OP Complete! Pt. 10c to come soon!

Have you ever been there where you looked to strong drink or to sensual pleasures to drown out your sorrow and your pain? Sadly, I have been there, a long while ago, but I did go down that pathway for a short while. I had had a lifetime of abuse at the hands of others who were supposed to love and to protect me, and the hurts kept piling on to the point to where I finally gave up and gave in to my flesh, and looked for a way out of my suffering other than through the cross of Christ and his love and grace and mercy.

But, thanks be to God, he rescued me from all of that, and he put me back on my feet and he gave me a firm place to stand, and eventually he called me to this writing ministry which is what I do now fulltime. It breaks my heart to think of what I did, and sometimes I wonder how I ever got there, but I know it was the lies of Satan and his beating me down continually to the point to where I finally surrendered to the flesh and I did not trust the Lord with my circumstances as I should have. So I know failure big time!!

But I am not here to condone such behaviors as this nor to give excuses for my behaviors nor for anyone else’s, especially for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ and who know way better. I am here to share what the Scriptures teach on these subjects with regard to the wrongness of such activities and the dangers of them and the destructive force that they are in the lives of those who surrender to them. For strong drink and sexual immorality of any nature are a deep pit that you don’t want to fall into.

For one, we cannot serve the Lord Jesus Christ with our lives if we are giving ourselves over to strong drink and to sexual immorality. And we cannot love others with the Love of Christ if we are sinning against them by our addictive behaviors and sinful practices. And if you have professed faith in Jesus but then you continued to walk (in conduct, in practice) in sin, the Scriptures teach that you don’t know God and you don’t have eternal life with God. So you must deny self, die daily to sin, and follow Jesus in obedience.

When you are under the control of strong drink or of sensual pleasures, you cannot be under Holy Spirit control, and you end up sinning against those you claim to love, even your spouses and your own children and other people, too, in various ways, because your lives are not committed to following Jesus, but you are giving way to the flesh. And under such influences as these we can lose all sense of moral propriety and good common sense, and other people’s lives will be impacted by our sins.

These types of situations which are a person’s lifestyle, and life practices, and have been for a very long while, with no hope for change in sight, end up destroying marriages and families and children’s lives and their own lives, and they can end up doing permanent damage which cannot be retracted, in some cases. And that is just a very sad reality, for it is all so hopeless, and so destructive, and so selfish, too. And so there will never be true peace for those who are captivated by such sinful practices.

The only hope, and the only way out of such situations as these is total surrender of our lives to Jesus Christ, laying it all down to follow him with our lives and to forsake our lives of sin in order to walk in obedience to his commands. And this involves us accepting God’s sovereignty over our lives and that our lives are going to have ups and downs and heartaches and hurts and disappointments and mistreatments, etc. And these we must give over to the Lord and trust him to help us through them.

We have to also let go of any resentments, bitterness, unforgiveness, pride, or whatever it is that is leading us in the wrong direction, for out of our hearts come both good and evil. And out of our hearts come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander. These are what defile a person. So if what is stored up in our hearts is bitterness, pride, resentment, and unforgiveness, evil is what is going to come out. So our hearts must change first (Luke 6:45; Matthew 15:17-20).

So, if you are at the place of considering either strong drink or sexual immorality as a way to drown out your sorrows, please don’t go there! All you will do is add sorrow upon sorrow along with tons of guilt and regret, and not only will you destroy your own life, but you will have the possibility of destroying other people’s lives, too. And if this is where you are now, please stop! And surrender your lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and trust him with your circumstances and rely on his strength and wisdom.

Jesus Christ is our only hope for healing of our wounded souls and hearts and minds. Other things may be able to mask the pain temporarily, but in the long run they will do more harm than good, especially if they are things which are against our Lord’s commands. So, wherever you are in this, surrender your lives to Jesus Christ today and let him rule in your hearts and minds. Get rid of all bitterness and anger and resentment and pride, and forgive those who have hurt you, and now love your enemies.

Then daily make it your practice to deny self, to die daily to sin, and to follow Jesus Christ and his commands and to wherever the Lord leads you and wants you and desires to use you for his purposes and for his glory. Instead of yielding to the flesh, yield to the control of the Holy Spirit. For the grace of God, which is bringing us salvation, is training us renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. And therein we have peace with God and the hope of eternal life with God.

Sing to Me of Heaven

Songwriters: Ada Powell / Benjamin Burke Beall

Sing to me of Heaven, sing that song of peace
From the toils that bind me it will bring release
Burdens will be lifted that are pressing so
Showers of great blessing o'er my heart will flow

Sing to me of Heaven, as I walk alone
Dreaming of the comrades that so long have gone
In a fairer region 'mong the angel throng
They are happy as they sing that old, sweet song

Sing to me of Heaven, tenderly and low
Till the shadows o'er me rise and swiftly go
When my heart is weary, when the day is long
Sing to me of Heaven, sing that old, sweet song

Sing to me of Heaven, let me fondly dream
Of its golden glory, of its pearly gleam
Sing to me when shadows of the evening fall
Sing to me of heaven, sweetest song of all

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’​

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R) received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clarkover his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights.

Holtorf made headlines back in January when he defended paying for his girlfriend’s abortion, despite being an adamant pro-life lawmaker and abortion critic. “Anti-abortion GOP lawmaker praises the impact of the abortion he paid for,” read the headline of a local report by Clark from the beginning of the year.
...
Clark pushed back, “Why do you seem deny the choice that you said was best for your girlfriend’s life?”

“Let me finish. Let me finish to explain,” Holtorf insisted.

“Why do you seek to deny it to other women?” Clark pressed.

“Let me, let me — I don’t, I don’t,” Holtorf replied.

“You have voted to restrict abortion access,” Clark shot back.

“And I have. And I’m a pro-life person. I think you should try to choose life every time. But there are exceptions. And there are times when you need abortion. Abortion is a medical procedure,” declared Holtorf.

“Is one of the exceptions when Richard Holtorf is the father?” Clark demanded.

Though it happened anyways, indirectly, at times. That's one of the complaints of the Puritans. In the Church of England at the time, it wasn't too rare that you got into the clergy because you were looking for a cushy job and did favors for the king (fortunately this is less of a problem than in the past, with greater separation of Church and State).

Click to expand...

Actually simony was a major problem in the Church of England until the 19th century, with benefices being bought and sold as recently as the 18th century, and also ecclesiastical obligations being attached to some real estate to this day. In the 18th and 19th century, legislative reforms were initiated, but it was not until the 19th century the problem was resolved, and this was a legitimate complaint on the part of the Puritans, and the Roman Catholics alike, in that after the dissolution of the monasteries, which had a disastrous effect on social services in England and Wales, since all hospitals until that time were operated by the religious orders, who did a very good job, unlike the Royal Hospitals that followed, under whose tenure most hospitals such as the Savoy Hospital fell into ruin, and others, such as Bethlehem Hospital, became synonymous with depravity (“Bedlam” being derived from the Cockney pronunciation of Bethlehem). This also happened in Russia when Czar Peter “the Great” as I prefer not to call him sided with the “non-Posessor” faction in the Russian Orthodox Church and laicized a huge amount of church property, closing large numbers of monasteries and church run-hospitals.

Thankfully, nowadays, there are Anglican monasteries and Russian Orthodox hospitals, and in the US the Episcopal Church runs some universities, although not on the scale of the Roman Catholics or Methodists. And simony has of course been eradicated in the Church of England, which is one of the best managed churches in the world when it comes to avoiding various forms of abuse through its comprehensive Safeguarding initiative.

But the Orthodox Church, aside from occasional lapses in the Byzantine Empire and other governments which involved themselves in ecclesiastical affairs which were none of their business, has never had, while functioning autonomously, a major problem with simony, and at present given how poorly most of our clergy are paid the idea is laughable. We have priests making $900/mo or working for free, so if anything, we are guilty of going over to the other extreme in terms of making it impossible for our clergy to make a living as the Apostles said should be the case, and it is a real problem getting cradle Orthodox in some particular churches to donate sufficiently, since they became accustomed to not having to pay for this due to state tithing systems in Europe and due to the ecclesiastical government becoming an ethnarchy under the Millet system of the Ottoman Empire, wherein churches and synagogues became involved in providing courts for Christians and Jews, and the Patriarchs and Chief Rabbis would represent their respective churches and Jewish communities at the Sublime Porte (sometimes unofficially, for example, the Syriac Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East and Yazidis lacked official recognition, but had ethnarchs, who were not, in the case of the Assyrians and Yazidis, the same person as the hierarchs (the Assyrian ethnarch would be the uncle of the Catholicos-Patriarch of the East, and the Yazidi ethnarch was separate from Baba Sheikh, their religious leader.*

* I was just saddened to learn that Khurto Hajji Ismail, who served as Babba Sheikh during the worst of the Syrian Civil War and provided religious leadership to the Yazidis, who have historically been allies of the Christians and hid Armenians during the genocide in 1915, which is why they were allowed to settle in Armenia and represent the largest ethnic minority in that country, died in 2020 - I had not realized he had reposed as I had been distracted by the pandemic, and after al-Baghdadi was killed and Mosul retaken, I was not following the progress of the Yazidis as closely. They suffered the most severe genocidal act in the war, during the massacre of the adult men of Sinjar and the abduction and sexual enslavement of the women and children, who have since been freed, but much harm was caused. It was a genocidal rape, the worst kind of war crime, and one which has happened all too often in recent years. Likewise, while apparently the Antiochian Orthodox nuns abducted by Al Qaeda in the Syriac speaking village of Maaloula in Syria were unharmed, that was a gross violation, and we know that the terrorists regarded nothing as sacred, given their wanton destruction of icons and other acts of vandalism of the local churches.

Thank you. That offers quite a bit more information. No, I don't think I could recommend this book. We're too easily deceived. We know, from scripture, than no less than Peter was cautious about whether a dream was from God or just a dream, and John urged us to try the spirits.

Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness?
All around you seems then to be so much pain.
Sin has run amok within the walls of churches.
For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain.

Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain,
Making jokes about the sacred things of God.
For a laugh, they will compromise the scriptures to
Keep the people coming back. Does this seem odd?

There is so much focus on the things so worldly.
Entertainment of the masses is the game:
Step on anyone who may oppose the circus;
On the innocent, then, cast on them the blame.

Where are all the godly men who’re called to lead us?
Does it seem to you they’ve all but disappeared?
In our pulpits, we have many who are actors,
Playing roles, they tell us lies; they do not care.

Does it seem to you, there is no one who’s honest?
That manipulating people is the scheme?
Building businesses, which Christians then call churches,
Is the purpose, and the passion, and the dream?

Have you noticed that the family is hurting?
And, that marriages are now suff’ring the same?
This is now a troubling crisis situation.
And, this calls for us to call on Jesus’ name.

We must pray for God to bring a great revival,
So to bring his people down upon their knees.
May they turn their hearts now back to faith in Jesus,
So that for him they would live, and strive to please.

The best Bible version is the one that you'll actually read.

That means find one that speaks to you, that you can understand, and that feeds your spirit. It does no good to have a scholarly version with full notes and connotations if you read a chapter and two minutes later, have no clue what you just read. Get one that you can absorb. Bible Gateway is a good method to make comparisons.

Anything deemed to be in competition with the Communist Party of Cuba is squeezed, and this includes the Christian faith. Church leaders or believers who speak out against human injustice or political corruption – or who dare to criticise the regime – risk interrogation, arrest, smear campaigns and even prison sentences.
Because churches require registration to be legal, the government can deny the registration or simply ignore the application of some religious groups, forcing these churches to operate illegally. This gives the government an excuse to shut them down whenever they please. In these cases, the government then imposes penalties on churches, including fines, the demolition of buildings, church closure and the confiscation of property.
Churches permitted to register with the government do so under extreme scrutiny and monitoring. All churches are monitored in Cuba and may be infiltrated by citizens sympathetic to the regime and/or State security agents.

Contempt and xenophobia by the ultra-orthodox towards anybody that isn't like them is hardly new, unfortunately. As Israeli society and government has shifted to the right, they are probably feeling more emboldened.

Due to the ecological changes of whole genuses of both trees, and other forms of vegetation and animalia having been extinguished due to an admixture of all the worlds pollution in what had engulfed the entire world would probably have killed much of what was in the ocean as well.
So regarding both the ecological changes
which if it was raining so extensively
that would mean that there was an atmospheric phenomena occuring.
Which brings other notation of rationals
being that there might have been atmospheric changes that which explains Noah's acknowledgement of
of God's declaration of the end of the tribulation as the restablization of the atmospheric changes must have provided for the view of the ever first rainbow as we know it today.
New King James Version
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Genesis 9:17
Whether there was a possible different spectrum of light in which the world had a different formation of light refraction through what was the prediluvian world, I don't know.
Life span differentials before and after the flood changing over the period of a few generations are likely due to the ecological and atmospheric changes which no longer allowed for such life spans to occur.
Also because there are findings of narration of the same occurrence through out the world from multiple
geological origins than it is known that there were other refugees and survivors of the flood. Which are not attested in the Holy Bible due to Noah's act was one of preservation and salvation that was apparently centuries in the making. Which establishes both that other things do occur in the world and that more than likely the post flood era was not from a progenitor of eight people on the entire earth and preservation of the human race but in the situation of Noah was really the involvement of God in a particular situation that was an act of God.

Besides the genetic entropy of life spans going from hundreds of years to one hundred and twenty in a few generations due to genetic degradation by incest is unlikely. The ecological changes that had occurred is more than likely responsible for the changes in the biology of human beings and life spans.

Now while pending on who you ask and what view of history you accept,
There is the question of technology which is likely to have been since all these megaliths keep showing up with parametric accuracy towards the constellations so it is undeniable that whatever had occurred, to us would be considered to have been technology which brings us to Noah and the ark.
Whether Noah had brought on board the animals themselves and was able to accommodate them for 150 days would have required proper dwelling facilities for the animals or if we want to really take things into an odd context since while faith is indeed a factor in any situation. Did Noah preserve pure genetic samples from animals and reestablished their posterity with perfect
replicability thus preserving God's original blueprint. And did these faculties and the ark itself become a vestige of the prediluvian era that because of the changes to the world's physiology and certain facets had degraded or collapsed, had made the prediluvian tech no longer applicable?
And so genesis moves on to the reemergence of human civilization where the story picks up with a Mesopotamian living amongst the what seems like the Sumerian culture where which God takes him up to a mountain to witness that Abraham should not be like the people who practice such things as they did and so a goat is provided alluding to that the guilty will be sacrificed in place of the innocent in concordance with Moses's law and further brought us the truth and power of mercy that is Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ being the exegesis of truth and the spirit of prophecy.
I myself consider Jesus Christ to be the 11th commandment being mercy and forgiveness as to why Paul said that the law could not save, because after the old testament all knowledge was found to be of no redeeming quality in the end.

Berean Standard Bible
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.
He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
Romans 8:3-4

It was found and discovered that mercy and forgiveness would be the new testament; the unfeigned testimony of the unmastered frontier that is actual love through mercy and forgiveness acclimating respect. And of course there is one who had actually lived and proved and paved the way for all acclimation to follow by being the embodiment of respect; that is from God.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth
New King James Version
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Colossians 1:16

I saw this film recently. It's very good as far as Christian movies go, almost as good as Silence or The Mission. One of the best movies of the time period, depicting the early Church. Which is surprising as most have historically not been great films. The characters are far more realistic than in alot of Christian films (even though the film is historical fiction and not strictly historiography), and the depiction of the early Christian community is more historically accurate according to what modern scholarship reveals, than in previous films of the time period.

Though I'm guessing the film is mostly seen by Christians, it's meant to appeal to a wider audience, and lacks some of the pious, wooden conventions of older Christian films. The tone and pacing of the film is meditative, meant to lead to contemplating what is ultimately important in life, and the use of lighting in this film has some beautiful scenes meant to be evocative and dramatic. It deals with complex moral issues with maturity, like the value of nonviolence and forgiveness, showing that they are not without human cost, but ultimately shows that they are worth pursuing, because it leads to greater love and grace.

Did they spread misinformation or did they only spread real information with an agenda?

I was thinking of the importance of our relationship with Jesus Christ, and how our desire should be for him daily - 24/7. The Lord then gave me this song.

There is nothing in this world so wonderful as sitting at Jesus’ feet each day and hearing him speak his words to my heart. I love to hear him talk to me, to show me his truths in his word, to lead me in his ways, and to direct me in his love. We have such sweet times of fellowship together. He doesn’t always just tell me happy stuff, either. We have a real relationship. And so we talk about everything.

He shares his heart with me and I share my heart with him. I tell him what is going on in my mind, which he already knows, and he tells me what he is thinking and feeling, too. Sometimes he lets me experience things in this life which help me to feel what he feels, so that I can have the passion and compassion he wants me to have for the tasks he assigns me to do. Oh, how I look forward to the day when I will get to see him face-to-face. That will be awesome!

Seek My Face

An Original Work / June 10, 2011

Seek My face; hear My voice
Calling you, “Make the choice.
Won’t you hear Me just now?
Turn from sin; humbly bow.
Trust in Me as your Lord,
Walk in fellowship with Me.
I will enter your heart,
Give you life eternally.

“Won’t you sit at My feet;
Hear Me teach; daily meet?
Won’t you pray; share your heart;
Let My grace now impart;
Comfort you with My love,
Give you peace from up above?
I will tenderly say,
‘You are Mine, I’m yours always.’

“One day I will return
To receive you, My bride;
Relieve you from your fears;
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
Watch for Me; be prepared
To meet Me up in the air.
I will give you a crown,
And you’ll wear a pure white gown.”

Why are we constantly giving immigrants excuses? Our country is literally being invaded by terrorists and people just wanna claim “well hundreds of years ago America was colononized”

Just stop. This isn’t okay. Illegal immigration shouldn’t be trivialized and it’s a shame that so many users on this forum trivialize it.
