Jesus was a Jewish man......on the cross....

Reformed by him....a Jewish man on the cross.

Jesus himself was specific in his heritage and conditions.

Jesus was specifically the son of King David.

Jesus was specifically of the tribe of Judah.

Jesus was specifically of the Israelites or Jewish.

Jesus was specifically a decendant of Abraham.

Jesus was specifically of the people from the Levant (like Syria).

Jesus was specifically of the people from the middle-east (interactions in the bible stories, listed tribes and nations in the bible.)

Jesus was specifically a decendant of Shem (kings of the east? follow language patterns?  follow heritage patterns with darker hair color and brown eyes from time to time?)

Jesus was specifically the "new Adam" when the "old Adam" needed to be reformed....


The writers and participants of the New Testament (like Paul's letters etc......were mostly of Jewish heritage)

Jesus himself GAVE his body.....so that ALL can be ONE in HIM.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
(1Co 12:12-31)

Internet and video etiquette for those who attend a wedding or special event....

Perhaps someone took a video at a wedding.

Perhaps someone doesn't want their picture on the internet.

Perhaps someone doesn't want to be known to be connected to someone else through the internet.

Perhaps someone isn't really secure enough in their presence on the internet or is unfamiliar with it.

Perhaps someone only wants people to visit more often face to face.

Perhaps someone is mostly interested in faith to faith connection at a local faith group.

Perhaps someone doesn't want their picture or video posted on the internet with a certain "theme" or element in the background noise, music or stimulation.

*******

The same holds true for those who are in a friendship or faith community

******

Consider wisely before posting something on the internet for those close to you.

Consider wisely asking for permission before posting something.

Consider wisely how this friendship could be hindered or benefited by the friends appearance on the internet.


******

Jesus TRULY is the friend that sticks CLOSER than a BROTHER.

Internet "gremlins" from the far-side of celeb-look-alike statuses....

People keep "records".......they keep "books" on certain behaviors....... THEY believe unworthy.

They look for "signs"......they look for "relationships"......they look for unusual "beliefs"......they are on the prowl.

I don't exactly know why they believe these NORMAL human conditions and behaviours are unworthy.  I don't exactly know why they believe these NORMAL human appearances and look-alike conditions are unworthy.  I just KNOW they (these strangers in the creepy mask) believe these things are UNWORTHY.

If the internet was never invented, we would not know what our ..... long distant 5th cousin was doing 500 miles or more away from us.  There would be no "connection."  But even in the innocent internet appearances.....the Gremlins.....who care not for whom they devour.....with their statistical framework....ideas.....manipulations......are warring with you.....with me.....with family.....with friends.....with neighbors......even with the enemies whom you are to .......LOVE.

For some reason the internet "gremlin" believes he or she can tell you your life story before you could even tie your shoe!


Keep on the lookout..... by knowing HIS WORD.

Keep on the "blackout" of seriously personal data and information that the enemy could misuse and misinterpret!  Even whom the name of your long lost .....dog who lived with your great-aunt happened to be......if you must.

Yes, I would be able to say that I have family celeb-look a likes.  Even without the internet "celeb look alike" generator..... (within the 2nd cousin range of my children or myself perhaps.....or so)

Kate Winslet-Rose (Grandparent already passed away....for some reason one of the grandchildren tried pulling money in with beauty trick....didn't turn out with the best results.) ... also applies to a close family friend in -Iowa-..... amish style. Buddy Holly Charlie Puth (younger videos) Maroon 5 (younger charlie look alike turns/acts brown skin tone) Omar Adam Nefresh Mountain Kevin Kostner Crowder Yonina Matisyahu TYT (Chenk Yuger to a point of appropriate understanding) Cash Cab guy Josh Groban at certain angle in the camera lens. Jennifer Love Hewit (based on computer generated models, visual statements and things of that sort) Ben Shapiro (intellectually too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts6DRKIigAU


Be aware of the DANGER that these Gremlins can and could do to a person whom you, I and others care about!

They CAN and DO pose from any sort of faith background.  If you do NOT know them personally, as in, face to face and they willingly want to tell you about their grandmother's secret recipe.....then BEWARE.  Even the sweetest looking "teacher" can be a "false teacher" in disguise.......

Some may even go as far as saying that these principles of "control" have something to do with the anti-Christ system..... it could.  It very well could be the case.  Looking like a celebrity doesn't mean that the people WANT to act like a celebrity.......to put it lightly.....however, looking yucky on the inside can be seen by the heavenly father.....even if we believe a celebrity isn't worthy.

We battle NOT against Flesh and Blood.....but against principalities.

So that information that is "out there" can be easily stored in the mind of a scavenger hunting stranger.....for ever and ever.....even if they don't even CARE.  We should hope and PRAY that they DO CARE.....about these things.

All in all, if there is some seriously SECRET FAMILY data that you don't want the "gremlins" to access, then keep it in a BOOK or other SLOW TO REACH access location.....like a notebook or piece of paper.....framed on the wall of your OWN HOME.....if needed.

Why don't "smart women" get married as frequently?

There is evidence that "Smart women" have a tendency to get married at lower frequency.  The definition of woman being "smart": being a woman with capability to grasp concepts surrounding "mathematics" "musical pieces" or other conditions beyond the general population (ie. statistically rare conditions).  Some smart women are simply -cultural- and know their place in weaving a better basket for the next generation (it is just simply not evaluated by a testing procedure).   They may have a higher tendency to avoid or miss the opportunity to raise their own children.  This is particularly true for women with a Phd. or higher.  Now understand this, a woman with a PhD. is NOT MORE intellectually gifted, even by comparison to family members within 2nd cousin range, in general, than an average college student (like a woman who went to get a nursing license or dropped out of college and started a small business).  Rather, the women with a PhD. or higher is simply capable of PAYING FOR or MOVING UP the ladder in the "books" department at the "library."  Biblically speaking, Lot's wife "looked back" and Lot had children with his daughters.....instead of with his wife......(which Christ overcame the issues surrounding Sodom and Gomorrah)....






I don't really know the "exact" answer.  As far as education is concerned, there are patterns in the education process.  Absorbing this and that information.  For each person on this planet, they go through the process of "learning differently".....some children do not recognize the good or evil "teachings" that they receive (like those in abusive, latch-key or oppressive environments).  Some recognize those conditions and move forward with life in a better way.  This is particularly true for those who are educated between the ages of 8-14 (the vital age to understand and solidify reading, writing and math skills for REAL LIFE survival).

Some essentially say that a "smart woman" is intimidating, in some way or another.  Sometimes a "smart man" may also be intimidating.  Not that it is bad to be "smart" but that there may be a feeling of -PRIDE- that comes out of such hearts bent on intellectual superiority.  When the truth is that no "intellectual capacity" exists except that a HEART is beating with in the heart of a man (literally and metaphorically).

Here is a video...... (note......I know some women who are smart in the IQ rating department.....who have difficulty conceiving children...hence they need to adopt.......but in reality......it may be the ELIMINATION of fear......as I ALSO know smart women -Harvard quality- who have 10+ children....!!)





So hence the reality is this.......

to some people "smarts"......looks like

when the smart woman feels like she can constantly play this:




while letting the "little stuff go"......

(Little People......Little Men......Little existence of Godly men)


When all that is TRULY need to love a spouse and bear HEALTHY children...... is..... (this is my home on a good day by the way)




when a WISE women knows she only truly needs to play with and around this:


a man of GOD will recognize the "love" that is needed........ the intellectual gifts are good (and necessary in difficult to solve conditions for humanity) WHEN they are applied to REALITY.

(Big God ...... Big People....... Big MEN of GOD)........ = Marriage/Children/Family --  community conditions

As far as "following God's will" is concerned...... yes, a woman who is simply "messing around" is doing that and God knows that (I'm not that stupid) about how God is "all knowing."  Also, if a woman is in an oppressive environment (many terrorists or creeps around) she simply SHOULDN'T get married in those situations, but truly stick with GOD'S plan for her life (share gospel with whom ever she can in the right way for safety sake).....


****

Note: I, as a general rule, have "above average" intellectual strengths.  However, I KNOW God himself actually CALLED me to STAY in my state of being married to my husband, thanks to knowing biblical things, and knowing how to properly listen to "God's voice" in a proper sense of looking for "God signs." (Dreams and in physical presence of people who know my spouse and I).  If a church doesn't believe in "God signs"......you may want to double check the moral structure of that church (law approving vs. lawless via Hebrews 11)

Just a "traditional song"...... traditions come and go......and alter with time.  But GOD'S VOICE is the SAME message.  JOY.....HEART....HEAVEN/NATURE SING!  (a person doesn't "need" a church building....but a person does need GODLY people via brotherly/sisterly love)

The "Pilot's License" for marriage bible verse....with brotherly love conditions....


JOHN 3:29 is the KEY VERSE....



Joh_3:29  He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled..... hmmmm enough evidence for TRUTH..... there is exactly one bride and one bridegroom in the conditions of John 3:29. That's all folks... the brotherly love and stuff exists too of course through out the evidence of conditions for keeping humanity from falling into the trap of self-righteousness. The bridegroom and the bride need to get their "pilot's license" (not to insult the conditions produced after such and such time frame in the supreme court) BUT to understand things from a DIVINE perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgtz3V2IGdo In other words, give up "selfishness".......based upon his principles of overcoming such conditions since Adam and Eve.

Play the above song on "mute" and add this song to the background....



the "pilot" doesn't deceive or distort the reality and conditions necessary for marriage to last BEYOND a lifetime. Bride AND Bridegroom are included in the marriage. This verse also emphasizes the NEED for "brotherly love" so to speak....


So in other words there happens to be a condition in humanity where humanity doesn't "get" the ideas correct and then bam..... no more butterflies... hmmm well the condition is this. Selfishness. Consider wisely the definition of "brotherly love" along with the conditions of marriage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbHP_o0AuQs (minus the ending ikky statements and behaviour...in the video yikes)

The tragedy of the "digital age"......

The "digital age" means that people assume every person on the "internet" or elsewhere truly cares about his or her children or other people in their lives from family to friends.  Now we don't know how people use pictures in the newspaper or magazines when the images and pictures are published by copyright laws.  (I often do NOT post many digital images/videos of my children for various reasons.  When they are older and wish to put their videos/images on the internet, then that is their choice in an appropriate manner.)

Unfortunately, there are a few cunning souls who truly take advantage of "the little things" in our lives.  To them it makes no difference.  To us, in our personal lives, it means a lot.......


Severe evils exist in the digital world ;(  so sad..... it is hard to work in an "ER" of a hospital or in an area of the world with a lot of oppression..... (This contains graphic and content that is not good for children's ears and eyes)




Now the average couple or individual who doesn't work for any sort of Media company or work in Hollywood, will not have "special legal protection" and "copyright" over any images/videos that are produced in the "important events" in our lives.  This video is about old-days....but we will STILL have to face these same trials of the heart........even in our modern era.



Life is difficult to manage as it is, and then there are the folks who think the idea of using another's experience as their own.....when it is not.  Yes, some people DO go through similar experiences or "look alike."  Its obviously not the same feature of our lives as "stealing" another's events and "image".....so to speak, because two or more people DO go through and look like each other at anytime in the digital age.


When someone says they love JESUS....but deny the reality that he came from the -LEVANT- and specifically had -LEVANT- cousins and relatives.....they are trying to overshadow the reality of who he was, is and will be.  Double check VALUES (along with accountable people....even in the digital age) before starting a relationship to protect one's self from dangers....sometimes unknown to man.




The reality of having "Levant" cousins and relatives.....is that they go through the "boy stage" of life, which is awkward, but it can be put into the reality of choosing Holiness after coming through a prodigal son state of being.  (I have relative who looks like Charlie at this stage in life....almost to a T.....in the digital age....)




Of course these conditions do NOT always have to be a negative!  The similar conditions and appearances could lead to greater understanding of another individual's life or lead to new and important long lasting friendships.

For safety information watch the videos:
