I've been following what's been going on with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This newest report is tragic and the actions of these schismatics is purely demonic and evil. Video captures brutal attack on priest at Cherkasy cathedral (+VIDEOS)

So many people today are cutting the gospel message short, and they are reducing it to a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ, or to a mere acknowledgment of what Jesus did in dying on that cross to save us from our sins, and an acknowledgment of his resurrection from the dead. And they are limiting faith in Christ to a once-in-a-lifetime decision to receive Jesus Christ into your heart whereby you are now forgiven of all sins and you are guaranteed heaven as your eternal destiny. But is that true?

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).

Yet so many are limiting the grace of God to forgiveness of all sins and to the overlooking of all future sins, and to the guarantee of heaven when you die, but regardless of how you live on this earth. But is that Biblical grace?

The Scriptures teach us that the grace of God, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

[Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 3:23-25; Romans 5:1-2; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 2 Corinthians 6:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 6:24; Hebrews 10:26-31; Hebrews 12:12-17; 1 Peter 2:24]

So many people today have this false notion that their salvation from sin is merely forgiveness of all sins so that they will no longer face God’s wrath and so that heaven will be guaranteed them when they die. However…

By God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

There is way more to the message of the gospel of our salvation than what the majority in the USA are telling the people. We are not saved from our sins just so we can escape the wrath of God and go to heaven when we die. And we are definitely not saved from our sins with the intention to keep walking in deliberate and habitual disobedience to God’s commandments, in sin, and that God’s grace will cover it all, and that heaven will still be secured us upon death, since we “prayed the prayer to receive Christ.”

Read all the above and below Scriptures referenced in this writing, and you will learn to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth of God’s love, of his salvation, of his gospel message, and all that he intends for us as his followers (his disciples), that we will live holy lives, pleasing to him, that sin should no longer be what we practice, but that obedience to our Lord and to his commands must now be our practice. For Jesus put our sins to death with him so we will die to sin and live for him.

For our faith in Jesus Christ should be that which is from God, which is persuaded of God, which is gifted to us by God, and which is aligned with God’s will and purpose for our lives. For biblical faith requires that we die with Christ to sin and that we now walk with God in obedience to his commands, and that sin and disobedience should no longer be what we practice. For if sin and disobedience to God are what we practice, we will not inherit eternal life with God, but we will face the wrath of God, instead.

[Matt 7:13-14,21-23; Lu 9:23-26; Jn 10:27-30; Ac 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; 1 Pet 2:24; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,15-17; 1 Jn 3:4-10]

As the Deer

By Martin J. Nystrom
Based off Psalm 42:1

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

To Know Christ’s Love
An Original Work / June 19, 2025
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

Hello everyone!

I’ve launched a Christian Minecraft server today called “Acolyte”. Although it’s a Christian server, it’s open to anyone, but the main goal of me pursuing this was to combine two things that I love and make an area where people can talk about faith and build some cool castles. The server is meant for Java edition, 1.21.5, and has plugins such as land claiming, economy, shops, terrain generation, etc. It’s a survival / smp world, and the server address is: acolyte.mcsrv.pro

There’s a Discord server linked to it as well. It’s a place to hangout, talk about the game, have theological discussions, and hopefully meet some pretty cool people. The invite is available on the Minecraft server. I’m still new to a lot of this, and so please forgive any downtime or tweaks that I make to the server, and please give any feedback or criticism if you come up with some ideas. I truly hope you all enjoy it if you get the chance to join.

Believe these all work (Heb. 11, Matt. 17:14-21, 21:20-22). Try to be calm and casual about it. Doing so is authority demons will be more vulnerable to (Gal. 5:22-23, Matt. 7:28-29).

Ask for all the spiritual gifts God is willing to give you. For example, spiritual gift of knowledge will help you understand the Bible. While Spiritual gift of martyrdom will not guarantee death, it will make it easier to enter Heaven should you be close to death. Spiritual gift of voluntary poverty won't put you on the street, but it'll make it easier to cope with loss of possessions in favour of a strengthened relationship with God (Luke 18:18-30, Matt. 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31). I cannot prove this one Scripturally, but if ever offered unlimited Pentecostalism, reject it. It's a test. Choose safety over power, because abuse of such power will result in long term Holy Spirit loss until appeals are made.

Put on the Armour of God (Eph. 6:10-20). Pray for it to be with you at all times.

Put on the spiritual chains (1 Cor. 10:12-13, Eph. 6:19-20, Phile. 1:8-16, Phil. 1:12-18). Ask for the spiritual chains to help prevent you from blaspheming The Holy Spirit. Ask God to make them permanent. Choose 18 personality traits you want gone. For this one, I recommend the Acts of the Flesh in Koine Greek; Mania, Hubris, and Anti-Agape. You can change these selections any time you want.

Get and stay spirit-filled (Gal. 5:13-26, John 20:21-22). One recommended way is go over the acts of the flesh saying, "It is finished," in a genuine manner. Ask God to refill you with The Holy Spirit. If one is pure flesh, prayers can go unanswered (Prov. 15:8, 15:29).

Say, "The Lord rebuke you," (Jude 1:9, Zech. 3:1-2). Drive many demons away in a simple, effective manner. Not everything can be done through prayer alone.

The Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:1-13, Matt. 6:5-15). Some can only come out through prayer and fasting (Mark 9:28-29, Matt. 17:19-21). All manner of prayer and entreaty is pleasing to the Lord (Eph. 6:18, 1 Luke 18:1-8, Thess. 5:16-18). Believe while being spirit filled, and for the right reasons (John 16:23-24, Luke 11:9-13, Mark 11:24, Matt. 7:7-12, 21:20-22).

(Rhetorically) Quote Scripture (1 John 4:1-6, Luke 4:1-13, Matt. 4:1-11), such as the Ten Commandments (Deut. 5:1-22, Ex. 20:1-17). "Is it not written, 'Do not bear false witness,'" etc. Some demons leave through asking questions, so test them thoroughly, especially if one has spiritual gift of prophecy (1 John 4:1-6, 1 Thess. 5:19-22). With audio Bibles and freeware program, Audacity, you can make audio files of multiple Scriptures playing at once to drive away demons. Up to seven playing at once is recommended to prevent drowning them out.

Worship. Psalms and hymns are a good source (Eph. 5:19). Play Christian music, as it drives some demons away (Ps 69:29-36, 1 Sam. 16:14-23). Avoid sinful music, as it only attracts demons. Practice daily gratitude (Ps. 50:14, 69:30-32).

Use the Lord Jesus Christ's name (Acts 16:16-19, 19:11-20, Matt. 28:18). Some demons step outside their domains (Jude 1:6), so be sure to bound them for judgement at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 16:19, 18:18).

The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act" would overturn the amendment to the Ohio constitution, voted on in 2023, that establishes "an individual right to one's own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion" before viability.

"[It] is a very, very simple and beautiful piece of legislation in that all it does is identify all human beings as persons deserving equal protection of the law, both born humans and pre-born humans," anti-abortion advocate Austin Beigel, with End Abortion Ohio, told ABC News.

When Beigel was asked if he was concerned that the bill may go against the will of the voters, he said he was not because "the will of the voters was evil."

Peace in Christ.

Behold, He comes QUICKLY….that is, shortly…WITHOUT DELAY. For yet a little while, He that IS COMING shall arrive….and will NOT TARRY…that is, will NOT DELAY.

Rev 22:12
(12) And, behold, I come quickly (WITHOUT DELAY); and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

His life is to be made manifest in our mortal flesh. We are to manifest His PRESENCE in our mortal bodies to the people of the outside world (the saved people) who then will be drawn to Him. He shall not delay as it will happen. We shall not mortally perish until we see it.

Yet, the scoffers in the man-based churches (when they will hear the Word of Truth) will come forth and scoff: “where is the PROMISE of His coming (presence)?”

Coming = PRESENCE (Greek: Parousia= presence.) They think and preach that Jesus is DELAYING HIS COMING.

They are of the people of the “prince that SHALL COME”…that is, delaying his coming. They are the ones actually preventing His manifest life from appearing in this world so that it could be saved.

2Pe 3:3-4
(3) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
(4) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming (PRESENCE)? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

But and if that evil servant (we have all been "evil servants" because we have all been part of/partakers of the man-based churches) shall say in his heart that the Lord DELAYS HIS COMING when they will hear the truth of the gospel….the Word of Truth…the good news of our salvation in our mortal bodies. They will scoff in their unbelief: "where is the promise of His presence?"

Mat 24:
(48) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

They will persecute those who are preaching otherwise….and many will join along with them in their evil words and deeds towards what they will hear.

(49) And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

His fellowservants are those who reveal His life in their mortal flesh....the revealing of the Son of man. They will preach that Jesus IS COMING in the flesh...our mortal flesh.

We must be ready...watching at all times for the Son of man (one of His fellowservants) will come in such an hour we think not. We do not know when we shall cross paths with a person who has the Son of man manifested. We must let brotherly love continue at all times.

Mat 24:44 KJV
(44) Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

We ...the believers of His Word of Truth...shall be persecuted by the unbelievers in the man-based churches who will continue to think that the Lord DELAYS His coming when He does not delay as He said: behold, I come quickly…without delay.

We must not cast away our confidence in our faith of the Word of Truth that has illuminated our minds. We shall be persecuted by the “evil servants” who think that the Lord delays His coming.

After we have done the will of God, we shall receive the “promise”…the promise of His presence made manifest. There is a great recompence of reward…..for we shall receive the promise of His presence now in this mortal body which will then attract the people of the outside world who will see Him through us.

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 yet a little while, He that IS COMING shall arrive….and will NOT TARRY…that is, will NOT DELAY (in contrast to the preaching of the man-based churches that say that He IS DELAYING His coming.)

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

Let us HEAR the Word and ENDURE in our faith of it in the face of the persecutions of those who are in the man-based churches whom we once loved and participated in, We shall be persecuted by those whom we were once close to…..and it will not be pleasant.

Mat 13:20-21 KJV
(20) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Some will endure for a while but when the tribulation or persecution arises because of their faith in the Word, they are IMMEDIATELY tripped up…falling away immediately from that faith.

(21) Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

The Just One shall live by faith. He shall arrive and will not delay. "Behold, I come quickly."

We must not “draw back” to the man-based churches in fear of the persecutions that shall arise. Let us not draw back unto perdition.

Our soul shall be persecuted by them…but we are to believe to the saving of the soul as when He arrives ….His presence is made manifest in our mortal flesh…then our soul shall rejoice immensely.

Heb 10:38-39 KJV
(38) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(39) But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Let us repent (change our minds) and be converted….turn back to the living God…so that our sins may be blotted out so that the times of refreshing shall come from the PRESENCE/Face of the Lord. He will send Jesus Christ to each one of us as His life...His presence...shall be made manifest in our mortal bodies. Others shall then see His face as we shall reflect Him to others.

Greek: prosōpon = face, countenance

Act 3:19-20 KJV
(19) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence ( prosōpon =face or countenance)of the Lord;
(20) And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

We must turn from idols…the images that are being served in the man-based churches…to serve the living and true God….the living and true Judge.

The “images” are their church handwritings of ordinances (such as “statements of faith”) that they are keeping in order to self-govern and judge with rather than keeping and serving the commandments of God that is within us. They are using/serving their images to JUDGE others with supposedly in the name/authority of God. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols". These things lead us to our mortal death. Those who are serving their images are practicing THE lie of the serpent.

1Th 1:9-10 KJV
(9) For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols (IMAGES) to serve the living and true God;

We must depart from their churches…turning to God from their images.

Behold, I come without delay. We are to wait for His Son from Heaven whom God will send to us after we have done His will. God already raised Him from the dead so that we might have His life NOW which delivers us from the wrath to come….death. He that IS COMING shall arrive and NOT DELAY.

(10) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

We must be not unequally yoked together with the unbelievers…..the man-based churches as they will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it. What agreement does the temple of God have with “idols”…with their IMAGES?

We MUST come out from among the man-based churches (who are keeping and serving their images and will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it).

We must come out from among them (who are "dead" in their trespasses and sins") and be separate from them so that He receives us. He will dwell in us and walk with us and we shall be His people. He will be our God...our living and true Judge. We shall no longer serve their "images"...their "other gods" that they made to keep and serve...to judge others with.

2Co 6:14-18
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols (IMAGES)? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

This is Dr Bruce Wauchope giving a talk about our union with God and the why of Universal Salvation, it will stretch you, but it resonates with my spirit and answers a lot of questions for me.

The Gospel and Soul Health - Part 1: Introduction VOLUME 1: The Gospel of Union. VOLUME 2: Christian Fish in Greek Soup. VOLUME 3: Soul Health. Bruce Wauchope presents his "The Gospel and Soul Health". In this 2023 series of videos entitled “The Gospel and Soul Health, Bruce introduces the family of the Trinity, Dad, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, that will to quote Dr Kruger, "Astonish your Hearts, Blow your Minds" and "Create ignited conversation" and a deeper awareness of Christ in you. It is composed of 3 volumes with a total of 70 videos. VOLUME 1: The Gospel of Union ( Structured around John 14:20) Chapter 1: Jesus is in the Father Chapter 2: We are in Jesus Christ Chapter 3: Jesus Christ is in us. Chapter 4: In that day…. VOLUME 2: Christian Fish in Greek Soup. ( How we got into the modern confusion) VOLUME 3: Soul Health. ( How the soul heals) Chapter 1: Outline of Soul Healing Chapter 2: The Conscience Chapter 3: Other Internal Structures Chapter 4: The amygdala trauma and darkness In Volume 1, Chapter 1, comprising 8 videos, 8 Non-Negotiables are laid down that establish a hierarchy of thinking - a hermeneutic, based on Jesus Christ. For Bruce, these are Non-negotiable. The Gospel is to be experienced and lived, it is about "a person in you who you did not put there, but find there". We are called to let Christ love us and to love back. These videos provide a sequential introduction to this early church understanding. Healing flows from the person and message of Jesus Christ and this series outlines some of this flow. Most of the messages are 20 to 30 minutes in length, keeping it coming in short bites. Bruce's understanding is in sync with St. Athanasius, St. Cyril of Alexandria, and the work of T. F. Torrance, J. B. Torrance, and Dr C. Baxter Kruger.

It's not "new" news, but it's something that needs to be talked about much more than it is.

In this opinion piece by Lawrence O'Donnell, he addresses the possibility, shared by numerous psychiatrists, that Donald J. Trump is suffering from increasing dementia. He expresses alarm at Trump's wondering why he could not fire Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Fed, and assume the role of Fed Chairman himself. He attributes this not to hunger for power but to not having the cognitive awareness of how the U.S. government, which he leads, works. He then talks about Americans' increasing anger at Trump's failure to control inflation due to his stubborn insistence on disproportionate tariffs, which the Fed and leading economists believe will create high inflation and result in the closure of some American businesses and unemployment. He illustrates the mental decline by describing how Trump in the Oval Office pointed to the Declaration of Independence and said that I think we could have prevented the Civil War. 600,000 lives were lost.

Yes, it's an opinion piece, but I think that it is compelling.

It's the worst job market for college graduates in many decades, and Paul Krugman, Noblel winning economist, speculates on the reasons.
He doesn't blame AI, although he thinks that could be a threat in the future. But the reasons he gives are:

1. An economy frozen in uncertainty, due to off again on again tariffs. Companies are afraid to "invest" in new college graduates who will require lots of training.
2. Federal employees flooding the job market--70% of whom have college degrees.
3. Erratic immigration policies.
4. Drastically reduced investment in scientific research.

So how long will it take for students graduating into this bad job market to recover from their bad luck? The answer, according to a 2023 survey by the National Bureau of Economic Research, is basically “forever.” Graduating into a bad labor market can make you miss a step on the job ladder, depressing your earnings for a decade or more. It increases your chances of being in poor health well into middle age. It even reduces your chances of having a successful marriage.

Oh, and you’ll still be burdened with student debt, now that Trump has reversed the Biden administration’s efforts to offer some relief. Bad Times for College Graduates

Click to expand...

So Gen-X parents of Gen-Z graduates, better not turn those bedrooms and basements into game and hobby rooms yet. Your children may be moving back.
And who's to blame? The usual culprit!

Medicare insolvency moves from 2036 to 2033. Social Security from 2035 to 2034.

Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, an advocacy group for the popular public benefit program said in a statement that “there are two options for action: Bringing more money into Social Security, or reducing benefits."

So, what’s the message for us here? Faith in Jesus Christ is not lip service only. It is not just a verbal profession of faith in Jesus Christ whereby the “believer” is now assured of forgiveness of all sins and heaven as their eternal destiny. The faith to believe in Jesus, which comes from God, and which is persuaded of God, and which is gifted to us by God, and is not of our own doing, results in us dying with Christ to sin and being raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as obedient servants of our Lord, whose desire it is to please God.

So, as those who profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are not to live as the ungodly do who have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity, because of the hardness of their hearts against God. We should not have learned Christ in a way in which it gives us permission to keep on in deliberate and habitual sin against the Lord, in walks of impurity and in sensual pleasures. And yet, that is what many are being taught. They believe that a profession of faith assures them eternal life with God even if they are making sin their practice.

So, what is the truth that we all should have been taught? What is the truth that is in Christ Jesus? It is that, by God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we put off our old sinful self which belongs to our former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful and wicked desires. In other words, we die with Christ to sin. Sin is no longer what we practice. And we are renewed of the Spirit of God in our minds so that we no longer desire sin in the way that we once did, and so that we now put on our new self, created to be like Jesus and true holiness.

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 that really says it all! Jesus Christ did not give his life up for us on that cross so that we would continue living in deliberate and habitual sin and not in walks of obedience to his commands. He died so that we would die to sin and live to him and to his righteousness. He died so that we would no longer live for ourselves but for him who gave his life up to free us from our slavery (addiction) to sin. For his blood was shed for us on that cross to buy us back for God (to redeem us) out of our bondage to sin so that we will now serve the Lord Jesus with our lives in walks of obedience to his commands.

[Matt 7:13-14,21-23; Lu 9:23-26; Jn 10:27-30; Ac 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; 1 Pet 2:24; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,15-17; 1 Jn 3:4-10]

My Sheep

Based off John 10:1-30 NIV
An Original Work / June 24, 2012
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

My sheep hear me. They know me.
They listen to my voice and obey.
I call them and lead them.
They know my voice, so they follow me.
They will never follow strangers.
They will run away from them.
The voice of a stranger they know not;
They do not follow him.

So, I tell you the truth that
I am the gate, so you enter in.
Whoever does enter
Will find forgiveness and will be saved.
Nonetheless whoever enters
Not by the gate; other way,
He is the thief and a robber.
Listen not, the sheep to him.

Oh, I am the Good Shepherd,
Who laid his own life down for the sheep.
I know them. They know me.
They will live with me eternally.
The thief only comes to steal and
Kill and to destroy the church.
I have come to give you life that
You may have it to the full…

They know my voice, so they follow me.

Put On The New Self
An Original Work / June 19, 2025
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

My latest article is addressed to the "No King" protestors. Titled "Make America a Monarchy Again"

Hi everyone,


does anyone know of a good Roman Catholic review of the film “The Name of the Rose”? It can be a text, audio, or video. I’m really interested in how the film is viewed or interpreted from a Catholic perspective. Thanks in advance!

I was able to obtain a physical copy of Katherine Bushnell's book "God's Word to Women". I have read some of it and wanted to know if you all wanted to have a thread where we can discuss the book? The author says some very interesting things.

WAY WAY underrated! Brilliant singing! I was blown away by it. Only 55 views. Let's bump this up!

All I was taught was OSAS and just believe in Jesus at a young age. Apostates have a false "intellectual" faith just as it says in this book, "Perseverance and Apostasy in the NT". I would say the hardest part to understand is hearing about the word "apostasy" in the first place as an unpardonable sin or an actual doctrine and not just a "phenomena". the most important doctrine I never heard of...
According to the Reformed Presbyterian view, apostasy can be committed by anyone at any time in many ways. I was told that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit/Ghost was impossible nowadays when I heard about it when I was young but apparently that is completely wrong. There are apparently different words for "apostasy" that are all synonyms. I know a lot of Arminians discuss this topic but according to the Presbyterian view, you cannot become saved once you are an "apostate". It's basically set in stone. Apparently only Presbyterian/Reformed take it seriously enough, regardless I never heard about it growing up in a Lutheran church denom. Maybe people get taught about it from their parents. Maybe I was in the one church that didn't mention it in sermons or whatever. Basically has to do with "moral apostasy" following 10 commandments ,more than endless doctrine points which can be corrected; Numbers 15:30 and Leviticus teach only sins of ignorance and unintentional are forgivable. Basically without the Holy Spirit, it is inevitable that one commits apostasy, apostates never received the Holy Spirit. This is basically the whole point of the New Testament, The actual word "apostasy" only occurs maybe once in the NT so I didn't know.
Apostasy= the unpardonable sin = blasphemy of the Holy Spirit(by works Ezek 20:27) = unforgivable sin= denial of Christ = sin against Jesus= sin unto death (1 John 5:16) = sin against conscience= presumptuous sin = high handed sin = willful sin = intentional sin = deliberate sin = "the transgression" (book of Daniel) ; also lying to the Holy Spirit, testing the Lord, contempt of the Word of God, breach of faith

example of saved person, God has mercy :
Hears Gospel at age 7--> repents---> receives Holy Spirit---> is justified--> can now only do "moral aberrations/backsliding" and keeps 10 commandments--> grows in holiness in sanctification
example of apostate, God hardens:
Hears false Gospel at age 7 doesn't get it --> receives Evil Spirit possibly even --> cant' keep 10 commandments (antinomianism)--> apostate, can't repent according to Isaiah 6, Jeremiah 11:11, or Jeremiah 14:11
(*only the Holy Spirit is capable of renewing the mind and heart to make right decisions in life, therefore not renewing yourself at a young age sets you up for failure and apostasy, it's not something you develop, you must ask God )
So basically John 14:15.
So I thought about it as a "phenomenon" or mostly about Christian doctrine but that is not how the New Testament talks about it. You can believe mentally but not be saved, it's just a figment of your imagination if you don't have good works. Seraphim Rose talks about it as a doctrinal phenomenon, that's not what it is. Also most Reformed only quietly talk about it amongst themselves, and they just say "apostasy" , not the "sin of apostasy" so I never got the point of it. Apostasy is a terrible word and then "apostasize" is even more ridiculous wording. Then you have all of these sources saying that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not possible anymore, that is wrong.
The people who were taught early and received the Holy Spirit, do everything right. Ecclesiastes 12:2,13,14
Repentance is for the young, but they don't tell you unless you're around the right people; The word "traitors" or "betrayers" would be better. So the "unpardonable sin" is not one sin but not receiving/rejecting the Holy Spirit by actions and not dedicating yourself to God ideally at age 7 or 8, which makes sense, a lot of pastors I know say they were saved at a very very young age and explains why society is what it is. it's better to be taught right from a young age as it says in Ecclesiastes and society is designed to make you apostate with the atheist school system and letting you play video games all day or distracted by politics or the stock market; then you would need to find someone to take you to a better church without a train system like in the 1800s with trolleys...instead we have this ridiculous car/bus system, it should be more like Japan... certain parts of the country have it easier. oh well this is just my reflection on this ........good luck to all...

In the late 1960s to the early 1970s human remains from a Pleistocene site at Lake Mungo Australia were found, which included the remains of a “Mungo Lady” and “Mungo Man” both dated around 42,000 years old.
“Mungo Lady” is the earliest example of human cremation found while the remains of “Mungo Man” were covered in red ochre indicating some ritual or religious significance.
The remains of the individuals indicated they were of a gracile form like modern day humans, but not far from Lake Mungo at Kow Swamp the remains of anatomically more robust individuals which were dated 9,000 – 13,000 years old.

Here is an AI summary of both sites.


This presents a problem as the logical assumption was the initial migration to Australia 65,000 years ago were by the robust type individuals who later evolved into the more gracile form.
The current consensus is that there was no separate migration waves to Australia of peoples of robust and gracile forms or some form of evolutionary reversal, but over time, in-situ diversification—cultural, environmental, biological—led to robust variations in the late Pleistocene.

Here is a video on the Lake Mungo archaeological site including the issues of science clashing with indigenous peoples which is a global issue where excavations are considered desecrations of ancestral sacred sites.

I had the misfortune of watchig one this morning. Reporters would ask questions, and he would start extemporaneously inventing the most bizarre and outrageous scenarios, usually ending with self-praise because he saw himself as so much smarter than the person he was criticizing.

After two or three of these forays, I wondered why they even bother to ask questions. All the press is doing is giving him the time to spread lies, hatred, and revenge fantasies. Did he really answer one of the questions about Iran by talking about how he had won the 2020 election, everyone knew he did, Democrats tinkered with the vote. Really? Yes, really.

And then, "Are you going to bomb Iran?" To which he said maybe yes, maybe no, he won't know until it happens.

CNN related later that a source confided that Trump had already drawn up bombing plans and authorization the night before.

And then I just SMH. Because if he did that, we'll be reading about it in "The Atlantic" tomorrow morning.

No more press briefings--don't give him the opportunity to obfuscate, threaten, bully, insult, revisit past grievances...Give him one chance to answer a question. If he doesn't, leave with your microphone and camera, saying "No air time for you!"

The Global March to Gaza has been touted as one of the largest demonstrations of its kind in years. The initiative seeks to highlight the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, who have faced a bombardment due to Israel's war on Hamas.

The arrests in Egypt follow Israel's interception of a boat carrying activists on their way to Gaza, including environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg. Egypt has cracked down on pro-Palestinian activists even as it publicly condemns Israeli aid restrictions and has called for an end to the war.


Perhaps the people they were expecting to be "allies" aren't as "enlightened and progressive" as they were expecting them to be.

I suspect that, much like Brittney Greiner (after being returned from Russia, opted to start standing for the anthem again) will have a newfound appreciation for their home countries.





TFW you realize you're not in a westernized country anymore...
