What, again?

Oh and thoughts and prayers.

They did it first!! Therefore pointing out the error is moot!!! How is running with something you supposedly know is wrong a good decision?

You objected to the "gestating" and "non-gestating" language on the documents and said that "mama" and "dada" are the first words everyone says. You are correct that you did not specifically say that the first words everyone says should be used instead of the more clinical and inclusive language that you mocked.

I did not mock you - I mocked the idea.

I have not attacked you but the idea that "mama" and "dada" should be used instead of "gestating" and "non-gestating" - and I stand by this. Also that if one doesn't understand what pronouns are maybe shouldn't pontificate on the importance of them.

If "snarky jabs" on ideas are too upsetting, then use the ignore function. Or - here's an idea! - treat others how you wish to be treated. Post with respect and good faith and that will more likely be returned to you.

Sorry, bud, attacking then crying victim describes your routine; there have been several posts about you doing this from which you seem to be cribbing.

Is it possible to stick to the contents of the post and stop making personal remarks about me? TIA.

Amen but Please focus. We were speaking on Heb 8:13. That is where we are at in our conversation. You said it said something it does not. You said it said the Old was obsolete. I showed you it can't be because the text says it is growing obsoleted.

I understand what you’re getting at now-and the difference between our positions is only nuanced, I believe, at most. The ancient churches, as well as the mainstream Protestant churches later, continued to uphold the importance of the ten commandments- and the following teachings I’m familiar with should be consistent with those of all the ancient churches from the beginning.
*The terms “Old Law” and “New Law” are directly related to “Old Covenant” and “New Covenant”. Historically they've been used to describe the guiding principles behind each covenant.

121 The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value, for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.

1962 The Old Law is the first stage of revealed Law. Its moral prescriptions are summed up in the Ten Commandments. The precepts of the Decalogue lay the foundations for the vocation of man fashioned in the image of God; they prohibit what is contrary to the love of God and neighbor and prescribe what is essential to it. The Decalogue is a light offered to the conscience of every man to make God's call and ways known to him and to protect him against evil:

"God wrote on the tables of the Law what men did not read in their hearts." Augustine

1963 According to Christian tradition, the Law is holy, spiritual, and good,14 yet still imperfect. Like a tutor15 it shows what must be done, but does not of itself give the strength, the grace of the Spirit, to fulfill it. Because of sin, which it cannot remove, it remains a law of bondage. According to St. Paul, its special function is to denounce and disclose sin, which constitutes a "law of concupiscence" in the human heart.16 However, the Law remains the first stage on the way to the kingdom. It prepares and disposes the chosen people and each Christian for conversion and faith in the Savior God. It provides a teaching which endures for ever, like the Word of God.

1964 The Old Law is a preparation for the Gospel. "The Law is a pedagogy and a prophecy of things to come."17 It prophesies and presages the work of liberation from sin which will be fulfilled in Christ: it provides the New Testament with images, "types," and symbols for expressing the life according to the Spirit. Finally, the Law is completed by the teaching of the sapiential books and the prophets which set its course toward the New Covenant and the Kingdom of heaven.

There were . . . under the regimen of the Old Covenant, people who possessed the charity and grace of the Holy Spirit and longed above all for the spiritual and eternal promises by which they were associated with the New Law. Conversely, there exist carnal men under the New Covenant still distanced from the perfection of the New Law: the fear of punishment and certain temporal promises have been necessary, even under the New Covenant, to incite them to virtuous works. In any case, even though the Old Law prescribed charity [love], it did not give the Holy Spirit, through whom "God's charity has been poured into our hearts."18

1984 The Law of the Gospel fulfills and surpasses the Old Law and brings it to perfection: its promises, through the Beatitudes of the Kingdom of heaven; its commandments, by reforming the heart, the root of human acts.

1985 The New Law is a law of love, a law of grace, a law of freedom.

Sansue Bee Vang, 58, was found guilty of eight counts of child molestation and three counts of rape following a seven-day trial in February. As part of his sentence, Vang is also required to register as a sex offender, the Butte County district attorney’s office said in a news release.

At the sentencing, Judge Philip Heithecker heard testimony and statements from five of the six named victims that Vang was convicted of abusing.

Vang is the founder, creator and leader of a Hmong religious organization called Kev Ntseeg Leej Niam Kee Tiam Vaj Lis Thum, which can loosely be translated to “belief in the mother.” The organization was originally founded in Appleton, Wis., where it gained a following, and was moved to Fresno in 2015. In 2020, Vang selected families from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Carolina and Fresno to relocate to Oroville to build a temple at the base of Table Mountain, according to the release.

All of the victims in the case were members of the religious organization. Vang was referred to as the leader or “prophet” of the organization and created the readings, songs and the requirements for the movement, authorities said.

On March 15, 2019, Ksor Ruk, was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the People’s Court of Gia Lai Province. Ksor was accused of being allegedly involved with FULRO, an exiled group in America, and charged with ‘undermining the state’s unity policy’, Article 116 of the 2015 Criminal Code.

Ksor Ruk, a Montagnard (Jrai) Christian, was first imprisoned in 2007, charged with ‘undermining the state’s unity policy’. However, after being released, he continued his missionary work in his local area. He is married with five children. His youngest child was just one month old when he was arrested in October 2018.

Charged with undermining unity policy.

On April 10, 2018, Montagnard Church of Christ leader Y Pum Bya was arrested during a police raid at a church member’s home during an unregistered church meeting. He was accused of spreading false information about Vietnam’s violations of minority rights, and religious freedom, in order to convince people to join efforts to establish an independent state.

At the police station, he was interrogated, tortured, and forced to sign a statement agreeing to stop worshipping in a group while belonging to the Gospel Missionary Church.

Y Pum Bya had previously been threatened with arrest for his religious activities. On March 15, 2017, he requested permission to register unregistered religious activities in Ea Dron Commune, but his request was rejected and police threatened him with arrest and imprisonment if he continued to engage in his religious activities.

On January 31, 2019, Y Pum Bya was sentenced to 14 years in prison and four years probation, for ‘undermining national unity policy’ under Article 87/1999. He is currently imprisoned at Gia Trung Prison in Gia Lai Province.

Opinions may differ regarding political and military strategy in the Middle East, but accusing an entire army of systematic crimes does not lead to an objective discussion.

My prayer expresses a clear intention. It is for the protection of soldiers, the defeat of Hamas’s terror, and the establishment of justice, not for the suffering of civilians. The Bible teaches us to pray for victory over evil and for the protection of those who fight against terror
(2 Sam 22:28).

The concerns you mentioned regarding injustice and violence are already included in the prayer. The prophetic context in Isaiah clearly shows that G-d is a G-d of vengeance in the dispute over Zion, and His judgment strikes the powers that seek to destroy Israel
(Isa 34:5 .8). At the same time, however, He is a holy G-d before whose face no human wrongdoing goes unpunished. By praying that His will be done, we entrust the final judgment to Him: He will break evil powers such as Hamas, but He sees, hears, and judges every injustice on this earth with absolute infallibility in stark contrast to us humans, who often perceive things only selectively.

Praying for His will therefore automatically entails the exposure and end of all injustice. It never involves taking pleasure in the suffering of the innocent, for every human being is created in His image. I therefore pray specifically that Muslims in Gaza may find peace and salvation through Jesus Christ, as I wrote in my post.

What does persecution look like in Burkina Faso?​

Burkina Faso has experienced a broad collapse in state authority. This insecurity has led to Islamic extremists being able to dominate areas of the country and freely commit violence. These groups are able to rule as a form of quasi-government with little opposition. Extremist religious leaders encourage communities to be hostile towards Christians.

Due to this, churches have been forced to close and have been burned, and Christian homes and businesses have been destroyed and looted. Christian communities can face threats, violent attacks and displacement from their homes. Anyone who leaves Islam to follow Jesus is especially vulnerable to threats and violence.

Who is most vulnerable to persecution?​

Burkinabe Christians in rural areas controlled by Islamic extremists are most vulnerable to targeted attacks, harassment and discrimination. They are also often expected to follow strict religious rules. Those who deviate from these rules, especially converts from a Muslim background, risk the most serious persecution from their families and communities.

What has changed this year?​

Burkina Faso has risen four places on this year’s World Watch List. Violence has increased, as well as pressure on church life. Christians in Burkina Faso face ongoing threats, instability and displacement. On top of persecution, believers face deepening poverty and a worsening human rights’ crisis. Burkina Faso is one of the least developed nations in the world. Its problems are heightened by geopolitical rivalries playing out in the region, along with the rise of extremist groups, organised crime and corruption.

In areas under their control, extremists increasingly exploit the poverty and anti-Western sentiment among local clans to exert pressure on Christians. They attempt to indoctrinate young people, enforce strict religious codes and justify violence against Christians as being divinely mandated.

This year, brutal attacks by extremists on Christian communities have claimed more lives, destroyed churches and homes, and displaced an estimated two million people. Converts from Islam face significant pressure to return to the faith. They can be ejected from their communities or face violence.

What does Open Doors do to help Christians in Burkina Faso?​

Open Doors serves the church in Burkina Faso through persecution-awareness training, relief efforts, spiritual care and trauma care. Behind these is the vision to see the church respond biblically to persecution by spiritually empowering her members and caring for those most affected.

How can you pray for Burkina Faso?​

• Pray for stability and that the people of Burkina Faso would be cared for by the authorities. Since the 2022 military coup, Burkina Faso has been led by a military government. Promises to return to civilian rule have so far not come to pass.
• Pray these extremists would encounter the truth of Jesus and put aside their violent aims. Islamic militants continue to carry out periodic attacks.
• Ask God to help Christians who have been displaced or have lost loved ones in the violence. Pray they would be comforted and experience the true peace of Christ.
• Pray for Open Doors partners as they care for displaced believers. Pray that God would bless these efforts and ignite a gospel fire that spreads across Burkina Faso.

President Trump announced late Friday that U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) launched a strike that killed the leader of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

A “swift and lethal kinetic strike” killed Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as Niño Guerrero, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. Tren de Aragua is a U.S.-designated terror organization.

“This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well,” Trump’s post reads. “As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher and Eurasia Group and GZERO Media Founder Ian Bremmer stated that OPEC’s cartel has effectively been ended, which is beneficial, and that the region building pipelines will help undercut Iran’s power.

Bremmer said, “OPEC is over. The Emiratis have pulled out. And that means that they want to produce as much oil as humanly possible because they don’t want that to be a stranded asset. They know it’s not going to be worth so much over time. They want to become a global node as a city-state. That’s — by the way, that’s a monopoly, it’s a cartel over energy, over fossil fuel energy that is not good for anybody. Glad to see them go. The Americans are the largest producer in the world right now. … That’s a big thing that has happened, not because Trump was planning it, but it matters.”

Maher responded, “Yeah, well, also, they’re building pipelines now.” Which Bremmer agreed with.

It would be an interesting turn of events if all the stuff being released actually resulted in anything. Beyond the usual there's unidentified things flying around defying physics.

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama handed President Donald Trump a significant legal victory on Friday, rejecting a last-minute effort to block a highly anticipated UFC event scheduled to take place on the White House South Lawn this weekend.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta denied an emergency request from two Virginia residents who sought a temporary restraining order to stop UFC Freedom 250, a major mixed martial arts event tied to celebrations surrounding America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. The plaintiffs argued that the event violated federal regulations and would damage the character of historic public spaces, including the White House grounds and the Lincoln Memorial.

Judge Mehta, however, concluded that neither plaintiff had demonstrated the legal standing necessary to pursue the case in federal court. In his ruling, Mehta found that the individuals failed to show they would suffer a concrete and particularized injury as a result of the event.

“The threatened injury must be certainly impending to constitute injury in fact,” Mehta wrote while explaining why the plaintiffs’ concerns did not meet the threshold required by law.

A U.S. Apache helicopter crashed Monday near the Strait of Hormuz, adding new strain to the violent, unsteady ceasefire. The crash prompted a first-of-its-kind rescue, as the two-man crew was taken from the water off the coast of Oman by an unmanned, AI-powered drone boat.

However, this innovation in maritime rescue operations was soon overshadowed by the U.S. military’s assessment that the helicopter was shot down by an Iranian drone — Iran’s most direct attack in weeks against the U.S. military.

According to details revealed by President Trump himself, there seems to be no doubt that Iran was responsible for downing the helicopter. Trump said that the Iranian drone “lodged between the two pilots” and caught fire, but that it did not explode. Trump described the survival of the two pilots as a “miracle.” In other words, Iran not only shot at an American helicopter, but it tried to kill American soldiers, whose lives were only saved by Iran’s faulty tech.

Days earlier — June 3, to be precise — The Wall Street Journal reported that “President Trump has told aides privately that he would consider ending the ceasefire with Iran if Tehran kills American troops.”

The attempt to kill American troops that followed days later could be a coincidence, but there is another interpretation: someone in Iran does not want the ceasefire to hold.

Hello everyone, I am from Pakistan and I am working on a small community support initiative.
We are currently focusing on helping children with basic education support and food assistance for poor families in our area.
I am doing this work at a very small level, step by step, and I will keep sharing updates here.
Please keep us in your prayers.

June is one of the most beautiful months in the Catholic year. Having journeyed through the splendor of Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday, the Church now turns our attention to mysteries that are at once profound and deeply personal. Corpus Christi and the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart invite us to contemplate not merely the works of Christ, but Christ Himself. The Church places before us the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart as living reminders that Christianity is not simply a philosophy to be understood or a moral code to be obeyed. It is an encounter with the living God who desires communion with His people.

1 Corinthians 11:23-29 NKJV


Taking Communion

What this is talking about here is what is commonly referred to as “taking communion.” Different gatherings of what are called “churches” do this in different ways. And for some gatherings, and for some people, this is just another religious exercise that they go through routinely, and not all of them are following the same exact schedule or the same exact routines and traditions. But what often gets lost is the real reason for this, and what purpose it serves in the lives of those who profess faith in Jesus Christ.

For this isn’t just about remembering that Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on a cross to die for our sins, and that he was resurrected from the dead so that we could live through him and have eternal life in him. This is about us, by faith in Jesus Christ, participating with Christ in his death and in his resurrection by us dying with him to sin and us being raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness, in walks of obedience to God’s commands.

And the purpose is not just to proclaim the Lord’s death, but also his resurrection, and the purpose for them both. We are to be those who are sharing with the people that Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross to put our sins to death with him in order to free us from the control of sin over lives. And he was resurrected from the dead that we might now live through him in walks of surrender to him in obedience to his commands in holy living, by God’s grace, in the power of God, and for the glory of God.

Examine Yourselves

Now, as far as I can remember, I have most always taken this seriously. When I participated in taking communion, I took that time to examine my own heart and life before God, to pray to the Lord to show me any areas of my life which needed to be changed, and I repented of any known sins, if I knew of any. I took that time to pray and to meditate on what this means, not just on what it meant for Jesus to give his life up for us to free us from our sins, but what that change in my life should look like in daily practice.

And I believe that is really the purpose of it all, to get us to examine our own hearts, to think on what Jesus did for us and what that means for us and what change that should bring about in our lives because of what he did, and because he brought us to faith in him. This is a time for prayer and self-examination and reflection on Jesus’ sacrifice for us on that cross in order to deliver us out of addiction to sin so we would now serve him with our lives in doing whatever he has for us to do, as his followers.

But eating the bread and drinking the cup in an “unworthy manner” is not just about taking communion when you know you are holding on to sin in your life. This is about any acts we do where we might go through religious exercises, and where we might give the impression that we are true followers of Christ, but where we might be holding on to sin and not living for the Lord. Those who do this are regarded by God as guilty of the body and blood of Christ who eat and drink judgment upon themselves.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Live For Jesus

So, live for the Lord. Do all that he says for you to do. Deny self. Die to sin. And walk (in conduct) with God in obedience to his commands, and let righteousness and godly living be what you now practice. And be real! Do not fake it! Don’t just go through the rituals. Be who God created you to be. Follow Jesus wherever he leads you. And be one who shares the good news of the gospel of Christ with the people of this world, and with the worldly church, too. For many profess him, but the minority truly follow HIM.
