I am watching The Twister: Caught in the Storm now

Rabbi's Daily Devotion ...


David resolved to praise his God “continually.” He awoke each morning with prayer and praise: “In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.”

I love that the priests of Israel were commanded to praise God every morning and evening: “They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening.” Our praise and prayer are to be perpetual, which means we must be bold enough to say, “Praise God,” in public. Through our praise, we become lights revealing Father to the world.

I realize there is a time and place for everything, but too often we aren’t conveying God’s praise to the world as we should. Beloved one, don’t let anyone keep you from acknowledging your Creator! David didn’t compartmentalize his life so that he only praised God in specific places or at certain times. All David’s talk was seasoned with praise to HaShem.

Likewise, we need to love God so much that we don’t hesitate to speak of His goodness. May His praise be continually in our mouths, for we “are a chosen race, a royal priesthood…a people for God’s own possession, so that [we] may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider, Entering His Presence (Lake Mary, FL: Charisma House, 2023), Used by permission.

Both knew, and Jesus also recognized that the temptations were a recapitulation of Israel in the desert. Every temptation Satan presented was a test the Israelites faced and where they fell short, Jesus succeeded and quoted the passages from Deuteronomy that were relevant to the temptations.

What is the knowledge of God’s will? Well, there is his expressed and definite will for our all of our lives expressed in the Scriptures, which is for all of us who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives. And then there is God’s will for us individually, which is not expressed in the Scriptures, but which is discerned of the Holy Spirit as he calls us and directs us in the ways of the Lord in doing the specific will of God for our individual lives, but which must never contradict the written will of God in the Scriptures.

For God has assigned each of us specific body parts within the body of Christ, as a whole, and he has given us gifts of the Spirit individually which are to be used of God to minister to the body of Christ to encourage one another in our walks of faith in obedience to our Lord. For we are all necessary parts to the proper working of the body of Christ, his church, as each of us fulfills our God-given assignments under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and in the power of God, but never from our own flesh nature.

[Acts 2:14-18,42-47; 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 5:15-21; 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]

And this is not to be led of man, but of God. Certainly what we do within the body of Christ must be in line with the will of God, which is expressed in the Scriptures, and if done in a group setting, it should fall under the authority of the church elders (overseers) who should be men of God of great integrity and spiritual maturity. Or it should fall under the authority of whoever is leading a gathering of the church, the body of Christ, but still according to the will of God and according to the teachings of God and not of flesh.

But please note that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord,” is a child of God and a servant of the Lord and of his righteousness. There are many “wolves in sheep’s clothing” among us disguised as pastors and elders and ministers of the gospel who are not of God but are of human flesh. And so they are not under the authority of God and his Word, but they are under human authority, often being led by marketing literature on how to “grow their churches” and how to attract the world to their gatherings, so not of God.

So be wise and be discerning in who you listen to and who you get your direction from, and make sure what you are hearing and believing is truly of God. And we do this via prayer for spiritual discernment and by being serious students of the Scriptures who study them in their appropriate biblical context, comparing Scripture with Scripture to make certain that what we are believing is the truth of God’s word, and not the teachings of human wisdom and knowledge that is separate from the will of God.

And the purpose of us discovering the will of God, via the Scriptures, is so that we will walk in a manner worthy (proper, suitable, fitting) of the Lord, to please him all respects. And no, we are not pleasing to God merely because we once made a verbal profession of faith in him with our lips. But we are pleasing to God when we are obeying his commands, and when we are doing his will (both the collective and individual will of God), and when we are putting sin to death in our lives, by the Spirit, and we are living holy lives.

And if our faith in Jesus is genuine biblical faith, and we are walking (in conduct) in a manner worthy of God, to please him in ALL respects, it should be obvious by what we produce, by us bearing fruit (spiritual results) in every good work, which God prepared in advance that we should walk in them (see Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14). But all of this is not of human flesh, but only as led by and empowered by God, as he teaches us steadfastness and patience, giving thanks to God for and in all things, “who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light (Christ).

[Matthew 10:37-38; Matthew 22:8; Luke 9:23-26,62; John 15:1-11; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Galatians 5:6; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1; Philippians 1:27; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-14; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; 2 Timothy 2:21; Titus 2:11-14; Titus 3:8; James 2:17]

A new apostolate brings the ‘saints back into the heart of the Church’s life' on the feast of the Veneration of the Holy Relics.

Today marks the feast of the Veneration of the Holy Relics, and to mark the occasion, Anthony Di Mauro, founder of The Relic Project, has unveiled the world’s first map of relics.

Following the example of St. Carlo Acutis who created a website to chart and catalogue the world’s Eucharistic miracles, Di Mauro’s latest project is the first interactive digital map of relics, all accessible through an online platform, uniting “faith, technology and tradition” in a creative way.

Speaking to a crowd gathered at a fundraiser to celebrate the official launch, Di Mauro said:

“After encountering a hidden relic in my home parish, something in me awakened. I began searching for more throughout my diocese, only to realize how many sacred treasures were hidden or undocumented. That’s when it became clear: The Church needs a comprehensive database of relics, so we can truly know who we have, where they are and how the faithful can benefit from these treasures in their midst.”

Continued below.

In the Vatican Apostolic Library rests one of its most treasured possessions: the “Gospel of Qaraqosh,” a richly illuminated Syriac manuscript dating back to the 13th century. Catalogued as “Vat. Syr. 559,” it was penned in A.D. 1220 by monk Mubarak ibn Dawud al-Bartelli of the Monastery of Mar Mattai near Mosul.

Written in Estrangelo Syriac script, the manuscript gathers passages from the four Gospels used in the Syriac liturgical year and is adorned with vivid miniatures depicting scenes from Christ’s life and miracles.

According to Father Behnam Soni, an expert on Syriac Church Fathers, the manuscript endured multiple thefts throughout history but was repeatedly reclaimed by the faithful of Qaraqosh, who finally offered it to the Church of al-Tahira. In 1937, Bishop Georges Dallal presented the precious volume to Pope Pius XI, who entrusted it to the Vatican Library for preservation and study.

Measuring roughly 44 by 33.5 centimeters (17.32×13.19 inches) and bound in black leather with a gilded cross, the “Gospel of Qaraqosh” stands as a masterpiece of medieval Christian art and devotion.

Are you talking about Margery telling the truth. That Republicans aren't doing their job. Why isn't the Republicans outraged over that? Yes she has weird views.

My Presbyterian pastor was a prison chaplain for a while. He met some incarcerated conmen when he was there.

He commented "I wonder if there is salvation for con men! I really do!"

He added "They told so many lies that I wondered if they knew what the truth was themselves after a while".

They could be very convincing. He said they could sit on the other side of his desk and just about sell him the shoes off his own feet.

So "Is there salvation for conmen?"

Sure there is but they must repent just like the rest of us.

The messenger of YHVH, the apostle paul, did.

Did Apostle Pal kept every single commandment of God? No. Thus he was a sinner in need of a Saviour.

Have you learnt nothing from Paul's letters?

Romans 3
“None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” - this includes Paul

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, - this includes Paul

Romans 7
9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

Ditto! Shalom y'all

You are welcome to pray for me if you feel inspired. I feel like I’m stuck in worldly matters, even though I would like to live a more spiritual, Christ-like life.

Here we see religion failing to properly serve politics like its supposed to now.

In cases like this, infringement is appropriate.

Ethics in Internet

Quotes below from link above, emphasis in quotes is mine.



It is important to note that since the time of this Papal document, the Popes have had private meetings with the owners, heads, or CEO's of all the major social media platforms. Many of which we have all witnessed exercising a great deal of censorship on their platforms. These of course only represent the censorship the public at large has noticed and therefore brought forward to be addressed.

Here we have an address from the Vatican intending to define the parameters and or narratives of communication on the internet. Which it had apparently already addressed regarding the media, and has continued to address to date regarding social media as well. Basically a call to regulate that which it has considered to deregulated. These regulations should be implemented in line with the principles of what the Vatican describes as the common good. So, who determines or defines what the common good is? Adolf Hitler’s twenty fifth point of his 25 Points of the Nazi Party was - Common Good Before Individual Good. Adolf and the Nazi’s are pretty much gone for now, so whose common good are we talking about exactly? Obviously, we are talking about the common good as defined by the Vatican and Popes. Who is the Vatican to be calling for these regulations by nations on a global scale?

It most certainly is not the voice of the people of the various nations via the representatives they have elected to convey and implement their political desires. The Vatican stands among and as another international globalist institution of unelected officials, who wish to impose their politics upon the various nations of this world with or without the consent of the people of these nations. Just like all the other international globalist institutions of unelected officials, desiring to do the same. The Vatican itself has stated and supports the implementation of the rule of certain of these international globalist institutions over all nations. All of which is to specifically bypass the will of the peoples of nations in favor of the rule of unelected elitist international globalist officials in cahoots with each other. Of which the Vatican itself is a major if not the most significant players. Being herself a monarchal leftover from the dark or middle ages, this is the form of authoritative government she most fully supports and has most often supported throughout her lengthy history. To create such a system on a global scale, would be to recreate the conditions under which the Vatican ruled with the kings of this earth for over a thousand years. Just a global version of the dark ages with the Vatican and unelected officials of international organizations ruling together over all. Rather than the dark ages version of the Vatican and unelected kings, queens, and royalty ruling together predominantly over all European nations.

Authoritative government and censorship walk hand in hand. We have already and do continue to witness attempts by globalist and or left leaning entities to censor speech that does not support and or contradicts their narratives. The most recent and appalling examples being demonstrated during the Covid-19 plandemic. As we continue to examine the topic of censorship, I intend to reveal the direct connection between the so called common good, and the same. The following post will be an article from the days of Hitler himself addressing the dangers of a supposed common good. After which we will continue to address the present Papal document under examination, followed by many other Papal documents defining “The common good”, and its connection to authoritarian government and censorship.

Are you seriously blaming the Roman Catholic Church for the censorship of certain left-leaning tech firms?

I would point out you have no evidence - not even circumstantial evidence, that the Roman church has conspired with these firms. The fact that the Pope has met with their leaders is immaterial - the Pope meets with a number of people, and different Popes have had different agendas. For example Pope Leo XIV is concerned about the dehumanizing uses of AI, as am I.

Obviously since chatGPT is about to allow users to generate erotica, which the RCC is opposed to, the Pope does not have much influence over the tech industry titans.

I really feel like this accusation, and your accusation of 120 million Roman Catholic caused fatalities in the Middle Ages, are off base in the extreme, and would like to know where you found them. Whoever is responsible for initially propagating these allegations should either bring forth real evidence or apologize to Roman Catholics everywhere, such as my pious Roman Catholic friends @chevyontheriver @Michie @Valletta @boughtwithaprice @RileyG and @Xeno.of.athens
