In Luke 6:5 there is an intriguing variant found in Codex Bezae, (D).
The Greek text, (in lower case modern Greek) reads as follows.

Luke 6:5 Codex Bezae (D)
5 τη αυτη ημερα θεασαμενος τινα εργαζομενον τω σαββατω ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε ει μεν οιδας τι ποιεις μακαριος ει ει δε μη οιδας επικαταρατος και παραβατης ει του νομου (!)

My reading:

Luke 6:5 Codex Bezae (D)
5 In the same day, having seen someone working in the Shabbat, he said to him, O man, if indeed you know what you do, blessed are you: but if you know not what you do, accursed you are, and a transgressor of the Torah!

It seems highly unlikely that a church scribe would take it upon himself to simply add this into the text, (for what reason would anyone do so? especially with such a difficult statement to comprehend) and rather, it appears to be a remnant-artifact held over from an older slightly different version of the passage, (Luke 6:1-11).

Observation: In this statement the Master upholds the Shabbat, in no uncertain terms, but his understanding of Shabbat observance does not appear to be the same as the interpretations of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes.

Question: What could be the most likely meaning of this statement in its context?

An interesting note. The NA28 doesn't print the variant, probably because it's the sole manuscript with this and it's lengthy. The NA28 gives the two major variants:

"οτι" in 2 A D K L Γ Δ Θ Ψ ƒ13 33. 565. 892. 1241. 1424. 2542 latt txt 4vid א* B W ƒ1 579. 700

¦ txt א B W 1241 syp bopt

Codex Bezae (D) is known for many distinctive readings, if I'm recalling correctly, and I'm pretty sure I'm recalling correctly. So finding something unique or distinctive only in Codex Bezae isn't necessarily surprising. Given this, I think the many distinctive readings of D outweigh the argument that this variant something that every other mss dropped out, but Bezae left in. Much more likely, Bezae just has it's own distinctive readings, for whatever reason, as it often does.

It also has a unique variant in the very next verse ("και εισελθοντος αυτου παλιν εις την συναγωγην σαββατω εν η ην ανθρωπος ξηραν εχων την χειρα")

..and in the previous verse ("τη αυτη ημερα θεασαμενος τινα εργαζομενον τω σαββατω ειπεν αυτω· ανθρωπε, ει μεν οιδας τι ποιεις, μακαριος ει· ει δε μη οιδας, επικαταρατος και παραβατης ει του νομου")

In any case, the variant in D doesn't replace the standard reading of Luke 6:5. The standard reading occurs after vs 10 in Bezae (Western Medieval Manuscripts : Codex Bezae). So Bezae shuffles things around and adds it's own material. It doesn't look to me like there's a good argument for D's variations here being original.

Theologically speaking, if I were a sabbatarian, I would focus on the prioritization of laws in places like the Mishnah and Tosefta for understanding Jesus' healing and grain plucking on the Sabbath.

More than a dozen pro-life activists are still in prison or awaiting sentences on federal charges brought by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) for protests at abortion clinics — but President-elect Donald Trump has signaled he will likely grant them presidential pardons.

Under the current administration, the DOJ increased its prosecution of pro-life activists under the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The legislation was designed to increase penalties for people who obstruct access to abortion clinics or pregnancy resource centers.

During Biden’s tenure as president, the DOJ has brought FACE Act charges against more than 30 people who took part in pro-life protests at abortion clinics. Most of the charges were linked to four demonstrations: in Nashville, Tennessee; Mount Juliet, Tennessee; Washington, D.C.; and Sterling Heights, Michigan.

It may come as a SHOCK to older Evangelicals, but Project 2025 writers
THINK that they want to impose a dictatorship on America, and establish

Upper middle class white Evangelicals, who have voted for Trump in the past,
NEED TO SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THE POLITICAL GOALS OF TRUMP, AND THE

Many retirement age "Evangelicals" who don't read a lot of news feeds, and

of the (Republican) Neo-Conservatives are.

Are you kidding. Reading the first 20 news items on google is bound to come up with 20 woke left media outlets all telling lies about Trumps agenda and polcies.

TRump himself has said that he has nothing to do with project 25 but the Leftist media keep telling the lies as they have been found out many times doing.

But lets just stop to consider some of the ideas within project 25 and see if they really are detrimental to black communities.

As far as I know ideas like scrutinising abortion and ensuring it doesn't happen unnecessarily is a good thing for blacks considering the vast majority affect black communities.

I am sure the idea of the importance of a mum and dad and family unit is important to black communities considering that 80% plus belong to churches and are Christians.

During the 40, and 50s black communities were 90% Christian and had the strongest communities and families. There was little to no abortion, fatherless kids, broken families, drugs, crime and other problems.

Since then progressive policies that have destroyed the family and parents and relationships black communities have only known devastation. Including the hioghest abortion and fatherless family rates as well as poverty, drugs and crime that go with it.

So I think its the other way around. Whatever project you want to call the Lefts Woke progressive agenda is, maybe 'Project Destruction' that they have been pushing in the last few decades its wrecked black communities. This is what has been destroying not just black communities but society as a whole.

Are they runnig from something perhaps. People don't packup their entire lives and leave their home nation due to a change in government. You can still live as you did. Trump ain't stopping lesbian relations or that leites can still get rich and live luxurious lifes.

He's just stopping the rot, the fall out of crazy woke ideologues trying to not only live liberally but make everyone else do the same. If anything conservatives have been living under liberalism for decades and we have leant to adjust our lives accordingly.

But it was the stepping over the line where the Left were using government to attacks certain beliefs that was the problem and anyone, no matter Left or Right should support stopping such abuse of power.

Plus England ain't no better and in fact is getting worse with riots all over the place due to immigration issues and Woke policies. Maybe they could come to Australia as de Rossi is an Aussie. But no thanks.

I think its funny. Most refugees around the world want to come to the US as its one of the most free nations in the world. While at the same time elite celebs are leaving because they think its the most unfree nation in the world. If they care so much let them go and live in the nations refugees come from and give them some of their money to help them.

If we are deceived, we are believing lies as though they are truth. And much deception is willful, i.e. it is a conscious choice to believe the lies and to reject the truth because the lies are more comfortable than the truth, and the lies give you more liberty to sin than does the truth. And the BIG lie that is permeating the church today is that we can “believe” (usually not biblically defined) in Jesus Christ one time in our lives, then have all our sins forgiven (past, present, and future), and be guaranteed that heaven is our eternal destiny, regardless of how we live. But this Scripture rejects that notion.

So, we are not to be deceived, because God cannot (will not) be mocked. And if we mock God it means that we are turning up our noses at his truth, and we are deriding and insulting the truth of his gospel. And it means that we are rejecting the truth of the gospel in favor of the lies. And it means that we are mouthing empty words of faith in Jesus Christ which are not followed up with action, for we are confessing faith but we are not living the faith that we profess. So, we need to understand and believe that God is indeed going to judge us by our works. See:

[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]

Now this passage teaches here that we are all going to reap what we sow. In farming terms, if I sow seed for corn, I am going to reap corn. In spiritual terms, if I sow sin, I am going to reap death, not life eternal. But if I sow righteous living and obedience to my Lord, I am going to reap eternal life with God. For if I live to the flesh, I will die in my sins, but if I live to the Spirit, in obedience to my Lord, then I will have heaven as my eternal destiny. So, we can’t just profess faith in Jesus Christ and we are good to go. We must walk in obedience to his commands and no longer in sin.

And then one more thing from verse 9. We who are sowing to the Spirit, and not to the flesh, are not to grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP. Do you understand what this is saying? Our salvation and our eternal life with God are conditional upon us continuing in walks of obedience to our Lord, and on us continuing in walks of holiness and righteousness unto the very end. We can’t just go halfway with God and then stop and return to our vomit and then expect our Lord to let us into his heaven. We must stay the course unto the very end. See:

[Matt 7:21-23; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 9:23-26; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Heb 9:28; 1 Pet 1:5; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; 1 Pet 2:24; Tit 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-9; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; Heb 3:6,14-15; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

For Our Nation

An Original Work / September 11, 2012

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

You use and abuse,
And you tell tall tales.
You promise to change,
But to no avail.

When you’re asked to change,
Then you raise your claws.
You rage and refuse
To give truth applause.

Then, you seem to know
Of what you did wrong.
You cry and confess,
Promise change, now on.

You seem that you work
On your attitude.
You seem to be kind,
And show gratitude.

But, suddenly you
Are back at the start,
With no evidence,
Of change of the heart.

You twist and you turn
All you said you knew,
To your advantage;
Disregard the truth.

The tables now turned,
You’ve the upper hand,
You’ve conquered your foe,
So you comprehend.

You put her in place.
You’re the victim, sure.
It’s her fault that you’re
the mess that you are.

But, if truth be told,
You are still deceived,
Believing the lies
That your pride do feed.

You keep repeating
All the same defense,
Proclaiming ign’rance,
And you don’t relent.

You don’t own up to
The reality,
For you are living
In a fantasy.

If you want vict’ry
Over all your sins,
Then humble yourself,
And to God, give in.

Let him have control
Over mind and soul.
His grace will cleanse you
And will make you whole.

Yes! Indeed! He whispered in my ear the words of this poem and I wrote them down. All glory to God.

Now, as followers of Jesus Christ, we all have to obey our Lord’s commands under the New Covenant. Obedience to our Lord and to his commands is one of the necessary components of genuine faith which saves. The other is the forsaking of our sins and the putting of sin to death daily, by the Spirit. The New Testament is filled with instructions for us from God which tell us what we are to stop doing and what we need to be doing, instead, if our faith in Jesus Christ is genuine believing faith which is continuous and active.

[Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 8:51; John 10:27-30; John 14:15-24; John 15:10; Romans 2:6-8; Romans 6:16; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Philippians 2:12-13; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 5:9; 1 Peter 1:1-2; James 1:21-25; 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6,15-17; 1 John 3:4-10,24; 1 John 5:2-3; 2 John 1:6]

We are not, however, under the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, sacrificial, purification and dietary laws and restrictions, including the requirement of circumcision of all males. Those were done away with when Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross and he brought us into a New Covenant relationship with him. But the New Covenant is not lawless. We still have commands of God we must obey, which are primarily his moral laws. We, as his followers, must obey our Lord, in practice.

Now, not everyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ is presently walking in obedience to his commands. Many are they who are living in deliberate and habitual disobedience to God. They are the idle and the slothful, the vain and the worthless, who are lovers of intoxication to sin. They are the self-indulgent who think only of themselves and their sinful cravings without regard for who it impacts and who it hurts. They are settled in their dishonesty, immorality, wickedness, maliciousness and utter selfishness.

They are the sexually immoral, those who practice homosexuality, and those who are liars, deceivers, and tricksters. For they are lovers of intoxication to sin who put their sinful cravings above God and above their spouses and their children, for they are thinking only of themselves and what they want. And so they turn their backs on those they are to love and protect so that they can get their “fix.” And so they shut out God and their spouses so that they can indulge in their sinful activities in secret and then cover them up.

Many of them live in a world of fantasy, filling their minds with one fantasy after another after another without regard for God or for their family members and their needs. For everything is about them and what they want. And so they are resistant to change. And so they keep putting off what they know is necessary for them to walk in freedom from slavery to sin and to be faithful and loving to God and to their spouses and children. And they do not surrender their lives to Christ to walk in his ways and in his truth.

And even though many of them know the truth of what God’s word teaches us regarding his commands and with regard to what will happen to us if we do not surrender to our Lord, and if we do not obey him, and if we continue in deliberate and habitual sin, without conscience, and without remorse, they still turn their backs to God and to their spouses (and children) and they continue in their self-indulgence, even knowing that it will land them in hell, and not in heaven, but they block that reality out of their minds.

And with regard to murderers, there are many ways in which one might murder another. One of the most severe ways presently is via abortion, i.e. the taking of human life while the child is still in the womb of the mother. They deliberately and willfully murder the child before they remove the child’s body parts from the womb. But they cover it up by calling it something else. But that is hypocritical. For if the mother kills the child it is not regarded as murder, but if someone else does it, it is called murder.

And then there are those who willfully abuse others for their own advantage. And this may be physical abuse, or it may be mental and emotional abuse, or it may be sexual abuse, or it may be spiritual abuse. And the abusers can be anyone, including pastors of “churches” and heads of governments and the news media and parents and children and spouses and doctors and lawyers and anyone in any position of power and influence over other people. And much abuse is unprovable unless the abuser confesses.

And these who commit all these horrific sins are not all who make no professions of faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, many who make no professions of faith in our Lord live more morally pure lives than some (or many) of those who make professions of Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives. For in our day and time it is barely distinguishable between the church and the world anymore. So many professers of Christianity are living not much differently from those who make no professions of faith in our Lord.

So, we need to understand here that a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ will not secure heaven for anyone. For Jesus said that not everyone who says to him, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one DOING the will of God the Father. Many will stand before our Lord on the day of judgment proclaiming what they did in his name, and he will say to them, “I never knew you. Depart from me you workers of lawlessness,” because they would not obey the Lord (Matthew 7:21-23).

Jesus Christ also taught that if anyone would come after him that he must deny self, take up his cross daily (die daily to sin and to self), 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 Jesus’ sake we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in the power of God, then we have salvation from sin and eternal life with God. For if we are ashamed of Christ in this life, he will deny us when he returns.

[Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 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; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,15-17; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

Demonstrating against war crimes by supporting the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

But the point of the images I posted is that so far it seems that in general universities don't have dress codes that ban political, religious, and ideological views for the most part. And if such codes were implemented that would mean also banning wearing anything that supports the pet causes of liberalism, such as no attire that expresses support of LGBTQ+ PRIDE as one example out of several.

I have a feeling you knew the point I was making and just didn't like it.

As to school shootings, well at this point we are numb anyway. If mowing down 6 year olds couldn’t start a national movement, then nothing will. School shootings have become no more tragic than road accident statistics.

I second this; I would not allow it at any point. Even if you did not intend to do wrong, “… whoever dares to depart from the unity of Peter might understand that he no longer shares in the divine mystery…‘Whoever eats the Lamb outside of this house is unholy’” (Pope Gregory XVI, Commissum divinitus #11). Moreover, Pope Leo XII's Ubi Primum #14: “It is impossible for the most true God, who is Truth itself, the best, the wisest Provider, and the Rewarder of good men, to approve all sects who profess false teachings which are often inconsistent with one another and contradictory, and to confer eternal salvation on their members… by divine faith we hold one Lord, one faith, one baptism… This is why we profess that there is no salvation outside the Church.” I would highly suggest not to do so, and to follow concretecamper's advise.

God bless.
