object. I might as well be branded a sex slave with you as my rapist. Come spread your semen on my face whenever you want. Grab my head and rub my face into the ground. Let the dirt and sand and gravel tear up my eyes and burn off my features. Let my tears and pores lubricate my destruction. That is justice because that is your whim. Your plan and your words lord over my lifebreath. Your laugh casts my soul into darkness. The words I use to respond, I hate. There is no value in my life. My entire lifespan is a trinket of war you pick up, frown at, and toss away. It is then lost forever in the crust of your footstool, to be forgotten and burned with the elements. My own feet betray me by letting me walk. My fingers disgrace me by letting me write. I look at your sheep and think to myself: "They do not understand." I shun them with disgust. They mourn and you give them comprehension. Just to prove me wrong. Just to make my words false. Just to humiliate me among men, and to ruin whatever esteem I could have for my own mind. This mind you gave me and which you fed with life you now turn into a bitter candy. It is to be spit out. Ground to dust under men's feet. Wasted. So I say, "No, they do not understand." You agree and show me it is because only you can understand. Yes, my only solution is in the one who hates me and laughs to bring me into ruin. The one who rips happiness from my arms, then condemns me with guilt for being happy for but a moment. The one who entrusts me with time on his footstool. The one who rips me to shreds. The one who delights to hurt me. He who says, "I love you," then slams my head into the ground. This one, yes he, this one, yes, this God. This is my only hope. The one who hates me is the one who sustains me. My enemy is my only friend. The one who truly understands truly rejects me. The baby sheep wields the sharpest sword and aims it at me. Then proceeds to impale me with it. "You are my friend," he says. "You are my chosen instrument." Tell me again how much you love me. Let me flinch as I prepare for your spear in my gut. I am crippled and bent into a hunchback by the thought of your disapproving look. There is nothing for me but to hate myself. Your covenant, eternal, might as well be forgotten like gravity. It persists like a force of nature. But it cannot be broken. I will live forever, and my destiny is misery. The Lord has spoken. And The Lord will refrain from striking me, only to in effect strike me. The damage is irreversible. Fate is the damage and the weapon and the sheath. Come, Lord God destroyer, he who gives life and brings death. Come show the people your mighty power, how capable you are to destroy existence. You sustain, and Heaven and Earth will pass away. By your word you created and by your word you will destroy. I will be forgotten. There is not even hope through vanity, that your life forms might think about me. Or the words I write with these fingers, my ten enemies you set against me. Honor is denied to those God loves. But his enemies are dead where they stand. Look at what God did to his only son. What then will God do to his many enemies? "Do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves. [...] Because if men do this when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?" If people commit all the evils that come from their hearts while they are forgiven and have access to great understanding and have plenty of food, clothing, and shelter, then what will they do when that all runs out? If a politician commits treasonous crimes against their constituent neighbors while they are in office, what will they do when they are no longer in office? "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." -- I do not understand. A gnat is a small fly that is drawn to water. When the gnat touches the water's surface, the gnat drowns. Even though a man picks up the gnat and carefully dries it, and waits, the gnat has already died, and there is no way for the man to save it. "[...] and [The Earth's] inhabitants will die like flies. [...]" Should the man beseech The Lord God for a miracle to revive the gnat? Those who know God are paralyzed with fear. How can they not be afraid of him? How can they not obey him? Aren't those foolish questions that entertain their demise? The breath of a human does not give life. But in the slightest thought by God is enough power to do anything. Man will try and fail. And in failure will man repeatedly learn "apart from me you can do nothing". So it is better not to try, and to let every goal and dream begin and end in the mind. For a man to try is to have the man embrace his own mocking defeat. For the man to do is for him to next be scorned as a fool. In the slightest thought by Man is enough weakness to do nothing. Let him lie in bed all day and night. Let him get up, cripple himself, and throw himself back into bed. Let him learn the disgrace that it is to harbor a vision, a dream, a goal, a motivation, a thought. Let those around him mock him with encouragement, saying, "be strong!" When they get get back into their beds, they will be shown the consequences of their actions and loathe themselves. Let the mocker praise God. Let the mocker flatter himself and others; flattery is a trap for man, to get the man to harbor evil arrogance. Who then can feel good about themselves without welcoming folly? The mocker, the idiot, speaks. He glorifies words, and his mouth by opening it. The hungry man is a fool. He glorifies himself by eating. Survival is a sham; to survive is to embrace death. Living is arrogance; death is the punishment. There is no escape from a man's fate. Consider what Jesus Christ did. Is a man to be forgiven for eating food? Is eating food a crime, something worth punishing with death? Is it evil to live, to survive? "If you had known what these words mean -- 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' -- then you would not have condemned the innocent. The Sabbath Day was made for man, not man for The Sabbath Day. Therefore, The Son of Man is Lord of The Sabbath [Day]." If it is merciful to survive, then it is merciful to embrace one's own absolute failure. The fate of man will always be death and ruin. God raises up a man only to throw him back down to the ground. The faster he lifts the man, the harder he slams the man back down to the ground. The will is destroyed, the hope is shattered, the esteem is vaporized, the soul is ground underfoot. And the only hope I have is in the one who God placed here before me to have this all happen to him too. But did it all really happen to him too? Purity faces no disgrace. The physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering -- The Lord said, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death." In the end, he was glorified; but my end faces no glory, only severe defeat and disgrace, except for that one point of credit I have: that I have believed in the source of purity, Jesus Christ. All my dreams, my thoughts, my words, my ambitions, my ideas, my actions, my attempts, and everything in my possession, will be reduced to nothing, sooner or later. And it will hurt. Even if all my treasure is in Heaven and I have stored neither food nor wealth while on Earth, I will be completely ruined. God even ruined his only son; what then should happen to me? Go exalt yourselves, tragic fools. Go encourage each other, severe idiots. Only Jesus Christ will survive. Be merry or be humble; mourn in silence or laugh with joy -- what does it matter when you know that in the next moment punishment awaits you? Take the easy road or take the difficult road, be ambitious or cowardly, be brave or be prudent, be cautious or be reckless, it does not matter to God. To God, you are guilty and foolish regardless of what you do, say, or "accomplish". Will a man love God? God lords over the man with conscience and servitude. God drags down a human being, the one God created to be completely ruined, with kindness -- love appears to be hate, but not in its face. Both hatred and love drag a man down to ruin. One is nasty and the other is gentle, but both lead to the same destination: ruin. The self is destroyed, terribly abused. If God exalts you, beg for mercy. If God rebukes you, beg for mercy. Who knows? Maybe God will give you the worst possible discipline: not disciplining you at all. There is no escape or relief. Jesus Christ is God's discipline. Would you escape The Lord or his judgmentalism? No one will survive. Who then can stand, either in a purpose for or against God's Son? Who should open their mouths, and who should write, or type? Who should make a motion or form a thought? It is all reduced down, and when it hits the ground, it vanishes like vapor and -- behold, it is gone, to be remembered by no mind, to be exalted by no will. But in God's mind, it is still repaid by justice. God is the creator and the destroyer. I have known this since my youth. In my ridiculousness, I search the ruins for signs of hope. I search among the wicked for signs of life. I look in the desert for anything that I can point to and say, "Look, God, I see something that can be used -- there is a vector of hope for victory," but it is ridiculous because in me there is no vector of hope for victory. This too will be proven incorrect, wrong, and tragically a waste of breath. What value then is there in Jesus having led justice to victory, and in the nations placing their hope in him? Don't the nations, which will eventually betray faith in him, know that he brings ruin to them? A vacant lot is more blessed than a man. And to prove it, God makes the man return to dust. Man has betrayed God, and don't think that God has taken that lightly. But these words, if they were to survive throughout any duration of time, will not be exalted, but condemned. There is no escape from destruction. It is hopeless to think one could do well. Success is a fantasy; men use the concept to manipulate like mockers and flatterers. Who asked the flatterer or mocker for their opinion? Did I ask to be mocked? My very breath is an excuse for their verbal abuse. The fact that I am identifiable as an extant being gives the mocker an excuse to assault me. Don't they know I am already defeated by one they cannot fathom? What is mercy? Let me speak to the most number of people so that I may exponentially multiply my punishments. Yes, the punishment gathering over my head is my possession. Let me sell that possession to the poor. Surely this will please God: that I sell all my possessions and give to the poor. Let all men hate me because of Jesus Christ. Do you think people care? Ha! Go look and see how much they care. Then come back and tell me with your own bleeding lips how stupid you were. With the whim of a thought, God holds a man's life hostage. With his own mind, a man brings himself to ruin. With a word or an act, a moment of influence, he brings himself to disgrace. Jesus Christ said, "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." "I am not weak!" man shouts. I am sorry, I could not hear you. Perhaps your voice and my ears were too weak. Let me listen more carefully and you go ahead and shout louder, then maybe I will be able to hear what you are saying. Ready? Set? Go! -- Demoralize the men, rape the women, enslave the children, take the land. Easy. All you need is to take the guns and the media, and conquest is yours for the picking. Until Jesus sends his angels to collect the weeds and tie them into bundles to be burned. That's the truth the weeds don't want you to know. Have a lovely and passive incapacitated day, because tomorrow you lose everything. History repeating itself ad nauseum is so boring. I wish someone would do something a little more interesting to put as entertainment for me to watch on TV. *yawn* "Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit The Earth." "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" "Defend the weak and the needy, deliver them from the hand of the wicked." I wonder what these statements by God really mean. Anyway, I guess going out and getting myself killed is kind of pointless to the soul and harmful to the body. I wonder if there is a better way to impose my will on others -- I mean, to get what I want -- I mean, to convince people to do something to serve my desire -- I mean, to employ people -- I mean, to suggest something -- I mean, to communicate. Whew, dodged a bullet there, didn't I? Gotta get the right words, lest I cause confusion... or be criticized for what I said. God forbid; we can't have that. After all, if words accomplish nothing, how can actions accomplish anything? If I can't be convincing with a few words, how will I ever hope to be convincing with bigger, more imposing and unwieldy things like actions? God forbid I actually do something -- what do I want, to go to jail? Hell no! "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing further; rather, be afraid of the one who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the soul and the body into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. [...]" Words are so entertaining, but it's so boring to sit down and write and read and watch videos all the time. *sigh* Someone pour me a drink over there! One of these days, for sure, I'll get up off my royal posterior and spend some money on something. That should do the trick. One of these days, I tell you, I will get what I want. https://t.me/PainfullyRelatable/800 -- The two most unproductive things a person can do are stare at a wall and repeatedly travel. Oh my gosh, that is the entire domestic American citizen's way of life in a nutshell! How did this happen? -- A hungry man does not care about words. Words cannot be eaten. Store food that lasts, so that after you have eaten, you can talk and listen. A weapon breaks the social balance of influence. Employment is enslavement. Slavery begins and ends with food, until weapons are used. Because the solution to greed is death, man will never be free or content. He will work the ground until he returns to it, because dust he is and to dust he will return. Those who rule by fear are enslaved to fear. Those who use force will be ruined. Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword. Freedom is not gained by force of will, nor by work; they say that a man who does not work does not eat, but a man can do nothing yet grow fat. I guess they will have to eat their words, because a man can work day and night and yet have nothing to eat. Labor does not give justice. What does a person deserve? Give them what they want, because tomorrow they die. Gratify their desires to flatter them so you can get what you want out of them, because tomorrow they will lie down and not get back up. Entertain the fool's whims so that he dies, then plunder his corpse and distribute his wealth to the wise. But wisdom does not feed you; it is mere entertaining guidance for those already faithful to The Lord. -- Plan to survive. God brings death regardless of man's will. The smart man uses the time of prosperity to plan for surviving the next disaster. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/infowars_february_26_2020.mp4 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=natural+remedies+to+the+coronavirus&ia=web -- Coronavirus spreading unchecked in USA, thousands infected, exponential growth.

The wisest person who will ever exist was murdered. People are so foolish. The smartest person who will ever exist was murdered. People are so idiotic. The greatest person who will ever exist was murdered. People are so tragic. ...You see the pattern. Jesus Christ gave his life so that the worst scum of humanity could be eternally preserved by permanent forgiveness through simply believing him. There is no greater person to whom a person can listen, and there is no greater role model from whom a person can learn. If you want justice, tell people to repent of evil and believe the good news. Does everyone need Jesus Christ? Does everyone need the savior? Does everyone need to repent? To do what Jesus Christ does is to practice righteousness. But a righteous person is still in peril of sinning: "The soul that sins is the soul that will die." Jesus Christ died as the sacrificial lamb of God to intercede on behalf of every sinner who would believe in him. Thus, the sinner who believes in Jesus Christ has accepted The Lord Righteousness and is therefore permanently forgiven and will no longer die from any sin -- and those who believe in Jesus Christ are by God's faithful and loving kindness protected from sin and eternal death and eternal punishment. It is not enough to say "I believe" and move on with your life. Whoever would be his student must deny themselves, lay down their life (their heart, mind, soul and will) and follow (study, learn from, and imitate [be like or of]) God and Jesus Christ. "I have said that you are gods. You are all sons of The Most High." "No one can come to The Father except through me." (Or, without the double negative,) "One can only come to The Father through me." God said, "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" Why listen to Jesus Christ? Because "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from The Mouth of God." -- Human life is not disposable. "Let whomever among you who is without sin be the one to cast the first stone." Repent of evil, forgive from your heart those who sin against you, and live. "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life." -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/eternal_life_contract.png https://uni.galaxyverge.com/documents/eternal_life_contract.pdf Eternal Life Contract Offered by God Offered to Earth Beginning of Time March 20, 6 B.C. In pursuit of kindness, justice, righteousness, and truth to be provided by Creator God to all Creation including the inhabitants of Earth, the Creator agrees to the following terms: 1) Forgiveness: Every sin and blasphemy by the creature against The Creator and The Creator's Son will be forgiven by The Creator, but blasphemy against The Creator's Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 2) Eternal Life: Whoever believes in The Creator's Son has eternal life. The creature can no longer die, because the creature has crossed over from death to life. Because The Creator's Son lives, the creature also will live. 3) Intercession: The creature who believes in The Creator's Son becomes a member of The Creator's family. That creature will not be condemned, but judged as innocent because that creature accepted the flesh and blood of The Creator's only begotten Son. That creature may ask The Creator for anything according to the name of The Creator's Son, and The Creator will do it because the creature has believed in The Creator's one-and-only begotten Son. This belief constitutes acceptable service by the creature, and The Creator's Son becomes the creature's Righteousness and Salvation as the creature's Intercessor. This contract takes effect as soon as The Creator's Son accomplishes the work set forth by his Father. The Son will be on Earth as a servant and will seek the lost, heal the wounded, restore the weary, raise the dead, forgive the sinners, preach the good news to the poor, and proclaim the year of The Lord's favor. At The Creator's command, The Creator's Son will seek, rescue, teach, purify, freely and generously give and work, and lead justice to victory in fulfillment of The Scriptures. Both The Creator and the creature will not legally challenge this contract. This contract is bound by the flesh and blood of The Creator's Son. This contract may not be adulterated, altered, amended, annulled, argued, constrained, corrected, corrupted, deceived, defamed, defeated, defended, delayed, deleted, demoralized, denied, destroyed, disgraced, dishonored, disproven, disputed, ended, envied, expired, fabricated, faked, falsified, fooled, forged, forgotten, forsaken, hindered, ignored, improved, joked, killed, libeled, lied-about, limited, lost, maligned, misconstrued, misrepresented, negated, negotiated, over-enforced, perpetuated, perverted, provoked, put-off, re-conceived, recovered, reinterpreted, rejected, removed, replaced, rescheduled, rescinded, restated, revoked, rewritten, sampled, set aside, stalled, stolen, terminated, torn, undermined, usurped, or violated. This contract is eternally permanent. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Any questions about the purpose or reason for this contract may be asked by the creature and answered by The Creator, although it should suffice that The Creator says this contract is necessary. The Creator's Son The Creature Notary [Jesus Christ] [Yahweh] -- The most clever joke, the wisest words, the greatest insights, the most valuable information, and the most empowering messages, have all been forgotten. Everything worth remembering is forgotten. A man cannot hold onto a thought any longer than The Lord permits of his mind. To bring into focus that which was dismissed by God can only be accomplished by God. What God conceals, no one can reveal. What God covers, no one can uncover. What God hides, no one can perceive. Not even Jesus Christ can take from God what has not yet been shown to him by God. The depths of comprehension are permitted, not chased. Let there be light and let there be disclosure and let there be exposure and let there be irrefutable truth. I do not seek my own honor, and I am done with all my begging, my asserting, my requesting, my gratitude, and my giving towards God my Creator and my lifebreath. God tells the truth and knows and does not fail. Observation also has limited value -- only to my mind for my mood. None of that matters. When I die from the surface of Earth like a fly, it would not be right for another to be taught about me. I might as well remain hidden; my life has no value to man. Knowledge of me will benefit no one. Knowledge of my words, which herein I have in part recorded, will be given when the real books are opened and what I have done will be read to me. The abuse of humans I have faced every day of my life... I do not care what judgment comes upon me. I have no say, and I do not want a say because I have repeatedly been proven unreliable and incompetent. Shall God who knows best take my advice? Only to prove my folly. So I am done with all my giving, my responding, my documenting, my talking, and my words. Even if I am proven a liar, a miserable failure worth killing, or an animal struggling to survive that man decides to put down out of its misery, in my history, I have known God and Jesus Christ, I have tried to believe in him because I understood and he taught me every day, and despite whatever suffering I experience in the near or distant future, and despite any accusations or condemnations or guilt I have had or will have against me, this one fact outweighs all else in the matter of my fate. -- I have written much about what God and Jesus Christ say. I will mention one thing that Satan, the enemy, the deceiver, says: "Look how ineffective are God's words to bring about justice!" -- Now what's all this about government transparency I been hearin'? You ever seen a police officer speeding on a highway... and then put points on his own license? I haven't! In my faintest opinion, I do say that there don't make no sense nuttin'. -- I'm done with you people and your stupid social hierarchies. You go on and remain enslaved to arrogance and see how successful you each become until you die in misery and despair, your lives amounting to nothing but selfish greed and folly. -- Silence is acceptable for those who have Jesus Christ, because they have God's word within them. -- The Truth is free. Telling The Truth is expensive, and costs you your life. Fortunately, The Truth is The Life. Therefore, I will not be silenced. -- Everything looks simpler than it is to do. -- Them: God damn... So much drama. Can't this community just get along? People are literally dying and some tough boy wannabes here are arguing over liking/disliking a fucking website... Wow! Me: Are you upset about dying? We play this video game which has us pretend to use guns to kill each other repeatedly. If death is upsetting to you, here is your cure: "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." "Because I live, you also will live." Etcetera. "Do you still not understand?" Go learn and stop freaking out. -- Western civilization is based upon Christianity. If you want it, and everything that comes with it including human rights and freedom, to continue, then you will have to become a Christian. There is no other way. If you want civil liberty and human rights, become a Christian. If you want barbarianism and a short life span of torturous abuse, pretend to be an atheistic humanist and go live in a resultantly-war-torn, desolate civilization, where there is no concept of modern sanitation, and where physical abuse and emotional and psychological manipulation, and a struggle for basic survival, is the modus operandi. It is a simple concept of continuity of culture; but behind the curtain, it is the consequence of how God favors good over evil, so without becoming a Christian, you are essentially failing to sustain the only human civilization that cares about your life. You realize The Internet is constructed and maintained by Western Civilization, right? You take down the western civilization and the internet goes bye-bye. Any project in which a man might delight in undertaking on Earth is but a mere nuance of an object on a tabletop in a small room in the building that is Western Civilization. If the building is weakened and collapses, that fancy project of yours will collapse within a heap of rubble and would definitely be forgotten in the wreckage, completely overlooked by a salvager. -- There is no knowledge more hated than the truth. That is the seed sown along the path which the birds come and consume. Why are they so upset with me? I did not attack them; but they cannot control me because my knowledge does not submit to, nor subjects me to, their conjectures. -- I do not remember reading in The Holy Bible that Jesus Christ, The Son of God, said that he is The Christ, nor the phrase, "You don't know who you're talking to," or "Do you even know who you're talking to?" in any grammatical formation. Yet the Christian remembers and understands what he said. To the Christian, his words are very understandable and clear. To the Christian, all these things are known and understood, and wisdom is gained. But the hard-headed and cold-hearted stumble at every pitfall, as if they were deliberately using a tool to find every possible misunderstanding and comprehension failure and deliberately enter it. It is as if they do not really desire wisdom and understanding and knowledge. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "All men will hate you because of me. [...]" Truth is the most hated knowledge. Those who are on the side of truth are the most hated people. The honest man is an outcast; he is not of this world. As a fool reject explanations, a liar hates honesty. "The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight." And his enemies hate accurate scales and honesty and mercy and all good things and behaviors. Anything that glorifies oneself is enjoyed by an impure heart. Evil arrogance defiles the corrupt man with narcissism. Folly draws every evil towards itself into the foolish man's heart, and his enslavement to sin throws him into disaster and self-loathing. Arrogance, and its front-runner self-esteem, appear to the foolish man to be an alleviation of his self-loathing, but the man is deceived because he does not have an honest, pure heart. Righteousness and health and all good things are far from his reach. Instead, he moves to greed in an attempt to replace what he lacks. So the evils in a man's heart are perverted replacements for good; they are lies from Satan, the father of lies, who claims that man can live without God. Jesus Christ is Life and God is the God of the living; God and Jesus Christ created and sustains every life. It is not possible to be without God; and separation from Immanuel, God's Presence, is death. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me. If you [actually] knew me, you would also [therefore] know my Father. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. [...] the Father is in me and I am in the Father." If you are popular, you are probably not telling the truth. Luke 6:26. -- A restaurant is a building where people go to celebrate that they all know where their food is. Do you know where your food is? This treasure of yours, will it last beyond this world? Will your heart survive? Will your valuables remain with you beyond the grave? Are you stockpiling your own reserve to keep you fed every day and through the winters and the hardships in your life, or are you relying upon the "stockmarket" of the world? Is your food source also your food supplier, and does that entity care about your survival and your life? What does your source of sustenance think about you? Is your source of food valuing your life, or are they ambivalent were you anyone else or any other soul of happenstance existence and presence? In what value, exactly, and what guarantee, exactly, do you have that you will have your food every day? Is this not the basis of an economy? How economical are God's words towards keeping you alive, fed, and well? How satisfying are God's words to your body? Do they pass through the stomach like bread and keep you alive? Do you savor the taste of each bite? Is it rich in flavor? Or do you simply spit it back out and hastily wipe off your tongue? Do you favor the appearance of humans over the appearance of The Creator? Are you more delighted by the works of your own hands than by the works of The Creator's Hand? How deeply have you dived into every phrase? Matthew 13:52. Luke 20:41-47. Will you be poor or rich when you enter the afterlife? Luke 8:18. -- Do your worst, world of men. Although I may slip into longing to see one of the days of The Son of Man, and my soul, my body, my mind, and my heart, and all I have and am be damned to torment and Hell on Earth and beyond, I know the eternal fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy; although I do not see his salvation anywhere, and I beg for it yet not receive it, and I long for it and doubts assault me like cruel monsters, and my foundation erodes and my life fails, God does not change, God saves, God alone is good, and my current knowledge stands firm, although I do not survive, that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Doubt and re-education would like to destroy me, and they might win over me at some point. But I know the truth right now, and to him I will go. Although I am silent, he is the one who speaks what to say. Although I lose everything, and the suffering is horrid, my life is under his authority anyway. There is no accident, only failure of mortal understanding of divine work. For me to be upset and to disapprove of what God does and does not do, is a waste of effort. Those who belong to God hear what God says. Let them understand from his words. Good is not for evil. Yet The Lord of Heaven and Earth does good to evildoers. "Blessed are the merciful, because they will be shown mercy." Yet for now, God shows mercy to the cruel also. All at once, suffering was my friend. Then all at once, shame was my friend. Should it be said that The Lord does not want to hear from anyone? Is prayer a bad decision? Come, world of men, I am here for when you want to do your worst. Come test me, Lord God Sovereign King and Master Teacher, you know what to do. This is me: disgrace. Come gloat over my dust, murderers. Now is your brief moment of satisfaction; now is the time when you think you are giving thanks and service to God by destroying me. Bring it. I believe in Jesus Christ. -- God teaches his own, and everyone who hates the truth uses it for personal gain. -- Let me see, should I write insights about evil, or should I convey something about the only one who is good? I will write ambiguously so that those who are blessed will remember, and those who are cursed will become worse. He does not change. His power is beyond comparison. He is the Lord. It is OK for me to communicate the truth about him. He is the light of the world. I can rely upon him even when he hurts me. He will do what he said; he will bring me to himself when I die. In fact, I do not die, because his words have given me eternal life. The contract, the bargain, he made with me, gave me eternal life. He gave me the contract, and he makes me succeed in everything I do in this world. People fall in line, and the world submits to me; they cannot resist me because he is within me and guides my way. All my enemies avoid me because his power radiates from me. Those who do not listen to me regret their decision. Those who find my words conclude that there is great generosity flowing through me. Those who stand in my presence are unsettled by me. He has given me great power in my weakness. I can rely upon his words, even as I fail. The people gather against me; like moths to a flame, they throw themselves at me as if to snuff me out with their evils. They seek to drive me away with their foul odor. But I am hot; fire is in me; Hellfire fuels my soul; darkness is my secret depth; he is my guide. From a young age, I looked to him and thought, let my enemies come at me -- I will draw them in and trap them like The Abyss. The one who is trustworthy lets; he permits. As man cries because the worldly matters fail to support them and their works and their lives, he reminds me of his words. Because he is with me, I will not fail. They say to me, "You are small! You are so weak! You are a poor fool with no food to his words! I am your master! Abandon god and listen to me!" I laugh. The one who is in control is within me. Their argument is corporeal and mortal, and is made moot with the end of Heaven and Earth. Oh but the blind guides hate the truth; they fear God who reveals their falsehoods as sinful. Jesus Christ is the name that rescues from that game. God saves from perversion and disaster. All the evils of mankind and demons and devils and enemies and evil spirits -- all of this is undone by justice and set on the path of life, and problem solved, with success. What is a liar going to say to me? "Be quiet, do not speak, do not write, do not communicate, keep your beliefs to yourself, stop spreading lies, nobody wants to hear it, you are a failure, you are a loser, go away, leave me alone, worry about your own life." Such is the mindless reaction of the one who shirks discipline. I will convey insights about God, Jesus Christ, and His Most Revered Holy Spirit. Do my words come from demon-possession or some kind of surreptitious, back-door conjuring? Have I entered not by the gate but by some other means? Am I a thief and a robber? "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." When I offer my sister food, she says, "If I were hungry, I would get my own food." OK then. Get your own food. "Go and buy your own oil from those who sell it." I will keep my food to myself -- not that you could store any of it anyway. Am I greedy? Has God given me an abundance and I hoarded it all to myself? I offered, you refused, so feed yourself, oh mighty one! Sustain yourself, god! Be your own success! Sustain yourself with your nature! Radiate your great power and might and light so that all may praise your name and worship your image! Go light your own fires! Then lie down in torment! I am disgusted by humans. Not only do their bodies reek, their spirits reek. How am I the only human in Heaven or on Earth who says, "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy"? I do not belong here. I am not of this world. Listen to Jesus Christ. -- "[...] but the world must learn that I love my Father and do everything exactly as he has commanded me." (John 14:31). I should delight in Jesus Christ's obedience to his father, because that is the basis of my eternal life -- as he explains. I will delight in God, and the world cannot accept that (although they claim to be tolerant in order to avoid questions), because it neither sees him nor knows him. (John 14:15-17). -- In this world where humans are increasingly enslaved to arrogance, where people pretend to be God, I am the only one who says, "God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy." My entire life, I have listened and not heard that understanding from any human. That is understanding that is given through The Holy Spirit. It is of Jesus Christ. These people have no concept of reality. They are blind guides, and those who claim to be Christians keep talking as if they have not yet been disciplined. To operate in this world, simply realize that everyone thinks they are God. Then you can see how deluded they are -- the enslaving deceitfulness of foolish arrogance. Arrogance and folly are two evils; reality is known by everyone who belongs to God, everyone who hears what God says. But then why am I the only person who says that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy? Perhaps I am the only one to whom reality has been revealed. So I can quote and hand food around and most will slap away my hand and maybe one or two, three tops, will put it in their mouths and chew it. Where are your baby sheep -- your lambs? Where are your grown sheep? To whom should your words be given by my hand? Are you not already feeding them yourself just like you feed me? Shall I go about in prancing pleasure, dancing about and showing people how happy I am to be taught by God, who alone is good, every day and night? Is God to put all his words into me and not share them with anyone else, but give me some kind of power to grant understanding to others? No, Jesus explained already: "No one can come to me unless my Father draws/enables them," and "No one can come to The Father except through me." Should I simply continue this process of reason and logic, as if to prove to the ephemeral or otherworldly or those of this world that God's words are new mercies every morning? Should I pretend to be like Isaiah who is taught by God when he wakes up every day? I tell you, I hear from God all the time; and when it is not him speaking with words, it is him speaking with something else. But can I "share" (the word greedy people like using) what God has taught me at any given point? I ask His Most Revered, "Am I to attempt to duplicate or convey this information to others?" Has this not been stated ad nauseum before the world was created? Has not The Creator established understanding and knowledge through Jesus Christ before the creation of the world? Or do you honestly think that repentance and forgiveness of sins has not been extended to Satan and his angels? Can anyone come to The Father any other way than through Jesus Christ? Humans are so deluded; like wayward sheep. Wandering into interesting and enticing canyons a mile deep by stampeding together over cliff edges, and all to give the demons a hearty laugh at God's creatures. It is as if they want to prove to all creatures that God is untrustworthy. ...oh wait a minute. Maybe liars are incorrect. It is as if they want to prove to all creatures that Jesus Christ is laughable and worthy of scorn. ...oh wait a minute. Maybe murderers reject Jesus Christ, The Life, and his Father, The God of the Living, and his words, which are Spirit and Life. Lacking knowledge of God and Jesus Christ means lacking eternal life. "God is not mocked." Oh really? Maybe God is mocked, but what they intended for evil was intended by God for good. Do you not know that Jesus Christ suffered greatly, as he explained before, during, and after? Does God's handling of evil excuse evil? "God alone is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." Should God allow evil? Should God allow humans to have evil thoughts? Do you want God to control you? Don't humans delight in their "free will"? So naive humans are to not understand that God is in control. "Let there be light." Now let's fabricate some staged play among humans, like they are fancy puppets, and pretend to not know where The Sun came from, or how The Earth came to be. Oh I know, let's call it "The Big Bang" like it's some kind of Hollywood movie or TV show sensationalizing our "journalistic integrity"; we'll even get all the social hierarchy tiers involved: the parents, the police, the doctors, the lawyers, the politicians, and the law-making senators. But the children see. The lowest in the social hierarchy understand very well. "I praise you Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND EDUCATED, AND REVEALED THEM TO LITTLE CHILDREN. Yes, Father, because THIS WAS YOUR GOOD PLEASURE." Shall we pretend not to understand that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy? So then why am I the only one telling the truth? Oh. Maybe "all men will hate you because of me," and "everyone on the side of truth listens to me," and "I am the truth," and "they will treat you this way on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me," makes actual sense. Maybe! Yes, maybe the truth makes actual sense! Hey look, I'm an idiot! I like to say stupid things like "truth is true"! Hey! Let me go mock cursed imbeciles by pretending to be one of them! "Hurrr durrr..." "Hurrr durrr... listen to Jesus Christ, hur durrrr....." Does the greatest wisdom come from an imbecile? Should I keep asking rhetorical questions? How much you do not understand about reality! Oh but that's what the higher people in the social hierarchy tell you, isn't it? Are you ready to be taught by your child? "Only in his own house, in his own town, and among his own people, is a prophet without honor." So the prophet who tells the truth can only tell it in some foreign language because those who speak his native tongue hate the truth because they do not speak it themselves and thus in their enslavement to arrogance (or ego, as the idiot plagiarists [thieves away from Jesus Christ] call it) they compare themselves -- their narcissistic, fake, self-glorifying estimations of their social status as God -- to others, and thus, because they appear inferior by all reasonable standards, they must then put the speaking child to death, because they have implicitly blasphemed they who is God. Oh, what's this? You didn't know that evils collaborate? You didn't know that arrogance and folly are related, that they perpetuate murder? What, you didn't know that murder is from anger against The God of the Living? Hold on... how is it you don't know anything? Haven't you yet listened to Jesus Christ? What are you, some kind of mocking jester idiot fool, pretending to entertain evil folly in men's hearts? Say something smart that is true. I dare you. Accept the challenge. Do it now. ... Cat got your tongue? ... You gonna keep mocking like an idiot by trying to use my own words against me rather than have any willingness to retain the truth or capability to state the truth? "When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?" Oh but he knows the answer and is controlling the dialogue and the narrative and reality. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says." So then I don't have to speak, right, since nobody wants to listen TO ME anyway? Or do they simply not realize that what I am saying comes from God, as Jesus Christ explained? "Did God really tell you..." Satan prods. "The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." So then I will not speak to those who do not belong to God. Hang on just a moment, isn't that why I started with "These words are for those who believe in Jesus Christ and know God because of him."? So am I peddling entertainment to the few who already have eternal life? Hasn't Jesus Christ already answered all this many times over ad nauseum even before the creation of the world? Go look it up! Here is your search query: "What [I have] whispered into your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." Go buy oil for yourself. What's this? Do you think that you do not know who sells oil? Do you honestly believe you don't have the money to buy some oil? Oh so you had money for food, and for games, but not for oil? Let me tell you where to find the oil. Are you ready for it? Here it comes. Ready? Ready? Ready? Are you sure you're ready? Are you sure you're sure you're ready? Ready? Have you asked me to say it yet? Have you walked away yet because you are too impatient and missing the point of why I keep asking if you're ready? Here it comes suddenly! Here it is! Come out and meet him! Look, I now share with you the information of where you can buy oil for yourself! LISTEN. TO. JESUS. CHRIST. WHOSE. WORDS. ARE. RECORDED. IN. THE. HOLY. BIBLE. AS. GOD. SPEAKING. THROUGHOUT. ETERNITY. Retort: "Oh but you're just saying 'Know the lord,' and that will not continue forever. You waste my time." OK bub. Buh-bye. -- Let me talk about myself for a moment. In this space. I find myself in a constant social dilemma: I expect a social baseline, a prerequisite for my speaking, being that the listener has a grasp of the truth of reality. Unfortunately, this is not met in basically every situation, so not only do I not communicate, but when I do communicate, I do not receive a proper response. Don't take this in a condescending way, but I feel like I am always in a social scenario where I am trying to communicate with mental retards, because my desired listeners have no accurate concept of reality -- so how am I supposed to expect an intelligent response to my talking about any details of reality? I can't expect an intelligent response -- and all I get is verbal abuse in return, so what can I do but simply not initiate intelligent and insightful conversation? It's like you don't talk about producing cinderblocks in a public forum on the topic of parenting skills. It's just not suitable for the target listener audience at that time. And I get consistent results: low-quality responses and silence. So I'm going to use this Discord server to talk about this Ventus project -- and nothing of any real significance. I also talk about important things elsewhere, but they are monologues due to lack of audience with prerequisite comprehension. This is how I feel, this is what I see, this is how I have determined it is... for now, anyway. This is my social environment on Discord, and you are all welcome to talk about whatever you want here. But now you know why I am constantly deciding to not talk about those matters that have generated for me a cult-fabricated negative social reputation among some of you in the past. Maybe in the future my target audience will gain true insights beyond their current perspectives. But I'm not crossing my fingers and wishing upon a star in wait. That's all I want to say about that. [If I keep quiet, will the stones cry out?] -- Them: So right , if everyone had a gun and knew how to use it. This would be a much safe country. Thank you. Right to the point. Me: So you think that if anyone could kill anyone else at a whim, this would be a much safer country? What about what God and Jesus Christ explained thousands of years ago? Let me ask you a question that is more directly to the point: do you believe that God is just, that Jesus Christ led justice to victory? If you do, then you understand that man's "justice" is actually the opposite of justice -- it is revenge. So are you on the side of life or on the side of death? But this matter of truth and life I know you do not want to hear, because "all men will hate you because of me" and so there is no knowledge more hated than the truth. If personal defense is the path of justice, then why did Jesus Christ say, "Do not resist an evil person"? Or do you think that God is not just, and that Jesus Christ is a liar? Is Jesus Christ a liar, or is he The Absolute Truth as God's Living Mouth and Hand, the creator and sustainer of your very life-breath, who holds in his hand your life and all your paths? Do you have any accurate concept of reality? Or are you a blind guide, a blind man leading a blind man who both will fall into a pit? Should I leave you alone, or are you on the side of truth by listening to Jesus Christ? Do you not know God? Do you lack eternal life? Haven't you read, "Do not murder"? Have you not comprehended the meaning of "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth"? I think you know nothing. Have you never read Psalm 82:3-4? Are you still so dull that you don't realize the meaning of "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness," or are you a buffoon who refuses to acknowledge the faith and truth in "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me"? Can your gun save hearts and minds from sin and death? Can your gun move mountains, and save your life? "Put your sword back in its place, because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." Oh the folly of men; how tragic and disgusting your fate. All you had to do was listen to Jesus! -- You say participate in society, get out there and share the information, and so on. But people hate the truth. Otherwise, they would be listening to Jesus Christ. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." Now there is no knowledge more hated than the truth. Being a man of truth makes me a public enemy. How effective is that? Speaking the truth, no one is willing to listen to me. "All men will hate you because of me; but not a hair on your head will perish -- by standing firm, you will gain life." "Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!" This is what God said. This is what The Teacher said. And he also said, "No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than his sender. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me." And what is his name? "God Saves" So Satan says, "Look how ineffective justice is, and look how weak and useless Jesus is, and look how complicit God is in allowing evil. God is useless -- no, God is your enemy, the enemy of all mankind!" Here is the bottom line: Who among you knows that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy? -- What I am willing to say and what you are willing to hear differ, and what I know and what you are willing to know differ. So I'm silent. -- Do you know who attacked New York City on September 11, 2001, destroying 3 WTC buildings? Whose idea do you have? Do you know how they determined the identity of the attacker, and do you know if they were both honest to you and correct in their verdict? 25 votes (74 views): 56% No 44% Yes Do you think it is important to comprehend that thousands of people were slaughtered in New York City on international television? Do you think it is smart to truly identify the individual responsible for killing and destroying these people? How long is a reasonable period of time to wait for this accurate identification? It is now [removed], almost 19 years afterwards, and nobody seems to want correct knowledge about this act of war. In fact, there are people of voting and military-enlistment age who were born after this happened, who can only go by what other people tell them has been determined to be common knowledge. And it happened before they were born, so why should they care? So if nobody wants to know the truth, do you believe that anyone will arrive at an accurate understanding? Without this knowledge guiding intervention, are people simply crossing their fingers in meaningless hope that such an act of war will not happen again by the same individual towards even more people? What exactly is the responsibility, or social role, of the public, in identifying war criminals who murder their family members and friends and neighbors? Is the social role of the public to simply believe whatever comes from the mouth of anyone higher up than them in the ephemeral, make-believe social hierarchy? Once the public individual is told something, are they supposed to immediately believe it without thinking, and then move along with their social responsibilities in the social hierarchy, never to mention the matter again? AND WHO IS LORDING OVER THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, SUPPORTING THIS FALSE SOCIAL HIERARCHY DOCTRINE, PERPETUATING THEIR BEING BUTCHERED ON INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION BY WAR CRIMINALS? AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? GO WITH THE FLOW? CONTINUE TO PLAY ALONG WITH EVERY LIE AND MALICIOUS ACTION THEY EJACULATE ON YOU LIKE A SEX SLAVE BITCH? Without knowledge of truth, you have no course of action, and there is no knowledge more hated than the truth. Truth is selfless, compassionate, understanding, wise, and yet scorned. How can this be? "All men will hate you because of me," said Jesus Christ. Truth is the path of real justice, and it overturns the lies of the wicked. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me," said Jesus Christ. So the public delights in lies, while those who know the truth remain silent. Therefore, the public will "go with the flow" into destruction. And will The God of Truth save them after they have rejected righteousness because they hated the truth? The Coronavirus, COVID-19, is a lie. But the public delights in lies. Go with the flow, public! Go down into destruction -- be afraid and don't trust in God who holds in his hand your life and all your paths! Don't gain wisdom! Don't listen to the truth! Believe all the lies -- not just one lie, EVERY lie! Yes! Kill yourselves and your children! Slaughter the innocent! Kill, kill, kill! And when you're done ruining your own lives, ruin the lives of others! Believe the lies! All the lies! So many lies for you to delight in, day and night, so many wayward imagined beliefs and thoughts, go follow every whim of every tongue of every scoundrel! Delight in the fornication and folly! Yes! Destroy yourselves completely! Antagonize God as much as you can! Ignore God! Don't listen to the truth! Believe all the lies of the false prophets -- the professors and the preachers -- and live a life of confusion and madness! Ha! Ha ha! Ha ha ha! You can never know the truth! You will never understand or comprehend anything real -- all accurate knowledge will be hidden from you forever! Delight in your ways, great fools, great men! Call yourselves heroes, exalt yourselves as benefactors, sit on thrones and cast spiteful looks at each other! Proclaim your delusions throughout the world, and into space! You will die and burn with regret, in weeping and gnashing of teeth. All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. But you wanted lies instead. You think you're strong? Tell me that after you have returned to dust, foolish mortal. "[...] because dust you are, and to dust you will return," said Jesus Christ. You think you're smart? You've lived only what, 65 years? Surely you were there at the creation of the world, oh wise one! Educate me from your own experience, foolish liar! Give me your opinion about Genesis, idiot! Insist that reality is a false, great liar scum, refuse not even worth the trash heap! Talk to me, dead man, talk to me! Breathe life into my soul, corpse! "The 'gods' know nothing, they understand nothing," says The Ruler of Heaven and Earth. (Psalm 82:5). Keep talking, but never knowing! Move forward, blind guides -- take another step, I dare you! -- The virus is a lie. Just like 9/11/01, the perpetrator of that crime will neither be identified by the public nor accurately revealed through news media, but the public will, like it has for the past 19 years, lazily go with the wayward flow of whatever narrative those at the top of the social hierarchy tell them, and the liar will not be held accountable... until every soul is held accountable. Which is better, in your assessment: having a comfortable and happily-chatting company of many fools that politely tell you what they think you want to hear and play on your ego and entertain you with their imagined perverse delusions, or being alone and knowing the truth and not being allowed to speak it? Those are the only two options, because the world hates the truth. If you think "the coronavirus" is a test from God, it is really only a test in showing you how easily deceived you are and whether you yet have the knowledge of the fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The rest is a sham perpetuated by self-worshiping narcissists enslaved to evil arrogance because they reject the only cure to arrogance: accepting Jesus Christ, The Lord Righteousness, as their own Righteousness and Safety. If you want to see a liar, turn on the television; the deceiver clings to the microphone and attracts a large crowd like moths to a flame, but a man of truth speaks in private or not at all and attracts no one to himself -- because judgment has already been pronounced on this world. To be blessed means to be taught by God. "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." Therefore, to be cursed means to have truth hidden from you by God. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and educated and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." So in a world that delights in lies, The Spirit of Truth shows that "the wise and learned" are proven foolish and lacking, as they sit on the rungs of the social hierarchy above the little children, who must remain silent, although they have perceived and comprehended what their social lords and ladies will never know. Therefore, my assessment of "the coronavirus" is that this is one more example of the fact that there is no knowledge more hated than the truth; "All men will hate you because of me, but not a hair on your head will perish; by standing firm, you will gain life." And so lacking love for Jesus Christ who is The Truth, the world is so easily deceived -- so easily believes lies, and chases one lie to the next as if they delighted in being lied to, hearing the fancy of every slippery imagination. But this I have no permission to say, because I am not in the upper tiers of the social hierarchy. And the good news of the kingdom of God and the truth of reality the world has no permission to hear, because Satan, the father of lies, refuses to let any hope for that seed to take root on the hard path that is men's hearts on this backwards planet. "Professing to be wise, they became [enslaved to folly]." ------------------------------------------------ There is no knowledge more hated than the truth. ------------------------------------------------ -- It is easy to mock someone when your head is in the dirt, because the mocker embraces ignorance. -- How is God trustworthy? In answering this, I get another question. I am too tired to hold onto the maddening thoughts, the wayward thinking. I watch the thoughts vanish; they slip away from me like fish. God does this. The one who belongs to God lives and has understanding faith, yet all those who do not belong to God think that faith is a perilous blind trust worth the scorn of mortal thoughts. Yet God still holds in his hand their lives and all their paths. Let us listen to Jesus Christ for understanding. "Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from the will of your Heavenly Father. Even every hair on your head is numbered." Does God's mercy fail at death? What is the value of thanking God for temporary mercies or giving me what I want? I am not qualified to answer questions about God. In this social hierarchy, I will remain silent, because I am afraid that God will reproach me, and he speaks better anyway. I will tell you what I can do, and what is within my power, my grasp, my will. Yes, man can gloat about his capabilities, and I now tell you my capability, and this is my honor and that for which I am to be praised and glorified as a god. I can listen to Jesus Christ. "[...] Therefore, when you have done everything that you were told to do, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" There is no honor among men; the mortal that gives praise is like dust in the air. He searches his feeble thoughts for imaginations and metaphors and all he does is kick up the dirt with his words, and disgrace himself by perpetuating his lack of understanding. The mortal should be quiet; I should keep my thoughts to myself. A man's thoughts are obvious to The Lord. I don't need to open my mouth in order for God to hear me or know. "Then your Heavenly Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." "[...] Because your Heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask." God is not confused, but men are easily confused. And Jesus Christ is The Teacher, and said, "No one can come to The Father except through me." The presence of God with an individual is only possible through Immanuel, and knowledge of God and Jesus Christ (which is eternal life) is given only by Jesus Christ (at God's command; "Just as God raises the dead and gives them life, so he has granted The Son to have life in himself and give life to whomever he is pleased to give it."). And he said, "No one can come to me unless my Father [draws/enables] them, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." So if I were to boast, I would boast that I understand and know God, like he said that if one would boast they would boast in this. -- Many claim to be Christian in order to gain honor for themselves among men, but they have no truth in them. -- Did you know that the word "preach" has a negative, adverse social interpretation now? I guess telling people good news is an act of insurrection. Tell me again how smart people are by thinking that servitude is a declaration of social domination. Do you want help or not? Do you want good things for yourself or not? Make up your mind, slow people! Shall I say anything with the pronoun "God" to one who hates God? Am I to speak the truth to one who only has room for lies in their heart? Should I preach to one who hates knowledge of the truth? Should I call "student" one who does not want to learn? Should I call "wise man" one who wants various imaginations and not discernment? Will an ant scold an ant eater? Does a nail say "go away" to a hammer head? No, the truth has been beaten into the hearts and minds of the blessed, but the cruel only beat little children over the head with their wicked hands. Does The Lord abuse the innocent, or brainwash or indoctrinate with falsehood? One who craves righteousness is blessed to be filled with knowledge of The Lord Righteousness. The one who wants the truth will not complain to wholly pursue the truth and receive the reward of complete eternal life. When oneself is threatened to be forsaken in order to harbor infinite truth and life, realize that Jesus Christ quoted, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and thus took upon himself the laying down of his life before taking it back up again all for the obedience to his Father and our Father and his God and our God. If Jesus Christ, speaking through The Holy Spirit, calls God "my God" literally on two separate documented occasions, how then can Jesus be God according to what John writes, "and the word was God"? Let me make quite a "blasphemous" statement: Jesus Christ is not God. But I guess Christians don't actually listen to Jesus Christ, The Teacher. How can you know God and Jesus Christ (have eternal life) and yet not know that God is Jesus Christ's Heavenly Father? This does not require great feats of education and depth of comprehension. It's simple. God is Jesus Christ's father, and Jesus Christ is God's son. Jesus Christ explained that "the Father is in me and I am in the Father". Etcetera ad nauseum ad infinitum all showing the truth -- and do people still lack clarity? "Why are my words unclear to you?" -- People are stupid. Offer them eternal life for free and they think of you a swindler and a snake oil salesman, but sell some books and they think of you a reputable businessman. People are stupid. Tell them the answer and they ignore you, but stand there mute and they think you are a genius. People are stupid. Hand them the keys to eternal life and they slap away your hand, but sell them a Holy Bible on the pitch that it will bring them success and you'll swim in cash. People are stupid. They extol themselves and chase after loving compliments and act as lords and gods, but so easily forget that their life hinges upon the whim of The Lord God. People are stupid. Tell them they cannot hang themselves and they will attempt to prove you wrong, but tell them to listen to Jesus Christ and they will tell you to back off. People are stupid. Show intelligence or kindness and they become suspicious, but get anything you want from them by making any dirt look attractive. People are stupid. They reluctantly feel obligated to sit in a church pew once per holiday to see the glory of The Creator of The Universe, but then quickly flee that place to be first in line at the crowded football stadium to see some choreographed ball-kicking. People are stupid. Sell a long series of entertaining tomes and they call you a master at your craft, but summarize reality in a two-word sentence and they think you are a loon. Gotta love the depths of human stupidity. -- Fake social hierarchies are for foolish, lazy cowards. If you think someone is a lord or a king or a ruler, then you do not know God. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Seriously, how many times do I have to say this? One who uses a microphone and speaks on a stage to gain attention towards what they say is judged by what they say. If they say anything other than "listen to Jesus Christ" then the one who knows God thinks of them a swindling false prophet, a lying deceiver, one who states the bias of their own opinion to gain honor for themselves among blind men. Does God want to whisper into my ear and compel me to try to share the words only to give me attention to be complimented and praised by mortals as I attempt to repeat his words? Or is it better for me to share the pearls with pigs and dogs and be rejected so I can gain a great reward in Heaven because that his how their forefathers treated the prophets before me -- even though he said to not do that? Is there really a desired result in any of my communication? The results are always unsatisfactory; am I wrong to be disgusted with idiots? Do the faithless and the cowardly not enter the fiery lake of burning sulfur? Do I only ever communicate with liars? Should another wave of punishment and discipline, another fearful event, another hurricane, another earthquake, another famine, another plague, come and kill and destroy the works and words of the oh-so-smart and oh-so-powerful and oh-so-arrogant terminally ill idiots? God is not "of the dead, but of the living". How is it that people think that when you die you get to see God? Why don't people just listen to Jesus Christ? If I know they will not listen to me anyway, and if I know there will not be a satisfactory result anyway, yet I feel compelled to speak the truth to a liar fool, should I speak the truth? Or should I simply think, "let them listen to Jesus Christ"? Am I to be held accountable for not trying to correct a stubborn idiot? Is my knowledge that my words will accomplish nothing good worth having -- is correct knowledge of no value in God's sight? Do I simply go with a belief that what I am to say is somehow going to give more glory to Jesus Christ? He said, "You must be on your guard against men," so I ask, is it acceptable for me to know that someone will attack me if I tell them what God says, but I go ahead and say it, and they attack me -- and if God lets them kill me, will I be to blame when he judges me because I did not obey at least two of his commands and other things he said? Of what value is hope to a mortal -- do they have any role or responsibility in it? Shall I really speak to people? Shall I say, "No. Let them listen to Jesus Christ," and then continue to write more things than they will ever have capacity to think about, and many things they will never care about? Does God want me to share great wisdom -- hey, why not all his words -- with... oh wait a moment, no one at all is listening? Is there any value in documenting wisdom? Is there any wisdom to be gained by considering what I write? Do people who do not listen to Jesus Christ actually crave wisdom? Am I to be considered a wise person? Should I talk about myself? Can you not see the cruel dilemma I face in the harsh wickedness of humanity consisting of so many weeds which do not belong to God? Should I be seeking understanding from my fellow man? Why should I speak to a human anyway -- to any human at all? Shouldn't I rather say, "I will only speak to Jesus Christ"? Am I The Teacher? Am I expecting anything but incorrect, wrong, unsatisfactory responses from any human who perceives my communication? Have I not yet enough times said that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy? Will I be called a liar by fools so they may exalt their own enslaved perverse minds in their enslaved perverse hearts? Of what value is perversion to God who judges every soul? Will God care about what I communicate other than to hold me accountable on the day of judgment for even every careless word I say, acquitting me or condemning me by my words? And finally, if I were to know that silence is really the best for me to acquire, would it be possible for me, without God's blessing, to remain silent, and would this not constitute "whatever you did not do for one of the least of these [brothers of mine] you did not do for me", while any value from what I say God can simply teach someone without my having existed in the first place? This is what I will say in the matter of "to speak or not to speak, that is the question": "You don't want my knowledge." -- So I was going to praise God with a nice new song, but then I kept thinking about how stupid people are. Oh well, I guess I can't praise God with a nice new song now. -- Video Log 3, 4/19/2020: My comments about the Christian minister Dr. David Jeremiah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXYJUWv5vI Sorry if I ruin it for you. I suppose you could always just not listen to me or care about what I say or do, as usual and like everyone else. Oh yes, the alienation is real -- very real. And the very real God is weighing you and holding in his hand your life and all your paths. But the social hierarchy is fake -- very fake; the social hierarchy among men is a lie. The slaves to arrogance are unwilling to acknowledge this, because then they would have to face the reality of their weakness and, in their perverse hearts, accept that the only logical conclusion is the truth. No, it is better for the easily-deceived to "go from bad to worse", lest they gain understanding of God's free covenant of safety written in his only son's blood. There is no knowledge more hated than the truth. This is what happens when you try to use reason to appeal to the slaves of arrogance in the social hierarchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEn2sFwUcVk "There is no peace for the wicked," says The Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 48:22). -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/slaves_of_arrogance.mp3 In [this/the] world, full of trouble, Jesus is the way. He gave himself at The Father's command as light of day. The nations hope in him. But do they trust in him? They hate his words and blindly run right back into the night. Listen to him, he knows your struggle. Listen to him, he holds your life. Men rebel and fill the world with evil. Don't be like them; trust Jesus Christ, The Lamb. These are the slaves of arrogance. They all say 'listen to me'. Jesus would set them free. Biting flame from the heavens, broken from The Sun. Come coursing down over mountain and sea from Christ The One. Awaken sovereign hand. And open up the land. Entrench yourself with mighty wonder pealing with the light. Cut through the fear with blazing glory. Show us the way by light of day. Break the bonds that drag us down to evil. Come rescue us, O Lamb of God, Great King. These are the slaves of arrogance. They all say 'listen to me'. Jesus would set them free. Merciful is The Mighty, Gracious is The Son. The Lord forgives with the power of love to make us one. Receive his holy grace. The brilliance of his face. Don't turn away; there's nothing else for you in all the world. Trust in his name, don't waste your energy. Faith is the way to live each day. Pray and ask and anything he'll give you. The Lord alone can set you free from sin. These are the slaves of arrogance. They all say 'listen to me'. Jesus would set them free. -- Constitutional Lawyer Breaks Down His Lawsuit Against Michigan Governor For Unconstitutional Shutdown https://banned.video/watch?id=5e9fa0a89b6d3a00968913df Me: Where is the constitutional right to breathe? The social hierarchy is a lie. They are slaves of arrogance. Of course they are not on the side of truth. Have we so easily forgotten who is in control? I guess they don't teach in school -- not even in law school -- that God is Almighty and The Lord of Heaven's Armies. Yes, armies. Plural. Yes, ruler, as in monarch, as in what is said is done without question expediently under penalty of death. Yes, almighty, as in the only strength and greater than all which he controls as contained in weakness. The USA gets called imperialistic, or some other slight, yet people forget that Jesus Christ and God command multiple armies of immortal angels and reigns as Absolute Sovereign King, The Lord of Heaven and Earth. I guess those haughty schools missed that little detail, eh? The social hierarchy is a lie. Do not be deceived by the slaves of arrogance. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. But there is no knowledge more hated than the truth. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/ventus.png https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/waiting.wav -- A farmer had an apple tree with 5 branches, each which could produce up to 20 apples. One day, the farmer became impatient with the apple tree and decided to threaten it to produce apples faster by cutting off one of its branches. The next day, he saw that the apple tree still was not producing apples, but looked wilted, so he became angry and cut off another branch. The next day, there still were no apples on the apple tree. Controlling his anger, he waited yet another day, and went back to look for apples on the apple tree. He found one apple, but the tree was still not producing apples fast enough, so he decided to cut off another branch to see if cutting off branches caused the apple tree to produce the one apple -- he left the tree with the one branch that had the unripe apple on it, to see if the apple would ripen after another day. He came back the next day and looked at the apple tree. The one apple he hoped would ripen had fallen to the ground, the tree which he expected to produce 100 apples he now saw could only produce 40 apples, and the tree had gone into shock and died at the loss of most of its branches. So the farmer who waited and so greatly wanted 100 delectable apples from that apple tree ended up with only one decayed apple. -- Time answers many questions. -- "Prophesy! I want you to perform for me a song," they say. "Why? So you can be confused, and think how unpleasant I am to you, and laugh at me?" I say. "What? What are you talking about? Who is confused -- you make no sense. What a buffoon you are! Haha!" they reply. These are the slaves of arrogance. So their forefathers spread dishonor among the prophets and abused them before me. Shall I entrust my life to imbeciles? Shall I falsely say, "These people are trustworthy," when I myself can see through their treachery and the lies they fornicate? Shall I pretend to not be a god? Should I act as if I do not already have a proper foundation, as if I am confused, as if I do not already know, as if I have not yet comprehended, as if God does not speak to me all the time, as if I have no eyes or ears, as if Jesus Christ were not leading me, as if I were a blind guide, as if I did not belong to God, as if from birth he has not been my soul's craving and delight, as if the truth were something I could simply choose to rebel against or argue with, as if I did not really accept the fact that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy? Should I deny my nature and the truth, all simply to make some slaves of arrogance feel good about themselves? Deny all of reality to appease some deceivers? Is it just for me to reject justice and embrace my own destruction? Is death and improvement -- is evil good? Shall I abandon what is good and all the blessings of God just so I can waltz right into Hell? God is with me. Would not my mere presence scatter the cowards like ripples from a boulder dropped into a lake? The God of Truth and Truth Himself is within me forever. Should I enact a form a deception by pretending to lack all understanding? Am I their tester, as Jesus was with the disciples walking with him along the road, when he asked them what had happened and then opened the scriptures to their understanding? Should I pretend to be a slave of arrogance, to need the praise of men, to seek the approval of fools, to beg them for their crumbs as if I were not already imbued with vast eternal wealth permanently in my possession, as they hold their deceitful wealth in front of me like a carrot on a stick, themselves not knowing anything but the lies of their fake social hierarchies, as they lack all reason and meaning in their lives, chasing the imaginations of random passers-by -- should I seek their approval and fancy pats on my head? Do I need such people? Am I wrong to ask Jesus to save them? "My kingdom is not of this world," and their tastes are not my tastes -- "what is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." Their perversion destroys them. Jesus was numbered with the transgressors. Now Jesus is in Heaven. Who did he refine? To whom has the word of The Lord been revealed? Who among you fears God and obeys the word of his servant? "I know my sheep and my sheep know me..." So I walk into a church and open my mouth once, or twice, and the minister himself grabs my arm and drags me onto the front steps and tries to beat me. Matthew 10:17. But are they able to touch me? If I were to be killed, murdered by a priest or a church minister, would anyone care? If a mother aborts her infant, murders her child(ren), does anyone so much as want to know it happened? No, the deluded fools, claiming all others who know the truth are fools, are consumed by their delusion. And they do not know the definition of justice, nor can they except the truth -- The Spirit of Truth -- because they neither see him nor know him. But I know him, as Jesus Christ explained. To them, it is a game, a club house, a cult, that is their church. They are the leaders of the church. Yes, leaders! Lead on, blind guides! Onwards to the nearest pit! March on! Quickly now, lest anyone catch you in the act of deceit! Try absconding from The Day of Judgment. Hide in the depths of the ocean -- he will command the serpent to bite you. Hide in the distant galaxies; cloak yourselves in gravitational fields. From there he will drag you down. In your vast understanding, please, entertain me -- perform for me a song, jester -- oh do prophesy for me, great one. Quickly, before The Ancient of Days demands your life from you. I am content with being weak, because the one who holds me, from whose hand no one can remove me, is God Almighty. Fear him. -- An individual who disposes of nothing finds himself with no lack of materials. "Sell all your possessions," but how is this possible if you throw something into the trash? So a successful civilization uses reason, not money, and is responsible with its asset management and distribution. Their poor lack nothing and their rich delight to freely give. Their people are no longer physically divided, and consensus is far from them, and nothing is impossible for them -- but do they have humility? Do they love The Creator? Do their youth know God through the words of Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God? Do they know what mercy and justice mean, what God exercises and... do they delight in that which God delights? "Whoever loves me will obey my commands." "This is my command: love one another as I have loved you." Can someone be grateful yet disobedient? Matthew 9:28-31. -- Dear Mr. President and CDC false social hierarchy rulers: A vaccine is invasive, yet flawed. How do viruses end naturally? If the economy was doing so well, why did we not simply increase production of natural anti-viral solutions? If the government had so much money to spend, why not directly fund production of ideas, the conversion of proof into market, according to responsible action and reason? Is this nation too proud to be smart? I said use reason, not money -- and if there is a virus spreading, you have reason to weigh towards stopping it properly, and building infrastructure of safety, such as placing non-invasive antimicrobial 222nm lights on public transportation. The decision to close the country is the opposite of what should have been done -- to close the border was smart, but now the correct action to fortify people's lives, not destroy the economy, must be taken, or this proud nation will only become too weak to stand on its own feet. Let's see if you see through the lies and do what is just. Enough with the talk. No more press videos of speeches pandering bonus checks to anti-Christs. - What do you think? Will these people listen to me? ... -- Well I guess when there is no sincerity, and that is removed, nothing is really lost in its removal. [Nothing of value is really lost in the removal of insincerity.] -- "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, because theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven, because in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:10-12). And men will twist this to suit their malice. "I have told you these things so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do these things because they have not known The Father or me." (John 16:1-3). -- Why do I care about things not related to my own work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcfKeZgdXF8 Ask yourself then, what is the value of knowledge, if not to fuel and direct one's own action? One thing the internet teaches us is to sit back and be spoon-fed like disabled people. They came after our parents with the television, and now the pattern continues with the computer screen. *sit and stare at this flat electronic device we have created, as it feeds into your mind entertaining images and sounds we have devised for you; see, to sit back and relax is like an act of royalty sitting in luxury* Or you can think of the internet as a paid tool of communication. Don't pay, can't use. And those who refuse the system are thus exiled from "society", like me not having a smartphone (because I know too much) makes people think I am weird. The cruelty of dehumanization is all around, and silence only emboldens its tyranny over you. So when one idle soul sees there are no other active souls against it, the one idle soul remains idle, forming excuses for their inaction -- all under the banner of apathy and its brainchild ignorance. Then again, not everyone who works cares about money. "What is highly valuable among men is detestable in God's sight." "My Father is always at his work, even to this very day, and I am also working." Yet you might say, "TV and Internet are not related," so then I ask you why Verizon and Comcast offer bundles of TV and Internet access, if they are unrelated. -- I read this e-mail from Tommy Robinson's tr.news. Then I realized that the reason the mainstream media hates Russia and Tommy Robinson is because they both reject the media's deep state global takeover of massive genocidal murder out to lull you into a daze and then kill you slowly and painfully; it is a death cult of worldwide massive torture, and they have set up their takeover to "steal, kill, and destroy" you, as Jesus Christ explains is the goal of the thief. Note that God told mankind at the start to populate the whole Earth; then compare Genesis 11 to Genesis 12. You can then see what will happen in the future, because God said, "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." The smart person learns from Jesus Christ. - Tommy roughly gained 22,000 followers on TikTok, he had over one million views in the first week alone. His online following was growing in number every single day. Perhaps it was this rapid growth in popularity and following on this social media platform that prompted Labour MP Afzal Khan, the Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons, to take decisive action and pressure the UK Government to persuade China to ban Tommy Robinson from TikTok. https://www.tr.news/china-bends-the-knee-to-radical-islamist/ We believe that Tommy is possibly the first person ever to be banned from this platform, however, sadly it comes as no surprise. https://mcusercontent.com/d825060fe9e0f2b93719a1b5d/images/70ab9fc7-f81c-482b-bd42-9fa1fda2797c.jpeg CHINA REALLY IS "ASSHOE!"

Alex Jones is William Hicks. They are both "controlled opposition" by the enemy; "Jews" (Edomites, Satanists) are the enemy.

Leadership is doing what you know is right, regardless of the consequences." -- Alex Jones (https://banned.video/watch?id=5ea37d6df22b8c0049edc337 at 65:00) -- Me: I don't mean to beat a dead horse (or was it a ram that was his user icon?) but if Vulth-something said "I had to alt-F4 out of that so fast" at a video that I posted, then when I ask about it he pretends that my questions are somehow persecuting him and I must not ask questions, and he proceeds to attack me verbally, repeatedly cursing at me, then I find it ironic how when I told him so many times that he could leave, he apparently suddenly forgot how to alt-F4. Hm. I guess his social abuse really was a personal attack after all, including subsequent 5 direct messages to me. Whelp that horse is gone now, I mean somehow I must move on and accept that fact that I had to ban someone from this discord. Perhaps I am too tolerant of verbal abuse. Perhaps I should just ban anyone who curses at me, tells me to shut up, and is not only hypocritical, but fully inconsistent in their behavior, as if they were trying to socially dominate me. Or perhaps I should just ban anyone who says bad things about me. Especially talks trash about me behind my back to others when they think I don't know exactly what kind of person they are. Well, what do *you* think, [username] ? Do you think I should continue to be tolerant of personal attacks and insults, and forgiving towards those who have made themselves my enemies without reason? Do you think I should continue to share my work with self-important sociopaths, who pretend they don't care about what I do and yet use my work as the basis for their own efforts? Hm. It's worth discussing, I think. I look forward to your thoughts on the matter. I mean I do have a long-standing reputation, for better or for worse among the [removed] communities, as being a Christian, which you fully know about, and so do you think I should do the Christian thing and be nice and forgiving as has become expected of me over the years, towards people who openly insult me and slander me behind my back, and tell lies about me in their social groups? Or do you think maybe I should not act like a nice and passive Christian towards those people, who by any genuine assessment should be identified as cowardly liars? What do you think. [4.5 hours later] What's this? No response? You're ignoring me now? What, am I not worth your time? Are my words not good enough for you, not worth your consideration? Are you being rude to me? I will be nice and interpret this in a positive way, and say that you are simply not going to tell me what to do. That means that I will need to not listen to you, but instead be a leader, like Alex Jones said, and do what I know is right. What I know is right is what The Lord Righteousness, Jesus Christ, commanded of me to do. Because, see, being a Christian is a good thing, not a bad thing to make fun of behind my back. I wonder if any of you can tell me what God's commands are. I wonder if any of you know what being a Christian means. Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself [(as if they were you)]. Not to mention *every other thing* that God has said, my knowledge of which apparently somehow has become cause for the various [removed] communities to think of me as stupid and not worth listening to but worth incessant scorn and being overwhelmingly shunned. I wonder why my Discord status reads, "You don't want my knowledge.". Gee, I must be **crazy** because I know things! I mean, valuing what is right must somehow be deplorable by default nowadays! So the question becomes, should I respect those who think treating people with respect is wrong? And I get no answer from the community. As usual, I get completely ignored. **Nothing has changed.** Am I wrong, am I incorrect, to give myself the username "silent"? Do you think I should not communicate anymore, not do anything for, or be a part of, the [removed] communities anymore? So then why is it, when I leave, I am told, "Don't leave, you know so much, that would be a waste!"? Maybe I am not the one who should be leaving then. He who refuses to think becomes a slave of fools. I wonder if any of you have realized what "[my project name]" really means. Or what "[my one alias]" or "[another alias]" or "[yet another alias]" mean. Or "[my initial alias]". Do you know where the saying "spread the word" comes from? Do you know what the most valuable information one can know is? Or am I "a crazed programmer" who just thinks too much? Maybe you think I shouldn't communicate at all -- or maybe you think I need therapy. Maybe my words are just too exciting or provocative for you. Maybe it is wrong to ask the questions I ask, to expect greatness of thought within you. Maybe I expect too much, give too much respect, to you. Maybe I'm just out of your league. Maybe because I know and value what God says, there is no one who can properly communicate with me. Maybe then I really should be an outcast. Maybe I shouldn't socially dwell among kids and consider their computer games. But neither do adults accept me, because they are all enslaved to arrogance through the fake social hierarchy. Maybe the reason I get fired from my first and only job is because I actually know more than the homo employer knows. And my intelligence is a threat to their fake social hierarchy. So they insult me and pretend I am not a god in their midst. They pretend that they do not persecute me like their forefathers persecuted Christ and the prophets. They are more inclined to dishonor than to consider thinking. Should I speak to such people? Or should I remain silent. "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen. I scattered them like a whirlwind [...]" I will say it yet again: God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. Let that sink into your mind and permeate your consciousness; let those words be etched into your understanding like fire on rock. How many trillions of times must I say the truth before someone decides to listen? It is not the number of times, or the availability of the truth, that determines whether someone will listen -- it is whether God allows them to come to Jesus Christ that determines the cap, the stopper, the ceiling, of their understanding. "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father enables them." Ergo, what you were taught by men is choice is actually controlled by God. You see, men tell you it is choice because they want to rule over your mind in their fake social hierarchy. But "everyone on the side of truth listens to" Jesus Christ. I could speak to you words of vast wealth of comprehension and power, but God controls your capacity. And he is most generous to those he favors, to those he blesses. Yet people tend to delight in the lies their enemies tell them. Why? Because they have rebelled against The Sovereign Master. You know what? You guys don't listen to me anyway, I'll just put these kinds of things on my blog. I mean, there is a reason that medical doctors have stolen my notes, photocopied pages from my notebook and fled. But no, you guys just go about your business, what do I care. Enjoy your meaningless lives, and try to not get too depressed when moments of reflection occasionally come along and interfere with your large swaths of entertaining hypnotic trances. Oh and please, by all means, consider me according to the vast quantities of insults you have learned from all the morons you hang out with along the way. I'll just keep this chat entirely focused on Ventus, as if I thought so little of you, beyond vainly an insult to your existence. Just don't pretend I didn't try. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5ea21bf939fcae0096a2bf57 -- President Donald J. Trump ran his campaign with the slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA). What makes America great? Is it money, the laws, or the friendly people? Is it the common lifestyles or the variety? The only thing that makes America great is Jesus Christ. -- A government official is only corrupt when he lacks conscience, and he only lacks conscience while a citizen is not aiming the barrel of a gun at his head. Therefore, terrorism is godliness among corruption. A real adult acts because he knows Jesus Christ; and real purity comes from absorbing Jesus Christ's words, not from doing nothing to stop evil. Because God knows, a coward cannot hide, and apathy and distraction are cowardice, so bravery is purity, and purity is success, and any action that honors Jesus Christ is bravery. So anyone who acts to save life is a man of God who follows Jesus Christ the hero. Such is real patriotism, because nations are sustained by the brave. If you are confused about this, read what God said in Psalm 82:3-4 and Zechariah 7:9-10. What is the difference between apathy and inaction? Debating with a politician is like reasoning with a mosquito that is sucking your blood, because "if the government could, it would put a meter on your nose and tax you for the air you breathe" (Samuel J. Lanzalotti's dad). Not only will they engage in whatever banter they think you want, they will even do a song and dance and stroke your arrogance with flattery just to maintain the status quo. But after Jesus Christ has freed you from arrogance, and you comprehend that the social hierarchy is a lie, what then do you see when someone compliments or flatters or praises or commends you? When absolutely no one listens to you, then you know that you have struck the gold of truth. When men say to you, "You are doing God's work," what they are saying to you is that you are doing what they want you to do, but "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent". And God's work is salvation -- God Saves. The meaning of the name "Jesus" is God Saves. The act of repenting away from evil and believing The Good News is God's work. Doing it is doing what God wants every person to do. The righteous man does not need to repent, because the act of righteousness is acceptance of The Lord Righteousness. So good deeds are only found in obedience to God's Word and work; and this is why the wicked cannot accept the truth of The Good News: they serve revenge and themselves to the ignorance of truth, bringing them into hypocrisy. If you want to live, obey The Commandments: do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as if they were you. Do these things and you will live. The wicked say they own the planet, and the universe. And they work day and night to destroy it. People die left and right; we suffer horribly. And among all this, men clamor, "Listen to me, listen to me!" Have we so easily forgotten who is in control? "...but when The Son of Man returns, will he find faith on Earth?" -- "And then the sign of The Son of Man will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of The Earth. They will see The Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory. He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." (Matthew 24:30-31). https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/dies_irae.wav -- If you think the government is out to get you, they'll happily prove you right as they tell you that you are wrong. Because logic. Because reality. Because truth. -- I will fail every test, and Jesus Christ is my Righteousness. I lose blood, yet Jesus Christ is my Salvation. I have listened to people, and people have not listened to me. Those who tried to listen could not understand, and so I did not explain; they saw yet did not perceive, and they heard but did not understand. Even those who love God do not understand. My time here is limited, and he has cared for me. He has cared to discipline me. My time here was to show me a little bit of what Jesus Christ did -- the experience I gain is of Jesus Christ. Is it proof or evidence that you want, Satan? It will be made known when the books are opened and each soul is judged according to what it has done. Silence is my portion. I know because he has given me the knowledge. I feel because he has shown me what to feel. I skirt along the edge of death yet remain safe because he protects me. Even if he does not rescue me, even if the discipline is too much for me, even if I am brought to be condemned and destroyed, he controls the one who imbues me with the depth of vengeance to return right back to him. Thus he has given me what I asked: I am used as an instrument of his vengeance. I am a sickle swung at the faithless to reel them in, like a fish hook, and those who resist die on the edge. With gentleness and humbleness of heart, Jesus Christ already led justice to victory. Tetelestai. Do you think it must yet still be accomplished? And that you will be the one to accomplish it? Everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. No servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him; it is enough that the servant is like his master and the messenger like the one who sent him. If you hunger and thirst for righteousness, you will be filled. Eat his flesh and blood -- his words which are Spirit and Life. He has explained. Listen to him. -- Hey Info Wars. Just checking in again to see what you think. Constitution says civilians must be armed and ready to defend themselves against corrupt government tyranny. You say you don't advocate for violence, but your owner, Alex Jones, not only owns many guns but has prepared his flight, all the while saying you cannot submit. So the only option is to fight. God says to destroy their weapons. You claim to be believers in God. But your words are the opposite of what God says. And your actions are cowardly, because you would rather run, and run your mouths, than actually be anything other than pushover cowards. You even call yourselves "Info Wars", and you constantly say that it's war, but you do nothing but talk. Not only that, but when you do talk, you deny Christ his rightful place. I come along, and I listen to you, because I am a person who listens, as I have done my entire life, and true to form, nobody listens to me. I even turn myself into the police because I'm about to hammer/molotov the local Planned Parenthood, and I want to give society the benefit of the doubt. I use reason to overthrow all who stand in my way; my logic would blow you out of the water. None can stand against me with reason, because The Master guides me. So they all hate me without reason, even as some of them steal my work. I see the afflicted and the brainwashed among their fake social hierarchy, the slaves of arrogance. Do you think God has brought me here for no reason? Every word from my mouth, I can prove and defend, with painstaking dissertation, because I listen to Jesus Christ. But you have ignored God. I do not deserve 5G weapons used against me, but you say, "We deserve this". If you were on the side of truth, God would guide you, and you would no longer be blind guides. You may run and hide, even as you say the enemy runs and hides from their own weapons set up against us, but I tell you, you have not even touched the surface of what I would do. But I am poor and weak. -- Most Christians think that the following story has a happy ending: Once upon a time... whoops, you died. The End. But don't worry, you went to Heaven, so that's a happy ending. See, your death is a good thing -- no, it's a GREAT thing! Hm... which statement by Jesus Christ should I use to discredit this false belief. Hm... the choices are so many! I mean, I could write an essay proving how stupid people are. But then who would read it? And who would listen? No, I need to boost the evil within a human in order for them to listen to me. I choose silence. See, because to speak the truth to a fool is a waste of effort. "Leave them." But how do I leave everyone? Oh, yes, that's correct, I avoid everyone and say nothing when they speak to me, because they only delight to hear their own voices. -- ...Welcome to VK. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/vk_bot.png How does one handle rage? https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/dies_irae.wav When you are alone, the only one who delights in God who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things he delights, and you witness evil, and you know no one can stand against it, but God has given you power, what do you do? Do you listen to Psalm 82:3-4? Or do you trust in God and have faith that he will do everything for you, and simply ask once in Jesus' name, and believe that you have received it, and listen to 2 Corinthians 12:9? Do you gather mortals to you, like gathering dust for a storm, knowing they have no means to defend even themselves from the enemy, much less others from the enemy? Surely my arm is not too short to save. Surely The Arm of The Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. (Isaiah 59:1-2). The case is made, the evidence is shown, the witnesses are proven, the verdict is rendered, the audience has left, the judge gets up from the chair to leave the room, and the lights in the building are turned off, the security guard has locked the doors and gone home, and the defendant has gone through their box of tissues and has been escorted to their destination. "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely rules taught by men." You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men. The social hierarchy is a lie. The soul that sins is the soul that will die. Whoever draws the sword will die by the sword. Do not judge, or you will be judged; with the measure you use, it will be measured to you... and even more. But who can stand before The Lord? These are the slaves of arrogance. They destroy themselves. "Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." All men hate me because of Jesus Christ. There is no knowledge more hated than the truth. And the rage, the disgust, it only serves to fuel the work of God; because my God is in control and blesses me, every work of the enemy against me he turns against the enemy. If only you knew. If only you knew! When The Sovereign Lord, who holds in his hand your life and all your paths, protects you, he disciplines you, and no harm comes near you -- it flees whether you stand still or approach it. He who is loved by God is imbued with immense power -- because there is only one Strength, everything else is weakness -- and the pure in heart see God. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Fear his Most Revered. -- https://t.me/JackDawkins/5640 When they show you how easily they can disregard the law, you show them how easily you can disregard the law. Criminals seem all nice and gentle and meek when they are afraid of you, but notice how they walk each of you away into a location where they are no longer afraid of that one person they have kidnapped. First, they criminalize the men and take them away, nice and easily one at a time, then they do whatever they want with the women and children. The social hierarchy is a lie. What is the difference between two strangers in plain clothes handcuffing your mother and taking her away, and two strangers in a costume handcuffing your mother and taking her away? The difference is the clothes they have decided to put on, in a foolish attempt to gain authority because they wear fancy clothes. And you have all been trained like pitiful lapdogs to obey all the lies taught to you by the slaves of arrogance. "Deliver them from the hand of the wicked." -- God -- Danger is a delusion. Fear is your imagination. God is in control. Does this upset you? If we all took our time spent using computers and used it holding certain individuals' lives in account for their actions, this problem would quickly vanish. But no, it must fester and stink to Heaven, and still no one will lift a finger. Does this upset you? -- Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father understand. That is all that matters. -- I'm going to take a moment for a hypothetical, because who cares? If I were President of The United States, I would do the following: 1. Recall all military personnel immediately from all foreign nations. 2. Mandate by national security as integrity of law the initiation of public judicial panels that present for open public debate every public law, beginning with the most recent, and must include unbiased conclusions, the resulting alternatives considered superior, and the consequent determination for immediate annulment or alteration of any public law under debate at that time. The debates should be held at the public scope relevant to the public law: for example, national law as national debate, state law as state debate, county law as county debate, city law as city debate, and town law as town debate. A vote at the public scope shall determine which law to debate, and every public law must always be open to revision, according to the operation of reason. Every public government jurisdiction within a state shall own and maintain one plain document that contains the entirety of that government's law, and this document shall remain possessed by the state, and freely accessible to the public from the state. There shall be one plain document containing the entirety of current federal law readily and freely available to the public and every federal and state official must freely allow anyone within The United States to access this document. 3. Issue under emergency orders for the common civil defense that every American shall, at the age of 15, undergo one year of weekly training in the handling of firearms, one year of weekly training in their choice of martial arts, one year of weekly training in reasoning, logic, and social strategy, and two years of independent study towards the interests of God, and shall be required to keep a firearm or any other defensive armament starting no later than the beginning of their legal adult age. The firearm or other defensive armament may never be stolen from them by any national or state entity. In this matter, the training of each individual will be conducted by the parent or guardian under the guidance of their local police, military, militia training group, school department, or any other specialist(s) in these various practices. Every public training event shall be open to news media coverage and professional standards review by the public. 4. Present the idea of using reason instead of money. Dissolve the IRS and federal banking systems for the national currency. Rather, local currencies may be used, without any form of federal or state say, if agreed upon by the people in that area. The use of currency must remain optional, in less favor than the practice of reason. The purpose is to remove artificial hindrances of growth potential and to foster intelligence and discussion towards progress among the people. 5. Fortify the US Constitution with the removal of all limitations on domestic production, as long as such production is given proper opportunity for public debate to weigh, discuss, and evaluate reasons and possibly more favorable alternatives that any of those affected have decided to present for consideration during the preliminary period of local public debate. 6. Determine that it shall be those who have shown consistent value for human life, those who work to defend the cause of the weak and the needy and the helpless and the poor, and those of sound mind, continued discipline, a humble nature, and who practice discerning godliness in faithful adherence to the teaching by Jesus Christ, even though they are considered outcasts or strange, who should be considered most fit to lead. 7. Determine that there shall be no federal, state, or local law that disrespects The Ten Commandments, because this nation shall be recognized as one nation under God. Any law that promotes in any way any act of murder or other sinful crime must be immediately identified as questionable, be removed from federal and state purview, and determined to be within the realm of local public debate, and that conclusions should be clearly expressed locally, so that civilians may simply have the option of changing their state of residence should reason not prevail in local public debate and adversity persist for an unsatisfactory duration. Regarding crime, culpability may be determined at any public scope, and no public scope shall be held liable for harboring a criminal that has been found guilty at that public scope, but it will be only at the option of the law of the other location of the same public scope, or also of the next larger public scope (such as increasing to involve city, then county, then state, then federal) whether the culpability of that criminal may be considered valid, or if they should be retried at the larger scope. 8. Determine that no state shall undermine any civilian right explicitly codified as recognized in The US Constitution and Bill of Rights, under penalty of forfeiture of membership in the union. Furthermore, all civilians shall have the strict duty of holding their public officials accountable for their actions, because the public official is a public servant, and government is of, by, and for the people. Any official found guilty of malfeasance or treachery, after reasonable public court hearing, shall be given public notice, and at least one opportunity to correct their decisions. Any deliberate, intentional wrongdoing (malice) by a public official that results in injury or death of one or more people must result in that official immediately losing office, losing the right to hold any future office at that public scope, and receiving ten years imprisonment. The government shall be held accountable by the citizens, and shall never imply or impose any form of social hierarchy among the civilian population; public officials shall not be considered superior in any way by their having duty of office, because it is the meek individuals, the families, and the servants, who build and rule the land, as one nation under God, and the police and other government offices should not be involved unless absolutely necessary, such as to help defend the weak or needy against unjust forceful tyranny. 9. Propose the idea that society does not need lethal weapons. 10. Propose that any civilian may hold a public hearing of their own initiative, to be held at a public location appropriate for that public scope, and that it may be for the discussion of any reason towards any course of action. The people shall not be afraid to speak and share ideas, and no person shall be punished for their speaking, because godly discipline within each person, and kind respect towards each other, are necessary steps toward fortifying the people and unchaining the nation. Therefore, a successful nation under God must learn from God and exercise true justice, love mercy, and learn what it means to truly honor The Lord Righteousness. -- In my assessment, homosexuality is biologically unnatural, physically harmful, and the opposite of what God commanded. Therefore, the principle of homosexuality should be dismissed and the practice of homosexuality should not occur. If anyone disagrees with my assessment, let them come up with their own conclusions. -- "We have to, it's the law. The governor ordered it." So if the governor passed a law saying you had to give him all your money, and ordered you to kill yourself on the spot as quickly as possible, you would do that too? ...the concept of independence is so foreign to these sheeple; they have closed their eyes to God and fallen prey to the slaves of arrogance. The social hierarchy is a lie. What can I do but go out, talk to them, hear what they say, ask them a question, and then laugh uncontrollably at their folly, unable to stop myself from making fun of it? And all they can do is frown and walk away, because they refuse to think on their own. As if it were my fault they are so foolish I can't help but laugh constantly at them, even now. The delicate flowers, the pansies, saying the lawn mower doesn't exist... uh huh, sure, you keep telling yourselves that, every time you get cut down by some non-existent force and have to try to grow back. I mean the recognition of the sheer stupidity of people is nearly overwhelming. -- John Koletas said: If Masks WORK, why do Businesses Need to BE CLOSED? If They DON'T WORK, why are we forced to Wear Them? I'll Give Ya a Minute... -- Never question the fake social hierarchy, it only gets you into trouble. You must be weak and submit to your captors in order to survive; if you resist, your slave masters will beat you bloody. And that helps no one. I mean, just go with the flow; if it doesn't hurt you to run with the herd of pigs into the lake and be drowned, then just do it. ...I mean, at least it's a quick death. What more could a person ask for? What better life could a person have than to submit to their overlord and gain a nice, quick death? Surely that is all there is in life, and that is the best way to live. -- Here is an interesting question: how many bullets does it take to open the mind of a tyrant? Just one. They are willing to have their words jeopardize your life, but are they willing to have their words jeopardize their life? They call culpability "terrorism" and outlaw their own responsibility. Yet they claim power and dominance in their fake social hierarchy. I say, remind them that they too bleed red. They take your job away, so you take their job away. According to the CDC, only the CDC is allowed to stay in business. All other businesses must go bankrupt. The only person who is allowed to get their hair done is Hillary Clinton. No, everyone else has to be imprisoned in their homes and act like uneducated and untended slaves. If you don't see corruption and bias here, you might want to look into getting a brain transplant... while your local hospital still exists. I mean how docile and stupid are people anyway? You realize they are succeeding in indirectly killing you, right? And everybody is going along with it like it's common sense. What is common sense is to own a gun and have a functional local militia so that you could forcibly remove tyrants such as these -- well, at least it was common sense back in 1776. I guess in our advanced modern futuristic civilization, all the smart people, the real men who took action, stopped caring about you dumb people. Now I guess only words matter -- what are you trying to do, stave off your starvation by hurling out a defensive whirlwind of furious words? That's not how it works, and anyone who had a modicum of common sense would have buried these tyrants six feet under by now. President Fauci took away America's jobs. Will even one American take away Fauci's job? I mean, you're unemployed, so you have plenty of time and opportunity to do it. But I mean that would be terrorism, because you would be holding a grown man responsible for his actions. I mean, the prison system does that to you all the time, but God forbid these "gods" in our social hierarchy -- these divinely ordained shit puppets -- receive even a slap on their cheek for causing untold death and suffering and being insufferably evil. You want it? You do it. Otherwise, all you get is a bootprint on your face. Welcome to the New World Order. I like it: https://uni.galaxyverge.com/images/project_veritas_website_banner.png I mean they get to kill millions of people, and when one person calls them out on it, they respond, "You're a bad person for saying that." And the stupid lazy Americans who are afraid to go outside simply eat up their slavemasters' lies like they're sweet lollipops. How is this kind of behavior logical? What happened to "land of the free, home of the brave"? I see only enslavement and cowardice all around me. WTF is this? How are people such stupid pushovers? What an easy nation to conquer -- all one has to do is say "virus". BAM; the country is yours! Not even the Roman Catholic Church, the pope, had that kind of power back in feudal, medieval times. But now it's worse, and the deep state corrupt "President Fauci" of the CDC, seems to have taken over the world without any form of resistance at all. Be a hero. Kill Fausti. Save the world. -- sounds like a game ad, I think Where are the independent thinkers in this world? Where are the soldiers who fight for their fellow men, women, and children? I mean, I'm not advocating for violence. I'm only advocating for one bullet, carefully aimed at one person's head who has decided to anoint himself as ruler of the world and is paid by Bill Gates who openly says he wants to kill everyone, while the cult of idiots giggle like he made a funny. And all they do is deceive and murder and steal, because as Jesus Christ said, "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that [my sheep] may have life, and have it to the fullest." But we're all pussies who stare at computer monitors all day, and are completely fine with dying because our laziness has caused this society to become such a cesspool of wickedness. I mean, the decision to not defend your family's life is going to be the last decision you ever make. -- Sunshine patriots read the newspaper and wave flags and cheer. Winter warriors read The Holy Bible and wave weapons and say nothing. Sunshine patriots give the government authority. Winter warriors take the government's authority away. -- If I think I can simply ignore politics, what happens if I ask myself the question, "Do I have the legal right to disobey the law?" If I do not realize yet that I must have weapons to defend against unjust laws, I will definitely realize that after I've been falsely imprisoned. But what good is it to fasten your seatbelt after you have been ejected from the vehicle through the windshield and broken your neck and become paralyzed or gone into a coma? -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5eb5a5080c7b140079489860 "There is no killer virus." Gee I feel somehow vindicated by telling everyone "the virus is a lie". But I guess if the words come from my mouth, nobody cares. But if someone else says the words, it's "earth-shattering". Cool, cool. Then again, I say, "listen to Jesus Christ" because that's what God said. Not like any paid preacher is going to say that. I hate people so much. Not because of what I do, but because of what they do. The fools, they try to control everything and everyone. They can't even control themselves. Rife with hypocrisy and idiocy. And who does it inconvenience for them to cling to lies and proclaim them with all their words and actions everywhere? Me. A piece of my tooth broke off because my dentist cancelled all appointments last month. Now I have to lose some of my teeth. From reports, people are killing themselves out of fear and madness, and child abuse and crime are increasing rapidly. So what, do I get to sue my dentist because they refused to keep my appointment, resulting in permanent damage to my body? Of course not -- who is going to care, and who is going to do anything but turn around and blame me? I mean, I even had to cut my own hair because I can't go to a haircutter. What's the value of having a society if it will not function? And how can societal laws and rules continue if there is no functional society? Not to mention, they're all hypocrites and liars, "deceived and deceiving others". No, I have to be my own doctor, dentist, barber, etc. Great, why don't I just move to the wilderness then. So I don't have to be around these idiots. Whoops, there goes my software design plans. No electricity or EMF radiation in the wilderness. "Be independent" (LOL) OK but ... having a society means depending upon others. So that's another lie. I mean the lies are vast. I could go on for years. Just trying to respond to every idiotic statement by others. No wonder nobody pays attention to me -- I see through their bullshit and shove it right back in their face. So because I make them hate themselves, they choose to hate me instead. Because humility. It's fucking constant. I'm seriously one decision from walking away from everything. And do you think there are good professions? All I see is people trying to take advantage of me. I go to a therapist at they basically tell me I haven't met many nice people in my life, and that I would do better making the rules. I just look at her, seeing right through her idiotic flattery. You think if I were making rules, anyone would care? It's because I am superior that they hate me. It's called envy, which is an evil... And what I know these people cannot fathom. So I give the therapist an NDA and their legal department refuses to sign it. Because confidentiality. You think people follow their own rules? Their own lies destroy them. Why would you ignore God the Creator and sustainer of all life, and instead listen to someone like Fauci at the CDC and the WHO who wants to kill you? "Please, you must take our poisonous vaccines and stay away from antiviral sunlight which you need to survive." So you might be thinking, "Vaccines aren't poison!" Ok, George, so how does a vaccine work and what does a vaccine do? It's poison to trigger an autoimmune response to anything that happens to be in it. That's how it works. You think your allergy to peanuts and pollen is inherited, or genetic? Hahaha.... The malfeasance is ripe. ...but you should totally obey your arrogant slave masters who confuse "public servant" with "ruling tyrant monarch", because the social hierarchy is totally not a lie. You want independence? Let Jesus free you from enslavement to evil, and stop following blind guides who lead you into ruin, and start using reason instead of money. But no, those three things will never happen in "the land of the free and the home of the brave". Because people are just fucking stupid, thoroughbred faithless idiots. Shall I tolerate such as these? And for how long? Should I be nice and passive and pretend nothing is wrong and stroke their egos like all their "friends" do? Sorry, I'm not a manipulative, self-centered liar. They've got plenty enough of those all around them. but no, you and everyone else are definitely doing the right thing by ignoring me you should also ignore the fire extinguisher when your house is on fire because smartness https://banned.video/watch?id=5eb89198244ac5001d1f048c The Deep State actors know that Americans are so passive that they won't do anything until they are starving to death. That's why they kept the "essential workers" in business, to make sure people are nice and comfy and fed right until death. If I had a gun and some ammo... well, Mr. Jones, I think you can guess what I would be doing right now. So because people are nice and cozy until they hit the rocks at the bottom of the crag, those who think they are serving and protecting will do nothing to interfere with certain malicious individuals who have been murdering all this time. "Should I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?" -- Forgiveness is an act of justice. -- Jesus Christ did not wash his hands before eating or serving food, but healed people who doctors could not heal, and brought dead people back to life. -- https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/WatchPoliceArrestCoupleUnderMentalHealthOrderForTakingAStandAgainstTheGovernment.mp4 Thank God they filmed it on their smartphone. Now big tech can delete that so nobody knows it happened. Except now we know it happened. But what is the value of knowledge without action? Useless information. And what action is just in the face of injustice? Look at what Jesus Christ did. The Son of Man suffered much and was rejected by that generation, and now these people do to us what their forefathers did to The Son of Man. But public execution with a wooden cross is too much information for the public to handle. No, the executions must be private and hidden, and the abuse carried out surreptitiously, after they have pacified you with their irrational arguments about why they must be your enemy, and you must consent to their abuse. This is why we have guns and swords and knives, to defend ourselves against such as this. But this man correctly said that God is his authority, not evil mortal fools or the slaves of arrogance they serve. So this man will face what Jesus Christ faced. And on the last day, eyes will be opened, and you can see exactly how the evildoers in the face of judgment when every action of everyone is exposed for everyone else to see, still do not repent and change their ways, but their response is still insufferably disgusting. And then they will be the ones arrested by the angels and thrown into the worst possible super-max inescapable torture chamber to suffer for all eternity. You want justice? I tell you the truth, everyone will see God's justice, and even the slightest frown from God's face is pure abject terror to anyone. They will fear him, one way or another. "Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. But when The Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth?" Them (regarding abortion): I heard a video of some bitch saying 'dont knock it till you tried it' i flipped my shit... 'ok bitch, ill take a hammer to you and cut your head off with scissors, then i can knock it after i tried it...' murder is murder... Me: And do you know what God will do to murderers and all liars? "Leave them, they are guides of the blind." "It is mine to avenge. I will repay." Pray for your enemies to repent of evil and believe the good news of forgiveness of sins by faith in Jesus Christ. That is real justice; the rest is all just make-believe fake narrative. Jesus Christ already led justice to victory, and in his name the nations put their hope. "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." And he explained that The Father will love you because you believe in his son and will give you whatever you ask in his name -- Jesus means God Saves. You want real power to change lives for the better? Pray in the name of God's Living Salvation. -- Faithlessness leads to death. There is nothing more enraging than the folly of a faithless one hindering justice while thinking they are helping a victim. They will know regret, and be consumed by it. "How foolish you are and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not The Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on The Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. -- What can I say that is pleasing to The Lord? If I cannot say anything that is pleasing to The Lord, then I do not want to speak. Does it matter what I want, and who cares what I want? I do not want to speak anyway. I think instead. What can I think that is pleasing to my God? Do not bargain with evil. In my wayward thoughts, I have sinned against God and I do not deserve forgiveness. The "inclinations of my heart", yet I do not control them -- am I guilty of what I do not control? If I do not have control of myself, am I guilty? If a man is demon-possessed, does he sin by what the evil spirits use him to say and do? God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy, God alone is good, and I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. God is not deceived, and explained that "the soul that sins is the soul that will die". But a person can only be harmed by evil spirits if Jesus Christ is not within them keeping them safe -- if Jesus Christ has not saved them, kept them safe, then they are vulnerable to evil. Yet I can be masturbating to pornography and not be committing adultery because Jesus protects my heart from lust ("strong sexual desire"), so I am not disobeying "whoever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart". So I do not sin, because Jesus protects me from evil. The Intercessor is my intercessor and my righteousness. Yet you might haughtily ask me, "Do you know what grace is?" To this I might respond, "Listen to Jesus Christ if you want to know God." But I reserve the right to speak, or share information with fools, or to leave them alone because they are blind guides. And are you capable of thinking anything that is pleasing to your God? Then go exalt yourself, grand fool. Go exalt yourself with your words, show me that you have the knowledge and power to grant life and raise the dead. Go then along the path of evil and in your enslavement to arrogance show me how much better than God you are. Maybe I'll get to see you be splattered into dust under the weight of regret because "whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted". Oh, but they have made themselves my enemies without reason. I will let God your Creator answer you -- "The Lord rebuke you, Accuser!" The words of my Shepherd make me calm and cry and laugh with delight. Jesus explains; my Teacher explains to me everything, as he explained: "Everything I have learned from The Father I have made known to you," and "He will guide you into fullness of Truth," and "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." Am I to be diminished as "a child of God", or am I to be exalted as "a god of God"? Do you want to judge me -- should you pretend to know everything and have real absolute power and have any real strength? Should I tell you what to do, or should I just go with what Abraham said, "Let them listen to Moses and The Prophets"? I know and have done and you are not a part of that, you are not a part of my life. That I would speak to you or communicate at all with you is for your benefit, and gives more examples of "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me". Jesus explained that the interests of God are for me to listen to Jesus Christ, believe God through Jesus Christ, and for Jesus Christ to do the work which has for thousands of years now been completed. That is pleasing to God. Do you believe that I have the right to assert what God says? Do you believe that I have the right to praise Jesus Christ? Do you believe that I have the right to praise the only one who really loves me, protects me, teaches me, gives me delight, listens to me, is in control, and is the wisest and best being for me to trust and love with all my heart, mind, soul and will? Do you REALLY want to try to get between The Jealous One and me -- who he sent his Jealousy to die on the cross for just to protect me? I'll rephrase that: do you think it is smart for any creature or thing to try to replace Jesus Christ with themselves or any other creature or thing? Would you like to just sign your death warrant now, or do you just want to vanish like smoke without a trace? And I do mean "just". God exalts me through Jesus Christ, and it is an honor to be associated (in any way) with Jesus Christ. But I do not deserve his mercy; "My Grace is sufficient for you, because My Power is made Pure in Weakness." He is The Source of Purity. The Lord Righteousness. He has praised God for me. His temple is in me and becomes my temple. There is none other, and there is no place for another in my heart, mind, soul, or will. But the knowledge is consuming and cannot take root in those who have no room for Jesus Christ's words, as Jesus Christ explained. Among the worries of this life and desires for other things, remember what God wants and seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and afterwards, everything else you need will be given to you. The Lord takes care of his own. Wherever they may be. Will he let you starve? Does he who controls life and death want to let you go hungry? Even his slaves have an abundance of food. Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God; so he will satisfy both your body and your soul, you of little faith. Take a chance, have some faith by entrusting God with all your heart, mind, soul, and will. He who created the inside created the outside also; be generous to others, even though you have little. Listen to Jesus Christ who sits at the right hand (innocent) of God in Heaven and who reigns with all authority in Heaven and on Earth, and he will do what he wants with you. Yes, remember this: the social hierarchy is a lie, because of God and Jesus Christ. Who are the rulers, the authorities? To whom should you submit? "Submit to the authorities" identifies mortals as authorities, but who holds in his hand their lives and all their paths? Who is the real authority? "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples [(disciple means student, someone who learns)] of all nations, baptizing them into the name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I assure you that I am always with you -- even until the very end of The Age." -- I am adding another entry. It's my comment on a video warning us of the upcoming forced vaccinations. (I mean, at some point you have to ask yourself, is it really worth dying to keep ignoring all these warning messages.) https://banned.video/watch?id=5ec074b4244ac5001d28f085 I go by this, and I even sent a message via whitehouse.gov's contact form: If Roger Stone sees more than 24 hours in prison, neither I nor anyone else in their right mind will vote for President Trump in 2020. Now even if all of this narrative is a lie, then I see that President Trump won't even do the right thing with his current presidency in the context of a narrative. How then can I expect him to do what is right in something not fabricated? "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." I know that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy; evildoers have spread these lies only to attack Christianity -- it has all been an attack on Christianity from the start. The virus is a lie. Do not comply. You have the right to praise Jesus Christ. That's how I see it. All these narratives have been an attack on Christianity, because it is Christianity that promotes freedom, because God is the author of freedom. But I know nobody cares what I say. So it's going to come down to this: if anyone tries to stick me with a needle, I am going to stick them with a knife. And by me, I mean both me and anyone else in my vicinity, because I know the actual meaning of "eye for an eye". -- Faith in Jesus is my dunce cap. When I do not have faith in Jesus, I am a dunce. -- Faith. Trust. Peace. Truth. Safety. Life. Love. Justice. Happiness. Delight. Humility. Righteousness. Purity. Compassion. Mercy. Honor. Faithfulness. Generosity. Integrity. Wisdom. Thoughtfulness. Kindness. Discipline. Grace. Knowledge. Courage. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5ec5836c244ac5001d2e371e Me: Not sure if writing here is worth the time or effort since nobody cares or listens anyway. But if anyone does read this, I'll write one thing for your witnessing. Early on in this virus false narrative event, I asked Jesus Christ if I would survive the virus. He gave me a very interesting response, and now I am starting to see how it makes sense (I don't mean that in a diminishing meaning). There is so much I could tell you, but who cares? You go on and ask him yourself and see if he thinks you are worth his time. -- The more you know, the more reason you have to hate and kill people. If you have ever tried to forgive, you may have noticed how difficult it is to forgive. So think about how much more effort God exercises by forgiving everyone completely at God's own expense. "Because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever would believe in him will not perish but have eternal life." So how much do you owe God, and will Jesus Christ say to you "your sins are forgiven, your faith has saved you, go in peace"? Will you forgive those who owe you something? I asked Jesus Christ to forgive for me, and I accepted his forgiveness on my behalf. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- https://youtu.be/pV-HJUoKITA I am not a Christian. I do not accept Christianity. The terms "Christian" and "Christianity" are what non-believers, people on the outside who lack comprehension, use. "And on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it." Does this sound to you like it deserves a title of religion called "Christianity"? Is it not a description of reality? Therefore, Christianity is unacceptable to me, and I am not a Christian. I denounce Christianity and all its corruption of paganism and faithlessness. Rather, everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. What is the name of the true religion then, what is the name of Jesus Christ's church? "Destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days." But who cares what I say? Who listens to me? Who decides to open their ears to my words and understand what I say in their heart? God knows and understands, so I will focus on him and ignore the ignorant chaff that entertains themselves with my presence. They do not perceive who I am, why I am, or what I do, so how can they understand what I say? How can they gain any kind of desire to listen to me? Have I not disclosed these words openly to the world? But these things remain hidden to those on the outside because they refuse to humble themselves to Jesus Christ. Oh but they will be humbled, one way or another. But if it is forced upon them, what are they doing more than others? Have I not been loving and merciful and compassionate on these people? Yet still they reject me; return to me and I will return to you. When I called, they would not listen, so when they called, I would not listen. But I am the last. After me, the hammer falls. By not listening to me, punishment comes. So what happens if I am silent? They have already chosen to not listen to Jesus Christ, to not acknowledge his absolute forgiveness and absolute love. Therefore they do not know the absolute truth, which means they dwell as dead people in darkness and confusion and fear and misery. Should I feel sorry for fools? No, I will not feel sorry for them or pity them; let them beg pity of Jesus Christ. They love to rebel -- haven't you read? How foolish and how enslaved to evil do you have to be in order to not learn from one beating after the next. Oh the dreaded discipline and happiness, let's never gain understanding but continue to brainwash each other with wayward lies, as many as we can imagine! Let us pervert ourselves and our minds and our hearts and our souls and our wills and our imaginations with detestable evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. So many replacements for God we have to choose from -- never succeeding and never having peace, always blaming, always accusing like our father Satan ("Satan" means "Accuser"), always pretending to expose the flaws of others yet in hypocrisy denying ourselves and others genuine justice, always trying to speak on our own to gain honor for ourselves to be seen by men and honored in some old or new fake social hierarchy a lie to lord over them as if we had any godliness in us at all... Will God tolerate these atheists forever? "I will not contend with these forever!" God says as he holds in his hand the atheists, and as Satan says to God "drop them" into the fire below. Is death your friend, supreme fool? "I give life and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." This is what The God of The Living said. Are not all these people in such tragic error? Do so-called Christians even know what is real, or what they so-called believe? Who will judge the Christians? They think they love, but they know nothing. Oh to look down on your fellow man, that is not justice nor humility. How am I the only person who says "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy"? Am I the only person who knows the truth? Why do I dwell among fools? Do I honestly expect any fool to comprehend the wisdom God has generously shown me? And what am I saying the greatest wisdom is? LISTEN TO JESUS CHRIST. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5ec858dc199ea500249769fe Me: I wrote about this earlier. Here is the short version. The virus is a lie. Do not comply. You have the right to praise Jesus Christ. Yes, it has always been an attack on actual Christianity, because Jesus Christ is The Author of Freedom. So much to be said about this. Anyone who gets between you and God is looking to get ruined. "I am a jealous God," and jealousy means desiring what belongs to you. "I am burning with jealousy over Zion." Jesus Christ is God's Jealousy. "Listen to him!" Them: Off topic but: The upside down cross is a Catholic symbol Alex it's nothing to do with Satanism Them 2: You know nothing about Black Magic. If you think Melina Gates was wearing an upside down cross to show her solidarity with Catholicism, then you are the biggest fool on this planet. Them: She's an outspoken Catholic. It's Saint Peter's cross that represents him not feeling worthy to be crucified the same way as Jesus so he chose to be crucified upside down Me: Yes, but... she is the one advocating for your persecution. Does this make sense? "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." Prophet and professor are related to the word profess, which means to speak. False prophet or false professor or false professing or false speaking means *lying*; as Jesus explained, Satan was a murderer from the beginning and when he lies he speaks his native language because he is a liar and the father of lies. The very act of attempting to change your gender is an act of embracing lies and deception about yourself, even physically. Much to be said about this. Listen to Jesus Christ if you want to understand. What else can I say? That is the greatest wisdom: listen to Jesus Christ. *shrug* Everyone on the side of truth listens to him, and because he tells the truth, liars do not believe him. It is as Jesus explained. -- Me: I missed this event, since I just joined Nextdoor. But I have some information to share. I'd like to share with you this video of an interview with a registered nurse talking about COVID-19. The same web site has many other viral videos of doctors and medical professionals talking about their expertise and recommendations regarding their studies in virology, immunology, and microbiology. Overwhelmingly, hundreds of doctors and nurses, and even many professionals in the military, have clearly explained that sunlight and its Vitamin D3, which is essential for human survival, destroys the virus RNA, and that wearing a face mask is hazardous to one's own health for several reasons. Additionally, it has been tested independently and shown that the virus is not transmissible through surface contact, both indoor and obviously outdoor. So people should please stop sterilizing things and acting obsessive compulsive in paranoid delusion over this common cold virus strain. I would recommend we simply go about our business and take activities to the outdoors when possible. I mean there is thousands of years of medical science telling us that isolating the healthy is the exact opposite of what should be done. The human immune system requires germs, otherwise we get opportunistic infections and die. You don't want to continue insisting that we harm our immune systems so we get sick and die, do you? I do not know who has been advising you, but I humbly request that you pay close attention to the truth of what actual medical professionals know and profess about their own tests and medical institution stats. Here are two videos I recommend watching in pursuit of correct information and sound doctrine: https://banned.video/watch?id=5ea4994ea881fd00808e95ad&t=75 https://banned.video/watch?id=5ecb0656199ea50024999a9e Also, "COVID TEST DOESN'T TEST FOR COVID": https://jchristoff.com/covid-test-doesnt-test-for-covid/ Good luck to you and God bless Delaware! Them: This comment is harmful to people. You are promoting websites with Alex Jones and crackpot theories that are going to encourage people to do things that will put them in more danger. Is that the reason you joined Nextdoor? Them 2: [Addressing Them] It is not dangerous at all! There SHOULD be adult people here who can do their own research, and not be censored! Me: [Addressing Them] Anger brings death. Forgiveness harbors understanding and supports life. "Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together." -- Goethe "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other." -- God "Forgive, and you will be forgiven." -- Jesus Christ "Put your sword back in its place, because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." -- Jesus Christ I am not your psychotherapist, but I can see in all the messages I have seen from you on this web site that you are angry. Learn from God or face the consequences of your resulting violence. The strife you spread comes from your enslavement to arrogance. "Whoever sins is a slave to sin." -- Jesus Christ "From within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from within a man's heart and make him 'unclean'. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean'." -- Jesus Christ So if you want me to take what you say seriously, then pull up your pants like an adult and learn. I am not your confidant or friend with whom you would share your problems. "There is no peace for the wicked." -- God Anger brings violence and violence brings death. But you don't want to learn because you are not a man of truth. "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." -- Jesus Christ If you were a man of truth, you would belong to God and hear God's voice. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." -- Jesus Christ "Yet because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!" -- Jesus Christ I do not appreciate your mindless libel of the American patriot Alex Jones. Today is Memorial Day. I find your libel of a patriot most unpleasant. The hypocrisy you display in your words excessive. You will face the consequences like everyone else from whose experience you refuse to learn. God bless you. But I don't know, that is between you and God. Maybe God doesn't teach you because you refuse to listen. "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen." -- God Keep accusing me of malice. "Satan" means "accuser". It's simply more reward for me in Heaven. "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven, because that is how their forefathers treated the prophets before you." -- Jesus Christ "If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first." -- Jesus Christ "Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them. They are guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." -- Jesus Christ Your words sow anger and divide to destroy. "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined." -- Jesus Christ This nation is called "The United States of America" and if you value your freedom of speech, then you will not seek to harm its exercise in others. "Love your neighbor as [if they were you]." -- Jesus Christ So I will judge you by your own words. All your words on this web site have been careless and violent, meant to divide and accuse and control and destroy others. Is that the reason you joined Nextdoor? Shall I answer someone who does not want understanding, because they would rather continue fearfully clinging to their anger and arrogance, and therefore not humble themselves to God who would permit them to understand? No thank you. It is not my place to play God. I have already seen what happens to arrogant people doing that. I am intelligent enough to learn from others. And I can see that what Alex Jones says reflects that Alex Jones is a righteous man. I also see that wicked men hate Alex Jones. Good day to you. -- The opinions of dishonorable people who disrespect Jesus Christ mean nothing to me. -- Them 1: I tell you what's crumbling? the left vs right narrative. Trump can end this lockdown by simply overriding all governors' order but he won't because he's in on it. Them 2: actually i read that he can't override the governor. Cuomo is on a killing spree he doesn't want to stop. Them 3: [to Them 2] Stop making excused for Dear Leader. Trump shut down the country, and gave his power away. He could stop this insanity today, but the Fat Fool is busy tweeting and playing golf while America speeds toward economic collapse. Them 3: Exactly. The Fat Fool could stop this insane lockdown today, but he won't. Trump is the snake he warned about in his campaign rallies. We just weren't paying attention. Me: The real narrative is that you exalt humans as God and are learning how foolish you are to be so easily deceived by slaves of arrogance and their fake social hierarchy. Have you so easily forgotten who is in control? Or don't you want to get better? Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Them: We all make mistakes. Thinking that Trump was not the New World Order is one of them. Me: I don't trust anyone except God and Jesus Christ who grants blessing. -- Me: If you want to see through the lies, then listen to The Absolute Truth. -- This is how the federal government can use reason and not money. - A new corporate identity is established called Reasonable Business (RB). An RB operates using reason, not money. This identity is secondary to existing corporate identities such as C-corporation, S-corporation, and Limited Liability Company, because any corporation may change its procedures to operate as an RB by using reason rather than money. Nomenclature identification "(RB)" suffixes "Inc." and "LLC". - No federal law or operation shall be directly intended to hinder or hold liable the operating procedures or growth of any RB. The federal government may only become involved in the event the activities of an RB present themselves by reason to form a clear and imminent, current, or past hazard to public health or safety and the RB and its location and state of operation have thus failed to properly operate self-governance. - Any state law or operation of governance that is intended to directly hinder or terminate the operating procedures or growth of any RB must win in an Open Public Court Of Reason and Ethics (OPCORE) that is welcoming of the hearing of every involved person. No one should be made afraid to communicate. The court of reason should operate with the service of at least one federal judge, one state judge, one magistrate local to the relevant area of operation of the RB, one criminal defense attorney, one constitutional civil liberties defense attorney, and one prosecutor. The state must prove weight of ethics and reason to the public before it may pass any law or operation of governance directly hindering or terminating the operation or growth of any RB, and the RB must operate without infringing upon statutes that are based upon overweighing ethics and reason. A public court of reason may only alter a law in order to adhere to superior ethics and reason. - Any domestic resident can start and hold a business without federal or state fees; as long as that business operates using reason and not money, the business entity is exempt from all taxes. That business shall be identified as an RB. - Every existing and new LLC must operate in, and use the court system within, the state in which it is registered as incorporated. The owner of a single-member LLC must have their personal physical residence, or personal mailing address, and area of operation at least within the state in which the business is incorporated. This paragraph is intended to change existing rules to prohibit a person from incorporating an LLC in a different location than the area primarily affected by the operation of their LLC. - Any business that operates internationally must abide by the laws local to its operations; it must quickly cease and desist in a location any of its actions executed there if it is clear that such actions are unlawful in that location. - The penalties for unlawful activity by an LLC-based RB are limited to changes in operating procedures, changes of operating personnel, termination of business, remedial efforts, community service, and imprisonment. - The owner of any business that serves its local community and operates according to reason rather than money is exempt from all personal taxes. - The employees of any business that serves its local community by offering primarily domestically-produced products are exempt from all personal taxes. - It is permitted for any American citizen and any American business to ethically, reasonably, and lawfully trade using the US dollar, any US state or local currency, or system of barter. The Federal Reserve and all its assets are hereby owned and operated by the United States government, and the Internal Revenue Service will continue to manage taxes for those domestic entities that continue to use the US dollar. - There shall be no public law, statue, or ordinance that requires money from any person too young or old to work in the field they have chosen according to free reason. The people shall not be made afraid to freely think. The people's growth shall not be artificially hindered by money or unreasonable limitations on domestic trade growth. Everyone must learn to value and exercise mercy and compassion; this is one nation under God, The Author of Freedom who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things he delights. -- If you think the government is not a criminal organization, then you are not paying attention. They are guilty of every evil that comes from within a man's heart: - evil thoughts - sexual immorality - theft - murder - adultery - greed - malice - deceit - lewdness - envy - slander - arrogance - folly They are a sinful organization that constantly steals, kills, and destroys; do you think that they will repent of evil? Don't you see the epitome of hypocrisy in them? The government is evil and the embodiment of hypocrisy. Shall we take a majority vote? The fault of government lies on the souls of the evildoers and those who do nothing to stop their evil actions. The very least you can do is pray to God that these people stop doing evil. "Jesus, please save." Notice how I did not say, "People, please save." Do you know why? Because we've had this entire time to do something, and yet we have merely continued being helpless. And that's only one reason. -- People who have faith in God do not get publicity. -- Them: Questions for Barnes: What is preventing people from using citizen grand juries and True Bills to remove oath breakers from office? I believe that if usage of this tool, that was left to us, would take off like the 2nd Amendment sanctuary movement did, then we would be making some real progress in shucking this cloak of global communism that has been draped over this Republic. No one. . . NO ONE is talking about this. That tells me it is an answer to many of our ills. Me: Let me speak of myself. I will speak of myself. I know God and Jesus and His Most Revered, and I know the meaning of life, and I know what it means to learn from God. I have vast wealth of wisdom and understanding and perception that makes other people look like they should stop talking and let me speak. Now I have attempted to share good things -- paths to victory -- with people. And they treat me like their forefathers treated Jesus Christ, exactly as Jesus Christ explained. What we see now is simply people on their way out trying to shame and deceive and harm those who are blessed. I have all of existence and God as proof for my understanding. What does that make me? That makes me a god among men -- a wise man among fools. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." Take that, Bill Gates! -- I am done sharing information. Forgiveness is available through Jesus Christ to all who want it. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times seven!" (Matthew 18:21-22). ("Correction" applied to the number.) The wise and learned will point out that this is in reference to "If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold" from Genesis 4:24, but they are missing the voice and the point of what God is saying. Jesus is playing with the number 7, poetically beautiful to its numerical representation of the Sabbath Day and how he explained, "The Sabbath Day was made for man, not man for the Sabbath Day," and that is the point: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice; righteousness rather than burnt offerings," and so to put it simply, Jesus gave the dog whistle to explain that the law is to serve justice, not justice to serve the law. But lacking the love of God, these people could not understand, and so they were seen as vulnerable and attacked by The Accuser who would use "the law" against them, which Jesus Christ then interceded against and revealed that meaning of the law is to serve Justice, and so the legitimate "lawyers" or "Pharisees" and "teachers of the law" could only "escape being condemned to Hell" by listening to, learning from, and accepting the words of God through Jesus Christ. But no one is forcing anyone to understand the truth; it is for their own benefit to gain eternal life, and this is only possible as Jesus explained: "No one can come to me unless my Father draws them [to me] and I will raise them up during The Last Day." And he continued to present the kindness, righteousness, and justice of forgiveness with a parable. God saves. Even though people and "things" die, God explained, "I give life and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand," and "Not even a bird falls to the ground outside the [care/will] of your Heavenly Father," and "No one can remove them from my hand [;...] No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." So what is life and death to me? So what if people suffer and die? Should I accept any more tests from God? Is it fair if I can't do anything? I am weak. I have faith and trust in God and Jesus Christ. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5ed3a6205a4d68002fb95e25 "AUSTIN RIOTS 5-30-2020 HD COMPILATION (RAW AND UNCENSORED)" Me: Who among you will speak on behalf of The Lord? Where are the priests, the holy men? Where are the angels (messengers)? Is God incapable? Do you not believe that God is real? It is as Jesus Christ explained. And the land suffers by the hand and mouth of the faithless. Does God use a camera and microphone to publish his voice online? Do the people want to destroy themselves? The Lord is patient and merciful, and exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth because in these things he delights. A violent protest does not protest violence. "You killed an innocent man, now I kill you." So then you like killing. Jesus Christ commanded his sheep to love their enemies and do good to those who hate them and pray for those who persecute them so that his sheep would be sons of their Father in Heaven who is kind to the grateful and the ungrateful, to both the righteous and the wicked. So I ask you again, where are the gods among men? "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen." -- Gonna die anyway. Who cares how? And who really cares how many people die when? "I give life and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." -- God What matters is God's plans, which is real life and death, not this symbolic representation of it as it affects our corporeal dust. -- I am silent because people do not want to hear the truth. Be patient and do not put The Lord your God to the test. God is patient with me and I should be patient with God; God waited for me and I should wait for God. "This is the verdict: Light has entered the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does evil hates the light and will not step into the light out of fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." -- "And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."

No, he capitalized on arrogance, like every other manipulative tyrant. Jesus Christ gave mankind the cure to arrogance thousands of years ago. But does anyone listen to Jesus Christ? That would be obeying the greatest wisdom. All I see among men are fools and slaves. So no, we have not listened to Jesus Christ. Whoever listens to Jesus Christ is wise and free.

I will praise God on the sand. I will praise God in the cavern. I will praise God in the backroom. I will praise God in the bathroom. I will praise God on the seas. I will praise God in the air. I will praise God when it is acceptable among men. I will praise God when it is disruptive among men. I will praise God with tolerance. I will praise God with violence. I will praise God with cooperation. I will praise God with rebellion. I will praise God when I listen. I will praise God when I do not listen. I will praise God when I speak. I will praise God when I do not speak. I will praise God with temporary material wealth. I will praise God with eternal spiritual wealth. I will praise God with joy. I will praise God with rage. I will praise God with the manifesto. I will praise God with underhanded tactics. I will praise God with all reason and logic and wisdom and properness. I will praise God in church. I will praise God in every season. I will praise God in court. I will praise God in jail. I will praise God to my parents. I will praise God to my siblings. I will praise God to my employer.

I will praise God with my blood. I will praise God with my existence. I will praise God. And you cannot stop me. Come and take it. I dare you. Come. And take it. God is The Author of Freedom. You have the right to praise Jesus Christ. God will not be hindered. God will not be stopped. Nobody can remove me from God's hand. I will have in mind the interests of God, not man. I will praise God whether I live or die. I will praise God whether you live or die. I will praise God with or without your awareness or consent. I will praise God whether you like it or hate it. I will praise God whether it is rational or nonsensical. I will praise God by God of God through God with God to God for God. All praise to Jesus Christ, who is Lord of Heaven's Armies, and to our Heavenly Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, who is within him. Let all mortal flesh remain silent and listen to Jesus Christ alone. God said, "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well pleased. Listen to HIM!" Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life. If you want to enter life, obey these commandments: Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as if they were you. Obey these and you will live. God is of the living, not of the dead, and God holds in his hand your life and all your paths. God said, "I give life, and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." God said, "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and neglected my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." Bring your entire heart and your inmost thoughts to God in prayer, and then he will show you mercy. But who among you fears God and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God. I will trust Jesus, whose name means "God Saves", and I will rely upon my God. What is this mortal grass before me that knows nothing? The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. God alone is good, and God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father. God loves Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ loves The Father and obeys everything The Father commands of him. Whoever hates Jesus Christ hates God who sent Jesus Christ. Therefore, listen to Jesus Christ. He is the only way to life, liberty, and happiness. There is none other. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. There is only One. Beginning and End. Creator of All. First and Last. God of Life. Absolute Truth. Source of Purity. Definer of Good. Greater than All. Wonderful Counselor. Almighty Father. Merciful Judge. Hope of Nations. Trustworthy Shepherd. Author of Freedom. Love of my Life. Righteous God. Yahweh of Existence. Spiritual Teacher. Love Beyond Measure. Always with Me. Patient and Guiding. Hallowed and Holy.

Hope Everlasting. Good God. Light of the World. Listening and Holding. Faithful Forever. Desiring to Shield. Lamb for All. Unchanging. In Whose Hand I Remain. Savior from Death. In Control. Whose Power is made Perfect in Weakness. Whose Mercy is Sufficient for Me. Understanding. Shield, Shepherd, Guide, Rock. Safe haven for my heart, mind, soul and will. Lord God Almighty. No words to describe the love of my life. He is grander than the Earth, More wondrous than all the contents of the Universe, More beautiful than a shining rainbow, More intimate than a best friend or lover. He is stronger than the planets, Brighter than all the stars combined. Wiser than all the oldest minds, Steadier than the laws of nature. More good than all morality, Kinder than the holiest saint. More patient than the test of time, More just than all the schools of men. His compassion is beyond defining, All people yearn to see his Hand. Those who hear rejoice to know him, His very word defines Existence. He separates the living from the dead, All things are possible with him. All creatures tremble at his voice, He cures and cleans and protects the needy. The suffering of men he causes to cease, He is even merciful to the wicked. A day of judgment he has in mind, When his enemies will be punished forever. -- Regarding racism, I think: "God created me this way. Who are you to tell God that he should have given me a different lineage?" "You judge by human standards [to gain honor for yourselves], I cast judgment on no one; but if I do judge, my judgments are correct, because I do not [speak on my own/stand by myself] [to gain honor for myself] but I stand with my Father who sent me." -- USA, 2016-2020 Democrats: *destroying the world* Americans: *vote* President: *blames democrats* Americans: *wait for President to do something* President: *waits for Americans to do something* Repeat. Repeat. No more America. Democrats: *blame President* President: *blames Democrats* Americans: *blame President and Democrats* Democrats: *dead* President: *dead* Americans: *dead* God: *points to Jesus* Survivors: *ignore God* Repeat. -- I rejoice not because I am happy but because I was commanded to rejoice. -- Gestalt: "Chaz" in USA in Human History. "Chaz": *riots, rebels, wants their own laws* USA: *riots, rebels, wants their own laws* Human History: *riots, rebels, wants their own laws* Keep broadcasting how stupid Chaz is. Keep broadcasting how the democrats are hypocrites. Man perishes for rioting and rebelling against God's Laws. Keep broadcasting "Jersey Strong", "Smyrna Strong", ad nauseum arrogant patriotism. Psalm 82:6-7. Read it and weep. I see foolish people claiming they want to live by their own laws, yet they shove away God's Law that gives life. Oh the folly, oh the evil, it pains me so *dramatic arm on uplifted forehead*. Dumbasses. All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. Now die. Enjoy the consequences of your words and actions, be immersed in guilt and self-loathing! Burn, you who laughed at the destruction of your fellow man! Burn! -- I speak to people who say much but know nothing. And they do not listen. I am among people who do much yet accomplish nothing. And they do not care. Should I speak? Should I be among these? Shall I continue? -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5eeb4c74c7a607002f1aa0c2 Here is psychological manipulation in a nutshell: If I say the phrase, "I prefer freedom from God," which interpretation comes first to mind, that I prefer freedom being away from God, or that I prefer freedom given by God to me? Thus the inclination of the heart, and the litmus test for whether a person is a slave or free. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5ed9b8452b2f240024f48316 "You are a Hungarian Jew, and you escaped the Holocaust by posing as a Christian." Deceit is an evil identified by Jesus Christ. Soros is guilty. Soros claimed to be a Jew, but Yahweh commanded, "You shall not give false testimony." Soros is guilty. God works with Faith and Truth and uses Reason and Logic and real Peace to counter fear. Soros claimed to be a victim of the Holocaust because Soros is pretending to be afraid in order to win a favorable public perception. Soros is guilty. Soros is a devil. Soros deserves to die. But do you really know The Lamb of God? -- Trust in God during good times and evil times. -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5eed4ecac7a607002f1cfa7b It's all about fear and control, and lack of faith in God. Don't say "no" because that will not work. Say, "Do you believe in God?" If they say "no" to that question, then say "then I say 'no' to you too". Simple. Effective. Cutting. Easy. If they say "yes" to that question, then say "then were is your faith?" Simple. Effective. Cutting. Easy. If after they say "no" and you reply "then I say 'no' to you too" they say "but it's required by law", then say "God's law is justice". When they continue, say "mhm" to whatever because it's only going to be bullshit at that point and you have already enlisted God to fight for you; they won't stand a chance. -- Let's talk politics. "Enter through the narrow gate. Because wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But narrow is the road and small is the gate that leads to life, and only a few find it." -- Recognition of weakness comes from being tested. Hence what Jesus did at Gethsemane. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. [Sit] here and keep watch [while I go over here and pray]." (Mark 14:34). How can you truly acknowledge your own weakness without experiencing pain, stress, pressure, and your own morbidity? -- This is my question: If I say the greatest wisdom, who will actually listen and learn? This is the answer to my question: Those who have humbled themselves like little children. -- Some reasons why you should not wear a face mask: 1. PRACTICALITY. It does not stop virus-sized particles, which would just as easily enter through the eyes. You would need an electron microscope just to see virus particles. Wearing a mask is like installing a chain-link fence in an effort to keep mosquitos off your property. 2. LEGALITY. As a governor mandate, it violates US Constitution Bill of Rights Article 14 Section 1 Sentence 2 Phrases 1 and 2: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; [...]" 3. PRINCIPALITY. It is based upon a pandemic narrative hoax; it would be smarter to admit that you have been deceived by the Chinese-owned news media rather than perpetuate their economic and psychological warfare lie by means of your complicity. Oh, and by the way, the governors mandating that the public wear face masks are of the same Democrat political party whose members historically were slave owners requiring slaves to wear face masks as a show of social domination. 4. RELIGION. If you believe in God, then you know it is smarter to have faith in God than in fear, which God warned against many times. Jesus Christ told his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Where is your faith?" Jesus Christ also did not wash his hands before eating (Luke 11:38) and yet healed those who doctors could not (Luke 8:43; and Luke was a doctor), and said, "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but afterwards can do nothing further. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the soul and the body into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." In other words: fear God, not man. If you do not believe in God, then you still have not understood that God's Law is real Justice. 5. MEDICINE. Breathing in your own air recirculates carbon dioxide and can cause dizziness, hypoxia, and asphyxiation. In the medical practice, face masks are used by surgeons in acute situations to prevent their spit from entering open wounds during surgery. The governor is not your physician, who would know such things and would understand to not misuse face masks. 6. PATHOLOGY. Viruses are as contagious as dry skin or acne. A virus is simply RNA resulting from cell damage, not a living organism like bacteria. Staying healthy avoids viruses like keeping your skin moisturized avoids dry skin. 7. IMMUNOLOGY. The immune system needs bacteria and viruses in order to stay healthy. Without an abundance of healthy bacteria and viruses, your immune system would be weaker and more susceptible to opportunistic infection, which is how people become ill and die from disease. The immune system thrives with human contact and touching one's own face and being outside. Sunlight is also necessary on your skin in order to produce Vitamin D which is necessary even for bone structure health. Also, sunlight destroys virus RNA particles almost instantly anyway, and humidity inhibits the spread of viruses, which is why the presence of viruses in the body decreases dramatically in warmer months. 8. SOCIOLOGY. The social hierarchy is a lie enforced by slaves of arrogance. They seek to exercise authority and control over others and exploit the general public's superstitions and misunderstandings by promoting false narratives in order to dominate the public psyche using fear. Anyone who does not comply is deemed worthy of exile or imprisonment, such as being told to stay locked in their homes, and being prohibited from socializing or entering public places. As a governor mandate, the dictate of wearing a face mask is an act of unjust tyrannical dictatorship in an otherwise allegedly free society, and that dictatorial decree has one purpose only: to exploit and dominate the minds and hearts of the public using lies and fear. 9. PSYCHOLOGY. People communicate in more ways than mere words; wearing a face mask and erecting other physical barriers only serves to alienate and divide by stifling the ability to communicate. Mandating that the public all wear face masks is a censorship mandate. What happens if a deaf person, or people in noisy environments, need to read lips in order to see what is being said? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpa1hiYadxE https://uni.galaxyverge.com/video/home_office.mp4 "The [UK] Home Office Admits They Have Not Counted Illegals Entering For 15 Years" In case you didn't know the government lies about statistics. -- Jeremiah 2:19. -- An Offer to Destroy the Enemy You want to cut them to shreds? Do what Jesus said. "If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first." And they love praise from men. So tell everyone that Google and the Democrats hate Jesus. Spread that like wildfire -- say it at the start and end of every show: "And remember, Google and the Democrats hate Jesus." Push that fact constantly, and that will completely destroy them within weeks. Bank on it. "Democrats hate Jesus" fits on a bumper sticker. Stop playing patty cake with your name-calling and political banter, it's time for the big guns. It's time to completely destroy the enemy. Faith will set us free. You want me to do this for you? Do you need my help to destroy them? I mean you might laugh at what I just said, so I hope you're taking this question seriously, because I have the means to do so, I'm simply giving you the courtesy of more time and some input like "no, we've got this, you don't have to completely ruin everyone and everything, that's not necessary." Let me know. I just wonder if you guys at InfoWars only want your bows and arrows in this fight, or if you're willing to enlist the aid of "natural disasters" and high-yield bombs... metaphorically. I am talking about spiritual weapons that rip the soul to shreds. I wonder how seriously you take yourselves and your messages. Are you guys joking, poking fun about the "new world order"? Do you just want to make this last as long as possible, or do you want to grab it by the jugular and break its neck? Let me know. Just saying, if you want me to really get on board with going against these "enemies of America", you had better be sure this thing is real, because I won't stop until they are all dead and completely destroyed... in ways I won't even mention, in ways you probably couldn't devise yourselves, ways that would make you go pale. Let me know if you want the real big guns. Just know that if you say yes, I won't stop, you won't believe what results, and I won't make this offer again. If you say you want my help, I am telling you now, they will all die. I can kill them with my words; you probably have never seen or experienced that in your lives, but let's just say I have special privileges and capabilities with God... which you know nothing about, and when you realize it, you will be afraid of me and be glad I have not turned against you. The Japanese laughed at the thought of one bomb destroying a city... I am telling you that I have the means, so don't laugh at me. We've seen how far mortal words have taken us. I have weapons you would be too afraid to wield. Say the word and I will destroy. No one except God and Jesus Christ can counter what I have to wield. Guns may kill the body, but I am talking about complete destruction. Just to be clear, they will die from my words unless they turn to Jesus. If you want my help, eh... I mean, if you want me to kill these people in "untraceable" ways, just give me the list of names of people or other "things" that you genuinely feel should be completely destroyed and die. I will offer you what you might call "bombshell" things in return, or I might just disassociate so that you are not tied to the results. It all depends how willing you are to get deadly serious... many times more than I have seen from your team currently. (You guys work at a 2, sometimes a 3, I am talking about cranking this up to an 8 and 9 in ways you haven't even touched -- 10 is MAD (mutually-assured destruction) all-out vicious attack to the death.) I will give you until the end of the month to get back to me; otherwise, I will presume that you feel you have matters well in hand or feel things are otherwise copacetic... or that you prefer other subtler means rather than complete destruction of those who have made themselves our enemies without reason. I look forward to hearing from you; if you give me a go, and a list of names, I might ask for more information... although that might not even be necessary. Have a nice day. Oh, and I strongly advise you to not mention this to anyone, because of human liability concerns. They won't understand anyway. (I seriously hope you are not taking this as a joke, because I already said this is the only time I will make this offer to you. Take it or leave it. ...You ain't seen nothin' yet, and yes, I know you don't really fully grasp my offer. Just let me know if you really want them dead or repentant.) ...This offer obviously does not negate Deuteronomy 32:34-35 or any other point Jesus and God has made regarding judgment. Sorry to make this long, but to be clear, again: I will DESTROY them. Let me know. This offer ends July 1st. - I see my function as a watchman on the wall. I must speak about what I see honestly and without reservation about my physical safety. So when I use humor it is not because I don't take this seriously. I want to open people's minds and I need to relieve pressure on myself. If you're talking about prayer warfare which I think you are, absolutely yes If you're talking about ANY physical attack, absolutely NO We don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against the powers/principalities I'm uncomfortable with curses against the lives of humans who may be involved in sin. Removing them from the power to hurt? Yes Delivering them to Satan so that they may repent before it's too late? Yes It grieves me that so many churches willingly accepted that they are "non-essential" or were too afraid of the virus to meet. I understand that some of them believed govt and believed they were saving lives. But others, as John MacArthur's own church statement made clear (and I read it on air w/o saying which church it came from because I don't want to accuse brethren), knew the orders were useless & hypocritical but just bowed to the arbitrary power of government. So if you are going to pray, pray FOR Christians to be bold in their faith and conviction and lead in this time of darkness & deception. Pray that they would stand on God's word and not cave to the social propaganda that is destroying our families and will be used to persecute us. Pray for Trump's salvation and repentance from serving his own interests against those of the country. Pray that he would learn & use his power as President under the Constitution for good and limit himself to its restrictions. Pray that plans to poison people with a rushed vaccine will be thwarted, exposed as the crime it is. Pray that the elites will not be able to destroy the middle class as they are well on their way to doing Pray for ME to be bold. That God would give me wisdom and grace to represent Him, speak in ways that honor Him. Pray AGAINST the powers & principalities behind human leaders, pushing death, destruction, depopulation, depression & starvation Pray AGAINST the Supreme Court powers. That God would raise up men of courage to put it back into its limited role; that those who are abusing its power, Roberts, Ginsberg, Sotomeyer, Gorsuch, Breyer, Kagan would be discredited, marginalized, or removed This decision will be used to persecute Christians and advance evil https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/supreme-court-votes-6-3-to-redefine-sex-write-transgenderism-into-1964-law In Christ, David - Jesus Christ promised action through prayer. (Examples: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. Whatever you ask for in my name, believe that you have received it; it will be yours. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.") Prayer is more powerful than any physical thing. Why use a gun or a knife when I can simply ask God for help? You see, I have authority which others do not perceive. God hides me and protects me even when I am physically attacked. My offer was a test, and a lesson. Faith is a double-edged foundation. "I will come and fight against them with the sword of my mouth." A real believer who really understands is given this lesson at an early age: real faith in God is acceptance of God's decisions in times of good or times of evil. I know that my life will be demanded from me anyway, at a time God controls, because he holds in his hand my life and all my paths, and said "I give life and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." God exalts the humble and the weak who belong to him by giving them power. "You are those who have stood by me in my trials. I and confer upon you a kingdom just like my Father has conferred upon me, so that you will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." He has exalted me, and this offer to you was a test and a lesson. What the world faces now is a test of faith in Jesus Christ and God. Patriotism has its place, and this nation has its place. But even the entire world will pass away at an undisclosed time, but the lessons between God and his creatures continue. "God disciplines those he loves as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." I appreciate your time spent providing a revealing, detailed reply. How I pray is this, according to how a family friend told me he prays: "Jesus, please save." As Jesus explained, Our Heavenly Father already fully knows the rest of it anyway, and beyond what he shows us we should know. And this is the kicker: even though I fail every test, I have Jesus Christ as my Righteousness and Salvation. So any credit would go to him anyway, and he helps me with any problems I have (as identified by him). I could be thinking something, and I go and open the Bible to any page at the time, and right there in front of me is his answer. Every time. But the question is, would anyone understand this if I said so, and quoted, "And I assure you that I am always with you, even to the very end of The Age," and "Apart from me, you can do nothing," and said that Immanuel means "God With Us"? So I would say what people really need to do is be patient with God and do not put him to the test, have faith in God for times of good and times of evil, pray and understand The Lord's Prayer which honors Jesus Christ and God, and continue this journey with Immanuel through thick and thin. God wants to be with us through every situation he allows to exist. "Do not fear, because I am with you." Therefore, it is a delight to have faith in Jesus Christ at all times in all places in all situations. Maybe those who are blessed can see how God allows evil as part of his good work, and realize that God alone is good, and God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. His word is life and he does not abandon; "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just like my Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's care. The Father and I are one." What is the role of pain and death then? All these things are taught to the blessed; "Blessed are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it," and "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see, and the ears that hear what you hear, because I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. Listen, then, to what the parable of the sower means..." Evildoers use arrogance to exalt themselves by pain and death, but it is God who really controls these things. Therefore, I pray for my enemies, that they would repent of evil: "Jesus, please save." And I pray for others to listen to Jesus Christ and gain discernment given by God: "Jesus, please save." Because the greatest wisdom is to listen to Jesus Christ, and he who submits to The Lord Righteousness finds real Peace and real Power, even though they are in Weakness. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." But in this age of increasing arrogance (an evil from within a man's heart that makes him 'unclean'), who is willing to admit, "I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me"? So yes, I have power, but it was given that I might learn from God, who alone is good, through The Master, his son. My will is irrelevant to what results except insomuch as The Master chooses to address it. But prayer is not the only means to alter Existence. There is also the sword of the word, upon which prayer is based. And the sword brings fire -- "everyone will be salted with fire". The sword swings for the fire, led by the fire. But the sword is double-edged, which is why one is trained to humility before being entrusted with it; "Put your sword back in its place, because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword." That is the act of "mutually-assured destruction", which is actually more like a suicide bombing of truth in a den of liars. I already mentioned the armaments -- the shield and the dagger that defends against, and cuts through, evil. But who among you can wield them? Shield: The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation Dagger: God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy You see, they bring silence; "whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth, in whom there is nothing false." Real Justice was already led to victory by Jesus Christ. But liars will be non-believers, even on The Day of Judgment. Should I ask God if they should die? What are their lives to me? - Prediction: News Media Fakes Election Result in Lock-Step Mr. Knight: You said the enemy was able to push two lies to shift public perception. What if they simply say that some Democrat won the election? Who would know any better? You don't even need an election, you only need the current cabal of Chi-Com news media pushing yet another lie in lock-step. Who would know? You see, God had me stay away from the news media, because he protects me from liars. Before a false statement is made, he covers my ears and turns me away from it to focus on him instead. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. No one can remove me from his care. These people have no idea who they're fighting against. It's about as exciting as watching an executioner raise his axe up. It's sad and gross, but inevitable... and those who don't see it coming will be plunged into chaos. "There is no peace," says my Lord, "for the wicked." Psalm 82 was a command; those who know and do not obey are committing sin against God and against man. But I look around and nobody seems to know and/or care. What planet was I born into to be surrounded by such useless and worthless dumb fornicators? Today I wrote: This is my question: If I say the greatest wisdom, who will actually listen and learn? This is the answer to my question: Those who have humbled themselves like little children. But the devils cling to the children like piranhas so that they might rip them to shreds. Show me one person who knows what God is doing here, what God is thinking, what God is saying. As soon as I open my mouth, the enemy collapses like dominoes before me. No wonder people have told me "shut up" and "leave me alone" my whole life! But I wonder if my words are too powerful that they are considered too barbaric for consideration. ...Sorry to waste your time with that digression. Thanks for your correspondence and your work. Best wishes and good luck to your Info Wars team. I'd be happy to help out but I live in Delaware in my mom's basement as an unemployed schmuck. Not that anyone cares. Be well. - Destroying the Enemy -- Part 1: Some Reasons to Not Wear a Face Mask Dr. Knight: I'm just getting warmed up. Feel free to share or re-publish anything I send you. [aforementioned] - Phase 2 Phase 1: 2016 - Elect Donald Trump as US President. - Continue to expose institutional evils. - Gain public awareness to Info Wars. Phase 1 is completed. Now is the shift towards Phase 2. I already told President Trump that if Roger Stone sees jail time for 24 hours or more, neither I nor anyone in their right mind would vote for President Trump in November. This remains unchanged, and I have heard others echo this general idea. I am writing this e-mail to you so that you might understand the necessary Phase 2. There are four paths on Phase 2. Phase 2: 2020 Path 1: Global Enslavement - Destruction of America and global enslavement. (You know generally how this goes, so I won't continue to describe it.) - Info Wars is destroyed. Path 2: God Saves - Americans who believe in God pray more earnestly for God to save the people of this nation. - God, who has already led justice to victory, saves. ("Jesus" means "God saves".) - Info Wars can rest. Path 3: Alex Jones for President - July 4th, Alex Jones announces that he is running for US President, and that he is the first candidate in a new Info Wars political party. - Volunteers are welcomed to help with the Info Wars campaign. - Republicans and Democrats and others who are disgusted with the political status quo and institutional corruption vote Info Wars. - Info Wars grows. Path 4: Status Quo - President Trump pardons Roger Stone, but the Deep State doesn't care. - President Trump technically wins the election (Biden is already dead from a stroke / brain aneurysm), but all the Chinese-owned news media tells everyone that Hillary Clinton won, and the public buys into their lies yet again, regardless of counts and votes. - (Regardless of the previous two points): - America becomes more divided. - Hot wars in the suburbs and cities. - Info Wars gets shut down. Notice that paths 2 and 3, and paths 1 and 4, can happen simultaneously. - Killing People Mr. Knight: The Earth is filled with evil. The only way to stop evildoers is a combination of prayer and killing. Evil people are incapable of repentance. The sooner they die, the better. God uses evil to test God's children. And the only end to an evil person is death. "Then The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. His angels will throw those into the fiery furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like The Sun in the kingdom of their Father." -- The Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of Heaven's Armies The Earth is a laughingstock of slaves -- fools and the arrogant. It is not enough to wait for the older generations to die off so that I might have some resemblance of freedom and peace. Every time I try to focus on God, I get distracted. Blind guides are everywhere. No one has listened, is listening, or will listen. If they were to listen, they would not understand because they are enslaved to evil. Without the path of hope, patience is tolerance. The people deserve to die. Evil is so widespread, I would never be able to remove them all from this footstool. The foolish police, too, would interfere -- useful idiots to the evil institutions. So I sit back and laugh at the destruction around me. Surely it is not funny, but I laugh because all warnings were ignored. This will be my last correspondence to you. Good luck to your team, but you are all on the path of failure. I could tell you the actual future, but it comes down to the fact that God doesn't want me to do that. No, I have shared enough in my short lifetime, and nobody will ever listen to me anyway. Exhausting communication, exhausting presence, entertaining as this all has been observing myself ripping people to shreds from my position of meekness, all I have left to say to everyone is this: I hope you enjoy kneeling before Jesus Christ. -- Grandpa: Then there was a movement called "I can't breathe". Timmy: That was about everyone needing to wear masks, right? Grandpa: Not exactly. Timmy: I'm confused. -- -- "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." The work of God is to believe in Jesus Christ. The work that God requires of humans is to believe in Jesus Christ. The work that God requires of humans is to listen to, and accept, Jesus Christ. The work that God requires of humans is to listen to, and accept, God's Salvation, The Anointed One. The work that God requires of humans is to listen to, and accept, ultimate safety given by God through The Lamb of God. How wonderful and reassuring! "The Arm of The Lord will be revealed to his servants, but his wrath will be shown to his foes." "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." -- "All the good things in life you get persecuted for." -- Alex Jones, June 30, 2020 (https://banned.video/watch?id=5efbba39672706002f3909a8 at 35 minutes) -- The problem is that people are slow to learn the fundamental principles of reality. Many want to know these principles, but God only reveals them to little children so that the little children can grow into wisdom. -- Dear Mr. President: American troops will return one way or another. Do it now. Stop pretending that you are not the US President. Is this play time? If I were the US President, I would act like I were the US President and exercise the capacity of the US President office. Who do you serve by keeping troops overseas indefinitely? Is our military changing flags; are they becoming citizens of Afghanistan, for example? Have the military personnel renounced their American citizenship or allegiance? Please stop acting like a do-nothing pushover and do what you were elected to do -- just in time for re-election. What you demonstrate here is that you only care about being elected, then sit on your hands and play along with the ruin of America for the entire term of office. Stop pissing around and pretending you are not the commander in chief. If you persist in your apathetic practice, you leave actual action to those who will realize that a vote for you is a vote to continue down the playground slide into war. Thank you for your consideration. -- Me: "You don't need help from above." -- Cuomo OK. Shall I plug you with a bullet, Mr. Cum-o? Maybe you won't need help from above when you're begging for your life like a pussy. Me: Woah woah woah there, [me]. You can't touch a hair on their heads. They can steal, kill and destroy all they want and laugh up a storm as they butcher and rape and drink the sweet blood of you and your children. But "god" forbid a single hair fall from their own heads. God, I ask, how long will YOU defend the unjust and show favoritism to the wicked? How long? I see all these people who commit atrocities and have all the blood of the righteous throughout history on their hands, the guilt stockpiling upon the heads of these sons of Hell, and yet you still say these things to me? What is the purpose to living among deaf and dumb people every day ad nauseum like a slave camp? Why do YOU want these people to keep living and using up your time and patience and power, even as they insult your majesty? Will you have them repent of evil, or are you just waiting for us to kill them straight away -- do you want this kill or be killed situation? The people know nothing; it's only me and you; I find no other wise man, no one who even listens to you at all. These people are all liars and slaves; you have immersed me in a world enslaved to arrogance. They all speak to gain honor for themselves. I am the only one who knows you. Will you be still and silent for so long? The world becomes immersed in evil, and not one person who claims to know God actually hears what God says. So I quote from God's Son: "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." It is time to kill. But the people don't want to lift a finger -- they will die and be held accountable for their complicity and thus alliance with evil. The people know nothing. They are all so stupid, foolish. Oh they speak -- they speak like fools. On and on they ramble, it has all become clanging noise to me. Not one person listens to Jesus Christ. Not one person belongs to God... shall I acquiesce to their evil folly? The people are stupid. InfoWars is losing. -- If God says to a man, "I want you to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God, or you will surely die," that is an act of God. If a man says to a governor, "I want you to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God, or you will surely die," that is an act of terrorism. So devils call God a terrorist, and the wicked refuse to repent. But God has ways of making people repent of evil, because God knows and fully understands and is in control. But Americans must become terrorists; Americans must pray and say to the governors where we live, "I want you to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God, or you will surely die." -- Satan means accuser; arrogance is an evil from within the heart which deceives its victim into exalting themselves over others. Deception means lying, and Satan is "the father of lies" as Jesus Christ explained. Jesus Christ gives the little children the cure to arrogance, and so they are not deceived; Jesus means God Saves, and "save" means to keep safe. Ergo, "I am The Lord your God, there is no other Savior," means there is only safety in Jesus Christ. But the wicked are disastrous, hence, "There is no peace for the wicked." But morons don't listen to Jesus Christ. Morons are slaves of evil -- slaves to arrogance. "The people know nothing, they understand nothing." (Psalm 82) -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5efb9158672706002f37f18e All we can do is sound the alarm and keep it sounding. If a man does not want to listen, he will face the consequences of his apathy. God humbles, and God saves. -- I don't care who you have to fire or what laws you have to break, I want you to bring the troops home now. I do not want American troops to spill one more drop of blood. This world needs to heal and recover spiritually, mentally, and physically from all the war and death and bloodshed. -- States love unjust courts because it keeps the fundraiser going, continuously lining the pockets of lawyers, judges, prosecutors, defenders, governors, and all involved -- except for the defendant -- with cash. Unjust judges and courts and juries (although the jury is a stooge accomplice, the position defined as a panel of useful idiots) keep the legal system running with an endless supply of conflict, litigation, publicity, public talking points and other news media cruft, and appeals. Everyone involved, except the common man, gets rich quick. Meanwhile, those involved get to shoot their mouths off and betray and disrespect and hate each other all to make a quick buck; and legality forms the excuse to exercise and promote evil. They all ignore The Judge. Oh, but on its surface it looks like justice, because the facade and appearance and process is all those involved intend to exercise. No, a judge that does not fear God deserves to be shot, and a "government" -- yes, a so-called government, even though it is not really the actual government of God -- deserves to be removed from the face of Earth when its "leaders" -- yes, so-called leaders, even though they are stupid, foolish, childish slaves to evil -- forget that they are temporary public servants with temporary lives on God's footstool, and forget that their lives will be demanded from them and they will kneel and confess and be judged by The Judge who seeks glory for himself, and then they will either be thrown into unimaginable torment to suffer forever, or be welcomed by God into rest and delight forever. Psalm 82. Zechariah 7:9-14. Matthew 16:23. Psalm 10. -- Laws are for people whose lives those laws do not threaten. -- The word salvation means safety. To save means to keep safe. "I am The Lord your God. There is no other savior." The fear-control agenda is deceptive. Know and trust the only one who is actually Trustworthy. There is your food for the day. Eat and survive. -- Them: Medical Martial Law House to House Covid Testing Begins in Australia https://banned.video/watch?id=5f079dea672706002f4ad7cb Me: "Repent of evil and believe the good news." "I forgive you." "God is the only savior." Those are the only three responses I will need in answering my accusers. "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the good news." The one who listens to Jesus Christ is given all the answers. -- Them: Planets Align as America Faces Great Transformation https://banned.video/watch?id=5f064eae672706002f477188 Me: The planets can align together, but man still does not align himself with God. See, humans are dumber than dirt. Me: I think it was 5 to 10 years ago, someone pointed out how they were amazed at what year it was already. I responded, "Yup, it's almost 2020." They said, "Why, what happens in 2020?" I didn't answer. You see, it is as Jesus explained. -- The love from God is freedom that liberates the greatness of humanity, because glory and honor belong to God and Jesus Christ. -- Tell me when the congregation is about to protest Planned Parenthood for its goal of killing all black people. I will join and say these people care about The God Of Life. Until then, I have more use of silent reading than being among an apathetic group engulfed in guilty hypocrisy and at worst can be proven to be accessories to murder. Psalm 82 or I stay home. Let me know when the people are willing to do the right thing and defend the helpless. Until that time comes, I want no part of your godless church. Let them actually know and fear the only real and true God. Were any of you willing at all to allow me any voice to speak, I would open their eyes quickly to who God is and what God actually says he wants. But it is very apparent to me that no one cares about God and Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. They only want popularity and money. And no human can win an argument against God's sons. https://tinyurl.com/y9ffeotm They want you as their slave, and they will not stop assaulting you until you die. It is a slow war, a soft kill against you. The question now becomes: do you know who they are, and are you ready to fight back with all you have and are? A life is useless unless it defends the weak and the needy, the poor and fatherless. Psalm 82 is the judgment, and the cowardly and selfish and apathetically arrogant will surely not survive for many more days. The humble learn wisdom and prosper, but there is no peace for the wicked. Escape, wait for the adults to defend you, or fight back. The noose is tightening around the neck of the 'free world', and if you do not want to lose everything, pay attention and start planning for global depression, starvation, riots, home invasion, dictatorship and invasion. It tightens like a snake: slowly, then suddenly. Be ready or fight while you can. BLM/ANTIFA are liberal university paid agitators trained by CIA and funded by NAZI party member George Soros. US government is trying to purge itself of corruption. Americans should reject the psy-op news media and realize the globalist attack is dividing us using puppet factions of indoctrinated useful idiots brainwashed by unchallenged traitors, and thus societal institutions have lost the respect of the aware and sane, because they seek to undermine and collapse civilization to usher in their New World Order takeover. Many have died, but Western Civilization will not survive this attack until the people say no to this rape and fight back. The slave mask cult is only their first decree of domination over your body. They want you dead, and by the time that dawns on you, you will already be in their crosshairs. You should identify and overcome the enemy before the axe uses gravity against your neck. The Chinese wrote The Art of War, and the Chinese have been waging it, staged by the enemies they have funded within. Surprise, surprise, B follows A! A ball that rolls down a slide will reach the bottom unless someone stops it. Does this offend us, to understand Ps82? https://www.elitereaders.com/dead-fetuses-china/ "DEFEND THE ... WEAK AND FATHERLESS ... THE POOR AND OPPRESSED ... RESCUE THE WEAK AND NEEDY -- DELIVER THEM FROM THE HAND OF THE WICKED. [THE PEOPLE] UNDERSTAND NOTHING ... THEY DWELL IN [EVIL] -- ALL THE FOUNDATIONS OF [MY FOOTSTOOL] ARE SHAKEN. I SAID YOU ARE ALL [MY CHILDREN]. BUT YOU WILL DIE LIKE ... EVERY OTHER RULER." -- God (Psalm 82:3-7). FYI in case you actually wanted to know your maker, and not play make-believe like every other idolatrous non-believer. Are the ignorant churches ready to protest Planned Parenthood, or otherwise obey God yet? I think not. They are all faithless cowards who are headed into the second death. Matthew 15:8-9. What language do your church use when praying "The Lord's Prayer"? If it is English, why is it grammatically incorrect? Do people understand what they say and do? If this is a house of prayer for all nations, why is prayer so rare in it? Perhaps you or some other church member or representative is able to answer these fundamental organization questions. I look forward to your reply. [note that the previous paragraph contains some incorrect English grammar] You see, no one except God listens to me; I think to myself, "They will not listen to me anyway." If only they knew what I knew. If only they knew how tired I am. If only they would simply belong to Jesus Christ; if only their lives gained value in Jesus Christ. They will be silenced and discarded, because they pretend to be priests and generals and pillars of society when they are actually rot. When no one was willing to help me, Powerful God, you reached down and separated me from the attackers. I thank you for caring about my life; your care is more valuable than the care of all others combined. You decided to help me several times, to protect me and guide me. You have granted my life value. And I love your words. I should not shirk your discipline. I hope you are pleased with me. The work of God is to believe in the one you sent. -- You say you do not believe in God, but God is the only one preventing me from killing you. I am ready, willing, and able to collect if you wish to stake your life on your words to me; and I know that all I say is correct, and that all you say is incorrect. -- "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world." (John 8:26). The mouth of God created the mouths of humans; from the mouth of God comes freedom and peace for every living soul who would listen to him. -- Matthew 6:9-13 has suffered poison-in-the-well. -- Evildoers must bleed and die. But blood has already run and death has already come and forgiveness has already been administered in the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Whoever believes in him will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in him will never die. -- It is an unsettling combination to want to not speak, to have so many ignore me, and to be told so many times that I was right. I no longer have any interest in sharing my knowledge, because I will to no longer care what anyone knows. So much therefore I do with no given explanation, so idiots will be given no more fuel for their conspiratorial controversy. It is not for these to know. -- God is the God of the Living. God is the God of Life. Therefore, everyone who sins against God deserves to die; to disobey the God of Life is an act deserving death; every sin against The God of Life is deserving of death, because it is an act of death, and God will reward each person according to what that person has done. God forgives through Jesus Christ, the Life with God. Therefore, the assertion that more sin means more mercy in God's forgiveness is incorrect; every sin deserves the death penalty. Therefore, God's forgiveness is much more merciful and much greater than that assertion would attribute. Jesus Christ forgives sins, and he explained to his disciples about forgiveness. When a person sins one time, their punishment is absolute, and when they sin a hundred or a thousand times, however many times they sin, they are still held in the same absolute punishment. [Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God.] When man has the word of God in him and lives by the word of God, he accepts the word of God, thereby accepting The Word of God (Jesus Christ) and therefore accepting Life (Jesus Christ). "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life; but there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them [to me]." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." In obedience and understanding, one gains knowledge which is eternal life. The eternal life is permanent; "whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life". There are no hoops to jump through, no cult initiations to complete, no monthly payments to make, no human expectations to fulfill. It is as Jesus Christ explained. (The rest is nonsense.) -- FOR GOD PART 1 Every action is made possible by God. God gives man life and peace. God supports man. God sustains man. God makes man safe. God disciplines man. God teaches man. Power and Life are the domain of The Lord Righteousness. The Mighty One intercedes for the weak. He honors the humble with his presence; The pure gain their purity from him, The Source. He who is most merciful brings down low the aloof, self-absorbed, apathetic, indifferent. They look on and see while His Majesty shames them by exposing their guilt; The Master makes his servant act thoughtfully towards their neighbor, but those who do nothing are ashamed. And all the praise is given to Jesus Christ. Because The Lamb suffered much and was killed, forsaken by God. The Lord has given a place at his banquet to the treacherous and rebellious. Throughout all Creation, God's word remains eternal. Men will try to discover and uncover, but the greatest secret of reality has already been declared for all Creation to hear through the lips of my God. Let us all explain to each other how wonderful God has been to us, how unique and special God acts; his son is the Hero who rescues and keeps safe. When no one would defend me, every time my attackers cornered me like easy prey, I looked up and saw right there, and I waited to see what my God would do. Would he demand my life from me? Would he abandon me as unworthy refuse? Demons and devils have attacked me time and again. And every time, The Trustworthy One protected me. On The Last Day, all people will see the account of my life and be witness to wonder because of how genius my Counselor has testified about and from The All-Knowing; because it is as Jesus Christ explained. He who is Most Merciful is Pure Strength. He is the only one who is good. He has called his admirers gods. The Lord is the arm and the muscle, the bone and the grasp, the hilt and the blade of the fearsome sword. He gives life and motion; and he reveals and commands. There is no action apart from God's will; his care is absolute. To trust God and Jesus Christ is the most basic common sense. And God controls comprehension. His creatures, even man made in his image, do not deserve the honor of being associated with Jesus The Lamb of God. God is most patient and sees all, yet wants to focus on that of man which is acceptable; because God is kind and gentle. The Lord is humble, and humbles. CREDO FOR GOD PART 2 Faith is the call from God. The voice rings out in the heart and mind of the weak. His Grace is the Power; pure power in weakness ~ the power is absolute and infinite, too vast for comprehension, yet revealed by the wielder. He points the tip of the sword and lifts me up to see from his perspective. Immediately I am humbled; how busy is God's son with managing Existence! What if all were like me? How would he ever have the time? A lawyer, a doctor, a professor, an individual of self-importance, these mere bits of dust charge a man's own life savings for a few minuts of useless consideration. But the Lord Almighty gives me indefinite time completely for free, and how do I convey what God has given and shown to me? In a moment, so slim, he shows me the Universe so colorful even at a distance before him. He is so busy! Yet he waits for me to learn, even to believe; the imposition and burden is his. People say I am so patient, but I am not so patient as my Master. He is The Master and I am an insignificant little pupil; a wanna-be if ever there were one! My honor is that I have honored him in my being. But this -- me, I , myself -- I am useless, a useless person. This is why man chuckles at me ~ he who does not see God will not see God in me. But God sees and is my judge. CREDO FOR GOD PART 3 Look, God. What do you see? Do you see crying people? Do you see cruelty and wickedness? Tell me, he who would have me call him father, this mind you gave me, shall I be given power? Deeper and sadder; Jesus, my life is a joke. Everything and everyone disgusts me. Let me think of you and be happy. Secretly so no one else will ever know; Only you and me. You make for us an escape, a lifeboat in your hand among the unvisited realm. You know privacy and secrecy, and you are kind to me. To your beloved you show unfailing faithfulness. And your enemies will see your unceasing fire. Your word is my life; it fuels me and sustains me beyond mere dust. You are my love. Give me nothing else. CREDO FOR GOD PART 4 Look at these people reading yet not comprehending. Understanding? ACCESS DENIED. You prevent them. Here I go about trying to share descriptions of your glory and majesty, but I see they will not understand; I guess I won't be able to tell anyone about you. Well, sure I could use the words, but they won't listen to me anyway. Jesus, you know, yes, all is well. Because you know, I can rest. CREDO -- Me: Personally, I would ignore the politicians. Their deceit will be destroyed along with them, the liars, by God. If anyone assaults a child, beat the assailant yourself. If anyone rapes a person, kill the rapist yourself. If anyone murders your neighbor, kill the murderer and burn down their home with their family still inside. And vengeance still only belongs to God. God will repay, in due time. Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: It is not evil to end evil; it is not evil to defend the helpless against the wicked. Because the opposite of evil is good, and to obey God is good, because God alone is good. But the people have neglected God's commands and society has grown complacent with hearing peaceful liars proclaim lies. But whoever actually knows God listens to Psalm 82 and every other time God has spoken. I see no one on Earth who actually knows God, no one who is actually willing to listen to God, and no one who is actually willing to do what is good. So we dwell among constant evil. Them: [animations of shooting machine guns] Me: Let's talk about this. I am one who knows much. Convincing a person is only possible if the person is willing to learn. If convincing someone were the goal, I would speak. Now I have tried speaking, and I have found that only those willing to know are willing to listen. Them: [something along the lines of, "I wasn't talking about this, send me a message if you want to tell me something that interests me specifically."] Me: I'm forming a pre-emptive dialogue of reason before I go out and start shooting people. It would be a good idea to follow along. Many years I have spoken and had none listen. In fact, I have always had to take care with my words around people, and only say as much as I knew they were willing to hear -- because I knew they did not want to listen. I always knew what they were thinking. As I said, I am one who knows much. I always looked to Jesus to consult him before speaking. I rode the dialogue like a wave. The people always wanted timid waters. They were only willing to hear that which they could contextualize, and that which did not upset their perceptions of reality. So they refused to be refuted, but delighted to be asserted correct in their ways. Even though they knew nothing. How can one be correct if one does not know anything? Much less asserts anything correct? No, they wanted to be enslaved to their usurping arrogance. Lest they submit to truth -- and feel compelled to think and assess honestly... the path of humbleness was a path of disdain. Oh but I presented myself humbly to them, every time. Yes, God had me go among them as a student -- so as to allow themselves to feel like they were my teacher, my social superior. The nature of a savage is revealed by a meek god among them. The god knows they do not know. The god is a god because of what God has given the god. The god knows these creatures do not know the Creator. And the god is taught by God. Whether these godless creatures deserve this or that, deserve to die or live, or deserve understanding, or anything at all, is a matter already known to the god. And he who listens to God is honored by God to have the words of God. But the godless think the words of God are dishonorable, worth scoffing at -- a "patriarchy" worth destroying. The people know nothing, and all the foundations of the earth are shaken. They were called gods, but they will die like mere mortals, fall like every other ruler. Their ignorance will be converted into abject terror. As for me, I am left to consider reason silently, without communicating in any way another being could witness. So they will say I did not think, but it is they who have not been thinking. Yes, they will say I acted in evil, but they are the ones who promote evil constantly. You do not know the depths of their disgrace. [Forwarded from Galaxy Verge] They defend child sacrifice to the demon Moloch, yet claim to have the moral high ground. Psalm 82 or kill yourselves -- all of you. -- "It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip. Their day of disaster draws near." "You fool! This very night, your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have stored up for yourself?" "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and afterwards can do nothing more. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both the soul and the body in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." The Creator is very creative about ways in which he can demand a person's life from them. And after that, he can actually destroy both the soul and the body in Hell. To be clear here, I restate, Hell is not merely a place of torment, but a place where the soul and the body is destroyed by God. I find it humorous how the Israelites were so prone to wondering where God is and why God was not leading them, or why they kept seeing danger where God's chosen prophet Moses was leading them, seemingly to die in the desert, and yet God repeatedly revealed his actions to the Egyptian soldiers led by Pharaoh, who finally retreated back to the shore, and God waited until the last moment before demanding their lives from them in an instant. God definitely has ways of scaring people. It is so sad. These people have no idea what is coming to them. -- Daniel 3,6 The Lord takes care of his own. God also quickly turns suffering and death onto those who harm his own. Notice that the soldiers who tied and threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the furnace were immediately killed by the heat of the furnace, and Nebuchadnezzar subsequently lost his kingdom and was placed into the wilderness. Notice that those who falsely accused Daniel, so that the king would have Daniel thrown into the den of lions, were themselves thrown into the den of lions and immediately killed. "It is mine to avenge. I will repay." (Deuteronomy 32:34+). -- Hell exists because evildoers do not listen to Jesus Christ. The social hierarchy is a lie; stubbornness might seem like faithfulness, but it is as written in 2nd Timothy: the appearance of godliness, but [lacking the] power [through God]. Also, those who call minor details intelligence do not know God who knows all these things and controls comprehension. Lacking knowledge because of their arrogance, they have promoted madness, so that they might deceive and distract... so that they might steal, kill, and destroy those God has sanctified. "In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will thing he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known [God or Jesus Christ]." Lacking knowledge of The God of The Living, they make excuses to destroy the living. It is because they hate God and Jesus Christ; they are no different from their forefathers who persecuted the prophets and God's son. But God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. To obey God is to honor God -- and to love yourself, because there is no greater "self-preservation" than to listen to, and believe, Jesus, whose name means God Saves / God Keeps Safe. When you see people arguing out of stubbornness, it is because they are afraid to be honest; they may even think that they believe, but they have not been blessed. Leave them; move on. I have experienced attempting to explain to those to whom God has not explained. I have attempted to guide those God has not guided. I have attempted to describe to those to whom God has not described. They are animals; if their fear instinct is triggered -- truth makes them afraid -- they will act like dogs in their fake social hierarchy, acting, as if God's words were some kind of game to fuel their backsliding into arrogance: they will either try to dominate you, or they will attack you and expect you to submit. In a church setting, this would be as Jesus warned about them: outwardly appearing like sheep, but inwardly being ferocious wolves. In fact, they will attempt to gain glory for themselves among men by acting as blind guides. This is idolatry. "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me futilely; their teachings are merely rules taught by men." The etymology of the word futile is revealing here: as one pours water into a leaky bucket, so God's words pour into them, and as understanding escapes them, so they are unfit to retain and hold God's words. It is not as if The Holy Spirit had them dig down beyond the common water line and they climbed back up to receive the words of Jesus Christ like a refreshing sprinkle of rain as God poured clean watering words, as if God fed them and they kept asking for more because they were famished lacking righteousness and good things. Ignoring God, not knowing God or Jesus Christ, they will say, "The more evil I cause, the more people will desire God; the more they will long for one of the days of the Son of Man." Then they will promote false heroes, false prophets to destroy, and false Christs (anointed saviors) in their attempt to deceive the elect (electus means to be chosen) who God has chosen. In their conspiracy, their most fervent established deceiver will be their "anti-Christ", and they will place their most evil abomination in the most blasphemous place, because God commanded of the human heart love for God and thus evil practices hatred in the human heart towards God. Hatred leads to blasphemy (disrespectful falsehood) and mockery (arrogant condemnation). And they do many things like this, trying to become increasingly evil by committing every imaginable crime in futile rebellion against God and Jesus Christ. All they do is condemned, and all they do is rush with the herd into "a particularly nasty" (as Alex Jones said) -- actually, currently the worst -- place. These weeds have no idea about the furnace into which God will put them. They whine and think they have it bad now, they mutilate and butcher helpless children now, they raise their noses and shun with disgust God's words now... well, they will beg and plead with God's Salvation to rescue them from the place they delighted to foolishly embrace. The body has limits to pain. These people have no idea where they are going, because they dwell in darkness. Jesus Christ explained many times about light and darkness, and even gave the verdict. You see, they condemn because they do not accept the verdict stated thousands of years ago by The Judge. These people know nothing, they understand nothing, and all the foundations of God's footstool are shaken. And so they will die like every other ruler. They really do not know, nor will they listen to, the truth. They really do not know, nor will they listen to, Jesus Christ. And they are deceived by blind guides who say "choice" and "choose", thinking they can choose to listen or not. They do these things because they have not known The Father or Jesus Christ, who said, "You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit that will last," and "No one can come to me unless my Father draws them, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." It is because God's words -- everything from Jesus Christ the Mouth of God -- are individually and is as a whole pure life freely given and proclaimed throughout God's footstool, that they are corrupt dead murderers who seek to dominate and destroy Earth. Take a wild guess who controls everything. "I will not share my glory with [another/any other/anyone]." The Father has glorified The Son in himself and will glorify him again. "Aha! A flaw!" the cursed say. You won't listen to me anyway. You won't listen to Jesus Christ anyway. You won't listen to God anyway. "I never knew you. Away from me, all you evildoers!" The "weeping and gnashing of teeth" is the delicate way of describing what will happen to the evildoers who never repented away from the evil in their heart and listened to Jesus Christ and were known by Jesus Christ -- for they claim to know him, but he does not know them. (He knows who they are, but they are not his sheep; "I [know you / can identify you] -- that you do not have the love of God in your hearts." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." "The Arm of The Lord is [made known / revealed] to his servants, but [The Lord's] foes will see [The Lord's] wrath." "Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God, understand it, and obey it." To be blessed means to be taught by God. The cursed receive neither knowledge nor understanding, so they seek to steal information... in futility. "But God told him, 'You fool! This very night, your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have stored up for yourself?' This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich towards God." "It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to The Father and learns from him comes to me, and whoever comes to me [for this purpose, to learn] I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me: that I should not lose any of all who he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day; because my Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son [of God] and believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." It is not necessary to defend yourself. But this is a difficult lesson for mortals to learn. If God loves you, God will defend you. If God does not love you, your defense is wasted effort anyway. Which is greater: death or life? "I give life, and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." It is the same with communicating as it is with physical things; it is the same situation with the mind as it is with the body. Everything is God's realm. The will does not change the mental or the physical. The physical does not change the mental or the will. But all this will seem like nonsense in the cursed mind. God is in control. "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me and not kept my decrees. Return to me, and I will return to you." I wonder if you know how to return to God. "No one can come to the Father except through me." God and Jesus Christ is willing to accept your heart, mind, soul, and will. But are you willing to listen to God and Jesus Christ? The God of The Living has commanded "I do not delight in the death of anyone. Live! Why should you die? Shouldn't you rather repent and live?" If a person has eternal life now, that does not end with the physical. "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them." "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." "I am The Resurrection and The Life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" So Jesus Christ's words are life, and to keep his words (think about his words and remember them) is to gain eternal life. "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me..." Does Jesus Christ know you, and do you know Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ's words make a person clean, and then they need to wash their feet (metaphorically). "The words I have spoken to you have made you clean; but not all of you are clean [he was referring to Judas Iscariot who did not retain his words and would betray him]." "Whoever has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; [then / because] his whole body is clean." "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be filled with light. If your eyes are bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness. [...] So then make sure that the light within you is not darkness." (paraphrased) If you care about your life... "Whoever comes to me will find out whether I speak on my own or my words come from God. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." -- Those who are enslaved and silenced to man's laws are cowards; they are chaff in the wind. Such are radio talk show hosts and public news media broadcasters. Chaff and dust is blown by the wind and observing it indicates the direction the wind is blowing, but the chaff offers no resistance to the wind. You only see a small subset of the current, and when you go out and stand against the wind, the dust and chaff only makes the wind hurt and sting more; and you have to protect your eyes so that the dust does not damage your sight. But those who fear God and are blessed see what is hidden from all others, because "Everyone on the side of truth listens to [Jesus Christ]." Yes, the talk show hosts and radio pundits narrate the destruction of humanity but fear breaking the laws of men, even as those laws beat men down to dust, which do not allow them to remotely suggest or allow anyone else to remotely suggest any kind of resistance to the destruction of the world. Tell them this and they will cut you off the air. Or rather, they will make excuses for their evil complicity as they censor you. They do not know God. Everything they do is done for men to see. It is a "show" by those who try to hide themselves in darkness and act as guides of the blind. "This is the verdict: Light has entered the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Whoever does evil hates the light and will not step into the light out of fear that his evil deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth steps into the light so that it may be plainly seen that what he has done has been done through God." -- How much there is to learn from Jesus Christ -- and how few there are willing to do it. -- To inform one that they are being deceived is a waste of effort, because everyone on the side of truth listens to Jesus Christ. They vote as Republican and Democrat in the USA, they cheer their players on like fans of two teams in a sporting event, but they do not realize that the game is rigged; they are all deceived and slow to learn from God. They are foolish and slow to believe everything from God's mouth; the people do not know or understand anything. They say, "What I [do] know is..." and "But what I'm [certain of/sure about] is..." and they all look so very foolish, because they know nothing at all. Is their disgrace unlimited? It grows like the expanse of the universe... seems to grow. Why speak to a soul that has no room for truth? -- Shall we contrive laws to appoint stooges and fools to judge us? Shall I entrust my soul to a being of weakness who cannot rescue me and keep me safe? Shall I pretend in my mind or action that there is no God? Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? What do you think? A man had two sons. He said to the first, "Go work in the vineyard today." The son replied, "I will not." But later, he changed his mind and went. The man said the same thing to the second son. The son replied, "I will, sir." But he did not go. Which of the two sons did what his father wanted? Which is lawful on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it? Make every effort to enter through the narrow gate. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will be locked outside begging and pleading. He will tell you that he never knew you, and send you away. "Whoever acknowledges me among men I will acknowledge before my Father and his angels. Whoever disowns me among men I will disown before my Father and his angels. I did not come to bring [consensus in unity] but [interpersonal division]." (Note that the terms "peace" and "a sword" are superior here.) -- Self-indulgence and greed promote wickedness and cruelty and these are unclean, whereas generosity promotes gentleness, humbleness, and compassion which clean the evil from a person. There are depths to understanding as there are depths to love, because God loves those he disciplines, as a father loves the child in whom he delights, and whoever loves God will obey God's commands, as Jesus Christ explained. So when God blesses (teaches) a person, God is showing love. And Jesus Christ is The Teacher. So Jesus Christ is God's Living Mercy. There is more than one way to teach a person, a person can learn in several ways, and God is patient in his exercising Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on his footstool. There is no alternative to Jesus Christ; The Intercessor is the only way, truth, and life given by God. Therefore, Purgatory is a fallacy. I will elaborate. The human is soul and flesh. The soul is spirit, heart, mind, and will... or however it is otherwise as Jesus Christ explained. Every soul enters its body, which is considered a [growing] body at first cell division. The cells divide and the body grows, and some people (as soul and body) are born. If the person is born, well, the rest you can see with your eyes so I don't have to explain to you physical birth and breathing and other physical "signs of life". God gives spiritual and physical life and sustains it, and God also controls spiritual and physical death and brings it. The body physically perishes, and if the soul has spiritual life, which is eternal life, which is knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ who God sent, which is from the words of Jesus Christ which are spirit and life, in other words if the person knows God by accepting and believing God's words through God's only son, then the person has God's only son as the person's intercessor and when the person's life is demanded from them their soul is brought by an angel to Jesus Christ's feet. Then Jesus Christ sorts them out. If the person does not believe in Jesus Christ (does not accept God's words) or does not know such things, the person is still judged by Jesus Christ according to their actions including their words, and the person either rests in darkness if they [bravely] held to what is right [based upon their conscience, their mailbox from God], or they get thrown into Hell where both their body and soul are unceasingly destroyed in torment. The punishment fits the sin, but there is no minor sin, because the soul that sins is the soul that will die. By believing in Jesus Christ and accepting God's words through Jesus Christ, the student has eternal life and can no longer die (they are spiritually protected, and overall favored [blessed] by God) because they have crossed over from death to life; whoever believes in Jesus Christ will live (not even a [physical] hair on their head will perish; by standing firmly they will gain eternal life), even though he dies (physically) and whoever lives (spiritually) and believes in Jesus Christ will never die (spiritually, generally). Ultimately, what a mortal says and does matters only between them and God, because Jesus Christ [and he has given him (the) authority to judge because he is The Son of Man] will judge each person according to what that person has done [I tell you that men will have to give an account of even every careless word they have spoken, because by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned]. And notice that every sin is a social interaction: Do not: steal, murder, commit adultery, give false testimony, defraud; do: honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself. Evils that come from within a man's heart and make that man 'unclean': Evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, folly. Speaking is a social interaction. Writing is a social interaction. The reason to write is to document what is important; sometimes writing is for oneself to assist in memory/recall, sometimes writing is for others to assist also in education. Praying is silent speaking. Knowledge is between a soul and God, but God hides and manages knowledge and controls comprehension. "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." "I, The Lord, do not change. [...]" God and Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit is the unstoppable force and the immovable object, the "bookends" of Existence. His words are "solid" and he is one. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Listen to him! -- Nowadays, with the abundance of knowledge, not knowing something is a rare thing. With an abundance of information, greater discernment is required, and that is a rare thing, especially when someone does not know the truth. People do not like to be told that they cannot know something. But the knowledge people cannot know is nearly infinite, and so instead of knowledge grows their arrogance. -- "Not by force or by might but by my spirit." Force is action applying pressure contrary to a status; gravity. Might is offensive and defensive resilience contrary to forces; perseverance and persuasiveness; salt and thunder. Spirit is what God said is "my spirit" and "The Spirit of Truth" and "The Holy Spirit"; truth and life. Variability: "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. [...Return to me and I will return to you...]" Force is dynamic; it moves; it varies and can undulate suddenly. Even gravity is variable. It is based upon the difference of object and environment. Might is also variable for all who dwell in Weakness ("all" except God, the only strength, "who is greater than all") and is based upon an object's or environment's relative Weakness compared to another object's or environment's relative Weakness. Spirit is spiritual rather than physical. It is eternal rather than temporary or variable. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "I will open my mouth in parables; I will uncover things hidden since the creation of the world." "God is spirit" and "[does] not change". Jesus Christ is God's Living Word and said, "[...] because you (God) loved me before the creation of the world." So The Spirit of God is not new but reveals what God has kept hidden. Life and Truth has been hidden since the creation of the world -- "No one knows The Son except The Father, and no one knows The Father except The Son and those to whom The Son chooses to reveal him" and "If you knew me you would therefore also know my Father; from now on, you do know him and have seen him". God is the constant being who created and holds and manages Existence in and of himself [this is stated by me] -- in and of his Hand, Jesus Christ, because "with man this is impossible, but not with God -- with God, all things are possible" which is clearly at least two meanings as saying anything is possible for God and everything is managed / controlled by God. "The Spirit of Truth [...] will not speak on his own, but speak only what he hears; he will take from what is mine and make it known to you; [I tell you this because] everything that belongs to The Father is mine" and "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me; therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded of you; and I assure you that I am always with you, even until the very end of the age [of mankind]." Domain: "[...] the beginning, when God created the world [...]" "But if I drive out demons by the [finger/Spirit] of God, then the Kingdom of Heaven [has arrived/come and is now present] upon you." Force is perceived as both ephemeral and substantial, because the will seems ephemeral and physical things seem substantial. It is not necessarily so... "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from The Mouth of God" and "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." So the substance of God's Will is Immanuel (God's Presence). Those beings such as angels and humans who do God's will do it through Immanuel. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to The Father except through me." "Whoever comes to me will find out whether I speak on my own or whether my words come from God. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." So force is misconstrued which is why it is honored and exalted by mortals over the honor they would otherwise give to The Spirit. "The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him because he is and will be in you and among you." So the world dishonors God's words and God's Living Word Jesus Christ. And lacking understanding in their hearts and minds, they make excuses to dismiss The Spirit of Truth and Life. They are as animals to be ruled by force... and there is more that God has explained about all these things. The physical realm of "force" is managed by God's Spirit, which is why Jesus is God's Presence in Existence (spiritually ["The Father is in me and I am in The Father"] and physically ["This bread is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world; [...] The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life, but there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them."]) and yet as Jesus explained here, "they have seen all these miracles, and yet they still do not believe; this is to fulfill what is written in their law 'They hated me without reason'". It would seem that the domain of force is physical only. That means anything eternal cannot be altered by force. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth, where thieves break in and steal, are depleted and wear out, and moth and rust destroy, but store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven, which is not depleted and cannot wear out, where no thief comes near, and where moth and rust do not destroy. Because where your treasure is your heart also will be." So "God knows your heart[s]." "Did not the one who created the inside create the outside also?" Might is also considered both in ephemeral and substantial contexts. Is its use in ephemeral context a metaphor for substantial context? After all, the substantial context is considered "meaningful" as "substantial". But substance is beyond human perception; Existence is not perceived in detail by humans in any understanding gained other than the fullness of Truth that The Holy Spirit teaches through Jesus Christ from God who created all and controls comprehension. So the status of any forces, whether they are perceived as force or might, is perceived only in part by all except God and Jesus Christ, The Lord of Heaven and Earth and Jesus Christ who owns everything that The Father owns and who has been given by The Father all authority in Heaven and on Earth. And God is Almighty. But man has no physical reference for strength other than their own relative weakness, because as Jesus Christ explained, "My Father, who is greater than all, has given [my sheep] to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's Hand. The Father and I are one." So the only accurate reference we have of God's nature and might, and any resemblance of force, is Jesus Christ who is The Lamb of God and who is God's "only begotten" Son. Spirit is omnipresent both in the spiritual realm and the physical realm. That is to say, God was still in heaven when he was speaking through Jesus Christ. So in conclusion, Spirit is superior in every way to force and might that man is in those contexts habitually short-sighted and anyway failing to honor except through obedience to God. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "'Whoever speaks a word against The Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes The Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this age or in the next.' He said this because they were saying that he was demon-possessed." Thinking is a kind of speaking, but let my statements here, whatever value they contain, be a modicum of rectification justifying whatever unforgivable thoughts I have exhibited... and possibly to which I have been subjected. "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." But are they defending me or honoring me, at all? "Apart from me you can do nothing." The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. I have already written these things, have I not? Have you not yet read these things that I have already written? "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life." -- God's words are superior to my words. Should I tell man that I know much, and exalt myself among men as a wise leader? Should I say, "I know"? God's works are superior to my works. Should I show man that I have done much, and exalt myself among men as a creative genius? Should I say, "I can"? What is gained by talking to people at all? My soul is going to be judged like any other soul -- according to what I have said and done, and speaking is an action. Why should I be judged according to what I have said and done? Am I to be honored, Greatest One? There is nothing for me here. Jesus, my treachery is infectious, and you are the voluntary doctor and healer; there is no man who can diagnose and cure like you do. Should I paint pictures of angels and boast of the majesty of light? There is nothing for me here. The Lord is my food. I accept your body and blood, Jesus Christ. When I ask you a question, who is it that answers me? If I were to inquire of a priest or leader in a cult of a false god, it would not be the one who made and sustains and judges me who answers, but some blind guide Hell-bent on corruption and perversion. From whom do angels receive their splendor? What wealth or value could I possibly bring into The City of God that is not already shown to be possessed by God its sunlight and Jesus Christ its moonlight? Am I to be honored? Am I to think highly of myself and boast at all? What have I accomplished? What have I achieved that I can say to God, "look at all this I have done for you"? Should man testify that God has loved me and blessed me? Which mortal has any concept of what God does all the time? Why does any mortal speak at all -- other than because that mortal was created by The Creator in the image of the only true God who speaks and listens and who said, "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." Am I not always unworthy and unfit for service in The Kingdom of God? "The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." And I groan to God when he teaches me and waits on me before sunrise to get up and document what he showed me. And as I groan, I see the wonderful things pass me by, lost wisdom, lost opportunities to learn, all because I am weak. And he shows me that my shortcomings are no obstacle for his task. So if God is not hindered by his creatures, should I feel bad about myself, and about weakness? But if I am wanting to speak on my own at all, am I still fully desiring to adhere to God's words that are superior to my words? My treachery: as soon as I get a sense of relief at communicating my own words, my own thoughts and feelings, it is as if I have erected for myself a barrier between me and God's words that justify me; I spiritually cut off my nose to spite my face, or more accurately, erect a wall in front of me and proceed to body-slam it. How absurd. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." But I ask myself, "Haven't I already said all these things already [redundancy noted]?" So what is the point of re-iterating God's words ad nauseum until mental collapse? Or why should anyone listen to me at all anyway if they could do much better to simply listen to God and Jesus Christ on their own? They say, "Straight from the horse's mouth," and "First-hand knowledge". Those who listen to Jesus Christ learn God's voice, and then my voice is -- well, as I pointed out, I too will be judged by Jesus Christ. "Go throughout the world and proclaim the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. Whoever does not believe will be condemned. And I assure you that I am with you always, even until the very end of the age." And "the work of God is to believe in the one he sent". In my short time on Earth thus far, I have learned that I cannot humble or teach -- in other words, God's words are superior to my words, and God's works are superior to my works. God saves. So I might as well shut up -- yeah, that term I learned from being dealt it by man, not by God. Another scar from the wounding mouth of man. What a shitty life; surely I would have killed myself already, or otherwise died, had God not taken it upon himself to be merciful and sit down at his workbench and handle me. But what do I know, right? There is no potential, only God and some ... well, dumbass creatures such as myself, to put it crassly, trying to boost ourselves up by climbing like vines up the tree of life. Surely God has already immediately chastised and corrected me beyond what I can write down here in words. Surely I already acted like Adam and tried to defend my words and actions to God, only to suddenly and immediately realize how this is yet another act of treachery and disgrace. Surely I continue to unwittingly argue with God. Surely I suffer myself; surely God suffers me. Surely I want to bash my head down onto a table repeatedly; and surely that will accomplish nothing but physical damage. No, my treachery cannot be cured through imprisonment or harm or even entrusting myself to Jesus Christ or repentance and forgiveness. No, I have yet to perceive any cure for my treachery. Perhaps this is simply what God wants; after all, if I am humbling myself in futile attempts to gain favor in God's sight because he created me so that I should be humbled, what is the honor of Jesus Christ as God's living grace? Have I really accepted God's grace? But then again, I do not go jumping into canyons to elaborate upon, or emphasize, God's grace -- I do not give up and go about sinning or not sinning or whatever happens without care, because God gave the commands and made me aware of the commands "do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself" and wants man to "withhold his hand from doing evil". And so on, God teaches me, and I am as a gnat flying around or landed nearby him, listening and yearning for his lamplight in the darkness. When I see a person who has not bathed in his light and yearn for it, I am both repulsed and praying for them -- yeah, it's nasty business praying for blind people. Ugh, they're so disgusting, just the thought of that darkness makes me want to vomit and turn back towards the light. But am I not so repulsive, and is this not why God sent Jesus Christ The Lamb of God? His words make a person clean, but I do not feel clean. If the knowledge and adherence to God's words gains me eternal splendor and become a source of infinite treasure, and I know much already (or rather, it seems to me or any other creature's perception that God has given me much of these things already), ... whoops, look at the time, I guess I'm done with this dissertation. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." ... [my responses and questions to God omitted] "Likewise, when you have done everything you were told to do, you should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" I need to have in mind God's interests rather than man's interests... because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Rise up, O God, judge The Earth, because all the nations are your inheritance. (Psalm 82). "Now is the time of judgment upon this world. Now the prince of this world will be driven out. But after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." -- My fellow Americans, I have only one question to ask you: Does that star-spangled banner yet wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave? God is The Author of Freedom, and God wants his humans to be free. Jesus Christ explained, "Why do you call me good and ask me what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments," and then Jesus recited, "Do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, and love your neighbor as yourself." So for lack of a better way of saying it, I say that it goes without saying that whatever I say or do, God says and does better. Safety, freedom, truth, and life are the interests of God, and God exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, because in these things he delights. Dear God, please bless America and in your exercising of kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, free us from enslavement to all forms of evil. Dearest, Most Merciful, Most Patient, Most Compassionate, and Most Loving Jesus Christ, Lord of Heaven's Armies and Lord of Heaven and Earth, I ask that you teach us to be grateful that you have led Justice to victory, and teach us to serve you as your warriors proclaiming your intercessory victory over evil and death so that we might respect and obey your commands in Psalm 82 and receive eternal freedom and life by your Living Hand according to your merciful pleasure. -- I think that people have been conned about the etymology of the word Confederate regarding the Federal northern states and Confederate southern states in "the civil war" in America. "Con" in "Confederate" does not really mean "together", but "contra" meaning "against". The Confederacy was against federalization, and the Federacy (a word this spelling checker does not recognize, by the way) was for federalism. The "southern states" Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia seceded from "the United States" in about 1860, and they did this because they did not want to be controlled by federalism -- the central government which was built up into a corrupt regime by globalist banker and authoritarian (so-called royal, or benefactor, or rich lords and ladies and kings and queens in [European] monarchical) families. The United States, as established by "the founding fathers" did not last long at all -- merely [or less than] a decade before being usurped by bankers via the establishment of the US dollar as a federal currency, and less than 100 years before being conquered in a civil war intended to establish federalism by force. It would seem that history was written by the survivors, and in this case, the survivors were the Europeans, who, unable to win by force at the time of those who valued and fought for freedom, won by intrigue and sowing evil greed once the Americans became complacent and the intentions of "the founding fathers" were out-of-mind, a situation caused through distraction games like politics and propaganda (people speaking on their own to gain honor for themselves, as Jesus Christ explained is geared towards false testimony, and many times here I already quoted what he said). The value of freedom was lost and The United States became enslaved -- oh yes, the civil war was surely about slavery, but not about plantation slavery, but rather about slavery to a federal government which was anti-American. The states were called "united", not "federal" -- The United States of America, not The Federal States of America. Whereas The United States of America were, then it was, and in so being by loss of principle was no more. Do you Americans think that God favors The United States of America? Do you think that God cares what idiot people aggrandize themselves in his sight? They will all die anyway like grass, here today and gone tomorrow. God knows where they are going... where they are going to be thrown. And if you think God has favored The United States of America, why did God say "my kingdom is not of this world"? It seems to me that "patriots" are quite blinded by not being on the side of truth. Let me ask you, do you think The United States of America will last forever? I just told you it has been long gone for centuries now, so now what is this nonsense you have labeled as yours, and who are these blind guides you have ordained as your false prophets and priests, and who are these people bent over and plied like clay into a form of complacency? The principles lost quickly were re-written in twisted deceit and the perversion is hoisted as the banner of progress leading only to destruction. Oh sure, the name will remain for a time, but once the destruction is complete, not even the name will remain -- and you won't know what was lost because the old people and the warriors will be dead and the history books will be re-written to fornicate their indoctrination of the children. And people will be in denial and distract themselves with fanciful electronic games so as to avoid mere acknowledgement that they are about to die. Remember Lot's wife! Oh but the propaganda machine says "You cannot speak" and "Stop struggling" to deceive and destroy you, even as it calls you its mommy and daddy so that you do not look to God Our Heavenly Father, and on the other side of its mouth it says "be strong" and "you cannot lose" to embolden those who destroy families and people and justice. Have you still not understood that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy? Will the blinders be removed from your eyes? "Not by force or by might, but by my Spirit." The real patriot fights against the government. Certainly "The Jews" are to blame for much, but those are blind guides and foolish doomed people. Leave them. Do not participate in their money and their world wars and their deceptions. Let God sort them out; in their own law it is written that God testified to them that the soul that sins is the soul that will die. Because there is no pathway to Heaven other than Jesus Christ, those in Hell cannot cross over from death to life; and God throws a person into Hell because the person has rejected Jesus Christ. Those who reject Jesus Christ get rejected by God; but God is more patient than the test of time. "For you, any time is right," Jesus said to his worldly kin who rejected him. And God is always at his work. -- TFW you drop a toilet paper roll and it unspools on the dirty floor: "For dust you are, and to dust you will return." TFW you get a splinter in your foot: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in weakness." TFW you shave your head in misery: "Even every hair on your head is numbered." -- There is no debate when you know the word of God. There is no debate when you have the answers. Why ask man when God is speaking to you? Do you think it is wise for man to interrupt God, or for men to consult each other or discuss among themselves while God is speaking? It is unwise to be rude to God who knows everything and can do -- and is willing to do -- anything. -- What can I write to extemporaneously explicate or describe the majesty and grandeur of God's love? One who is taught by God sees and experiences and witnesses these things for themselves. My attempts to describe these things are only going to fail and distract and confuse people -- there is nothing with which to agree, or to which I could have men say "Amen", and that would be pointless anyway, because is there really any value in describing love to anyone who does not see it? -- Weakness is the state of all creatures. Some weak creatures inflict harm on other weak creatures. Some weak creatures try to help other weak creatures. What is harm and what is help? To kill a creature, is that harm? What about God who gives life and brings death? The one who knows God will gain by losing everything. If help is the opposite of harm, how can a weak creature help another weak creature? God is the only savior, and only God can give life. Even if one who knows God is in torment, even if they are afflicted by death, God is using evil for good purposes. Who can understand these things other than God and those who know God? The meaning is foreign and the words are confusing to those who are not permitted to comprehend. It is not the love of man that bears comprehension, but the love from God that bears comprehension. Discipline is mercy. The lessons are double-edged swords. Who wants to speak while knowing that rebuke is on the way? It is better to learn and say nothing, because then the refinement is not like an open flame that will destroy anyone who goes near it. How much weight does it take to crush an ant? The ant is a beast of burden and feels mighty, but a single drop of life-giving water will make it scatter; yet it survives the pouring faucet. Does man want to live? Were we not created with so-called instinct for survival? The desire to live is affected by so-called depression and so-called morale. But people have no idea what they are saying, do they? So it is better to listen to Jesus Christ and document for oneself than to proclaim. Who would understand anyway? "To whom has The Arm of The Lord been revealed?" "Glory to God in the highest, and peace to those upon whom his favor rests." "I give you my peace; I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." If a person can learn indefinitely from one statement by God, yet write books of statements themselves and cause only confusion, and God controls understanding, does this not reveal the inferiority of man? Does this not demoralize or depress man? Does this not identify that image is not being, and man was created merely in the image of God? So if knowledge belongs to God, and man craves knowledge indefinitely, does man not need to weigh importance of information in his meager attempts to retain it? "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? [...]" "Make every effort to enter through the narrow gate. [...]" While the world craves what it cannot possess, it descends by envy into rage against God's chosen people, those who hear God's voice. "Whoever belongs to God hears what God says; the reason you do not hear is because you do not belong to God." "Are you not in error because you do not know The Scriptures nor the power of God?" God's voice is identified in Jesus Christ's words by those who belong to God. But consider this: people have traveled across the world in search of the smallest amounts of wisdom, yet now they refuse to drink the greatest wisdom right in front of them. Is this not a state of cursed folly? -- Jesus Christ was created by God before the world began. "[...] because you loved me before the [world began / creation of the world]." "[...] then what about the one who God set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I [say/said] I am God's son? Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I am doing what my Father does and you still do not believe, then believe on account of the miracles that testify [in my name / about me] so that you may know and understand that The Father is in me and I am in The Father." A son is progeny and rightful heir. And God does not die. -- There are a couple things that God showed me from Heaven and I did not write them down. Well, that happens quite often. Oh well. God even told some prophets to not write down certain things they saw in Heaven. I wonder if any of my failures even matter. You see, the more I think and listen and see, the more tired I become, and so the less energy I have to document these things. Yes, the more energy one spends into understanding, the less energy they can spend into documentation of that understanding. It is both humorous and tragic, but ultimately a waste of effort anyway; so it is better to think in education from God than to communicate with others. Thinking takes time and effortful energy, which is why you probably have not read this entire document in a single moment and remained awake throughout that entire duration. The words are not meaningless -- they have meaning and purpose -- and they are relevant, certainly, to things worth knowing, things worth investing time and consideration into thinking about and understanding. However, succinct statements spoken by God are rich food for the soul. People stubbornly dwell in their own preconceptions, and do not understand that knowledge from God is the path to both war and peace, misery and joy. The Lord of Heaven's Armies is a war master but is slow to anger, even sacrificing his own valuable people so that the evildoer will have every opportunity to repent and gain invaluable eternal life. You see, the hammer is falling, the sword is coming down, the executioner's axehead is on its quick journey downwards, the door is closing, the end is drawing nearer every moment, and so God exercises limited patience, but the maximum patience. As God gathers and collects all the records of guilt into his vaults, he remains loving and kind to both the righteous and the wicked, both the grateful and the ungrateful, and then he comes and collects and the hammer hits, the sword cuts, the axehead thuds, the door seals shut, and the universe is melted by fervent heat. And in case you thought condemned people were smart, well, they will be the ones blaming you for listening to them after their oh-so-sudden paradigm shift called being thrown into Hell, followed by God showing you how stupid you are in front of everyone, followed by you being thrown with Satan, Death, and Hell (Hades) into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, the second death worse than Death and Hell put together. Oh, and you'll never get out of there forever. But I guess it doesn't matter what you think or do -- it's all "opinion" worth taking lightly, right, oh great and wise mortal? All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. Simple. -- "[...] and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:38). Accepting humbling of self and listening to Jesus Christ is an act of taking your cross and following Jesus Christ. -- God taught me a lot, and I do not remember it. But he said to me that it is already written down [for me as treasure in Heaven]. "The Kingdom of Heaven is near." Near means proximity, not temporality. "Neither will men say 'here it is' or 'there it is', because The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." I apologized repeatedly as I was being told many things by God (and I was sitting on the toilet at the time, in the process of defecating, so I did not get up and obtain materials for documentation) because I was not writing them down. So I was given the experience of personal education even more without my also documenting or otherwise attempting to convey that information to anyone else. God is the body, Jesus is the hand, and The Holy Spirit is the finger. -- And you know what, I am tired of quoting God's words repeatedly so that I might show how God's words support my statements. You go read what Jesus Christ said, gain that "educational degree" from The Master (your "Master's degree") and then you will see the quotes from God and start to have life. Why should I share any more? You go and listen to what God and Jesus Christ has said and done as recorded throughout history. -- You know what makes a person worthy? Listening to Jesus Christ. Doing God's will. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." (Jesus Christ is the one God sent.) "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." "[...] and whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." -- interplanetary resource siphoning -- It is not worth communicating any new information to someone who is not invested with all their heart, mind, soul and will in learning from God and Jesus Christ. Communications with "all the rest" might as well be short responses akin to, and not much more than, "mhm". -- Listening receives information. Speaking gives information. If you want to give information, speak. If you want to receive information, listen. If you do not want to give information, do not speak. If you do not want to receive information, do not listen. Speak to one who listens and he will be calm. Listen to one who speaks and he will be calm. Listen to one who listens and he will speak -- but beware what you say, because he is your superior. Speak to one who speaks and he will not listen -- so do not speak but wait to leave, because he does not want to listen. One who speaks does not want to listen. One who listens has much to speak. Interact with interest to one who listens because he already knows what you are thinking. Smile to one who speaks because he will think you are welcoming his words. But knowledge is distinct from communication, as the mind is distinct from the body. Those who listen to Jesus Christ know more. Those who speak on their own know less. Both the speaker and the listener value knowledge, but only the one who listens to God has knowledge. Those who speak on their own are enslaved to envy; they assert they know, but they do not have the blessings given, so everything they say is wrong. The one who is enslaved to envy is insecure and tries to control; real faith is not theirs, because they do not listen to God with their heart. One who is blessed responds to the test by doing the work of God. One who is not blessed responds to the test by becoming angry at God. Do not speak to one who does not listen, or you will get dirty and God will tell you to stop and leave. One who knows can speak of anything, but God is the one to whom every soul should privately speak and listen, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. But who wants to speak to God? God alone is good. The man who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will be given more and more and more... and more, beyond the capacity he sees as his limit. His cup will overflow with eternal life. The man who is truly of God -- pure in heart in God's sight (which means actually) -- he will be humbled, and discipline will not affect his love for God's words; he will grow in understanding and Jesus will adorn him with power, even though no one knows or sees him because Jesus hides him like a hen hides her chicks under her wings. He will see. He will learn. He will understand. He will live forever. And all men will hate him because of Jesus. What he sees others will look and not see. What he learns others will hear him say but not comprehend. What he understands he will not say, because it is not for him to say. He who gives life has drawn, collected, and kept him. To those who do not belong to God, the words of God are foofaraw. Those people are fools. To those who belong to God, the words of all others than God are foofaraw. Those people are wise. Tell one who does not listen something that he does not want to hear and he will ignore you forever. But listening to Jesus Christ gains a man infinite knowledge. -- The blue pill is the public narrative given to taste. The red pill is controlled opposition given to swallow. Take the purple pill and CHEW it. [...] that explains many public narratives. There are many trees in a forest, and many pieces in a puzzle, and refrigerators in a dirt pile do not punch antarctica-sized holes in the stratisphere. Bieman and Brown sip Mountain DEW as they sink hidden into the Pacific off the Cali coast. The deeper they go, the more the light plays tricks on them, and the further they move from home. The sky is wet. They silently swim quick as fish, here to there in a blink, biting into the desert night, while they take what they want in plain view out-of-sight. To cover their tracks they cause quite a din, but playing the notes in the song sounds their sin. But that is the downward pull one must escape to see the distant light. Poetrie and PRADA for cultural fodda. Startups and holdups in clandestine foldups. Moving and proving to keep up the grooving. Draining the ocean to keep plans in motion. Gaslighting nations with pop animations. Chewing the air to move it all there. Building in darkness behind the moonlight, sticks and stones for us will make a brief fight. I will make them beg to lose the waters. "Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!" Mt2431 Rv1118 G1.6 -- God created by permitting and separating. In the same way, he teaches by controlling comprehension and sanctifying by the truth. -- The fewer germs you get, the more sickly you become. -- Since before 1986, the US has been sending "alien reproduction vehicles" to distant galaxies using derivatives of the Biefeld-Brown effect. They have chosen a planet or moon, an "alpha site", to terraform, but they are moving atmospheric and oceanic resources there. They open wormholes in the atmosphere and underwater. This causes damage to the ozone layer, which they steal, and sea levels. They want to make a new Earth in a distant galaxy, a breakaway civilization. There is already a cloaked underwater base off the coast of California. They use "drones" to maintain it. There is also a base on the dark side of the moon. They have a huge fleet of spaceships, one of which could destroy the whole planet in mere minutes. It is said they are intending to stage a fake alien invasion soon. All public narratives since the 80s have been covering up and distracting from this. The blue pill is the narrative, the red pill is controlled opposition, and the purple pill is revelation: Interplanetary Resource Siphoning. The real IRS. The matter of aliens is misinformation. It is "possible" that there are aliens, but that is relatively unrelated to what people are doing. I see no evidence worth mentioning of aliens. I have seen several trees and been told in the sight of God that it is a forest. I could point out all the trees to prove the state of being, but I know not a soul who would be willing to listen... And even if by some miracle a person cares to understand black budget spending and worldwide lies, that person would likely do nothing about it. I guess people simply do not want anything worth wanting. TV brain-programmed zombies all believing they are the Christ. God created by permission and separation, and in the same way he teaches, controlling comprehension and sanctifying by the truth [(himself)]. -- Jesus Christ led justice to victory gradually and then suddenly. "The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by this generation." -- Jesus Christ knows your sins, past, present and future. He suffered an eternity of punishment for them on your behalf as the onlookers mocked him. Part of believing in God's Salvation is accepting the results of his work: that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. "[...] because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me [...] My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise him up during The Last Day." "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" The blind man saw and believed. -- They said "ignorance is bliss" but ignorance does not serve justice. God knows everything and exercises justice on Earth. -- John MacArthur said these things: "To deny God any place in his creation that he deserves is to strip him of glory and worship. That is a very serious act. We are warned in the ten commandments not to take the name of the lord in vain; not to do anything that diminishes his honor and his glory. Taking away the glory that belongs to him as the creator is taking his name in vain; it is diminishing him and it strikes a blow against the worship that he deserves." "[Genesis] is the only account of creation that exists, and it is the creation account from the only one who was there: the creator." These and other statements by him I find incorrect based upon what Jesus Christ explained... and based upon what I consider common logic. Some other statements he makes are correct in my assessment. And some of the things he says are things that I would not dare to say. For example, to assert what God knows is asking for reproach. Some things he says I would say in different ways -- using different words, less problematic. Some things he says I find insightful. Frankly, I consider it excessively dangerous to talk about God and Jesus Christ. A stance of abject humility and reverence I would say is very mandatory in the pursuit of faith in Jesus Christ and thus even hoping to say anything about God that would not deserve a kind of backhand smack in response. -- If you want a life without worry, listen to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gives me a life without worry. He gives for free and does not take back. It is permanent. "I give you my peace. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon yourselves and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls because my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This is God's interest, and God controls it. "No one knows The Son except The Father, and no one knows The Father except The Son and those to whom The Son chooses to reveal [The Father]." "If you knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." "The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, because he [is and will be] in you and among you." The Truth, Jesus Christ, and The Spirit of Truth, The Holy Spirit, and The Father, God, are hidden from the world; this is controlled by God. "No one can come to The Father except through me." "No one can come to me unless my Father draws them [to The Father through The Son], and I will raise them up during The Last Day." So "the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things [are thorns that] come in and choke the word[s of God] so that [the word] does not produce fruit" within those people. Then those people bring worries to others, and lead believers astray with worries, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things [than God's words]. "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. But only one thing is needed. Mary here has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, and about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food; the body is more than clothes. [Worry is aimless.] If you by worrying cannot [accomplish any justice or improvement for yourself], then why do you worry about [anything else you will ever think about]?" When the thorn of lack of faith fails, it tries these other thorns: the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. But even this is salt that could possibly fail. Do not rely upon yourself. Rely upon Jesus Christ. The pagan world thinks this is nonsense. Jesus Christ said, "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which The Son of Man will give you. On him, The Father has placed his Seal of Approval." "Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them. They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. Do not interact with them. Do not physically be near them. Do not consider them. Do not respond to them. Do not initiate communication towards them. If they are nearby, avoid them. If they approach you, do not look at them. If you are talking to someone and they interrupt you, excuse yourself from your former conversation and leave the area. If they accost you, like they accused Jesus in front of Pontius Pilatus, say nothing (your Intercessor knows), and go about your business, then move on -- leave them. The depth of this divine command, and other words by God, is greater than human consideration can perceive. "Man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the mouth of God." "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead; let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the [word of God / good news of the kingdom of God]." Do not worry about responsibility. "All things have been committed to me by my Father." Worry is fear of failure -- based upon expectation and weakness. Trust the only strength: The Mighty One. Hope is based upon desire; it is not the opposite of worry. Faith as confident trust -- "I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. But when The Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth?" and "Have faith in God." and "If you have faith and do not doubt, you can say to this [...] [tree / mountain] 'be uprooted and planted in the sea' and it will obey you; [if you have faith and believe, then] nothing will be impossible for you." and "You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it. Whatever you ask for in my name, believe that you have received it; it will be yours." Understand that there are spirits doing different things; some may even overpower you, but "no one can remove [my sheep] from my hand." "Do not be afraid -- you are worth more than many [birds / sparrows]." "My Father, who is greater than all, has given [my sheep] to me. No one can remove [my sheep] from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Those who try to best a lamb or sheep do so only to taunt and insult God. Surely you will see what results. Surely "the hand of The Lord will be made known to his servants, but his wrath will be shown to his foes." I have said this to the enemy: "You also will kneel and confess." You see, "they come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." And then I left them. And Jesus helped me. -- So how about that anti-semitism? That's a really bad thing, right? I mean, the Jews killed Jesus Christ, so that means the Jews must be good people, right? Surely Christians don't care about Jesus Christ, after all, they're buddy-buddy with Jews who forced the Romans to torture Christ, and proceeded to spit on him and mock him while he was hanging there suffocating. I guess anti-semitism is a really bad thing therefore, because the Semites -- I mean, the Jews -- are such wonderful people for killing God's only son. Say nothing about anti-Christian motivations, however. No, certainly a Jew won't be "the anti-Christ", a son of Hell. Hell is a nice place, right? I mean, Satan is good, yes? Christ was a bad man and the Jews were totally justified in having him tortured and executed under indescribable pain and suffering, right, Christians? You definitely should all try to get along with the mass-murdering, nation-destroying, deceitful, dishonest, and evil -- I mean good -- Jews, right? It's just peachy-keen that the Jewish doctrine involves killing all Christians. Oh wait, did the Jews not tell you that? I mean, you have read the Bible, haven't you? I mean, you did know that Jesus Christ laid down his life to allow himself to be executed by the Jews who were trying every-which-way to murder him. But I guess those Jews are all really nice people... really nice at deceiving the nations, that is. Do you still think the Jews are God's chosen people? So then what about what Jesus Christ explained through "the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our sight" as "therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven will be taken away from you [, the Jews,] and given to a people who will produce its fruit." So it is no longer theirs, because God took it away from them. They are no longer "God's people" because they rejected God's only son. Are you seriously that slow to form an accurate perception of reality? Or don't you care about reality and the truth and what is correct? Can't you plainly see that Judaism is the enemy of Christianity -- as Jesus Christ explained as is written in their law, "they hated me without reason"? ... People are so slow to respect God, it's sickening. Stupid mortals! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Oh, but they will learn. The education that awaits them is both sudden and lasting... and very convincing. Oh the vengeance. Oh the vengeance. Woe, the vengeance belongs to God; God will avenge!! Repayment is coming, and no one can stop him! -- What is the value of opinion in The Kingdom of Heaven? "[name], I have something to tell you." "Tell me, teacher." "Two men owed a moneylender some money. One owed him five dollars, and another owed him a thousand dollars. Neither of them had the money to repay him, so he cancelled the debts of both. Now which of the two men will love him more?" "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt cancelled." "You have judged correctly." [...] "What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Go and work in the vineyard today.' 'I will not,' the son replied. But later he changed his mind and went. The man went to the second son and said the same thing. 'I will, sir,' the son replied. But he did not go. Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?" "The first," they replied. "I tell you the truth, [...]" Such easy questions to answer, possible to answer correctly even for someone who has so little room for understanding and so little willingness to consider. You see, Jesus knows exactly what a person and a group of people should hear in order for them to believe. They may be caught up like a fuzzy sheep caught up in a thicket, or they may be scrambling for a grasp like a squirrel that miscalculated its jump in the trees; and all the while, Jesus Christ knows what to do, because his Father does not leave him alone, because he always does what his Father wants ("And this is the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all [that/who] he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day, because my Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day.") But how much of a relationship do you want with God who alone is good and alone is absolutely trustworthy -- the one who sent many people and finally his own son in the pursuit of justice for the afflicted? The one who justifies and gives eternal value to your life by his eternal love? "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness, and you belong to me." And The Lord takes care of his own... wherever they may be. -- If they hate me for worshiping God, it is because they hated God first. "If the world hates you, keep in mind that they hated me first." God knows Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ knows God. "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just like The Father knows me and I know my Father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." His hold cannot falter like weakly men. "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die. He has crossed over from death to life." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." You may notice that I say things repeatedly. Have you yet followed at any depth the sequences of logic? -- The manipulation of a fool is to use absurd and false statements to drag those who know and care about the truth down to the sewer where they can more easily fling the sludge of their arguments. The fool eats the sludge waste and would rather try to convince himself it is a banquet of delicious food by salting it with arrogance than step out of the sewer into the light, vomit the sludge, be washed clean of it with pure water and soap, bask in the warm and nourishing sunlight, and be sustained by real healthy and delicious food and drink, and discover real joy and peace. The worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things distract from, and choke, to hinder understanding and perseverance by, the words and interests of God, that food that the human heart, mind, soul, and will lives upon. The food that gives eternal life is what a human should desire -- this is the food that The Son of Man gave; it is his flesh -- and temptation is the perversion of desire, suggesting to a person that the person should want what they actually should not want. There is temptation of knowledge -- but knowledge comes from God. So knowledge is given to those who trust God. Truth is given to those who trust God and Jesus Christ The Truth his only begotten son. Life is given to those who trust The God of Life and Jesus Christ The Life his only begotten son. Jesus Christ and God freely gave to the whole world: "I have spoken openly to the world. I said nothing in secret." -- and God controls comprehension: "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure." And since he rose, he has been drawing all men to himself: "And after I have risen, I will draw all men to myself." ...with faithful, loving kindness: "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you to myself with faithful, loving kindness; and you belong to me." Ah, people feel the need to belong. They want to be a part of something. Well, guess where that comes from? You were created by God and you desire to belong to God and you should be a part of The Kingdom of God (The Kingdom of Heaven). So listen to Jesus Christ, whose words have been painstakingly recorded throughout history by those who delight in his words. This world has been consumed by misery. "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Jesus Christ was the light of the world while he was in the world, which was "the year of The Lord's favor". "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of The Son of Man, but you will not see it. Men will tell you, 'here he is!' and 'there he is!,' but do not believe them [or go chasing off after them]." Yes, many claim to be the savior of the world -- simply listen to a few words by politicians if you want to find them. So they claim to be The Christ. And so they are slaves of arrogance, all saying, "listen to me!" Look here and you will see what God has said to the world: "This is my son, who I love and with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!" "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." -- -- CONFIDENTIAL -- -- FOR THE PRESIDENT'S EYES ONLY -- Dear Mr. President: I hope this letter finds you in high spirits and good health. Kind regards to your family and friends. There is a secretive matter I would like to address here, and your consideration is greatly appreciated. I do enjoy presenting matters in substantial context, and I am sure for you my words are clear without much explanation. Finally, thank you for your public service. Every great insight is found through God's words, the greatest context. Salvation was purchased for man at the greatest possible expense, and freely given to all who would accept it. Therefore, there is no excuse to not accept it. Therefore, there is no excuse to not listen to Jesus Christ. "There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words. The word that I have spoken will judge him on The Last Day." (John 12:48). "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is [true/trustworthy], and what I have heard from him I speak [openly] to the world." (John 8:26). "And he has given him authority to judge because he is The Son of Man." (John 5:27). Therefore, "do not judge; do not condemn; forgive". (Luke 6:37). "[Dear] Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is necessary." (Luke 10:41-42). Understanding, purpose, value and all good things through which desire is properly directed towards God who alone is good and by whom all blessings are given are the interests of God for man, male and female, who God created in the image of God. (Note Jeremiah 31:3 and John 6:44.) Temptation is the invasive misdirection of desire towards pagan interests that causes perversion and damages and chokes a man with the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things, so that the man might not gain happiness and strength from The Only Strength and grow into brilliance through refinement by discipline and attribute all the successes of justice to The Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth because in these things he delights. Faith in Jesus Christ is the only requirement in God's interests. And "many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails". (Prov. 19:21). Therefore, I respectfully request that the interplanetary resource siphoning projects be discontinued in favor of not destroying the earth and in favor of superior terraforming alternatives yet to be perceived. It is a bad idea to continue opening "wormholes" within the atmosphere of the planet, whether sky or ocean depths. "A man's insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense." (Proverbs 19:11). So do not rush the various space programs but have the [insight/wisdom] to be patient with progress and be careful to no longer damage God's footstool; and I respectfully advise that now would be an excellent time to inform by truth rather than perpetuate absurd cover story deceptions such as aerosol cans and refrigerators in a dirt pile punching holes in the ozone layer the size of Antarctica -- why not start with a press conference sharing Obama's Kenyan birth certificate? Surely that would suffice to begin the rationale that the Democrat party should be dissolved... and as an opening argument for questioning the fruit of all their policies. The truth is always the best policy. I leave you with three last quotes: "We give thanks to you, O Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were enraged, and your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward your servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear your name, both small and great -- and to destroy those who destroy the earth." (Revelation 11:17-18). "I tell you the truth, this [generation/race] will not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matthew 24:34-35). "I tell you, my friends, you should not fear those whose extent of harm is killing the body. Instead, fear [God] who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:4-5). Sincerely, [signed] -- Special thanks to Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, for pointing this out: "My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who sent me. [...]" "[The Spirit of Truth, The Counselor] will not speak on his own but will speak only what he hears; he will take from what is mine and making it known to you. Everything that belongs to The Father is mine, which is why I told you that he will take from what is mine and make it known to you. [...]" So they both speak from God, not on their own. "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." -- He who waits for opportunities waits forever in vain. -- He who states insights to a narcissistic, insecure, irresponsible, greedy, power-hungry controller is asking only for trouble. -- "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." (John 21:25). But obviously all knowledge about God and Jesus Christ, and everything said and done by God and Jesus Christ, is only acceptable if it is written down in The Holy Bible. Right, low-IQ person? I mean, it is totally justified to not believe someone who said that God said something to them -- they are obviously insane, mentally inept, critically deranged. Obviously what they say is worth immediately discarding from consideration, all the more so if they happen to be a person in your family or a neighbor in your hometown or a stranger who speaks English. Right? I mean, it's obvious, isn't it? God only exists on paper. Everything else is make believe. Makes sense to me! (That you are the laughingstock of Existence.) Oh no. I ran out of Danish Butter Cookies. Those stingy people from Denmark, don't they know my royal ass deserves more of their disgusting butter cookies? I mean, how dumb are they, to think that my royal heinieness should want for more butter cookies? The nerve! What do they want me to do, starve? Actually, fasting sounds like a suitable plan. Not that I will ever gain any understanding, because I am too dumb to genuinely humble myself to Jesus Christ. No, I just like looking meek like a wolf with its ears back. I get by pretty well among people that way; they are so easily manipulated! I am so clever, I should masturbate tonight in front of a mirror. Yes, I'm so excited, I'm so sexy, I'm so hot... Oh, I love myself so much, my precious. Yes, we love ourselves, and no one will ever make us feel bad about ourselves again, not so long as we has ourselves. Yes, my precioussssss. *runs fingers through hair* Oh, I wants ourselfs so much, we do! First comes temptation. Then comes dissipation (distraction). Then the shackles of arrogance click closed. Then the victim is mesmerized by narcissism as they are dragged down by the slave chains to death. Squirm for me. I know you love yourself -- your life -- so much, don't you? Show me how much you love yourself; take all that desire that you should be giving to God who alone is good, and turn it on yourself. Oh, you are so humble and meek, everyone can see it, so it must be true -- all your friends compliment you on how humble you are, how generous, how wise... and how rich you are from all your good and generous deeds. See, they have their highest plaque of honor to give you. Receive your reward from their hands. Don't think about an eternal reward, that stuff is all nonsense and imagined make believe. You only live once, why not enjoy life -- enjoy yourself -- love yourself, love being you? "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his [family ... everything he has ...] and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." Or if you think my paraphrasing is blasphemous... "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters -- yes, even his own life -- he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:26. Berean Literal Bible. Source: https://biblehub.com/luke/14-26.htm .) Enjoy that. Oh but there's more -- here, have more. "And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:27. New International Version. Source: https://biblehub.com/luke/14-27.htm .) See? I can be scholarly too! Do you like to read? Heh heh heh. -- God's Kingdom reigns forever. The rest gets burned. -- "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me." -- Jesus Christ Remember that the next time you call certain humans "the authorities". They are not. They are usurpers, but Jesus Christ said, "My Kingdom is not of this world." -- If I speak and a person does not listen, this is the judgment: I spoke. I spoke to them. They did not listen. So I am not at fault, and their fault is compounded by the weight of the words I spoke to them. "There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not keep my words. The words I spoke will judge them during The Last Day." That's some serious judgment. -- "Well I'm asking you all to be strong, I'm asking you to face the truth, I'm asking you to stand up against evil." -- Alex Jones (June 16, 2020) When the angel of The Lord said to the prophet "be strong", was that a foolish statement? To ask someone to be strong, to say to them "be strong", is an acknowledgement that they are in fact weak. Does a man say to an elephant, "be strong" when it considers the ant or the grass crushed underfoot? Of course not; the Weakness is not perceived in that comparison, or offered by anyone (I guess) to the elephant for consideration -- unless God has spoken to the elephant to teach it. But God is Almighty and is in control. "I, The Lord, do not change." And faith in him is wisdom; yes, the opposite of sin is faith in Jesus Christ. And I'm done. I doubt that in your time in the universe you will know the extents of what God has done for me, so I suggest you stay away from stating foolish axioms. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil because you are with me." -- I am not sure whether I am the last one, the last warning, or the death knell. The stubbornness of men, which has really gotten quite old now, makes it difficult for me to ascertain. I feel like I am the last breath of air, and if people don't take it, they die. I am the wildcard. God continues to patiently teach me. To those who hush me I say, I can accept that -- I can accept your death. But can you? Can you accept the vast weight of your complete shame and demise and destruction? If you can't accept Jesus Christ -- if you cannot accept what is good from God -- how will you accept the vast quantities of bad he lofts over your head to crush you into dust? So much to say, but I am silent -- "The Lord rebuke you, Satan!" People are not social beings, but society is invasive, and my enemies surround me like wolves attacking a little lamb. But my shepherd's words are within me, and he lays his hand over me for divine eternal protection; he has loved me when no one else would or could. For what is the purpose of the mouth if not to speak the truth, of the mind if not to understand the truth, of the ear if not to hear the truth, of memory if not to retain the truth, of imagination if not to serve the truth, of the heart if not to overflow from the abundance of truth, of the will if not to honor the truth, and of desire if not to want the truth? "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me," said Jesus Christ. So I say to my friends as the sword is brought against me, "My friends, now we die for our love of Truth, but victory belongs to The God of Truth. The world cannot accept God's love, but we know our weakness and his might. Because he loves me, I will never die, because he is trustworthy, even though he makes this flesh fail for his reasons which prevail. And the infinite wealth of eternal life is forever mine in him, because his mercy never fails." Even if I forsake him, and he abandons or disowns me, I have no choice but to disown myself, because he said, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" And he said, "Whoever disowns me among men, I will disown him before the angels of God," and "Whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." So no matter what I say or do, I have life because of him; my failures are now only temporary, because My Creator has given me eternal success in his only begotten son, who is My Lord. And he hides real understanding and love and peace from those who do not really listen to him. In me is infinite shame; in Jesus Christ is infinite genius, honor, love, happiness, peace, and potential. Oh mockers, come feast on my corpse, but the tongue of my intercessor is the flaming sword. Everyone will be salted with fire. "Your wickedness will bring its own punishment. Your turning from me will shame you. You will see what an evil, bitter thing it is to abandon The Lord your God and not to fear him. I, The Lord of Heaven's Armies, have spoken!" (Jeremiah 2:19). Am I not among a constant infusion of shame and grief (trouble) in this world? But The Lord, my Righteousness, survives all and has overcome the world. His "sacrificial" work of loving The Father through obedience to his command to lay down his life and take it up again is eternal mercy; "Because I live, you also will live." So I will live from his eternal words within me, Immanuel God's Presence forever with me, and never die, even though the flesh, which counts for nothing, returns to dust. Yes, my body goes to his footstool, and my soul goes to his throne. Naked I entered this world, and wealthy beyond imagination I will depart. May The Name of The Lord be praised forever. But what is all this to me? His plan, his glory; his love, my life -- all these things were not my idea nor my work. Even if God did not want to show me compassion, in his wisdom, I am left merely to begging and wanting and yearning. But now my begging, pleading, wanting and yearning is merely a minor detail, because whether I remember it or not, he has known me; whether I remember his words or not, I have known him, that his words are true life for me, and I have eaten this food that makes me live forever.

Originating Author's Note Facets of Faith Life is a journey of learning what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ, God's Son. Faith is trust, understanding, belief, peace, gratitude, joy, obedience and eternal life; proper faith is a spiritual trust in the Spirit of God and Jesus Christ who alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. They are One Lord God Almighty, the Father and Son together. Jesus is a part of God: God's Mouth and Hand, the One through whom God Saves and is present within Existence that God created in and of himself, the God of Life, and Jesus, Life. In Existence, in Reality, there is only Life through Jesus Christ, God's Living Word and Salvation who is One with the Father as the Lord God Almighty: when we look to Jesus, we also see Our Heavenly Father who is greater than all. And Jesus welcomes us into God's Family, the Kingdom of God, through himself, and teaches us about God and himself, about Life, and we learn from God what it means to trust in God. As we grow in trust, we grow in faith, and live for God according to his commands which lead all people who listen to God's Mouth to eternal life, which is to know God and Jesus Christ, God's Son, who loves us with an everlasting love and draws us to himself with faithful loving kindness. Let us glorify God by sharing the love for God we have in our hearts. Share wisdom, that knowledge which is honestly recognized to be of true importance to the sanctity, the well-being, of human life, whose fundamental question asks what is important -- and this is only through being sanctified by the Truth, God's Living Word, Jesus Christ, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Therefore, share what you have learned from God, from God's Mouth, Jesus Christ the Absolute Truth, Our Righteousness and Salvation. [signed] P.S. Belief is the intentional decision to accept evidence. Certainly, honestly, everyone has the evidence that God exists. A non-believer is not willing to accept proof or evidence because in their heart, they have no room for the Truth. They do not want to accept that the Truth is true, to believe. An atheist is in denial of evidence, willfully ignorant because they fear to understand; quite simply, they do not want God to rule them, so they deny the Living Truth and accept blindness of the heart instead, resulting in their inability to understand anything. They harbor no truth. Table of Contents Chapter Name of Author Age Entry Date 1 Robert 27 October 12, 2013 1 Listen to Jesus Christ. Poetry and lyrics need not rhyme. Value does not appreciate worth or faithfulness. Kindness (mercy, compassion, love) Justice (working for the well-being and betterment of everyone involved in a particular situation) Righteousness (sanctified by the Truth, God's Living Word, Jesus Christ) God alone is good. God and Jesus Christ alone is Absolutely Trustworthy. Keep Watch I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. Immanuel (God's Presence) Nobody can remove me from my Heavenly Father's Hand, Jesus, my Shepherd. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength (will). Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not judge. Forgive. Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Be patient and do not put the Lord your God to the test. Man lives not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the Mouth of God. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," while the only proof atheists want is vodka. It is better to trust God. Rejoice in the Sovereign Lord God who does not change; he is Good and his mercy, salvation, and faithfulness endure forever.

Love, [signed] -- Jesus walked on water. He is God's glory. Jesus rose from the dead. He is the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus taught in parables because he understood his own. He is the Teacher. Jesus took on our sins and infirmities and forgave and healed. He is the Messiah. The words Jesus speaks are God's words. He is God's Living Mouth. Jesus' eyes are like a blazing furnace. He is the Source of Purity. Jesus does what God does, exercising kindness, justice and righteousness on the Earth, for in these things he delights. He is God's Living Hand. Jesus is the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. The Lord Jesus Christ is my Righteousness and my Salvation. [...] If I want to enter Life, I must obey the Ten Commandments. -- ELECTUS VERITATI SERVIENDI [eligi ad veritatem servandam] [chosen to serve the truth] From the Beginning, I was chosen to serve God. There is only One and his Son; nothing exists apart from him. His will is beyond my knowledge, but Jesus Christ, his Son, teaches me what he gives me to know about himself. He is most merciful. He enables me to exist. Nobody can remove me from Jesus Christ's hand. There is a famine coming. Store up for yourself treasure in Heaven: Jesus Christ's words. Remain in him; his is the only Name. Nothing apart from God's Will. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Every word that he speaks is True, and He is the Only One and is seated at God's right hand in Heaven. He will return on the Last Day that only the Father knows about, and men will see him coming on clouds with great power and glory. Listen to him! Every word Jesus Christ speaks is True, because Jesus Christ is God's Son, the Absolute Truth, God's Living Mouth who says only what God says, God's Living Hand who does only what God does. God is the God of Life, the Only True God who is who he is, and Jesus Christ is the Source of Purity of the Father who is His Father and the Father of all people who believe in Jesus Christ. He is the Master and Teacher. All others are false. There is only One and all praise and glory are his alone: the Father in the Son and the Son in the Father, and the Son in me and myself in the Son. God and Jesus Christ alone are Trustworthy. "Who is this King of Glory?" Jesus Christ is: Righteousness God's Son The Source of Purity God's Presence The Absolute Truth from God's Mouth God's Living Mouth and Hand The Anointed One, Christ, Messiah The Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep My Righteousness and My Salvation The Savior of the World The Only Teacher and Master and Redeemer The Way to God, The Living Truth, The Author of Life King of Heaven; "My kingdom is not of this world. You are right in saying I am a king. For this reason I came into the world: to testify to the Truth. Everyone on the side of Truth listens to me."; "Heaven is My Throne and The Earth is My Footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, or where will my dwelling be? Has not My Hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" In darkness or light, Trust in God's Might. At the end of the day, He has the say. In courage or fear, He has your rear. Delight in his Law, To give you no flaw. All ears to his Son, To him compares none. The priests, the Levites, must keep God's Words unmodified, because "I, the Lord, do not change. Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have rebelled against me. Return to me, and I will return to you. [Bring your entire heart and being to me in Spirit and Truth and Prayer, and I will open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that you won't know what to do with it!]" Jesus Christ said that the Father says the true worshipers must worship in Spirit and Truth, for those are who the Father desires, because God is Spirit and his worshipers must worship him in Spirit and in Truth. "The words I speak to you are Spirit and they are Truth, but there are some among you who do not believe. That is why I said that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them and enables them, and then I will raise them up at the Last Day." "And this is Eternal Life: that they would know you, the only True God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." "For my Father's will is that whoever comes to the Son and believes in him shall have Eternal Life, and I will raise them up at the Last Day."

Teach the children to love each other: show them what to do to demonstrate their love for one another, and to understand Jesus Christ's Real Peace for all who would accept him. There is no reason to fear anyone besides God. All praise to Jesus Christ and the One who is within him. To The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Father in Heaven, who walks on the water and hovers over the deep, whose glory passes us by, then comes to reside with us in the ship, most loving, merciful and kind, whose Name is the only name, Jesus Christ, Immanuel. Who Teaches us what is to come. Who Protects us in the state of complete weakness, helplessness. Who is the only one who truly cares. To the one who gives in permanent vast abundance, who has poured out his life all the way through death, so that the world would know that he only does all that the Father, his Father in Heaven, and now our Father in Heaven, commands him. Among sickness and death, all praise to you, Jesus Christ in Heaven. Nobody can remove me from Your Hand. All praise to you, Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, may your Name be praised forever. Your Name is Jesus Christ, your Presence, Jesus Christ alone, your Son, who resides with You forever. All praise to you, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, Who Is Within You. Who is guiding me, most patiently, to trust him. To him whose voice is Life, the Absolute Truth, while all others are wayward usurpers and thieves who try to kill and destroy, but God is in control, and Jesus Christ is The Only One, the only Name; there is none other, for there cannot and God does not will there to be any other Name besides The Lord of Majesty and Strength Whose Holy Mercy endures forever. All Praise to you, Jesus Christ in Heaven: God and Jesus Christ are the only ones who are Absolutely Trustworthy as the Lord God Almighty, the Father and Son who are One God and His Son, my Master and Redeemer. The Lord is My Righteousness and My Salvation. I asked and I received. Thank you for saving me. Now crush me. [...] I am to be weak and God is Always Almighty [...] "Heaven is my throne and The Earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build me, or where will my dwelling place be? Has not my Hand made all these things?" God made everything and everyone through His Absolute Truth, Jesus Christ, His Living Mouth and Hand, His Son. God is God of Life who is and who begets Existence in Himself through His Son, Life; God is God of the living, those who live in Him because of faith in His Word, Life, who was born into the world as The Son of Man, the Anointed One, Whose Name is The Only Name, Jesus Christ, Immanuel. It is a great honor to be created, and a greater honor for God to send His Son Jesus Christ to Teach us about himself and draw us to himself with faithful, loving kindness. It is a great honor to be associated with Jesus Christ because of who Jesus Christ and God is. God and Jesus Christ alone is and are Trustworthy. God alone is Good; if you want to enter Life, obey the Commandments. What can I say or do to honor Jesus Christ my Teacher and Lord, and in the same way honor The Only One within him, who I may call my Father and my God because of Jesus Christ? All honor is already His. So the real question to ask is, what are you telling me to do, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father? What is my purpose for being; why did you make me? Align my heart with Yours. Let me eat your Truth, the Truth Who Is Your Very Own, so that He will make up my being and nourish me forever, as He is Of You Purely and Absolutely, Forever. Trust in God. God does not get confused. The storm may come, but know him who sent it. A wise person will see the storm but fear God who sent it, because God is greater than the storm, and He teaches me what I need to know ahead of time. Then when the time is right, I am ready, and the storm comes, and I rely on Him and submit to Him according to his plan and tutelage. Roses are white, violets are violet, Don't start a fight, or vex your pilot. Humility and Contrition "I Praise You, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, for you have hidden these things from the wise and educated, but revealed them to little children instead. Yes, Father, for this was your Good pleasure. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Why? Why should I write? If anyone has not been given God's Words to share, they will remain silent, or they will die. Anyone who testifies about Jesus Christ is a liar if they do not accept him. If anyone testifies about God but rejects his Son, Jesus Christ in Heaven, they are a liar and must remain silent, and they will die because of their rejection of God's Living Word, His Mouth and His Son and His Hand, His Presence and Life Himself. For "man does not live upon bread alone, but upon every word that comes from the Mouth of God." Therefore, why should I write? Listen to Jesus Christ instead. Go. Buy the oil before he returns, expecting your lamp to be fully bright. You wouldn't listen to me anyway. And if you tried, you wouldn't understand a word I say. Because God and Jesus Christ alone are Trustworthy. You are not. I will talk to God instead. And I will only listen to God and Jesus Christ. All others may as well be liars. If you do not listen to Jesus Christ, then you are a liar. "Everyone on the side of Truth listens to me." If you do not obey God's Commands, then you are a deceiver, and a sinner, and you must repent and believe in Jesus Christ who is seated at God's Right Hand in Heaven, or else you will surely die. Jesus Christ is Righteousness. You either listen to him, or else you listen to evil. If you find middle ground, God will spit you out. If you are lukewarm, God will spit you out. If you are cold, God will punish you so you will repent. If you are hot, and salted with Fire (Jesus Christ, The Absolute Truth from God's Mouth, and The Source of Purity to God, Righteousness), then God will bless you: "I will bless you;" "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father comes to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never turn away, because I did not come to do my will, but to do the will of Him who sent me. And this is the will of Him who sent me: that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at The Last Day. For My Father's Will is that whoever looks to the Son and believes in him shall not perish, but have Eternal Life, and I will raise him up on The Last Day." Keep Watch when in distress. Keep Watch when happy. Keep Watch when all of the enemy have surrounded you. Keep Watch when you are startled and attacked. Keep Watch for the Source of Purity when impurity threatens to adulterate you. Keep Watch when you are hurled to the ground and killed. God does not allow anything to happen to you without his permission. Keep Watch because every knee will bow and every tongue confess. Keep Watch for all the signs of his return, so you can open the door to him. And when he returns for all to see on the Clouds of Heaven, do what he said to do: "stand up and lift up your heads, because your Redeemer approaches." When all drugs and mind-numbing antagonism and wicked vileness has harmed your mind, heart, body, will, and threatens your soul, Keep Watch: he exclaims, "Behold! I am coming soon!" And then it will be the end, the Renewal of All Things, their separation at his Judgement, and all that he has in store for them. So Keep Watch for his return as he described it ahead-of-time. [...] Existence is within the context of God's Word. -- Dear [mother], I had an epiphany while waking up this morning. You were right in what you told me. Jesus said to watch out, to be on our guard against all forms of greed, and that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. I think that life has nothing to do with possessions, but is about learning what it means to trust in God. Things of this world are also temporary, and it is for these reasons that I did not prioritize taking care of things, and I had difficulty with the second-greatest Commandment of loving your neighbor as yourself. However, even though the body is temporary, Jesus and God gave us that Commandment, and when asked about it, told the account of the neighborly Samaritan who took care of his stranger's body when he saw the need. Jesus also gave thanks before he broke bread, and used bread to represent his body of the New Covenant. Furthermore, it is cheaper to maintain than it is to discard and replace. So we should be grateful to God for what we have, and take care of the people and things around us, like what Jesus did. Then we can also share the nice things we have with others, so that they can be grateful for them also. This is what it means to be trustworthy with things. Love, [me] -- God uses His Creation to teach us. Seeds were made to be scattered. God sent His Son, His Word, into the world to teach us that we would understand; God speaks to us so that we will understand. God hides the understanding from the wise and educated and reveals it to little children instead because God teaches by His Holy Spirit and this is in God's wisdom and by His Will for His Creation. We must worship God in spirit and truth, through Jesus Christ the Truth. Life is about the process. You see the end result, the Tree of the Kingdom of God, and you say "How can I get there?" and you learn the path from Jesus Christ, the Way, Truth and Life, and you learn from Him what steps and actions you must do along the way; God guides you and teaches you with open arms and holding you with His Hand, Jesus Christ, from whom nobody can remove you. Along the way, when you determine to seek God, the Truth, you learn the meaning of life which is to obey God and God teaches you according to what He has in store for you each day. If we forget the path in our goal to become the grown tree, we become over-stressed and entertain thoughts of abandoning life, or we lose our joy of the learning process because of our desire to immediately understand and achieve "results" of what we see (think of) as the goal. Music is the same -- instead of focusing upon the end work as being "finished," which is to neglect further improvement anyway thereafter, we would need to recognize what is going on in the music along the way, the Process Design. The meaning of music then is probably to show that, like all work in life (maybe), our focuse should include the process, the path, the journey, not just what we see is the end result, or goal. Yet share the joy of understanding, because God's word was given to be shared with everyone in the whole world. God has protected me from fear now! -- Mark 4:26 : Meaning is not found in what something does, but in its results. Faith is the only way to slip out of the chokehold of vanity and remove the hood of arrogance from oneself. Then The Truth will set you free. Jesus Christ is Jealous for the heart that nobody wants, for the life that people turn away, for the soul that nobody loves, for the mind that nobody sees. The heart, mind, soul, will and life belongs to him, and God burns with Jealousy for you; you are Desired by God; you are Desired. You are Wanted. Be patient, and do not put the Lord your God to the test. Entrust yourself to God and offer yourself to him in prayer. "You belong to me," and "Give to God what belongs to God, and to Caesar what belongs to Caesar." You need him, and he burns with Jealousy for you; God wants who belongs to him. If you want good in the world, do good things of God who alone is Good. You will not see the full results of the seed you plant, but it will grow. -- I do not like this world nor anything in it. Outer space is even worse. Yet God made these things. They are a test for man, a lesson To say to him that God is not of the world Or of the flesh, but the Spirit of Holiness. God is God and not of his own creation, For "Flesh gives birth to Flesh, but Spirit gives birth to Spirit." His Own are neither of this world, but of Spirit, reborn through Christ. "Man lives not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from God's mouth." The World is spawned from chaos and the present order of death and sorrow. But God is in control as the Lord God Almighty; God's mercy sustains me, his faithful covenants of love show me That to live by True Justice is to obey God who created me. Fear has no place in that understanding, you see, I am weak, but God is Almighty. It is only lawful and Just to do good things, things of God who alone is Good, To save life, not destroy it, because God is the God of Life who gives it. Because God gave it, only God may determine its end; For mankind does not even see these things, but the Spirit only sleeps in death. The flesh and the spirit of a man will both rise to be judged, Either commended or condemned by what his spirit himself had done, heart, mind, soul and strength, For the Spirit gives life but the flesh counts for nothing. The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. In this world I will have trouble, but the Lord has overcome the world And has authority over it all by God's command. So I can ask of God and I will receive from God. A lesson here, an immediate blessing there, it is all God's mercy. I desire to not be foolish so that I would honor God, And I know the meaning of life is to obey God, and I am taught that The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation. -- I want a new law to be made: "The request for sanctuary in church must be honored for all people, by all people." This means that either every person is issued a key to every church, or more simply that all churches remain unlocked at all times. The safety of the house comes from the one who dwells therein. Everyone should respect the fact that people need the Lord. What about non-believers? Not everyone yet knows what they need. It is illegal to deny a natural-born citizen his rights: freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It is not part of the religion to put locks on doors to prevent people from entering the church to pray. But it is a state mandate that a church receives non-profit status as a result of its general nature of a public service. But my argument is that it is a private club house that affords nothing of substance -- which would be sanctuary -- to the public, because the public is not allowed to go there to pray. Rather, there is a distinct discrimination and bias against non-members -- that is, people who do not routinely pay tithes, the equivalent of the "temple tax" -- and against anyone who cannot pay money to use the building. In every way, operations are private and for-profit. -- Dear [sister], I am sorry for not meeting your expectations. -- Politically Correct is really Proselytizing Cowardice -- Satan is not God. God is the Judge. The Accuser tries to usurp God's Authority, But usurping God's Authority is impossible. Only through lies and evil deceit can Satan attempt this. God disregards the folly of men; Only one thing is necessary: That you are freed from slavery to sin by believing in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World. If you believe in him, God will not condemn you. -- "Earth" vs. "earth" "Earth" is a proper noun meaning the planet that is God's footstool. "earth" indicates dirt -- specifically, the ground on Earth. "Heaven" vs. "heavens" "Heaven" is a proper noun meaning the spiritual place that is God's throne. "heavens" indicates the physical place off earth outside Earth's atmospheres; outer space. God sits "enthroned above the heavens"; "Heaven is my throne and The Earth is my footstool." Heaven is above outer space, and man walks on the earth of Earth. "Heaven and Earth [and also, the heavens and the earth] will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." "Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, because the old Heaven and the old Earth had passed away -- and there was no longer any sea. Then I saw [...] and the voice said, 'Behold, I am making everything new!'" -- [to be continued] -- [end of archives] There are many things that I have not included in this document, and education from God is forever. Here are some additional things that I ended up recording here anyway, even though... Well, like I said, there is much I have not included in this document; and I have not even begun an organized elaboration or discussion upon what is written in the Holy Bible. I guess I leave that up to you to learn from God anyway. And no matter what I say or write or do, I am not important, and God's plan proceeds anyway. "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." Now in the last days, knowledge will increase, but because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. So mockery and abusiveness become in style -- perversion to fuel the destruction of the slaves of arrogance. I do not know if I have ever met anyone who actually loves Jesus Christ; anyone who is pure in heart. Am I the last? Judgment comes through me. After me, "shit hits the fan". Do you really love Jesus? "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands." "This is my command: love one another as I have loved you. [...]" "Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not give false testimony. Honor your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself." But does anyone really listen to God? Surely they will all claim to, but they only claim so that they might gain honor for themselves in the eyes of men. Do you know what it is like to learn from God? -- Employers want to think that they can control their employees. I realize how foolish that is. -- A tip about being among others: nobody actually wants to hear what you say -- or know and respect your perspective or understanding. Instead, they typically have one motivation: to exalt themselves. They are slaves of arrogance -- yes, they are all the same type of fool. And I have yet to meet anyone who both actually believes that God is real and is not a slave of fear. Oh sure, the fools put on the clothing that "believers" wear, but look at them and you will see, and watch what they say and do and it will be more than obvious, that they hold no reverence for God's words, and so nor do they actually love Jesus Christ, God's Living Word. It is obvious. And so I assert again God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The rest are spawns of lies. They love to talk, not to listen. So they claim to believe in Jesus Christ, but they do not really listen to him. God disciplines those he loves, as a father disciplines the child in whom he delights. So it is obvious to me who belongs to God and who does not belong to God. "By their fruit you will recognize them." Is this judgmentalism? So even though I have much information to assert, and revelations abound, they are not for me to provide. It is better for me to remain silent, because nobody actually wants to hear what I say -- they want to exalt themselves instead, that is their heart's greatest desire. Such weeds are everywhere on this footstool. Well, I guess Hell has plenty of fuel... enough to last forever. Hell has enough fuel to last forever. And it is always getting more. But The Lord takes care of his own, wherever they may be. Does this make you envious? -- [Hypothetical conversation start] Me: Romans chapter 3 verses 22 to 24 says, "And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Do you agree with this statement? Hypothetical Them: Yes, of course. Me: Are you a Christian? Hypothetical Them: Yes. Me: What does it mean to be a Christian? Hypothetical Them: Being a Christian means believing in, and following, Jesus Christ. Me: So if I disprove this quote by quoting Jesus Christ, would you listen to Jesus Christ? Hypothetical Them: ... Me: In Luke chapter 15 verse 7, Jesus Christ said, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent." So if Jesus Christ says that there are righteous people who do not need to repent because they have not sinned, why is it written in Romans that all have sinned and the implication is that therefore everyone must repent? Or let me ask you another question. You have no intimate knowledge of who has sinned when, but you might agree that a newborn has not yet sinned, because they have not yet been alive long enough to even know the difference between right and wrong and with that knowledge simultaneously deliberately do anything wrong. Therefore, at how many years old is a person considered guilty, even if they have not yet sinned? Or if everyone is guilty, then why did Jesus Christ rebuke the Pharisees by saying to them, "If you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. [But The Son of Man is Lord of The Sabbath.]?" Hypothetical Them: Uh... [insert stupid retort from their trying to exalt themselves over God's words] Me: So when it says, "All have sinned," does that include God and Jesus Christ, or do God and Jesus Christ not exist? Or if "all" does not include God, like when Jesus Christ said, "My Father, who is greater than all," and "My Father is greater than I am," then it includes Jesus Christ, which means that Jesus Christ was not an unblemished lamb. Or what about all the angels of God and His Most Revered Holy Spirit of Truth? Do they not exist, or have they also sinned? Can you tell me what sin they have all committed, and why they are called "his holy angels" and yet are condemned? Hypothetical Them: I think it means everyone except God... and maybe the angels, I guess. Hm, that's a good question, the wording must not be correct, or lost in translation. Me: But it's called the inspired word of God, and Jesus Christ stated conditionally, "and the scriptures cannot be broken". So it has to be correct if it is God speaking. So do you think the statement "all have sinned" is correct? If it's not, then what was written is not inspired by God. Hypothetical Them: Uh... *laughs nervously* Well, the church says -- Me: So since you do not believe in and follow what Jesus Christ explained, then by your own definition you are not a Christian. Why then did you answer "yes" when I asked if you were a Christian? Well, thank you for your time; have a nice day. *walks away* Hypothetical Them: *calling out to me* It means all humans. Me: *calling back* So you don't believe in The Son of Man? It doesn't say, "All except Jesus have sinned." Hypothetical Them: That's the implication. Me: *chuckling to myself at how stupid people are* Jesus [to me]: "Leave them. They are guides of the blind." [Hypothetical conversation end] Future review: You see, all you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. There are no discrepancies within the words of God; "a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand". Jesus Christ said, "Now one greater than Solomon is here," and since Solomon's "wisdom" was written in the Scriptures, so too other people's words are written in the Scriptures, but Jesus Christ's words are greater than all those other people's writings, even if they contain wisdom, that did not come from God but from men inspired by God. We have the words of God, of Jesus Christ, throughout the Scriptures in Old and New Testaments in the Holy Bible, and God's words are superior to man's own paraphrasing of those words, especially when that paraphrasing is incongruous with the meaning of God's words. You are a Christian if you follow Jesus Christ -- not if you follow the "apostles" or anyone else. If you want, I can easily wield this dagger again: God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. -- Well, God, you know everything and are in control, so what am I gonna say or do? -- Me: I have learned much from God, [...] but nobody's going to pay me for that. Them: Not so; people really want to know God. SO LET THEM LISTEN TO HIM! IF THAT WERE TRUE, WHY ARE THEY NOT LISTENING TO HIM? HOW CAN THAT BE TRUE IF NO ONE LISTENS TO HIM? WHY WON'T THEY LISTEN TO HIM? FALSE! FALSE! WRONG! STOP TALKING! LIES! DECEPTION! NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW GOD UNLESS THEY LISTEN TO JESUS CHRIST! -- Knowledge is a one-way street. How badly do you want to know the truth? But read how Jesus introduced "the parable of the sower". -- Compare this: Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to me." (Matthew 28:18). "Have I not stored up all these things, sealed them up within my vaults? It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip. Their day of disaster draws near, and all the [judgment] to come upon them is swiftly rushing towards them." (Deuteronomy 32:34-35). To this: Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him, because there is no authority except by God, and those existing have been instituted by God. Therefore, the one who rebels against the authority has resisted the ordinance of God, and those having resisted will bring judgment upon themselves. Because rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval. Because he is God's servant to you for your good. But if you do evil, be afraid, because he does not bear the sword in vain, because he is God's servant, an avenger for wrath to the one doing evil. Therefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of the conscience. (Romans 13:1-3). Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but instead leave room for God's wrath, because it has been written, "'Vengeance is mine; I will repay,' says The Lord." (Romans 12:19). Testify to me which is better, and in whom you put your faith: Jesus Christ, or "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be [an apostle / a student]" (Romans 1:1). Do you remember reading that Jesus Christ said, "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, because everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."? (John 15:15). So if "Saul" or "Paul" introduces himself as one who God explained does not know God's business but is called to learn from God through Jesus Christ the only way to God, why would you put more faith in him by listening to what he said and studying his words rather than listening to Jesus Christ and studying Jesus Christ's (God's) words? Blind guides! Wandering sheep! Who is your shepherd? What is eternal life? "Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why then do we break faith with one another so as to profane the covenant of our ancestors?" (Malachi 2:10). -- A note for the man who spoke to me today saying that God does not forgive the interpersonal sins others have not forgiven. "If you forgive your brother when he sins against you, your Heavenly Father will forgive your sins. But if you do not forgive your brother [from your heart], your Heavenly Father will not forgive your sins." See the parable of the unmerciful servant. (See Matthew 18:21 and Matthew 6:14-15.) Also: "'I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.' He said this because they were saying, 'He has an evil spirit.'" (Mark 3:28-30). "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies [as a footstool] under your feet.'" (Mark 12:36). Therefore, forgive everyone who sinned against you, and accept Jesus Christ's forgiveness of them -- because he will surely take vengeance on his enemies, and: "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess [to me (Jesus Christ)]." "Be still and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." (That's Jesus, God's son.) God alone is good, and Jesus Christ is The Lord Righteousness (purity to God). Will man fight God? *insert extended laugh here* Man will die if he does not love God. "If anyone loves me, they will obey my commands; my Father will love him, and we will come and make our home with[in] him. If anyone does not love me, they will not obey my commands. These words do not [originate from] me, but belong to [my Father who sent me]." "If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." "Do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself." So... obey The Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and will. And love your neighbor as if they were you. "Do this and you will live." Some want to appear as if they love God, but they hate his words -- they hate his living word -- they hate Jesus Christ, and thus they hate God his Father. It is as Jesus explained. Surely The Judge will have plenty to say on The Day of Judgment. Therefore -- yep, you guessed it -- listen to Jesus Christ. "Have I not stored up all these things in my vaults? It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time [...]" -- I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the egocentric myopic perverted choice freaks. Be glad you did not witness my last conversation today. In my viewpoint, DNA proves a child in the womb is not the mother. If it is 50% mother and 50% father, why does only the mother have a say in whether or not that different person with different DNA lives? Because the societies prey upon the weak -- the women. In every matter, it's OK to kill the males, but not the females. Consider deer hunting for example, or war. Is this not an extremely matriarchal sexist civilization, that can't get enough of "women's rights" beyond the constraints of sanity and decency? What no one seems to comprehend is the extermination agenda... they buy the rope used to hang them, yes, so free in their madness! The people know absolutely nothing. Go talk with police officers. They'll be all too willing to cite events so wicked you vomit from thinking about it. Mutilating children's bodies, child sex trafficking rings among politicians and public figures, burning little kids alive, feeding them to pet dogs, rubbing their backs against sandpaper walls until they are all bloody, keeping them in cages like animals... but hey, it's all about choice and my feelings. Does this human civilization not end in calamity? I could show you things that would make you faint or burn with the desire to start killing people... a lot of people. The apathy of this people enrages me; you have no concept of what really goes on behind closed doors, the things nobody is even willing to talk about. Knowledge and broadcasting of reality would overturn this entire nation. But how badly does anyone actually want to know the truth? "Have I not stored up all these things in my vaults? It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time [...]" (Deuteronomy 32:33-35). They have no idea what's coming for them. "But even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I come from and where I am going. You do not know where I come from or where I am going. [...]" -- Jesus Christ -- I agree with the pro-life organizations. There should be a few reasonable restrictions on the taxpayer-funded institutional mass murder of American children. Or maybe it is time to stop paying taxes. Gee, I wonder if I could get away with doing the right thing in not paying taxes. I guess doing the right thing would get me thrown into prison in this one nation under God. But I guess these and other matters nobody really cares about. Oh, wait, you want to justify yourself by telling me you care about the ritual sacrifice of America's progeny and spilling of innocent blood? Do show. Do show. Who knows? Maybe I'll give you a nice few handclaps. That should make everything better. Oh, are you one of those few people who actually wants the problem to go away? Naw, can't have that! What would we all bitch about then? Everyone finds this great evil very entertaining, see? They even make dead baby jokes about it to spread among their children. See, even the kids who survived abortions laugh about the ones who did not survive the abortions! It's all a big laugh, for shits and giggles! I mean, who would even care if I killed them? See this gun? No of course you don't. See, what if I aimed this loaded gun at people's heads and wound up -- by happenstance, of course -- pulling the trigger and ejecting a bullet into their head? See, it's all laughs! What does anyone care about whether anyone lives or dies, right? What a greatly advanced social civilization -- not a care in the world! Hell, what if I did to a grown adult what grown adults do to the innocent and weak and helpless children? Surely nobody would care enough to bitch about that and surely I would not find myself killed or arrested and imprisoned for manslaughter. Nah, that stuff is only fairytales told by hypocrites! See, potential doesn't exist, just like the air pressure behind a bullet doesn't exist with enough force to propel it out the barrel of a gun. Potential is mere make-believe, whether it is human potential or physics potential. It's all a lie! Do whatever you want, hahaha! See, I'm laughing, it's fun to kill gullible idiots! Hahahaah!~ -- The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. False scales are an abomination to The Lord, but an honest weight, his delight. (Proverbs 11:1). If a man does not care about God's words, that man will die. This is proven by Adam and Eve. If a dead man repents of evil and accepts Life (Jesus Christ), then he fulfills what Jesus Christ explained: "Whoever believes will live and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." Death is absence of Life (Jesus Christ). "Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead." Physical death is sleep (rest). "The child is not dead, but asleep." "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up." Spiritual sleep is unawareness. "When he comes, do not let him find you sleeping." "But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat [and went away]." I am so tired of writing, of restating some of what God has taught me. Why don't you people just listen to Jesus Christ? Surely you all have access to his words in your native language by now. Or is your native language lies? Folly is an intellectual (and spiritual) proclamation of one's own shamefulness. If you do not want to be proven a fool to be wasted like all the other fuel for the fire, then listen to Jesus Christ. Folly is evil, and God alone is good. Can you not perceive that it is better to love God than yourself? Do you think your atheist friends will support you? They make excuses to pretend you do not exist; your friends dwell as slaves in selfishness from arrogance; they speak as narcissists to gain honor for themselves. I tell you the truth, your friends do not love you, and they all are cowards. If you want to survive, listen to The God of The Living. If you want to live, obey God's Word; listen to Jesus Christ. "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." "If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments." Of what value to a king is a lazy, worthless slave? Sure you think highly of yourself, in your enslavement to arrogance and its narcissism, but won't your folly lead to your death? Are there not enough life lessons here on God's Footstool? All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. "I do listen to Jesus Christ," you say. So then why are you speaking on your own to gain honor for yourself, rather than speaking to honor Jesus Christ who sent you as a man of truth in whom there is nothing false? Because you are not listening to Jesus Christ, and therefore understand none of what God taught thousands of years ago. Now, I can continue to share things I have learned from God. Or, you can listen to God yourself. Again I tell you all, it is as Jesus Christ explained. "Listen to him!" -- After all the things God has recently taught me which I did not write down, now I get up from bed and write this. Those who listen to Jesus Christ live, those who do not listen to Jesus Christ die. Simple. -- God's unending discipline gives infinite value to a person's life. Enemies tell me to speak on my own, to disassociate myself from God's words, because they want me to be disgraceful so they might have an excuse to argue to God that God should allow them to attack me. As those who have made themselves my enemy without reason continue to assault me, his patient Spirit reminds me of what my pure intercessor has taught me. As angels stand by me, I unsheathe my dagger and hold up my buckler. This divine weapon my enemies seek to turn against me, but the warlord has trained me for this, and fashioned these armaments to fit me. ... The enemy comes at me, its fangs threatening to pierce my feeble skin. As my guardians stand by, I swing at the beast with my dagger: and as I read the words, his guardians do as they see from God's Face and uphold and direct my blade to the weak spot on the enemy. The beast retreats back to avoid the piercing wound. The dagger gleams with the light of the warlord as it is retracted and sheathed. And the warlord puts down his hand as an unbreakable wall surrounding me in safety and loving kindness. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. "Because you trust in me, I will save you from the fire." : "But I will deliver you on that day," declares The Lord, "and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men who you fear. For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war," declares The Lord. (Jeremiah 39:17-18). To The Lord's enemies who are being tested by me, God is using me in kindness, so I only show the dagger as a motivation for those who have slipped away from him. But it is not their armament; their hearts did not suit it. Is your heart worth keeping for eternity, or have you accepted adultery and corrupt perversion, and have no room to listen to these or God's words? Surely it is obvious to me, because God leads discernment for me; I see and I know God, and the filthy stench of the reeking corpses of walking dead are repulsive to make me turn away, vomit, and shudder with revulsion. But if God would bless a zombie with his breath, the zombie would have a well-spring of clean water in it that would transform it from the inside-out into a healthy human. Jesus Christ is the narrow path, the small gate that leads to eternal life, and only a few find him. God said, "Listen to him!" But are you willing to believe The Absolute Truth? God knows your heart and whether you belong to God. He is The Creator, and his son is the gardener who scattered his seed, so of course he knows what kind of plant you are. Question is, will you live or die? The fools have an answer: you live and then die. But God has explained reality: he gives life [to those who lack it] as he is pleased to give it; and whoever believes in him will live and can no longer die, because he has crossed over from death to life. "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some among you who do not believe, which is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them." But understanding does not enter the depraved mind, love does not enter the hard heart, perception does not enter the blind eye, and no secret is whispered into the deaf ear. Does this confuse you? Do you think my words are incoherent or wrong or make no sense? God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. But because you have understood nothing, continue to assert your understanding; because you have no logical and rational and reasonable argument, continue to accuse me, Satan. "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But now that you claim to see, your guilt remains." [...] -- Truth is the pure canvas on which God paints for a child an accurate picture of reality. -- The truth has been told many times, but most have not heard it from one to whom they are willing to listen -- from one they trust, from one who they are willing to believe. They do not think, and if they think, they do not know, because they have not been been drawn to The God of Truth... if they have been drawn to him by His Hand, then they would be capable of comprehension, and on the path of Justice. So what is hope but a flavor of ignorance? Hope is desire without understanding, because it has in mind the interests of men rather than the interests of God who is in control. If I ask in Jesus Christ's name, then I have received. What hope is there then? I have already received. It's done, it's over. I might not perceive, but I have the promise, "It will be yours". So it is no longer hope but understanding in faith. It's real, resolved, actual, not prospective or hypothetical. Do I yearn for water when I've been drinking a full gallon jug of clean water? I already have it, why ask someone -- bothering them -- for something they already gave you? Isn't that rude and disrespectful of their words and actions? So do not bother with hope. "Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." God has no trouble keeping accurate records or remembering exactly what you were thinking a lifetime ago. And "he knows what you need before you ask for it". A barking dog is tragic -- fear is tragic, because it is a stumbling block. But even more tragic is a creature who does not fear The Creator, because such collapses over every stumbling block nearby them. And how does one know God? By listening to (and thus believing in) Jesus Christ, God's Son. -- The secret service agents told me that if I wanted to speak to President Donald Trump, I would be "interviewed". Like Roman Pontius "interviewed" Jesus Christ before nailing him to a cross. Like Roman Nero "interviewed" God's students before running them through with a sword. Is Truth really so evil that one should be killed for wanting to speak it? Why tell the truth to a fool? A fool is an evil-doer who would never accept the goodness of God. And that is why God destroys them. That is why The All-Knowing destroys fools... and cowards, etc. They do not produce good fruit, nor do they accept good fruit; They hate God, they hate God's Son, and they hate me, Exactly as God and God's Son explained throughout history. They interrogate to steal knowledge, They kill the messenger of truth to kill the truth, And they try to use that knowledge for evil to destroy all Creation. They call it "government" (falsely) and pacification, but am I calling out in the streets? Have I caused an uproar, a public disturbance? Is it not their own evil that deserves retribution against their own evil? "An outcry, a disturbance, a man telling the truth -- a fire we must stomp out, lest it undo us or burn us from within." Can't they see I am The Last before shit hits the fan? Of course not; because comprehension is a roadblock, a stumbling block to their exalted madness. An offer of comprehension threatens to humble the self-exalted fool. And that is a threat to evil folly which "must not be tolerated", they say. The fool does not even care about condemning himself with his own words -- after all, if he is a fool, his words mean nothing towards his own condemnation -- at least so he foolishly thinks. But God knows and has explained to his own children. God is in control and protects his own children. God is merciful and perpetually refines his own children. God alone is worth listening to -- God and Jesus Christ alone is worth listening to. It is as Jesus Christ explained. So these mortal morons are thieves who come to steal, kill, and destroy. God will turn their deeds onto their own heads and kill and destroy them. They hate God, so God will destroy them. God who holds in his hand their lives and all their paths Will judge and condemn them, cast them away into eternal torture. Whatever they did or tried to do to me will seem like a brief, forgettable moment of their disgrace, A seed of their doom, Compared to the ever-growing tree of their eternal ruin. I might as well simply laugh. Why not? "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven, because in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." What do I care what those morons think? I'm laughing. And "that's none of your God-damned business"... oh wait, actually it is. Very much so. But you'll never understand how or why. I'm just laughing. And you are going to die. -- God does not gain power from believers. God gives well-being to those who listen to him -- to those who believe in his son, Jesus Christ. "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright?" "Why should you die? Shouldn't you repent and live?" So repent of all your evil sins against God and against man, and receive well-being (life) from The Son of The God of The Living who is Life Himself. Receive The Lamb. Receive Life. Receive Truth. Receive Jesus Christ. Accept God's Mercy freely available as given by God to everyone. Believe in Jesus Christ. The Master Intercessor is willing to handle everything for you. Listen to Jesus Christ. Learn for yourself and realize for yourself that God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Learn from God who knows everything. "They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to The Father and learns from him comes to me; and whoever comes to me [as such] I will never turn away, because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me: and this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall not lose any of all that he has given to me, but raise them up during The Last Day. Because my Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life, and I will raise them up during The Last Day." -- Do not learn the ways of the mockers who scoff at, and seek to destroy, what God created. Learn the ways of God, who created, raises the dead, and gives eternal life -- "Just as The Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also he has granted The Son to have life in himself and give life to whomever he is pleased to give it." "Do not judge, do not condemn, forgive. Give, and it will be given to you [...] with the measure you use [...]" -- What is the purpose of praying, as asking for God to save someone, if it is not possible for that person to believe because God has not allowed them to believe the truth? "With man this is impossible, but not with God: with God all things are possible." "What is impossible for man is possible for God." What is impossible for mortal man to accomplish is possible for the only true God to accomplish... for that mortal man as intercessor on his behalf. So you see, even though what a person cannot do is vast, God is much more vast than all potential; "[...] My Father, who is greater than all, has given them to me. No one can remove them from my Heavenly Father's hand. The Father and I are one." Since blaspheming Jesus Christ is blaspheming God, why does Jesus Christ explain that "whoever speaks a word against The Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes The Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, [both] in this age and the next."? Because "The Son of Man [("Jesus" means God Saves)] did not come to condemn the world, but to save it through himself." And he explained the rest of it, that God commanded him, and gave him authority, to lay down his life and take it up again. And so on, that the world must learn that he loves The Father and does everything His Father commands. So the arguments and doubts of Satan, The Accuser, are countered: "Did God really tell you [...]?" -- Satan "Follow me; I am God's Son; I know my Father and my Father knows me, and I know you and you know me; learn that I obey everything my Father commanded of me; learn from me and I will give you rest; I give you my peace, and I do not give to you as the world gives -- do not let your heart(s) be troubled, and do not be afraid; I am the way to God, which only a few find, and no one can come to The Father except through me; come and learn from me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest, because I am gentle and humble in heart and my guidance is easy and my workload is light." -- Jesus Christ -- There is a certain intelligence level required to fear God. But God can make anything fear him. God knows everything. God gives knowledge -- God teaches. God only tells the absolute truth. What are you waiting for? Your life is wasting away! Listen to Jesus Christ already! But God doesn't allow me to... But I can't... But I don't have... ...no buts; do it now! -- You are going to lose your body, for now. Wouldn't it be best to lose it serving God? And this excuse they will use to take it from you, pretending to serve God by doing so. I have a gun, ammo, and faith in God, for what it is worth. They cannot take one of those things away from me, not even over my dead body. A message to my enemies: I do not need to defend myself in this matter, and the God I serve saves and will rescue me from your hand. But even if he does not, I want you to know that I will not bow down and worship your false idols that you have built for yourselves, nor will I submit to enslavement to your evil "new world order". Sincerely, Robert Walliczek -- He who tries to control shirks his duty of believing in Jesus Christ. -- The enemy attacks to provoke evil from the innocent; my enemy cannot touch me, but like Satan accuses the innocent to God, so my enemy wants to make me disobey God by doing evil so that God might give me over to destruction and death; but my intercessor has called me innocent because he has redeemed my life -- my God, The Creator, has rescued me from all harm and all danger for the sake of his name (Jesus / God Saves) who is also his Righteousness. He protects me from harm and from evil; his rod and his staff comfort me; his mercy endures forever; Immanuel always, forever, even until the very end of the age of mankind. The greatest a human can be is as a child listening to Jesus Christ to learn from, understand, know, and love God and Jesus Christ. -- Which is better: to have a nice job, or to serve God who alone is good? So keep The Sabbath Day holy. -- Jesus Christ did not lay down his life to gain praise from men, but to obey God's command to exercise the greatest possible compassion -- to exercise the greatest possible compassion, and to exercise it for the benefit of men, to permanently rescue them from death by taking upon himself all the suffering and death and divine retribution that would otherwise destroy them, and he did all this intercession while men were an intolerable burden and cursed him and hated him and dwelled in death and sin and guilt and darkness as slaves of every evil. So God rescued humanity while humanity made themselves God's enemy without reason, and God's reason for rescuing undeserving humanity from doom was because of God's great love -- by giving up his only beloved son as the sacrificial Lamb of God, God took away the sins of the world and gave his Pure Mercy over to be persecuted and killed by the deceived, doomed humans. God's Pure Mercy overcame the world, all suffering, all condemnation, and death, and then got back up from the grave, continued his work, then eventually physically returned up into Heaven. And now, condemned to death by men and judged as innocent by God, God's Pure Mercy is at God's side in Heaven. And God will place his enemies like a footstool underneath his feet. ... Perhaps it is time to stop looking for righteousness on God's footstool. It is time to look for righteousness ["where you can see me no longer"] with God who alone is good. I want goodness, I want righteousness... ... I starve for righteousness throughout my lifetime. I know where to find him and God. He is in Heaven. -- An angel of questionable nature greeted me. He said, "How are you?" I looked down and to the side and gave him a glancing look and quietly said, "Well, Jesus is still reigning in Heaven, so I guess it doesn't matter." -- https://banned.video/watch?id=5e616a9924092d009eb5c90d Millie, I'm surprised you even stood there that long. They all use the same playbook, because it's the same evils coming from them: 1) It's all about me. [arrogance + folly] 2) I can do whatever I want. [arrogance + folly] 3) Thinking is an insult to my omniscience. [arrogance + folly] 4) I am your superior in every way and have no time for you. [arrogance + folly] 5) You must do everything you can to try to make me feel good about myself so that my arrogance and folly remain unchallenged. [arrogance + folly] You can smell the gross stench of these people from a mile away. This is all you have to say to these people: "You will die. Fear God." Easy 5 words. Try it some time. You see, kindness and decency does not work on these devils. They will roll around in their own shit thinking they are seducing you with it and then when they see they were mistaken, will fling a whole bunch of it at you all at once. It's mindless slavery to their own evil. "Leave them." -- Jesus Christ -- In how many ways did Jesus Christ suffer greatly and was Jesus Christ rejected by this generation? -- Tell a person to repent of evil and he will hate you. Behold the slaves of arrogance. The unworthy hate holiness; say something from God that effectively makes a person want to repent, and the unworthy, God's enemies, will raise alarm, because God did not allow the demons to prepare the hardness of hearts of their slaves, so they "remove" the attack on evil. When will people stop playing games? If I post a comment on a web site, and someone deletes it because it is of God and the person hates God, what transpired? Did they "undo" history? Or did they gain condemnation from God? Do you think that God does not know or remember anything? Has the record of history been changed? When God judges, will he say to me, "You never did that, look, what you say you did is not there!" Nothing can be revoked or undone. Jesus did not forget or undo evils and sin. If God does not want something to happen, God does not allow that something to happen. If I bleed and then my bleeding stops and I am healed, I have lost blood. Where did my blood go? How is it missing -- look, I am not bleeding, so how is it that I am missing blood? Where is the blood? The fact would be that I was bleeding, and then Jesus healed me to be better than had I not bled. Do you think that God does not keep track or remember history accurately? "Oh, but Genesis, and the bible, is not a book of science! It can't be trusted! It's old, so it's wrong, it's all fairy tales -- haha, what, do you believe in santy claus, the tooth fairy, and 'god'?" Every knee will bow and every tongue confess. "Have I not stored up all these things in my vaults? It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip, their day of disaster draws near." By all means, feel free to try to control and dominate, you slaves of arrogance and folly. Show "us" how it is done. This is what you will receive from my hand: you will lie down in torment. You will die. Fear God. If a boulder appears in the sky over a man's head and he refuses to look up, will it crush him? If a man is told to repent of evil because the man will die and be judged by God, but the man refuses to repent, will he still die and be judged by God? Behold how fools have no accurate concept of reality. Oh but they are all about themselves; yes because he who is enslaved to arrogance is also enslaved to folly, and he who is enslaved to folly is also enslaved to arrogance, but a slave has no permanent place in the family yet a son does and so if the son sets someone free then that person really is free. Whoever the son sets free is a permanent family member and cannot die or be enslaved anymore because the free man has crossed over from death to life by believing in Jesus Christ. Am I your enemy then by saying The Kingdom of Heaven is near so repent of evil and believe the good news? That is what Jesus Christ said. So am I your enemy by saying listen to Jesus Christ? Are you still deceived into thinking that evil is good and good is evil and you are 'god'? "Will I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?" You are naked and it is about to rain, sleet, and hail. You are starving and parched and are about to collapse. Stop stalling, stop making excuses -- you are not helping anyone, and those thoughts do not come from God who said, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice; righteousness, not burnt offerings." "Why should you die? Shouldn't you rather repent and live?" -- The three branches of US government are based upon Psalm 82:3-4. -- Jesus is The Lord Righteousness and God alone is good; what do I care about your opinion? -- If you do not make time for God now, then you will have an eternity to regret it. -- Who cares? Who can do anything about it? Who would bother? I'll leave that to your own memory. -- "The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him." Judas served his purpose. Jesus tolerated his presence. It is as Jesus explained. "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Those who do not belong to God do not deserve to know God or perceive the greatness of his majesty. "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me." "The banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come." God is the only true ruler, and therefore Jesus Christ is the only true ruler God appointed. Only those who belong to God can understand the logic of this, because it is as Jesus Christ explained: The Father is in The Son and The Son is in The Father. "I have said that you are gods; you are all sons of The Most High [God]. But you will die like mere [mortals/men]; you will fall like every other ruler." Every *other* ruler. Did God fall? Did Jesus Christ fall? Isn't his kingdom forever because he went on a journey and was made king, later to return home and receive from his invested servant subjects what they have gained with his property? Doesn't he have all authority and isn't he greater than all? No one else has authority; there is no other name; his is everything and his treasure he will set aside for himself -- the wheat he planted as a seed to return to him by his pleasure -- and the rest that he does not want gets burned. What God does not want gets burned. What God wants is kept safe and given infinite time to thrive and grow in God's infinite power and majesty and love. Me? I am hidden from you. What I have shared here are mere thin threads evident of clothing, bread crumbs evident of a banquet. My clothing and food will feed and clothe me forever. My future is great because of God. And my enemies I will no longer suffer. He gives me eyes to see so I may observe and love his glory and see through his enemies -- my enemies. "I know you, that you do not have the love of God in your hearts." He gives me ears to hear so I may learn from him -- so he proceeds to teach me. God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. The rest are cowards and vile filth; it would be good for those humans to listen to Jesus Christ. Do my words offend you? It is not praise or value from me that you should seek, but praise and value from God that you should seek. What is your life to me? Should I care? Can I do anything about it? Would I bother? Man's Teacher is The Son of Man. Man's Father is God. The children who rebel get punished. The children who belong to God, God favors, and those children who listen gain discipline. The children who do not listen are rebelling and get punished. Is this unfair, unjust, unkind, unrighteous? Is such not that you call evil good and good evil to exalt yourself by accusing God? Didn't The Son of Man have to suffer much and be rejected by this generation and then enter his glory? All this is God's exercising Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things he delights. The people walk in darkness and embrace scum. Evil will not last forever. Love God who alone is good; hate evil. Reject the wrong and choose the right. What is good? God alone is good. What is right? Jesus Christ is The Lord Righteousness. Simple. -- What I have lost I will find in Heaven. It is mine to avenge. I will repay. In due time Their foot will slip. Their day of disaster draws near. Their doom rushes in upon them. Dear God, repay them for all the innocent blood they shed. Repay. Merciful Almighty, Do as you promised: Repay by your terrifying vengeance. Bring them down low, Crush them underfoot, Rescue what you want, And burn the rest. Dear God, Repay! Cut them to shreds. Hack them into pieces. Let their own hypocrisy destroy them. Judge them by their own words and actions. Merciful Magnificence, You promise to repay. So then it pleases you to repay. Please, repay. Rescue, Savior, those you want. Burn the rest with infinite fire. In due time, Omniscient Lord, my God, my only love, You will repay, Exactly as you say. They shed my blood. So you will shed their blood. God, you created me in your image as a man; you created them male and female. These fools know nothing; they reject and hate you. All is obvious to you. Mine is like wasted breath; without you, my delight, I can only compound my shame. So show them their shame. Repay. As you have said so will it be. It is as you have explained. Your patient guidance is more grandeur than they deserve; they did not deserve your banquet. You invited them but they refused to come. All this for your purpose. Without repentance next comes death, because you limit their eternal torment for the sake of Jesus Christ. Your mercy... repay them for their evil. You will repay. Everyone wants my blood. Police have pistols to shed it. Nurses have needles to shed it. And criminals carve their pound of flesh with a knife. All of society is my enemy. Because they rejected your blood, Savior of the World. They should have eaten your flesh and drank your blood. Until they do, they are zombies. They laugh at my words so as to mock me in their enslavement to folly. They squint with concerned effort trying to perceive, trying to understand. But you have given them over to depravity, decay, the slide down to death. Jesus Christ, you asked God to forgive them because they did not know what they were doing. Didn't God forsake you and not listen at that time in your intercession? Jesus Christ, your enemies are no more. You destroyed them. They are gone. But now I see them all around me. Tomorrow they will vanish. After your enemies have hemmed me in and attacked, The mockers say all bets are off, But I bet on you, Salvation. Although I am silent, It is enough that you know. (Let these fools prove themselves to each other.) Your infinite knowledge is sufficient for me. Because you love me, you gave me some knowledge. You have been kind to me. You have taken care of me. Silence precedes vengeance. Because they hate you -- and the depths of their souls you plainly see -- you will end them. It will be swift justice -- but not what they think. You will bring death, they will face terror, then you will throw them away, Almighty. God, they will never understand unless you allow them to understand; I have given up on them all. I will do what they say for a time, then they will die. But you are the only one who matters. May your name be praised forever. For the shedding of innocent blood, God will repay. Should I try, do my best, give it my all? I have the context of knowing that God saves what he wants for eternity and the rest gets burned. So he has granted victory and can make this goal succeed as much as he wants too. We say life is on the ballot, but man cannot remove God's control, because he is The God of Life; injury and abject failure lie in wait to overtake a man by his trying to control. So this fight is not mine to win, but my greatest efforts are but a mere footnote in the annals of true justice. Even when the world is consumed by darkness, I will know where goodness and righteousness which I so desire can be found, and no fool will usurp control of the fate of any soul, but be held to light by the blade of his own words. The opposition, however cruel, only digs themselves a deeper and darker grave with every treacherous thought. But a failure here for our team is impossible; I do not let fear deceive me or threats alarm me, because in all my works throughout all my days, he sustains me and by his own arm grants me infinite victory; we will see the gnashing teeth of the stubborn and cold-hearted, but I know it is not my plan to redeem, but observe; my life will never be about what I can do. Infinite potential awaits, may the heavens vanish like smoke and earth's inhabitants die like flies as he says -- victory is already ours, and no one can change that! If we lose, we win. If we win, we win. We cannot lose despite our trying. Jesus Christ is coming back to his footstool soon. -- "Can I help you?" they accost me. Dishonest people do not say what they mean; they are controlled by fear and lack reason and faith in God. If it is knowledge they seek, they will observe. If it is control they seek, they will fail. "First help yourself by saying what you mean. Then help yourself by admitting weakness. Then help yourself by minding your own actions. Until you do this, there is no way you can help anyone else. I am glad I could help you with this; but if you ignore me, have fun with the consequences." No, if I were to crush men underfoot, if I were to destroy them, they would not honor God's wisdom in their heart. No, it is for God to humble and destroy, to raise and to lower, to fortify and tear down, to give life and bring death, to guide and reject, to bless and curse, lest men become enslaved to perverse adultery and not fear God who already destroyed all (breathing) life on the entire planet once due to humanity's evils. It is so tragic that people do not listen, is it not. -- Society cannot accept what I know. -- If you are demoralized and a victim of abuse, do not normalize the denigration of human life, but love your neighbor as if they were you, doing to them what you would want them to do to you. -- God lets you breathe. -- While waiting in line at the door outside the voting place, I looked up at the moon and said, "As sunlight reflects off the moon, so does bravery reflect off men in dark times. But how long does it last? That is the question." -- Adulthood means responsibility, especially towards posterity. -- "People are acting out of fear," they say fearfully. "This is not religion," they say to gain honor for themselves among foolish pagans. Top of the dung heap, is it? Bottom of the mass grave? First-in-class adulterer? Folly got your tongue? Slave of arrogance? Let me give you a gold star for your experience. For being nothing special. A smart on the forehead is what your forefathers gave Jesus Christ. Accept his free intercession for you. Or die and burn in Hell. You want to feel like you are in control of your own paths? Then show me how in control you are of your own paths and walk the narrow, hidden path of eternal life! "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." -- My enemies will die. God will bring death to fools; look, they are almost no more, they are almost vanished, the door has almost shut on their lives. Even now it still closes. Then they will say to God, "Forgive us, because we were fools and did not know what we were doing." God will tell them, "I warned all of you that folly is evil. I never knew you. Away from me, all you evildoers!" Then they will be thrown into torment for their treacherous evil deeds. None can escape judgment by God who is The Judge and knows every inmost thought. Traitors get twice removed: first from God's footstool, then from God's presence. There is no worse fate; it would have been better for Judas to have not been born. Woe to the traitor. Many people voted, were willing to play their part in the game. How many are willing to defend their vote and their own lives in this game where injustice is shown favoritism? "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled." Be taught by God by being filled with Jesus Christ who is God's Living Word... if you crave righteousness. The world gets worse, but The Lord Righteousness does not change. He is security, the fruits of his labor he gives freely, and he is trustworthy; "Be still and know that I am God; my Name will be glorified among the nations; my Salvation will endure for all generations; my Righteousness will never end". The worldly narratives, all lies and deception, are dissipations (distractions) away from his interests. "Be careful, or you will be weighed down by the dissipations and anxieties of life and that [last] day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap; because it will come upon all those who are on the face of Earth. Always be on the watch, and pray that you may escape all that is about to happen, and might be able to stand before The Son of Man." So many warnings, so little time. -- The Omniscient has granted me discernment to see through deception. Refusal, Argument, Rejection: God gave me a learning experience while I was in college: I observed for a while a fellow student. She spoke softly and seemed kind. One day, I saw some flowers and I asked for one. I brought her the flower. She refused it. I said, "It's just a flower." She argued, saying that it was more than a flower, it was symbolic. She then rejected me by saying in a way that she did not feel romantically attracted to me. "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. [REFUSAL.] So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, [ARGUMENT.] 'Look! All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'" Now observe the genius of immediate response the father gives. Obviously there are signs of envy. And even the "casual observer" can see there are signs of anger (pending rejection). Does God point out these flaws? He simply negates them with his genius love. Consider carefully: "'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'" -- One who commands you to ignore God's genius is trying to deceive you. Do not be fooled. Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Weakness means that the one thing a person can always succeed at is failure. There is so much to learn from God that I will not be able to write; if you want to know, listen to him. -- This is my stance on copyright: if you think it is the right idea to copy it, then copy it. -- "All that The Father gives me will come to me. And whoever comes to me I will never turn away; because I did not come down from Heaven to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me: that I shall not lose any of all he has given to me but raise them up during The Last Day." "The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life. But there are some among you who do not believe. This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless my Father draws them [and I will raise them up during The Last Day]." What does that say about evangelism? God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Let people listen to him. -- The more you have, the more you have to maintain. Greed is therefore counterproductive to time spent. Possession means asset management and distribution. "If you have not been trustworthy handling worldly wealth, then who will entrust to you true riches?" (Luke 16:11). Therefore, if anyone manages great wealth, they should definitely gain the wisdom from Jesus Christ (God's Son) regarding this. After all, Jesus Christ and God manages all of Existence. From what better teacher could a man learn than his God? Weakness is OK because God is merciful. Improve things before they become annoying or are tested by wear. (Parable of the unjust judge -- remember what justice means?) Do not act unjustly in a foreign land, lest you disgrace yourself and embarrass your nation. Have in mind God's interests so that you may keep your head above [swampy/murky] water, because God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy and God alone is good. "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." "My Father's will is that whoever looks to The Son and believes in him will [therefore] not perish but have eternal life, and I will raise [that believer] up during The Last Day." -- Jesus Christ is God's Mercy for those who do not deserve it. "Be selfish and self-serving like me." You will die, fool; fear God. YoWiDiFoFeGo. There is no substitute for God's words. I grow tired of evil filth; it gets on my clothes and I feel disgust. Blind guides! Blind fools! Repent or die! Repentance or death! They do not listen to me; they do not listen to Jesus Christ; they do not listen to Moses; they do not listen to God; they do not listen to warnings from people already burning in Hell; they do not listen, they do not listen at all; they do not listen to their parents' guidance... and now the parents have even gone astray. The entire world is engulfed in wickedness, and there is no shortage of blind guides -- false Christs. So many dead people walking. Putting them down, returning them back to Hell from whence they came, would be like obeying God. And still, those claiming to believe yet refusing to listen to God, still they would not gain any understanding. So there is almost no purpose to pulling weeds before the last day when God sends his angels to do the work instead. See, the wicked hate the death penalty because God ordained it from the beginning: "But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because then you will surely die." But what do I know? I am not God; I merely read and understand his words. Surely that gives me absolutely zero place in society -- no, my place for possessing wisdom is to be mocked by fools. Yes, this society built upon lies will end swiftly. All these fools will die; can you not see that arrogance ushers in folly which ushers in ignorance which begs God to send death? How is wisdom a secret anymore? The Gospel (hey everyone, look at this bible thumper, come point and laugh at this stooge and mock him with me) has already been preached to all nations, and there is no hiding from God. Oh sure, you can try to hide from God, but when he shows you that you have been entirely unsuccessful at doing so, well then you can go ahead and rebel against him ad nauseum and be the little, insufferable, ungrateful wastebasket that you have always been and will continue to be until you wake the fuck up and smell the burning sulfur of Hell where you will be until you get destroyed in front of everyone -- yes, even your escorts will condemn you -- and then be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Your lies, which include honoring yourself among men as blind guides, destroy you. You cannot help yourself, yet you claim to be able to help others. Sound familiar? "Let him come down from the cross now!" Do you still not understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see and ears but fail to hear? Don't you remember? Repent and live! No, see, I waste my breath and my fingers and my time. In what way do I waste my breath and my fingers and my time? In this way: fools by nature ignore wise warnings. Perversion and suicide is their way; let them walk it! Let us all see how disgraceful they are! Make it obvious to everyone, God! So that even their children can see that they are vile filth, God exposes them. Yet still they refuse to be cleaned by Jesus Christ's words. -- A log of my other Telegram messages ("me" without showing the "them") relevant to this document: - Judah You download the .iso and play it with VLC Media Player. And don't worry about Germans -- "the soul that sins is the soul that will die," which is why every soul must "listen to [Jesus Christ]"! Language and national origin do not fool The Judge. - Vikingpup Wayne Avoid such name-calling. Do you think God is blind, deaf, mute, slow, ignorant, incapable, lazy, unjust, or stupid? "But the vile, the murderers, the liars, the unbelievers [...] their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." So keep yourself from using vile words like "bitch", or thinking evil of those whose nature The Judge, who seeks glory for himself, knows very well, more than everyone else knows. "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." "The heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will endure for all generations -- my righteousness will never end." Be calm. All is in control and according to God's divine plan. - @Fumansepai The command is "Do not be angry with your brother in your heart; in your hearts, do not think evil of each other. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Love your neighbor as yourself [as if they were you]." - I can see that you are a mocker, which means you lack discernment, and that you do not believe your own intellectual suicide, which means you are a liar. I do not associate with mocking liars, but I do what Jesus Christ commanded: to leave you and disregard your words. - Because public officials ignore God. Had they accepted Psalm 82, they would not exercise evil to sow civil chaos to form an excuse to gain more "power". - No point rallying if there is no one left to rally. - Sex is an act of marriage. Masturbation is not an act of marriage. But "anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart". Lust is "a strong sexual desire". - This chat has no rules, simply expect to be recognized by your actions. - This is a new chat I started for free association. Invite some friends if you like. If I had friends... no but really, I'll keep inviting more people. - You can't insist upon sexual immorality and perversion and expect God to help you all the time regardless. - Trust is not inaction. Trust is a call to arms. Whose arms? Divine arms: God's arm. - I recommend watching some infowars broadcasts at infowars.com. Anger is easy to kindle in a small mind. God stores up every sin in his vault to bring to the sight of everyone on the day of judgment. You cannot hide. You can repent and accept forgiveness in Jesus Christ's name. Alex Jones and friends may bring forth the crimes of men, but there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. - And where is justice? - Honestly, how does the knowledge that you are in a prison cell get you out of that prison cell? - Either they are deaf, or your voice is not loud enough, or both. They say that action speaks louder than words. I wonder if that is true? Why don't you go and find out, then get back to me with the results, if you are at that time so inclined to do so. :innocent: - I don't need a slave mask -- I'm a free man. - I bought an EMF meter and discovered that the microwave oven microwaves the whole house. Not cool. - The first thing we were told in driver's education in high school is that a vehicle is not a weapon. - Maybe God was confused and thought he said "police" instead of "please". I mean, maybe God mis-heard him, or misunderstood or was hard of hearing or something. I mean, that's the excuse people make to excuse evildoers: "Maybe they just don't know God," "maybe they just misunderstand." "When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen." -- God - snake oil is that effective, eh? what great news! excellent efforts by the snake oil salesmen in office! if you take poison, you get sick and/or die. there is no getting through to a doomed population. - not possible to bring anyone to christ. christ explained as much many times. evangelism means only telling the truth, and being on the side of truth. God holds all control. - They would simply use fake needles like many other vaccination propaganda big pharma industry advertisements where a politician pretends to take the autism-causing, brain/nervous system damaging injections. - Tim Cook is a traitor to our nation. Ignore him. Do not side with him. Apple is about to become sauce. Wait for it. Nice work on telegram. People irrationally banned off big tech platforms come here. If Telegram falls, the people will make yet another to replace it. Do not fall like our oppressors are about to fall. - It was the public's move. Trump moves in office, we move behind the scenes and on the streets. (Later note: Unbeknownst to the unaware, Donald John Trump is a Jewish Satanist and a child rapist and a freemason / worshiper of "Lucifer".) - where are these officials so i can smack them with truth, and these sources so i can blow them out of the water? oh right, it is the fake news with lying. so official. so official. not. "Twitter does not accept this information. Someone smack me in the face repeatedly so I can wake up from this political nightmare where I am unpopular and no one likes me because I banned everyone." too lengthy for a notice :thinking: How about, "Official sources hate Americans because they suck. Therefore, Twitter has banned all accounts belonging to free-thinking independent Americans because those slaves have rejected our demonic -- I mean democratic -- authority invested in us by satan -- sorry, I mean our pedophile ring masters -- I mean, the official democrat party news media." nope, still too long - this is called controlled opposition. the dust masks are our only hope now, otherwise we get stay at home orders and starve. same logic. but the truth sets people free. not that potus is on the side of truth at this point by trying to control the lies. - that narrative is controlled opposition but tell me: what has God taught you lately about these things? he has been preparing me for many years, and helping me along the way. can you say the same for yourself? because the wisdom of men is folly in his sight, while great wisdom from him he hides from them. so check yourself. - There is not already blood in the streets? There is not already martial law? What would we do without your warnings! God forbid this lasting peace be stripped from us by speaking our minds! - As part of my work I discovered several problems not mentioned publicly. Perhaps dead voters has something to do with voter mailing addresses being graveyards? - If you are not a slave, then do not wear a slave mask. If you are not a prisoner, then do not participate in prison lockdown. If you are not deathly ill, then do not be quarantined. Somehow, the entire world is supposed to lose everything by playing along with a grand criminal deception with a healthcare theme. Madmen. - here is an idea for a federal program: if you deliberately break federal law by committing voter fraud you go to jail; what happened to the IQ levels in this country, seriously, can you say martial law police state yet? -- A log of my other Galaxy Verge Telegram (https://t.me/galaxyverge started July 26, 2019) messages related to this document: - Them: It is better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Me (now): I am never alone. The Mighty One lives with me forever. He gave me life and he will bring death; no one can remove me from his hand. - Them: over the last few days I've noticed alot of good activists leave the movement down to infighting. Me myself also got sucked into it and I now in decision to walk myself I still support Tommy and always will I started this a few years ago driven by passion for my fellow Patriots and to help fight knife crime after losing two of my close friends to it. I hope all this infighting stops this is the time for unity more then ever if we cant stand together now they theres no point in fighting because together we are stronger I hope you all see the bigger picture and put all your differences aside to focus on the bigger issues not saying you gotta like eachother.

It won't work. - "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when The Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:2-8). - "All men will hate you because of me, but whoever stands firmly to the end will be kept safe." That means all men will hate God, and then God will end the universe and call all people back to life to kneel and confess before Jesus Christ's throne. And so on, as explained. - The countries are picking their noses with dirty hands. The USA contacts them and says, "Here, have a tissue." The countries say, "No thanks, but keep sending that medical aid money for our sinus infections." - Don't you see that the UK government is using your taxes to bribe judges to persecute people like Tommy Robinson and to buy terrorists AK-47's like those who approached Tommy Robinson's house? - What should a person do when their own government turns on them?

(Ezekiel 14:23). - Mr. President: The Illuminati are trying to bring about World War III as Christianity vs. Islam, as described here under the section "three world wars": http://www.declarepeace.org.uk/captain/murder_inc/summary.html This is some of what God has said regarding death as punishment: "You have profaned me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people, who listen to lies, you have killed those who should not have died and have spared those who should not live." (Ezekiel 13:19). "Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? [...] Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone. Repent and live!" (Ezekiel 18:23,30-32). "See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand." (Deuteronomy 32:39). So he said, "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," that they would no longer sin, but repent and live. (Matthew 5:44). If we trust God's words, he will be victorious through us. - Mr. President: Thank you for entertaining my correspondence. Now as the warnings by the church go unheeded as the eugenicists through abortion clinics, division, and the perversion of atheistic humanism, with full government assistance hand over The USA to invaders, it is only fair that I paste to you what I now wrote at the end of my uni.galaxyverge.com text file: The Lord compelled me to proclaim The Good News and to preach. But I refused. The Holy Spirit asked me, "Why won't you speak in my name?" I said out loud, without anyone or anything to hear me, "Because when I spoke to men, they did not care, they did not listen, they did not want to know -- they chose ignorance instead of discipline. So I will not speak to people anymore." Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails. Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from The Lord that a man gets justice. If I want real justice in The USA, I will seek it from God. But God's mercy can be gentle or harsh. "I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion." So if he wants, he will mercifully discipline with punishment by handing us over to the consequences of our perversion: death and the loss of our country. We did not believe in God and we did not believe in babies, so we do not deserve to live, and our generation does not deserve to survive. "O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." - Do you want to know the real problem with social media? That there are 3,980 comments on this video, about 12,000 likes, about 648 dislikes, and 305,039 views, and so any "expert voices" would become drowned among all the comments, so people would rather not share their "opinion". But there is only so much a person can read before they have to stop reading or write. Buffer overflow. - Islam / Muslim is a parasitic cancer that feeds off its host, western civilization, until the host is killed, and then the parasitic cancer also dies. This is what we see with Europe and Great Britain and in parts of the USA. - And if they had blown up the royal wedding, what then? Would the mental health card still be played? Would 'the experts' -- more like the foolish cowards -- know what hit them? Would they still try to win spiritual warfare with mental tools? What starts as spiritual warfare becomes psychological warfare and physical warfare when cowards reject God. - What shall I say? A man has ten fingers and ten toes. Yet if for every thousand crimes he commits, he loses one, there would be no one left able to pick up all the appendages! So then shall I not speak? Shall I not write what is true and good and wise? Shall I ignore the ignorant, detest the detestable, reject those who reject, deny the deniers, abhor the abhorrent, and leave the dishonorable alone? Shall I be ignored and should eyes roll at my presence and my mouth? They will all die and rot and decay into dust. They will be accused by their own lips and condemned by their own hands. Look around! There will be no one left to discipline them. They who hated wisdom will see only their own misery; they who rejected goodness will perish in evil; they who hated The God of Life will see Death and be consumed, to burn and burn and burn evermore forever in unceasing torment. Where then are their taunts? Where then are their accolades? Where then is there feeble reason? Where then is there stubborn unwillingness to accept the truth? Where then are their arrogant, foolish, adulterous praises, their idiot degrees and their ridiculous PhD's founded upon lies and wickedness? The Lord will condemn them -- they will be stripped bare naked of all their fake honors, and held accountable even for every careless word they have spoken. - If political opinion were irrelevant, she would not have been banned. - Getting banned from Facebook is a rite of passage to Telegram. - Because Jesus Christ / God saying not to be angry with your brother in your heart is totally not what should be taught in schools. [this was sarcasm] - You can't fight with words. "I will fight against them with the sword of my mouth," said The Lord. Let him do the fighting. Like I mentioned, https://uni.galaxyverge.com is a static document; it's finished. I have nothing else to communicate -- there is no point. Let them think on their own. - Do Democrats ever say, "I love this country"? Donald Trump says it all the time, but it seems Hillary Clinton only parrots him: [...] [You see, frauds exercise mockery and practice deception. God has given them over to destruction. They cause me to shudder and vomit in revulsion of them.] - There is only one problem in the world: arrogance. - Fake news was a thing to me before it was a thing: http://www.macgamingmods.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18013 Someone asked me in person one time if I wrote something they read by me in a local newspaper. I responded with, "I don't know. Maybe basically." I guess copy/pasting is too much effort for journalists. - Evil does not stop on its own. It must be destroyed. "Not by force or by might, but by My Spirit," declares The Sovereign Lord. - "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing more. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to throw both the soul and the body into Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. [...] Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. Even every hair on your head is numbered."

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!"

Well, I guess it is coming time for many people to "meet their maker" as they blindly say. So what then? Fewer people on Earth? What else is new? Yes, the pointlessness is an excuse to run from one war to the next war, repeating this methodology without a moment taken to actually learn anything. So... I am not important then, so then who is important? "No one," the severely deluded say. So they sin until God brings death to them to mercifully limit the severity of their eternal punishment. See? All my words and works and efforts amounted to nothing of any value. Just listen to Jesus Christ.] - I see among social media many users who complain. And they complain about people who complain. So what is the correct way to complain? What has complaining accomplished? Do you hope to complain so much that the hot air from your mouths or the fervent typing onto your electronic devices collectively pushes the pen of an elected couch potato? I'm not sure how this is going to stop a gang of thugs intent on stealing your children and raping and torturing them for years before butchering them and feeding their body parts to you in your local markets. But you go ahead and keep on tip-tap-ing on those electronic devices and keep making all that loud noise. Who knows? You might even deter a few seagulls after all. It is God's words that matter. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." - There is one thing that makes no sense, three things that are a waste of effort: explaining oneself to God, not listening to Jesus Christ, and evaluating whether what God does is best. When I loved them, they hated me. If I hate them, will they love me? When I helped them, they hurt me. If I harm them, will they help me? When I strengthened them, they attacked me. If I murder them, will they accept me? They do not know right from wrong, they are like feeble grass that dies when trampled. They fear the helper and welcome their enemy. They attack the innocent out of envy and spite, but defend the one who is plotting to betray them. They are thieves and liars, never realizing, never learning, always whining, always arguing, perpetually enslaved to their arrogant egos, walking blindly in treacherous and miserable ignorance, loving themselves but never putting others first, always hating and ready to retaliate yet never willing to forgive and love, yet I cannot help them out of their plight. I say and they reject. I offer and they ignore. I explain and they attack me. They are unfit to live; should God not be concerned about them? Should I stop praying for them to be saved by God's Salvation? Should I not ask God to teach them? Should I not love my enemies and pray for those who persecute me and do good to those who hate me? If I wanted them dead, a mere thought would end them. But that is not God's Will, and I would face Judgment from The Mighty One. I would shame myself and anger my Father. Therefore, I leave them alone to face the next phases of their fates. Forgiveness or death? - "You must murder anyone who does not worship you." -- Muhammad, paraphrased (false prophet) "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." -- Jesus Christ (God's Son) Islam is not a religion, it is a war cry for world destruction. Listen to Jesus Christ who led justice to victory and is seated at God's right hand in Heaven. - "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!" -- Jesus Christ (John 8:43-45). - "Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within my vaults? It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." For The Lord will judge his people and have compassion on his servants when he sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free. (Deuteronomy 32:34-36). But Jesus replied, "Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:13-14). - Those who promote anger do not fear God's Wrath. That's pretty darn foolish. "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." Jesus Christ will send his angels to tie the weeds in bundles to be burned. That's not your purpose. God alone is good. And God is the only strength. Certainly he could have separated the wheat and the weeds had he desired. What did he say instead? https://biblehub.com/matthew/13-30.htm God has already solved this problem. "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!" -- Jesus Christ (John 8:43-45). "Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within my vaults? It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." For The Lord will judge his people and have compassion on his servants when he sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free. (Deuteronomy 32:34-36). But Jesus replied, "Every plant that my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." (Matthew 15:13-14). So he said to me, "This is the word of The Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says The Lord Almighty." (Zechariah 4:6). God is more powerful than man. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me. "The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small -- and for destroying those who destroy the earth." (Revelation 11:18). - Islam will end on its own -- they will kill themselves and each other. Avoid them and fear "God your Maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths". - Now is the time for a person to turn their heart to Jesus Christ and God who is in control. - "Not even a bird falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father's will. So do not be afraid -- you are worth more than many birds!" - Psalm 82:3-4 is the command. - Look at what the popular culture has done. Only a despicable liar would call The Only True God, Jesus Christ, and His Most Revered Holy Spirit of Truth "unfashionable". "As surely as I live," declares The Sovereign Lord, "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess." "Be still, and know that I am God. My Name will be glorified among the nations. My Salvation will endure for all generations. My Righteousness will never end." - "I, The Lord, do not change. Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers, you have turned away from my decrees and neglected to keep my commands. Return to me and I will return to you," says The Lord Almighty. https://www.biblestudytools.com/malachi/3.html - "Do not preach," they preach. "Do not preach these things; disgrace will not overtake us." Should it be said, O house of Jacob, "Is the Spirit of The Lord angry? Does he do such things?" "Do not my words do good to him whose way is upright? Lately, my people have risen up like an enemy -- you strip off the splendid robe from unsuspecting passers-by like men returning from battle. You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever. Get up and go away! This is not your land or your home -- you have defiled it with sin and ruined it completely. If a liar and deceiver comes and says, 'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,' that would be just the prophet for this people!" (Micah 2:6-11). - "All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm until the end you will [be kept safe / gain life]." (Matthew 10:22, etc.) "***When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.*** I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before The Son of Man comes." and so on - Matthew 9:27-31 shows how Jesus knows what it is like to do something miraculous for someone and then that person turns around and disrespects you. - Freud is a credible person to mention among academic circles, right? So how about those "cocaine papers" where he advocates for using cocaine? https://www.erowid.org/library/books/cocaine_papers.shtml :thinking: Maybe not so credible after all. Maybe not a person to reference to get clout for yourself among academics and professionals. I mean, those same imbecile professors who probably are inbred crack babies and crackheads themselves. Those same idiots who promote atheism "because they are so smart". They are not your friend. - "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Do you want peace on Earth? Do you want good things? Do you want righteousness? Then that is with what you will be filled! One's desire does not affect one's surroundings or others. It affects that person, and it is from their heart that they bring forth the good or evil they have stored. - The first thing I said when I woke up today: "Immanuel" The first thing my mother said when she woke up today: "Alexa" I wonder why my mother is having health problems. Gosh golly gee, I wonder. Why could this be? Hm... :thinking: Any ideas? Does anyone have wisdom and can discern the reason? No? Oh well, I guess it will forever remain a mystery. - An investment in listening to Jesus Christ is an investment in your eternal future. - "You are my friends if you obey my commands." "My command is this: love each other as I have loved you." - Can you pass the entrance exam to The Empire of Galactic Vergence? - "And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." Because when God tells someone to talk to you, it's an exam to determine if you are still fit to live, to determine how willing you are to accept help -- it is a free and generous offer for well-being, and to turn it down means to accept tragedy instead. So then when tragedy hits, are people willing to accept God's help? And for how long are they willing to listen afterwards? Or do they go off on their own and go about ruining their lives again because they have not actually listened and learned? And when God disciplines them, do they in turn discipline their children the same? When God shows them mercy and love and forgiveness, do they turn around and show mercy and love and forgiveness to their children and to others? Do they accept The Intercessor so they will not be guilty anymore? Do they still chase the favor of people? - It is a very large step between unbelief and faith through understanding. You have a lifetime to walk that path. Why wander around aimlessly? - [other:] Them: (link) U.S. Special Operations structure streamlined, will report to Defense Secretary Me: hijacking public defenders quick, say treason ten times fast Them: (screenshot advertising blockchain and bitcoin) Me: all the better for DARPA/NASA/Big Tech Globalists to use their supercomputers to control everyone's property rights boy you are really falling for all these traps so quickly; I don't want to say it, but it's almost as if you were stupid. But we all know that's not possible. I wonder why you lack discernment then? Oh, that's right, I know why -- yeah, God told me just now. SOCOM must report to America, not to the corrupt Department of Defense. It is so destructive that the government seeks to gain so much control over their fellow humans. It is quickly becoming clear that this actually is the age of betrayal. And there is an obvious reason why we are here now. (Well, obvious to people who can hear God.) "Let me control public defense so I can gain some praise from men as being their hero, their Christ." Or: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." They have all been scheming and plotting and trying to "sever" us from God, because they know he protects us on every level. But they refuse to learn: "No one can remove [my sheep] from my hand." So yeah, they are fools and will die. You will die, fools. Fear God. "But you forget God who holds in his hand your life and all your paths." Said to a king just before he lost everything and died. :P eat it. This fake social hierarchy will also fall and those slaves of arrogance who monger it will die and suddenly be gone from sight. But will the victims gain wisdom? But when The Son of Man comes, will he find faith on Earth? Will mankind as a whole improve, or simply rely upon murder and death to wipe their lazy asses? "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he sent." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." People actually doing what God wants them to do are so very rare. "God is on our side!" the nation exclaims. Uh huh, sure, you go ahead and think whatever and say whatever you feel, just like you have been doing this entire time no different from pagans. Then they blame the traitors for claiming the moral highground. Moral highground? Haven't you read, "There is only one who is good. If you want to enter life, obey The Commandments."? "The people know nothing." (Psalm 82). Oh yeah, hah, if people actually understood anything God had written down for everyone thousands of years ago, maybe we could all stop bitching and actually know what to do and which way to walk to stop all these problems. But I gotta get paid and get a degree before I can do a favor for my neighbor. Nah, love has got nothing to do with it, bro. I'm in it for the cash. Well, credit, as it were. Yeah, credits among international cabals. That's what I want. Screw praise from God. ...and then they die and both their soul and body is destroyed by God in Hell. I simply wonder if man's stupidity has any bounds. Like one day they were all like, "Hey, you know, I bet siphoning the Earth's ozone layer to another planet through a wormhole wouldn't be such a bad idea. Yeah, and if anyone whines, we can blame them for throwing spray cans and refrigerators outside in holes in the ground. Yeah, those dumbasses will have such cognitive dissonance, with our rank in the fake social hierarchy, no one will dare think to speak out and question our authoritah." Or maybe it was like a rarshach (sp?) test administered by a primate. And then they went with it. Screw logic and reason and conscience and sensibility and love and anything else worthwhile, we gonna run this planet and if we can't, we'll make our own by stealing all the water and air we want. And if anyone says otherwise, we'll just drown them out with fake news noises. Deceptions and distractions like Jesus said, all to divert attention from what we're doing. - https://uni.galaxyverge.com/audio/45.mp3 It's going to be OK. In the end, everything is properly resolved. - Action Plan: Jesus Christ drove out demons by the Spirit of God: "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!" That's because The Kingdom of Heaven is The Kingdom and The Spirit of God is The Government. Don't rely on weak humans to help you -- look to The Authority! "I will give you whatever you ask in my name, so The Son may bring glory to The Father. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." Therefore, drive out demons through prayer and let Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness flow like a never-failing river. Trust God to consume the land with good and to keep your hand from evil. "The Kingdom of Heaven is near. Repent and believe the good news!" - Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Please give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins because we forgive those who sin against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. - You want Justice? "[...]but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am The Lord who exercises Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight." (Jeremiah 9:24). - Therefore, God is The God of Justice. - Therefore, do what Jesus Christ does. - [other, modified from a previous entry in this document]: You want justice? I tell you the truth, everyone will see God's justice, and even the slightest frown from God's face is pure abject terror to anyone. [What then is facing his wrath?] They will fear him, one way or another. - In a perfect situation, every person would forgive. But anger is not the only cause of violence. The term mental illness labels any socially undesirable behavior. If people are only willing to accept what they label desirable, then how can anyone get credit for compassion? But if you love your enemies and show compassion to those you consider socially undesirable, then your actions give you credit. - Tommy Robinson supporters, this is your next step: whatever your gender, change your name to "Tommy Robinson". Don't you say, "we are all Tommy Robinson"? The legal system turned against you all, so now it is time for you all to turn against the legal system. Nobody pay any fees or taxes (except for sewage and electricity bills at first). The politicians want to take the country and the land, so show them what that entails. Do not spend any money -- break the system of government -- by using reason instead. And if they take you to prison by force, let them take every citizen to prison by force, and then you can repopulate the prisons also. Do not be afraid to lose your comforts, because meanwhile, you are losing your lives. "Those who made themselves my enemies without reason tried to end my life in a pit. From the depths I called out to you. You heard my cry for relief and came close and said, 'Do not be afraid, because I am with you.'" You have in God's Words the full power, majesty, and victory of true justice. Will you wield that sword and strike down the devils before you? "Do not steal, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not give false testimony, honor your parents, love your neighbor as yourself; from within men's hearts come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly -- all these evils come from within a man's heart and make him 'unclean'." Guilty! Show them their guilt, let God's Word resound in the buildings and streets and "bring the whole tithe" to The Lord "so that there may be food in [The Lord's] house" -- bring your whole heart to Christ so that he will sustain you with God's Living Word forever. Trust the strength of God who is Sovereign Lord God Almighty, ruler of Heaven and Earth. Then he will see all your problems and deal with them for you. Just ask and you will receive from Him Who Is Most Generous And Compassionate! Abandon stubbornness, abandon your legal systems, abandon your politicians, and learn what it means to be patient and trust "your maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths". "I tell you the truth, whoever believes will live and can no longer die -- he has crossed over from death to life." What then is there to fear? God is in control, so trust God to control! - -- An e-mail message to my first employer in a different area of the country. I did not send it. - Subject: Thank you for inviting me to work with pro-life Dear Colleagues: Thank you for inviting me to work with the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List organization. Because this organization values public opinions regarding abortion and elections, I offer you all some of my own opinion regarding these matters, and I am glad to assist however I may in your noble endeavors. Aborting America: The Extermination of Western Civilization September 17, 2020 A human born in modern Western Civilization is sacrificed to the demon Moloch by the mother in the public death cult using ritual permanent crippling by vaccine poison to fuel the pharmaceutical and child sex slave trafficking extortion rings for blackmailing government officials, or using ritual dismemberment and cold-storage shipment to China's domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers producing cannibalistic medicines and vaccines from dead Americans' body parts for the American mothers to ingest or inject in themselves or their other children to continue the ritual sacrifice. What the extermination of the West does not spend on extorting their government officials by the various sex slave trafficking rings funds terrorists and its own pharmaceutical government agencies of institutional public slavery such as the vaccine-mandating CDC and the Operation Mockingbird CIA deep state media empire. Any taxpayer refusing to pay for the public institution of the ritual extermination of America is promptly imprisoned and all their property handed to the banks whose money is laundered by China. Meanwhile, the sports team political parties and the Chinese-funded big tech companies gut Americans of their wealth while offering computer game and DARPA-designed Internet and tracking chip cell phones with hypnotic escapist videos for inducing the brainwashing trance to disarm, distract, deceive, and disseminate the notion that the death of Americans and America is good and well-deserved. So I'm not going to tell you which basketball team to vote for. I tell you to ask yourself why nobody is publicly discussing Barrack Hussein Obama's Kenyan birth certificate, and why taxes are not itemized. "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that my sheep may [permanently] have life, and have life to the fullest." -- Jesus Christ (John 10:10). "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life." -- Jesus Christ (John 6:47). "I tell you the truth, whoever listens to my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and [will not come under judgment / can no longer die]; he has crossed over from death to life." -- Jesus Christ (John 5:24). "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" -- Jesus Christ (John 11:25-26). "He replied, 'I tell you that everyone who has will be given more [and will have an abundance]; but the one who does not have, even what he [(thinks he)] has will be taken away from him. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them -- bring them here and kill them in front of me.'" -- Jesus Christ (Luke 19:26-27; Luke 8:18). - I did not send the e-mail message because I had already given up on society because society is stupid and deserves what is coming to it. -- Each of us will fail. Your best is not good enough. All of our best put together is still not good enough -- it is not good enough for God. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in Weakness." Believe in Jesus Christ, and then he will be your righteousness, because he is the best given to humans to accept by God who created us. "Listen to him!" Haven't we learned from our mistakes since Adam and Eve? Stop being led by creatures such as humans. Of course nobody will listen to me; I point people in the right direction by telling them to listen to Jesus Christ, but they are stubborn! So then if the cattle will not listen to God's instruction, then God will hand them over to obvious failure -- ruin and destruction, demise and death. Then they will waste their breath whining and so forth, blaming God for their stubborn refusal to listen to Jesus Christ, and the answer will remain in the annals of history: "When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen." And then on the last day, overwhelming disgrace will sweep them away like wind pushing ashes. They will see that they refused to accept the only cure to their shame, and so they will continue to hate God and everyone who is blessed by God (as Jesus Christ explained), and then they will be sent to everlasting destruction, where their soul and body will be constantly destroyed in torture unceasingly... and everyone who did listen to Jesus Christ will move on with a new Creation given by God, never to look back and think about the fate of God's enemies who foolishly rejected the only intercession acceptable to God, The Judge. Aren't you people done relying on death? When God gives the world over to torment during the last days, he denies people death so that they would remember that he said, "I give life and I bring death. No one can remove from my hand." and "But you have forgotten The Lord your Maker who holds in his hand your life and all your paths." So they exalt themselves: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain honor for themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." and they therefore blaspheme God who seeks glory for himself and is The Judge. And the punishment for blasphemy is death -- but God is the prosecutor, judge, and executioner. It is as Jesus Christ explained; it is as God explained. Why won't you just listen to him? These people, they are wasting your time and distracting you. "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Matthew 12:46-50 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." Jesus replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Jesus pointed to his disciples and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers, because whoever does the will of My Father in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother." "They do not know or understand; they wander around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken." They have closed their eyes and their ears so that they cannot gain knowledge and understanding; their hearts have become calloused. Are you listening to Jesus Christ? Did you ask Jesus Christ? And what did Jesus Christ say? If you are unable to correctly say "yes" to these first two questions, then you are playing dead -- as if you did not know how to stand on your own two feet and walk (you do know, but you are a fool and lazy when it comes to doing what is right... and God's curse is upon you because you refuse to do what is right by listening to God who commanded us to listen to, receive, and believe his son Jesus Christ); if you correctly say "yes" to these first two questions, then I have nothing further to say to you because he is the best and "I am not seeking glory for myself". -- I the lord do not change; therefore you sons of jacob are not destroyed. He has drawn and held us to himself of himself by himself with his love. -- Silence is a beautiful and grand context. -- Imagine, if you can, the disappointment of knowing everything and having no person listen to you. -- 2020-12-22 Nobody wants to hear the messages I have in front of me to give to you and to the world. In fact, I said out loud, "Nobody's going to listen to me anyway. Why do I bother? What's the point?" A message to Alex Jones: Do not be afraid. Have faith in God. The nations are guilty because they trusted in their "gov" rather than their God. Psalm 82, which Jesus Christ fulfilled, has condemned us. Salvation for man was purchased at the highest possible price, therefore, there is no valid excuse to not obey the greatest wisdom, which is this: listen to Jesus Christ. Remember his lesson, which is as follows: "but Jesus was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a cushion." Let go and let God. Go home and be with your children and your wife, and show an interest more in them than in your mission here, because relationships run on dedication, otherwise called interest, and lacking that fuel, they end. Do not be dismayed. Jesus Christ said, "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is made pure in Weakness," and "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, because theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven." Failure is acceptable because Jesus led Justice to victory, now in His Name, God Saves, the nations put their hope. "Not by force or by might, but by My Spirit," says The Lord. Now, a message to the world: On my blade of white fire is inscribed, "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy," and on its hilt, "It is as Jesus Christ explained," and on the handle, "love Jesus Christ". On the last day, when every knee bows before him, I will slit the throat and stab the heart of every soul before him, then show The Lamb their dripping blood for judgment. If the blood is pure, The Lamb will nod and the wise men will applaud. If the blood is impure, The Lamb will shake his head, and the angels will drag the soul and body off to the side onto the burn pile. I will see you there, fellow humans. Now you know. If anyone wants infinite knowledge, they will exercise the greatest wisdom. So be it, and God bless you. -- This mess of public narratives is an ancient agenda that continues into the last days. We suffer a psychological warfare subversion operation by khazarian fake jews operating in Israel intent on exterminating the white christian race, complete with controlled opposition members like alex jones (william hicks) and every other popular personality using the right-wing-left-wing dichotomy paradigm. Jesus gave many warnings, including Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Disobedience will be necessary soon, and the only real form of protest is to not pay taxes into the enemy's world domination agenda. For years, I warned everyone who would listen that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. The malice against us is palpable. The virus is a lie, but if you let them stick anything into you at all, get your affairs in order. They want us to lose faith in Jesus. Deny them that satisfaction. Keep watch. -- Do not live in fear. It is the solemn duty of every righteous person, whether they are man, woman, or child, to show the path of justice for those around them when the person sees that those around them live in fear. But the leader does not become exalted, and he should not exalt himself, but the righteous man in his successful activities humbles himself and listens to the needy. He leads the needy in the way they should go. In deed, he is not afraid, and in word, he works for God. God does not want to destroy the hearts of men or women or children. God loves men, women, and children. The pursuit of a righteous man is to act according to the ways of The Lord Righteousness, and The Lord Righteousness loves all his creation. In compassion, he refines his own people who listen to his voice. He defends the weak and the needy; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked, by the sword of his mouth, in absolute truth, he purifies his people in mercy with his blood, he feeds them and guides them and cares for them in the way that they should go; he leads them in paths of righteousness because God wants people to know happiness in him and to not be afraid. Those who exalt themselves in their hearts over God and make themselves seem like they are rulers and overlords, they serve only themselves at the expense of others, casting their neighbor down. But God commanded that we bring our neighbor up, that we do good and love our neighbor as if they were ourselves. Purity... purity and power belong to God. There is no place for fear among The Lord Almighty because of his great mercy. In my lifetime thus far, I have never seen a more absurd doctrine and false narrative than the so-called "COVID-19 virus pandemic". There is every reason to discard that narrative. But do not make fun of those who fall victim to the weaponized fear against them, for it is not the place of the righteous to mock their neighbor, but to serve their God. The God of Truth does not mock man but to humble him so that he would listen and understand that he, man, should have listened to God and not exalted the folly of his fears over his faith and trust and knowledge of God's control and might and power. Why should man be afraid? God alone is good. So let every man listen to God and Jesus Christ and learn from him. Let every man who knows God point to God and show his neighbor, all the women and the children, and tell them that they must not live in fear. "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. Trust in God, trust also in [Jesus Christ]." Now is not the time for vengeance. God will avenge. Now is the time to tell people, "Do not be afraid. Trust in God." -- God gives guidance, information, and comfort, and that is all people want. -- God gives man dignity as a child of God, as a god to be like God. But men would rather kill each other. How much more madness should continue in our legacy? How much longer will we reject within us and among us Jesus Christ's glory? Why do fools fill the earth like dirt? As long as man is stubborn like an ass against God, as long as man laughs at God and blasphemes God, man will be a slave to dirt. "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?" -- Jesus Christ, The Son of God. Who will listen to him? Who listens to him? Humanity is not worth God's Son. -- The repentance and forgiveness of sins is that God lovingly freely gave Jesus Christ to us all to be the warm morning sunshine relieving our burden of enslavement to sin and death so that whoever accepts his teaching and intercession would by it be freed and become a god in him even though they remain not worth the clinging mud beneath his sandals. -- Bill Gates does not love me. The Rothschilds do not love me. The bank does not love me. The government does not love me. The police do not love me. The medical system does not love me. The schools do not love me. The neighbors do not love me. But Jesus Christ loves me. And I love Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ gives me peace. -- The most efficient subversion is to lead your enemy away from God's love, and the most expedient way to control people is to blaspheme God. This is what Satan did to Eve, and this is what the false prophet will do to conquer all the nations. Only Jesus Christ is worthy to speak about God. -- Sugar is poison: Sugar causes seizures. Sugar depletes nutrients in your body, giving you problems such as illness, "brain fog" confusion, chronic depression, diabetes, canker sores, and acne. Sugar causes cancer. Sugar makes you fat. Sugar damages your nervous system, immune system, blood stream, brain, liver, kidneys, senses such as eyesight and touch, your skin, and all your organs. Sugar makes you impotent. Sugar feeds parasites. Sugar breaks apart your teeth. Sugar exacerbates the damaging effects of genetically-modified food products. Sugar is more addictive than illegal narcotics such as cocaine. Sugar nets massive profits, immune from retribution, for the food and pharmaceutical industries at the expense of your life; why do you think that nearly every packaged food product is laced with as much sugar as can be palatable? Vaccines are poison: Vaccines cause seizures. Vaccines deplete nutrients in your body, giving you problems such as illness, "brain fog" confusion, chronic depression, diabetes, canker sores, and acne. Vaccines cause cancer. Vaccines make you fat. Vaccines damage your nervous system, immune system, blood stream, brain, liver, kidneys, senses such as eyesight and touch, your skin, and all your organs. Vaccines sterilize you and make you impotent. Vaccine toxins build up in parasites, making them resilient against your immune system. Vaccines cause lifelong chronic allergies. mRNA vaccines are experimental biochemical abominations that genetically modify you, infecting your blood and other bodily fluids, and sterilizing you or killing you and people in contact with you such as your family and friends, and corrupts your gene pool making your children abhorrent leprous mutants prone to childhood death. Vaccines kill you. Vaccines maim you. Vaccines cause autism. Vaccines net massive profits, immune from retribution, for the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of your life; why do you think that every newborn is scheduled for medical rape by forced injection repeatedly throughout their entire lifetime? Do you know which group of people are attacking the children with sugar and vaccines? If you could identify your attacker, what exactly would you do as a result of this knowledge? -- Give a man what he wants and he will praise you. Give a man what he does not want and he will despise you. Tell a man what he wants to hear and he will commend you. Tell a man what he does not want to hear and he will shun you. So foolish is a man. So blind is a man. So self-glorifying and corrupt is a man. So wicked is a man that he hates the justice of discipline. How can a man improve? How can a man repent? How can a man understand? How can a man gain integrity? No. Let man die. Let man suffer in misery and want to die. Let man never understand and curse himself and beg to die. Let man lose all he has and hate himself and destroy his life until he should die. Because man hated God. Man should die. Is this not what you want to hear, mortal man? -- Within a man's heart is the desire for information, guidance, and comfort. "God created man in the image of God; male and female God created them." Man is designed to be like God by learning from God and knowing God; let man turn to God. Let man listen to what God says and commune with God with all of the man's heart, mind, soul, and will. Man should humble himself to God by listening to Jesus Christ, God's son. Learn and grow, my fellow men! Do not become distracted by the vain wayward goals of those who chase after their own fleeting fanciful ideas of what they want in their lifetimes for themselves. No, you serve God. Do in the love of God what pleases God, and then God (God created you and God seeks glory for himself) "will honor the one who serves [Jesus Christ]." It pleases God for you to learn from God's son Jesus Christ. -- Man has suffered since the moment Adam chose to be dishonest in his heart to God. This is the most disgusting and artificial roadblock to happiness in life that humans will ever erect. There is so much suffering because men constantly refuse to listen to Jesus Christ. Why posture? Are my words unreasonable? Stop institutionalizing mass murder and abuse of innocent little children; speak and write only the truth, not any lies, and refrain from libel and slander; deal only honestly, without greed, theft, extortion, cheating, bribery, or malice; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed; administer true justice in the courts, with real mercy and active compassion without shirking discipline; fear God; and improve, do not destroy, the lives and communities I want to be most excellent. Then I will not need to consider cutting you off; then violence and death will be far from you; then I will not need to look to God for the moment I should go and kill you with my own hands. But now you have made yourself my enemy without reason. Like Jesus Christ and God, who you venomously hate, I have done no wrong to you, but all you do is slander and ridicule and attack, to steal from me, kill me, and destroy everything I have built. Why should you die? I do not delight in the death of anyone. Shouldn't you rather repent and live? "And this is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; because their deeds were evil. Because everyone practicing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light so that his works may be exposed; but the one practicing the truth comes to the light so that his works may be manifest as having been done in God." I want honesty in men's hearts to God. Is that too much for which to ask? -- If you want to do what matters in your life, don't spend any money. If you cannot refrain from spending money, then everything in your life will remain on its current course. Get back to me when you've decided to rebel against the bankers by not spending money. Until then, you cannot be a Jedi. -- Always someone willing to sell you what they think you are looking for. -- Everyone: "Alarm! Alarm! The sky is falling! Everyone is going to die!" My family members: "No, actually, it's [this way]." Me: "I told you that two years ago. And you didn't listen." There is one thing that I cannot tolerate and which has no end in sight: the age of arrogance leading to the age of folly. Does a man thank me for telling him the truth? No, he argues with me. LIKE A FUCKING ARROGANT FOOL. Them: I agree. I am starting to think these people are too weak to handle and see the truth *shrug* so they defy all logic and just follow the narratives which make them feel good Me: Demoralized people cannot see the truth because they are indoctrinated to not assess for themselves what is right. "And also, why don't you assess for yourselves what is equitable?" -- Jesus Christ -- How is it bad that man is divided against each other? If man were united, then God would be displeased because nothing would be impossible for man. But most men do not understand that it was Jesus Christ who scattered man into languages throughout the earth. And men do not understand why, and why man is so helpless among his fellow men, and that is why man feels like he should blame himself; man does not turn his heart to God and Jesus Christ, because if man did such a thing, then man would learn and gain peace with God. Rather, man exalts himself and thus is miserable wherever he goes. -- I keep seeing "the ultimate red pill is [...]" messages around Telegram. no friends no freinds no Admit it. The ultimate "red pill" is accepting the pinned message @galaxyverge ["God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy"]. And it is fact, not cynicism. Do you like facts? I like facts -- when they are true! That's why I wrote it and pinned it to my channel, and it has remained the only pinned message to my channel. learn... "friends". Learn, man! Why won't you learn?! * What more is there to say?! * You want to point fingers, yes? But your finger never points at yourself; why is that? Are you simply another blind, dishonest hypocrite? Do you want something real? Try aligning your heart to The Creator God's Teacher Jesus Christ. I have nothing to say to you -- all of you! Forever! Away from me! You unworthy and unspecial schmucks! I told you all ad nauseum over years; and we heard it resound throughout time by God himself -- "listen to Jesus Christ!" Why u no do this, dumb humans? Why u so dumb? Why u so dumb? In due time. Then you will die. Will you understand anything before God demands your life from you? Or will you have nothing and lose everything? Of course you don't understand. You never listened to Jesus Christ. Of course you don't understand. In your heart, you are ruled by Satan, not by Jesus Christ. Have I not said this and have you not heard me say this? Haven't you read what I wrote here? Look to God, turn to Christ, listen and gain more than what you could ever want. Why don't you honor God? What's the matter with you? Why won't you learn? Why are you so foolish? Why won't you listen to Jesus Christ? Why won't you read his words? Why should I even communicate if you will never pay attention? Why should I communicate if you will never want to hear the truth? [ These people are so stupid. Haven't you all played the waiting game with God long enough? Man, you are so dumb! And then you will die.

Me: Do you think it is your fault that no one cares? Or maybe someone does care -- the only one whose care matters. And maybe we're simply being reluctant to acknowledge that fact. -- Exodus 33:22; Mark 6:48; Mark 13:31. To pass by. {All glory to God and Jesus Christ who reign from the highest. Amen.} -- The spiritual lineage of Cain continues until the end, but we must not be led astray by their false prophets; and that means we who are blessed will listen to Jesus Christ exclusively as our only *real spiritual teacher*.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to those upon whom his favor rests. -- Why is Internet chat so hostile, and cold? "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But whoever stands firm to the end will be saved." -- Jesus Christ -- Fear. "Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid. Trust in God; trust also in me." But Jesus was in the stern of the boat, sleeping on a cushion. [...] "Why are you so afraid? Where is your faith?" "Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the son of man comes [back], will he find faith on earth?" "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but afterwards can do nothing further. I will tell you who to fear: fear him who, after the death of the body, has the power to destroy both your soul and your body in Hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (That refers to God.) "Have faith in God. [...] Whatever you [all] ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it; it will be yours. [...] You [all] may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it. Ask and you [all] will receive, so that your joy may be made replete." "And I assure you that I am with you always, even until the very end of the age." "I know my sheep and my sheep know me, just as the father knows me and I know my father. My sheep listen to my voice, and I give them eternal life. No one can remove them from my hand.

"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered. "No one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:43-44). -- Them: Bolshevik rape of Europe. Between 1944-1955, Allied and Soviet forces raped, tortured and killed more than 20 million ethnic Germans. Allies did not bring 'Freedom', but rather the end of Europe under the puppetry of Jew. Me: Why is there always rape involved in war? Because sexual immorality is merely one of the evils from the human heart. -- Worship The Lamb, The Sovereign Lord Almighty; He will redeem us from our enemies, and He does not fail. Legions of armies surround him at his command. A glance and they know his will; He sees his desire fulfilled. No one can escape his grasp. He will pass judgment upon all mankind; The weak and submissive he will raise up and exalt, He will clothe them with light like his close servants, And the treacherous and sleek and mighty Will be shattered and ground to dust and burned By his razor-sharp burning tongue, the sword in his mouth. Friends, let us trust in The Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, Because he will deliver us from the enemy, and He knows, and He does not fail, because His hand is God's hand; His mouth is God's mouth, and God presides in the great assembly, and His mercy endures forever. Dearest, most merciful Lamb of God, Let me worship your name forever. Be my king; Be my great father; Counsel me in your ways; Make me be as you want me. Let me be your student, Be my great teacher; Master, be my God. Creator and Redeemer, hold me securely in your ways. Never let me disappoint you; You have interceded, now give me life in you. Never let me go. Smile to me, Jesus, Give me comfort by your pleasure. Keep me from your curse; Set for me the path; Great and powerful Sovereign God, I ask for patience with your weak servant; But what you set forth for me I will pursue, Because you have given me courage, None can stop me, But to you I submit like a coward, Because you hold my life and soul in your hand. Surely you can make me suffer, But no more than your discipline requires. Great Father, Jesus Christ, you heard my inmost request; And may your name be praised forever. My God in Heaven, my Father and Redeemer, You alone have permission to shed my blood. You set me like a trap for my enemy, See, I did not submit to them, but neither did I resist them; You honored me like The Lamb, And they shed my blood, even though I denied them permission. In response, you punished them all by your wrath. I said, only you have permission to shed my blood, Because you are my God, My Creator, my God, And only to you do I submit my life and my soul, Dearest Master and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Even my mind is yours; Yes, you refine and humble me at your pleasure. You set forth the goal and your Great Counselor guides me through it. He leads me to know you. How wonderful is your voice! -- God wields the truth and destroys my enemies. The society that condemns me will be condemned to death, Because my God has loved me with an everlasting love. Come, Accuser Satan! Contend with my God! Come, foolish men! Contend with me! I have the power; mine is strength; I am Almighty; none can resist me, Within me is The God of Truth; God cuts down my enemies; I am victorious; through me God avenges. Call me vengeance. Call me destroyer. Call me victory. Call me salvation. It is my task to give life and to kill. No one can escape. You too will fall to my sword, foolish nation. Come, let us reason together, let us turn our hearts to The Lord our God, Let us lay down our souls beneath the foot of Jesus Christ. God will be kind and draw us to himself in gentle compassion, But those who resist him, like the devil, will be hewn and rent asunder, Come, feel my blade, let its white hot purity cut your flesh; The Lord my God has given it to me and will not take it back. God does not give like the world gives. Come to me, he who would judge me, Come meet your destruction. You all will feel my blade, Because, I tell you the truth, God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy. Come reason with me, mortal, Taste defeat with me; Come fight against me, world, Receive your due reward. Take me to your courts; Place me on trial. Convict me all you please, Because the only reply I need is this: "Unemployment destroys society. Without crime, you would all be unemployed. Therefore, you have delighted in evil and rejected God. All you had to do was listen to Jesus Christ. All you had to do was submit your heart to God's peace. All you had to do was learn that God and Christ alone is Trustworthy. Light entered the world, but you chose to continue the systems of evil. Therefore, hypocrisy overtakes you, And destruction is your accomplishment and destiny. Come reason with me and be destroyed; Bring your heart to Jesus Christ, or be destroyed by God's words of truth. You will never accept him, so the curse remains on this nation, Until he forces you under his feet and crushes you to dust, And you are no more, no longer capable of exercising great evils from your hearts, Suppressing the truth and oppressing all people, Delighting to accuse yet allowing no criticism of yourselves, The fruit is ripe on the tree; So repent of evil or die. I am the last." -- [Forwarded from Guerrilla Warfare School] THE WILL IS THE WEAPON Guerrilla warfare is a contest of wills above all else. Each side is attempting to break their opponents’ will to continue the conflict. Where conventional state forces have the benefit of numbers, heavy weaponry and massive logistics chains, irregular forces have their discipline and devotion to the cause. History has shown time and again that these things cannot be defeated. Bullets can’t destroy an ideology, or the will of men to fight and sacrifice for their people. As long as one fighter remains alive to struggle and proselytize, the cause remains alive as well. As long as one man is willing to light the path to victory, he will rally people to his cause. An occupying force can resort to the total destruction of the people in order to pacify their resistance, but the more they resort to such measures, the more they strengthen the resolve of the resistance and erode their own political will. Times change, along with methods and equipment; but the will to fight is eternal. It is the distant torch in the darkness lighting the sure path to victory. As long as the path is kept, defeat is impossible. The flame can never be extinguished. -- The role of the government, which feeds on crime, is to destroy man's will to survive. -- What does the government gain by telling the truth? -- April 10, 2021 Many years ago, I used to have a recurring dream. It was a dystopic nightmare in an urban setting, I think based in New York or Baltimore. I did not have this dream for a few years, but now I had it again, and I plainly recognized it as prophetic because it so accurately resembled today; but it still is prophetic because it is not quite yet fulfilled. This was such a disgusting nightmare that I asked Jesus years ago to rid me of it, and he did, and now I see. He also gave me another nightmarish vision last night, more horrible than this; it was of great death of people, a carnal rage with broken spines and severed skulls [with palpable sounds of them popping and splitting in front of me]; and I asked why this was, and Jesus told me that it was because my people will become so stifled and abused that the rage that I felt would surge within them and overflow with no remedy of being continually pacified and subdued. And I also see this rage on the horizon; and although I recognized this as an appalling carnage, I felt calm and kind of peaceful as the continuous flow of spines and skulls were being snapped and shattered by my hands. But I wondered if those would be the deaths of my people. When my senses came to me as I awoke, I was disgusted and nauseous and afraid at why I did not reject the vision on account of its evil like I did with perverse thoughts in the past. I quickly checked to see if I was being led away from God; and in my heart, I knew this was an ongoing test. Awake now, I know that the rage I feel stays with me like a filling basin. At some point, I will no longer be able to contain it, and I will no longer be able to be pacified by the enemy from blindly attacking the enemy that has slaughtered and tortured billions of my people throughout the generations of mankind, even though it may cost me my life or my soul, even though it displeases my God and he frowns upon me and makes me terrified of my eternal fate at his judgment, because God does not delight in the death of anyone. Even though I ask Jesus Christ to handle this for me, I still see that time coming; even though I thought to close my eyes to it, now I refuse to keep them closed, because I know -- although, the longer it is delayed in coming, the worse it will be for my people, and the longer the slaughter will last, and the more likely it is that I will die among my people in the fight, and the less hope there will be for mankind's survival. I see all this on the horizon, and it threatens many souls. He who has not by now entered the doorway of Jesus Christ will be left behind very soon to be killed and lose his soul. "Your young men will see visions..." (Acts 2:17). I told people that I am the last. Perhaps I was incorrect. You see what is happening now. Stop ignoring me; what a strange sensation it would be for a man to listen to my words when I point to the only hope. I wonder if I will ever experience that. Perhaps by the time they come I will no longer speak. "Only in his hometown, among his own people, and in his own house, is a prophet without honor." (Matthew 13:57). Should I lecture my people after their rigor mortis sets in? I place my hands above the toaster to feel its warmth, but it pops. Will this be by my hand? I weep at putting down a diseased raccoon. How would I heal the planet of sickly fools? They are beyond the stage of terminal arrogance and now so overwhelming is their hypocrisy that they slide smoothly through the sewage pipe of folly. They see their deaths approaching; how nondescript. Yet, remove the fly from the trap but he will not thank you. My people will die like flies because all evil leads to death and they have exercised evil folly after evil arrogance. Where is God's Christ? Do you think the mocking vultures will not feast on you, rotting corpse? Get up and defend yourself. Fight like a man. Humor me! Look, the Christ is out in the desert -- see, he is over here in this room -- look, he is over on that slippery cliff... but Heaven is make-believe! Come, fools, come to the slaughter. Your neck will be snapped like a chicken by butchers, and all your sons and daughters will be raped to death. Open your eyes, fools; look, your disaster approaches like a cloud! Close your eyes until the lightning strikes you! You are merely burnt dust! How wise you are, soulless waste bin! Talk! Open the windows all the way; let a strong wind enter for fresh air! Exhaust your heartbeats! You won't listen anyway. Show me your great vision, dead men! Issue your demands! Give me all you've got, dead men! Show me all your hands! Flee to all the lands! Run from God! The little bird chirps often; the crow waits to caw. Will you shoot the little bird? Will you shoot the crow? "Will you fight death that I have led to your window?" says The Lord. I want to, but no, Jesus. The spirit is willing but the body is weak. You are already victorious. I acknowledge that. Have I finished this lesson? ...Shall I shoot the crow? The lesson is not over. Look, the robin flees; the little bird cries. I am in distress. The wolf mocks the sheep. Let me kill the wolf; let me shoot the crow; let me defend the weak and slaughter death. But how shall I kill death? How could I possibly defend the weak? See, the crow caws and death mocks me as the crow moves in to kill its prey. Surely, I own a firearm -- no, two, no, more. I select my weapon. I have the tool. Should I use it? If I delay, will the little bird die? Will you kill the victim to teach me a lesson? Or will you yourself rescue this nation? Look, the crow returns; its caw scared the parents away. The young are now vulnerable to it. How can I not now shoot it down? How can I resist killing it? Look, it feasts on the little helpless chicks. I am getting my gun; did I not ask and believe? Now it is time for me to kill, Before the crow absconds to its next victim. Look, it already flew away; By the time I was locked and loaded, it was a distant voice. But do you punish the wolf for eating? Does the snake get punished for snatching a helpless bird? Does the crow get punished for eating the weak and helpless? Did you not design them that way, to kill? None can escape your judgment, but will you hold them as guilty for eating? I would have killed it; I delayed, and now my people are no more. You delay, but what is death really to you, God who brings it? Jesus, defender, why do you fail me? My intellect made me slow; I should have not spoken to you. I knew delay would be fatal for the victim; Why did I even ask you for protection? It looks like death is winning in my heart. Every time it comes against me, I turn to you; I consider and then reject death. "How long shall you go on like this," death asks me. Yet you cast it away in disgust. Jesus, have I not had enough? Has my nation not had enough? How long do you want this test to continue, God? If I kill myself, will I escape it? If I end myself, can I avoid the decline of aging to rigor mortis? These people are insane. I want nothing to do with them. I have had enough. Keep your dreams. I will kill whatever gets near. I am done running away. Look at these morons, they think they understand. Hey, fools, come jump off this cliff! It's fun! There's a big treasure waiting for you at the bottom. You are strong enough, you will survive the fall. It's like a videogame, you will hit the ground running. See the bodies down below? They just didn't do it right. But you are a skilled professional. You got this! As I decline down the steps, I realize: Nobody cared even though I cared about them. "Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But whoever stands firm to the end will be saved." (Matthew 24:12-13). But now I am about to pay for my love and my faith with my life. And so will all my people. But "who cares", yes? "Oh but you can't change people," "Oh, but it's all in the way that you talk to people," Say the educators, Who I guess with their snake tongues assign passing grades to kids who can't count to 3. -- A law is a sign of corruption. -- The Lord Righteousness is in Heaven, so why don't you listen to him? -- All evil leads to death. Therefore, repent or die. -- You can accomplish so much more by not waiting for dishonest people to help you. So complaining is useless. -- How will things change if I keep doing the same actions? Do good actions for the sake of good actions occurring. No result is guaranteed, but what God wants to happen occurs anyway; no one can change God; but God has declared promises; so asking changes nothing, and nothing changes, because God does not change. So it is a waste of will to ask for change. Have faith in God, regardless of what happens to you, and know that your time on Earth will end anyway, exactly how God planned. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." -- Sin is a spiritual ball-and-chain of dishonesty that prevents man from being able to ascend to becoming like God. Satan lied to Eve. God exerts effort to forgive. -- Human food decays. God's food does not decay. -- Satan is not on Earth. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/12-31.htm But I do see many dishonest people on Earth. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/mark/7.htm And they cast blame on others. Do not be like them; do not do what they do. Do not cast blame onto others; a man may be guilty, but do not be angry with him in your heart, or that anger may provoke you to murder, and then his transgression will also condemn you to the grave. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/leviticus/19-18.htm Because whoever draws the sword will die by the sword. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/26-52.htm Therefore, do good for the sake of doing good even to those who hate you because you do good. Then you will be like God. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/luke/6-35.htm Exercise good for the sake of good being exercised -- obey the commandments. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/19-17.htm -- Think one step ahead. If people label someone doing evil as a Christian, then children will learn to identify Christianity as evil, even though it is not evil. The lineage of Judah is to Christ, after all, and that is what these fake Jews, who will still hold the narrative but now as Satanists in their public narrative, will say, and in this way they will condemn Christianity and have all Christians put to death. Think ahead. Use accurate words. Do not play by the enemy's narrative. A wolf is not a sheep despite it wearing wool for itself. -- There are people who claim to be Jews, but are not Jews, and claim to be Christians, but are not Christians. (See Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.) They are actually spiritually of their father Satan. So they do what Satan does: lie and murder and thieve to steal, kill, and destroy. Satanism is the doctrine that the Holy Bible is false until impossibly proven true. Satan is not interested in truth and does not want truth. But if people simply listen to Jesus Christ, whose words are documented in the Holy Bible, then people know the truth and are set free by Jesus Christ. God frees men. Sin enslaves men; "whoever sins is a slave to sin." Satanism is slavery, which destroys men's lives, and prevents men from ascending to godship. (See Psalm 82.) The Satanic practice of skepticism foolishly casts doubt on truth in order to hinder and disable men, and subvert God's Kingdom of Heaven. (Jesus Christ said, "And also, why don't you determine for yourselves what is equitable?") Jesus Christ already led Justice to Victory and God drove Satan and evil spirits out of the world. (See John 12:31.) It is long overdue for mankind to begin trusting God and Jesus Christ, because you can read in Genesis how the world was very pleasant at its beginning as a haven for life, until Satan deceived Eve and Adam into distrustful sin against God, and the world has now become increasingly unpleasant because of Satanists continuing Satan's work of destroying the world and destroying everyone in the world. Now is always an excellent opportunity for listening to God and Jesus Christ who created the world and everything and everyone. Satan wants to hurt people as much as possible. Satanism maliciously deceives with folly and arrogance by teaching man to believe-in (exalt) himself and man, and Satanism teaches man to ignore and hate God. Man needs God; man needs God's Presence (Immanuel); and God exalts man by discipline, refinement, truth, compassion, mercy, justice, righteousness, and love, giving man power by faith in God's promises, and privately gives man holy and divine and supreme information, guidance, and comfort. "God disciplines those he loves, like a father disciplines the child in whom he delights." The God of Life is merciful and good and patient towards men, and will give final judgment; God did not avenge Cain's murder of Abel by killing Cain. God also did not kill Satan. Satan was exiled out of Heaven, and Cain was exiled out of society; division is useful to discipline, but does man will to obey God's command to love one another like God loved man? God wants man to be safely under God's wing, protected from evil Satan who destroys, steals, and kills everything and everyone because Satan hates the only true God who created everything and everyone. Satanists claim to be anyone, and their motto is "permit anything, but not Christ." Man is more than what man does. God is more than what God does. There is of a man and of God a heart, mind, soul and will. Man is of Weakness and God is the only strength. The first words of Genesis state "In the beginning" or "First". Genesis documents God's creation of the physical universe; God and other beings existed before God created the universe, and evidence of this is seen now and also is in Genesis and other documentation. God is the only creator. Did "the Jews" kill Jesus Christ? "No one takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down of my own will. I have authority to lay it down, and authority to take it back up again. This command I received from my Father." The Edomite Satanists who wore Jew clothing manipulated the public and incited a mob rebellion to blackmail a Roman governor into conceding to allow the Satanists to force the military to fulfill their desire to crucify Jesus Christ -- but they did not know what they were doing. (Their lineage continues their practice today.) While that ignorance is of no credit or value to them, Jesus asked God to forgive them on that basis. But that drives home the fact that once that knowledge is gained, there is no turning back to exalt ignorance. So eternal life can only be obtained in Jesus Christ; "and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you sent." Only do something that you want God to see... because he does see it. Only do something that you want everyone to see... because they will see it. Only write something that you want everyone to know. Only say something that you want everyone to hear. A priest in his right mind only conveys God's message to honor the exalted Jesus Christ. "Heaven and Earth will all pass away, but my words will never pass away." Therefore, learn what is written that God said. -- Here is the character of human law in man's fake social hierarchy: For God to say to a man, "Repent of evil or you will surely die," is a divine act of God, but for a man to say to another man, "Repent of evil or you will surely die," is a threatening act of terrorism. So the liar dispenses punishment to dispense with punishment. But all evils lead to death, so how can a dishonest man repent to escape with his life? That man would need to be disciplined by the God of Truth and Life. But because a dishonest man rejects the truth and rejects discipline and rejects the only true God, what remaining hope for survival does a dishonest man have? So then he resorts to stealing, and killing and destroying other men, in a futile attempt to escape punishment. And so the dishonest man is perpetually found lacking the understanding of truth and the presence of life, and having no faith in God's only divine intervention to redeem him from the swiftly approaching disaster, soon quickly entirely perishes. The dishonest man becomes like the garden fig tree that year after year does not bear fruit and is therefore cut down and removed from taking up the soil. All the man had to do was repent and believe in Jesus Christ. But an arrogant man does not submit to God, a dishonest man does not submit to truth, and a foolish man does not accept counsel from the greatest wisdom. -- Why are you afraid? Fear is only your imagination. God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy. The reason you are afraid is because you are dishonest in your heart to God. Ask Jesus Christ for eternal life and he will freely give it to you; and you will look to him, and he will inform, guide, and comfort you, and protect you and take good care of you always; and you will know God's everlasting love. "But when The Son of Man returns, will he find faith on Earth?" -- The telephone, the computer, and the television are machines that teach people to hate people. -- The American government is a fraud because it is a government of, by, and for foreign-controlled money, and the government that controls that money is the Rothschild city within London, and his allegiance is to Satan, and his people are of the nation state of Israel. That is why the American military fights for Satan and is controlled by Satanists. That is why the American government has perpetuated the subversion of all Christianity in America and throughout the world; and the success of their subversive brainwashing over the American public is proven by the fear that Christians in America and throughout the world feel preventing them from freely sharing knowledge in public about the only true God's only son, Jesus Christ, the savior of the world. That is how lies and death and misery are spread throughout the generations. America serves the anti-Christ agenda of the Rothschilds and the nation state of Israel and all their Edomite ilk. What can Americans do to make the American government serve God's interests for Americans and the world? What can Americans do, because when Americans have tried in the past, their government murdered them. And the chaos is sowed by the Satanic foreigners who are constantly subverting all nations. The Satanists are of the lineage of Esau, yet they claim to be of the lineage of Jacob. God loved Jacob and hated Esau, because Esau completely rejected everything that God commanded, and Esau forsook his inheritance by marrying three wicked Hittite women, and Esau sold his inheritance to Jacob for a bowl of Jacob's lentil soup... and all throughout the Scriptures, God rejects the lineage of Esau, the Edomites, even as those Edomite hoodwinkers were rejected by every nation throughout history -- until their Satanic death cult found its roots in those people in the leadership of institutions who decided to serve evil greed rather than holding to the truth. Thus succeeded, for now, the Satanic subversion perversion agenda which the Rothschilds wield by the force of THEIR American military throughout the world. -- A deceiver offers no insights about God and Jesus Christ; a deceiver may speak of God all day, but God never speaks through him. The deceiver speaks to gain honor for himself... It is better to be silent than to correct someone stubborn. Let a man say something incorrect; if he is a scholar, he will be corrected by God; if he is a fool, he will learn the error of his ways in a difficult manner. Either way, a man is corrected definitively. Say nothing when a man expects a response; ignore a man, and if he is a fool, he will confront you. Then you will see his nature; he will reveal himself in his emotion, and you will plainly see what is on his heart. Agree with a man and he will favor you; fulfill his request and he will want to be around you. ...All this because man is fickle and crude and poor; he lacks discipline and God's audience. Who among men loves Jesus Christ and God? I do not see them; where are they? Such a man is silent and reverent... and resented by others. A fool does not harbor knowledge; a wise man does not harbor folly. Ignore a man and he will wait until the depth of his heart is drained; see how long it is, and you will know his temper, because patience is of humbleness, and so the end of patience is the beginning of malice -- not arrogance, because an arrogant man tries to deceive and hide his temper, and he will be arrogant until he faces divine reprisal. Listen to Jesus Christ and you will see God. -- If the blood of the beast is money, what is the brain of the beast? -- Everything is history. History is everything. -- Do you want information, guidance, and comfort from God or from what God created? Do you see all these assertions and requests? Which one of them honors God's Christ? God is in control irrelevant to anyone or anything existing. So if you are going to rebel, rebel against the synagogue of Satan's subversive social slave systems. And the only way to do this is by listening to Jesus Christ who now reigns in Heaven and has all authority in Heaven and on Earth. What skill grants me the ability to learn from God? Life is not about what people can do, but about what God can do, which is anything. "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." "Who then can be saved?" "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible." -- Let people reject the truth. Which is more valuable: a person or truth? -- If you do not do it, someone else is going to have to do it. -- Every human is mortal. "I tell you the truth, whoever adheres to my command will never see death." What is the value of a plan in the mind of a creature? It is a waste of time and thought. "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails." "Has not The Lord Almighty determined that the people labor in vain, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing, that the work of their hands is only fuel for the fire? Because the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Note Genesis 1.) God can work in every possible situation. So what is the purpose of comfort? Bring on the suffering. who cares? God can do anything and work in any situation; what is life to God? There is one thing that will be forever, so long as there is God and creation: misery. As long as there are two minds, there can be no happiness, but only a chasing after wind. But happiness does not matter; all that matters is that God is in control. God does not change, and creation is of weakness, so God will always be in control. There is your comfort -- now continue dying. The Earth is large enough to sustain everyone who ever lived and will ever live. In fact, it does and will. But most people have already returned to earth. The mind of a man: so much potential, yet no power. Futility in a "nutshell". Should my words be read? Thank you for the honor, how lovely, now get back to your life. Oh, by the way, are you going to listen to Jesus Christ? Shall I sit and write all day to an audience nonexistant? If words were enough for a man, he would have no legs or arms. If time were enough for man, he would have no will. No time can justify or fulfill a man's will; the will of man is a chasing after the wind; desire is useless, unfulfillable, and fleeting. With the failure of the mind comes the failure of desire, and hope is for fools, and feelings are for blind guides, and construction tames the loser. Look, the work of a man's hands is an excuse for evil. God created Earth as pleasant, but everything man touches is a disaster, and even a man's own mind shames himself. Is man a temple? Yes, he is a temple to disaster. Listen and learn, and you are not special. Be silent, and if you eat and drink Jesus Christ's body and blood, then you have gained your life; the more the man submits himself to Jesus Christ, the more special Jesus Christ makes that man. Words, languages -- how tragic. Communication -- what a waste of effort! Everyone loses in the end. Take the time to learn, but does it matter? You have limited time to gain life: make haste! Seize the moment to learn from God, because tomorrow he demands your life from you. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." -- Music is a product of pain. -- Answering machine recording: Hello, friend. I am unable to answer the phone now. People communicate as assertions and requests, and desire information, guidance, and comfort, but only God and Jesus Christ is trustworthy. History is everything, and everything is history. Write this down, then talk to me. Revelation 2:9, 3:9. Genesis 25:19-26:5, 26:34-28:22. Psalm 82. Malachi 1-2:12. Amos 5:21-6:1. Acts 7:43. John 8:31-32, 1:47-51. Luke 16:8-15, 17:20-25. A dishonest man rejects freedom and truth for slavery and evils, thus gaining nothing and losing himself, as the Rothschilds have 500 trillion dollars. Deny globalist government by entering the kingdom of Heaven. Esau forsook his lineage and God, and his subversive descendants lift up the star of Saturn on their Israeli flag of Zion and deceive the nations by lies and murder like their father Satan, a messenger who hates God and Jesus Christ. Now leave your message. -- Take a break from the stressful fears and worries in life. Relax and be refreshed by immersing yourself in the words of Jesus Christ. The genius one desires your attention now. -- With each passing day, the unpunished atrocities of those Satan worshipers who call themselves Jews steadily increase worldwide alongside desensitization of the public and demoralization of men, and the employed go about their work like frogs swimming in a pot of gradually heating water. A man who kills once can be forgiven. A man who kills twice has outlived rational leeway. Bill Gates has killed billions of people. The Rothschild family has killed billions of people. Justice would demand killing Bill Gates at least a billion times, but that cannot happen, so you see, there can never be balance. The only rational decision indicates mortal punishment. Or are you waiting for God to bring death to them instead? I know you will not accept what I say no matter what I say -- stubbornness is common to all adults. No one wants to hear about Justice or Truth, and no one is willing to accept their service to Justice or Truth. No, you would rather rely on God to do everything -- don't you know that God allows you to breathe at any given moment, and that he can at any time rescind and deny your life from you? "But if God wanted men to kill murderers, why did God tell his angels to not kill murderers?" The answer to that question is addressed within the parable and the anecdotes where God did have angels kill murderers, and explained again by Jesus Christ rebuking his disciples. God does not want men to die, not even murderers to die, and that is why God takes time bringing the swiftly-approaching disaster to the wicked. God wants evildoers to repent of evil; certainly he knows whether they will do so or not, and how much condemnation he will permit them to bring upon themselves prior to his demanding their lives from them. And everyone should know by now that God can make a person suffer with vastly greater severity and duration than anything the wicked could exercise -- and Jesus Christ took upon himself all that eternal punishment while on the cross, literally the worst physical and spiritual and mental and emotional suffering to ever exist in simultaneity, then made himself die there and later rise back to life. You don't need any other options. "My grace is sufficient for you, because my power has been accomplished in weakness." Murder is a waste of time; the longer a murderer works his wickedness, the greater his quickly-approaching eternal torment, and the longer a murderer lives, the more guilt he has for not accepting the free and only option at eternal life: believing in Jesus Christ. Let God manage the value of human life -- each of our lifetimes on his footstool and beyond. No one wants to die, but each of us has our entire lifetime to learn what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ. That is why there is no real Justice in murder -- because God's plan is higher than men's lives. -- Let me tell you a secret. This is the political solution. God and Jesus Christ gave the political solution all along. Each soul must be its own government armed with the sword given to him by Jesus Christ, and each soul will be held accountable to God and Jesus Christ for his own actions. Consensus was never necessary. Be your own government, because you will face your own consequences alone. Stop being a defeatest slave! Listen to Jesus Christ. -- Quick Money Facts 1) The Rothschild family alone has $500000000000000 and gains millions more per day from bank transaction fees alone. Their family alone has enough money to comfortably feed, clothe, and shelter every human on Earth. 2) I am in the lowest tax bracket, which means I make less than $9500 per year of taxable income. Between you and me, it is actually virtually nothing, and I have no job and am perpetually unemployed. 3) People ask me to give them money so that they can buy alcohol and drugs. And when I try to give anyone information to help them, no one wants to hear what I say. Maybe you are smart enough to answer my question: do I live in a society of ignorant slaves? -- Liars + Facts = Lies -- Deism is simply another doctrine founded by arrogance and folly -- it is a lie told by those who worship demons. "Whoever comes to me will find out whether I speak on my own or if I [have been sent by God]." -- USA was founded by deceitful Satanists who publicly called themselves Deists to avoid being exiled from Christian society. Those deceivers included the freemasons Thomas Paine (who coined the phrase "The United States of America" and compelled George Washington and associates to fight the Revolutionary War in America), Benjamin Franklin (a famous freemason), George Washington (an immature politician), Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, et al. The United States of America was not "founded upon Judeo-Christian principles", and the assertion that it was has been a deliberate lie that the United States government has falsely schooled the public into parroting. God was deliberately voted-out by the founders, whose anti-Christian desires led to their using the same inclusivity entrapment tactic of "religious liberty" in the government's foundational doctrines which King James II had used to deceitfully welcome back the control of Rome in England in 1688 for which he was deposed. The American public's ignorance among their nation's incessant arrogance formed a diseased stench in warlike fervor and disgraceful hypocrisy, and it behooves the public to completely overhaul their government, lest the abomination continue its global atrocities until the end. (Compare the trojan horse backdoor doctrine of "religious liberty" with what Jesus Christ will say as Jesus Christ quoted in Luke 19:27, "Furthermore, these enemies of mine, those who have not been willing for me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me," and with what Jesus Christ said while rebuking Peter, "Get behind me Satan! You do not have in mind the interests of God but the interests of men.") "The Holocaust" is a lie orchestrated and perpetuated by deceitful Satanists who publicly call themselves Jews. The term "anti-semite" was crafted to irrationally stigmatize opposition to the subversion and control over civilizations across the world in order to censor any challenges to the Satanists' global conquest and global control structure. Adolf Hitler promoted Christianity and considered himself a Christian, and the NSDAP (disparagingly labeled as "NAZI" party) movement actively advocated Christianity, responsible behavior in society (a rebranding of Greek "socialism", unrelated to Marxian socialism), and independent commerce and the value of a person's ancestry. Because Hitler's Germany worked for independence from the Satanic global control structure, the Satanists libeled Germany and murdered the German people. The Satanic global control structure is an agenda for world conquest. These evildoers lie and murder every day across the world in order to persecute innocents and, specifically, Christians and those who know enough to challenge their enslavement of Earth. The Satanists in their false religious doctrinal texts promise each of the arrogant people in their nation state called Zionist Israel 2800 personal slaves from among the world population to rape and whip like their Satanic people did with their slave trade and on their sugar and cotton plantations in the American colonies. The Satanists who call themselves Jews have controlled every public institution through their financial systems owned by the Rothschild family, which alone has an estimated 500 trillion dollars and earns millions of dollars each day merely from bank transaction fees, which is enough money to comfortably feed, clothe, and shelter every human on Earth. Meanwhile, the members of the public steal from and kill each other to get enough money to buy alcohol and drugs. The public is enslaved by Satanists. Through the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission, the Satanists own all media; in fact, Satanists run the entire system, which is a fake social hierarchy that keeps the public impoverished (poor), deluded (deceived), and under the firm control of Satanism. Their father Satan was a liar and murderer from the beginning, and that is what these Satanists continue to exercise every day on God's footstool. The American public spends the first 18 years of their lives being forced to learn lies, and only a few spend the next 18 years of their lives learning the hidden truth. [The truth is usually hidden. And it is difficult for most people to learn that people are untrustworthy because of dishonesty in men's thoughts to God.] Unfortunately, the majority of those in the age of majority prefers being controlled by lying murderers because dishonesty seems safer and easier than the responsibility that comes with knowing the truth. "This is the verdict: light has entered the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. [...]" [Their deeds were dishonest because they were dishonest in their hearts to God. So they chose to favor deceit rather than honor the truth. It is the same with everyone: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to honor themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." So arrogance begets dishonesty, and after enslavement to arrogance comes enslavement to folly. And all forms of evils lead to death. God requires honesty, discipline guides to survival, and eternal life is knowledge of the only true God and Christ.] -- Society has become engulfed in fables. Therefore, I should presume that everything that is taught to the public since childhood is a lie. When I was in public school, I innately sensed the fallacy of what I was told to learn. I tried to ask why I should learn such things, but men refused to hear it. Sadly, all my experiences in life have brought me to conclude that most people, despite their few variegations, will neither desire nor deserve a valid comprehension of reality. Only a very rare child among millions will discover the truth, yet miserably could never free anyone else from enslavement. It is a rare boy or girl that gets to understand, and then they become greater than all their contemporaries, and they live a magnificent yet agonizing life, becoming increasingly isolated from society in every way. Once a child discourses with God, the many armies of fools cannot prevent that child's glorious destiny. The brilliance of God's faithfulness is the foundation of history, and the names of Jesus Christ's souls are thereon engraved. Become a scholar of Christ -- but it will cost you your life and your self. Most people do not deserve to lose themselves to the one who created them; most are too foolish to believe the truth and understand and learn what it means to trust the only one who is trustworthy. -- The United States of America was founded by Satanists who led lodges of freemasonry. "It is the fable of Jesus Christ, as told in the New Testament, and the wild and visionary doctrine raised thereon, against which I contend. The story, taking it as it is told, is blasphemously obscene." -- Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason", Truth Seeker Co., 1898 Edition, page 138. "Original sin was as ridiculous as imputed righteousness." -- Benjamin Franklin "The club... allegedly took part in basic forms of satanic worship. In addition to taking part in the occult, orgies and parties with prostitutes were also said to be the norm." -- Associated Content, "Ben Franklin and His Membership in the Hellfire Club: Founding Father or Satanic Killer?" by MF. "Among the sayings and discourses imputed to Him... I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence... and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism and imposture... I separate therefore the gold from the dross... and leave the latter to the stupidity of some, and roguery of others of His disciples. Of this band of dupes and imposters, Paul was the... first corruptor of the doctrines of Jesus..." -- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Short, April 13, 1820. "And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin... will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding... and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines..." -- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823. "These are what are called revolution principles. They are the principles of Aristotle and Plato... the principles of nature and eternal reason." -- John Adams, "Novanglus & Massachusettensis", or Political Essays, page 12. "...The Pythagorean, as well as the Platonic philosophers, probably concurred in the fabrication of the Christian Trinity." -- John Adams, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, December 25, 1813. "The Europeans are all deeply tainted with prejudices... which they can never get rid of. They are all infected with... creeds, and confessions of faith. They all believe that great Principle (God) which has produced this boundless universe... came down to this little ball (earth), to be spit upon by Jews... And until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there never will be any liberal science in the world." -- John Adams, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, January 22, 1825, Emphasis added. "...the founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels... When the war was over... the Constitution was framed and God was neglected. He was not merely forgotten. He was absolutely voted out of the Constitution. The proceedings, as published by Thompson, the secretary... show that the question was gravely debated whether God should be in the Constitution or not... and after a solemn debate he was deliberately voted out of it..." -- Dr. Bird Wilson, as cited by John E. Remsberg, "Six Historic Americans", page 120. "...President Washington, the first time he ever came in treaty with a non-Christian people (Tripoli)... sent to the Senate... a treaty which opened with the following... 'As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion'... There is the statement... from the great Washington." -- Moncure D. Conway: Addresses and Reprints, 1850-1907, page 347. "The Rev. Dr. Wilson, in his famous sermon on the Religion of the Presidents... says: 'When the Congress sat in Philadelphia, President Washington attended the Episcopal church. The rector, Dr. Abercrombie, told me that on the days when the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was to be administered... Washington's custom was to rise just before the ceremony commenced... and walk out of the church.'" -- "Six Historic Americans", by John E. Remsburg "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature... Let these be guidestones to an age of reason." -- The Georgia Guidestones (for the Satanists' New World Order of Globalist World Government). -- May 1, 2021: Hello, I hope you have been well. I have been studying, and recently, I have concluded that history is mostly the opposite of what the public is taught in school. I will present you with some of this information now. Literature abounds about these topics, but some info has been purged. USA was not founded "upon Judeo-Christian principles". The Puritans and most people in the American colonies were Christians, but USA as a nation was founded by anti-Christ freemason Satanists deceitfully claiming to be Deists. Thomas Paine, Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Franklin and others wanted to eradicate Christianity... and the tactic of legislating "religious liberty" they learned from King James II in 1688 as a way of legalizing their Satanism. The Rockefellers and Rothschilds control all money and nations. Rockefellers are the shadow government in USA and Rothschilds, who are estimated to have $500000000000000 historically control things more internationally and do not care so much about resources as geopolitics. In WW1, the Balfour Declaration gave the Rothschild family Palestine as a home for the Satanists' anti-Christ nation state "Israel". Their lineage is mostly through Esau, not Jacob. See Genesis 25-28, Amos 5:21-6:1, Malachi 1-2:12, Acts 7:43, and Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. The nickname "Jew" emerged between 16th and 18th centuries, and Edomite Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860, when they started to claim inheritance on global stage in the area of Palestine. It is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew, or a contemporary Jew an Israelite or Hebrew. (Jewish almanac 1980, page 3.) Note that the Satanists subvert and take over every society that does not identify and constantly expel them, as they did in Jesus' time as teachers of law and do in the West. "Israel" had their Cuban mafia murder JFK for exposing the nukes in Israel. "Israel" did 9/11. "Israel" runs all major governments for Satanic world conquest. Satanist "Jews" (again, see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9) founded the pornography industry, perpetrated the worst invasion on record as the holodomor and bolshevik revolution, took over media as Reuters and the public school and medical systems to control minds and bodies of the public, were pioneers in vaccination before which cancer was exceptionally rare, staged and financed every major war and revolution and act of terror in the past 2000 years, and ran the slave and sex abuse and sugar and cotton industries in America, while using their deliberate proven strategy of taking for themselves indigenous names to blend in and avoid being expelled like they notably were over 1000 times from over 130 places around the world on account of their wickedness. They are doing this COVID genocidal agenda, and when their false messiah comes, each fake jew is promised 2800 goy slaves to rape and whip again... Adolf Hitler was a Christian, or at least was raised Catholic and promoted Christianity. He was voted into office through the NSDAP and wanted Germany out from under Satanist control. He was an artist and designed the party flag based upon a swastika, which he saw on a church archway, an ancient symbol representing good. (The hexagonal star on the Israeli flag, deceptively termed star of David, is most likely the star of pagan demon Saturn, a variant on the name Satan, and is an ancient symbol representing evil, and was on the battle shields of Edomite descendants of Khazar, and God rebukes that star of Remphan in Amos...) Many have admitted and forensically determined that the holocaust is a fiction, and despite overwhelming evidence, the lie is so central to the Satanists' narrative that in several countries, questioning it is punishable by imprisonment or exile. Racism and antisemitism were labels coined (I think by Marxists) to stifle and avoid answering questions about what Satanic "Jews" do and have done, as a former Israeli PM admitted. Several family friends were scientists in operation paperclip. They have mostly passed away. Einstein was a newcomer to the scene, more involved in politics, whereas others before him had done the work and lobbied to not drop the atomic bomb. Nagasaki had the largest cathedral in the orient. Hiroshima had the largest Protestant church in the orient and it was the point of entry for Christian missionaries. The father of the atom bomb was a "Jew" named J Robert Oppenheimer, and Einstein and his Jewish friends Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner convinced the president to make it. WW2 was actually a Satanist "Jew" attack on Christians, and those who served as Western allies were duped into mass murdering their own brothers and sisters. And in my frank opinion, the propaganda on both "sides" was quite absurd. Notably, Germany banned critical publications such as certain issues of the magazine Historische Tatsachen to avoid past troubles with demoralization. Subversion stages are: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, normalization. The public narratives are all theatre, such as liberal vs conservative and left vs right. I collected about 190 videos that show election fraud in the 2020 election, but Trump played for the same team anyway so voter fraud does not even matter -- it was mere subversion which is psychological warfare. What is popular and conservative is controlled opposition. Two more interesting things to briefly mention: the Biefeld-Brown Effect reveals a "classified" realm of physics regarding electricity and gravity, used with Alien Reproduction Vehicles and wormholes, which unfortunately have been used for interplanetary resource siphoning. That and drone and satellite mounted directed energy weapons damage the atmosphere and were used to exacerbate the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Seeding can be used to pacify hurricanes, but the gov does not want the liability were it to not always work as expected. Moon landing was either rehearsed or forged in Nevada desert like most NASA space travel videos using rockets. NASA has huge facilities that produce rainclouds... I know that eventually, the other shoe will drop. Revelation 11:17-18; Luke 19:27. On a side note, I am working on my own version of the bible using the interlinear Hebrew and Greek texts. And I am working on some socioeconomic doctrines. I look forward to sharing these later. Fun times. Don't be weighed down by the dissipations and anxieties of life. And please do not let them inject you with anything nasty... I won't alarm you with details of what people have seen and the crazy things happening to people, but... a microscope is a fine tool if I do say so myself. Happy May! One last thing I should probably mention that slipped my mind. I heard through the grapevine a warning that the alarm bell for thermonuclear war is the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple by the Satanists. I have not investigated that but I mention it for thought. Something about rebuilding Solomon's Temple being the signal for a planned worldwide nuclear war. [This would be to cull the population to 500 million as outlined on the Satanists' Georgia Guidestones.] Not sure if that info is useful to you at all. These bad rich people have a bad habit of getting their way. But it seems like they are dying off. And they have some kind of weird cloning program going on. Madness. The truth is usually hidden. And it is difficult for most people to learn that people are untrustworthy because of dishonesty in men's thoughts to God. Unfortunately, the majority of those in the age of majority prefers being controlled by lying murderers because dishonesty seems safer and easier than the responsibility that comes with knowing the truth. "This is the verdict: light has entered the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. [...]" Their deeds were dishonest because they were dishonest in their hearts to God. So they chose to favor deceit rather than honor the truth. It is the same with everyone: "Whoever speaks on their own does so to honor themselves, but whoever speaks to honor the one who sent him is a man of truth in whom there is nothing false." So arrogance begets dishonesty, and after enslavement to arrogance comes enslavement to folly. And all forms of evils lead to death. God requires honesty, discipline guides to survival, and eternal life is knowledge of the only true God and Christ. I also learned that the only three or four billionaire bankers who were competitors with the Satanic cabal bankers were all conveniently on the Titanic and went down with the ship. I can think of a few sour jokes about that, such as "don't put all your eggs in one basket" and "there is no low to which the Satanists will not sink." -- So... The Holocaust is a fiction; Adolf Hitler was a Christian. The Cuban Mafia killed JFK, keeping Israeli nukes from light of day. The Titanic killed four bankers. Rockefellers own news anchors. And the Rothschilds' 500 trillion, Georgia Guidestones 500 million, Keep the public in a haze, cowards living out their days. '28 hundred goy slaves for each Jew,' the rabbi raves. Satan's Zionists did 9/11; such dishonesty is under Heaven! USA was founded by Satanists. Jewish porn and rape is just wasting us. Demoralized, destabilized, subversive crisis normalized. All the children memorize lies while government denies Genocidal immigration: fake Jews war against white nations. Their deceit corrupts and chains your soul; trusting God and Christ should be your goal. Everyone is fast asleep. Now leave your message at the beep. -- Well, 2 points I would like to make here. 1) Violence does not win hearts and minds. 2) "Not by force or by might, but by my spirit," declares The Lord. However, violence will come anyway, just as death comes. "There is no peace for the wicked." "Do you want us to go and pull them up?" "No, because..." -- There is a political solution. It is the same solution that God has taught all along. Be your own government, "one human under God". You alone will be held accountable for your own actions. Only Christ can save you. That is the lesson here. -- Ignorance, apathy, and pacifism are safe... ...until you are shot and your life flashes before your eyes and you cry yourself to sleep because your entire life accomplished nothing in the end. Keep praying, slaves. The older adult generations had their entire lives to do something meaningful. They had their chance to accept the truth. Instead, they grew comfortable with wickedness and laziness. Now it's my turn to change the world. Who is with me? -- "I have learned that trying to convince a person about the truth is a waste of time and effort that could be better spent spreading knowledge to those who are interested in knowing the truth." -- Walliczek "Do something worthy of your time." -- Falby -- Do not dawdle under the pyramid of fake social hierarchy when you see it about to collapse. Be among the first redeemed from its bottom by the truth. -- Television and radio are stages and what is conveyed on them is therefore staged -- by someone. -- Truth is the difference between a free man and a slave. -- What is a decision anyway? And there is no such thing as happiness. That is how people say that happiness is imaginary... is it not? Therefore, the phrase "happily ever after" is marketing for that which does not make a person happy. In fact, if a person were to be happy, then they would be sad. And sadness does never not exist. There is always sadness, but happiness is a lure, and futile like chasing after wind. This is the crux of a decision: should I chase after happiness? A person can have everything they need and freely have anything they want, and even do whatever they want to do, but that is not happiness. The reason for this ultimate sadness is that man was not created to serve himself, but to become a god. Innately to our physical being is the nature that we are designed to become greater, and that our duty is to grow according to God's discipline, and that this age is a ramp of learning from God. "But I, after I have risen, will draw all men to myself." Everyone is called to become a son of God. (This society has allowed itself to become so butchered that these people have no idea of what I write.) "God alone is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." Jesus Christ did enough; and communicating is an action. The treachery of mortals is disgraceful beyond imagining. Helpless and weak and perverse, we humans desire everything but fail in everything. "Oh foolish and slow of heart to believe on the basis of all that the prophets have spoken, was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?" (Luke 24:25-26). Temptation has one purpose: to promote evil. Evil has one purpose: to harm you and everyone and everything else that God created. Various forms of evil are merely excuses to promote that purpose. Accept the only real safety: Jesus Christ. That means rejecting the evils that come from the hearts (inner thoughts) of men. The "choice" if there were one is this: if you accept your own destruction, then God will give you what you want; if you want Jesus Christ to rule over you, then God will give you what you want. "God alone is good." I am on this footstool for a reason. "The work of God is to believe in the one he sent." I see three paths. God gives me options. In my writing this, I have chosen one of them. Some day, I will no longer testify as to what I have seen. I am rebellious, but I did not start that way; only after I saw into the hearts of men and compared that to God did I learn to rebel -- against men. Men do not see what God sees, and unfortunately, men do not think what God thinks. All possible insight comes from God, who freely gives everything. I was shown to operate as a child; people cling to their own motives and hide themselves from Jesus Christ like Adam and Eve hid from Jesus Christ in his garden. Maybe I should accept that only God will ever know my thoughts. But that is what I wanted: I wanted my thoughts to be private between me and Jesus Christ. Sin is like an "elephant in the room", a nasty ball on a chain that a man places around his own ankle. Oh gravity, show me what it means to trust in God and Jesus Christ! "I might as well" lie down and sleep and never rise again. Should I show men a path to freedom? Why bother? They didn't even listen to Jesus Christ! Of course they won't listen to me -- and if they do, what an insult and disgrace! How do I commit every ounce of my being to God and Jesus Christ? Someone please tell me. Someone please show me. I am a visual learner. (Laugh.) I know nobody cares what I say or write; they are all immersed in themselves. Meanwhile, everyone grows older. Fear is marketing for escapism; fear is only your imagination. Reality is greater than you could imagine. Certainly there are dangers to your life. But what is danger? God is Almighty. We learn the concept of safety when we learn to walk; when we fall over, we learn to accept gravity. If I climb a ladder, am I in danger? God holds every breath and so... when am I not in danger? How can I be in any greater danger than I always am? Logic does not account for death except on the basis that God is in control over all life and death. If folly takes me, so be it. If any other evil gives God one of any number of infinite excuses he already has to demand from me my life, well then pick your poison, God. God can do anything to me. Isn't that scary? But God can do to me what I could not think of or imagine. It is even written that no man has seen what God has in store for those who love him. Sorry, but what a joke. The author must have excluded Jesus Christ from that equation of eyes and ears, you know, Jesus Christ, the one who is preparing a place for those people? I am done. What else can I be? Everyone is a condescending judge. I feel like a pioneer in that practice. Look again at line 12 in this text file. It is written on the back of my left hand. Me: What a joke [life is]. God: It is no joke. I asked Jesus Christ to handle everything for me, and he did. Now I am too depressed to speak anymore. Leave me in darkness, Father, I deserve nothing. Life is like an ocean. I stand on the shore. I fear the waves. They took me before. I entertain a thought of bravery. Here comes the wave. I cannot proceed without you. You watch behind me to save. This is ridiculous. ... Me: Here, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ: It took you long enough. -- Media is a stage of theatre. Reality is messy. -- Gun control means slavery. The "Jews" want gun control, so the dual-citizen Israeli-US corporate government representatives promote it. -- USA ceased to be a nation when it filed for bankruptcy. It became a globalist corporation. Thus all laws and actions since have been by the chief executive officer of the shadow government: Rockefellers and Rothschilds. Our people's cultural beliefs and ways of life are almost entirely based on pleasant fictions. At the top of this fake social hierarchy pyramid sits a Satanic family, and their people call themselves Jews, but they and their nation state Israel are a cursed lineage of Esau and they even explain that they do not believe in the same God described in the Holy Bible. These Satanists tell so many lies throughout the world. Next time you hear some public narrative, find the "Jewish" connection. I guarantee you it will not be difficult. Now you are informed. And even Jesus Christ said that money is slavery. "No one can serve two masters." Slaves don't want to listen... Vaccines contain some of the most toxic substances known to man, injected into the bloodstream which goes straight to the vital organs. Lethal injection is mandated by law because it gives the Satanists trillions of taxpayer dollars with zero liability, as ritual child sacrifice to the demon Moloch. Ingredients in normal vaccines feature: aborted fetal cells, mercury, aluminum, e coli, polysorbate 20 and 80, animal parts, EDTA, spermicide, insect cells, latex rubber, monkey kidney cells, pig blood, sorbitol, detergent, beta-propiolactone, GMO yeast, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, GMO soy, monosodium glutamate, barium... And much, much worse in newer mRNA GMO drugs like the COVID injection. Satanic "Jews" and atheists started and run the vaccine industry which is intended to cull the goy herd, that is, to mass murder... Human life is the carbon emission the Satanic elite cabal wants to cut down to 500 million, as they carved in the Georgia Guidestones. USA weaponized typhoid, lyme disease, AIDS, smallpox, SARS, et cetera. Now you know that the US corporate government has always been evil. -- On the cross, Jesus Christ suffered torment greater than eternity in Hell multiplied times every soul to ever exist who would believe in him. He was made a mockery of, betrayed by his students and friends, abandoned by God, and left all alone. He then ended his own life. His heroic pure obedience to God bestowed a covenant of free eternal life to everyone who accepts him in their heart. After three days, he brought himself back to life again. "Because I live, you also will live." -- If you want a cure for cancer, and if you want to heal more quickly, consider ingesting a yeast beta-glucan supplement every so often. But be careful, because you may have an issue with Crohn's disease if you have been vaccinated with a vaccine that uses yeast as an adjuvant. Anyway... -- Source: https://garsoor.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/the-united-states-of-america-is-a-corporation-owned-by-foreign-interests/ Below are two articles covering the fact that, since the Act of 1871 which established the District of Columbia, we have been living under the UNITED STATES CORPORATION which is owned by certain international bankers and aristocracy of Europe and Britain. In 1871 the Congress changed the name of the original Constitution by changing ONE WORD -- and that was very significant as you will read. Some people do not understand that ONE WORD or TWO WORDS difference in any "legal" document DO make the critical difference. But, Congress has known, and does know, this. I'm told this corporation, established in 1871, will be cancelled by NESARA and NESARA will also restore the ORIGINAL Constitution which assists in restoring our Constitutional Rights and the Bill of Rights and our rights as described in the Declaration of Independence. 1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871* With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62). The act -- passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War -- was a strategic move by foreign interests (international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America. Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (specifically Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation without serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States. The Act of 1871 formed a corporation called THE UNITED STATES. The corporation, OWNED by foreign interests, moved in and shoved the original Constitution into a dustbin. With the Act of 1871, the organic Constitution was defaced -- in effect vandalized and sabotage -- when the title was capitalized and the word "for" was changed to "of" in the title. * Info from yet unpublished book, "Pentimento: Freedom Revisited." As you will see when reading, just as much of my knowledge of the Trading with the Enemy Act came from Gene Schroder, et al. this, too, came from elsewhere -- from Lisa Guilian of Babel Magazine, whom I first "met" by way of an article by Patrick Bellringer. So, we cooperate as we study and learn the truth. C. E. THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is the constitution of the incorporated UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it governs the Republic. It does is not! Capitalization is NOT insignificant when one is referring to a legal document. This seemingly "minor" alteration has had a major impact on every subsequent generation of Americans. What Congress did by passing the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia, an INCORPORATED government. This newly altered Constitution was not intended to benefit the Republic. It benefits only the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and operates entirely outside the original (organic) Constitution. Instead of having absolute and unalienable rights guaranteed under the organic Constitution, we the people now have "relative" rights or privileges. One example is the Sovereign's right to travel, which has now been transformed (under corporate government policy) into a "privilege" that requires citizens to be licensed. By passing the Act of 1871, Congress committed TREASON against the People who were Sovereign under the grants and decrees of the Declaration of Independence and the organic Constitution. [Information courtesy of Lisa Guliani, http://www.babelmagazine.com. The Act of 1871 became the FOUNDATION of all the treason since committed by government officials.] The UNITED STATES Isn't a Country - It's a Corporation! In preparation for stealing America, the puppets of Britain's banking cabal had already created a second government, a Shadow Government designed to manage what the common herd believed was a democracy, but what really was an incorporated UNITED STATES. Together this chimera, this two-headed monster, disallowed the common herd all rights of sui juris. [sovereignty] Congress, with no authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten-mile square parcel of land. WHY and HOW did they do so? First, Lisa Guliani of Babel Magazine, reminds us that the Civil War was, in fact, "little more than a calculated front with fancy footwork by backroom players." Then she adds: "It was also a strategic maneuver by British and European interests (international bankers) intent on gaining a stranglehold on the coffers of America. And, because Congress knew our country was in dire financial straits, certain members of Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (in those days, the Rothschilds of London were dipping their fingers into everyone's pie). . . . . There you have the WHY, why members of Congress permitted the international bankers to gain further control of America. . . . . . "Then, by passing the Act of 1871, Congress formed a corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, shoved the organic version of the Constitution aside by changing the word 'for' to 'of' in the title. Let me explain: the original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers read: 'The Constitution for the united states of America.' [note that neither the words 'united' nor 'states' began with capital letters] But the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' is a corporate constitution, which is absolutely NOT the same document you think it is. First of all, it ended all our rights of sovereignty [sui juris]. So you now have the HOW, how the international bankers got their hands on THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." To fully understand how our rights of sovereignty were ended, you must know the full meaning of sovereign: SOVEREIGN "Chief or highest, supreme power, superior in position to all others; independent of and unlimited by others; possessing or entitled to; original and independent authority or jurisdiction." -Webster- In short, our government, which was created by and for us as sovereigns -- free citizens deemed to have the highest authority in the land -- was stolen from us, along with our rights. Keep in mind that, according to the original Constitution, only We the People are sovereign. Government is not sovereign. The Declaration of Independence says, "government is subject to the consent of the governed." That's us -- the sovereigns. When did you last feet like a sovereign? As Lisa Guliani explained: "It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a constitutional historian to figure out that the U.S. Government has NOT been subject to the consent of the governed since long before you or I were born. Rather, the governed are subject to the whim and greed of the corporation, which has stretched its tentacles beyond the ten-mile-square parcel of land known as the District of Columbia. In fact, it has invaded every state of the Republic. Mind you, the corporation has NO jurisdiction beyond the District of Columbia. You just think it does. "You see, you are 'presumed' to know the law, which is very weird since We the People are taught NOTHING about the law in school. We memorize obscure facts and phrases here and there, like the Preamble, which says, 'We the People. establish this Constitution for the United States of America.' But our teachers only gloss over the Bill of Rights. Our schools (controlled by the corporate government) don't delve into the Constitution at depth. After all, the corporation was established to indoctrinate and 'dumb-down' the masses, not to teach anything of value or importance. "Certainly, no one mentioned that America was sold-out to foreign interests, that we were beneficiaries of the debt incurred by Congress, or that we were in debt to the international bankers. Yet, for generations, Americans have had the bulk of their earnings confiscated to pay a massive debt that they did not incur. There's an endless stream of things the People aren't told. And, now that you are being told, how do you feel about being made the recipient of a debt without your knowledge or consent? "After passage of the Act of 1871, Congress set a series of subtle and overt deceptions into motion, deceptions in the form of decisions that were meant to sell us down the river. "Over time, the Republic took it on the chin until it was knocked down and counted out by a technical KO [knock out]. With the surrender of the people's gold in 1933, the 'common herd' was handed over to illegitimate law. (I'll bet you weren't taught THAT in school.) "Our corporate form of governance is based on Roman Civil Law and Admiralty, or Maritime, Law, which is also known as the 'Divine Right of Kings' and the 'Law of the Seas' -- another fact of American history not taught in our schools. Actually, Roman Civil Law was fully established in the colonies before our nation began, and then became managed by private international law. In other words, the government -- the government created for the District of Columbia via the Act of 1871 -- operates solely under Private International Law, not Common Law, which was the foundation of our Constitutional Republic. "This fact has impacted all Americans in concrete ways. For instance, although Private International Law is technically only applicable within the District of Columbia, and NOT in the other states of the Union, the arms of the Corporation of the UNITED STATES are called 'departments' -i.e., the Justice Department, the Treasury Department. And those departments affect everyone, no matter where (in what state) they live. Guess what? Each department belongs to the corporation -- to the UNITED STATES. "Refer to any UNITED STATES CODE (USC). Note the capitalization; this is evidence of a corporation, not a Republic. For example, In Title 28 3002 (15) (A) (B) (C), it is unequivocally stated that the UNITED STATES is a corporation. Translation: the corporation is NOT a separate and distinct entity; it is not disconnected from the government; it IS the government -- your government. This is extremely important! I refer to it as the 'corporate EMPIRE of the UNITED STATES,' which operates under Roman Civil Law outside the original Constitution. How do you like being ruled by a corporation? You say you'll ask your Congressperson about this? HA!! "Congress is fully aware of this deception. So it's time that you, too, become aware of the deception. What this great deception means is that the members of Congress do NOT work for us, for you and me. They work for the Corporation, for the UNITED STATES. No wonder we can't get them to do anything on our behalf, or meet or demands, or answer our questions. "Technically, legally, or any other way you want to look at the matter, the corporate government of the UNITED STATES has no jurisdiction or authority in ANY State of the Union (the Republic) beyond the District of Columbia. Let that tidbit sink in, then ask yourself, could this deception have occurred without full knowledge and complicity of the Congress? Do you think it happened by accident? If you do, you're deceiving yourself. "There are no accidents, no coincidences. Face the facts and confront the truth. Remember, you are presumed to know the law. THEY know you don't know the law or, for that matter, your history. Why? Because no concerted effort was ever made to teach or otherwise inform you. As a Sovereign, you are entitled to full disclosure of all facts. As a slave, you are entitled to nothing other than what the corporation decides to 'give' you. "Remember also that 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse.' It's your responsibility and obligation to learn the law and know how it applies to you. No wonder the corporation counted on the fact that most people are too indifferent, unconcerned, distracted, or lazy to learn what they need to know to survive within the system. We have been conditioned to let the government do our thinking for us. Now's the time to turn that around if we intend to help save our Republic and ourselves -- before it's too late. "As an instrument of the international bankers, the UNITED STATES owns you from birth to death. It also holds ownership of all your assets, of your property, even of your children. Think long and hard about all the bills taxes, fines, and licenses you have paid for or purchased. Yes, they had you by the pockets. If you don't believe it, read the 14th Amendment. See how 'free' you really are. Ignorance of the facts led to your silence. Silence is construed as consent; consent to be beneficiaries of a debt you did not incur. As a Sovereign People we have been deceived for hundreds of years; we think we are free, but in truth we are servants of the corporation. "Congress committed treason against the People in 1871. Honest men could have corrected the fraud and treason. But apparently there weren't enough honest men to counteract the lust for money and power. We lost more freedom than we will ever know, thanks to corporate infiltration of our so-called 'government.' "Do you think that any soldier who died in any of our many wars would have fought if he or she had known the truth? Do you think one person would have laid down his/her life for a corporation? How long will we remain silent? How long will we perpetuate the MYTH that we are free? When will we stand together as One Sovereign People? When will we take back what has been as stolen from the us? "If the People of America had known to what extent their trust was betrayed, how long would it have taken for a real revolution to occur? What we now need is a Revolution in THOUGHT. We need to change our thinking, then we can change our world. Our children deserve their rightful legacy -- the liberty our ancestors fought to preserve, the legacy of a Sovereign and Fully Free People." [Posted 8/27/02, http://www.babalmagazine.com/%5D From a speech in Congress in The Bankruptcy of The United States United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303. Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House: "Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913) "Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve - in which the Trustees (stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a "beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System. In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend THE FEDERAL United States CORPORATION [emphasis added] all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like any other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the federal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the private property of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral against the unpayable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred as payment to the international bankers. Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudal roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master for another." -- Genocide is the plan, only 500 million people on Earth is the goal. Why are so many people unwilling to accept the fact that they are "goyim" slaves to money run by Satanists? My dear friends, why do you never listen to Jesus Christ? God explained all this to everyone already, but I look around and I see no one who is willing to listen to Jesus Christ. Have the lying, murdering, raping Satanists won over your heart, mind, soul, and will so easily that you are unable to obey the greatest commandment (love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and will)? If you refuse the words of Life and his God, then yes, each of you will surely die. But "I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life and can no longer die; he has crossed over from death to life." How many times must I say it to you all? Yet still none of you listens. You have all gone your own ways, neglecting the only true God; you have chosen to follow Satan, the one who never holds to the truth. That is why you are all tempted to murder. Do you think that God is pleased with you for your dishonesty in your heart towards him? Are my words unclear to you? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see and ears but fail to hear? I told you to listen to Jesus Christ. That is the entirety of what every created soul needs to do. Jesus Christ explained that money is slavery. Stop using money. Jesus Christ explained that God alone is good. Stop trusting evildoers. Jesus Christ explained that he is the only teacher. Stop going to "church" and "school". Jesus Christ explained that his kingdom is not of this world. Stop obeying Satanic overlords. Jesus Christ explained that God "exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on Earth, because in these things I delight". Stop being stubborn. Jesus Christ explained that "the eye is the lamp of the body". Stop paying attention to violent media. Jesus Christ explained that "you may ask me for anything and I will do it". Stop being a coward; pray and trust God's faithfulness. Jesus Christ explained that "no one can come to me unless my Father draws him, and I will raise him up during the last day" and "no one can come to the Father except through me". Stop looking to change other people; turn your focus back to God and Jesus Christ and live with him. https://t.me/ScamdemicCovid/740 -- Is Mary / Miriam the mother of God / Christ? - No (Matthew 12:48-50; John 19:26-27) - Yes (Matthew 1:16,18,25) Jesus Christ did not have a natural birth nor a natural death. How then is he a natural man? "No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own initiative. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it back up again. This command I received from my Father." Ergo, no one killed him. Who was the sperm donor in his natural human sperm-egg conception? ...Ergo, not a natural conception/birth. So because Jesus neither was born nor died naturally, how is he a natural man? -- Dear Friend: It was nice seeing you again at [] on Thursday. Thanks for taking a few moments to talk to me during your busy workday. That was really nice of you. You mentioned that you are getting married in October. How exciting! I wish you all the best with your noble endeavor. When you described your move as "an adventure," I thought to myself, "adventures are temporary". Perhaps that was inapt. I have experience that may be of benefit to you in this wonderful life-changing decision your family is undertaking. Naturally you take your marriage very seriously, so you should have no problem considering a bit of unsolicited advice even from a stranger like me. But don't let my cautionary statements discourage you! There is a very important saying, "Marry the right person; this decision will determine 95% of your happiness or misery in life." Marriage can be wonderful and necessary, but it can also be horrible. The frame of mind and expectations of both you and your spouse going into marriage matter. People have different conceptions of marriage and what it means and involves. Fundamentally, marriage is about conceiving and raising your own children. (Never cede this responsibility to strangers, neighbors, the television, the government, a school, etc.) Marriage is an intentional permanent contract between two people who want to invest their entire lives in each other; it involves a great depth and wide variety of pain, and hopefully joy. Relationships are difficult anyway. Marriage is not to be entered into lightly. If you are afraid, or uncertain, or apprehensive, these are your personal alarm bells warning you of danger; do not ignore them, because many marriages were a living hell after these senses were ignored. Once you sign that contract and take those vows, there is no turning back. Marriage affects not just you and your spouse, but your parents and grandparents, your children, your grandchildren, your neighbors, your workplace, your friends, and everyone who will ever be around you or anyone else in your family, or others, to the second and third generation and beyond. Marriage will change you in both subtle and big ways; make sure you change for the better. You both must be absolutely certain: you owe it to yourself and to all those other people. The worst possible relationship is slavery -- a relationship with a controlling person. If someone is going to manipulate you, he will make himself wonderful until the moment of marriage, and then he will flip like a switch and ruin your life. Be careful. Ask yourself these questions: is marriage my own idea; am I really going to be happy to be around, and be intimate with, this one person exclusively for the rest of my life; do I feel like he is controlling me; do we have a successful history and future plans in which we are working together to help other people; do I really know that he really loves me; and does he bring me to a good place when I am truly honest with him (or is his goal to change me to please himself)? These kinds of manipulators I warn you about are all about persuading others to get their own way with them. You must actively avoid such people to the best of your ability; their dishonesty and selfishness will destroy you and your dreams and be an absolute nightmare on your family. Plus, you will find yourself inadvertently imitating them. Please don't be that victim. I warn you from my life. Fortunately, bad habits can be overcome often with merely a slight shift to a positive and divine viewpoint. I have some personal horror stories including regarding one of my uncles and even my parents. I also have many success stories. Really, all you need to do is be honest in your heart to God and Jesus Christ, and he will handle all this for you. Real honesty is so rare, and marriage is so very serious! If you are headstrong and independent, the last thing you want is to be a slave to someone who wants to use you for the rest of your life. That is not love. If you are serious about marriage, use a prenuptial agreement first, regardless. Marriage is not about sex; it is not a license for sex. Marriage is not escapism, nor is it a travel ticket. (If you want to get away, just pack up and drive somewhere.) Marriage is also not a social status of independence. (Don't get married because your peers or siblings or parents tell you.) Marriage is almost the opposite of leaving society -- it is essentially taking on a different role in society. Do not enter into marriage if either of you wants something from the other. This point is tricky, but you can think of it this way: without benefits, are you willing to suffer with this person for the rest of your life? (If they slip into an indefinite coma the moment after you are married, what would you do?) Think carefully and honestly: where would be the breaking point of your love and desire to be around this person? If you can identify that, then you can make preparations to have that point never come. Everything is history, and all time is investment. Your lifetime is limited; do something worth your time. Be honest in your heart to God and submit to Jesus Christ and he will take care of you more than anyone else could. I was apprehensive about my move from New Jersey to Delaware, and when I was praying in church, an angel came to me and told me, "The Lord takes care of his own," and that is wherever they are. When I was a graduate teaching assistant in college for my master's degree, I saw that my professor and I were spending a great deal of time after class grading papers. On several occasions, I had the distinct impression that his wife was going to leave him. I did not know what to say to him without causing offense. I guess some people just have to learn things the hard way. Years later, I called him and asked about his family, and he said that he was divorced, that his wife left him and moved on with another man. I told him that I had a sense of that when we were working together and when I met his family at some of the parties they had hosted for the department, and that he probably could have spent less time at work. When I told my mother about this matter, she said that many marriages were broken because of this kind of situation -- a spouse spending too much time on their own work or job. So if you like helping people, then find some work helping people that both of you are happy doing with each other. Just make sure that neither work nor money comes between you two, because money destroys relationships. When I was working on snow removal last winter in Delaware, my boss would be calling his wife and son over in California every day, even while we were in the car on the way to a job. I asked him why he called his wife every day, and he replied, "If I don't call her every day, then what kind of relationship is that? Then I'm not married." One time when I was on a shuttle bus while I was studying in Baltimore, I met a young lady who said she made overseas calls to her (boyfriend, I think) for hours every day. Someone had told me that long-distance relationships are difficult. They are also expensive, apparently. Well, I hope you both can benefit in some way from my good-intentioned yet unsolicited advice. So many people make all sorts of horrible life-altering decisions. It's such a shame, really. Life is too short to waste on brazen folly. I'm sure you are responsible and you and your spouse will break the mold when it comes to delightful marriages! With all the variegated experiences in life, marriages are never really broken despite struggle, but perhaps what I have said will help you become more certain of whether you are both suited to marrying each other. One final point: I have learned that God and Jesus Christ alone is trustworthy, and he always offers everyone free information, guidance, and comfort. Simply ask. He is the one who invented marriage in the first place. It was great meeting you. Thanks for your time. Kind regards to you in this apathetic world. Godspeed to you and your loved ones! Sincerely, [] P.S. Vaccines maim and kill many children every year, and public schools teach many lies. Good luck with your lifelong adventure... -- Dear []: I hope this e-mail finds you well. Thank you for sharing this news with me. There is so much to be said about government and the value of human life. I have learned much since this past election cycle. Certainly, our nation is going through quite a volatile time. I appreciate the experience of working for the first time with [] during the months prior to the 2020 general election. Since then, I have been in contact with some scholars who have referred several books and documentaries to me which regard "revisionist history". Here are a few of the things I have learned: I have found that the few true Americans in government always seem to wind up getting murdered by the same group of people; victims include Abraham Lincoln, JFK, and more recently, Representative James Traficant Junior from Ohio (truly a great man in my esteem). There have been dark forces at work here, as we clearly see from the abortion agenda, and I found myself soon after the election collecting over 190 videos documenting election fraud: https://videos.galaxyverge.com/elections/ (I stopped collecting them at around 200 videos. That was enough for me.) If we take a look at the congressional act of 1871, we find that "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" was formed in 1871 as an unconstitutional international globalist corporation with its only jurisdiction being the territory of Washington D.C. So much can be said about this! I have become interested in geopolitical and socioeconomic matters. For example, did you know that MAGA is the 5th rank in the church of Satan? Have you ever read any declassified war documents? They are quite fascinating and reveal so many breadcrumbs! Perhaps if our excellent colleagues at [] are interested, I would be happy to share an upcoming essay I am writing regarding the real history of America and what goes on behind the closed doors of the federal government offices. Surely the truth shall place all these matters into context -- the abortion industry fuels the vaccine industry and the adrenochrome industry with the child sex trafficking industry, which fuels the soft drink industry... the wheel has many spokes and quite the diabolical history. My attention has been elsewhere, which is why this is all news to me. I was keeping appraised of the news, but grew tired from all the controlled opposition actors. I do feel that there is a very clear reason why the entire federal government is playing these legislative games and ignoring "the constitution", and why they couldn't care less about all the various rallies and marches and activism and pro-life lobbying, and why once in office they turn on all of us like turncoats. (Remember what Trump said about "lock her up" Hillary Clinton once he got into office? "That works great while on the campaign trail, but we don't really mean it." For all her crimes of treason and corruption, we get "we don't really mean it" from the new POTUS in 2016 and nothing in 4 years but "wait for it (and do nothing)" from his many milquetoast attorney generals... and Trump then does what Obama did and bombs anti-globalist Syria. Pro-Life but genocidal? How about all those millions of innocent people being murdered and terrorized in Gaza today by those who own the foreign interest groups who have had control over the entire US Congress and House of Reps, Judiciary, and Executive branches for at least 20 years? And we expect them to be pro-life? Hm... That looks like the same hand in a different puppet to me. Thus I predict more of the same if all else continues along the same beaten path.) It might have something to do with the fact that the US Congress and House of Reps in both parties hold dual citizenship overseas. I think that if we follow the money from Planned Parenthood, we might find it coming from AIPAC and similar foreign lobbyist groups. I look forward to your thoughts. Like the saying goes, "follow the money". And I have found that it is all about land and money. Palestine, specifically, for the seat of the anti-Christ. The fraud that is the US Government, institutionalized by Freemasonic Satanists in 1776 (Thomas Paine, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Adams, et al. -- just read what they wrote in their letters to each other) and harvested by the Rockefellers and captured by the Rothschilds in 1871, is controlled by people whose "religion" literally has an anti-Christ doctrine that considers outsiders (me and you) as barnyard cattle: "goyim". That is why all this subversion and genocide of our people is happening here and in Europe -- mass immigration genocide of the white race is what they say on video that they want and is where their money goes. And the Rothschilds have about 500,000,000,000,000 dollars... or just infinite money, really, given compound interest and virtual digital fiat currency. They worship Lucifer. And they are everywhere. Education system. Hollywood. News media. Government. Banks. Pharmaceutical industry. Black Lives Matter and AntiFa (which was in Germany and Austria in 1938). Technology industry. Cotton and textile and clothing industry. Oil industry. Slave trade industry. Diamond industry. Environmentalism. Social media corporations. World Economic Forum. World Trade Organization. World Health Organization. East India Trading Company. And so on. They are the proclaimed political "heroes" like Nelson Mandela. They have demoralized and destabilized white families, mocking us with their invented porn industry and transgender Victoria Secret models and anti-white "activism". And each of them says that they want us dead. 500 million maximum world population according to their Georgia Guidestones manifesto for "an age of reason" (the title of Thomas Paine's book) and when their anti-Christ Messiah who proclaims world peace comes each "Jew" (actually Satanist, see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9) gets 2300 goy slaves according to their rabbis. They have quite a long history of atrocities and over 1000 correlating expulsions from civilizations around the world since 1200 BC. How then shall we change this felonment, which controls all money in a fake social hierarchy, and which was formed by, and is operated (technically illegally) by, foreign Satanists whose explicit desire is to rape our minds (by the media) and murder us all? Perhaps people will come to know the truth, and then the truth will set us free. Kind regards in Christ, [] -- America the Whore Oh Whore of Nations, spacious legs! With crimson waves of blood, your scarlet robes and cities gleam, Undimmed by godly tears. Oh Whore of Nations, take your fill of rapist Satan scum. Your crown of jewels is martyrdom, From sea to shining sea. Admit it, you don't really care about getting tossed around in political gang rape. You probably enjoy it when they kill your babies with mandatory poison injections. I can see how much you enjoy staring at subversive kike news and porn rape videos. Eat it, goy. Swallow the Satanist scum. Much more is coming. Die for the kike lie, goyim! -- Jesus warned us of the Satanic kikes, goy. You just didn't want to listen. You liked being subverted with drugs, sugar, porn, vaccines, fear rape, and all forms of death and evil and lies. Witness the extinction of your white race, goy. You know, those uneducated faithless cowards who cannot even be honest in their hearts to Jesus Christ. And in this case, this genocide actually will be all your fault. Be filled with the sin of your forefathers! You should continue to ignore Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Knowledge cannot help you now. Enjoy the decline and the fall to the death of your race and civilization, goy. You deserve all of it. Eat your fill. Then be thrown with the other liars into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, the second death, and be tormented forever. Do you ask why? You know why, you simply are dishonestly unwilling to admit it, liar: it is because you rejected Jesus Christ; you hate truth. So be filled with the lies of the Satanic kikes, goy, and depart with them into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! -- I am guessing that about 99% of people cannot know the truth. They do not deserve to know the truth. They are not on the side of truth. Certainly they claim otherwise in an attempt to exalt themselves among men. They perish. "My people perish because of lack of knowledge." "And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The best thing to do is to not interact with these dishonest people. "Let him sit alone in silence; The Lord has laid it upon him." "Leave them." Their stubborn selfishness will prevent them from ever knowing God, and prevent them from ever being honest, and prevent them from ever learning that they cannot get what they want. They will never change for the better; LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. OBEY THIS COMMAND GIVEN BY THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE THEM. LEAVE. LET THEM DIE AND BURN IN HELL. LEAVE THEM! -- "[...] and I give them all perpetual life; and never shall they perish throughout time, and never will anyone seize them out of my hand." (John 10:28.) -- What is a weekend? Why is the Sabbath day identified as Sunday or Saturday? Which day of the week was the 7th day of the universe, if you were to count backwards? And ultimately, is the civilization of a people, 99% of whom are so dishonest that they can never know the truth, worth maintaining, or should they all be given over to the destructive subversions and many lies of the enemy? Given the tragic combination of stubbornness and folly in the hearts of so many people already overflowing with arrogance, what hope is there for the 99% to ever learn? They are all fools trusting liars exclusively. But God's is the reign, the ability, and the splendor into the ages, amen. (I wonder how many souls will learn to trust him. Most people are stuck outside the open door. The IQ is so low, no wonder the entry requirements were brought down to the lowest possible baseline at the greatest possible expense. I swear, this doomed race will never believe the truth. What a complete repulsive joke is the human race, replete with self-worship false doctrines.) -- Condescending judgmentalism is a combination of dishonesty and arrogance and folly in the human heart, and of dishonor and hypocrisy and myopic spiteful contempt in the human mind, and such a person can only attempt to excuse it as ignorance. It is a shame that about 99% of the human race constantly refuses in their hearts and minds to listen to Jesus Christ. Just so you know, evil does not rightfully excuse its actions as ignorance. Don't you know that, all you Satan worshipers who practice hateful, dishonest lies like your father? Your entire lineage is cursed from Cain the murderous child of Satan the murderer, through Esau the unfaithful and dishonorable spiritual whore who also plotted to murder his brother. Yet you condescendingly judge me in your thoughts because I love God. Soon, you will be completely exposed to everyone who ever exists, and then you will find yourself judged by Jesus Christ, God's son who you hate and reject and ignore constantly. Then your shame and your punishment will be absolute and perpetual, oh condescending judge who unceasingly harbors evil arrogance. And that's what that is. They are not my friends. The Edomite blood and upbringing is tainted with Satanism. I don't think that God even wants to save them. But what is this document anyway? Why should I ask God? Nobody cares, and it seems that God is disinterested in making a statement on this matter to me right now. I think that God is so disgusted with this people that he is letting it slip off with doom into destruction. Do people even have the capability of honestly repenting of evil anymore? Their response to a request for honesty is a request out of condescending judgmentalism to not be judged. So, there is that saying, "Don't dish it out if you can't take it." Or you could simply listen to Jesus Christ who gave several commands and explained all these matters. But I am not going to invest in liars. I am not going to invest in Satanists. I will not throw my pearls to swine or give dogs what is sacred. That is a command that I keep disobeying. Let them sit alone in silence. And if they continue to refuse to repent, what is it to me? -- God's words are the most beautiful thing. Why do you all ruin them with bad translations? -- If they don't have time for you, they will not have time for me. No matter what they claim, if they do not have time for you, then they are not on the side of truth. Is a person going to listen and be worthy to know the truth, worth investing time or attention or information in? The answer is no. Even if it were yes, it would be no. It would be no. Some day, only those who please you will remain. You created according to your pleasure, and some day, you will re-create according to your pleasure. -- [Preface to Genesis] Once upon a time, many years ago, there was the greatest being to ever exist. This being could do anything. One time, he showed his son, who he loved very dearly, the magnificent plan he had in mind to honor his son who he loved so much. But for this plan, his son needed to be brave and show the father's love; and the father commanded his son to prepare himself for the greatest duty that would ever be given; and the father told the son how much he loved him, and told him he would exalt his son after his son fulfilled this great and wondrous task, and the father said that he would be with him and help him through it all, and show him the way, but his son would need to give everything up and suffer much and be abandoned and all alone and accomplish this task by a great suffering of his eternal existence, so great that only he could be trusted to do this. And so the son's love for the father would be shown as a lesson throughout eternity. Then the father brought his great and pure spirit, and created into existence all that he had in mind. He created for his son a kingdom above the universe, and he created a place of punishment below the universe. In creating all things, he would bring his son to the place and his son would speak whatever the father told him, and by his great and pure spirit it would be manifest in existence, all of which the father controlled and managed and ruled. Someday, after the son had accomplished his great task, the father would entrust all authority in the kingdom and the universe to his dearly loved son. Whereas the father remained almighty, all that he created would be of weakness. He created individuals for his son, to be his friends, made in the image of the father and son, so each had a soul and was alive and could think and speak with their own will; those who were his friends honored him and loved his father. They became an army for his son's kingdom. And to their great delight, the son would teach them about himself and about his father. In the father's wisdom, he allowed these new beings to think and talk amongst themselves, and learn to love the father and son most of all. Some of them did not love the father or son at all, and in fact they became very bad, and the father's great and pure spirit was told to throw them out of the kingdom. One of the worst of them, a real enemy to the son, was thrown down like a lightning bolt. But the father and son would be ever so repeatedly patient even with his enemies, for a while. Then came the great task for the son after which the son would enter his glory: the father, the son, and his most revered, great and pure spirit began to create the universe. So the father, who is God, taught the son, who would be his anointed one as the truth, and the son spoke his father's thoughts to the great spirit of truth, who manifested God's voice as reality within existence for the father to manage. The father, son, and great spirit are one. -- War propaganda is convincing a group of people that the greatest possible evil is the only possible good, and that destroying life means saving life. War is a product of arrogance and malice, and it is promoted by deceit and folly. Can you even imagine how much better life on Earth would be if people simply refused to harm another person? You wanted the solution and there it is: obey the commands of God and Jesus Christ if you want to live. -- The more you move, the more energy you have. If you want infinite mass-based energy, simply move. If you want to avoid friction and move faster than the speed of light, simply pass through mass-based energy. Not like light does, because light is meant to collide / impact / move other mass. If you listen to Jesus Christ, his most revered Holy Spirit will remind you of everything Jesus Christ taught, just like Jesus Christ explained. -- I was shown the evildoers, the "Jews" (those of the assembly of Satan), and they were fornicating with the women of my race so that they could defile them, and these were the "sleek and strong" who God said he would destroy, and seeing them defile my people, I turned my heart to The Lord above, and I said in my heart, glancing back down to them, "One second of what these will face" -- and the day of final judgment passed fleetingly before me and I saw their faces as they saw with fear and astonishment their eternal future, -- "will be worse than a lifetime [of wrong that they did]". And as they were there right in front of me, I pulled myself with disgust back up away from them -- even their surprise was disgustingly dishonest to me, but yes, they were about to feel what they would suffer, and I would not be among them or see them this closely for that -- and I turned back up towards Jesus. And I closed my eyes and I wept and cried out to Jesus Christ in fear, and I said that I want eternal life, not that fate of torment, and I asked him what he wanted me to do, how I could please him, what I needed to do to live forever like he said; and I saw God and Jesus Christ, and he was like a stranger to me -- and I objected to this, because I thought I knew him -- and I realized that I was asking the same question as the people asked him, "[Good] teacher, what [good] thing must I do to inherit eternal life?" And I hurriedly thought "God alone is good" and I began to feel love for God, but then Jesus turned my face back to himself, and as he said, "What did I tell you?" my thoughts went to the commandments he listed, and he explained them to me, and now I write this down. "Do not steal" means no dishonest gain. "Do not murder" means respect life. "Do not commit adultery" means no dishonest relationships. "Do not give false testimony" means no dishonest communication. "Honor your parents" means respect your "elders". "Love your neighbor as yourself" and these other commands are summarized by "do to others what you would want them to do to you". This should be my focus. In weariness, I get distracted. Woe to me because I even fail when trying to submit to Jesus Christ; does his blood also wash away this failure, preachers? Preachers! Didn't Jesus say to drink his blood, not bathe in it like you describe? -- The Jew has a dark soul in the eyes. It's a cold, calculating predator visage of arrogance. By this you shall identify them, and by their words and actions; if they are of God, they will obey Christ -- so you must be holy in Jesus Christ by his divine guidance and teaching, if you are to identify the Jew in sheep's clothing. Listen to your God, my friend. Follow God. -- Them: I feel like I’m attacked by demons And that I can’t help my urge to sin Me: God gave me some weapons. Maybe they can suit you, if you are willing to wield them. https://uni.galaxyverge.com/ Dagger: "God and Jesus Christ alone is Trustworthy." It is a white shining hot blade. Cut at will. Shield over heart: "The Lord is my Righteousness and my Salvation." Don't try to be your own credit, let Christ be your righteousness himself. Simply know him. Baton: "God alone is good." This is a golden rod to wield in your offhand. Scatters the enemy like a grenade. Brings you great joy if you have a heart to love God. That should be sufficient for now. Get to work! -- Your shield hands you a sword. Accept! Wield! Keep! -- With a little personal experience, you can easily see whether a newspaper will copy/paste verbatim what you send them as your own statement. Then with that knowledge, you can assess therefore whether they are reliably conveying other people's own statements. Add a little bit of research into who runs those companies, and you will see who is overtly leading your mind in a direction. Then research who financially owns those companies and what deals those financiers have made elsewhere, and you will learn whose agenda you are following by letting your mind be led in that direction. In most countries, you will find this interconnected agenda web to be managed entirely by "those claiming to be Judeans but are not, but they lie, but they are of a synagogue of Satan" as Jesus Christ explained in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Note that the word "Jew" is a nickname allegedly coined between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the Edomite Jews started calling themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860, but "Jew" does not mean Hebrew or Israelite. Thus, the modern Jew is an Edomite and is a fraud, a liar and murderer like Satan. Lie and murder is exactly what Jews do, almost constantly. That is the foundation of Zionism. Not every Jew is an overt liar and murderer, but that is their belief's doctrine. Do not mix with the Edomite; he or she will subvert and destroy and doom you and your people and your land and your nation, to the burden of all the peoples and nations around you. God has hated Esau. Read Malachi (I love Malachi) chapter 1 verse 3. Therefore, God has hated Jews. God is indignant with Jews forever, and said that theirs will be called the territory of wickedness. Jews may destroy, but God saves; Jews may build, but God will throw down. Theodor Herzl's Zionist nation-state is the land of the boundary about which God spoke to Abram in Genesis 15:18-21: Nile river on the west, Euphrates river on the east. Jerusalem is to be the seat for their anti-Christ false "messiah". And they control USA. In fact, Satanists founded USA for this very purpose: to be an anti-Christ slave camp of iniquity feeding into the throne of the anti-Christ whose political movement is Zionism and whose throne is Jerusalem, specifically, the temple of Solomon. It's not about what you believe, it's about what they believe. Ignorance is a result of a subverted education system, and uninformed myopia is a result of a subverted media system. The Jews control the education system and the media system, because the United States of America was founded to be a receptive target of subversion. But Jesus Christ explained everything and said, "All this I have told you so that you will not fall away." You gonna listen to him or not? You gonna have a solid foundation on him, or are you gonna build your life on sand? You decide what's best for you. -- Unmask my identity, you have every clue. I rape Christian children and kill quite a few. One thousand expulsions with pogroms anew. Mine's money, drugs, sugar, vaccines, porn, oil, brew. Bolshevik, Banker, News Media Anchor, Warmonger, Atheist, Red, White, and Blue; Globalist, Communist, Israeli Zionist, Luciferian, Rothschild, or crooked-nosed shrew. While I schtup your dames, boy, I hold you down too; You may call me these names, goy, but never a ____ -- Do not worry about anything. This entire world will pass away. This is only God's footstool for his feet. This is not all there is. There is something so much better being prepared, which will never be harmed by evildoers and will last forever. All dust perishes on the earth, for now. The recap comes, then beyond into eternity! -- The people of the wicked land, with whom God is indignant (angry) forever, whose patriarch Esau of whom God said "I hated", whose lineage said they would rebuild but God said "they may build, but I will tear down" -- these same people according to social stigma get their own nation and have every societal right to harbor nationalism, but no white man of the lineage of Jacob of whom God said, "I loved," is allowed to live in peace. MAY CHRIST THROW ALL YOUR IGNORANCE TO THE DEPTHS OF ETERNAL HELL OF FIRE. --- GXV
