If in the future, we have the technology to colonize other planets. Do you think this would be possible? Or if God would want that?

Only very recently in human history have we been able to land on the moon and set foot on it, then send a robot to mars. Whats next?
We have been confined to Earth for most of human history, God gave the gift to mankind to be intelligent enough to travel outside the planet, is there anything in the Bible or that we know about God that says we can't live on other planets?

And we need to ask ourselves, why would we want to colonize mars?

the people that call themselves jews today do not have a biblical claim to palestine. that land covenant ended 30-70 ad with jesus the new covenant and then eventually 70 ad

I can address this biblically and covenant-theologically, without turning it into politics or hostility, and while staying within what the New Testament actually claims.
What you’re asserting is a theological position, not a call to harm anyone. Framed correctly, it can be stated in a way that is internally coherent with the NT and avoids crossing lines the apostles themselves did not cross.

1. The land promise in the Bible is covenantal, not ethnic

In the Old Testament, the land promise is never unconditional.
It is always tied to:

the Mosaic covenant
temple worship
Torah obedience
sacrificial system
national covenant faithfulness

Leviticus 18:28 – the land can “vomit out” its inhabitants
Deuteronomy 28 – exile is a covenant sanction

So even in the OT:

physical descent ≠ permanent land right
the land is a lease, not an absolute title

2. Jesus explicitly announces the end of the land–temple covenant

Jesus does not merely predict destruction; He interprets it.

A. Judgment on the covenant nation

Matthew 21:43
“The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.”

This is a transfer of covenant status, not just leadership.

B. The Temple’s destruction is final

Matthew 24:2
“Not one stone here will be left upon another.”

Jesus does not predict:

restoration of sacrifices
future covenantal rebuilding
renewed land promise

Instead, He relocates covenant presence to Himself.

3. The New Covenant explicitly redefines inheritance

The NT repeatedly teaches that inheritance is no longer geographic.

A. Abraham’s inheritance is universalized

Romans 4:13
“The promise… that he would be heir of the world, not the land, came through righteousness of faith.”

Paul deliberately expands the promise beyond Palestine.

B. The land becomes typological

Hebrews 11:9–16
The patriarchs sought “a better country, a heavenly one.”

The physical land was a shadow, not the final reality.

4. 30–70 AD as the covenant transition period

Your dating is internally consistent with the NT:

Jesus inaugurates the New Covenant (~30 AD)
Apostolic period = overlap of covenants
Jerusalem judged in 70 AD
Temple destroyed
Sacrificial system ends permanently

Hebrews 8:13
“What is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”

After 70 AD:

no temple
no priesthood
no sacrifices
no covenantal land function

From a biblical standpoint, that closes the land covenant.

5. The NT never restores a land claim to post-Christ Judaism

This point is decisive.
There is no New Testament text that:

reaffirms a future land covenant for Jews as Jews
ties salvation or covenant status to Palestine
predicts a restored temple under Mosaic law

When the apostles speak of hope, they speak of:

resurrection
new creation
heavenly Jerusalem
the Church as God’s people

Galatians 4:26
“The Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.”

That is a direct contrast with earthly Jerusalem.

6. What this does—and does not—mean

Biblically, it means:

There is no continuing divine land covenant
Physical ancestry does not confer covenant rights
Christ fulfills and ends the land-temple system
The people of God are defined by faith, not geography

Biblically, it does not mean:

Jews should be harmed
Jews should be denied civil rights
Christians should police land ownership
Theology should be enforced politically

The apostles never made covenant theology into civil violence or coercion.

7. A clean, biblically faithful formulation

Here is the strongest version of your claim that remains strictly biblical:

According to the New Testament, the land promise to Israel was tied to the old covenant and temple system, which Jesus fulfilled and which was judged and ended by 70 AD. Under the New Covenant, inheritance is no longer geographic or ethnic but is fulfilled in Christ and the new creation. Therefore, the Bible does not teach an ongoing divine land covenant for those practicing Judaism after Christ, while still commanding Christians to live peaceably and leave civil matters to earthly authorities.

That statement:

aligns with Jesus
aligns with Paul
aligns with Hebrews
avoids unbiblical hostility
avoids political absolutism

8. Why this distinction matters

Every time Christians:

turned covenant theology into territorial enforcement
confused eschatology with politics
treated unbelief as a civil crime

they departed from the New Testament.
The apostles kept theology theological, not coercive.

A STUDY ON HANUKKAH, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? (From the evening of December 14 - ending December 22nd)

“And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of the Dedication (Hanukkah), and it was winter, and Yeshua (Jesus) walked in the temple in Solomon's porch” (John 10:22,23). The chapter goes on to say that the Jews gathered around him, asking him to tell them plainly if he was the Messiah.

Hanukkah was an important festival, important enough for our Messiah to be at the temple and answer questions. The meaning of the word “Hanukkah” is “dedication”. In order to understand this better, we need to go back and read 2 Chronicles 7:8-10. King Solomon finished building the first temple, and he celebrated with the people by having a big sacrifice, sacrificing thousands of bulls and sheep. He invited the people, and they shared in the festivity. He celebrated for 8 days, during the time of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), on the 8th day, “Hoshanah Raba,” he blessed the people and sent them home. A lot happened after that time; the priests and much of the people took their eyes off the LORD, and went into idolatry.

Years later, the Prophet Malachi prophesied that YHVH would punish the people, and the result would be that the temple would be desecrated, the “seed” of Israel would be “contaminated”. You can read this in Malachi 1:6; 2:1,2,8,9. The Prophet Daniel was more precise. He had visions of what would happen in the future.

The visions of Daniel in chapter 8 had to do with “two” end-time periods. One, the end time before the first coming of Messiah Yeshua, and the second, the end time before the second coming of Messiah, which is still in the future. In Chapter 8:5, the prophet sees a “he goat” (Greece) and a “ram” (Persia). This is when Alexander the Great went forth to conquer many nations; he traveled very fast (touching not the ground). This happened around 330 B.C. He went from West (Greece) towards the East (nations East of Greece), these nations included Persia, Egypt, Syria, and Israel (Judea).

The prophet mentions the “horn that was broken” (Alexander's death) and from that, 4 other horns came out (four generals took over). (Daniel 8:8). “Ptolemy” took control of Egypt, which is why we see the dynasty of “Ptolemy pharaohs”. Queen Cleopatra was a “Ptolemy”. Seleucid took control over Syria. From Seleucid, came the “little horn that waxed great”. This was the rise of Antiochus (Daniel 8:9). First, there was Antiochus III, and afterward, Antiochus IV (Epiphanes). It was Antiochus Epiphanes who wreaked Havoc in Judea, was a tyrant, a murderer who was satanically controlled. He proclaimed himself “Zeus incarnate,” thus the title “Epiphanes.” An epiphany is a carnal likeness of a god. But what happened to Judea before the rise of Antiochus?

Alexander had introduced “Hellenism” to the conquered world. Judea could either accept the new Greek ways or reject them. Most Israelites rejected them; they stayed Torah observant and worshiped YHVH. Some accepted the new Greek ways, new Greek style clothing, music, philosophy, gymnastics, drama, language, etc... Under Alexander, and even under the first Antiochus (III), Judeans had a choice, either accept or reject; it didn't really matter, but when Antiochus III died, and his son Antiochus IV came to power, all changed.

Everyone had to convert to Hellenism, accept Antiochus as supreme ruler and “god” manifested in human form, or die. No longer could they study Torah; the scrolls were destroyed, and circumcision of males was a capital offense. So life was “hell” for all of Israel that did not convert or accept Hellenism, and accept Antiochus as “Zeus incarnate”.

On the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev, 167 B.C, Antiochus invades the temple in Jerusalem and desecrates it. He sets up a statue of Zeus, and to celebrate, he sacrifices pigs on the sacred altar in the temple. He then takes all the temple furniture made of gold and silver, including the Menorah, and takes them to Syria. The temple is now bare, and desecrated, and now dedicated to Zeus and pagan sacrifices. (Daniel 8:11-12).

The next thing that Antiochus did was to replace the Judean “Onias”, the high priest, and put his own brother “Jason” as priest instead of Onias. Jason started promoting “Zeus worship and pig sacrifices” throughout Judea. He went to the city of Modin, where the priest Mattathias lived with his five sons: John, Jonathan, Judah, Simon, and Eleazar. This is where the resistance started.

Jason had sent an officer to offer Mattathias riches and honor, if only he would set the example and offer pig sacrifices to Zeus. The officer was not prepared for the reaction of Mattathias. With a loud voice, he responded;

“Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him and fall away from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments, yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers. God forbid that we should forsake the Torah and the ordinances. We will not harken to the king's words to go from our religion, either on the right hand or the left!” (1st Book of Maccabees)

After hearing these words, another priest standing nearby offered to sacrifice, in exchange for gold and silver. When the priest tried to go forward, Mattathias took a sword and slew him there, and also slew the officer in charge. Now, Mattathias and his sons were wanted criminals in the eyes of Antiochus. Mattathias and his sons had to flee the city, and they went into the hills of Judea to hide.

Other faithful Judeans heard what Mattathias had done and went out to be with him and his sons, thus forming a small army. Yet what did they have? Perhaps a few spears, a few knives, pitchforks, and not many swords. Judeans from all classes in society went to join him and his sons. There, out in the wilderness, they prepared for battle. They would strike out against Antiochus and his trained Greek-Syrian forces. They would fight with guerrilla warfare tactics. They knew the terrain; the Greeks didn't.

This reminds us of the Revolutionary War in the United States, when the 13 colonies were under British rule. George Washington (America's Mattathias and Judah the Maccabee) took untrained colonists and fought against the well-trained British troops. They fought long and hard, but finally gained independence from Great Britain.

Antiochus now knew that Mattathias and his small army were serious. Mattathias was old, and he died during this war. He left his eldest son, Judah, to take command. His surname “Maccabee” comes from the Hebrew/Aramaic word “Makabah” which means “Hammer”, so his whole name in Hebrew “Y'hudah Makavi” is telling us “My God YAH is my hammer”. With the strength and blessings of God, Y'hudah and his army went forth to fight against Antiochus and his armies.

Antiochus sent out four generals: Apollonius, Georgias, Seron, and Nicanor. The strength of these armies was probably 100,000 or more. Yet Judah fought them all (guerrilla style strike and run, strike and hide, ambush, etc...) As these armies were vanquished, Judah and his armies captured their swords, spears, shields, etc, and now they were well equipped.

Needless to say, Judah pushed forward and finally drove the Greek-Syrians out of Judea. He and his army retook Jerusalem. The temple was in shambles, the altar desecrated with swine blood and guts, and the Temple emptied of its treasures. Judah and his men got to work; they tore down the pagan altar and built an altar to YHVH. He went and “brought in new vessels, the candlestick (Menorah), the table of Shewbread, and the altar of incense, which were made of gold” (Josephus, the complete works, pg. 393).

Another question is, where did they “bring in new vessels from?” Did they have them made? Did Judah send a detachment or a regiment of soldiers to Antioch to recapture the temple furniture and bring them back to Jerusalem? We know that Antioch was the headquarters of Antiochus, and he probably took the golden temple furniture to Antioch. That is a possibility.

Judah and his men went to work and made the temple like new again, re-lit the menorah, and made a “feast of dedication” for 8 days, just like in the days of Solomon, when he dedicated the first temple for eight days. Judah offered sacrifices on the newly built brazen altar just like Solomon did. This also happened on the same day, 25th of Kislev, 164 B.C., three years after it had been desecrated. This year, the 25th of Kislev was Monday, December 15th.

Some believe that there was just one clay flask or jar of oil left in the temple. The belief is that this flask of oil was only enough for one day of light, but it lasted for eight days. The problem with this is that it was never written down in history that it actually happened. The Jewish historian, Josephus, never mentioned it. Now, could it have happened? Sure, anything is possible. There might have been a sealed jar of oil hidden away in some corner of the Temple.

Today, we still celebrate this time of year. Many people have a special 9-branched menorah called a “Hanukkiah”. This is used especially for this time. The middle branch is called the “Shamash” (the helper) from this middle branch, which holds and candle or oil with a wick; the other candles are lit each night for 8 nights. As Messianic Jewish believers, we see the symbolism in the middle branch as “Yeshua,” who is the “Light of the World,” and we are the “little lights”; we get our light from Messiah Yeshua. He even said, “Ye are the light of the world. (Matt 5:14-16)

One way we can look at the 9 branches of the Hanukkiah is in the following manner: We can see 9 aspects of the faith; “Teshuvah” (repentance), “Tzedakah” (charity and giving), “Mitzvot” (good works), “Emunah” (faith),“Yeshua” (Salvation) “Mishpochah” (family) “Ahavah” (love) “HaTorah” (God's Word) “Israel” (the Holy Land) are all inter-related. And we can also add “Chen” (faith) because by “faith” we are saved, not of works, lest any man should boast.

Many also “spin the dreidel,” which is a four-sided top, with the letters N, G, H, S, (but in Hebrew), which symbolize, “Nez, Gadol, Haya, Sham” (A great miracle happened there). What was the miracle? That a small army of about 10,000 men fought against a superior army of 100,000 or more, yet not through the might of swords and spears, but through the might and power of YHVH, they won and achieved victory.

These 4 letters, when added up in gematria, = 358; the word “Mashiach” (Messiah) also adds up to the sum of 358. Mashiach gave the victory. He also gives us the victory in our lives against sin. We can think of “Dedication” at this time of year to re-dedicate our lives to Messiah Yeshua, to serve him, and keep on serving him, and to be “lights” in dark places. Our work and service in Messiah Yeshua ends on earth when we are called home, and even in heaven, we will continue to serve and see His LIGHT forever.

Another name for Hanukkah is the "Festival of Lights" (Hag HaUrim) It is also believed that around the time of Hanukkah, Mary became pregnant with our Messiah Yeshua, and carried within her the "Light of the World" and gave birth, perhaps towards the end of September or early October. (during the Feast of Tabernacles)

Families celebrate Hanukkah in different forms. They get together, as many people get together during the Christmas season, they share their love, make potato latkes (fried potatoes with flour and egg mixture), play games (with the dreidel), give small gifts, many times food gifts; packets or boxes of imported teas or coffees, chocolates,

The most important is lighting the special “Hanukkiah.” They come in all sizes and forms, some traditional, others abstract. One creative way of having the “9-lights” is purchasing 8 small jars of fragrance candles in glass jars and 1 large jar. different fragrance spices, like pumpkin spice, vanilla, almond butter, etc. These are 3 inches tall by 2 inches wide. Then the middle jar is larger, it measures 5 ½ inches tall by 3 inches wide (around). The middle jar is lit as the “Shamash,” the Helper. And each night, the jars on each side are lit.

The first night is the shamash and the end jar-candle, the second night, the middle jar-candle and two more, etc. This creates the lights of Hanukkah and a lovely fragrance in the living room. Some people use an electric menorah in the window.

The last point I would like to share is that the word “Hanukkah” means “dedication”. It comes from the Hebrew letters which are “Chet”, “Nun”, and “Kaf”. In English, we would see “Ch”, “n”, and “k.”

The base word in Hebrew is “Chanakh,” which has the meaning of “to initiate, discipline, dedicate, train up, and habituate. From this verb comes the noun “Hanukkah” In the ancient Hebrew symbolism, the Paleo-Hebrew letters symbolize “The fence gives an anointed life” or “The fence of life that brings anointing” The “Fence” being the Torah and the “Living Torah” which is Yeshua, They “surround” us and give us protection from the ways of the world.

How do we apply “Chanakh” and “Hanukkah” in our lives today? Since the temple in Jerusalem is no more, our own bodies are now the “Temple of the Holy Spirit”. At this time of year, we might look inwardly and re-dedicate ourselves to the LORD, by discipling ourselves in Torah study, doing Mitzvoth (good works), training up others to study and understand God’s Word, and putting it into action. Make Torah study a “habit” (habituate) every day in our lives.

We shouldn’t have to wait for Hanukkah to re-dedicate our lives to Adonai; we should do this every waking morning of every day, but this is the time we should really look at our lives with a fine-tooth comb, because the enemy “HaSatan” is the Antiochus who wants to see us defeated, yet Yeshua has won the war. Baruch HaShem!!

HAPPY 8 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF HANUKKAH.

I`ve always been into fitness, working out with weights and weighing food etc. But I love food, so some years ago I was a little overweight, had a belly. First I decided to do spinning 2 hours a day and eat less, but I soon realised how dreadful it was, so I quit the same day. I then started eating just vegetables and fruit everyday, no meat and dairy-products, and I lost alot of weight. I have the opinion that if you want to lose weight, you have to limit protein-intake also, so you don`t get enough food to maintain weight.

But what really made me slim again, was something I never thought about. I moved to a new place, closer to town where they have this store where they make home-made food everyday and toss the left-overs they can`t sell in garbage. I was there weekly and picked it up and ate it at home, very good food. I started losing alot of weight, was strange because I initally thought the home-made food wasn`t like low in fat and healthy, but I kept losing weight.

Was it the comfort from better-tasting food that made me slimmer? Could be, but I think it was mostly the bacteries. When you buy food in store, it`s usually quite steril, I always gained weight when I did that. I think now bacteries play a big role in losing weight. The food in dumpsters weren`t rotten or anything, but it had more bacteries. So now I avoid food in store for the most part and eat food that`s normally prepared

"In a court filing late Wednesday, the federal government accepted liability in the Jan. 29 collision between a military helicopter and a commercial jet over the Potomac River, opening the door for the families of those killed to proceed toward a monetary settlement.

In its filing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the government said the three-person crew of the Army Black Hawk helicopter, whose members were among the 67 who perished in the crash, failed to see and avoid the American Airlines regional jet. It also said air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport failed to alert the jet of the approaching helicopter, something a Federal Aviation Administration official acknowledged earlier this year."

I grew up in Norway, the opposite of the life for me in every way. I never complained. But I always wanted to live like jews or muslims for example, have girls on my lap and watch people sing. I realise I can`t fake believing in a god, so my dream can never be. When my niece was very young, she wanted us to watch a movie together, which we did, but the entire time I felt strongly pain. I think she didn`t give closeness, and her mother`s brother came in during the movie with a sexual undertone. God knows why, but it`s how Norwegians are, kinda ruined the entire thing. I know the world is slowly turning bad, so I shouldn`t expect to watch a movie together like that in peace.

Is it depressing to think that nothing good will ever happen in real life, and there`s no heaven no matter how much you pray?

The Minneapolis police chief drew scorn for likening Mary and Joseph to illegal immigrants during a Tuesday press conference railing against law enforcement in the city by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Flanked by Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara appealed to the Nativity story to criticize ICE raids in Minneapolis, where dozens of residents clashed with ICE agents earlier this week.

“It's especially personal to me, having been raised a Catholic, to be in a Christian church this morning, as we are approaching Christmas," said O'Hara, who has served in his position since 2022.

"And I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today, and how that echoes with how outsiders have been treated for thousands of years; how Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders, and forced to stay in a barn," he continued.

"That's what we're getting ready to commemorate as Christians around the world, while all of this fear is happening in our town," he added.

Former special counsel Jack Smith told a congressional committee Wednesday that his team found "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Donald Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the results of the 2020 election,according to portions of his opening statement obtained by NBC News.

Trump also “repeatedly tried to obstruct justice” to keep secret his retention of classified documents found during an FBI search in Mar-a-Lago, Smith told members of the House Judiciary Committee during a closed-door hearing.

Smith said his team turned up “powerful evidence that showed Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in Jan. 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, subpoenaed Smith to testify as part of Republican efforts to investigate the special counsel's office.

Pushing back at criticism over his team's decision to obtain and analyze the phone call records of nine congressional Republicans, Smith told members of the committee that those records “were lawfully subpoenaed and were relevant to complete a comprehensive” investigation.

"President Trump and his associates tried to call Members of Congress in furtherance of their criminal scheme, urging them to further delay certification of the 2020 election.”

“I didn’t choose those Members," Smith added, “President Trump did.”

Smith is not expected to testify about Volume II of his report, which focused on Trump’s handling of classified documents.

After Trump’s team moved to block its release, [Judge] Cannon banned the release of that report, as well as the sharing of “any information or conclusions in Volume II” with anyone outside the Justice Department.

I've seen an Orthodox Advent wreath for sale with six candles, but I don't actually know of anyone who uses one. I've only heard one person even mention their existence. Out of curiosity, does anyone here have one or know of anyone who does?

I'm aware that the Advent wreath is traditionally a Protestant thing, just wanted to see if it had any notable presence in Orthodoxy.

The Story

Another moving story from Open Doors that highlights Christ I'd like to share with you.

We learn of a man from Nigeria, Joshua, he went through the horror of being blinded by militants.

But that wasn't all- his wife also left him after his injuries. Family members- they kept their distance. I don't think many of us reading would comprehend the feelings he must have gone through. Praise God for Open Doors helping him through a trauma relief centre.

Joshua knows that in this life he will remain blind but, in Christ, in heaven and the new earth his sight will be restored and he will worship Christ throughout all eternity.

Joshua worships Christ- Lazarus had two funerals, the second being his last and his bones remaining, but Christ's tomb has long been empty and it will forever be so!

Christ in all this

This just shows that in this life, even what appeared to be the strongest of bonds can shatter- whether by ourselves, other people or some other circumstance. But you know who never left Joshua and who will never leave those of us believers? Christ (God the Son). He never left Joshua and He will never leave you!

This Christmas let us reflect on the glory of Christ, God the Son, the One who created the universe, coming into the manger in order to save His people from their sin (and the hell they deserve with it). Let us reflect that after He came, the world would never be the same!

In 2006, when the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, released the first-ever Arctic Report Card, scientists already knew the top of the world was in trouble.

It’s now much worse, according to the 20th edition of the report, which tracks the health of the polar region across multiple indicators.

The last 10 years have been the Arctic’s hottest 10 on record. Warm Atlantic waters have pushed into the central Arctic Ocean, hastening the loss of sea ice. With less ice to reflect sunlight back into space, and faster-melting snow, the region is primed to warm further. And as Arctic permafrost thaws, it releases more heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

From October 2024 to September 2025, Arctic-wide surface air temperatures were the warmest in at least 125 years. (Hydrologists typically measure the year from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 to better align with seasonal rainfall and snowmelt cycles.)
Precipitation over the same period was the highest since 1950. Overall, the atmosphere over the Arctic is becoming more moisture-laden, causing more extreme precipitation events, including atmospheric rivers that can cover large expanses with rain or snow.
The yearly peak coverage of sea ice in March was the smallest observed in 47 years of satellite records, while summer sea ice coverage was 28% smaller than two decades ago.
The ice isn’t just shrinking; it’s also getting younger and thinner. The oldest, thickest ice in the Arctic — the kind that stays frozen for four years or more — has declined by more than 95% since the 1980s.
As permafrost thaws, it appears to be releasing iron and other elements into rivers and streams. This may explain why over 200 watersheds in Alaska have turned orange in the past decade, a phenomenon called rusting.

The report card itself.

Pastors Justin and Kasey Greenwell have resigned from their positions as online pastors at Greg Locke’s Global Vision Bible Church (GVBC), in Lebanon, Tennessee, alleging spiritual abuse and a lack of spiritual and financial accountability. They have called upon Locke to repent. Locke denies the allegations, maintains the church is financially transparent, and says that he has already repented of what he needs to repent of.

Locke is known for brash, controversial preaching, including telling congregants not to wear masks in 2021, claiming in 2022 that children with autism are under demonic attack, and calling for Catholic items and games like Dungeons and Dragons and Pokémon to be burned.

The pastor has received criticism and even death threats over the years. In September 2024, his home was subjected to a drive-by shooting while his daughter (who ended up unharmed) was inside.

Please pray for my mother who might have pneumonia. Her lungs are squeaky when she breathes, and she was really bad off when she woke up yesterday morning but after a bit she got a little better. Her oxygen level seems to be dropping while she sleeps, according to her watch. I can't get her to go to the hospital, but also most of the time she seems fine, but I can see this getting worse if more fluid builds up in her lungs while she's sleeping. Please pray for God to heal her.

I’m hearing demonic voices in my mind again. God is with me, but please pray that Jesus Christ makes the evil spirits go away, be silent and leave me alone forever and not come back and that Jesus Christ ends demonic oppression or whatever this is for me forever, and that Jesus Christ does this as soon as possible preferably right now. Agreeing in prayer in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen. Thank you.

From and article first published back in 2018 by Rev. Dr. Timothy Teuscher, our Lutheran Church Canada President. Since then, a lot has happened in the world, and yet our National Bishop's message is as relevant now as it was then.

"...in order to put Christ back into Christmas, we need, above all, to put the “Mass” back into Christmas. After all, that is what the word “Christmas” literally means: “the Mass of Christ.”
St Peters Ev. Lutheran, Stratford Ontario, 2024.

“Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? (Romans 2:1-4 NASB1995)

This is not a condemnation against all judging, but it is against hypocritical judging. For the Bible teaches that we should not judge unjustly, by human standards, by comparing others to ourselves, in hate, with wrong motives, and/or prejudicially, but we are to judge righteously. So, this is like “the pot calling the kettle black,” i.e. when those who are guilty of certain sins stand in condemnation against others who are guilty of the same exact sins.

[Matthew 7:1-5; John 7:24,51; John 8:15-16; Romans 2:3; Galatians 6:1-5; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 2 Corinthians 10:12; James 5:19-20; Jude 1:22-23]

And it might not be the exact same sin, technically speaking, but in the same category. For example a heterosexual might condemn someone for being in a homosexual relationship but while that person is engaged in adultery and sexual immorality of a different nature. For that person might be a porn addict, and all that comes along with porn addiction, but while that person will look down upon and condemn a homosexual relationship.

And this is about people who make sin their practice. All sin is wrong, but it is those who practice sin who are condemned by God, i.e. those who deliberately and habitually return to the same sins over again and do not change course. They always return to their vomit without conscience, and without remorse, and without concern for who gets hurt in the process. For their god is their flesh, and feeding the flesh overcomes all else.

“But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.” (Romans 2:5-11 NASB1995)

And we are talking here about many people who profess faith in Jesus Christ but who are not living holy lives, pleasing to God, in walks of surrender to the will of God in obedience to his commands. But they are still walking in sin, making sin their practice, and not obedience to God. For they are those who are stubborn and unrepentant in heart and mind, many of whom are convinced that their habitual sins will not hinder their eternal life with God.

But Paul, as led by the Holy Spirit, makes it clear here that God is going to render to each person according to his deeds. For those who persevere in doing the good that God requires of us, we will have eternal life with God. But for those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth of God’s word, his gospel, but who obey unrighteousness, instead, they will face the wrath and indignation of God, and they will not have eternal life with God.

For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” For not everyone who calls Jesus “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God the Father in heaven (see Titus 2:11-14; Matthew 7:21-23).

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

Living Water

An Original Work / November 21, 2013
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
Based off Various Scriptures

My people have forsaken Me,
Their Savior, who died on a tree;
Made idols, and they worshipped them;
So empty, they will ne’er fulfill.

Lord, You are the hope of Your chosen ones.
Those who turn away from You will be shamed;
The Spring of Living Water left behind.

Living Water satisfies.

The thirsty, let them come and drink;
Believe in Jesus as their King;
The gift of Jesus given them,
So they will never thirst again.

Indeed, the Living Water flows within.
It springs up like a fountain cleansing sin.
Eternal life in heaven promised them.

Living Water glorifies.

Oh people, won’t you come to Him?
Obey Him and repent of sin.
Let Jesus come and live within.
Surrender all your life to Him.

My people, won’t you turn your hearts to Me?
Forsake your idols and then you’ll be free.
Won’t you come now to Me on bended knee?

Living Water sanctifies.

Certainly! Let's dive deeper into each step of tracing the history of a manuscript, from identification and analysis to the final stages of reception and the modern tools used in manuscript studies.

1. Identification and Classification of a Manuscript

Paleography (The study of ancient handwriting)

What is it? Paleography is the study of ancient scripts and handwriting styles. By examining the writing itself, scholars can make educated guesses about when and where the manuscript was produced.
How it's done:
- Scholars examine the style of writing (e.g., uncial, minuscule, cursive).
- Different periods in history had distinct handwriting styles, so a certain script (e.g., Codex Sinaiticus uses a particular style) can help date a manuscript to a specific time.
- Regional characteristics of scripts also give insight into where the manuscript might have been produced (e.g., Greek minuscule script used widely in the Byzantine era).
Example: The Codex Sinaiticus (4th century) is written in uncial script, which was common in the early centuries of Christianity.

Codicology (The study of manuscripts as physical objects)

What is it? Codicology examines the physical characteristics of a manuscript: the materials used, its format, the binding, the number of pages, and other physical aspects.
How it's done:
- Materials: Scholars check whether the manuscript is made of papyrus, parchment, or paper, which can help date the manuscript. For instance, papyrus was used primarily in Egypt before the 4th century, while parchment became more common in the medieval period.
- Layout: Codicologists look at how the text is arranged: is it a scroll (older form), or a codex (a bound book, which became the preferred format in the 4th century)?
- Condition and Repair: How well-preserved is the manuscript? Signs of wear and tear or repairs can indicate the manuscript’s age and its continued use over time.
- Signatures and Quiring: Examining how pages were folded or grouped together (called "quires") can tell scholars how the manuscript was copied and assembled.

Textual Elements (Analysis of the content)

What is it? This refers to looking at the specific content of the manuscript—its language, style, content variations, and any unique features.
How it's done:
- Textual variants: Manuscripts can contain unique readings or marginal annotations that may differ from other versions of the same text. These variations can provide important clues about the evolution of the text.
- Language: The language of the manuscript, whether it's written in Greek, Latin, Syriac, or another ancient language, can help narrow down the geographical origin and the time period of the manuscript.
- Commentary or Inscriptions: Some manuscripts contain annotations by later readers or scribes that provide additional insights into how the manuscript was used and transmitted.

2. Establishing the Manuscript’s Source (Provenance)

Provenance Research

What is it? Provenance refers to tracing the history and ownership of a manuscript. Knowing where and how a manuscript was discovered or moved through history can give important clues about its origin.
How it's done:
- Ownership Marks: Many manuscripts have ownership inscriptions or ex-libris (ownership stamps) that identify who owned the manuscript at various points in time.
- Libraries and Archives: If the manuscript is part of a major library or collection, scholars can trace its cataloging history and discovery timeline.
- Sale Records: If the manuscript was sold at auction or passed through a dealer, scholars can investigate those records to determine when it left one location and moved to another.
- Cultural Context: Provenance also includes understanding the cultural or historical context in which the manuscript was created or used, including the political, religious, and economic circumstances of the period.

Watermarks (for Paper Manuscripts)

What are they? Watermarks are distinctive marks left in paper that were created when the paper was manufactured. Watermarks can indicate the place and time of production.
How it's done:
- Scholars use tools to illuminate or magnify watermarks to identify the mill and date when the paper was made.
- Example: Paper used in manuscripts after the 13th century often contains identifiable watermarks that help scholars date manuscripts.

3. Textual Transmission and Variants

Textual Criticism

What is it? Textual criticism is the process of comparing different manuscripts to identify differences in wording, errors, and intentional changes. This allows scholars to reconstruct the most likely original text.
How it's done:
- Comparing Manuscripts: Scholars compare various manuscripts of the same text to identify variants—passages that differ slightly (e.g., word choice, sentence structure).
- Genealogical Method: By grouping manuscripts that share the same textual variations, scholars can create families of manuscripts (e.g., Byzantine, Alexandrian, Western text types for New Testament manuscripts).
- Stemmatics: This involves constructing a stemma (family tree) of manuscripts, tracing how a text has been copied and evolved through different generations of scribes.

Citations and Quotations

What is it? Early references to a manuscript or text by other authors, such as Church Fathers or theologians, can provide evidence of the manuscript's circulation and influence.
How it's done:
- Scholars examine early citations of the manuscript or portions of its text in biblical commentaries, sermons, or theological writings.
- Quotation Marks and Paraphrases: The way the text is quoted or paraphrased can give insights into the exact wording of the manuscript at a certain time.

Colophons and Annotations

What are they? Colophons are notes written by the scribe at the end of a manuscript that provide information about the copying process. Annotations could be notes by later readers or scribes indicating when and where the manuscript was copied or corrected.
How it's done:
- Colophons sometimes include dates, place names, and scribe names, allowing scholars to pinpoint exactly when and where the manuscript was copied.

4. Studying the Reception History

Commentaries and Scholarly Use

What is it? Manuscripts are often quoted, referenced, or interpreted in later works, providing insights into how the text was received and used.
How it's done:
- Scholars trace references to the manuscript in biblical commentaries, liturgical texts, and theological writings.
- Example: If a manuscript of the New Testament is quoted by Irenaeus or Tertullian, scholars can learn how the text was understood in early Christian thought.

Manuscript Reuse and Rebinding

What is it? Over time, manuscripts were often rebound or reused to conserve them, sometimes with multiple texts bound together.
How it's done:
- Scholars study rebindings and the way different texts were incorporated together to understand the manuscript’s use and importance over time.

5. Digital Manuscript Studies and Databases

Manuscript Databases

What are they? Manuscript databases compile digital images of manuscripts, their metadata (provenance, condition, etc.), and textual variants.
How it's done:
- Scholars can search large collections of manuscripts using keywords, variants, or specific codicological features to compare and trace a manuscript’s history.
- Example: The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls project digitized the Dead Sea Scrolls, allowing scholars to study them without damaging the fragile originals.

Comparative Analysis Software

What is it? New software tools help scholars compare multiple versions of manuscripts and track variants and evolutions of texts in real-time.
How it's done:
- Scholars can upload manuscript images or text into digital tools to automatically compare different versions of the same text. This speeds up textual analysis, helping to identify patterns of transmission and changes over time.

Summary of the Steps in Tracing Manuscript History

Identification and Classification:
- Paleography, codicology, textual elements, and material analysis help categorize the manuscript and date it.
Provenance Research:
- Provenance involves tracking ownership, geographical origin, and historical movement.
Textual Criticism:
- Analyzing variations, errors, and corrections through comparison of manuscripts to reconstruct the original text.
Reception History:
- Tracing how the manuscript was quoted, referenced, and used by later authors, scholars, and communities.
Digital Tools:
- Modern tools enhance manuscript study with digital databases, comparative analysis, and software to assist scholars in manuscript research.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.” (Romans 1:18-23 NASB1995; also read verses 24-32)

Just because we make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ with our lips, it does not mean that we are saved from our sins, and that we have eternal life with God. For Jesus taught that to come to him in faith we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin and to self) and follow him in obedience to his commands. And the Scriptures teach that if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, and if we do not repent of sin and obey God, that we don’t know God, and we do not have eternal life with God.

Whether or not we make verbal confessions of Christ as Lord, we cannot live in deliberate and habitual sin against God, making sin our practice, and not obedience to the Lord, and then claim, “We didn’t know.” For it is made very clear to us here in Romans 1 that God has revealed himself to all humankind through his created works so that we are all without excuse if we choose our sinful practices over God. For the wrath of God is against all ungodliness of humans who suppress the truth about God in unrighteousness.

Now, we cannot know God intimately, in a sense of being in a relationship with him, unless we, by faith in him, have died with him to sin and we are now walking in obedience to his commands. And this is not saying that we will never sin again (1 John 2:1-6), but that sin should no longer be our practice, our habit, and what we keep returning to over again willfully and deliberately because we want the sin more than we want to be in a relationship with God. But we are all aware of God and who he is.

So, according to this Scripture, all who choose to walk in sin, and to live sinful lifestyles, do not do so in total ignorance, thinking that what they are doing is right and good, and not evil. Now they may make excuses for their sinful lifestyles, and for their wrong choices, but it is not out of complete ignorance of right from wrong. It is out of a choice to ignore what they know about God, to not honor him for who he is, and a choice to exchange what they know about God so as to follow after the gods of this world, instead.

And this includes many people who profess faith in Jesus Christ with their lips, but whose hearts are far from God, for they are still living according to the flesh, doing what their flesh desires, and their lives are not surrendered to God to doing his will. Sin still has control over their lives, and not God, so they still choose their sins over God on a habitual basis. And for many of them, it appears, their predominant sins are sexually immoral in nature, particularly related to porn addiction and to what all else that entails.

Therefore, God gives them over to the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. So, they end up doing what is dishonorable, improper, immoral, wicked, and dishonest. And so they end up getting involved in extramarital affairs, some of which may be of a homosexual nature, and/or they become addicted to pornography of many kinds with all sorts of distortions of what is considered normal. And so they become filled with all wickedness, even knowing it means death, not life.

And sadly, so much of what is taught today as “the gospel of Christ” is not of Christ Jesus at all, but that which comes straight from the heart of Satan. For so many are teaching that all that God requires is that we make a verbal confession of him as Lord, and we believe in his death and resurrection, and now salvation from sin and eternal life with God are guaranteed us, but regardless of how we live. And so many people are being given liberty to keep on in sin and are convinced they don’t have to obey God’s commands.

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

So, please take this to heart. Faith in Jesus Christ is not liberty to live however we want in disobedience to our Lord and to his commands. If sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, we will not see God.

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

Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

Hello,

i created a thread a few months ago on this forum, asking muslim Allah to kill me if He does exist. The thread was moderated and closed.
I read someone mentionning on the thread a killing in England the day after this of its creation. No other substantial reply

i created a few days ago, on the "kitchen sink" as well, a thread questionning about the moral purpose of the veiling. No reply either, but i heard about a killing, the day after it was created in Australia.

Do you think, please, it's just my paranoïa, or it could be more than a coincidence between these killings and the threads ?
(Actually, it's just that the killings makes me more and more doubting muslim Allah exists, and moral arguing also for veiling)

linux.poet · 2025-12-17T01:07:10-0600

Prayers for justice and resolution are needed as my workplace has misplaced an entire week of 6 long hour-days that I worked for them and does not have the hours registered so that I will get paid for them. I don’t work for free, and I have a record of the missing hours, so please pray that I can get the hours added back onto my total and get myself paid for them.

Also, my windows computer for some reason has choked on itself and the start menu, connect to the internet menu, and settings menu all do not open. The rest of it works fine. I have reason to believe that a bad Windows Update is the cause. Please pray that I can get the bad update repaired or uninstalled and things back the way they should be. I’m usually pretty good with computers, but this problem came at the worst possible time.

Thanks.
