Is it better to read more conservative leaning blogs than liberal leaning blogs

For biblical advice and perspective in life.

Of course READ READ READ the bible first and foremost.  I suggest the KJV if you are reading in English

From experience I would rely on biblical advice from blogs and articles in this order..... (this includes off line publications)........As a result, your life will feel more fulfilling and successful.  Yes, some conservative blogs can seem like they "don't understand your situation" or "I need to shun you"...... which can be a bummer, but that doesn't mean that the information is bad, its just that your condition doesn't match their condition.

1. Persecution of Christians (and Jewish too) types of articles and magazines (Voice of the Martyrs, One for Israel, Iraq Christian Relief, IFCJ etc etc.)

2. Historical and Practical Magazines and articles (Charity Christian ministries (http://charitychristianfellowship.org/sermons), truthforfree.com, any historical Christian writers including Ellen G. White, Spurgeon, Augustine etc)

3. Messianic teachings that teach biblical themes from Jewish understanding.  Very good at connecting the "dots" between old and new testament.  Yah-tube for example will offer further information.

4. Common personal blogs and websites.  Nogreaterjoy.org (this resource has some internet bully UNHOLY solutions and issues so beware of that), duggarfamilyblog, Wissmann blog, The Transformed Wife by Lori Alexander (this resource has some internet bully UNHOLY solutions and issues so beware of that), aboverubies.org, Vodi Bachumn and so forth.

5. Practical Life Style blogs that reflect good home and character....  "the wise woman builds her home" etc etc.

6. General Wisdom and Down To Earth Lifestyle blogs....(Faith and Religious belief may not be similar to that within your own home) (Gardening blogs, Crafting blogs, frugal living blogs, Heritage and understanding of culture blogs, healthy living blogs etc)..... example birthjunkie.org and unassistedchildbirth.org


*********************
In the middle of the road are general reading materials.  Anything like the common local newspaper to the "fake news" agendas by big media.  Don't get caught in textbooks that have been twisted to promote agendas by the public or local schools.  Read them for the basic information and double check to see truth and accuracy.
*****************


Read more liberal leaning materials for "knowledge" or "different point of view" types of things, but do not spend hours and hours commenting on their things if you are trying to convince them of biblical wisdom.  Time will get wasted.  Many times such blogs are filled with words just to prove one person is better than another person.  Occasionally something useful for the "poor and oppressed" man is there, but mainly the blogs are there to keep people away from the word.

1. Spiritual abuse websites and blogs.  Commonly find fault with anything that appears "patriarchy" or "no divorce" types of things.  Often quick to find a way to get a lawyer to solve humanity problems, never consult the bible for solutions.  FlakyFalseCHristianAbuse

2. Fake news nonsense.  Articles filled with mockery at the president and ways to tease your neighbor.

3. Websites that promote lavish and wasteful living and lifestyles.  Me-first mentality.

4. Websites that attack and personally find fault with biblical teachings.  Particularly with the covering up of Christian Martyrs of the past.  Some may cover up their abuse towards tribes of the earth.  Some may be of a religious nature (ie. some Catholicism blogs, some baptists that don't admit native american genocide etc.)

5. Websites that have never taken the time to "visit the orphan" "visit the widow" or anything that is good for humanity.

6. Rich and Famous blogs and websites.  Keeping up with the wealthy will leave one missing out on the valuable things of this life.

7. Websites that demean woman's natural ability to nurture and care for children or give birth in her own home and in her own ability to make decisions.  (ie. skepticalob, planned parenthood)....

Anti-Israel is the same as anti-Semetism.

What I mean is that the ancestral roots of a man has the heart of a man.  Overall anti-zionism has more emphasis of anti-semetism overall because the people opposed to the Jewish people existing in Israel lands are anti-semetic.

When various -immigrants- moved to Germany a couple years ago and they had NO respect.  There were groups of "gang rapists" who needed to be taught how to respect woman.  Do not touch a woman, who does not consent.  Some youth of German ancestry were raped and some were murdered by these groups.  Who really didn't NEED to move to Germany but they had nothing else to do but go from one location to another and bring terrorism with them.  It isn't necessary to describe their religious values and where these ideas came from.  Jesus already described it.  It came from FALSE PROPHETS.

Today, Jewish people live in Israel and they live in Germany.  A terrorist is a terrorist whether that person commits a crime in any country or among any nation or tribe.

If a person is not concerned about crimes that happen in Israel, terrorist acts, they also would not be concerned about crimes against Jewish people (or any other person), in other countries.

Furthermore, some Jewish people did live in Africa and have actual dark skin tones.  So "black lives matter" should ring a bell for some people who claim Christian beliefs, but being on the far-right seems to be a reflection of fear among those who fear terrorism and the method of response to it.

Same goes for Native American ancestry and conditions.  One cannot say they love Native American people unless they respect the culture and burial ground of Ancestry.......

So the point is this.  If one LOVES a certain minority group of people, but does not respect the people and their ancestor's homeland, then that man or woman is a liar.  If one truly LOVES a group of people and their ancestor's homeland, they must love the ancestry and sometimes traditions of those people.  Respect says a lot about the condition of the heart of a man or woman.

Jesus loved Jewish and Gentile unto death and is the perfect example who never had hatred for Israel OR for the Jewish people or any Semetic people for that matter.  He showed perfect unconditional love for people and ancestry. (he mentioned things about abraham in his decendants)

(Speaks about Israel having respect towards God in all ways even as they move from place to place, because God will also bring them back to Israel)  Jeremiah 29:4-10 -- 4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.

10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

If you don't know the whole gospel or care about Religion truths.....

YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS TRUTH!

Biblical Law and NT explanation - Terumah, Tithe, Taxes

(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.

T'rumah, Tithes and Taxes

402. That an uncircumcised person shall not eat of the t'rumah (heave offering), and the same applies to other holy things. This rule is inferred from the law of the Paschal offering, by similarity of phrase (Ex. 12:44-45 and Lev. 22:10) but it is not explicitly set forth in the Torah. Traditionally, it has been learnt that the rule that the uncircumcised must not eat holy things is an essential principle of the Torah and not an enactment of the Scribes (negative). See Brit Milah: Circumcision
403. Not to alter the order of separating the t'rumah and the tithes; the separation be in the order first-fruits at the beginning, then the t'rumah, then the first tithe, and last the second tithe (Ex. 22:28) (negative) (CCI19).
404. To give half a shekel every year (to the Sanctuary for provision of the public sacrifices) (Ex. 30:13) (affirmative).
405. That a kohein who is unclean shall not eat of the t'rumah (Lev. 22:3-4) (negative). See Kohein.
406. That a person who is not a kohein or the wife or unmarried daughter of a kohein shall not eat of the t'rumah (Lev. 22:10) (negative). See Kohein.
407. That a sojourner with a kohein or his hired servant shall not eat of the t'rumah (Lev. 22:10) (negative). See Kohein.
408. Not to eat tevel (something from which the t'rumah and tithe have not yet been separated) (Lev. 22:15) (negative) (CCI18).
409. To set apart the tithe of the produce (one tenth of the produce after taking out t'rumah) for the Levites (Lev. 27:30; Num. 18:24) (affirmative) (CCI12). See Levi.
410. To tithe cattle (Lev. 27:32) (affirmative).
411. Not to sell the tithe of the herd (Lev. 27:32-33) (negative).
412. That the Levites shall set apart a tenth of the tithes, which they had received from the Israelites, and give it to the kohanim (called the t'rumah of the tithe) (Num. 18:26) (affirmative) (CCI13). See Kohein, Levi.
413. Not to eat the second tithe of cereals outside Jerusalem (Deut. 12:17) (negative).
414. Not to consume the second tithe of the vintage outside of Jerusalem (Deut. 12:17) (negative).
415. Not to consume the second tithe of the oil outside of Jerusalem (Deut. 12:17) (negative).
416. Not to forsake the Levites (Deut. 12:19); but their gifts (dues) should be given to them, so that they might rejoice therewith on each and every festival (negative). See Levi.
417. To set apart the second tithe in the first, second, fourth and fifth years of the sabbatical cycle to be eaten by its owner in Jerusalem (Deut. 14:22) (affirmative) (CCI14) (today, it is set aside but not eaten in Jerusalem).
418. To set apart the second tithe in the third and sixth year of the sabbatical cycle for the poor (Deut. 14:28-29) (affirmative) (CCI15) (today, it must be separated out but need not be given to the poor).
419. To give the kohein the due portions of the carcass of cattle (Deut. 18:3) (according to the Talmud, this is not mandatory in the present outside of Israel, but it is permissible, and some observant people do so) (CCA51). See Kohein.
420. To give the first of the fleece to the kohein (Deut. 18:4) (according to the Talmud, this is not mandatory in the present outside of Israel, but it is permissible, and some observant people do so) (CCA52). See Kohein.
421. To set apart t'rumah g'dolah (the great heave-offering, that is, a small portion of the grain, wine and oil) for the kohein (Deut. 18:4) (affirmative) (CCI11). See Kohein.
422. Not to expend the proceeds of the second tithe on anything but food and drink (Deut. 26:14). Anything outside of things necessary for sustenance comes within the class in the phrase "Given for the dead" (negative).

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. (Num 18:24)

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. (Lev 27:32)

He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. (Lev 27:33)

Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: (Deu 12:17)

Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth. (Deu 12:19)

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. (Deu 14:22)

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: (Deu 14:28)

And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. (Deu 14:29)

And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. (Deu 18:3)

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (Luk 11:42)

A picture of how BIBLICAL marriage is illustrated - GRACE and TRUTH

Circumcision could still have some meaning behind a person's sexuality practices, but because of Christ, the circumcision is in the heart.

Christianity needs renewal and strength.....not reformation

Reformation implies that something "Religious" needs to be a reformed "Religion."  In other words the words of the pope don't apply as strongly as the bible, but the people still want to keep their religion, just reform it.  Furthermore, there is much evidence that outward symbols and things have NOTHING to do with love for God and service to humanity.  The popular writings of -Martin Luther- had some anti-semetic tones which led to death of many innocent people.  The misinformed writings of -founders of america- led to the death of many innocent people.  Both popular men referenced the BIBLE of all things.  They believed in conversion by FORCE......rather than in conversion to Christ by LOVE and REDEMPTION.  Even though the popular men existed and said some bad things, people could still use some of the good that the men accomplished.

These historical men who used, political tones, rather than redemption tones in their writing did NOT consider the WHOLE of the HOLY BIBLE to help understand redemption in asupernatural tone. Jesus died on the Cross and was King of the Jews.  People in their beliefs east of Jerusalem had/have ancestors that believe in ancestors that died for them (they did practice human sacrifice in their tribes on occasion).  The whole man is enveloped in the whole tribe in culture east of Jerusaelm.  In otherwords a sort of worship is given to specific man.  In the bible, JEsus happened to have LOVE for others (Jew and Gentile) as an unusual tone.  He had love for others outside of "marriage boundaries"........so to speak.  Another unsusual tone which many who practice Christianity do not understand UNLESS they apply the whole bible.  He required MORE than just love between marriage-certificate and ceremony practices........LOVE YOUR ENEMIES!  (even if those enemies have lust problems, stealing problems, hatred problems etc etc)

By definitions from the KJV bible (whom various writings of the book were burned and the writer himself was burned at the stake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tyndale) there is ENOUGH information in the KJV HOLY BIBLE to help men get through life effectively and efficiently especially if they are speaking in the English language.

The writings of the KJV Holy Bible are used in various Baptist groups, Independent Faith groups, by the individuals themselves with no group or only family, Quaker groups historically, Anabaptist groups and by Messianic Groups.


I am going to focus ONLY on the Messianic Groups due to the Jewish nature of Jesus the Messiah.

First of all, in order to strengthen a man spiritually, he or she needs to know God's laws.

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa_1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

So to be blessed one must KNOW his law!  This concept has NOT changed, even though many protestant churches teach grace.......which grace is still there, it is a matter of PAYING ATTENTION to what the bible actually says.

Many times Messianic Groups will say to study TORAH/the law portion of the bible and pay extra special attention to it.  In the New Testament we are explained a few things about "the law"
-Heb_10:1  For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
-Tit_3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
-1Ti_1:8  But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

So the LAW is good!  It is NOT something that men should fear or reject as Christians and followers of Jesus.  If one does use the LAW....use it lawfully through JESUS/Messiah because HE used it lawfully, when we on our own strength could not.

Study of the BIBLE helps strengthen believers in Jesus. Study of "the law" helps strengthen and bless believers.

Meditation on Psalms and Proverbs strengthens believers too!

Biblical Law and NT explaination -Kohanim and Levites

(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.

(Luk 3:2)  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

Should children use "social media" or other private internet accounts?

The answer to this is actually found in the bible, of all places.  Social media, and private internet accounts are NOT just about "dating" and whom you find to marry.  It is NOT just about keeping up with peers.  It is about how the children should interact appropriately with this world.

1. Should children be expected to stand up and say the 10 commandments at a young age to a foreign man?

2. Would you want your children to talk with someone in a prison or came out of one?

3. Do you want your children to talk to people from a land that speaks Urdu?

4. Are you interested in keeping up with a foreign missionary who worked in the medical department in a refugee camp?

5. Do you want your children to see the positive inspirational posts from Aunt Mary who has cancer?

6. Are there some people of a different religious value that have some good things to say about how to gain more wisdom?

7.  Do you want your children to share bible stories with various people?

8. Do you want your children to explain how they studied ornithology and went through an astronomy lesson for the day?

9. Is there a social issue you are concerned about that you believe your children should know about?

10. Do you want your children to use nice words and language with others in this world?

********************

(There are other -evils- out there besides just the sex-trafficking business)

1. Do you want your children to start meeting up with people who want spouses to divorce and remarry them in particular for a special "religious marriage" in a foreign land?

2. Do you want your children to see their friend's binge drinking?

3. Do you want your children to hear about your neighbor's "infidelity/LGBT marriage".....?

4. Do you want your children to be exposed to people with severe, false accusation -mental health issues- which cause them to curse and misuse God's word?

5. Do you want your children to be bullied/be a bully more easily and readily without respect of elders or peers?

6. Do you want your children to be "hooked" on such internet interactions without actually knowing how to sit down in a neighborly manner with a close and kind neighbor lady?

7. Do you want the children exposed to "things to buy" rather than "things to make"?

8. Do you want your children to interact with -lust driven- people (not always criminal behaving, just misguided), who talk -sweet talk- to your children and have no intention of actual long term relationship.  In some cases even exposing themselves to your child. (shh....don't tell your mother.....types of boyfriends and girlfriends).

9. Do you want your children to promote their own sin issues, if they don't really have control of their life?

10.  Do you want your children exposed to people who EXPECT you to like their rated-X movie and book choices?

PS.  Some internet accounts are FAKE accounts and want money.  They look good, godly and so forth but only the wise who are aware of good and evil in the heart (30 years old or greater) would be able to spot these issues......

The answer is in the bible to all of these questions.  Go through Matthew Chapter 5.  Whom and how do you want your children to interact with this world?  Be persecuted and/or be aware of those who are persecuted?  Be merciful and/or be aware of those who are merciful?  Be exposed to lust-driven people and/or be aware of what that is (allow your children to get exposed to rated-x materials)? Be exposed to people who hate and/or aware of what that is?  Ask questions from the (matt 5)/an entire chapter in the bible and relate it to online social or private interactions. (The writer of this blog worked in help-desk at a college and knows that technology can be used for EVIL or GOOD)......

In all honesty, it is better to have your children know how to run a wringer washing machine and live as if they are living in the 1930's BEFORE they even attempt to do any online internet activities that require private accounts.  The schools don't agree (as they don't have guards on their eyes about rated-x materials, as well as the parents can have on their child's eyes).  But that is just the way the modernized school happens to be.

Notes on confusing "sexuality" and/or relationship topics.....without throwing knives and needles.....

1Co_5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

First of all, the verse itself gives us the option as Christians, especially if they are called a "brother", you either eat "with them" or "eat alone"......  The bible says it is BETTER to eat in PEACE alone than to eat WITH THEM.  (many lonely prophets in OT).

*Fornicator -lustful things, sexual activity without purpose or determination towards commitment found in the ceremony, any sexual impurity, sexual impurity promotion in laws, phallic culture
*Covetous -wanting other people's "things,"  not accepting what the creator has provided, whining about things and so forth.
*Idolater -objects are more important than people, getting to an "event" is more important than seeing a long lost relative or friend, creating lots of "things" to sell without purpose behind a cultural representation, following after special famous people constantly
*Railer -constant bitter complaints, consistent condemnations, threatening an innocent person as being evil when they are not
*Drunkard -no value in moderate use of alcoholic drink, social pressure to look good with alcohol, consistent dependency on alcoholic drink rather than on God's word
*Extortioner -obtaining money or things of value by an illegal means, adding excessive price or interest to things which cause the person in need to suffer.

So what if that person who practices those "things" is your very own spouse?close family member?:

Take note:

*So if you know of a class gathering, a fellowship of some sort, a political rally, a celebration, a parade or anything of that nature, we should not even EAT with certain people who "idolize" such practices.

*In the Anabaptist groups, they would refer to such a person as being "shunned."  There is nothing evil with shunning, but there is something evil if a person doesn't forgive those who were ONCE one of those types of people who then repented, as we all were in that category.

*In the first-century Christian life, the people were WILD.  I mean they were partiers and really practiced things in a crazy way.  Nero was one of the most recognized as being so viciously wicked.  Marriage had no rule and perhaps no real love essentially.  Those listed things were practiced among the people whom the first-century Christians were not to associate.  REASONS HERE --> "In the case of insobriety it is not the act of eating and drinking but the excess of eating and drinking which is sinful."


*Now Christianity is based on the reality that all humanity came from the genetic code and behavior of Adam and Eve.  Old Adam or New Adam......men (and women too) have to make the choice.

*One man and one woman marriage is the most common (especially among those who came out of the Roman empire), but in reality, human sexuality has different tones, shades, and practices among Jews and Gentiles alike.  Some of it was in favor of God's laws, and some of it was in disfavor of God's laws.  Yes, there were Christians who did practice (and still practice) polygny for example.

*Adam was formed first.  Wife Eve was also formed.  In human ability to practice love, some practices are wicked and some practices are considered pleasure.  Some practices are considered good, while some practices are considered unclean.

*Many people believe that marriage is until death do we part (which it is essential for reality sake), but that is not a true godly marriage. Godly marriage is wanting and willing to GIVE love to the other spouse.  What if the other spouse ended up in something that would put him or her in danger for a very long time???  Raped?  Given STD workplace?

*Sexuality practices that are done and can be practiced with one man and one woman can also be practiced with those outside of the marriage or with "same gender" people.  So Romans 1-2 explained that people CHOSE to go against nature.  They wanted pleasure, but they CHOSE to CHANGE and ignore the worship aspect of who created sexuality in the first place. -Go ahead and circle the word CHANGED in the KJV bible- (The world says that people are "Born that way"....but this is a lie, and sexuality practices of any type actually has to do with how a man or woman worships the creator)

*Many people grow up and are surrounded by sexual impurity.  They may have been lightly abused as children or severely abused.  Some were ignored, others were involved too heavily in poorly established relationships from a young age (boyfriend and girlfriend).  Some people were surrounded by wicked advice to cause young girls to get married before full development and maturity.  Some people grew up in slavery environments and had no choice (historically this occured).  God's love and redemption cure still works for those who are/were injured.

*Focus on bible study and meditation (like King David who even had an adultery problem (Psalm 51......)) cures a lot of the misinformation that we as humanity receive in regards to proper sexuality topics and ideas.  It helps us to focus more on the basic needs and desires in this life.  Read different types of stories like about Sarah (she was beautiful), Dinah (other men seduced her) etc.

*Polyamourous, Polygyny practices were practiced among many different tribes.  Some of the practices are not unbiblical, some practices are unbiblical.  Brotherly love is biblical expression of love as even Jesus loved disciples and others besides just his "bride."  Queen Esther loved her "tribe" and the conditions that God gave her, not just her husband.

*Know that we who are followers of Biblical Messiah/ Jesus/Yeshua, and seek his return are not in BONDAGE to the issues that the world faces.  We are not the ones going against God if we ourselves are not making those choices.  We are focused on memorizing psalms and proverbs, grasping the understanding of how to serve man better by reviewing the biblical laws and Psalms 119.....reviewing the parables of Jesus spoke and more.  The world, system, general culture cares less about this kind of HOLY LOVE.  We are only redeemed through -THY WORD-

*The bible has a list of kings/rulers who had no sexual impurity problems (except King David and adultery-yet God STILL used him) for MANY years....over 1000.  No other kingdom or tribe has this record. List of spouses from bible.

*Bible verses to consider: Mat_5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  ; Pro_6:25  Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

*It is better not to -pay- govt' marriage certificates and follow God's plan for love and marriage, than to pay -Ceasar- who doesn't truly care about the human condition before a loving God.

*Sexual impurity in women is NOT cured by getting married as a VIRGIN.  This is a myth and will always remain this way (even nature will teach this).  No, it is by FAITH in JESUS and that TRUTH that helps women to stay pure and keep heart away from men who wish her harm and/or moral compromise.

*The Holy Kiss may or may not prevent sexual impurity issues in Christian living.  It is more of a way to express godly love over-all, than a preventative measure against sin issues in the heart.

*Men can have feminine tendencies, like a "nursing mother" as described in passages of the bible.  This is a condition of nature.  HOWEVER, it is WRONG for a man to take on "feminine" roles when he needs to "BE A MAN" and accept the person of JESUS who paid for sin in his heart.

*Any "abuse" website that claims they are Christian and says that LGBT people are "born that way" are in error with the scripture and have many fault finding problems with the scripture.  Such websites are often filled with scorn and mockery, in the comments and beyond.  DO NOT trust those particular websites, except on common issues that all face.  They often find problems with patriarchy or "woman remain silent" types of faith beliefs.....aka. it is ok for women to "speak" just speak in GODLY terms and HUMBLE terms.

*God STILL used people who had sexuality that was not quite right (or perfected by Jesus redemption).  Rahab was a prostitute.  Samson was.....well, pretty manly.  Jephthah was the son of a harlot.

*There are MANY bible stories that reflect that LUST is not good for humanity.  Jew or Gentile.  Even to this day.  Dinah (pulled around by men....after she hung out with the wrong girls), Sarah (she was beautiful and pulled into another man's house....but God protected her)......so on and so forth.

*Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Rom 1:21)

*Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (Rom 1:24)

*Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Rom 1:25)

*And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (Rom 1:28) (They did not retain God in their knowledge, so they had no conviction and understanding of -THY WORD-)

*But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. (Rom 2:2)

***************************************************************************

A post I posted on facebook.....to warn people.....or help people understand "issues" that happen in the natural condition of "men".....

****WARNING: UNMARRIED children need monitoring on internet accounts, exposure happens, lust-chit-chat......on the most innocent accounts (craigslist, social media, email etc). People don't even need to be "arab" or jihadist or anything of that type.....it just does happen***** Married adults should know how to talk honestly with their spouse about this stuff.....

Lust stuff (its even found at the doctor's office) has been issue since bible times and it STILL is problem......(It will continue to be a problem unless people wise-up) (It plays key role in domestic problems, friendship failures, family failures, church failures....and could get worse and into criminal behavior etc. to this day) Notice the signs before brew some bad stuff..... "And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel......" Genesis has more details about the "soap opera" at play....

Sign 1. Who is daughter, girl, grown woman hanging out with and what are they promoting (outward beauty or inward beauty)? Dinah went out to see the daughters of the land.

Sign 2. Dinah had no Knowledge of how to control the acts of Shechem. He was around and "saw" her. So she put herself in a place where the man could SEE her.

Sign 3. Soul cleaving. The man uses WORDS to convince of a type of LOVE for the woman. Does he love the OUTWARD beauty or inward condition of the heart? What types of things is he saying? He was saying KIND things.......but without confronting this stuff with others who wanted to protect Dinah (brothers, cousins, uncles, elders.....)

Sign 4. The things were done in darkness (trying to hide information from others) and then the things came to light. Dinah did not know how to "keep him away" by protection from other trustable men in her life...... perhaps....or general medical knowledge of things.

Sign 5. *not listed* Know the behaviour of Levites.....tough on lovers who really do have lust issues (violent behaviour towards Shechem) rather than complete fullness of Love through the gospel. Sometimes -things happen- and good can come out of evils in the heart. Levites don't care to understand.....only filled with wrath.

**Strangers on the internet do say these things to woman. Wanted or not wanted, modestly dressed, mildly dressed or immodestly dressed......chit-chat.....so to speak. Sometimes when a woman is wise.....the lust-talk can be given something that simmers things down to a -soul cleansing level- so it doesn't create a big flame. Think "gospel" talk and sharing instead, as appropriate.***

Biblical Law and NT explanation: Clothing and Firstborn

(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.

Clothing

365. That a man shall not wear women's clothing (Deut. 22:5) (CCN179).
366. That a woman should not wear men's clothing (Deut. 22:5) (CCN178).

But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. (Num 18:17)

Discipline for people living in sin..... "repent"

So, a person may say, xyz group of people are awful people.  They have incest problems, they have infidelity problems, they have rape problems, they have issues with staring at pornography, they have xyz problems.  The list goes on and on and on and on.  It is obviously THEY.

However, look at your own ability to remove sin from your life.  Have you ever thought about doing something that is not godly?  Even thinking of something that is bad is sin.

So would changing your diet remove sin from your life.  a. Yes, definitely b. No, probably not.

Would changing the places you live remove sin from your life. a. Yes, definitely b. No, probably not.

Would changing the things you say remove sin from your life. a. Yes, definitely b. No, probably not.

The answer is this.  All have sinned.  The puritans.  The xyz tribe.  The atheist.  The Jews.  The gentiles.  We've thought bad things.  We've done bad things.  We've avoided things we should have done.

We are all on the same planet.  We all breathe air that the creator allows us to breathe.  As long as we are alive on this planet, we will have to deal with sin.

So what do you do with men or women who are tempting you to.......live in sin?

Answer: Show them love.

Jesus said we should, he showed us how to love.  So go and do what he says.


When we live in hate and all the other things that go with it (scorn, bitterness, unforgiveness etc) we deal with people's sin as if we can control and divide them ourselves.

When we live in love (Jesus kind of love) and all the other things that go with it (kindness, mercy, joy, peace etc) we deal with people's sin as if JESUS took control of it and can keep us in his heavenly presence.

What is safe and unsafe polyamory? -love thy neighbor-

To begin with a person needs to discuss what is true about human relationships in a monogamous relationship.

1. It is not safe to assume you can own your partner for life.  No only Jesus/the creator/redeemer can actually own a person.  When a couple marries, sometimes one spouse follows Jesus and the other does not.

2. It is not safe to be consistently angry at your spouse (anything from financial issues to things your spouse eats).  If you are, then you do not understand Jesus and the price he paid for his bride.

3. It is not safe to assume that you are better than your spouse.  Such lack of humility will always fail.

4. It is not safe to take over your spouse's intellectual or spiritual gifts.  These are given to the person and cannot be removed from the person for life.

5. It is not safe to assume that your spouse with no injuries before marriage will never get injured by another person in interactions in this life.

6. It is not safe to constantly watch everything that your spouse wears and believe you should control it, except in times where this is the case for necessary safety and blending in.

In essence, if you truly love your spouse, then if there was a major disaster in your area, natural or man-made, you would WANT your spouse to be safe.  Even if that spouse was raped or fell into belief that you had died and found a new "lover."

So with poly relationships, there are similar safety mechanisms.

1. It is not safe to form a relationship with a new person who has invested time and energy into "lust" after other people.  Anything from pornography to internal desires in public areas.

2. If is not safe to assume that forming a relationship with someone who does not share moral values is safe. (Do you avoid sports games, dirty/scary movies, certain types of music, certain religious practices etc.  So why try so hard to build a relationship that will not balance itself.)

3. It is not safe to build a relationship where the only thing that matters to that person is bed-room activity.

4. It is not safe to build a relationship with someone who doesn't respect yours or their current spouse's minority condition or heritage.

5. It is not safe to form a relationship with someone who does not want to meet and respect your current children, close family or friends.

6. It is not safe to form a relationship with a person who will not tell you the truth about any sexually transmitted diseases.

7. It is not safe to form a relationship where the person pursuing the relationship is not patient. (Check character)

8. It is not safe to form a deep relationship with someone outside the marriage who does not understand the meaning of such relationships.  They don't understand open-marriage, agree with or understand those types of things of that nature.

All in all.  Polyamoury people may end up "feeling" single in their local area while being married simply because the current spouse has his/her issues and desires are not getting met, while stopping the relationship will not actually improve the situation at hand.

Follow God's will in one's life is the best plan.  It may be that you need to stay with your current situation at hand for safety reasons.  Jesus offers the most love for humanity.  Trust that reality.

Note: This truth is that polyamoury should never be used as an excuse to commit adultery or promote things that are in opposition to God's laws.  It should never be used as an excuse to "divorce and remarry" (John the baptist spoke of that issue).  Jesus LOVED Mary, Martha and Lazarus (and the whole world too).  A man has and CAN say safely to a couple.....I love you -Sue and Jim, Jim and Sue-, without committing an act of adultery, it is a deep feeling that is REAL for godly people.

Furthermore remember the bible verses about affection in marriage: "Ex 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money."

Old Testament Laws and NT explanation - Ag/animals

(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.

Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

358. Not to cross-breed cattle of different species (Lev. 19:19) (according to the Talmud, this also applies to birds) (CCN142).
359. Not to sow different kinds of seed together in one field (Lev. 19:19) (CCN107).
360. Not to eat the fruit of a tree for three years from the time it was planted (Lev. 19:23) (CCN105). See Tu B'Shevat.
361. That the fruit of fruit-bearing trees in the fourth year of their planting shall be sacred like the second tithe and eaten in Jerusalem (Lev. 19:24) (affirmative) (CCI16). See Tu B'Shevat.
362. Not to sow grain or herbs in a vineyard (Deut. 22:9) (negative).
363. Not to eat the produce of diverse seeds sown in a vineyard (Deut. 22:9) (negative).
364. Not to work with beasts of different species, yoked together (Deut. 22:10) (CCN180).

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. (Lev 19:19)

And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. (Lev 19:23)

But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. (Lev 19:24)

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. (Deu 22:9)

Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. (Deu 22:10)

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: (Mat 22:5)

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. (Mat 20:1)

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: (Mat 21:33)

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. (1Co 3:2)

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. (1Co 8:13)

Conditions where love/lust was apparent outside of marriage......For GOOD reasons.

Love outside the marriage is relatively safe and painless, provided there are no addiction tendencies, no interference physically or psychologically.  Reflections on the psalms, proverbs and law causes the heart to KNOW what is appropriate love and what is inappropriate love.  Lust/Rape/Pride and so forth are not godly behaviors and are ways in which men and woman believe themselves sinless.

Institutional conditions create a tension in schools, hospitals and other professional atmospheres.  Such environments are often filled with scorn, division, control and thoughtlessness.  Why bring such tendencies into the definition of "love"?  Why define the "church" body as an institutional thing, when it is actually "love for GOD......a desire to do GOD's will."  Is love institutional as in a marriage should be institutional?  No.  That is not the truth.

Love outside of marriage does not have to be fornication practicing or catering to lustful thoughts or entertainments (such as pornography materials, purposeful infidelity etc), but rather a type of self-control in which the person at hand is admired and respected for his or her qualities.  It also does not have to be mind bending and opposed to the "laws" of the bible.

Focusing on the redeemer and his qualities, helps us to understand HOW to love.

There are good examples of love outside of marriage and there are negative examples of love outside of marriage.

Brotherly and Sisterly love is a condition that CHRISTIANS need to have.  Otherwise the truth of Christ is not shared with the world.

Rom_12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
1Th_4:9  But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
Heb_13:1  Let brotherly love continue.
2Pe_1:7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Rom_16:16  Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
1Co_16:20  All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
2Co_13:12  Greet one another with an holy kiss.
1Th_5:26  Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

These are the stories that reflect such conditions.

Good:
Abigail, Naboth, David
David and Jonathan
Mary Martha Lazarus and Jesus
The disciple whom Jesus loved
Adulterous woman not stoned
Job talked with his friends (his wife was not a good wife)
Esther had love for her people (she still submitted and respected her husband but she had love for others)

Forgiven:
Gomer and Hosea
Adulterous woman not stoned
Patriarchy conditions of Abe, Isaac and Jacob
David and Bathsheba
Samson
Joseph (against him)
Woman at the well
Joseph was a carpenter.  It does mention that he didn't know what to do with Mary in betrothal except being led by Holy Spirit. (Jesus himself was conceived outside of marriage)


Bad:
Herod's wife (divorced and remarried)
Tamar
Dinah
Sodom and Gomorrah (describes that the people were greedy and not giving)
Kings and Concubines (caused the heart of the kings to turn against God)
Judah
Ahab and Jezabel (they were married but wicked, so being married doesn't make a person good)
Eli's children

There could be others in the bible, but for now, this is a general list.
