The epiclesis and the holy Eucharist.

In orthodoxy would you who are Orthodox Christians agree that this is an accurate summary of the Epiclesis in the divine liturgies.

The epiclesis is a central part of the liturgy in Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. In Orthodox liturgies, the epiclesis is often recited by the priest or bishop in a loud voice, and it invokes the Holy Spirit to transform the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Here are a few examples of the epiclesis in Orthodox liturgies:
  1. From the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom (Eastern Orthodox): "Send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here presented, and make this bread the precious Body of Your Christ. Amen. And that which is in this cup, the precious Blood of Your Christ. Amen. Changing them by Your Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen."
  2. From the Anaphora of St. Basil the Great (Eastern Orthodox): "And make this bread the precious Body of Your Christ. Amen. And that which is in this cup, the precious Blood of Your Christ. Amen. Changing them by Your Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen."
  3. From the Liturgy of St. James (Oriental Orthodox): "Send down, O Lord, Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts, that being overshadowed by His grace and sanctified by His power, we may be made worthy to partake of this divine and holy mystery of the Body and Blood of Your Christ."
In all of these examples, the epiclesis is a prayer for the Holy Spirit to transform the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist.

Trump envisioned deal to let Russia ‘take over’ parts of Ukraine


During a radio interview with Fox News host (and longtime confidant) Sean Hannity on Monday, the twice-impeached ex-president finally revealed how he personally would have prevented the war. According to Trump, all he needed to do was let Russia “take over” parts of Ukraine.
As part of the on-air interview, the former president congratulated himself for the fact that Russia didn’t invade its neighbors during his White House term. Trump quickly added, “That’s without even negotiating a deal. I could have negotiated. At worst, I could’ve made a deal to take over something, there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking areas, frankly, but you could’ve worked a deal.”

In other words, the brilliant plan of Trump for peace in our times would be appeasement. Who thought that foreign politics could be so easy?

It's never been easier to be a missionary

Right now, in the eastern US, it's about 10:00pm. Chances are, if you're not asleep right now, you're just chilling with your phone or laptop or TV. Which is fine; God built is in such a way that down time is good for our bodies, which are temples of His Holy Spirit.

Even so...a little too much down time is a problem. We know this instinctively; spend a few hours watching TV, and that feeling of unfulfillment afterwards is a good cue that we were made for more. If only there was something more meaningful to do...if only there was a way to do the noblest of duties, that of spreading the news that eternal life is offered to all, in this quiet time of winding down after a long day.

You may be familiar with random chat rooms. Some are websites, some are apps, but either way, these are places where people go for human contact when human contact is hard. Sometimes, it's just to do something fun. But from my experience, I went to these random chat rooms years ago as a little cry for help, when I was feeling very lonely. And random chat rooms became very popular during the pandemic!

Some people are called to be missionaries to the military; some are called to be missionaries to a particular religious group. But all of us, with a little free time & decent Internet, can be missionaries to the lonely. Now not everyone comes to these chat rooms out of loneliness...but lonely or not, these are people who want some kind of conversation. I assure you that quite a few ditch you as soon as you mention anything religious; count it all joy, you just got rejected like Christ was by so many. But maybe those are the ones who need it most. Simply being kind & present when we bear the name of Jesus carries a lot of weight. Pray for success, for yourself & for all of us, and take a leap of faith.

Here's an article that talks a little about chat rooms. You can use one of the rooms mentioned in the article, or look up some more to go be a very limited, but very real missionary for Christ. What, do you have something better to do?

Peace to you all.

Six dead in shooting at Hamburg [Germany] Jehovah’s Witness center: local media

A deadly shooting erupted at a Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall in in Hamburg on Thursday evening, leaving several dead, according to police.

At least six people are dead and seven people injured, CNN affiliate RTL/NTV reported.

--

"We only know that several people died here; several people are wounded, they were taken to hospitals," police spokesman Holger Vehren said.

Vehren said police were alerted to the shooting about 9:15 p.m. and were on the scene quickly.

He said that after officers arrived and found people with apparent gunshot wounds on the ground floor, they heard a shot from an upper floor and found a fatally wounded person upstairs who may have been a shooter. He said police did not have to use their firearms.

Vehren said there was no indication that a shooter was on the run and that it appeared likely that the perpetrator was either in the building or among the dead.

I did something horrible 13 years ago and I still can't shake it

When I was 14, in high school, there was a boy in my grade who was a tiny bit intellectually disabled. Tiny bit; I barely knew him but he was a nice kid and he was pretty normal over all.

Anyway, one day during passing time (the 5 minutes or so to get from one class to another) I was behind him (kind of to the side) in the hallway with a bunch of other kids. And for some reason, I decided to whisper "kill yourself, [kid's name]." I think he heard me because I was close to him, and I remember him being startled; he went down the stairs and looked back up at me. I'm not sure why I even did this horrible thing!

Not long after, we found out that one day he'd been hit by a car and killed. It was a very open stretch of road, there's no way he didn't see the car. And even some other kids were saying he killed himself (a rumor got started that another boy told him to kill himself). And the boy who died would bike to go take care of chickens, but he was on foot when he walked out in front of the car. Even the driver in the report was like "he just walked out in front of me."

I'm convinced this poor boy killed himself. And I'm convinced I contributed to it. It's been 13 years, and every few years I remember it. I feel like I need to turn myself in to the police or something.

I just don't know what to do. I know God forgives me, but there has to be some kind of human repercussion for this.

Perhaps you could donate your time volunteering if you feel you need some sort of atonement. I know you know God has forgiven you, but the fact that this still plagues you means you may not have forgiven yourself. Go with Christ.

Israel Is In a Turmoil

Israel is in a turmoil as the governing right wing coalition wants to limit judicial review of proposed laws. I'm surprised these events have gone under the radar here. Maybe Christians arent as interested in Israel as they were in years past when end-time pastors would have the ear of the White House, etc.

Explainer: Uproar over Israeli judicial changes - what's it all about?

There's massive protests on many fronts. The country seems badly divided.

The power of God when a preacher admits he was wrong.

It takes a real man to admit he was wrong. We are only human. the true power of God will return. I'm speaking of Benny Hinn who has a video showing his repenting of using gimmicks to receive prosperity. One especially was giving a 1,000 dollars and God will give back. He said he has been preaching that for many years and apologizes. He also says God hates it and it is a abomination. Hopefully other preachers will see this and repent to. God's looking for faith for all to do his will, and restore( true) apostolic power.

Child Marriage Ban Bill Defeated in West Virginia House

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A bill that would have prohibited minors from getting married in West Virginia was defeated Wednesday night in a legislative committee.

The Republican-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee rejected the bill on a 9-8 vote, a week after it passed the House of Delegates.

In a rebuke, Cabell County Democratic Sen. Mike Woelfel reminded the committee after the vote that Wednesday was International Women’s Day.

Some of the bill’s opponents have argued that teenage marriages are a part of life in West Virginia.


Kanawha County Republican Sen. Mike Stuart, a former federal prosecutor who sided with the majority, said his vote “wasn’t a vote against women.” He said his mother was married when she was 16, and “six months later, I came along. I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”

The limited (scope of) appearance of Jesus post resurrection.

Good day, All

Act 10:39 we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”


Do you think if he had appeared to all people more would have believed?

Certainly would have assisted God in His attempt to save all people... right?

In Him,

Bill

Jesus did not do away with the law in Mat 5:17

Mat 5:17 is the most quoted verse to "prove" that Jesus did away with the law and that believers today are not under the Mosaic moral law in the Old Testament. People today love to proclaim that believers are not under any rules because of God's "grace" and love. Yes, a free pass to sin and ask God for forgiveness and with a snap of God's finger, all is forgiven. Some even claim that believers need not ask forgiveness for any sin because Jesus's death on the cross covered all of our sins, past, present and future.

One again, these false teachings come from the traditions of men and are not found in Scripture.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy but to fulfill.

As I have stated countless times, any time you read anything in the New Testament, you have to discover the Jewish meaning of what has been written down in our English translations. Scripture wasn't written in English nor did Jesus speak English. Who was Jesus speaking to? Not us who speak English today. He spoke Hebrew/Aramaic to Jewish people. He spoke to other Jews within a Jewish cultural context. Culture always determines the meaning of the words used. The two main concepts used in determining what things meant in ancient culture are studying the history and culture of the people, in that time era.

Just as the terms "bind" and "loose" were used in conjunction with the interpretation of Scripture, "destroy the Law and the prophets" and "fulfill" were also terms used when determining what Scripture taught. In the 1st century, if one rabbi thought that another rabbi was misinterpreting Scripture, he would tell the other rabbi, "You are destroying the law and the prophets." If a rabbi was believed to interpret Scripture correctly, he was said to be "fulfilling Scripture."

So, Jesus had communicated to the Jewish listeners: "Do not think I came to misinterpret Scripture. I came not to put forth false teaching but to teach the correct meaning of Scripture."

That is what the Jewish people understood Jesus to have said. If you get away from the false teaching practice of only reading certain verses and no further, Mat 5:18 clearly shows that heaven and earth will pass away until all things are accomplished. Guess what? "All things" won't be accomplished until Jesus returns, Mat 26:64, and separates the sheep from the goats, with the sheep being given eternal life and the goats being punished, Mat 25:31-46.

If you want to run to Rom 10:4, you need to know that instead of the verse reading that Jesus is the end of the law, the verse, properly translated will read, "For Christ is the GOAL/PURPOSE of the Law."

Do "thou shalt not murder, steal, commit adultery or bear false witness," still apply to believers today? Those are part of the Old Testament Law. Did Jesus do away with those commandments? The Mosaic Law instructed for God's people to be kind to strangers, to show mercy, to help out the poor and needy and honor thy father and mother. Are those a part of a believer's life today or did Jesus do away with them?
The Law needs to be looked at as instructions for the Jews then and believers today rather than a strict set of rules.

When Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, Mat 4:4, are believers today supposed to live that way? That instruction comes from Deut 8:3. Or how about, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God," Mat 4:7? Does that apply today? It comes straight from Deut 6:16. What about "Thou shall worship the Lord thy God and him only, Mat 4:10? Jesus was quoting Deut 6:13. What about Mat 19:19, "Honour your father and mother, Ex 20:12 and "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, Lev 19:18? What about what Paul wrote in Rom 12:19? He took this from Deut 32:35. Most of you know that Deuteronomy means a "re-telling or a re-giving" of the Law. The book of Deuteronomy is quoted over 60 times in the New Testament. The book of Romans has 30 direct quotes or references from the Old Testament. There are direct quotes, paraphrases or references to/from the Old Testament in every New Testament book!

If Jesus was going to do away with the law, why did he say;

Lk 11:28 Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it.

John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21 He that has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me...

John 14:23 If a man love me, he will keep my words...

John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love.

The huge majority of instructions in the New Testament come straight from the Old Testament. The Old and New Testaments are not two separate parts of Scripture; they are intertwined. The New is just a continuation of the story.

Five Women Sue Texas Over Abortion Ban

NYT - The women, backed by an abortion-rights group, say they were denied abortions under state law despite risks to themselves and their fetuses that made the procedure a medical necessity.

Five women who say they were denied abortions despite grave risks to their lives or their fetuses sued the State of Texas on Monday, apparently the first time that pregnant women themselves have taken legal action against the bans that have shut down access to abortion across the country since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The women — two visibly pregnant — plan to tell their stories on the steps of the Texas Capitol on Tuesday. Their often harrowing experiences will put faces to what their 91-page complaint calls “catastrophic harms” to women since the court’s decision in June, which eliminated the constitutional right to abortion after five decades.

The suit asks the court to affirm that physicians can make exceptions, and to clarify under what conditions. But its greater power may be in appealing to public opinion on abortion. Similar lawsuits over exceptions, focusing public attention on stories of women who were denied abortions despite medical dangers, helped build momentum for legalized abortion in heavily Catholic Ireland and in South America.

The women who are bringing the suit contradict stereotypes about who receives abortions and why. Married, and some with children already, the women rejoiced at their pregnancies, only to discover that their fetuses had no chance of survival — two had no skulls, and two others were threatening the lives of their twins.

Though they faced the risk of hemorrhage or life-threatening infection from carrying those fetuses, the women were told they could not have abortions, the suit says. Some doctors refused even to suggest the option, or to forward medical records to another provider.

The women found themselves furtively crossing state borders to seek medical treatment outside Texas, worried that family and neighbors might report them to state authorities. In some cases, the women became so ill that they were hospitalized. One plaintiff, Amanda Zurawski, was told she was not yet sick enough to receive an abortion, then twice became septic, and was left with so much scar tissue that one of her fallopian tubes is permanently closed. Ms. Zurawski became pregnant in early 2022 after 18 months of fertility treatments. In her 17th week of pregnancy, and the day after she made the guest list for her baby shower, a scan found that her cervical membranes had begun to prolapse. Specialists told her that her fetus, which she had begun thinking of as her baby, would not survive.

Doctors told Ms. Zurawski they could perform an abortion only if she became acutely ill
or went into labor naturally, or if the fetus’s heartbeat stopped. That night at home, her water broke, but when she went to the emergency room, doctors said she was not in labor. Without amniotic fluid, the fetus would die, but it still had a heartbeat. And because Ms. Zurawski’s vital signs were stable, they said, she did not qualify for an exception. The hospital sent her home.

Three days later, her doctors again told the Zurawskis they could not legally abort the fetus because it still had a heartbeat. At home that night, Ms. Zurawski developed a fever, and her husband called the obstetrician to ask to go to the hospital. “We were in this mind-set of, ‘Surely now you’ll accept us,’” Mr. Zurawski said. A nurse told them, he said, that doctors would have to receive approval from the hospital’s ethics board. He finally rushed his wife to the emergency room later that night. There her fever spiked to 103.2 degrees. Doctors confirmed that she had a blood infection and said her life was now in danger, so they could induce delivery without violating Texas’ abortion ban. Later that night, she developed a secondary infection. Doctors told Mr. Zurawski that they had to give his wife a blood transfusion to stabilize her enough to move her to the intensive care unit. The couple’s families flew in, fearing that she would die.

Ms. Zurawski left intensive care after three days, and the hospital after a week. Two months later, she had an operation to remove scar tissue from her uterus and fallopian tubes, but the doctors were unable to clear one.
“You don’t think you’re somebody who’s going to need an abortion, let alone an abortion to save my life,” Ms. Zurawski, 35, said. “If anybody reads my story, I don’t care where they are on the political spectrum, very few people would agree there is anything pro-life about this.”

If a pregnant woman actually dies after being denied a live-saving abortion, will Texas lawmakers rejoice, or will they mourn?

Vindication.

A couple of chaps knocked on my door some time back and wanted to tell me about the great matter that the whole of creation has a deep interest in, wanting to see it resolved once and for all.

They explained it to me; apparently, Jehovah (that is alleged to be God's name) was accused of making errors in ruling the world. He was accused of holding back vital information, and of making a mess of things. His accuser was an angle named Satan. So, from the time that accusation was made Jehovah has been setting matters straight so that all will know he is Good and rules justly and with honour. He is, in effect, vindicating his name.

It's an interesting take on the scriptures, do you think it holds water?

Ashamed of the Gospel?

2 Timothy 1:8-10 ESV

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

The Gospel Message

Now these are Paul’s words written to Timothy, but we can still learn from them, for the message here is repeated for all of us in other passages of Scripture. None of us who profess faith in Jesus Christ should be ashamed of our Lord and of his gospel, for if we are, Jesus said, then he will be ashamed of us when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels (Luke 9:26; cf. Romans 1:16; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 4:16).

But we are to share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God. So, what is the gospel? It is that Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of God, and is God, left his throne in heaven, emptied himself and took on the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And when he was around the age of 30 he ministered to the people on the earth and he preached the gospel of our salvation. But he was hated and so those who hated him had him put to death on a cross when he was around age 33.

But it was the will of God that Jesus Christ should suffer and die on that cross, for when he did, he who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God. For he died that we might die with him to sin and live to his righteousness. He died that we might live for him and no longer for ourselves. And he shed his blood for us on that cross to buy us back for God out of our lives of sin (to redeem us) so that we might now honor God with our lives.

For, by God-given faith in Jesus Christ, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin, and we are raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, not like our old lives, but free from slavery to sin and in walks of holiness and righteousness, in obedience to our Lord Jesus. Therefore, we are not to let sin reign in our mortal bodies, to make us obey its passions. For if sin is what we obey, and if obedience to our Lord is not what we obey, it will lead to death, not to life eternal with our Lord.

[Philippians 2:5-11; Isaiah 53:1-12; 2 Corinthians 5:15,21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 6:1-23; Ephesians 4:17-24; Romans 8:1-14]

Suffering for The Gospel

For Jesus Christ taught us that if anyone would come after him that he must deny self, take up his cross daily (daily die to sin) and follow (obey) him. For, if we hold on to our old lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose them for eternity. But if for the sake of Jesus we die with him to sin that we might live to him and to his righteousness, then we have the hope of eternal life with God. But if we are ashamed of him and of his words, then he will be ashamed of us when he returns to gather up his bride (Luke 9:23-26).

So, how and why will we suffer for the gospel by the power of God? Because we are living holy lives, separate (unlike, different) from the world, because God is conforming us to the likeness of Christ. And because we are sharing the truth of the gospel, and not the lies, and we are calling people to repentance (to turn from their sin) and to follow the Lord Jesus in obedience. And also because we are teaching what Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught regarding the conditions for our salvation, the same ones that Jesus taught (Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23; John 6:35-58).

Hated and Persecuted, Jesus’ words: [Matt 5:10-12; Matt 10:16-25; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 6:22-23; Lu 21:12-17; Jn 15:18-21]

Called to a Holy Calling

For Jesus Christ did not save us from our sins so that we could continue living in sin guilt free. He saved us and called us to a holy calling. And to be holy is to be separate (unlike, different) from the world because we are being made to be like Jesus in character and in deed. And so we no longer live in sin like we did before we believed in Jesus Christ, but now we walk (in conduct, in practice) according to the Spirit and no longer according to the flesh. For if we live according to the flesh, we will die in our sins.

Now, this was not a result of our own fleshly works. For we can do nothing in and of ourselves to be acceptable to God. We can do nothing in ourselves to earn or to deserve our own salvation. Our own fleshly works will not secure for us salvation from sin nor eternal life with God. For even the faith to believe in Jesus Christ comes from God and is gifted to us by God, and we can’t even come to faith in Christ unless God the Father first persuades us as to his holiness and righteousness and of our sinfulness and of our need to repent of our sins and to walk in obedience to him (Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 12:1-2; John 6:44; Romans 1:18-32; Ephesians 4:17-24).

But this doesn’t mean that our faith or our salvation are absent of works. It is just that the works which are now required of us are the works of God which he prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. And it is his design and purpose for our lives that we should always be abounding in the work of the Lord. And we are also going to be judged by God by our works, as well, for if we do not obey him, we do not have eternal life in him.

Works Required of Us:
[Eph 2:8-10; 1 Co 15:58; 2 Co 9:8; Gal 5:6; Php 2:12-13; Col 1:9-14; 2 Thess 1:11-12; 2 Tim. 2:21; Tit 2:11-14; Jn 15:1-11; Tit 3:8; Jas 2:17]

Judged by Our Works:
[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; Jn 6:35-58; Jn 15:1-11; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; 1 Co 6:9-10; 2 Co 5:10; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-11; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6; 1 Jn 3:4-10; Heb 10:23-31; 1 Pet 1:17-21; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

Witness daily; His will do.
Tell the world of how their Savior
bled and died.
On a cruel cross He suffered
So that we might be alive.

Evolution and the Circle of Life.

The idea that all living organisms are descended from a common ancestor is a fundamental concept in the theory of evolution, which describes how species change over time through the processes of natural selection and genetic variation. The circle of life, on the other hand, is a metaphorical concept that describes the interconnectedness of all living things in nature, as well as the cyclical nature of birth, death, and rebirth in ecosystems.

While the two concepts are related in that they both describe the interrelatedness of different living things, they are distinct from each other in terms of their scientific and metaphorical underpinnings. The idea of a common ancestor is based on empirical evidence from fields such as genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy, while the circle of life is a poetic or metaphorical way of understanding the complex interactions and dependencies between different organisms in ecosystems.

Nine boxes of Biden documents were taken from Boston office

Despite having possession of the documents since November, the Archives has not yet reviewed the boxes' content to determine whether additional classified materials are inside.

"NARA has not reviewed the contents of the boxes found at Mr. Moore’s Boston office," Wall states in the letter dated Tuesday.
Time was supposedly so important to find classified documents that they raided Trump's residence and rifled through the personal effects of his family members. Now it turns out that NARA had documents from Biden before the election and has not got around to examining those documents to this day.

DeSantis Debunks Book Ban Hoax

Here we go...


Now for some time many people have openly defended the authors, teachers, curriculums, and administrators who have been wailing about Florida’s book ban....as well as the bans in many other states.

DeSantis has decided to hold a conference where he outright shows everyone what is in these books so they can see why they are banned.

The link above will take you to his page and a synopsis of that conference without any explicitly graphic material.

The links on the page however, will show you the conference and the explicit material. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If anyone still feels like they can defend children being exposed to blatant pornographic material....I'd like to hear why.

For the rest of you, take a big bite of humble pie. You were lied to....you were being lied to....all you had to do was a minimal amount of effort and take a look for yourself.

Enjoy. As far as I know, video content from this conference has been banned on Twitter and YouTube for being too sexually graphic.
