Honest people will lead a full, happy life. But if you are a hurry to get rich, you are going to be punished.

A quotation from The Bible

If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread;
   if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
By doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads,
   and the Lord will reward you.

A quotation from The Bible

   Samuel told the people who were asking him for a king everything that the Lord had said to him. “This is how your king will treat you,” Samuel explained.
   “He will make soldiers of your sons; some of them will serve in his war chariots, others in his cavalry, and others will run before his chariots. He will make some of them officers in charge of a thousand men, and others in charge of fifty men. Your sons will have to plow his fields, harvest his crops, and make his weapons and the equipment for his chariots.
   “Your daughters will have to make perfumes for him and work as his cooks and his bakers.
   “He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves, and give them to his officials. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your grapes for his court officers and other officials. He will take your servants and your best cattle and donkeys, and make them work for him. He will take a tenth of your flocks. And you yourselves will become his slaves.
   “When that time comes, you will complain bitterly because of your king, whom you yourselves chose, but the Lord will not listen to your complaints.”
   The people paid no attention to Samuel, but said, “No! We want a king.”

US envoy Mike Huckabee says it would be ‘fine’ if Israel took all Middle East land

Such religious #rubbish is a seed for #war .

Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose.

Docetism

This term comes from the Greek word: dokein (“to seem,” “to appear”). This is the doctrine that Jesus wasn’t a human being of flesh & blood. But Jesus was a pure spirit who only appeared to be human, that his human form was an illusion. If God is perfected Spirit, He couldn’t possibly “unite” with matter. Therefore, Jesus’ body was a sort of divine hologram.

The word Doketai (“Illusionists”) referring to early groups who denied Jesus’ humanity, first occurred in a letter by Bishop Serapion of Antioch (197-203). It appears to have arisen over theological contentions concerning the meaning, figurative or literal, of a sentence from the beginning of John’s Gospel: “the Word was made Flesh.”

Docetism was unequivocally rejected at the First Council of Nicaea in 325. This doctrine is heretical by the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, Armenian Apostolic Church, Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, & Anglican Communion & many Protestant denominations such as Calvinist (Reformed Christians), Reformed Baptists, Waldensians, & all Trinitarian Christians.

There are 2 varieties of Docetism. In 1 version, called Marcionism, Jesus was so divine that couldn’t have been human. Since God lacked a material body, which couldn’t physically suffer. Jesus only appeared to be a flesh & blood man. His body was a phantasm.

Marcion of Sinope is perhaps the most famous figure associated with Docetic teachings. He was a wealthy shipowner who moved to Rome around 140 CE. Marcion was obsessed with the contrast between the “wrathful” God of the Old Testament & the “loving” Father of Jesus.

Marcion argued that Jesus was a completely new entity who descended directly from Heaven to Capernaum in 29 CE. He didn’t have a birth, childhood, or biological body. Marcion was the 1st to try & create a “closed” New Testament canon. This forced mainstream Christianity to define its own scriptures.

The other group who were accused of Docetism held that Jesus was a man in the flesh. But Christ was a separate entity who entered Jesus’ body in the form of a dove at His baptism, empowered him to perform miracles, & abandoned Him upon His death on the cross.

Ignatius of Antioch, writing in the early 2nd century while on his way to be executed in Rome, he was the main “anti-Docetist.” He realized that if Jesus didn’t have a real body, His death & resurrection were meaningless.

Ignatius argued that if Jesus’ suffering was a fake, then the suffering of Christian martyrs was also a waste of time. He insisted on the physical reality of the Eucharist, calling it the “medicine of immortality” because it represented real flesh.

Wisdom in the Old Testament is not a single voice but a conversation that embraces certainty and doubt, order and mystery. It affirms that understanding grows through experience, community, and relationship with God.

How are you going to reform the fact the old testament god commanded the death of gay israelites (lv 20:13), are you going to denounce the old testament?

The Old Testament books present divine judgment as a multifaceted and deeply relational concept. Rooted in covenant theology, expressed through narrative, law, prophecy, and wisdom, judgment functions as both consequence and correction.

Riddle-Poem 12/31/2025

The stumbling of a stupid ox
And bungled balance of a box
Resulted in my strickening.
I barely even touched the thing
When instinct chose to instigate
A sudden care for sacred freight.
Henceforth that place in name shall be
Where the Lord burst out against me.

Riddle-Poem 12/29/2025

My usual task, to drill the Earth
And make the fabric stay,
Familiar from my ferrous birth,
Is set aside today.
Beyond my once expected worth
I’m valued versatile
For drilling drunk, unconscious girth
Beneath a woman’s wile.
