@LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP Hard to see what you've done from this side of the fence. But that's the point, isn't it? You do your thing, but not the thing that the people elected you to do. Keep patting yourself on the back... we're not impressed.

@libsoftiktok The best news I've heard today!

@beholdisrael Amir, I don't know how you maintain your equilibrium, patience or goodwill when so many don't bother to fully read your posts, but then make fools of themselves with comments, demonstrating their poor knowledge of Scripture. We Gentiles are very fortunate to have you as teacher.

[Kat @NosPopulusKat]

@peter_poco73954 @beholdisrael You didn't read the entire post, did you? And if you did, I'm sorry that you missed the point.

[Kat @NosPopulusKat]

@DOCLUKE2 @beholdisrael Do you stand in the place of God and decide to whom He listens, and to whom He does not? Your words do not appear sorrowful, but they do sound judgmental. Yikes! Keep holding that stone.

The Bible speaks of two records that will be present on the Day of Judgment: THE BOOKS and THE BOOK.

Daniel first introduced this scene:

“The court was seated, And the books were opened.”
Daniel 7:10 (NKJV)

Later, speaking of Israel’s future deliverance, he added:

“And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.”
Daniel 12:1 (NKJV)

John expands on Daniel’s vision:

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life… And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:12, 15 (NKJV)

From the moment we are born, we are sinners by nature.

David acknowledged this truth:

“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.”
Psalm 51:5 (NKJV)

Because of Adam’s fall, we enter this world already under condemnation.

Yeshua said:

“He who does not believe is condemned already…”
John 3:18 (NKJV)

But the moment we place our faith in the finished work of the Messiah, our standing before God changes forever.

Yeshua also said:

“He who believes in Him is not condemned…”
John 3:18 (NKJV)

By grace alone, through faith alone, our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Therefore, the only transfer the Bible ever describes is from the record of those who stand condemned to the Lamb’s Book of Life.

When Yeshua declared:

“He who overcomes… I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life…”
Revelation 3:5 (NKJV)

He was making a promise - not issuing a threat.

This is a statement of assurance, not insecurity. Christ was promising that those who belong to Him will never have their names removed from the Book of Life. He was not warning believers that they could lose their salvation.

Nowhere does the Bible teach a process of becoming “unborn again.” Nor does it suggest that eternal life can somehow cease to be eternal.

Yeshua Himself promised:

“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”
John 10:28 (NKJV)

The apostle John explains why some who once appeared to believe later walked away:

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us…”
1 John 2:19 (NKJV)

They did not lose their salvation.

Their departure simply revealed that they had never truly belonged to Yeshua in the first place.

@mattvanswol Good for you! I homeschooled 3 children...a firefighter, a very successful financial manager and an electrical engineer. All great adults, respectful, kind, contributing citizens, great parents. That's freedom. That's success. Don't apologize. Don't back down.

[Kat @NosPopulusKat]

This is what freedom looks like.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

My story about pulling our son out of NC public schools to homeschool him reached far more people than I expected.

So I owe you the full explanation. Fair warning: it's worse than you think.

1) My son was in a class with many kids that could not speak the English language.

Zero English. None. Not a word.

You might be asking yourself... well, how did lessons occur in the classroom?

I'm glad you asked.

In fact, the way the teachers communicated with the Spanish-speaking only students was by using their personal iPhones as translators, speaking instructions into the iPhones, and the iPhones spitting out the Spanish instructions to the Spanish-speaking students, and then the Spanish-speaking students speaking Spanish into the iPhones, and the English questions/answers coming are read out for the teacher.

If you're exhausted just reading that...good. Now hold that feeling.

Imagine you’re an English-speaking student sitting in that same classroom, like my 5 year old son was.

Every lesson is interrupted while translations happen and naturally, the teacher’s attention is constantly divided.

The pace of learning slows DRAMATICALLY for everyone else.

The consequence is that the classroom stops being optimized for the students who can already understand the instruction and instead becomes an exercise in overcoming a language barrier that never should have existed inside an American, English-language classroom in the first place.

A place built to teach kids who are ready to learn quietly becomes a place mostly occupied with bridging a gap in language.

I don't think my five-year-old should spend one irretrievable year of his early schooling waiting at that bridge.

2) I saw the writing on the wall for the future of my county's school system and realized that not only was the future incredibly bleak, but downright aggressively woke in a way words fail to describe.

For multiple months, our school system allowed kids to:

a) Create Anti-ICE protest signs inside of the schools
b) Exit the school grounds, often WITHOUT SUPERVISION by ANYONE
c) Stand along busy highways and scream "FUCK ICE" for a few hours

Most shockingly, it was clearly encouraged by the schools, by leadership, and by many of the teachers.

That was political activism.

It gets worse... for years Buncombe County has forced biological girls to deal with biological males (who call themselves trans) to enter into girls locker rooms and bathrooms.

This has been happening for years and no one dared to try to change or speak up until very very recently... that should tell you a lot about what the school leadership believes and their political bent.

There is an evil lie that I see being spread by many that have condemned our decision to homeschool.

That lie is this:

“Public schools are neutral. By homeschooling, you’re only exposing your child to one side.”

This is a grossly evil lie.

In fact, the opposite is happening.

Schools are not neutral institutions simply because they are publicly funded; every school day has a limited number of hours, and every lesson taught means another lesson isn’t.

There is a finite amount of time in school, everyone understands this, which means priorities matter.

Every hour spent discussing political activism is an hour that isn’t spent on reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, or civics.

So when schools increasingly prioritize activism, identity politics, or current political causes... something else inevitably gets pushed aside.

Guess what? That’s not neutrality, that’s a choice.

What so many parents continue to discover is that their child comes home with a head full of ideas about the world that are purely one-sided because that's all there was time for.

Nuance is lost because nuance is time-consuming.

Is there TIME for nuance when half the class cannot speak English and you're speaking into a translator?

Of course not.

A child who can chant but cannot argue the other side hasn't been educated, they've been conditioned and the conditioners always, ALWAYS believe they're doing the child a kindness.

3) I'm fairly confident that today's school system is not designed for boys at all, it's purely designed for girls.

I'll give an example.

One of the schools in my area noticed that boys were throwing pine-cones (calling them grenades) and playing with sticks (calling them guns and swords).

This made the girls in the class uncomfortable.

So the school banned the boys from playing with sticks or pinecones outside, saying that the boys were playing "violent games" and should stop.

One group's nature (the girls) became the rule.

The other group's nature (the boys) became an problem... and once you see it, you see it everywhere.

Classrooms rewards staying still, staying quiet, non-aggression, obedience.

So ask yourself honestly... if you designed an institution that graded children partly on their ability to sit motionless for six hours, who would you expect to win?

Girls, of course.

Boys "get into trouble" FAR more often than girls, and the "offenses" are things like being too aggressive, not staying in line, fidgeting, or being "defiant" for staying buried in a book instead of the worksheet.

The punishment schools reach for first is often to take AWAY recess, which is literally the physical release every study says he needs, as the penalty for needing it!

At my table, he can stand up when he needs to move. He can go deep on the thing that lights him up instead of being dragged off it. He can build his imaginary armies.

He can be exactly the boy he is and have that be an ASSET instead of someone saying that's a problem.

4) No teacher, no matter how gifted, no matter how well-meaning, walks into that classroom knowing my son the way we know him, and no one ever will.

The single most important qualification for teaching a child isn't a degree or a curriculum or a district budget..

...it's just how much do you actually care whether this SPECIFIC kid makes it?

How far would you go for him?
How late would you stay for him?
How many times would you explain it again and again?
How completely would you refuse to give up on him?

And on that measure, the whole world loses to his mother (who will be homeschooling him), it's not even close.

Nobody on earth will ever love him more than she does.

Nobody will study him, root for him, ache for him, and delight in him the way she does every ordinary day.

There has never been anyone on this earth more qualified to raise my son than the woman whose love for him knows no depths and has no end.

Hope that helps clarify a few things.

[Amir Tsarfati @beholdisrael]

People often ask me whether I am bothered by the hatred of the Jewish people around the world.

Let me remind you that neither Israel nor the church was ever designed to be loved by the world. Israel was chosen to reveal the one true God to the nations, and the church was sent to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Both stand as a testimony that confronts a world in rebellion against God.

Jesus Himself warned His followers:

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you… If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.”
— John 15:18, 20 (NKJV)

He also said:

“Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.”
— Luke 6:26 (NKJV)

If the world loves us because we have compromised the truth, something is wrong. But if the world hates us because we faithfully represent Christ, we are simply sharing in what He Himself experienced.

Everything God did in Israel and through Israel had one ultimate purpose. As the prophet Ezekiel repeatedly declared:

“Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”

When Israel rejected the Messiah, the responsibility of taking the gospel to the nations was entrusted to the church, made up of both Jews and Gentiles. Yet God’s story with the nation He calls His inheritance did not end there.

As a believer, I am committed to proclaiming the good news of the Hope of Israel. That is exactly how Paul referred to the Messiah when he declared:

“For the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
— Acts 28:20 (NKJV)

As a Jew, I am equally committed to proclaiming the good news that the Lord is not finished with His people. Just as He promised, His plans for Israel are to give them “a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11), until the day when “all Israel will be saved” (Romans 11:26).

The Gentile nations lived in disobedience before the coming of the Messiah. Israel, as a nation, stumbled by rejecting Him when He came. Yet God has sovereignly used both to accomplish His redemptive plan, showing mercy first to the Gentiles through Israel’s stumbling, and one day showing mercy to Israel as well.

That is exactly what Paul wrote:

“For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”
— Romans 11:30-33 (NKJV)

Before anyone misunderstands what I am saying, let me make one thing absolutely clear.

If you’re wondering whether I am suggesting that being Jewish is enough to be saved, the answer is no.

I will take you back to the words of Jesus Himself, spoken to one of the most respected leaders of the Jewish people, Nicodemus:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
— John 3:3 (NKJV)

If a leader of Israel needed to be born again, then so does every Jew. And if a religious Jew needed the Messiah for salvation, then so does every Gentile.

Salvation has always been, and will always be, by grace through faith in the Messiah. There is only one Savior, one gospel, and one way to the Father.

The distinction between Israel and the church is not about two different ways of salvation. It is about two distinct callings within God’s redemptive plan. The same Messiah who saves all who believe today is the One who will one day fulfill every promise He made to Israel.

The hatred of the world does not concern me. What concerns me is whether we remain faithful to God’s calling. Israel must remain Israel. The church must remain the church. And together, both continue to testify to the faithfulness of the God of Israel until the King returns.
