@VusiSambo We must confirm if we have gone completely green and reached net zero. At least we would have achieved some Geneva Convention something something 🤷🏽‍♂️

The past week has been a very busy one for South Africa’s chief clowns, circus masters & mamparas.

Corruption accused SAFA President-for-Life & failed ANC Mayor, Danny Jordaan, however, staged a comeback late on Thursday, & put up a very good fight against the likes of Gayton McKennzie, Andrea Johnson, News24 etc—& emerged as the unlikely winner.
His unprovoked outbursts, rants & insults against hapless journalists are easily one of his best works. He is the baddest badass he thinks heir is 🔥

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:

“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”

And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.

But later I realized something:

That question was not exposing Christianity.

It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.

Because the real question is not:

“Why would God become weak?”

The real question is:

“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”

Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.

But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.

And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.

It became proof of love.

If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.

If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.

If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.

He entered it Himself.

Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.

Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.

And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.

That changed everything for me.

Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.

Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.

And no prophet in history ever claimed that.

​Is your province representing accurately?

[Aveer @Aveer1986]

@PicknPay you guys are always late with orders, especially the Northgate branch. Your app even uses an incorrect map. It’s challenging ordering frozen foods from you when deliveries are an hour plus late all the time.

We’ve endured enough taunting & disrepect from Lesotho. Now they even want to close the taps in every sense of the phrase😡

If I were retired teacher-now top soldier, Comrade Angie Motshekga, we’d ride at dawn tomorrow with about a dozen of our finest women & men from the SANDF’s elite Special Forces Brigade; launch an early morning invasion of Maseru; & have the entire Lesotho annexed as South Africa’s 10th province by 9am tops.

We need more… not less men, like Paul Washer, not so much because of his preaching style (though I have been blessed by many of his messages) but because of his love for serving Christ and the Church.

4/4

[Aveer @Aveer1986]

@PicknPay you guys are always late in my area with asap deliveries. It’s getting really frustrating especially when you order items that need to refrigerated. If I wasn’t incentivised to use asap, I definitely wouldn’t because it’s really bad.

Astronomer Robert Jastrow (who is not a Christian) explains how the Big Bang supports the idea of a Creator:

“Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover.

That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.”
― Robert Jastrow

“Far from disproving the existence of God, astronomers may be finding more circumstantial evidence that God exists.”
― Robert Jastrow

“There is a strange ring of feeling and emotion in these reactions [of scientists to evidence that the universe had a sudden beginning]. They come from the heart whereas you would expect the judgments to come from the brain. Why? I think part of the answer is that scientists cannot bear the thought of a natural phenomenon which cannot be explained, even with unlimited time and money.

There is a kind of religion in science; it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the Universe. Every event can be explained in a rational way as the product of some previous event; every effect must have its cause. There is no First Cause. …

This religious faith of the scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover.”
― Robert Jastrow, The Enchanted Loom

“Now we see how the astronomical evidence supports the Biblical view of the origin of the world. The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and Biblical accounts of Genesis are the same: the chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy.”
― Robert Jastrow, The Enchanted Loom

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

There are numerous American towns with “-ville” at the end of their names. The suffix “-ville” means “city.” So, Jacksonville is the “city of Jackson."

There are also countries with “-stan” at the end of their names, such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. The suffix “-stan” means “place of.” So, Afghanistan is the “place of the Afghans” and so forth.

Something similar happens with place names in the Bible when the Hebrew word “beth” (בֵּית) is joined to another word. This is a form of “bayit” (בַּיִת), which means “house.” There’s Bethel (בֵּית־אֵל), for instance, which means “House of El” (“House of God”), and Beth-Eden (בֵּית עֶדֶן), meaning “House of Delight or Luxury” (Amos 1:5).

Most famously is Bethlehem which means “House of Bread.” The Bible mentions two Bethlehems: Bethlehem of Zebulun (Josh. 19:5) and Bethlehem of Judah. The latter, of course, is David’s hometown and the birthplace of Jesus.

In Hebrew, the name occurs both as two words בֵּית לֶחֶם (Beth Lechem) and as two conjoined words בֵּית־לֶחֶם (Beth-Lechem), but never, as we write it in English, as one undivided word, “Bethlehem.” The Hebrew pronunciation has a hard "h" so Beth-Lechem would have been a more appropriate spelling, but we are stuck with Bethlehem.

The noun “lechem” does mean “bread” but it’s also the generic word for “food” or “nourishment.” Were we to pray the Lord’s Prayer in Hebrew, we would ask our Father to give us this day our daily lechem, our daily nourishment.

The first mention of “lechem” in the Bible is when Adam sinned, when God told him that thenceforth “by the sweat of your face you shall eat bread [lechem]” (Gen. 3:19).

How graciously fitting, therefore, that the Last Adam was born in the House of Bread. He came to redo what Adam had undone—and to do it even better.

By the sweat of Jesus’ face, by his effort and sacrifice and his bearing of the curse for us, we now eat of him, the Bread of Life, and live forever.

This is Carson's best quote and it's not even close:

"People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord.

We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated."

This was on TBN, and it's the exact OPPOSITE of what the majority of teachers they air on there teach. I don't know enough about this woman to say for sure about her theology, but what she says here condemns the majority of the teachers on TBN. Says she came to the realization that what we think is good for us is very different than what God thinks is good for us. Healing isn't always best for us, sometimes the things sickness or other trials produce in us is better.
