The "scornful" women are watching every move you make. They will create websites dedicated to mock you and your family. You may be a larger than life African-american family. You may be a Latino family that "chooses life" and lives with grandmother and two aunts. If they know you and your children's names, they WILL find a way to mock you. If you post pictures of your children on the internet, like in the form of a blog or special website (like the Duggar-Family), they will come up with as much fault-finding as they can find.
These mocker groups or media groups, sometimes know whom they serve (because they used to be a part of a patriarchy thing or two). Maybe they were not treated right. Maybe they were not willing to forgive whom ever hurt them. Maybe they wanted to avoid the talk about what it truly means to be a Christian. I don't know what the issue is entirely, but I would be sure to avoid putting too much "information" about personal life and children on the internet, in order to avoid their "scorn" and "ridicule." Some wisdom in how to let the light shine, is to simply keep the light in local community (as the local community is whom you work with anyhow for food shelter and clothing) and not to share too much information with those way "far-away." Like the names of the children and the current activities of the children......only local people need to know that information in great detail......NOT HOLLYWOOD ENTERPRISE.
Be wise about how we inform the public of our role in this life and what types of goals we have for the children, if that is God's plans for their life and style of life they should pursue.
Some folks do not "have it all" in the USA as we would suppose. Maybe this causes some of the "mocking"......but such jealousy over knowledge of the scripture, should not create such hatred as a KJV Holy Bible is only one dollar..... Here is an article about the people still in need of "God's love" that may live locally near you.
When putting together a website that informs the "far-away" public, try to create a website that doesn't give out too much personal information about the child(ren) names and activities like this type of website:
or this type of website (which doesn't list a lot of personal information or a bragging tone for having a larger family size): http://momdelights.com/
Because the "living on a dime" website and the "momdelights" website only give out the basic "how to" information on the internet, I do not see a lot of -ridicule- or negative feedback from the "jealous no forgiveness" crowd or websites that promote such.
(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.) CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW. Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.

(Gal 4:10) Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Furthermore a person simply CANNOT call themselves Christian or a Christian CHURCH if they are in favor of "Sodom and Gomorrah" lifestyles. Hyper-grace cancels the very core of the Gospel. Jesus himself referenced Sodom and Gomorrah more than one time, and each time he referenced it in negative frame of mind, so that indicates that he is OPPOSED to such ways of going through this life. (Mat 10:15, Matt 11:23, Matt 11:24, Mar 6:11, Luk 10:12, Luk 17:29).
The bible indicates that both the men during the time of Noah were wicked and filled with violence and the SAME thing occurred in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. Tribal "culture" and tradition (like pagan beliefs) are of no-effect or justification when these "Wicked men" existed.....as all tribes had the same wicked behavior and were to face judgment under ONE creator-redeemer God.
A person can support platonic brotherly love.....but they cannot support "Sodmon and Gomorrah" sexuality, practice and lifestyle. A person can support "non-resistance" and being kind to enemies, but a person cannot support the violent behavior of allowing mocking and scorning of those whom a person doesn't abide or agree with. For example, a woman you meet is really quite kind and has been a friend with you for a while. She isn't high-maintenance or anything, just plain friendly. Then you get into conversation with her and she doesn't support Sodomite marriage and life style. As a "revenge" the far-left person who doesn't love God's laws and ways unfriends, blocks, tells other friends to mock and comes along as starts "defacing" an image that God himself created. This particular girl doesn't "hunt-down" people with sexual impurity........and she doesn't support "Sodomite lifestyle." Essentially the far-left believes in overcoming evil with evil.....rather than overcoming evil with good. Which "evil" only seems to exist in the mind of those whom believe they are faultless or sinless. A person who says, "Sodomite lifestyle is a choice" is stating a fact.....not an opinion so there is no evil in this fact. A person who says, "Infidelity lifestyle is a choice" or "Stealing lifestyle is a choice" or "Abortion lifestyle is a choice" or "Avoiding worship of God is a choice" and so forth are also stating a fact. Hence, the facts do not justify unrighteous reactions.
This is what a person who supports "sodomite lifestyle" will do to others.....image.....which God created.
Here is an example of far-left mockery (the website is filled with so much mockery, it makes sense to leave "the children" out of the complexity of internet ups and downs...in other words, don't tell the world how many children God gave you......lot the world suffer in its own misery and confusion when "the arrows" are fully redeemed.) of a perfectly TRUTH based person exposing the far-left. The writer of this particular blog even explains that she has Asperger syndrome! So they are mocking a disabled (or different thinking) person as well!
(The author of this song....has a basic belief in that it is wrong to bully(even those who have sexual impurity issues)....he maintains a secular view....When people are scorning, mocking, ridiculing etc etc.....the issue isn't in sexuality....the issue is in SIN....)
For those in sexual impurity bondage visit this website or encourage them to do so. The problem in life is an all encompassing sin issue.....and all it takes to get rid of it is a little prayer, a little bible study and a little fellowship with believers.
"Psa 50:16-23
(16) But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
(17) Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
(18) When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
(19) Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
(20) Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
(21) These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
(22) Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
(23) Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
"
To follow him means to press onward to the upward way:
I have worked at a bank, waitress, healthcare, math class with various men, marriage (husband who is NOT 100% white-skin), visited and talked with men from various religions and faiths (Christian and non-Christian, Jewish and non-Jewish), talked with the men online and off-line, talked with other women in successful vs. non-successful relationship, read various things, looked at statistics about this and that etc etc. Now at the age of 33, I believe I understand what types of men will have issues and what types of men will be OK for relationship. I don't know all that there is to know about what it means to be THE ONE, as only the bible and wisdom can declare that, but I do know the various signs about what to watch out for.
For general understanding, know that the author of this blog has a more LIBERTARIAN(I don't know if I have dark-skin ancestry??) or practical CONSERVATIVE view of the bible. It IS available to the POOR, so GOD wants people to be HAPPY and to know his ways.
Anyone can change their life around and make it right (repent as Nineveh did in book of Jonah) in the EYES of the CREATOR and REDEEMER.....even if the past was quite bad morally. However, in severe cases there may be an instance where a marriage or relationship with another person on this earth never takes place.
If a person is reading this article and already in a "sour" relationship, don't give up on it unless there is severe abuse.
A man that may have a problem in the relationship:
-Sexual impurity (womanizing) including infidelity and pornography
-Abortion practice (including use of pills or other hidden means) and support for it (except for the danger in the life of the mother).
-Clings to his own mother and other female family members. Has a sort of cult-like beliefs about family admiration. Believes ONLY his family is right about all things related to "HOLY" life.
-Feminized - non-masculine (It is OK to cook and clean or even to have a softer personality and voice, but it is NOT OK to act like the seductress, the gossiper, the angry woman etc)
-Upset about -anything- written in the first 5 books of the bible. He doesn't like "the law" of the bible or the account of Genesis. He thinks "sodomy" is now allowed in God's way of living a HOLY life...... He has fabled ideas about NERO and what he did to Christians(research on NERO in raw-book account is available by the way).
-Psalm and Proverb issues (read through Psalms and Proverbs (does he get angry, does he mock, does he scorn etc.) Use a KJV bible or original Hebrew will work fine.
-Outward appearance only matters. The sport teams matter on the T-Shirt. The women who wear or don't wear headscarves only matter in some way or another.
-Won't fast or give-up things in his life. His car could be traded for a bike etc. He could skip a few meals and save up for a mortgage.....
-major financial problems (specifically debt or gambling)
-Any sort of bondage (narcissism or other mental health issues....PTSD..., alcohol, drugs, eating disorder, screen addiction etc)
A man that may be OK in the relationship:
-Kind (and other fruits of the spirit)
-Already married (He succeeded in marriage with another woman) (polygny was practiced by Early Christians....)
-Think of others (no extremist group, racist group etc.)
-Brotherly love (less likely to womanize and be a part of extremist groups on far-left or far-right. Jesus himself had platonic brotherly-love relationships....disciples, for example)
-Not insane/ crazy (however, some men can become "ill" for no apparent reason or some outward force anytime in the marriage so be ready to pray for healing)
-Owns his own place (lives on his own without dependence upon family.....needs a home following education completion) --Why? Biologically it is hard in the "bedroom" activity without comfortable living arrangement.
-Psalm and Proverbs benefits (godly, faithful, giving to others etc)
-A Jack of many trades.
This is a secular video....but it illustrates that there is a "bad guy" and a "good guy"
This same thing can apply to Woman too! A woman should qualify as a decent and approachable person as a whole. She doesn't need to live in her own place however (as some single women are NOT simple, but have a greedy heart)
NOTE: A person with a disability does NOT mean that the relationship will not work. Meet Nick and Joni
For more information on relationship read THIS ARTICLE
Try reading: Preparing to Be His Helpmeet (though it does have a over-emphasis on "his" needs rather than the needs that GOD wants to give to BOTH as a couple...the ministry has also had negative vibes from time to time. I personally believe GOD WILL lead a man first and woman to pursue a relationship (example Isaac and Rebekah))
If three ate at a table and did not utter one word of Torah there, it is as if they had partaken of meal offerings made to the dead, for it is said, "all the tables are filled with exercrable things without room [for aught else]" But if three have eaten at a table and uttered words of Torah there, it is as if they had eaten at the table of God, for it is said, "He said to me: This is the table which is before the countenance of God" -Chapters of the fathers by Samson Raphael Hirsch
Apply to Christian life: Three eat at a table and no word of Bible is mentioned? Then it is like they are eating offerings to the dead? Three eat and they speak about bible and KNOW what it says without improper interpretations, they are sharing in the goodness of God.
This addresses anyone who is a part of the far-left OR the far-right. Either extreme is in opposition to what JESUS expects of "the people."
What does that mean when someone says that?
"Jesus is the reason for the season" Isn't he the reason for EVERY season? Wasn't he there in the beginning when the seasons were created (re-read first few chapters of Genesis).
Well, the origins of Dec. 25 existed well before the time of Jesus birth!
The word "Christmas" is not found a KJV bible. Its not found in Hebrew manuscripts. But there is declaration in Jeremiah 10 that tree worship is Idolatry and sin. When something is sin, it is lawless.
The pagans are lawless because they are not "saved" and redeemed.
When a person is "lawless" they commit acts of fornication and idolatry. Things that PAUL told the gentile Christians not to commit.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Furthermore, what do the PAGANS believe about homosexuality and other fornication practice? Here is an article that explains that they believe in opposition to GOD's LAWS: Article Essentially, there is evidence that a lot of "mistle-toe" tradition actually led to any type of messing-around under the sun.
So if a person is Christian and saying "But God knows my heart," they are essentially making an excuse to put "toxic" chemical in the stir-fry for the special dinner sent before the elder of the land who gave great wisdom on what to avoid. They want to murder the innocent without understanding the truth of the origins of various beliefs and "wickedness" in the heart. If they say they are Christian and are supporting "lawless" things then they must have ignored the part where Jesus addressed Capernea. Essentially, they have not felt conviction about how it is wrong to commit acts of "idolatry" and "fornication" so to speak.
So what can a person do if they are "convicted" about this holiday as an actual Pagan holiday?
1. Understand that in areas where there IS actual persecution of people of differing faith (like in Muslim areas) that having someone celebrate with a "Christmas tree" could prevent some sorts of issues because at least things are tolerable. In other-words persecution may be lowered.
2. Understand that if your family members, friends or other loved ones continue to celebrate Dec. 25 they may not understand the issues with that date. Jesus was not born on that day, the scripture states it. They may not approve of God's laws as a whole to begin with! So they are "fake saved" or not fully redeemed by the blood of the lamb. A truly saved person does NOT need a paid "professional" pastor or elder to lead them to the TRUTH. He or she ONLY needs the scripture with a little knowledge of how to discern right and wrong. (Obviously a church that celebrates homosexuality(embraced by pagan people) is a church that declares Jesus null and void for the life of redemption).
3.You do not have to "unfriend" a friend who celebrates that day. Just like you do not need to unfriend or block people who go through a "divorce" or other tragedy. Simply keep that day as a day like any other day. Find out when the Feast of Dedication occurred and celebrate Jesus from John 10 as he declared that he and father are ONE. Celebrate his PRESENCE continually among us as a grown man! A grown man who never broke the Sabbath but by redeeming lost-broken-hurting people of Israel.
4. Are you being a "Judizer" by encouraging people to stop celebrating Dec. 25 Christmas? No. It is not a thing of telling a person what not to eat, what to circumcise, and what days for Sabbath and so forth. Fleeing idolatry and fornication IS NOT judizing or being legalistic. The law is GOOD if one strives for it lawfully. The entire word of God is good: "Heb_6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come," "1Ti_1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;"
5. If there is a nice Christmas Hymn that is sung, it may simply be sung at a different time of year. By understanding Jesus(yeshua) was more than likely born in the FALL. The scripture declares it!
6. If you attend a church with this holiday as being the declared day of his birth, either a. only attend the church when they have bible study b. attend a church that does not put big emphasis on this day. c. start a home-church. d. visit others on that day that need food, shelter, clothing, love.....by conversation and so forth.
Revelation 2:20-29King James Version (KJV)
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The results of fleeing "idolatry" based holidays: less stress! less need to be greedy and brag! more time for actual truth from the bible! investment in people and not in things!
I have most of these books stored on my Kindle. You too may find these books for free or low cost on Amazon.com or other resource.
-Besides these books I also read posts from my Facebook feed like J-post, Voice-of-the-Martyrs, blog-sites, articles from godly men and women who encourage and so forth.
-I also read from the bible in the "parasha" style and Messianic Commentary. Like this. This includes reading 5 Psalms and 1 Proverb per day depending on the day of the month.

Talent comes with maturity. The songs go from "pop-style" and "self-focus" in the man that is under the age the 30 (perhaps unsaved)....and then about age 30....some sort of maturity sets tone and rhythm to the truth and compassion for the human condition. The man that has undergone sort of suffering....sings more melodiously. It is a mystery.
To understand "the gift" one must know what it means to embrace the one who gave us the gift ;) The almighty Redeemer!
Mat_27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Now, in the Jewish tradition the time for the sun-set is calculated. This has been done for years. In the modern-Jewish-calendar the phase moon as well as its coordination to nature is calculated to find the time for holidays. Holidays such as Passover, Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) among other things. The biblical-Menorah itself actually points to the phases of the moon in some way or another.
However, the time for calculating the "moon rise" is not a particular focus. It was a focus in the time of the Qumran Calendar. But scripture AND science points to the reality that "moon rise" time matters. Not just a little bit, but a LOT.
When the moon is a full-moon it will ALWAYS rise when the sun is setting. Any almanac will show a person this. It has done this since the beginning of time!
When the moon is a new-moon it will ALWAYS rise when the sun is rising. Any almanac will show a person this. It has done this since the beginning of time!
So in Matt 27:45 it indicated a "miraculous" sort of solar-eclipse. It more than likely occurred during a "new moon" because the sun was darkened at NOON. To point to the promise of JESUS, a person NEEDS to know "moon rise time." He or she wouldn't need to be super smart about it, just generally KNOW that the FULL moon always rises in the sun-set and the NEW moon always rises in the sun-rise!
In order to find a standard of "holiness" a person would need to know "when" certain things happened in nature! Yes, else a person would not know how to coordinate with the divine!
A person may wear all the right clothing as indicated by the New Testament description of how a person may dress, but if that person simply doesn't understand the heavens from a divine standard, then that person may only end up following the patterns of "the world" rather than following the standards established by the CREATOR of the HEAVENS!
Essentially a person SHOULD get used to understanding the "moon rise time" in order to grasp the HOLY and his ways of doing things. Try it out! Create a Qumran Calendar sort of Calendar that points to patterns in the heavens.
This is not a political post. Patriarchy exists in "left-wing" camps even when they don't notice it! Yes, when a man is promoted as either talented, handsome, skilled or sways an audience in some way or another, a sort of patriarchy is promoted! A sort of compassion for the human condition and its trials exists in the heart of a man. Essentially it would simply be labeled as -masculinity-.
Feminism exists in the "right-wing" camps when they stand up for a woman's RIGHT to choose life for a child who may not live more than two years outside of the womb. It exists when a woman has a terrible pregnancy and a terrible marriage filled with neglect and heartache that could take the life of the mother and other woman understand and seek to support that woman during that time. They do not support abortion, but they are willing to understand the situation at hand. A sort of compassion for the human condition and its trials exists in the heart of a woman. Essentially it would simply be labeled as -femininity-.
If a person is a down right "wicked" feminist, she comes along and robs the poor man of his home and dignity. She could be a stay-at-home-bible-thumping woman! Yelling at "feminists" when a woman is still crude to other men, does nothing to solve the issues in the human heart.
So how do you show a hand of support for those who are suffering in this world (in your own home and outside of your own home?). Key word -LISTEN-. Truly listen to what the TRUTH happens to be both biblical and in the physical world.
The battle isn't against men (patriarchy) and against women (woman's rights). The battle is against EVIL in the heart of man and woman! Saul was a wicked man before he changed his heart and became Paul (and it was NOT the hand of man that changed his heart!). The adulterous woman who was not careful to keep her self from sinning (she didn't want to acknowledge God's laws), only became a transformed woman in her heart when she acknowledged her Savior and found a way to do what is right! (it was NOT the hands of WOMEN that changed the heart, it was the words of JESUS).
(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.) CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW. Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.
For protection of the young and protection of the disabled DO consider resources that EDUCATION children how to stay away and REPORT any unsafe situation.

(Lev 18:6) None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
(Lev 18:7) The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
(Lev 18:8) The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
(Lev 18:9) The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
(Lev 18:11) The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
(Lev 18:10) The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
(Lev 18:12) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
(Lev 18:13) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
(Lev 18:14) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
(Lev 18:15) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
(Lev 18:16) Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.

(Lev 18:19) Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
(Lev 18:20) Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
(Lev 18:22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
(Lev 18:23) Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
(Lev 22:24) Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
(Joh 8:41) Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
(1Co 6:8) Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
(1Co 7:2) Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
(Jud 1:7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(Rev 2:21) And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
(Rev 18:3) For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
(Rev 19:2) For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
So the bible itself will indicate if you actually have the "gospel" or the false gospel. Essentially the bible itself says: "Joh_14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
When reading the bible it SHOULD be like reading many different "link backs" or your memory will recall something from some where else in the bible. Like the story of the Song-of-Solomon about the woman in distress and then a link back to Psalm 22 which would have a second link back to the verse about what types of people are not in the "kingdom." The bible is a "link back" kind of book.
For basic illustration purposes a few secular videos and things from nature can illustrate gospel. Why use secular (even if the nature of the Hollywood super star isn't entirely godly?)? Because, too much religion "spoils the broth." It can make a person feel distress, stress and anger rather than relief from the pain and sorrow from this world. The book of Esther does not even use the word "God" in the entire book, but it illustrates his power and resource.
Before understanding the gospel a person will sell themselves out on everything that is not a part of his plan and give themselves to the "abuse" agenda. Even false forms of Christianity are a part of the abuse agenda where it could be more liberal or conservative. A LOVE for the "distressed woman" needs to come in and rescue.
When the gospel is found it will feel as if a person is "Strong" in the LORD and yucky words or situations will be resisted by Titanium force. The more a person knows the "law" "prophets" and "gospel" etc. the stronger. Consider the book of "Job."
When a person knows the gospel message and how it works with the creator's story it will be like listening to the Whippoorwill. The truth will be apparent. The timing of nature will be apparent. The timing of the events in this world and the happenings of people and surroundings will be apparent. "Rev_12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
You are going through life and it feels like all your ideas and situations are just a big giant scribble. You look through the bible at random and then you dis cipher some valid solutions. "Php_3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
The world system will be like a mad-house.......of ideas and situations. The water impure. The religious value system impure. The political boundaries impure. His kingdom is the crystal clear water stream. "Joh_7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
A clock that ticks. A feeling as if we are only on this earth for a short time and then we must return back home when it is time. Instead of feeling pressure to meet up to the time of the "world system" we meet up to the time the Heavenly Father has given us. "Eph_5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
You see things from a different way to look at things. There is the spirit world that affects how to interact with the elements of nature and the elements of man. We can only claim that we know how to speak in kindness and humility. "Rev_2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
We may find our selves at a cross road in life, but we are content to "just be." To trust in his plan for us. "Psa_23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."
If you or a friend have read this book and do not consider lightly the effect of abuse, do not hesitate to get help immediately! Some abuse is easy to overcome and is simple errors in human behavior, some abuse needs godly men and women to over come, and some abuse needs professional services. If a wife is disabled (wheelchair, loss of limbs, loss of hearing or seeing, mental dependent etc etc) or simply will never be able to find a job, ensure her safety first and foremost! A terrible marriage is NOT worth loosing a loved one. Dependent Adult Abuse is not a Joke. If you have been defamed in your character because you simply couldn't "meet up" to some standard by a certain group that wanted to take advantage of your reputation, ability and skill, do not fear getting wisdom and resources to overcome the burden this places on you in your life. Defamation of character is a crime.
Here is a pretty basic article that explains that this ministry appeals to a sort of "family idolatry" or worship of "man" and not worship of the "son of man." Here is a basic article explaining the problems with the ministry.
***********
This is a continuation of the evaluation of "Created To Be His Helpmeet" book. This book is "useful" for the most part, but like described in Part 1, beware of getting led around too much by the false-accusations made by this couple. They say "Eat the meat and spit out the bones." For example, look up the various bible verses and incorporate them into your heart whether it is in KJV or in the original Hebrew scripture, but drop off the ideas about a woman causing unruly behavior in her spouse out the window. Be led by the spirit of truth in the word more than the words that are mentioned by the author of this particular book. Meditate regularly on the LAW, PROPHETS and GOSPEL to understand the kingdom which is not developed by the hands of men (or by the words from my scribbling) but by his standards of righteousness, justice and holy life.
***MOSES IS MENTIONED MORE OFTEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THAN ANY OTHER OLD TESTAMENT FIGURE***
Before I begin, let me post what my HUSBAND posted on his Facebook page. HOLY living is SO important:
15. To Be Sober
**This is probably one of the good chapters. No one wants to go to a restaurant that looks like the people never washed the dishes, never tidy up the tables and never take care of their appearance. Make the home to be BETTER than a restaurant. This is the place of peace for the husband AND for the wife. Don't assume the home belongs to only one body. No everyone in the home has a spirit.
**No woman can be a "Martha Stewart" every day of her life. Mary sat at the feet of Jesus. Woman need to sit at the feet of Jesus first to make life bearable! Desire ultimate holiness from the word! Use guides and things that encourage the reader to know the design of the tabernacle, the order and events of the stories in the bible and so much more. Try prayer and fasting. (Nervous breakdowns occur because a woman doesn't get her spirit fed!@!)
16. To Love Their Husbands
**Yes, love covers a multitude of sins. In men and in women. Some women WILL be out on the prowl looking to find faults with a woman's husband. She may come up with some corny #metoo hashtag and find a way to make a profit off of that man.... Historically, some men were forced into various forms of slavery and controlled by women because of vicious fornication practices.
**I don't know if a woman is wrong for loving another man in a godly way. The bible itself says that Jesus loved Mary and Martha. Were they married to their husband? I don't know those details. I don't see why it is wrong to have brotherly love. If a woman has brotherly love for (her own cousins, a man suffering, a persecuted man, a man of a different nationality who need justice and so forth). If a woman has godly love for her husband, then she would know what "brotherly love" means. Debi never used the idea of brotherly love in her book, hence the loaded details that "womanizing" was ok behavior in husband. Brotherly love keeps the innocent men out of concentration camps. Unconditional love is a HOLY and righteous thing which applies to all men not just that man with name on the "wedding certificate" paper.
**It is true that a woman and man can do this and that, but it takes "self-control" and serious fasting and prayer to understand that there were events in human life where men were out on the prowl, married to "one wife" yes, but sleeping with the slave women too to have children with them. So something was missing in the life of that man. A sense of the power of HOLY and righteous living lacking in the slave owner.
**Check God's laws to make sure that husband isn't a "womanizer." Please don't assume that lust is always OK, no matter what. It trails out into the "Wilderness" and other women and young girls can become his victim, even with his manipulative nonsense words. The false accuser can be a woman's husband. He may not be a sex-trafficker, but he may have something unholy in his response to victims in distress.
**Some men are not saved. That is obvious. The only thing to do is prayer, truthful discussions and in severe response consult an authority if he is misusing his sex-drive. Note: some women can misuse her sex-drive too. Don't assume that the "wife" is sanctified by pleasing a husband.....no she is sanctified by THE WORD.
17. To Love Their Children
**Yes, the rod of correction can be used effectively. I would say about under the age of 3 is all that is truly needed in a good family. The unruly children need the WORD in their heart. Pour knowledge of what "humility" means, stories of the bible (enter the promised land) and other highly effective elements to change the child's heart to do what is right. Parent Effectiveness Training is a good book, even though it is filled with modern psychology and experience dealing with troubled youth. Experience speaks to the heart of the matter.
**Children will desire knowledge if it is fed to them. If a person avoids the knowledge of "indigenous languages" because they are heathen, then that is not the indigenous people's fault. The Hebrew's were indigenous people too.....and followed a special calendar.......You still don't know when the ABIB happens to be and how the moon-rise time was calculated? Time to restore the tabernacle of knowledge....start with an almanac.
18. To Be Discreet
**Yes, be considerate. Be considerate of the condition of humanity and its flaws.
**Yes, don't complain when a husband would love to buy a wife a "nice thing" even though the finances are in trouble. What if the husband really truly can't afford something because it was illegal for him to get that "thing"? A happy wife would see the value in the PVC pipe I suppose ;)
**Try to encourage people to overcome their "gossip" power. Hmm. That requires diligent bible meditation. I guess. Don't assume Dinah was purposefully "looking" for herself to get raped. Don't assume Tamar knew she was going to be a victim.
**Some women want to find their "escape" too. Too much religion from the in-laws? Take me to the next rock concert please? (she likes how the love songs sound like the song-of-Solomon) I would like to go to the ski-slopes instead of bible-study with mother-in-law. (she can reflect on bible studies there better)
19. Chaste
**Yes, modesty is important. Outward appearance doesn't guarantee any ticket to heaven. Modli.co has some nice styles. Try sewing if the dresses are too expensive.
**No amount of modesty can prevent a lust-filled man from having lusty thoughts. Do I need to review what happened to wicked men in the middle east? Maybe a person needs to review how the history of America had many modest women but still had rape issues. Did you know that in puritan america there was a lot of out-of-wedlock pregnancy before the marriage even began. Don't assume something is true unless there is 100% proof.
20. Keepers at Home
**Good idea. There are ways to learn how to cook, sew and clean better in the home.
**I suppose it would depend on the "reason" for e-mail, chat-rooms and the like. Some women are trying to share the gospel......to people in nations that have no or little bible access..... If it is tempting to a woman, then leave the "cable connection" in the shed instead of the home where people dwell. Go camping for a while. But the husband is the "head" of the household and if he wants the internet in the home, then it is there to remain.
21. Good
**Yes, she would be merciful, not only with her words online, but her actions online too. (The Pearls are kind of so-so in the communication department)
**Yes, she would be knowledgeable to the people who are in need in her area. The more she knows about how to serve others in a diligent way, the better she will serve humanity rather than just her self. That includes knowledge of what happens to women who are abused in their marriage.
**To know what goodness looks like, would require a knowledge of the king of kinds (kings). He fulfilled the law and LOVED God's law (Psalm 119). Without that "knowledge" she may just be serving the goodness of the government and its provisions.
22. Obedient to their own husbands
**Yes, pay attention to the words of the husband. Don't assume that it is ok to chase after a new man who is already married and has a life of his own. What if that new man has better qualities than the husband? Go back home and pay attention and obey the husband. He doesn't want to deal with certain things. Wife, you won't want to hear from him about those types of things as it may end up creating a vicious cycle that leads to crime.
**Consider prayer if that husband is wanting wife to do something that is "ungodly." If he doesn't listen to God's word on the matter, then the wife is not responsible for his lack of trust. What if the husband wants to be like Abe and send Sarah to a different man's house? Keep prayer going because STD's can spread easily. I know a relative who almost died from those things before the age of 30!
**Remarriage. It will depend. If the wife departs from the man, then he is free to remarry. In fact the bible doesn't say anything is wrong with polygyny. If the man departs from the wife, then she is free to remarry in the LORD (hence it is better to remain single if the marriage didn't work, otherwise it is adultery). Placing all the "blame" on women for the infidelity of men is senseless (re-read Psalm 51). Placing all the abuse a woman endured on the fault of the woman is senseless. What if that man wanted to be a terrorist? Ephesians 5 explains enough about conditions that are SAFE for a woman in a husband's nurture. Trying to explain his bad behavior because a wife didn't do something right in Ephesians 5, defeats the purpose of explaining the entire purpose of the scripture!~! Enough is enough.
**Birthcontrol. Well, if that means that men treat women like sodomites because they are not supposed to have so many children, then that is what happens....But how is a wife supposed to obey a man who does not want to live a holy life? A wife wants to live the holy life but the husband is fearful, please don't blame the woman for that problem! A holy life starts with obedience in man.
**Headcovering. Seems that people are all upset over the style of hair a woman has. When she looses all of her hair in cancer, then is she still to blame for "disobedience"? When she starts to get wrinkles then is she being disobedient? Only the Lord is good and knows wisdom. His wisdom alone fed the Israelites in the wilderness. There wasn't a concern about "headscarves" in the hot dessert. It just was the style of "that time" supposedly. Well, maybe not. Even headscarves are found in man's imagination.....historically.
23. To obey or not to obey
**If your husband tells you to go and steal the pass code for the bank and to embezzle money from his or wife's current workplace, then well, a wife NEEDS to know God's laws in order to understand this principle of right vs. wrong. A GODLY wife will not give into a wicked man. EVER! Even if he is lacking punctuality in giving attention to that "minority" family and their basic need for food shelter and clothing!
**A wicked wife agrees with her husband's lack of sense in judging the outward appearances of other women. This is called "womanizing." It is a crime against God's word. Debi didn't seem to "get that" part right, so the frugal simple suffering man was a victim to their senseless judgments. Go back and study the Holocaust. Jewish women were treated like "prostitutes" and then thrown into the gas chamber!
**The wicked wife agrees with a husband who used violence against other woman in a marriage. She wanted to see that "old self-righteous man" become violent with the wife and then later that "wicked man" ended up in the nursing home. He ends up breaking windows. He ends up breaking the health-care worker's arms. He ends up doing xyz to other residents! The wife who doesn't KNOW God's laws, gives into favoring the VIOLENT MAN!!!! BEWARE!
Following up on things and in summary, don't be a slave to one's own EGO. Such inflation is self-gratification which is a sort of slavery and apart from Holy living. Even some secular men are better at deflating their own EGO in order to bring about more right living. Just being an EGO maniac in Christian living is and instruction leads to deceptive living. A narcissism problem if you will.
As a way to expand upon the discussion of the "To Train Up a Child" book, which the far-left does not like this particular book written by this author because some families used the book in a bad way and lost the life of their children. I will discuss these points, that may not have been mentioned by this author who did have some encounters with the "Anabaptist community" to come up with their conclusions on how to properly raise a child in this wicked world.
**Positive point: They encourage children to stop being sassy. I tried to eliminate the sass in my youngest child and I have a godly saint of a child. He loves to join me for cooking and cleaning.
**Negative point: Children need to be spanked and only spanked from age 3 years old on up. Well, it seems that they jump on the "rod" as the best solution a whole lot and never really seek to allow the child to "devour" the HOLY BIBLE and what it means to live a more godly life.
**Positive point: They discourage the use of the TV and lots of screen activity due to negative influences. Yes this is good. It is wonderful if a family owns some land or is near a park for the children to run around and enjoy the gifts of God's creation.
**Negative point: They don't really want to JOYFULLY instruct out of the psalms and proverbs on a regular basis. The messianic way of understanding the scripture is to ENJOY meditation on the Psalms and proverbs regularly. If they used more of the "verses" from the psalms and proverbs, with a handy little question and answer session (like counselor style), there would be less need to use a rod in the first place! No more silly "tests" and "tricks" to get the children to do what the parents want. Instead, the child knows what GOD wants the child to do! YAY! Lighter burden and less need for a resource like No Greater Joy for every little detail of the child's life.
**Positive point: They want the children to be safe. The car is going to explode. Lets practice safety.
**Negative point: They are afraid that if the child is around someone who is unsafe (a sodomite who worked at the coffee shop and never touched the child), then the child is infected with bad morals for life! Hmmmmm. Now how did that doctor get his license to practice medicine again? Didn't the Pearl's rely on the health-care professional from time to time? A lot of healthcare workers need to help these people who ended up making the ungodly choices in their sexuality. Keeping away from "them" will not really keep the child from making bad choices and more right decisions. Show the children what Jesus said to Capernea about how it was worse than Sodom and Gomorah and go from there. So Jesus himself was in that "wicked" area and place. (Note: please DO pray for the medical professional as some men and women who work in the healthcare are not saved......and healthcare industry is a "religion" of some sort with this and that lingo)
**Negative Point: They seem to make it look like the Amish and other Anabaptist communities ONLY rely on the "rod" to make their children good. They only rely on constant training to help their children to listen to the parent's words......ummmmm NO WAY JOSE! The Anabaptist community historically rely on the conviction of the Holy Spirit! They want to embrace the sinner with the gift of God's word to help the sinner overcome his wicked heart! Many LOVE the fruits of the spirit! Many love brotherly (the demeanor and appearance of humility is like these Orthodox) and sisterly love as a wonderful gift from our HEAVENLY FATHER! Yes, some in the Anabaptist community do end up with mental illness and things of that nature, so they are not free from "all sin" just because they trained their children to do this and that.
**Negative Point: They don't seem to know that it is OK to expose the children to different religions. Yes, exposure helps the children sort-out good vs. evil. Unless that religion encourages terror or absolutely gross fornication practices, then there is nothing wrong with going to the "Chinese Restaurant" or the "Pow-wow." Attend a synagogue. The gospel goes to ALL the world and ALL the world needs to feel respect through HIS love and redemption.
**********
The bible itself says that the HOLY city is a bride! So the BRIDE KNOWS the word! Inside and out!
Rev_21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
