Meth addicted husband

I'm in a hairy situation. I just recently got married and wonder if I should now get a divorce. My husband has ADHD and takes Adderall for it but he abuses it and he does meth with it. When I confront him about it he gets very defensive and gaslights me. I am a Christian and I have done my best to support him in everything but he doesn't hold a steady job down and is a great welder but won't let the meth go so he can get a good job. I am the breadwinner but I hate drugs. I don't want to divorce him but I am not supporting this behavior. I asked him to do rehab and he said yes but when he talked to them and they told him he had to be off of both for 28 days he was adamant that he no longer wanted to do it. He wants the best of both worlds. He wants to stay with me in my home but he doesn't want to quit. And, he is telling me to make him get out now. He's a big boy so I can't force him out. What do I do?

Melissa could become major hurricane, may impact the US

Tropical Storm Melissa is projected to become a major hurricane that could inflict devastating damage on several Caribbean islands, as the possibility of the United States experiencing some of the storm's effects remains.

The projected path of the storm, compiled by the National Hurricane Center, shows Melissa strengthening into a Hurricane Saturday evening before reaching the status of a major hurricane shortly thereafter.

The storm is expected to be centered on Jamaica through Tuesday before advancing to Cuba as a major hurricane on Wednesday. The National Hurricane Center defines a major hurricane as a storm with wind speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour.

Both a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning are in effect for the southwestern peninsula of Haiti from the border with the Dominican Republic to Port-au-Prince. As explained in an advisory published by the National Hurricane Center, "Significant, life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides are expected in the southern Dominican Republic and eastern Jamaica, with catastrophic flash flooding and landslides anticipated in southern Haiti."

Matthew 1:21 - He will save His people

The Greek text reads: αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν.

The emphatic αὐτὸς ("he himself") and the future indicative σώσει ("will save") describe a certain, effectual act: He will save, not He will try to save, or offer salvation. This is a declarative promise: Jesus will accomplish this on behalf of "His people." The phrase τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ("his people") is possessive and definite.

Who exactly are His people? If it means all humanity, then why isn't all humanity saved? But if it refers to the elect, then the angel's promise stands precisely fulfilled.

How do you interpret τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ?

BBC producer faces backlash for post describing Charlie Kirk’s widow as 'Zionist handler'

Jayne Egerton, a BBC Radio 4 producer, is facing a backlash for reposting a controversial post that described Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, as his “Zionist handler,” Jewish News UK reported.

The post was originally written by the feminist activist Sasha S. Graham.

“Erica is not some ‘strong figure,’” Graham argued in her post. “She was Charlie’s Zionist handler who only exists in his sphere to redirect her husband’s organization into a politically acceptable organization. Her history tells the story of a traitor. Hell, she married a male supremacist,” Graham claimed without elaborating.

According to Jewish News UK, Egerton reposted the post in "Actual Gender Critical Left," a female-only Facebook group with 2,300 members, where she is a moderator. The group says it is “open to all persons of the female sex, including trans men, and non-binary, detransitioned, and re-identified women.” Furthermore, the group stresses that it rejects “all alliances, collaboration, and coordination with organizations of the religious right or white nationalist/xenophobic right.”

New here from Georgia, looking to get myself familiar with the Forums.

Erm... not sure what to say here.

pours forth Pandora's box onto the table

My name is Christian. I am 28 years old. I am a sort of Prodigal Son to the faith. Used to believe. Fell deep into the darkest ruts of sin. Am slowly climbing out of the grave with the Lord's help. Still very much struggle with matters of the flesh. Often feel discouraged. Definitely need prayers on that front. Struggle with the bizarre temptation to seek out worldly intellectualism to puff up my big brain pride as well. Ew. Ugh. So many words and philosophies. Circular. Back to where they started. I need Godly wisdom.

Also... hello everyone! :hahaha:

A Trolling President?

Trolling on the internet refers to the deliberate act of posting inflammatory, provocative, or off-topic messages in online communities such as forums, social media platforms, chat rooms, or blogs with the primary intent of provoking strong emotional reactions, inciting arguments, or causing disruption.
The behavior is typically motivated by amusement, a desire for attention, or to manipulate perceptions, and often involves tactics like deception, where the troll may pretend to hold a belief they do not actually have to elicit a response.


Several thoughts...
Though some of it may be funny, is it a good thing?
Should a President, in this case, Trump, troll the public?

Please give some examples of a Democrat President trolling the public?

I didn't vote for Harris or Trump, so either side trolling seems unnecessary.
What is your opinion of a President trolling?

Hubble Constant (Ho) fixed to light speed, C and calculated as 71 k/s/Mpc. God did it!!

Hubble Constant (Ho) fixed to light speed, C and calculated as 71 k/s/Mpc. God did it!!!

This short work supports the universe was Created by God. The Hubble Constant, Ho, (universe expansion) is central to Creation.
The equations here are HATED by secular science, BECAUSE they support that God Created the universe and the maths framework that controls it:-


My name is David Hine, and here is an interesting Hubble Constant equation that "fixes" Ho to local light speed, C.

Ho is now "fixed" to local light speed, C by this simple Ho equation worked in the old algebra style of Maxwell:-


2 x oneMpc x C, divided by Pi to the power of 21 = 70.9449 k/s/Mpc



In this equation, directly input the values below:-

oneMPC is 3260000 light years

C (local) is 299792.458 k/s

Pi is 3.142..........


Astronomers measuring Ho give the "ballpark" values of Ho, and now we have an Ho equation that "fixes" Ho to
local light speed, C, which has to be much more precise.

Note:- In the numerator, distance (Mpc) is multiplied by speed (k/s), and that is NOT an error in this situation, as the "distance squared" does not affect the numerical value of the Ho redshift by
"spreading out" (as any light source does) when viewing that redshift for Ho along just
one dimension only.

The dimensionless denominator Pi^21 sets the scales of this Ho equation correctly into the Dynamic Aether framework.
The Dynamic Aether Framework is not the static aether that the Michleson-Morley experiment could not detect, but
the Dynamic Aether that Faraday knew caused electrical "reluctance", and that Maxwell used as the basis for his
electric and magnetic "inertia" constants, and used in his Aether equations to calculate light speed. C..


With very kind regards, David Hine.

Hubble Constant (Ho) Hubble Horizon Distance light years calculated from Ho of 70.9449 k/s/Mpc.



oneMpc X C, divided by Ho, and then divided by one billion = 13.7758 billion light Years



In this equation, directly input the values below:-

oneMpc is 3260000 light years

C (local) is 299792.458 k/s

Ho is 70.9449 k/s/Mpc

one billion is 1,000,000,000 used to give the answer in convenient units of
billions of light years.



Note:- This Hubble Horizon Distance equation prevents falsifying the terminology of
declaring
light years as years only.



===========================================================================================

The "Hubble Tension Issue"

Note:- In the "Dynamic Aether Framework" of the Ho calculating equation in which Ho is "fixed" numerically to C,
the "Hubble Tension issue" is caused by the "DISTANT LOCAL VALUE" of C in the observed space regions being
directly affected by the presence of huge galaxies, black holes. or void areas, RELATIVE to the observer.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water...

Peace in Christ.

Again, we are to be His “firstfruits”….the first fruits of Christ…the 144,000…because we are to HEAR the Word of Truth and believe.

We are to be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures…of the rest of the creatures that are the “great multitude” of the people of the outside world who will see His glory shining through us (the firstfruits) and will believe.

Jas 1:18-19 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

We, His firstfruit people, are to be swift to HEAR the Word of Truth and be slow to speak and slow to wrath…for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God. When we become contentious towards what we hear, we are then not working the righteousness of God.

(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Why would someone be contentious? Because they do not “obey”…that is, BELIEVE… the Truth when they will hear it.

Rom 2:7-8 KJV
(7) To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

(8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey (believe) the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

His chosen…the firstfruits of His creatures…are chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and BELIEF of the Truth (when one hears it.)

2Th 2:13-14 KJV
(13) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

We are called by the gospel to the obtaining of the glory o our Lord Jesus Christ so that the people of the outside world may SEE that glory and believe.

(14) Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We, His firstfruit people, are to HEAR the Word of Truth and BELIEVE in what we hear Him saying.

We are then sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise…the promise of His presence…the obtaining of His glory that comes from His presence manifested in us. We are to be glorified with His presence in this mortal body.

Eph 1:13-14 KJV
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

We then become instrumental in the redemption of the purchased possession….to the rest of His creatures: the people of the outside world. We can then fulfill the “great commission.” The people of the outside world will then praise God because of the glory that they will see... that will shine through us to them.

(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

After we have done the will of God, we shall receive the promise…the promise of His presence in our mortal bodies so that we may appear with Him in glory to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness.

Heb 10:35-37 KJV
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

For a little while (as we suffer the persecutions of the unbelievers in the man-based churches), He that IS COMING now, will arrive. He does not delay (in contrast to what the man-based churches are preaching as they preach that He is delaying His coming.)

(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

With that receiving of the Holy Spirit of the promise (being glorified with Jesus in our mortal bodies), RIVERS of Living Water will flow out of our belly to the people of the outside world. They not only SEE the Light of Christ shine from us, they will also experience the living waters of the Spirit in their hearts at His/our presence.

Joh 7:37-39 KJV
(37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

(38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

We are to believe on Him as He opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears in the Spirit of Truth.

When we obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ in our mortal bodies, then He becomes a life-giving Spirit to others around us. We once were a living soul, but now we become fountains of rivers to others around us. When we are glorified with Jesus Christ, we then become His conduits of the rivers of life to the people of the outside world who are in the “desert”.

(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

The people of the outside world are in the “desert.” They are the “sea” to which the rivers of living waters from our belly flows towards. They shall be healed.

Eze 47:8-9 KJV
(8) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

Those of the people of the outside world shall live (receive an age-lasting life) if they are MOVED by His Spirit that flows from us to them. They will rejoice at His/our presence. They will be “moved”…to swarm. They will experience the Spirit of God flowing from us to them and will rejoice. There will be a "great multitude" of them who will be healed...saved.

(9) And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

But those people of the outside world who will not be moved by His Spirit that flows from us to them shall not be healed. A miry place and the marshes are not moved by moving water. They are still and are not moved. They will not rejoice in His/our presence.

Ezekiel 47:
11) But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt

It all starts with SEEING the Son of man….of whom we manifest to them. The word “this” does not appear in Hebrew and was inserted by the translators.

Eze 47:6 KJV
(6) And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen (this)? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

With this life-giving Spirit, we become fishers of men.

Eze 47:10-11 KJV
(10) And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

We can then fulfill the “great commission.” Wherever we go, we baptize them with the Holy Spirit (in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)…the rivers of living water that flows from us to them. Wherever the rivers come, the believers among the people of the outside world shall be healed.

The believers among them (who are moved by His Spirit) will then listen to us as we shall then teach them to observe all things that He commands us.

Mat 28:18-20 KJV
(18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

(20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (AGE). Amen.

The "desert" shall rejoice. It shall rejoice with JOY and singing. They shall SEE the glory of the LORD (by seeing us who reveal the Son of man to their eyes.)

Isa 35:1-2 KJV
(1) The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

(2) It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

I was today years old when...

I learned Tarsus is in present day Turkey and is still around, so the apostle Paul is from there and technically would be a modern day Turk. I don't know why that has never pieced together for me after the 30 some odd years I have in Christianity.... LOL
But I know that Tarsus was controlled by the Romans, which is where Paul got his citizenship from and the ancestors of present day Turks came from the Ottoman Empire, but still... Never knew it was present day turkey and this whole time was thinking Italy because of The Romans = Rome. :ahem:

Democrats claim masked immigration agents 'snatching' and detaining US citizens, demand DHS respond

Democratic leaders are demanding answers from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, alleging that the agencies are "wrongfully" detaining U.S. citizens during immigration raids and "terrorizing" communities across the country.

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., along with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., ranking member of the panel's subcommittee on immigration, sent a letter on Monday questioning the reported arrests of U.S. citizens.

The letter, addressed to DHS Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, claimed that the agencies are in violation of ICE policy, which prohibits detaining U.S. citizens and requires an investigation into U.S. citizenship claims made by detainees.

Despite the policy, the letter alleged that DHS and ICE are continuing to "wrongfully detain" U.S. citizens, and "sometimes with violent force."

Trump's Top Gun Post

I'm kind of amazed I haven't seen this come up here yet.

About a week ago, Trump, via his TruthSocial account, elevated American political discourse to highs not seen in decades by posting an AI-generated video of himself piloting an F-18 and bombing No Kings protestors with poop.


It would seem that Republicans are now okay with Dems wearing brown suits.

Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do your will O God=The law and the prophets.

The law and the prophets are not the law, that would be senseless, but the law and the prophets are what is written in the volume of the book about Christ, who delights to do Gods will.

This is also spoken of in Isaiah 65, of the men of Israel who when God calls them, do not answer Him, when God speaks they do not hear, but do evil before Gods eyes, and choose that which does not delight the Lord God.

God tells Israel by prophecy, ( Isaiah 65:12-17.) they shall leave their name for a curse unto His chosen, the Lord God will slay them and call his servants by another name:, and does this so he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from His eyes. ( of doing evil before HIs eyes, of choosing that which the Lord does not delight in.)

Now God says, behold, He creates new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (the former troubles are in the former heavens where satan was cast down from, and in the former earth where satan was cast down to, but the kingdom of heaven are the new heavens created which are within us and the new earth is when we meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord. Luke 17:20-21. 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Revelation 12:7-12.)

God says behold, His servant, who He upholds, HIs elect in whom His soul DELIGHTS, He has put His Spirit upon Him, He shal bring forth judgement to the Gentiles, He shall bring forth judgement unto truth (That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth.) He shall not fail nor be discouraged till He has set judgement in the earth. (one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18.) and the isles shall wait for HIS LAW.)

The Lord says that He the Lord has called Him in righteousness, and will hold His hand, and will keep Him, and give Him for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, which is opening of the blind eyes, bringing out the prisoners out of the prison, and them that are sitting in darkness out of the prison house. The Lord is His name, and HIs glory He will not give to another. (O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. John 17:5.)

Behold His servant, whom He have chosen; His beloved, in whom His soul is well pleased. (I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things, He that sent me is with me, the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:28-29.)




Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isaiah 42:6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Isaiah 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Isaiah 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.





You have need that one teaches you again the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and NOT STRONG MEAT. Every one that uses milk is UNSKILLFUL in the WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. But STRONG MEAT BELONGS, ( in MY NAME , because YOU BELONG TO CHRIST. Mark 9:41.) to them who by reason of use, ( of STRONG MEAT/BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, IN HIS NAME.) have their senses exercised to DISCERN BETWEEN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL.

Jesus comparing the men of Israel to when they were in the wilderness, tells them they also seek Him now the same way, because they ate the bread and were filled. They ask what sign Jesus shows, similar to that of the manna their fathers ate as they quote how it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. (Exodus 16:4.)

Jesus had told the men of Israel not to labour for the meat that PERISHES, but that which ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE. (the manna they had received in the wilderness ceased/perished, the children of Israel had manna no more. Joshua 5:12.)

The people of Israel still wanted to know what they should WORK, to do the WORKS of God, Jesus answered them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, that you BELIEVE ON HIM WHO HE HAS SENT.




Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.



Jesus tells them again, HE THAT BELIEVES ON HIM HAS EVERLASTNG LIFE.

HE IS THAT BREAD OF LIFE. (that ENDURES unto everlasting life, and not as the manna they still trusted in, that ceased/PERISHED.)

The bread that came down from heaven, the LIVING bread, if any man shall EAT OF THIS BREAD, HE SHALL LIVE FOR EVER, the bead that He will GIVE IS HIS FLESH, He gives for the LIFE of the world. Jesus tells the Jews, EXCEPT THEY EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM.

Who eats His flesh and drinks His blood HAS ETERNAL LIFE, and He will raise him up at the last day, he that eats HIs flesh and drinks His blood, DWELLS IN HIM, and HE IN HIM. The LIVING Father sent Him, HE LIVES BY THE FATHER, so he that EATS HIM, shall LIVE BY HIM.





John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.






Jesus tells HIs disciples His MEAT, (STRONG MEAT.) is to DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT HIM. (I DELIGHT TO DO THY WILL O GOD.)

Jesus tells how the Father LOVES the Son and SHOWS Him ALL THINGS THAT HIMSELF DOES, and will SHOW Him GREATER WORKS than these that we may MARVEL.

Jesus tells again, he who HEARS His word, and BELIEVES ON HIM THAT SENT HIM, has EVERLASTING LIFE, (the meat that ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.) and SHALL NOT COME INTO CONDEMNATION, but is PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE.

(WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE, BECAUSE WE LOVE THE BROTHERS, he that does not love his brother, ABIDES IN DEATH.)





John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.





Christ took part in FLESH AND BLOOD, (EXCEPT THEY EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM. Who eats His flesh and drinks His blood HAS ETERNAL LIFE, and He will raise him up at the last day, he that eats His flesh and drinks His blood, DWELLS IN HIM, and HE IN HIM.) that THROUGH DEATH He might DESTROY him that had the POWER OF DEATH, the devil, and DELIVER them who through fear of DEATH, were all their lifetime SUBJECT TO BONDAGE.

He that COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, the devil SINNED from the BEGINNING. The Son of God was MANIFESTED that He might DESTROY the WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

Who is BORN OF GOD, does NOT COMMIT SIN, he cannot sin BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. The children of GOD ARE MANIFEST, and the children of the devil, WHOSOEVER DOES NOT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT DOS NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER. This is the message we have HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, that we should LOVE one another. (the devil SINNED FROM THE BEGINNING.

Cain was of that wicked one and killed his brother. Because Abels works were righteous, Cains were evil and killed his brother. (THE SON OF GOD TOOK PART IN FLESH AND BLOOD, THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS THE DEVIL/AND DELIVER THEM WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE SUBJECT TO BODAGE/SIN/FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFSTED THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL/DESTROY SIN.)

Who hates their brother, ( As Cain of that wicked one/in evil works.) is a murderer, ( as Cain.) and we know NO MURDERER HAS ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN THEM. Hereby we PERCEIVE THE LOVE OF GOD, because He LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US, and we should LAY OUR LIVES DOWN, for the brothers.





Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution

As debates over science, meaning, and morality grow ever more polarized, a groundbreaking, accurate, and easy-to-read new book arriving in English invites readers to reconsider one of humanity’s most profound questions: could science itself now point us back to God?

The international bestseller God, the Science, the Evidence, an accessible yet rigorous investigation, has sold more than 400,000 copies across Europe. Now, this landmark work comes to the English-speaking world in an updated and expanded version.

The publication of God, the Science, the Evidence marks a major milestone in the renewed global interest in the scientific evidence for the existence of God. Representing years of research and reflection, it presents complex ideas in a clear and engaging style, one that has already made it a cultural phenomenon throughout Europe.

At its core, the book tackles one fundamental question: Is there a Creator God?

And it approaches that question through a single lens—rationality—by examining twelve independent fields of knowledge.

Prominent Northern Ireland cleric calls for King Charles to abdicate after prayer with pope

King Charles III has acted contrary to the oath made at his coronation and should now “let someone else take his place, who is a true Protestant and who will take their vows seriously,” a prominent Free Presbyterian minister from Northern Ireland said after the king prayed with Pope Leo XIV on Thursday in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican.

Rev. Kyle Paisley, the son of firebrand Democratic Unionist Party founder Ian Paisley, made the statements in a letter to Newspapers in Northern Ireland and subsequently in an interview on BBC Radio as well as other media outlets.

In the Sistine Chapel prayer service, King Charles, the supreme governor of the Church of England, accompanied by Queen Camilla, sat at Pope Leo’s left-hand side as the pope and Anglican Archbishop Stephen Cottrell led prayers.

I Hear of Your Love

“I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ’s sake. For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.” (Philemon 1:4-7 NASB1995)

As followers of Jesus Christ, and thus parts of the body of Christ, his church, hopefully we are in fellowship with other believers in Jesus Christ with whom we can honestly and sincerely speak such words as these spoken by Paul to Philemon and to some of the other saints of God who met in his home. And we should thank God for them, for their walks of faith in the Lord Jesus, and for what a blessing they are from God in our own lives, and for how they encourage us and others in our walks of faith in obedience to our Lord.

For, as the body of Christ, his church, that is how we are to operate. We are to encourage one another in Christ, showing the love of Christ to one another. We should be likeminded with Christ first and foremost, and then we should be of one mind and heart with other believers who are also likeminded with Christ. We are not to be selfish people, but we are to care for the needs of our fellow believers in Christ, as we are led of the Spirit and called of God in knowing the needs and how God would have us meet them.

And we are to use the spiritual gifts we have been given of the Holy Spirit in the body parts assignments we have received from God for the nurturing and encouragement and spiritual nourishment and growth of the body of Christ. And please be aware that we are all necessary parts of the body, and that we each have an assignment from God, and we are all to be ministers of God’s love and grace to one another in teaching, encouraging, exhorting, nurturing, and in warning one another against those who teach lies, too.

Please also know that the church is not a building called “church.” It is not a physical location you go to, and then you leave until you go back. And it is not to be run like a business, and it is not to incorporate (join, merge) with the government and with the world, and it is not something to be marketed to the people of the world, making the “church” more like the world in order to “draw in large crowds of people from the world.” For that is not the church with Christ as head, and it is what God forbids and warns his people against.

[Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22; Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]

And that also means that the church, being the universal body of Christ, is not limited by physical space. For in our day and age we can gather together anywhere appropriate on any day of the week, at any hour of day, as two or more are gathered together to minister to one another, as the Scriptures teach we are to do daily. And these gatherings can be virtual via the internet and social media or via video conversations or via telephone calls or internet chats and text messages, etc., and for our mutual spiritual encouragement.

And “encouragement” is not all the “feel good stuff,” either. The word means to exhort, or to urge with a holy urging, and to counsel and warn of danger and of deceptions and false teachers and false doctrines of salvation, etc. And we are to speak the truth in love to one another so that none of us are taken captive by people in their deceitful scheming who are promoting a false gospel, and so that none of us, hopefully, will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. And all this should come from a heart of love.

[Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 28:18-20; John 4:31-38; John 13:13-17; John 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:14-18,42-47; Acts 26:18; Romans 10:14-15; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 1 Corinthians 14:1-5; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1-16; Ephesians 5:11-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; Philippians 2:1-8; Colossians 3:12-16; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:23-25; James 5:19-20; 1 Peter 2:9,21; 1 John 2:6]

For, you see, the church is not a building, but it is us who believe in Jesus. And it isn’t supposed to be about a select few who do all the ministering, or entertaining, whatever the case may be. We are all to have a part in ministering God’s love and grace to one another. And we need that to help us to stay on course and to walk faithful to our Lord in obedience to his commands. If we don’t have it we should still walk faithful to our Lord, but oh, what a blessing when we are able to help one another to walk by faith.

When I was lonely and afflicted,
You were there to pick me up.
You took me in Your arms,
And You held me tenderly.

Your love embraced me.
Your grace sustained me.

When my heart cried out to You
In my fear and my despair,
You never turned away,
But You let me know You loved me.

Your grace forgave me.
You did not shame me.

Then, when I answered the call,
“Here, Lord, send me.”
You sent me to where I must be.
Your mercy held me, did not fail me.
All this, You had planned, to use me.

And, when all trials and scorn
Came to test me.
You gave me all that I would need.
You strengthened me so I’d not fail You.
Your kindness blessed me, it touched me.

And, when I needed the church
To lift up me,
To hearten me so I’d not fail,
You blessed me with folks who would love me.
Their presence with me, Your praise hailed!

And, when I walked through the valley
Of the shadow of the death,
And tears flowed from my eyes,
Still Your kindness was there for me.

Your touch, it healed me.
For I believed You.

When now I think about the ways,
Of the many, many ways
That You in Your great love
Show me that You’ll always care for me,

My heart, it thanks You,
And gladness fills me, fills me.

What We Sow We Reap

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:7-10 NASB1995)

I will tell you right now that I am a city girl. I have visited a farm before, and I have seen pictures of farms, but I have never lived on nor have I ever worked on a farm, so my knowledge of farming is very limited. In fact, I was never any good with house plants, either. I killed every plant I ever owned, except for one, but not on purpose. So, I am saying this to you so that you understand if I don’t get all the farming illustrations here accurately.

So, what this is teaching us here is a spiritual application to our lives of an illustration taken from farming and planting. For if I sow seed in a garden or on a farm that is intended to grow peas or corn or tomatoes, et al, it is expected that it should produce what I have sown. And on a spiritual and moral level, if I sow hatred, discord, immorality, lying, cheating, and stealing, and the like, that is what I will reap on a moral and spiritual level. And the end result will be that I will not inherit eternal life with God.

But if I sow seeds of godliness, holiness, moral purity, uprightness, faithfulness, truth, righteousness, and honesty, and submission, surrender, and obedience to my Lord and to his commands, via God-provided, and God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ, in the power and wisdom of God, and not of my own flesh, the end result, if I continue on that course to the end, will be salvation from sin and eternal life with God. And it will mean I am now in relationship with Jesus Christ, and he is the Savior and Lord of my life.

So, we are not to take God’s grace and Jesus’ sacrifice for us on that cross for granted, assuming that if we just profess faith in Jesus Christ that salvation from sin and eternal life with God are guaranteed us regardless of how we live. 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 (see Titus 2:11-14).

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

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

Please understand that the Scriptures do not teach a gospel which gives us full reign to keep on sinning deliberately and habitually while we ignore God’s commands. It doesn’t mean we will never sin (1 John 2:1-2) but sin must no longer be our practice, our habit, our lifestyle. So, instead of lying, cheating, stealing, and adultery, we do good to all people, as God defines “good,” and as his word teaches. But if in doing good we face oppositions and persecutions, we must not lose heart, but we must persevere in faith.

[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]

Newsweek: Donald Trump Scores Major Legal Win Over Gavin Newsom


The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has declined to rehear Newsom v. Trump en banc—meaning by the full court—effectively upholding a prior ruling that permits President Donald Trump to maintain federal authority over California National Guard troops deployed in Los Angeles during protests earlier this year.

In its October 22, 2025, order, the court said a majority of eligible judges did not support rehearing the case.
