Promote more Christian topic and conversation: workplace

Is there a way to promote more Christian topic and conversation among employees?

Specifically for those who are employers or start up a business.


What about important careers and employment dealing with vulnerable individuals in the community?  Children and vulnerable adults (disabled, elderly).  For example: Healthcare and Education

Perhaps there could be a "mandatory informational meeting" for all employees.  Perhaps it could take place once a month to inform and update employees on policies, practices and methods of service in the place of employment.  It would include BOTH secular statistical needs as well as biblical values driven goals.

Within the meeting have a "bible quiz" and suggested bible reading for all employees.  They do not need to be of the "same faith" but encourage like-minded belief.  Encouraging employees to engage in "Faith based" and "Bible based" themes can cause employees to search the scriptures themselves.

Unfortunately, many places of employment are claiming a Christian belief.....but they are not promoting it among the employees.  As a result, prayers aren't said regularly by employees at meetings and in places of gathering.  Disrespect towards God's word is driven by the values among the employees and so forth.  This shouldn't be happening among any who proclaim some form of bible based beliefs in their place of employment, especially when dealing with vulnerable people and individuals in the community.

Please DO look into these things before placing "vulnerable person" in said location.  School or other social service (healthcare for example).  See that they ACTUALLY promote biblical thinking among employees, or if it is just come all and promote any belief.

Any sort of meeting with "bible based values" can be driven for any said business..... coffee shop, craft store etc.

Are Messianic believers (hebrew roots also) the same as Evangelical Christians?

Yes and no.

Yes

-They believe in being born again
-They believe in the New Testament
-They believe in power of the Holy Spirit to change hearts
-Evangelical leaders can and do support Israel or general Jewish people.
-Believe in creation story and young earth (nature of animals cannot be changed by man)
-They may and do evangelize
-They practice repentance and full water baptism (note: some do not over emphasize these things depending on the group)
-Bible study is important
-Approve of "Levant Christians" (First century believers from gentile ancestry)
-they do not approve of Sodom and Gomorrah lifestyles (in evangelical circles this can be dependent on belief factors and extreme interpretations vs. repentance and turning from sin)

No

-They have higher interest in stopping anti-semitism or even extreme violence towards any sort of middle east (surrounding ancestry) people and culture traditions.
-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT4XFk8CLiM
-They understand that a marriage that isn't based on the same values (particularly scripture values) will not work well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvCSX2xEasw (Josh Harris is strictly evangelical).  Do not be unequally yoked.
-Some may say different things about "marriage conditions" (ie virgins who were raped can still follow scripture, people who practice or practiced polygyny can still follow scripture, king David's sin is only what is described in bible etc.)
-Deeper study of first five books of bible and its historical accuracy and actual archaeological conditions.  The interpretation of the bible is different.  Puriim (not in any interest in evangelical circles, is an interest in Messianic circles)
-Messianic tries to complete detach from Catholicism origins (or even orthodox) and focus more on Hebrew culture.
-Messianic is concerned with immodesty and encourage women to dress accordingly.  Headscarf wearing is not a "bad thing" but rather neutral to encouraged.
-Submissiveness is encouraged but women can speak up in groups.
-Approve of Jewish people who turn to Yeshua as Messiah.
-There are evangelical Christians who are extreme left-leaning....meaning they attempt to cater to the left-leaning nature of the culture instead of the actual biblical interpretation aka. "gay marriage" or other issues at hand (immigration, political features etc.).  Messianic often take the topic of Sodom and Gomorrah literally, just as the bible says it and how Jesus himself described it.  The focal point being that all forms of sexual impurity need to be restored by Jesus (Yeshua) himself.
-Messianic believers do not approve of most political goals, while evangelicals can have a tendency to put emphasis on "voting the bad guy out."  Political goals are not historically accurate and do not adhere to general truths.
-Messianic's look for "God signs" more readily to prove their faith is adequate and fruitful.

Messianic and Evangelical CAN and DO get along in certain aspects, but the fullness of faith can be different.

The Seventh Day Adventists are another type of "sabbath day" group.  They are neither evangelical nor messianic, but believers do need to be "born again" and even "non-resistant" as needed.  Some say they have "cult like features" because the founder was a woman, or it seems similar to the Jehovah's witnesses.  But in reality, people are trying to overcome the issues she (the church itself) addressed by catering to their own sin issues at hand (aka. promotion of hating the poor instead of addressing their true needs).  They have basic instinctive "independent baptist" features (which makes them similar to evangelical) but they address issues from a close observational "messianic interpretation" particularly of observing the "seventh day."  Main-stream churches could learn from their teachings to overcome prejudices towards them or basic conservative biblical interpretations.

Look up various ministries on youtube.......and compare.....

Jewish people and close family members by heritage may be in either evangelical and/or messianic groups.  It would depend upon upbringing and internal beliefs.

Should Christians support "gay marriage" like Jews who don't follow New Testament?

First, watch this video.



Second, watch this video.


Third, read these bible verses:
Joh_11:5  Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.


Mar_10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.


Basically, the bible is pointing out the FACT that Jesus was sinless and could LOVE others (male and female) WITHOUT engaging in sexual activity!

In Mark 10:21 he is speaking with a "practical stranger"......so he could show love to a stranger without engaging in any form of sexual activity!  Love is saying yes to Jesus......and no to SIN!

So because Jesus IS Jewish......The people in Israel are mostly more than likely Jewish and Charlie Puth is also Jewish and yet there is something like same sex love and affection "around"....in the social atmosphere.....  should CHRISTIANS (those who practice and follow New Testament principles) cater to same sex marriage?

The answer is basic.  No......BUT they should be aware that JESUS himself practiced same sex love.......but without sinning.  It is similar to being around people who "smoke" but choosing not to smoke.  You don't give the addicted person something to cater to their "sin" / "addiction."  Even those who have been abused in their life need to know someone cares.  The unfortunate thing is that many many many churches which are institutional in nature get confused on this issue simply because they "pay" their pastor.....but the pastor himself (or even herself) has to appease the crowds to get an income.  So they are not appealing to the biblical standards but rather the fleshly standards, via money.

A basic example is simply this.  Yes, we love a friend or relative that has an addiction problem (even infidelity or sex addiction), but we would like to encourage them to CHOOSE JESUS in order to overcome sin.  Perhaps there is a friend that has cancer and we love them, but don't know how to help them in their state of being.  Jesus teaches us how to care.

Would JESUS support "group marriage" if he couldn't practice "gay marriage" due to sin issues?  The answer there is the SAME......Choose JESUS over the life of sin we all face on a regular basis.  The patriarchs of the bible practiced much polygyny and even King David had his day with love this way or that way.  They still had to deal with sin issues.

The unfortunate thing is that we live in this world, but are not of it.  Avoiding all human affection actually goes against the grain of human need for love......even secular concept surrounds us on a regular basis:


Showing signs of caring by study of the scripture and living out the bible is a way to lift another person's burdens.  But CATERING to sin doesn't truly fix this world that we live within.......it just won't truly work.  It is the same as saying NO to a criminal who would rape or even practice sex trafficking.  It doesn't make sense in GOD'S eyes to cater to any man's sin issues under the sun.  If the state itself is saying YES to sin-based-marriages or conditions (that which against scripture) and not separating church and state appropriately, then we who believe will need to follow the path of righteousness despite the errors of men.  A mere certificate is no match for being with him in eternity.

Rather, the hope is to show people that certain patterns in behavior are not contributing to the benefit of "love" for others....but towards selfish ambitions of this world.  Only JESUS would have the ability to overcome sin, to get humanity to heaven......(read the psalms and proverbs carefully and note the behavior patterns).

The unfortunate thing that people mistake is that "gay marriage" will be the solution to problems in humanity????  But people who lie, cheat, steal etc. can be and practice gay marriage just like anyone else.  So ONLY JESUS was sinless.

If you are human you probably love others without sexual activity???  Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins (male and female), basic close friends who are not married to you....... even those who never get married.....on this earth.  Take time out to reflect on the aspects of NATURE itself.  Birds, Fish, and other animals.......teachers that know that sin ruins their innermost being.  Jesus himself referenced the LOVE the heavenly father had for even the Lilly in the ditch.

The bride and the bridegroom......aspect comes from the heavenly father's will..... (song of solomon descriptions)




The purpose behind his love is to show people the way to live and how to get to heaven.  The simple principle of John 3:16.  There is NO GREATER LOVE than that.  John the Baptist didn't cater to a divorce and remarriage....so we who are followers of "the lamb" would be on the same playing field in this world, even if it causes division in family life or even costs us our life.

Thoughts on 4th of July from an "original American"....

I have "original American" heritage.  Sure, I am mostly Norwegian by heritage.  But my mother's side of the family (which is rather large even to the 2nd cousin range.....considering large family size back in the day), has British Isles (Irish/English/Scottish) heritage as well as some Indigenous Native American heritage.  Sure I look like all the rest of the "white people".....but that doesn't mean that I put down the "white side" of me all for the sake of the tragic incidents of the minorities in the USA.


I even hear stories about how the Irish built the railroads and were treated harshly.  Ok.  So that puts a lot of my Irish side under pressure to conform to the "money" as it is.

In reality, I believe we will ALWAYS need religious freedom with a touch of religious respect.  I don't care how may times "man" comes up with a new plan on how to get through this life......sin will ALWAYS find a way to ruin men from within....and then could very well lead to death.




Character is an absolute essential element.  Pride vs. Humility.  Foolishness vs. Wisdom.  We need to take the time to reflect on ways to glorify and reverence our creator......day in and day out.... no matter our heritage or background.

The forth of July should be more about freedom to sense that dignity and value come from the -sermon on the Mt- instead of dictatorial empires that control our ability to have freedom from within.




Yes, America is NOT the kingdom of the LORD.....but we have ACCESS to the kingdom and its rules and orders.  Nature is with us (indigenous people......we and still are a part of American fabric) to find a redeemer to worship and praise.

We can find hope and strength with the access to APPROPRIATE FREEDOM OF SPEECH....

Last Days Mockers.....test the people before trusting....

These questions are based on the "book of Jude"...... sure it looks like these questions are somewhat silly or even extreme in testing someone's tone towards others........but in reality it is showing us that "man" (and even ourselves) cannot be fully trusted, but JESUS alone can and should be trusted....

Mark Yes/No......rate on a scale 1-10 as you would like.  Test for your self and for other person.  Perhaps this could be used in a situation where a couple would like to get married and need to check values?  Perhaps this could be used in a situation where a person is in a persecution area where "conservative Christian ideals" are rejected?  Maybe a church needs an "elder" and they need to know if the person is fit for the job.  Maybe a person needs to determine if they are fully in Christ or not?  Maybe you would like to be a member or participant in a church group....and you need to determine if the members are "godly elders" in the church (go around and ask various 40+ year old males to answer these questions)?

These questions are based upon the book of Jude.  These 40+ questions could CHANGE the function of a church in a major direction.

Essentials vs. Non-Essentials of Christian Faith

Don't create divisions in the "church body" over non-essentials

Many of these divisions occur because of LAWLESSNESS in the hearts of men!  That means that the first five books of the bible are ignored or mixed up with the "philosophies" of vain men.


-Choose life vs. Pregnancy problems or surrogacy......  People in all sorts of pregnancy situations who are believers would not promote "abortion of a beating heart" for any reason.  Doing so is murder.  However, the woman with a "pregnancy problem" has full rights and access to her body and the conditions of bearing that child in the womb.  The problem pregnancy conditions should not come between believers.  Some women have barren wombs.  Marriages and sexuality situations that force unnatural womb environments (via birth control pills) could be catering to conditions like abortions.

-Use of public school vs. other educational choices
Children need to be educated.  They should be educated in the scripture first and foremost.  However, there are "modern day issues" at play and safety measures the children need to learn.  So long as the children are taught from the scripture at home, then schooling can come from any method.  Children "catch" more than they are continuously taught from a text book of any sort.
The educational resource should: have no foreign religions (aka a missionary should not need to send their child to an islamic indoctrination public school), parents teach children to recognize the false secular holidays (aka Christmas with Santa or Halloween), for temporary elementary social skills, no sexuality teaching or expressions, admit crimes it committed against certain minority groups and people (teachers with pedophilia or rape,  extensive abuse conditions etc).  A parent that needed to use a public school for temporary reasons isn't less of a person, especially if the state in which they dwell or are enrolled required certain types of education.
Typically children can learn from home before age 10 and only need up to an 8th grade education for basic study and safety skills in latin languages.  However, spirituality is a "life long" education in wisdom.

-Home birth vs. Hospital and other maternity issues
So long as the hospital is protecting family rights (no vaccinations, no epidurals etc).  Whether a woman had an all natural birth or c-section. Whether the child was born via surrogacy or had open heart surgery in the womb.  Whether the mother used an ultra sound to check for abnormalities or not.  Whether the mother checked the potential for down-syndrome test or not (though certain tests lead to abortions, so conditional matters may play a role).  The disability condition of the mother or complete physical fitness.

-Vaccination vs. no-vaccination
Sure we see the signs everywhere that a "flu vaccine" has no benefit for humanity or for children on that matter.  However, we CANNOT choose for our neighbor (whom we are to love) and we CANNOT choose for a spouse or family member (whom we are to submit) on these issues.  A vaccination is temporary and "of this world."  It is a modern day invention and the fruits of it show up scientifically.  Basically, should we stop loving people because of "pharmacy drugs".....even if they are a scam and not truly necessary?

-Organic vs. inorganic
So long as no human or animal rights are violated, this shouldn't be an issue.  However, when a person chooses a vegetarian or pork-free diet or any sort of diet that eliminates the worship of idolatry that person should be respected.

-Gluttony vs. Fasting
Some people fast.  Some people make big feasts and invite many guests.  Some have banquets at churches to feed the community.  The issues with "food intake" have more to do with attitude towards those who either fast or go to a feast.  The LORD should be the continual feast and look forward to the feast in heaven, not focus on the things of this world.

-Marriage relationships that are successful with one-man and one-woman vs. other issues.
What if a person practices open marriage and is confident that the spouse was ok with that?  What if a couple are married but one had previous partners, lust issues and infidelity?  What if a man has multiple wives and they practice polygny?  What if a person was in a "young marriage" but then found it to be extremely abusive so she divorced and remarried in the Lord?  What if a woman was raped and/or molested before the age of accountability, does this mean she can't have a godly marriage?  What if a couple is one-man and one-woman relationship, but they had relations before marriage alter....then later came to Christ and confessed these issues? What about the conditions in our human history of "cousin marriage" or a convert to Christianity who is already in a "cousin marriage"? What if a couple chose not to use a marriage ceremony with lots of people or even just did their own thing without marriage certificate?  These issues should not be a problem if people are aware that CHRIST alone is the bridegroom and the church body is the bride.

-Age of marriage vs. headscarf on a woman
The age gap in a marriage shouldn't matter once the youngest is a fully grown adult (aka 20 years old).  A young marriage is possible IF the oldest in the marriage is financially and morally responsible (ie. a 16 year old married to a 21 year old).  A headscarf on a woman can indicate that she esteems the scripture, but one must ask questions about how she interprets the bible.  The woman in the marriage should feel confident in her decisions to marry based on convictions given in scripture.  A headscarf can be a benefit to check for moral standards in the man.

-First five books of the bible vs. torah standards
The confidence in what is written in the first five books of the bible (the law) should be the focus in Christian faith.  If not, then belief in "false doctrine" is sure to exist.  The "age of the earth" is not actually listed in the bible, but OTHER elements of essential parts of the faith are listed.  The belief of a world-wide flood can have major impact on the internal definitions of wickedness vs. faith.  Basically the faith group at hand SHOULD consider the bible to be truth.  Torah standards of living can hold water as a whole and people can practice these things as Christians (aka no pork, Sabbath, feast days etc), but it is more important to BELIEVE the first five books and how Jesus fulfilled the law.

-Jewish and Gentile conditions
A faith group that speaks reproachfully and negatively on a "race" or "ethnicity" is a church group that doesn't esteem the "whole bible" (including the law).  A faith group that caters to the Jewish people as a whole and says they have never "sinned" or "do bad things" (aka promote abortions, rape, character issues etc) is a church group that doesn't esteem the Jewish people and their full redemption.  Character of CHRIST should be promoted in Jewish and Gentile believers.  Check out ask Dr. Brown on Jewish-Gentile relationships for believers or purposefully talk with a Jewish person yourself.  Extreme anti-semitism is NOT of God and people who have practiced it over the centuries have NOT considered the fullness of the scripture (aka the talmudic teachings are not always geared towards hate of God's word, but some beneficial elements are found in the Jewish religions AND Jewish people have been in Christian circles for many years).  Jewish people come in all shapes sizes ethnicity appearances beliefs and backgrounds.

-Women working outside the home vs. stay at home wife/mother
A woman who is not focused on careers "of this world" should not be obligated to "keep up" with the standards of this world.  There are intellectually gifted women who can use their gifts to benefit the good of humanity.  There are things that appear ok in the world's eyes, but the women would do better as a woman to stay at home with her children and become appealing to her husband. If the scripture is not used in the home regularly, then worldly ideas can brew one way or another.  It is better to be inline with the scripture as a woman, than to go completely against it all for the sake of money and careers "of this world."  A little odd-job here and there or even a small business will not destroy a home, but a major career that takes away from time in the home certainly could do so.

-Health insurance vs. govt' benefits
If a church group isn't around that supports various healthcare needs from a financial stand-point, then it is likely that someone in that group might not get their needs met without such benefits.  Should we stop caring about the person with cancer?  Some people don't use much healthcare services so they avoid the benefits from health insurance.  Should we stop caring about the person who is healthy?  Health care coverage should occur and it is of use if a church group helps people financially, but it is a non-essential if a person rightfully chooses not to use the "professional service" or "insurance coverage."  Some people go by faith and believe in "faith healing" within a certain amount of conditions and elements of this life.  Children or vulnerable adults may need benefits from the state and it is available never-the-less.

-Sabbath day (or feast days) vs. Sunday (and secular holidays)
There are godly teachings from Sabbath day churches.  There are godly teachings from Sunday churches.  No one should judge a person if that person attends and practices "sabbath days."  The Sabbath day is for man......not man for the Sabbath.  Same with a good godly teaching on the bible even positioned on a "secular holiday" or celebration.  Overcome evil with good in our secular world.

-Virginity at marriage vs. other issues and practices before faith
Some people are disabled and had no option but to be put under the care of a misinformed or wicked healthcare worker.  Some people created their own environment which led to their lack of virginity but Jesus says "sin no more."  Some people are were not trained to control their lusts and passions, but then later came to the knowledge of the cross.  Some people carry the burden of other men's sins before the full age of accountability (age 20).  Some people who have burned with lust ended up married before they understood the issues at hand.  Virginity at the marriage alter isn't always the benefit for all involved and doesn't actually allow for full salvation.  Rather it is SELF-CONTROL (so that values of the potential marriage partner can be checked) and seeking the one who values humanity the most.  Each person's situation about how they "lost their virginity" can differ from person to person and from generation to generation.  There are godly bible based support groups in our nation that help people caught up in sexual sins (from trafficking to infidelity etc).

-Keeping up with the traditions of parents vs. following the redeemer alone
Some people are born into a family that had various traditions that benefited the biblical teachings.  Some people grow up and grow away from the teachings from their parents or go through certain things.  We as humanity are not to "worship our parents" or "fathers before us".....but rather we are to expose the wicked things of darkness (even if they are in our generations) and focus on the cross.  For some, that means limited interactions with parents, for others it means improved interactions with parents.  This can also include other family members as well.

-Political ties vs actual truth and needs in humanity
Some people put more emphasis on a political candidate than on the cross......some people see more benefit in mocking the sinner than in finding a way to redeem the sinner.  Political ties and affiliations are no match for the benefits that come from the kingdom.  Speak and use this world wisely.  Use God's word to fix this world.

-Baptisms or symbolic things from church group
Some people are godly and they never had a full water baptism.  Their fruits show us who they are inside.  Some people are godly and they had a full water baptism.  Their fruits show us who they are inside.
Some people light candles on a Sabbath day and their fruits show us who they are inside.
Some people light candles at a Christmas potluck dinner for the homeless and their fruits show us who they are inside.
All in all, the symbolic things are temporary and inanimate objects are no match for the TRUE REDEMPTION that comes from above.  John 3:16 applies to ALLL the world (even to the secular man who confesses Christ right before car-accident).  Parables and action mean more than religious inanimate symbols.

-Education levels and status
The bible is written at a 5th to 8th grade level....some would even say up to 12th grade level.  But in reality, the stories are for ALL people of ALL ages and stages.  "Search the scriptures" is more valuable than search through a library and find information to get a degree in astrophysics from an Ivy League in China....after all....how does knowing these things from deep within our universe benefit our creator?  In the long run, knowing that God created the heavens and earth and all the people and situations we are faced with, is more valuable in the long run.  So look at this universe as if HE plans on seeing you in his eternal kingdom after you are done breathing while on this earth.......degree or no degree.  Intellectual gifted men and not intellectually gifted men know how to read scripture and share gospel.

-Holy Kiss and brotherly love....
Some churches have caved into the notion that a life of "sexual perversion" is the solution to the issues of same sex love and conditions.  The reality.....all men are created equal.....but the equality ends when the sexuality goes haywire.  A church that practices the "holy kiss" and a companionship of men.....is a church filled with "brotherly love"......without love....who would show the world whom Christ happens to be in the hearts of men.

So I listed many non-essentials.......

******

These can and should be essentials and absolutely necessary for the christian faith:

Issues regarding "crimes"....rape, murder, treatment of children and widows.....
Born again conditions (yes, that means that some need to chose different faith groups)
Professing him before men
Psalms and Proverbs topics
Fruits of the Spirit
Non-resistance
Modesty Standards along with relationship and sexuality issues.
Sermon on the Mt. Standards
Overcoming evil with good
Not giving over to the devil
Not catering to "idolatrous religions" or terrorism conditions
Racism issues
Pastoring issues where the pastor makes much income while the congregation suffers......

and so forth

We all walk by faith and not by sight.....don't let a little issues that don't benefit "the kingdom on earth" destroy the foundations of faith

Watch this video to "see" how some of the non-essentials vs. essentials in a Messianic belief apply even under the veil of "Talmudic" conditions.  The lord truly looks at the HEART.

Why should Christians be "Christian" and not particularly political?

1. Some people in political parties have "no experience" in something.

2. Some people in political parties have not looked into seeing things from another perspective.

3. Some people in political parties have never "searched the scriptures."

4. Some people in political parties have internal hatred towards another for no reason.

5. Only GOD is the one who has the final say in how to judge people in their behaviours and actions in their life.

6. Some people in political parties claim to care about a particular "christian ideal" but really they want political "brownie points" so they are actually interested in their own interests and allowing the "sin to continue."

7. People in one particular heritage or culture background can have a variety of ways to interpret and deal with "sin issues."

8. "Brotherly love" can be interpreted differently among different faith groups.

9. Women and Men roles may differ slightly by culture and language, but biological terms remain the same.....even in flawed conditions of biology.  In other words, humanity tries to make something political that is already biologically ingrained.

10. Not everyone who has the same economic status (poor vs. rich) agrees on the same political realm.

I may listen to "racism," "culture issues", or "environmental issues" from a left-leaning side of things, because they believe in "education" to help people overcome errors in judgment of others or the natural world in which we live.  We are all related to someone who is "different" than ourselves.

I may listen to "relationship," "faith supporting issues" or "free speech" from a right-leaning side of things, because they believe that personal faith requires a set of ideals and most likely the "bible" is what interprets faith for Christians.

Overall, study of the scripture and rightly dividing the truth leads men and women in the right direction.  Putting full trust in the "Armour designed by men" will be flawed in more ways than one.

Andrew Klavan is well educated....and started out "liberal" but turns towards "conservative" beliefs....

Once there was a country.....

Once there was a country

The rulers of that country allowed:
-slavery
-racism
-removal of indigenous persons (meaning the people who were on the land for over 1000 years)
-pedophillia (so long as the young person was a slave)
-attacking anyone who disagreed with the establishment
-young marriages (age 13 and above could get married)
-corruptions in character (an angry man could rule the city)
-neglect of disabled people (those children not wanted in families but left out in the cold)
-child labor (not just helping in grandma's garden for a day, but intense factory labor)
-burning people at the stake who refused the religious establishment
-Women not allowed to vote or speak up in times of need
-Women required to wear extreme modest clothing even in times of heat
-Men could have multiple wives.
-Men often wore beards and worked long hours (not that this would create problems.....but the reality of "masculinity" seems to invoke some sort of moral problem in some people)

(Does this sound like a safe country?)

Answer: this is the founding of the USA as the "voting block" of the nation.  Yes, it sounds much like a second world nation.  Were the people who founded the country perfect in character?  No.

The only way to know if the character of a man is free from sins and problems is to test the man......or woman.


*******

Are we "different" from the founders of this nation?  Yes.  Studies have been performed.  Stats reveal things.  Rules have been changed (no more child labor in intense heat for example).

Are we "better" from the founders of this nation?  Yes and No.  Pride is a sin.  Many think that that is now a "normal" thing to practice, but it actually leads men to hell. (never mind the tribal ideas about that issue or just protecting an average human life from problems).  The bible simply says "flee fornication" and "turn from sin" sorts of things (God is same yesterday, today and forever).  Slavery to sin is a thing men want today instead of freedom from it.  Even wise indigenous people of this nation recognize the problems of sin in life.

Ending life of an unborn child isn't "choice".....its murder and not "choosing life".....as a whole.

Thank-you pro-choicers of this world.

Thank-you pro-choicers of our world (the exception for the life of the mother in a natural failed pregnancy).

You have contributed to the hatred of one's own grandmother, ones own aunt (she had a few female children), one's own full blood sister (she was in your mother's womb too??), the mother of your father, the perpetual dismembering of the disabled child who could have been a good friend after your break up with the "latest boy friend." Mothering is seen as an evil force instead a reality to the human condition.......and of course disrespect towards one's own mother (yes even she and other females in the family know about your relationships that are failing)

There is only ONE hope.....JESUS (with law stuff as a part of the plan too....since adam and eve fell).

I don't understand the world-view of a pro-choicer.....its like the goodness in one's life (family and all.....) should just be eliminated and choose the evils of this world instead??? I'm confused.

Hollywood and all the celeb-look-alikes exist....but it really ISN'T about this world and whether a child looks like a future celeb....it is about the FUTURE KINGDOM where HE rules in our HEARTS. Pro-life vs. Pro-choice is a political agenda. It has no fruit....except for this world. Pro-life is about choosing his life to replace our fallen nature. That is simply all.....so that we can bring HIS KINGDOM to this earth.

Racial differences? Well we wouldn't know that people don't always "look like ourselves" unless we are born to see the different smiles and skin tones......height differences besides....

Essentially......thank-you prochoicers for telling us your true side.....so we know how to id who you really are on the inside.

Note: This blog post is speaking on behalf of the EXTREME disrespect and blatent lies extreme pro-choice women tell each other in their "street protests" (as seen on video in youtube and elsewhere)...... every angry work and every angry word will be judged by the creator and redeemer.......whom do they trust? The merciful and compassionate or the self-interested who see humans as "Blobs of tissue"....including important family members? Midwifery has been here and there for thousands of years.

Solution: Sermon on the Mt. Hatred is stopped by admitting one's own faults before the creator. We all have sinned...but he redeems. Sermon on the Mt. = improved social living conditions.

What type of parent is worse? Far-left or far-right?

A child is conceived in the womb.

The child in a far-left home may not have a chance of survival past the first week of life and development because humans are considered "blobs of tissue" in the woman's womb.  Ideologies such as "over population" or human's create green house gasses will come from the mind of the woman who conceived in a far-left home.  Furthermore, the idea of infanticide doesn't really mean anything.....as they will say, oh the ancient pagan mothers of xyz European countries knew how to do what was best, if they simply couldn't handle that disabled baby in their home.  The parents frequent various clubs and new dating partners regularly even though they are "married" by state standards.  The child is encouraged to be a "special dancer" at the clubs.  The conditions of not having any other sibling is related to the reality that the mother in that home hates disabled children as she would have had the opportunity to raise a down syndrome child, but refused acceptance.

The child in a far-right home would possibly resemble something that looks like it came right out of Nazi German empire building.  Each of the children look good to the public eye.  They may have only SPECIAL heritage in that home.  All things considered, every "christian" teaching will involve Christmas trees filled with something that appears like -The Sound of Music- but actually deep down inside not a single "poor person" is invited into the home.  The children are born, raised and brought up with various talents.....even "christian" teachings....but in their soul their is emptiness.  Their parents constantly "fight," because cousin Lou is a Jewish person and sister Mary wants to marry a poor black man.  The father of the home loves his new buddy at the golf club because there he can escape his nagging wife.  He frequently avoids all conversations of bible shows us the way to heaven and it was through a Jewish messiah.  Furthermore the down syndrome child they had at the age of 30 was given up for adoption and never visited by the biological parents.  It was too much to expose this child to the public eye for this family.

The child in the far-left home is more likely to have suicide tendencies and illnesses related to STD's or other sexuality related diseases because they are taught that "sexual immorality" is important to embrace even in the "church" they attend (aka. a colorful flag hangs outside the door...but no descriptions and explanations of first five books of bible).  The bible is completely hated in this home.  All justification for hatred of Christians and even Jewish Christians are aloud in such a home.  The nation of Israel is a "bad place" because it just isn't a "Muslim nation."  The child in this home doesn't get much outdoor time to observe nature, but is told that "hormone therapies" will fix his inner soul, instead of acceptance of the reality that sin invades every corner of his heart.  This child when he reaches the age of 18 will go to Pakistan because he believes it is safer than the "Christian nations."  As a result, his far-left instincts will be exposed to the Pakistani community and he will be put into jail immediately for going against Sharia laws, even though the Pakistani's frequently use "boys" as dancers......he later ends up homeless and then dead at the age of 21 on a Pakistani street corner.

The child in the far-right home grows up thinking the things about people based on heritage.  Later through heritage tests and discussions in college about social conditions in homes of various heritages, the child discovers a great....ggg. grandparent who lived over 250 years ago that was an African Slave.  Someone deep in their heritage had to stand against racial segregation and slavery of the time.  Once this is discovered he sees the world in a different light.  No longer attracted to the idea that one race is superior to another.  Because of this he looks into Darwinism and see's its lies.  He sees the textbooks and senses that the man at the top of these text book images is always a "white man" and never a Jewish man with a nose.  Essentially the evolution theory and deep study into his own heritage would have eliminated some of this own ancestors!  He goes home to his family, and weeps for their understanding of what "white supremacy" is and isn't.  His own father took is life a couple years ago because he was fired by his black employer.  It is inside of them.  He finds gospel hope.  He lives in favor of Jewish people and others of minority heritage.  He moves to South Africa and then later Tanzania.  He raises 10 children in the joy of the Lord and his strength.

Yes, the proof is in the pudding.

A person cannot serve God and man.  The far-left home is more likely to end up in a tragic error in judgment.  The child himself is more likely to die in his sins.  The far-right home simply needs someone to "open up his eyes" to the reality of human conditions.

Question?
Would it be "safe" or "acceptable" to remove the child from the far-left home to save their life?  If your local child protection service agency says yes and voters have the opportunity to restrict access (sexual impurity promoters) to the children of parents who frequent "sexual impurity practices" then doing so can save the children from tragic errors in judgment.  (note: in muslim islamic countries the sexual impurity practices are at a level where "boys" are used as pawns when women don't function properly......this is because a. the gospel isn't available in these countries b. antisemitism and Holocaust topics are not frequented in these countries.) 

Though it seems "odd" there is a possibility that a person who lives near these types of people would "kidnap" the heart of these children by being a. their tutor/teacher/physician b. physically encouraging someone to be their nanny (instead of allowing the parents access to the child on a regular basis) c. physically kidnapping if it appears that the child is in severe distress (take to another state or country if laws and things don't appear good for the child).
