Christian Liberty: Independent Income or Frugal Advantages (1)

*Information in this article is not intended to replace proper wisdom as directed by people who are experienced in dealing with symptoms.  Any information given and used by the individual, if it was done in a way that did not work, may not be used against the writer. Christian Liberty : Christian Liberty Introduction


There are times were people have a tight budget.  Maybe prices are inflated in your area.  Maybe there is extreme government corruption and food prices are simply not affordable.  What is the solution to extreme situations?

For the first thing, do NOT look to your government to support you in difficult times.  This is the number one mistake.  The reason for this, is because governments can ONLY create long "lines."  Governments cannot create people who think on their feet and think of others efficiently.  Government is the vehicle, but the vehicle can go out of control at any moment and the people under government resources can fail at any moment in time. 

During times of extreme poverty, some people have gone to the point of "dumpster diving,"  but really a person doesn't need to do this if they have connections to high quality restaurants or stores who are willing to offer you the "left overs" or foods that can not be used to serve the customers.  Many times stores send their produce that is not good for customer approval to food pantries anyhow. 

When a food pantry resource or kind-nature food store owners are not in your area, think wisely about looking to "wild edible foods" for a natural resource.  Go fishing, learn wild edible plants, trap wild animals and things of that sort.  Common wild-edible foods that can be used for most seasons includes cat-tail, dandelion, and varieties of nuts and berries.

If persecutions in your area are high (religious persecution, unemployment due to corrupt agendas or otherwise) and you live in a desert location, think about finding ways to fast during the difficult seasons to preserve internal energy.  Live away from those who persecute you, as Jesus would even advise this and did not give in to every person who wanted something from him.  When ever you are given the opportunity to receive bulk amounts of rice, grains or flour, take up on the opportunity to receive these gifts.  Think about the story of Joseph in the bible and how he said to save up for seven good years and seven bad years.  When ever there is opportunity to own a few animals, take those opportunities as well.


As far as shelter or clothing are concerned in difficult areas, think about using natural shelters when times are high in persecution.  Build shelters that are camouflage in difficult areas.  Build shelters that are sturdy or higher up in areas where there are lots of carnivorous wild-life like mountain lions and bears.  Clothing can be made of natural leaves and fibers in some areas.  Otherwise animal skins can be used as clothing if the availability for fabric is not available.  A "sack cloth" is all that is needed to function in difficult persecution areas, but don't assume because you wear the "sack cloth" and they don't that you are better off in your Christian walk.  This could be an area of pride, where such income CAN be made to supply needs to more people in your area or in other areas of high persecution.

It is illegal to...... take a "dependent persons" DNA..... heritage...

This individual could be a child.

This individual could be a disabled adult.

This individual could be a homeless child.

This individual could be a homeless adult.

This individual could be an elderly adult.

What ever the case happens to be, this "individual" is DEPENDENT!

So if someone is working with your "dependent child" or "dependent adult" in a professional way, like a school, place of employment or service for food/shelter, a hospital or other source where dependent people are in need of services, make SURE they have a "policy" in place where they are required to take a class that does NOT check these things and get away with it.

For example, a "teacher" orders a lot of heritage DNA kits.  He or she hands them out to the students and tells the students what to do, (the instructions are VERY simple by the way).  The "teacher" NEVER asked the student's parent or guardian for permission, that can spell a "disaster."  Someone could have a hatred for some "group of people" just because their religion told them to hate that group of people, or they are afraid of the behavior of that group of people and things of that sort.  For example (there may be some extreme Catholicism in Irish people who dislike Jewish people)



and


There could be a "family member" that dislikes anyone with Jewish heritage and abandon this type of person.  OR there could be a person with EXTREME islamophobia which attacks a person based on the headscarf or outward appearances, not knowing that they are also attacking someone like the attacking anti-semetism of Nazi-Germany.

I don't know Lauren Daigle....but she sings a VERY appropriate song.  In fact, there ARE some characteristics found in certain people where a person can "guess" the heritage.  But sometimes it is hard to tell.  This past weekend, I went to a meeting with mostly adults and there was a woman from Bagdhad there.  To me, she seemed very SIMILAR to the behavior of a friend I met that has a lot of Native American heritage.  Very friendly and nice.  Her clothing was basic american clothing, like an indigenous woman would wear.  Same principle. So I have NO IDEA what Lauren Daigle's heritage happens to be, but she sings what is MOST important:



Maybe in all of this people just DON'T like the reality of what JESUS could look like if he was a modern "american" version of a DNA test.......

But heritage does not SAVE a person from SIN (lies, deceptions, mistrust, false accusations, stealing, vandelism, gossip, scorn etc etc), I believe this is the final truth.

Furthermore, if there are "trust" issues with a grandparent, family member, or person close to the family, do NOT supply them with information about your "dependent child" or "dependent adult" in any way, shape or form, as there could be many preconceived ideas that are false about the heritage of the person dependent.  FALSE PEOPLE (those who claim to love this particular minority group....by getting special certificates and degrees) will say FALSE things about the PARENT in order to promote their own selfish agendas.

Here is an example of a FALSE "heritage" person:

It is entirely possible that she IS lying about her heritage, because the "common man" can and does put up videos on you-tube about their heritage without a "blink" of the eye.


The results of these FALSE people is either that they continue on with their own pride, or create VERY difficult situations for the "minority" or "select hated" group and people end up placed into CONCENTRATION camps  (by the way Holocaust survivors are STILL alive today!).....



Here is a pretty good book to read on this matter.  It is a book that came from the college I attended.:

The Color of Water........

This book exposes basic truths.  I cannot say that ALL the ideas from the college were beneficial, but this book is beneficial.


I have NO IDEA what the heritage of this family (I know they are not 100% perfect or on target) happens to be (even in the 7th + generation).....but the VERBAL ABUSE comments that come from far-left make me wonder if they are "liking" the presence of the Holy Spirit to fill our homes with LIFE and love....

Pregnancy lowers a woman's chance to get disease and improves life for men.....

Now this is a basic truth.

I have even heard this truth from left-leaning people!

Yes.

Truly.

Essentially, the human body is DESIGNED to bear and RAISE children.

Its a basic element.

I don't think it is wrong to have 3 children if that is all you can handle (social conditions, health conditions and so forth).

I don't think it is wrong to have 20 children (social conditions, health conditions and so forth)

Some women do struggle with "pregnancy."  I understand that.

Some men do struggle with "fathering."  I understand that.

The thing where I think it is "wrong" to put pressure on someone is if the family is forced to bear 20 children but they want their children to have a variety of talents and strengths.  Maybe they are an intellectually gifted family. 

I also think it is "Wrong" to put pressure on someone if the family is forced to only have 2 children, but they have the social capability to loving more than 2 children.

Whether the family raises 2 children or 20 children doesn't matter as far as "moral" quality of the family life is concerned.  I have heard of troublesome situations (like molestation problems) for family with 2 children , I have heard of troublesome situations for a family of 20 children (like the Duggar situation with Josh Duggar).  By the way, I have a best friend who has a family member in her family that has 20+ children.  I hung out with them a LOT growing up and I NEVER had any problems like that.

All in all, its a general acknowledgement in the CHILD's MIND about what is right an wrong.

I had some "jokers" in the extended family (they are playing some games and joking about this and that in their video).  That was not a negative thing in my life.  In fact, maybe it gave me some strength to go through difficult times.  I believe this family (I use their example a lot because they are so similar to what I grew up with on my Mother's side of the family....especially the cousins that are closer in age.) does acknowledge biblical things, its just that they are AWARE of what goes on in this world, and can happen that hurts people.


For more information on topics like "family size" and womanhood/fatherhood issues check out: Above Rubies.  I think this resource is pretty good, but with a little "fear" of the secular culture, but like not way off track as far as understanding what is good and bad influence on the biblical family life.

Should you attend that wedding? Should you mock their beliefs?

There are many different ways that people look at "marriage."

Some look at it like an institution.

Some look at it like a friendship.

Some look at it like a religious thing to do.

Some look at it like a way to show love to a spouse and to others.

Some people just cheat or get accused of cheating.........

No one looks at it the SAME way.

Why?

Because people come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

So if a person says to you that they only support some types of weddings and not others, does that make that person a BAD WICKED EVIL person?  I wouldn't think so.  Not in the REAL world that is based off of biblical truths.

A marriage CEREMONY is a "one day" thing for most people.  Historically, for Jewish people, even in Jesus' day, it was supposedly a "many day" ceremony as the relatives needed food and things for support and travel!  Can people "live" without food for a day?  Yes.  Can people live and still appreciate each other without seeing someone at a ceremony for one day? Yes.

Now is marriage as a whole still important for CHRISTIANS?  Answer: Yes.  It is a spiritual thing that occurs.  The heart "changes" in a marriage, so it IS an important aspect.

So considering those situations, lets take a look at friendship and those living in this world.  Some people in this world are NOT christian.  They simply do not believe the bible as a useful book.  Does that mean that certain people should be "ridiculed" for supporting certain types of marriages?

All in all, if a person looked at marriage like "food" then a person would understand more about the conditions that surround why certain people support some marriages and not others.

Some religious beliefs say it is not good to eat "pork."  Does this mean that friendship and acknowledgement of a person as a whole individual needs to end because the person doesn't eat "pork"?  No.  Some people are actually allergic to "tomatoes."  Does that mean that friendship and acknowledgement of a person as a whole individual needs to end because the person CAN'T eat "tomatoes"?  Some people like to eat banana and ketchup sandwiches.  Does that mean that that friendship and acknowledgement of a person as a whole individual needs to end because the person LIKES that type of food?  No. No. No and NO.

Now here is where the issue comes into play.  Some people think it is NORMAL to force others to believe things against their will!  I believe that people are alive because they have been given two lungs with which to breathe.  There is a general TRUTH about that aspect.  I also believe that men are given certain hormones and women are given certain hormones.  The level of hormone may differ.  There is a general TRUTH about that aspect.  Some people think that denying certain aspects of history (like the Holocaust) makes the future look better.  There is a general TRUTH about the RESULTS of that aspect.

Essentially, forcing someone to "attend" and/or support something they don't believe in, is a sort of abuse or oppressive means of going through this life.  Forcing someone to believe or disbelieve in the bible (Old and/or New Testament) is oppressive.  Just as with "foods"....the same goes for marriage beliefs.

A person doesn't need to "go into details" and pry on a person, but some people WERE abused in certain situations, like private family matters or being put on the stage by "wicked men."  Does it mean we need to abandon, fire, mock, or scorn them?  Or go into the "reasons" behind their support or lack of support?  No.

In general, the rule of thumb for male-female relationships and marriages are this: brotherly and sisterly love is normal part of life.  A marriage doesn't make a person whole in general, but it can be a witness of the TRUTH especially if it is done in a LAWFUL GODLY sort of way.

Of course, the ungodly world will continue MOCKING the truth, because they don't LOVE the TRUTH.  But that is the way it is.

(Feel free to use this article as a resource, if someone tries to disagree with you about LGBT issues and extreme beliefs)

What is the ancestry of the American "white Christian"??

So a lot of people like to "mock"  White Christians of America, thinking that will improve upon humanity and its conditions.  They especially like to disfigure the common "white male."  Calling them Nazi's and other nonsense things.  Some white people "do" become extreme, but many have the ability to discern the nonsense in that.  In some ways, I believe the people who come "closer" to middle-east (like North Africa descent), may claim MORE genetic ancestry connections to Jewish heritage even though the connections could be about the same.

The couple in this video may or may not be Christian, BUT they do have ancestry in America as we speak and they do have a lot of family history from the East Coast and the Mid-West.

Anyhow here is one video.  (It seems to be a promotional video, but I believe that this is a real couple):



Most people who know that they may have some "middle east" ancestry (but mostly white northern European ancestry) probably have cousins that look like these guys.:



Why does ancestry "matter"?  Answer: well it did for the identification of JESUS and who he entirely was as a person.  But us, individually, it is an interesting story of our lives.  Its a pattern of why we are what we are.  Why our ancestors did what they did.  It doesn't mean that some ancestors were better than others, its just that things went the way that they did.  Anyone could have had some "good" ancestors and some "bad" ancestors.

So making fun of "biblical laws" (and the people who pay attention to them) is entirely "vain" in its attempt to remove the TRUTH from humanity and the heart of humanity.  Really it is.

The unfortunate thing with "ancestry" and knowing it, is that people continue to "categorize" people by their OUTWARD appearance and not the INWARD appearance.  A person who has many features from "native american" ancestry may not even have indigenous heritage, or may be beyond 5th generation and have no connection to those roots.

A person who can discern things can recognize the features (type of voice difference, character differences etc) of a person from Latin america and Indigenous America like Shawn Mendes.  These features don't come from "the other side" of the world.:



People with roots on american soil will more than likely have percentages like this or more in-depth:

11Now
0.521980
0.2531950
0.12541920
0.062551890
0.0312561860
0.01562571830
0.00781381800
0.00390691770
0.001953101740


Sometimes I think if people grew up "baptist" and then they find out they have "Jewish Ancestry" they may decide to start a more "messianic" type of church, considering the mode of belief and how we grasp the universe and its conditions.

Did Jesus (Yeshua) celebrate Purim?

YES!

And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far, To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth, To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry. And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
(Est 9:20-32)


In the passage it indicates that this festival was "initiated"

Now what time of the year did this celebration occur for the first celebration of Purim?  

A few hints:

It was before the barley harvest.

On the Qumran calendar the feast of Purim lands on a "new moon" during the 1st cycle.  During the second cycle it lands immediately after the "full moon."  During the third cycle it lands on the weekend before the "new moon."  This year it is (2017-31 = FULL NUMBER, so that equals FIRST CYCLE). 

Essentially it was the new-moon before the barley harvest.  (This is important because indigenous and ancient cultures reflect upon the signs in nature to indicate time).

Considering axiel procession, a person could possibly determine when the first celebration actually occurred.

Essentially this celebration continued until the time of Jesus and continues to be celebrated by Jews (and Gentiles who notice the significance of such a celebration;)



Why is it good to keep celebrations and traditions?  Because the bible says it is OK to inaugurate feasts that celebrate the -salvation- of a group of people.

In the "modern world" I believe that the threat towards humanity are issues like unnecessary abortions, life-less lifestyles/addictions (need positive things to keep people motivated outside of political realms), terrorism and its promoters, lack of knowledge of the ancient cultures.....

Abusive patriarchy and feminism float on the same boat.....

It is a boat that sinks.

A man looks at a woman and says to himself, hey, that beautiful woman belongs to ME.  She isn't even prepared to deal with his inadequacies.  She doesn't know he even has inadequacies.  Basically, the woman turns into "property" and must ALWAYS listen to what a man says.  She can never put confidence in her GOD.  She can never have understanding of what the bible FULLY says.  She can never love other men in a "godly sort of way."  She can never have "sisterly love" towards other woman.

Feminism is on the same boat.

A woman looks at a man and says to herself, hey, that handsome dude belongs to ME.  He isn't even prepared to deal with her inadequacies.  HE doesn't know she had inadequacies.  Basically, the man turns into "property" and must ALWAYS listen to what a woman says.  He can never put confidence in his GOD.  He can never have understanding of what the bible FULLY says.  He can never love other women in a "godly sort of way."  He can never have "brotherly love" towards other men.

So, confidence in the flesh, so to speak, is a boat that sinks.  Sometimes it sinks slowly, as people give all their riches to the "political culture."  Sometimes it sinks quickly, as people give all their time and energy to "extremist groups."  Humor and the enjoyment of life are at a null in both situations.

Everything in life is set up already.  TRUTHS from nature and conditions already show us these things.  Love God first.  Love Neighbor as yourself!  And these problems would resolve.

Essentially these things have a tendency to come about when a man or woman puts too much confidence in "the scripture obedience" or in "scientific evidence" without considering that BOTH are necessary to resolve issues, by process of reason.

Christianity is NOT based off of the Gegorian Calendar

Why?

Because Christianity existed BEFORE the Gregorian Calendar existance!  Here is the timeline history for the Gregorian Calendar

Yes!  All the history data of martyrs in Christianity (even since the time of NERO), MATTERS!

Furthermore, the time of Noah and the ARK is given in the HOLY BIBLE!  God initiated this time to be specific based upon the signs in the heavens!  Go ahead, look up the time when the Ark landed.  It specifically says the month in which this happened!  In the KJV it says "in the month of."

Ancient cultures have used various versions of -lunar-nature-seasonal- calendars.  The Mayans even considered "planetary time" as an important factor in how they calculate things.  The "morning star" has significance in the bible!

Please consider learning MORE about GOD's time based DIRECTLY from the bible and astronomy data.

Of course no man can truly "adjust" their heart to the gospel UNLESS they are familiar with the gospel message and various people of the bible.  A "gregorian calendar" may be used to keep up with the needs to serve humanity, but in reality, people need redemption.  People NEED to understand that JESUS was there in the beginning during the time of CREATION!

His love is STILL there! His love is for you!

http://ephrataministries.org/listen.a5w


Many people go through needless suffering in this life.  They do not have to do the things that they do.  They do not have to accuse others the way that they do.  They do not have to continue on the wrong path in this life.

Listen to the message above.

Yes, I do know that there are some folks who misuse the bible (hence I do address issues in regards to how people indigenous to the bible are acknowledged and treated).

I do not like to involve my self in "political things" or "major social groups."  I may use some of those things as "illustration" in my blog posts.  But that is only because I know the importance of being aware of the people that need God more and more.

I enjoy investing time in knowing God more.  Loving people more.

So yes, listen to the message in the link given above.

Christian Liberty: Social Justice and Righteousness (4)

*Information in this article is not intended to replace proper wisdom as directed by people who are experienced in dealing with symptoms.  Any information given and used by the individual, if it was done in a way that did not work, may not be used against the writer. Christian Liberty : Christian Liberty Introduction


There are people in this world who live well below their means and maintain a happy lifestyle.  There are people in this world who live well beyond their means and maintain an unhappy lifestyle.  In the world of "income" there are people who believe that it isn't fair that a family member or neighbor achieved higher success than they did.  But what are they using to measure success?  Are they measuring success based on career goals?  Are they measuring success based on ability to manage a happy household?  Are they measuring success based on the talent of their children?  What types of means are they using to measure success?

The bible has a "success" measurement method in place.  It is an eternal measurement that will continue from generation to generation.  What is the "success" measurement?  The success measurement is JESUS.  HE maintained perfect CHARACTER and never sinned before the heavenly father.  HE is the ultimate example.

Do you think that JESUS thought "life is not fair" when he was mocked by people?  Do you think that Jesus thought life is not fair when his disciples couldn't continue praying all through the night?  Do you think that Jesus thought "life is not fair" when the people accused him of doing wrong when he was healing a man on the Sabbath?  Do you think Jesus thought "life is not fair" when he was betrayed? All these things indicate that even though JESUS went through life as an ordinary man, he had to encounter a lot of -unfair- things through his life.

Did he purposefully WANT these unfair things in his life?  No.  Was he smart enough to endure these things in life?  Yes.  He knew there would be problems with scribes and pharisees.

All in all, Jesus didn't maintain the thought of "life is not fair."  He kept enduring the suffering.  He kept maintaining his skills and ability.  He kept going through the trials.  He never once made a wrong move.  He maintained the TRUTH, despite the surrounding lies and manipulative thinking of the people.  Even as he was surrounded by a betrayer, he kept moving forwards, he did not look back and ask his creator, why the manipulative people, the scorn-filled people and the betrayers were around in this life.

As a result, he endured suffering to the point where no man could hold him back.  No woman could convince him that it was ok to continue on with an adulterous lifestyle.  No politician could convince him to deny the truth.  He knew his heavenly calling.  He knew his heavenly purpose.  The world didn't see it.  The world didn't know it.  Even his own people, the Israelites, didn't see and know him in their presence.  He loved mankind to the end.  As a result, home-life for motherhood and fatherhood could be restored.  Instead of a woman worried and fretting over the groceries for her children she knows her heavenly father can and does provide so long as she seeks sound wisdom in that regard.  Instead of a father worried that his sons will not amount to anything in this world, a man can teach his sons out of the scripture on how to keep up with his own character and endure the pains and trials of life without crumbling.  A father can teach his sons how to pray for healing and strength among the suffering in the community, because JESUS showed the way.

Jesus is the ultimate example.  He continues to show the TRUE ways to endure the suffering and bring about proper social justice and righteousness.  The more we KNOW him and his ways, the more likely we can be a success for social justice and righteousness!

Lori Alexandar's "working mother" ideas are mean spirited.....

https://thetransformedwife.com/working-mothers-raise-better-children/

Here is the link to the article.

In the article, she seems to imply that "working" for women is a bad thing.  Even working in a garden is a bad thing.  Even working at the place of employment where the husband works is a bad thing.  Humph.  Goodness.  Where did she start to tear out parts and pieces of the bible and start to cater to socialist filth?

What if a woman works a little odd job on the side.  Amish and Mennonite communities have managed their life like this for years.  Yes, occasionally they do stay home full-time, but when the children are old enough to manage their lives, they do have a tendency to approve of involving themselves in the community.

Basically, she is implying that ANY women who work in ANYTHING under the sun are "breaking God's rule book."  Um.  This isn't truth.  Its spiritually degrading to call every woman who is in ANY SORT of POSITION to be doing a "bad thing."

I went through a community of people of diverse backgrounds.  In many of the stores, there was a woman who was behind the desk, keeping up with the cash register.  The woman had a friendly smile and clean neat behavior. 

She may only work "part time."  I don't really know.  At least I know she wasn't super busy and stressed out with her employment.

Lydia of the bible sold -fabric.-  So she had some sort of employment.

The way she portrays the stay at home life, makes it look as if it is GOOD to be "mean" to others.  Ummm.  Since when.  THIS is UNGODLY type of behavior.

In general, yes, it is good for women to stay at home with the children and raise them herself.  It is NOT good for a women with high IQ and many degrees in this and that to have to constantly send her OWN children off to a nanny everyday, just because that woman wants to compete with men.  The children do suffer.  The men suffer too.  I get that.  Most women, who have some sort of ground in Christian thinking, understand this too.

BUT it is degrading to assume that every time a woman is working outside the home, she is letting everyone in the community suffer.  That is contrary to scripture truths.  What if a woman CAN become an volunteer EMT.  She would be a better example for the children, in showing that she CARES about people who are suffering in the community.  What if a woman CAN teach other children how to read.  She would be a better example for the children, in showing that she either volunteers or substitute teaches so other children can read.  The little ways that a woman shows she cares about others, mean more than just sitting at home and "pouting" about women who work, at least part-time in something.

From an indigenous perspective, a woman who didn't work, would see her community suffer.  She HAD to gather fruits, nuts and berries.  She HAD to make sure she found enough sticks and things to prepare a shelter.  A women who didn't work at something would see her tribe and community suffer.  Of course there was no "financial exchange" among indigenous community.  Just general approval of things the creator provided.

Why don't I follow the "Duggar Family" but agree with.....

some of the things that they do?

Answer:  Because, I don't really follow their style of Christian belief.  Yes, they follow a conservative based belief (verses one with more brotherly and sisterly love whenever possible), but their particular belief seems to be based solely on appearing before a "camera," rather than appearing before the Heavenly Judge.  I don't have anything against people who work in front of a Camera (like a person who reports the weather or does documentaries).

The time and energy they use in putting on makeup seems to be time "wasted" in my opinion. I think it is better use of time to learn about a different culture and language so that a person can actually appreciate people to different nationality and culture.  Doing so would make it EASIER to share the gospel with strangers.

I don't believe the family would be prepared to deal with an actual persecution if it came to the community.  Who knows, I could be wrong (like the recent Church shooting in Texas).  Furthermore, what impact are they going to make on other people's lives outside of their family, if they will not allow their children to develop talents outside of just appearing pretty in front of a camera?

Seriously.

I think it would almost be of more value in time and energy to keep up with pop-singers (even though they are a little odd sometimes) and see how they develop their "singing voice,"  or to keep up with writers and see how they develop their "writing skills," or to develop their "engineering skills" ....... xyz skill.

Basically, the life presented to the children is to "listen to mom and dad."  Its not based off of listening to the actual bible.  It is like a version of the "political gospel" which picks the verses they like and then ignores the rest.  Kinda like setting up the idea that women will ALWAYS stay at home (which there is nothing bad with staying home as a whole), but can never develop wisdom in learning to crochet a better stitch or go rock climbing for a day.

There is a big world out there to discover, and it isn't all obscene (yes, there is a lot of obscenity in front of the "big screen", but not everyone falls for it)

Yes, I support the idea of not choosing abortion.  Pregnancy and child bearing is hard enough.  I also support the idea of women encouraging her husband.  That should be a "no brainer," but we as humanity can't seem to figure out how to let stuff go.

BUT, I do not support their idea of allowing the "camera" and media to control the life of the family and to let that be THE ULTIMATE example of Christian home.  It isn't.  There are other people out there who are actually PRAYER warriors and investing much time into actual bible study (and other necessary studies to get the truth in the center of the heart) and applying to the good of society.

If anything, the PERSECUTED family that was forced into concentration camps and other things have been the ultimate example.  This particular family seems to "know" that persecution exists, but cover up the reality of what is actually happening to other Christians around the world as we speak so they may continue to have their names shown on camera, but don't actually admit the reality of human suffering.

Does IQ affect morality?

There are people out there who investigate the relationship between IQ and racial traits or conditions.  Some may say that Asians have high IQ or that Scandinavians also have higher IQ due to larger size in brain capacity.  However, the IQ test only looks at the skills in math, language and perhaps writing.  It will not evaluate other strengths like daily life skills, ability to be sensitive to changes, emotional factors, spirituality factors, survival skills and more.

Of course a higher IQ can assist in improving other areas for necessary survival, but does IQ relate to moral aptitude?

I can say this, no, it will NOT equate to moral aptitude.

A person with a high IQ, may posses a BETTER ability, and have the ability to dis-cipher folly in the extremist movements (can reason through the extremists), but it will NOT equal moral aptitude.  There have been wicked intelligent people in human history.  There have been cases where murder occurred well before the writing of books and use of written languages among indigenous cultures, so the indigenous culture recognized good vs. evil behavior without need for IQ test.

Can the IQ relate to an improvement in moral choices?

It is dependent upon whether a person is "bored" with the ability they have been given, and if they are squandering their talents, or if they are using their talent to improve the conditions for others.

An IQ test does not mean that a person has the ability to establish a stable relationship and family life.  There have been people with very average, to lower than average IQ's who are more socially stable and capable of establishing a quality home life in which to raise a family.

Essentially, when people had their languages "separated" at the tower of babel, the men, were left "confused" as to how to continue on with their life.  They could no longer "dicipher" each other's ability to reason and could not come up with a functional way to overcome this burden of communication.  Does this mean that God purposefully gave some people with certain languages, a more meaningful ability to communicate in an intelligent way?  I have to say, I don't know why some people are more intelligent in certain language groups, but that shouldn't mean that they are intelligent overall.  Rather it is the ability to sense the creator and how the creator cares for each person individually.

All in all, it is quite common for people with the ability to be a professional of some sort, to have higher IQ.  A Doctor, Lawyer, Professor, Large Company Manager and more, are more likely to have high IQ.  This doesn't mean that EVERYONE with high IQ needs to attain the career of "professional" and find the means to "make money."  Often people with degrees higher than a bachelor degree have the highest IQ among the general population.  The higher IQ professional is likely to fit into only 2% of the population!

In fact, it is probably likely that Jesus had a high IQ, considering that he could question the difficult people of his day with questions like, "He that is without sin, cast the first stone".  As a result, the people were left hanging in the balance realizing that they were NOT better than other people.  Did Jesus say to trust "professionals"  ?  No.  Did Jesus purposefully live a lavish life?  No.

So just having a high IQ does not equal moral strengths.  Just as the case for JESUS, who perhaps had a fairly high IQ, but yet humbled himself to that of a servant.  He knew the Leviticus law, I am sure.......so he would find strength in his own weakness........

There is much evidence that a person is in BONDAGE, even if they have high IQ.  Symptoms can include depression, addiction, sexual impurity, eating disorders and more.  So having an IQ doesn't free a person from sin problems in this world.

However, a person with high IQ is more likely to engage in finding a way to "escape bondage" and free themselves from their own condition.  As a result, they may look to biblical things (memorize biblical texts) or discover their own thinking patterns that are leading to the bondage.  Because of this, a person with higher IQ that has been influenced by biblical things and conditions is more likely to seek some sort of "freedom" from his or her condition.  The strongest people will actually apply biblical things to their life or to the lives of others (pray for another person's healing strength, pray for enemies, pray for peace and so forth).

The gift of having a "higher IQ" than the general population does not mean that a person should see their own nationality or heritage as "better" than others in different nationalities.  No, it doesn't work that way as most families these days actually look more racially diverse.  It wouldn't make sense for a family with "supper geniuses" to attack and make life difficult for the other family members that never attain such skill.  It is also apparent, that wicked people try to "redefine" things, especially biblical definitions, in order to justify their own wicked intentions.  Jesus himself had to confront SATAN with knowledge of the LAWS of the bible to keep evil out.  He had to know the definitions of what was truth and what was lies.

Knowledge of THE WORD keeps evils out of the individual with higher IQ.  It is apparent in their life choices.  The results are that an individual will attain professional skills, but will attain and prove their actual worth before the heavenly father by doing something with that knowledge.  Perhaps adopting a needy child or two or three.  Perhaps taking time away from wild-living.  Perhaps building a better shelter for the homeless man.  Perhaps becoming a person who defends the weak, fatherless, widow and the poor.  Perhaps saving lives in the ER.  So on and so forth.


PS.  Yes, I have family members who have professional degrees.  So I am assuming, they also have high IQ.  However, I am not sure on the faith beliefs.  Some are driven by their own "biology," and some are driven by their own ability to read truths and apply it to life, to overcome the burdens of humanity.  I have an IQ equivalent to that of a common professional in the upper 2% of the population, but I prefer a simpler life.

When is it wrong to give preference to LGBT rights???

Now there is nothing wrong with finding the bully and convicting him of doing wrong.  In fact, people like that need to be corrected, no matter what.  In areas where there are extreme beliefs, the people don't ever believe in a redeemer to correct those caught in sin.

However, some people are using the rights of "special people" to bully others.  Elderly man who murders someone is still a murderer, even though he is older than the general population.

This is not right.  Its not biblical based way of dealing with righteousness and justice.

Brotherly and sisterly love is normal development in Christian beliefs.  Sexual impurity is not something that develops from those who base their beliefs on the bible and are convicted of their sin-nature.  Sin-nature happens to everyone in someway or another.

So when is it WRONG to give preference to LGBT rights and the people who cater to such?

1. When ever there are extreme "obscenity teachings" towards the youth.  When ever the people are showing "rated x" things in public areas.

2. When ever those underage are forced to do things against their nature.

3. When a child raised by those in such relationships is not given proper psychological healing.

4. When ever a person acts out on the internet in an obscene way.

5. When ever a person is a "sex trafficker" or other type of abuse for selfish gain.

6. When gossipers and supporters of LGBT rights are given preference, to the people who were once abused by those in the LGBT community or by others.

7. When there is infidelity involved.

8. In regards to family matters where a person is molested by a relative.

9. Assuming that the people who are in LGBT issues will stay that way.  No, even the rapist can come to terms with his sin problems.

10. When a bakery or other business is "shut down" because people didn't want to involve themselves in a certain type of marriage and/or ceremony.  Being a trickster with words, to "lock" people into commitments against their moral value.

11. When people who don't support certain things like a wedding/party/ceremony are convicted of having "homophobia" and are let go from places of employment.

12. When one spouse engages in "obscene behavior" and demands financial payment for everything the corrupted spouse does.  Financial abuse is involved.


The list goes on.  Basically, the emphasis is that caring for the needs of "selfish glory" is given preference to that of the concerns of others.


*****

Here is an example of some of the results of catering to Obscenity culture:

I'm not sharing this to "laugh" at what she is doing....but to bring to light the possibility that this is what pedophilia and teaching children to live "obscene lives" (biblical lawless) could do to humanity.
Women who are not "child like" but rather imitators of "senseless folly".....
Normal women grown women will appreciate hearing a grown man sing in Opera tone of voice.
(I have worked in health care for about 7 years....so I have seen some different kinds of behavior)

St. Patricks day, ancient Holiday and Nature patterns.

The order of ancient holidays that never really changes (even if people believe differently from each other).

1. St. Patricks day
2. Spring Equinox
3. Passover/Resurrection/Easter
4 .50 days after Passover = Pentecost / Shavuot

Differing beliefs = some people believe Holy Spirit given at Mt. Zion not at Upper Room, depending upon how a person reads the bible. Astronomy conditions don't change however, even given axial procession since AD 31.


The possibility for a miraculous Solar Eclipse could have occurred in AD 31 after the spring equinox.

Luk_23:44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.


They say that the three leaf clover represents the trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

Other things in nature could mean this too: Four chambers of the heart = Four Gospels, One side of lungs is larger than the other side of the lungs = 4 commandments for worship towards God and 6 commandments for relationship with Man., The Kidneys "clean" the body of impurities = Christ cleans us from sin.

What to do with the information????

Brotherly and Sisterly love fixes "bully problems" (read the book of Leviticus. Try KJV to see the big picture)

Noticing reverse racism???

So from what I understand, the disciples of the bible were humiliated and tormented THROUGHOUT the middle east....... I don't have the time to find to find all the "data" about what countries those happened to be, but it would be anything from Ethiopia to Rome and everything in-between.  Often religious topics and secular topics (ignore the outside cultures and spirituality).

Anyhow, as one can see, African american males are perceived as the underdog in general culture and secular education, while ignoring OTHER minorities in these commercials.  Why didn't they use a person from "asia"????  As a result and attempt to fix the persecuted group, secular culture attempts to "pump up" men of one group and by painting a "gayness feature" (when brotherly love is NORMAL Christian feature: Joh_11:5  Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.)......"pump down" another group, but ignores the reality of CHARACTER as a GOOD THING for ALL of man kind.:



I don't watch much "tv"..... I just pick up on Youtube trends and things of that sort.  Even the YouTube commercials are filled with "lies"  (promoting fake phrama drugs that people don't really need etc.).

Many of the people from middle east have variety of skin-tones by the way........so people are "forced" to get along........with....their family members.

Crazy diversity.....while ESCAPING diversity....concerned about image.....than REALITY.  Old video, has some foul language, but reveals reality.:

When is it "islamophobia," and when is it being "cautionary"?

Read the article: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2017/02/02/ben-shapiro-crushes-clock-boy-in-court-n2280520

Now ANYONE from the "Levant" could have an "Islamophobia" charge and/or accusation of causing "distress" on the rest of humanity.


Perhaps because family members can have a tendency to look like this guy:


Now this guy would look like Jesus....but if Jesus does BAD things.....its starts to make people wonder whom they can trust in the middle of the storm called......life?

Even many Native Americans have trouble "trusting" certain Christian groups (though they have attacked churches or faith groups in the past), because they do not want to be associated with certain behaviours (one could call it the Abrahamic religion phobic): rapes, incest, pedophillia, molestations by priests, certain calendar structures and time-lines etc etc.

So I have a list of when a person is right about potential threats and when they are wrong and pointing fingers at people who are simply from the "levant" or surrounding areas and know the difference between right and wrong.

Note, in the article given above "clock boy" looks VERY VERY brown.  There are JEWISH people who are also VERY VERY brown.

There ARE very smart partly brown people, from other areas of the middle east, who would "not" get the caution thing thrown at them, simply because of their family "history" or "social" conditions.  They have just as equal capability of building "bombs" or being "lazy" when it comes to actually taking care of humanity properly.  People who were never influenced by "islamic things" have had capability of doing evil things too.  For example: a Norwegian guy broke up with his wife, he got in an airplane and flew around......he committed an act of suicide terror on the place where some people worked, perhaps his wife worked there.  Furthermore, Jesus himself said there would be MANY FALSE PROPHETS (including those who talk about JESUS a lot).

Essentially, what happens is a person is negligent of their own "moral condition" before the creator on BOTH sides of the fence.

Here are some things where it is WRONG to call someone "Islamophobic."
-when a person shares gospel with those who practice "Islam."  Or sings hymns.  Or shares what they believe with them in a gentle and practical way.
-promoting brotherly and sisterly love among them or others
-being internet friends (the internet doesn't bite you or create "sex traffickers,"  it is ONLY when a person is using the internet in an evil way that these things happen.....it is neutral like driving a car).  A person does NOT need to agree with things that internet friends tell you or post.
-Wearing a headscarf.  Women who are not "islamic" can wear a headscarf if she believes in it for religious purposes (Christianity was actually an influence in the reason behind the headscarf for muslims anyhow).
-Not eating certain foods (like pork).   Not eating anything "offered to Idols" or Halal meats.
-Fasting off and on
-Wearing a beard
-being more religious than the general population (like not attending big patriotic things)
-Practicing "polygyny" or other things that are not practiced among common Christian couples.  There have been Christians who practice "polygyny."
-speaking about the evils (or having cautionary behaviors) of any of the following, and associating it with people who are practicing the "muslim religion": -rape gangs, -incest, -FGM, -pedophillia, -terrorism, -child marriage, -anger and domestic violence issues, -extreme religious dogma (whippings, malnutrition from fasting, child mutilations, long travels for no reason etc)
-wanting to check a person's "character" before immigration.  Even hospitals and other institutions have to send "violent" patients to different places to get care.
-addressing general character issues that the majority of humanity deals with (pride, mockery, scorning, anger, disrespect etc)
-addressing anti-semetism (particularly dislike of Jewish people and/or Israel)
-listening/talking to a family member talk/listen about his or her middle eastern family member and how they were treated
-Addressing the fact that Muhammed was not sinless but Jesus was sinless.  Addressing the fact that JESUS was born of a Virgin and lived among the Jewish people.  Then died and rose again.
-Addressing the facts that some people, in the religion group, want "infidels" dead......(they have been brainwashed in some ways)
-Talking about issues where people of minority or people who left the religious system suffered persecutions or even death.
-Addressing historical wars where the majority of the offenders were those who practiced a certain religious value (like the muslim religion value, in some cases there have been Christians who were not true to the bible...).

It is wrong to call someone "Islamophobic" for any of these types of things.

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

This is where it IS islamophobic and direct insult to people who are "middle eastern" or associated with folks who perhaps come from the LEVANT

-avoiding interaction/contact with someone because they have "brown skin," longer nose or levant/middle eastern appearance
-making fun of people who fast, pray, avoid certain foods (basic neutral religious practices)
-belittling a close relationship between a "white person"(or other nationality) and a "middle eastern person"
-making fun of a man having multiple wives (yes, white people attack other minority tribes and ended up murdering the wives)
-making fun of larger family size
-not having or treating someone normally because of middle eastern sounding name
-making fun of women who "stay home"
-making fun of women who "dress modest" or "wear headscarf"
-belittling someone who follows a lunar type of calendar.
-avoiding interaction/contact with someone because they are friends with someone who has "brown skin," longer nose or levant/middle eastern appearance
-making fun of a middle eastern man who chose to try a different religion and even became a leader in that group......like a Christian church.....or finding his Jewish roots and becoming Jewish.
-saying #metoo or he's a rapist for having a family history (before they were born) or former association (many years ago) with people who attacked his or her family, assuming this person comes from middle east, when he is clearly NOT doing those things and has no desire to commit those acts.
-Attacking someone who looks like they practice a middle east religion (even having very long beard).

Anyhow, look at it like this:

A person who "steals" and practices a religion is not doing something right in the eyes of the creator.  It does not mean that EVERYONE in that faith or from that nationality does those things, it is that, the individual is having some "moral issues"

Here is a pretty nice article: https://www.christianpost.com/news/nabeel-qureshis-wife-shares-3-things-husband-wouldve-said-to-christians-from-muslim-backgrounds-221388/

This guy seems to understand that all things "political" and "non factual" do not resolve issues in humanity.  Note: Sweeds and Norwegians have a history of not getting along.......but only way to fix that is through redemption. (has some foul words, but reveals that white-guilt over logic does HARM to humanity):
