Over the years Hollywood has this weird woke obsession of race swapping main characters (mostly white) to only feature minority especially black & latinos. When people complain about it the Hollywood elites and their progressive media hounds were quick to label genuine criticisms as bigotry and racism. They can get away with that in the west. After so long race swapping with impunity and gaslighting all who challenge them, now they face real push back from a place where their far-left ideology doesn't hold sway. And western laws hold even lesser sway.

Blackwashing Cleopatra from her Greek ethnicity has now landed Netflix in hot sand - hot Egyptian sand! Netflix is being sued for Afrocentrism and trying to eliminate ethnic Egyptian identity by falsifying history. In the lingo of the woke "We don't want your cultural imperialism". The woke Hollywood got too comfortable with their race swapping of historical people in their own lands unimpeded, they forgot the larger world don't operate on the same illogical ideology as them.

I hope the lawsuit succeed and Netflix gets heavily fined or booted out from Egypt. It is high time woke Hollywood learn that the rest of the world don't fancy their far-left racist ideology.

Please, pray the following for us(Jung-won, Ui-seop, Ha-young, Ye-young, Eun-tae, In-sook), and for you.

• Grant us the glory that is from the one and only God.

• Let the kingdom of God and his righteousness really come upon each of us.

• Grant us justice against our adversary.

• Send out your workers into your harvest. And let what the Son of God wishes to gather truly be gathered through our lives.

• Let the Son of God, not our personal will or what we seek for, fulfill what He really wants for each of us, and let all of us live and praise God.

• Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

The traditional view was the man is the breadwinner. Therefore he should be the gentleman and take the lady out, pay for her meal, etc.
If the man has money, a good job/career, and is able to show he can provide security for the lady, then people approve.

The modern view is actually quite the same. It hasn't changed much at all. Men still need to be the gentleman and provide for the lady
and show that he can take good care of her, including finances. But here's the huge twist: due to the feminism movement, women are
now experiencing unprecedented success and riches than they ever have (at least in modern history as we know it). That's a great thing I guess, why not? But this adds huge confusion for men like me now. If they are making more money than I am, and have more power in terms of career and security, than I can provide, then why do women still want men to be the gentleman in the relationship? It seems like men now get screwed in this transaction because if we were to reverse it, men would be pitied.

Here's what I mean: women used to be dependant on men. Part of getting married is so that they would be taken care of and secured by the man. A woman living alone would have a hard life and struggle to do anything. Today, women are so successful and rich, they don't NEED a man or depend on him anymore for that kind of support. She can easily support and provide for herself. But if a man now needs to depend on a woman for his needs and future security, how come that is not seen as attractive to powerful women? Women would look at men like that as pitiable and unattractive. So if the woman makes double or triple income as her man does, why is it shameful that the man doesn't pay for her meals and pays for things like gifts and outings when he's clearly not able to provide, but the lady is and she is able to pay for the meals and other expenses?

Let me paint a picture:

Date scenario: the woman has an 80,000 dollar car, lives in a mansion size residence, makes hella more money. The man drives a cheap economy car, has nothing luxurious to offer, and is barely making enough money to break even. They go on a date. Who should pay for the $200 dinner and show? The man should (traditionally) because he has to be the gentleman, but the woman has the means to provide for everything the man does not. So is the woman cheap? Shouldn't she be seen as the shameful one holding back all her wealth and power knowing the man can barely feed himself but expects him to pay. Why? Because he's a man.

It's like saying because she's a woman, she should stay in the kitchen, cook, clean, and raise the kids. I don't get where society is right now. We empowered women which is a great thing but men are still expected then to play the traditional role of being the gentleman? Isn't that supposed to be thrown out of the window now since the roles have been reversed for the most part? Are there women actually out there who are looking for a man to support and provide for in exchange for his handsomeness and loving company? I think very few.

This ones a bit different than the others that have happened in the past 3 days because this guy was a violent criminal, but still.

This is probably the most popular / mainstream philosophy in Christianity today (see below)

However if you put this philosophy side-by-side with another philosophy that agrees with it, it begins to stand out in a bad way like spilling black ink in white dress.

Here it is:

After you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior >>

If you do works for God, you will be condemned to hell because it means you have not been truly saved yet and you still live in the dark, unable to see God's grace.

On the other hand, if you continue working for the devil (the world) but not God, you will go to heaven because it means you depend entirely on God's grace.


A grave example of Isaiah 5:20 and Jude 1:4?

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

Something I have been doing- about 1 year ago I picked up a book by Steven Hawkings on astrophysics at Borders, I have been reading it looking for Godly principles in the laws of physics. This is what I found-

Space Time
X, Y, Z space flows through T time to form the 4 dimensional Space-Time Continuum. Each of us is an “observer”, always located at a single point in Space-Time known as an event. All the events in your lifetime, including birthdays and graduations, are assigned coordinates on a map of Space-time, a single point designated by Width(x), Height(y), Depth(z), and Time(t). The path we are on throughout our lives, called a Wordline, consists of a series of connected events forming a path in space-time from birth to death. Once you have discovered the “Wordline” for an object or even a person it cannot be changed, it is the complete “story” of it's or their lives. Everything that has ever happened to you is located on coordinates in the space-time continuum in your Wordline, from your first day in kindergarten, to that test you failed in grade school, to your first car, to when you got married, to the day you die, everything you do. The bible says that we will each be judged after we die based on the things we have done in our lives. Could this be the spiritual equivalent to the “Wordline” in the laws of physics? If we are on the wrong “path” in life (the Wordline) we can choose to repent and change our Wordline for the better! In physics the Wordline cannot be changed, it takes a miracle to do that (salvation)!

Without going into extreme detail, I've met 3 people recently who I had never seen before, ask me not only my first name, which seems normal enough, but their next question is "What's your last name?" I was talking about this with someone at church and no sooner did we finish talking about it, that the 3rd person to do it sat down next to me at dinner and those were the first two questions out of their mouth. The timing was an uncanny coincidence. Does this seem strange to you that people do that? If so, why? Does it bother you? Why or why not? To me, it's strange, and I'm tempted to ask, "Are you a private investigator? Police detective? Are you a designated church person whose job it is to run back ground checks on everybody that shows up at this church, behind their backs, so that you know if they are a convicted felon? (All three instances for me were at a church). It doesn't upset me as much as it's baffling to me. I know that some people voluntarily offer their first and last names upon first meeting, like two men shaking hands and one says, "Bob Jones." That's not the same thing cause it's voluntary, and that's not odd to me.

Are you in the small minority of people who care enough immediately up meeting someone the first time to ask their last name? Why do you do it? What are you going to do with that information? It's difficult enough for me to remember first names at church, so I don't clutter up my brain with their last name. I'll learn it eventually anyway if I attend long enough, through church directories, general discussion amongst attendees, prayer requests, class emails, class rolls, or printed on paper such as bulletins, committee lists, church newsletters, etc.

In a similar fashion, I've had people I just met ask me my name and phone number and watched them enter it into their cell phone, when I never have seen them before or since. Both times it was males in their 20s. I happen to be male and they didn't seem gay or hitting on me. Once was in a church singles group, and another was just a guy walking around near a campus when I was practicing guitar on the sidewalk and he stopped briefly and talked for less than 5 minutes about a certain presidential candidate. I could only imagine that one day they'd be delving into network marketing and in order to build their downline, they contact everyone they've ever met to try and talk them into selling Amway, or whatever. Why would anyone do that? It's just bizarre.

Hello, I have to make a decision about a friend of mine, he is a Methodist and I am a Catholic, and I have always respected his beliefs. The only problems is his stance on Catholics, his father is a pastor and always says I am welcome to their church, no matter what, but he thinks that I should not go to his church and also says that Catholics don’t have much faith in God and labels himself as a Christian and labels me as a Catholic like it’s a bad thing. His family has always respected my beliefs and has never gotten me to convert, but he considers me as a different religion and I don’t “believe in God” and that is absurd. What should I do?

OK America.
What's going on?

Yet another shooting for being in the wrong place / opening the wrong door.

Defendants Sought to Sow Discord, Spread Pro-Russia Propaganda and Interfere in Elections Within the United States

A federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida, returned a superseding indictment charging four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals with working on behalf of the Russian government and in conjunction with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence campaign in the United States. Among other conduct, the superseding indictment alleges that the Russian defendants recruited, funded and directed U.S. political groups to act as unregistered illegal agents of the Russian government and sow discord and spread pro-Russian propaganda; the indicted intelligence officers, in particular, participated in covertly funding and directing candidates for local office within the United States.

Among other illegal activities, the superseding indictment alleges that Ionov, Sukhodolov and Popov conspired to directly and substantially influence democratic elections in the United States by clandestinely funding and directing the political campaign of a particular candidate for local office in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 2019. For instance, the superseding indictment alleges that Popov expressly referred to this effort on behalf of the FSB as “our election campaign,” and Ionov referring to the candidate as the “candidate whom we supervise.” Ionov and Popov allegedly intended that this election interference plot would extend beyond the 2019 local election cycle in St. Petersburg, and subsequently discussed that the “USA Presidential election” was the FSB’s “main topic of the year.”

Why did Paul write the verses in Romans 10:5-8 in that spot? In other words, how is referencing Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim relevant to what he said in Romans 9:30-10:4, to Romans 10:9-10, and to the rest of Romans 10?

unless the material is explicitly required by state standards.

The Florida Board of Education has voted to expand restrictions on classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

"This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards ... or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend," according to the amendment.

Supporters of the rules argue that "there is no reason for instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity to be part of K-12 public education. Full stop," according to a spokesperson for DeSantis, who has backed restrictions on education about race, gender identity and sexual orientation and more in his war on "woke."

Woke is defined by the DeSantis administration as "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them,"

Critics argued that the bill will censor speech and stop people from talking about their identities due to its vague descriptions on "instruction" and "gender identity and sexual orientation."

Like many who entered the Catholic Church in the 2000s, EWTN was a big help to me, even if I never really had access to the network where I lived. That used to bug Marcus Grodi that I had to watch EWTN on old video tapes since I lived in an area without it. Nonetheless, I could visit the website and there was plenty of good things for someone trying to grope about for understanding Catholicism. And sometimes I might catch an episode here or there. Once on vacation, I saw Scott Hahn unpack the Sacrament of Reconciliation in a way that made sense to my Evangelical ears.

That's not to say I was in love with the network. Even in the day it seemed a bit 'corporaty' for my sensitivities, like a vast corporation rather than a ministry. When we at CHNI went to the big memorial to Mother Angelica I was both impressed and a little squeamish. Nonetheless, I felt the good far outweighed the bad.

Which goes to show I would make a miserable Leftist. For the Left, there is no outweighing the bad of rejecting sacred doctrines of the Leftist State. You conform or else. I have no doubt that EWTN has, like the Jesuits, changed over the years. It is likely too Trump friendly for my taste, and perhaps focuses an inordinate amount of time criticizing Pope Francis. Again, I don't know since it isn't available here, and I don't have cable anyway.

Nonetheless, any support of Trump or any criticism of Pope Francis would incur the merciless and unyielding wrath of those left of center. After all, it isn't just theology, sexuality, gender, bigotry, ideas of no personal responsibility, affronts to common sense and discrimination that the Left is peddling. It's also helping us understand how unfair and prone to abuse such ideas as equality, forgiveness, looking beyond the past and reconciliation have been over the years. So if you're on the Left, no need to reach out to understand or engage in some attempt at reconciling those who dissent from Leftwing conformity. You go straight to executing the guilty verdict.

So there is now a petition to get the Catholic bishops in the US to renounce EWTN and forbid any use of materials from the network. You can look at the petition here, which has 10,000 signatures apparently.

I thought that it would be fitting to make my first post about the Gospel Christ shared from his Father.

John 3:16-17
16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

An important part of the gospel is to believe that Yeshua is God's begotten Son and that his Father is God. This important distinction is sometimes glanced over, but it's nevertheless important and critical so I mean to point it out.

Yeshua the Christ's God and Father revealed through him the gospel:

John 12:49-50
49For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

The gospel is, therefore, the power of God the Father unto salvation for all who believe:

Romans 1:16
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Therefore, God chose the man Yeshua of Nazareth to be our mediator between us and Himself:

1 Timothy 2:5
5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

In God the Father.

…the 51 day standoff at the Branch Davidian complex in Waco ended when a fire engulfed the compound. Cult leader David Koresh had previously released about 24 people (mostly children, though none of his own.) But 80 people died in the fire. Most likely the fire was set by the cult members themselves, though it’s been claimed that the tear gas used to flush them out was flammable. The charred remains of several hundred automatic weapons, and 200,000+ rounds of ammunition—among with other military style ordnance—was found in the rubble.

Another senseless mass tragedy involving an extremist religious cult. Why would a “church” need 100s of automatic weapons and ammunition?

And as a follow-up, 28 years ago today, Tim McVeigh and his partner Terry Nichols killed 168 federal government employees with a massive truck bomb parked at the Alfred Murrah office building in Oklahoma City. 100s of others were wounded. And 19 children were killed in the building’s day care center. That Tim didn’t know existed. He claimed the bombing was in retaliation for the government’s actions at Waco, and the earlier Ruby Ridge incident.

Can the gospel according to Saint John the theologian be effective in evangelism?

Do you support it, or do you object?

Dennis Prager, a conservative author and talk radio host, is trending on social media for sharing what many see as an overly simplistic and undeniably problematic view of pornography.

“Men want variety,” Prager said during a recent round-table discussion hosted by The Daily Wire’s Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist and author. Pornography, he went on to say, is “not awful,” so long as it’s used as a “substitute for adultery.”

The problems in that statement alone are plentiful — but he continued.

Prager, a practicing Jew, told Peterson and his fellow panelists that looking at a woman lustfully is “not a sin in Judaism” — a diversion from the Christian belief taught by Jesus, who said, “Anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28, NLT).

“There’s only one way to commit adultery in Judaism, and it’s with a different organ,” he explained, going on to say that, when women call into his radio program to ask about their husbands’ pornography use, he asks if their consumption of the explicit content is impacting their sexual relationships.

“If adultery is a substitute for one’s wife, it’s awful,” he said. “If it’s a substitute for adultery, it’s not awful.”

Video Talk

1 Peter 2:13-16 NASB


I believe this is self-explanatory, so I am not going to expound much on this subject. What I am going to talk about are the exceptions to this rule. Why? Because so many people are using this to try to persuade people to obeying them and not God, or to obeying them over obedience to God. And I am going to give you some biblical examples of this so that you do not think that you have to obey all human authority over obedience to the Lord.

Jesus Christ is our prime example. The religious and governing authorities of his day tried to get him to stop teaching and saying the things that he said and taught, and they tried to get him to stop healing people on the Sabbath. And what was Jesus’ response to them? Did he comply with them? No, he didn’t. He continued obeying God the Father regardless of what the authorities over him were trying to convince him to stop doing. And he had some pretty strong words for them, in fact, where he spoke the truth of God in love to them, and where he accused them of being hypocrites.

Then we have Peter and John. The authorities over them commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. And what was their response? Did they comply with the governing authorities over them? No, they did not. Instead they answered them and said, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, make your own judgment; for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:19-20). Amen! Praise God! They stood for what was right even in the face of possible death for their disobedience.

And then we have the example of Daniel from the Old Testament. He was commanded to stop praying to his God, but he continued to pray openly to his God as had always been his practice. So, he was thrown into a den of lions, but God rescued him. And then there were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were ordered to bow to a golden statue. And did they comply with the governing authorities? No! And they were thrown into a fiery furnace, but God rescued them. But don’t expect to always be rescued, for many of us will be persecuted and martyred for our obedience to God.

And then we have many “pastors” of “churches” today who are teaching what is false and who are trying to shame their people into submission to them. And they are trying to get Christians to stop speaking the truth of the gospel, but to comply with the diluted and altered gospel message which was created to appease human flesh and to be more acceptable to the world. But just know that you do not have to remain under the authority of any man who calls himself a pastor if he is not teaching the truth of the gospel and/or if he is trying to persuade you to follow him over God.

For we have many “shepherds” of the flock now who are charlatans and who are wolves in sheep’s clothing, who are leading the people of God (and those who give lip service only to God) to follow after marketing schemes and business goals and plans, and to reject much of the teachings of the Scriptures with regard to faith and salvation and eternal life with God. And they will try to lead you away from following the Lord in purity of devotion to him by trying to shame you into submitting to them. But you can walk away from that, and you should (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Revelation 18:4-5).

Now, the only way we can walk away from our governing authorities is to move to another country, but they are pretty much all headed in the same direction, toward the rule of this beast (Revelation 13), and we may end up in a worse situation than we have now. So, we obey them unless they command that we disobey God, or unless they command that we commit some kind of sin against the Lord. We never have to obey sin! Please know that! We should be people who will die for our Lord and for righteousness and holiness and for doing what is right and for not doing what is wrong.
