Early onI learned Ethnic Russians who drove Nazis out of Ukraine were being persecuted for being Russian TrueFreedom Fighters; USA collaborated with Nazis to start war by OPPRESSING THEM. #Ukraine

🚨"We're not fighting Ukrainians; we're fighting you, the rotten, evil West, which has lost Christian morality and the faith of its fathers. And that's why this war is sacred for our people,"
Vladimir Solovyov said in an interview with Roger Keppel.

"Don't tell me anything about this war. I spent more than 300 days on the front lines. I've been everywhere and seen a lot. And if anyone tries to tell me, 'No, Vladimir, you're talking about going to the front, fighting for the Motherland. What about you?' Every weekend I'm with my guys. I show the Russian people the moment of absolute glory—the battle for the Motherland against global evil, global Satanism. That's what we're fighting for on Ukrainian soil. We're not fighting Ukrainians; we're fighting you, the rotten, evil West, which has lost Christian morality and the faith of its fathers. And that's why this war is sacred for our people." And so today, when we look at the West, we have only one question: "What happened to you? At what point did you betray your faith?"

good advice: Get a Bible with Jesus' words in Red. Rely on that. It's more than enough.

[Wasson Watch Co. @WassonWatch]

"I am the Law of Moses."

In the popular TV Show, "The Chosen," there's a scene where the Jesus character is reading from the Book of the Law. He's questioned by the Pharisees, who at some point tell him, "If you do not renounce your words, we will have no choice but to follow the Law of Moses," implying that they would be forced to kill him for speaking presumptively for God.

The Jesus character responds, "I am the Law of Moses."

This line caused no shortage of controversy for a variety of reasons. First, it is not found in the Bible. Where is it found? It's found in the Book of Mormon.

There's plenty of other controversy to go around with The Chosen. Many feel that it takes too much license in general (not just with the Law of Moses statement), and I know pastors who have to correct errant theology or ideas that people have basically gotten from The Chosen.

But the provenance of this scene isn't all that's wrong with it. It's not only not found in the Bible. It's also directly contradicted by the Bible, something I just noticed this morning while reading Romans 3.

Romans 3:21-22 says, "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction."

If the righteousness of God has been manifested APART from the law, then Jesus is not literally the law. He is the AUTHOR of the law. The law points TO Jesus, but Jesus is not The Law.

However you feel about The Chosen, if you watch it, I just want to caution you that it is not the Bible. It is not a replacement for the Bible. Much of what you see in it is not in the Bible, and some parts even contradict the Bible.

The media we consume impacts us - sometimes more than we even realize. Act accordingly.

Most middle and high schools no longer have students read the whole books.

Pieces of them, maybe. But mostly, they are reading short passages.

Kids need to read whole books.

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

"It is a joke.
The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it.
These guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went and they thought they figured the f---ing game out.
They don't know s---.
A bunch of f---ing nerds running the game.
You can't slide into second base.
You can't take out the f---ing catcher because Posey was in the wrong position and they are going to change all the rules.
You can't pitch inside anymore.
I'd like to knock some of these f---ers on their ass.
Ryan Braun is a f---ing steroid user.
He gets a standing ovation on "Opening Day" in Milwaukee.
How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his f---ing teeth?
They don't have anyone passing the f---ing torch to these people.
If I had acted like that, you don't go in that f---ing dugout.
There are going to be 20 f---ing guys waiting for you."

São Tomás de Aquino dizia que a lei natural não foi inventada por ninguém. ela foi descoberta.
está inscrita no ser humano antes de qualquer cultura, antes de qualquer legislação e antes de qualquer ideologia.
por isso que toda civilização, em todo tempo, reconheceu que matar o inocente é errado.
que a criança precisa de pai e mãe.
e que existe diferença entre homem e mulher.
não porque alguém decidiu.
mas porque algumas verdades antecedem opiniões.

Why? Does light react that way? Is there some law of Physics? From whence?

If the resurrection actually happened

Would an all powerful god have left the most important event in history with zero contemporary documentation or evidence and no way to investigate it?

🤯 EN 1983, PAUL NEWMAN DÉTRUIT LE NARRATIF DE LA « SÉCURITÉ NATIONALE » ! 🚨

💥Regardez cet extrait.

❗L’acteur explique calmement, devant un public médusé :

- Quand les Soviétiques abattent un avion civil coréen → tollé mondial, débats à l’ONU, indignation morale.

- Quand Israël abat un avion civil libyen en 1978/79 → presque rien. Nixon s’excuse même auprès de Kadhafi.

🤷🏻Puis il pose LA question :

« Quel est la différence ? »

Parce qu’il faut créer un ennemi.

Parce que sans ennemi, comment justifier des milliards pour de nouvelles armes (Pershing II, Trident…) ?

Parce que l’industrie militaire a besoin d’un adversaire permanent pour continuer à vendre la peur.

Et il conclut :

« C’est un jeu que je ne comprends pas. »

**Comme par hasard**, ce discours de 1983 est toujours d’actualité.

On change juste les noms des ennemis.

On recycle les mêmes arguments.

On maintient la même machine.

[john ormond @johnormond5]

Anti-abortion focuses on the idea a mother has a duty under the law to protect her fetus to delivery and beyond. It is clear in Criminal Law one cannot stab one's belly with a knife with intent to harm. Also, a parasite is from outside one's body, as is a worm. And, there is a slight difference in the value of the lives of the subjects.(One hopes!)

[@amuse @amuse]

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Recorded sermon catches James Talarico (CIS) comparing unborn children to tapeworms & parasites who should have no legal rights. He claims Christianity is a 'feminist religion' that justifies abortion. This is the 'moderate' Democrat preacher running for Senate. Just say no.

Jesus crossed many lines, and, in
loving one's "neighbor" at His command, many were freed.
Slaves were taken in war, purchased after wars, and, typically taken away to another land. Would more people have been loved by emancipating? How? By a beggar's fiat?
Reflect on USA Civil War: Many died, many slaves.
Please don't confuse Political realities with personal conduct.
