While we were in Cuba visiting with some of our brethren, we went to have Friday night vespers. We had all the extended family and cousins and nephews and nieces, etc... But I kept seeing this one person that I couldnt quite place. So I asked who she was, and in hushed tones they told me she is the 'neighborhood block captain', the guardian of the Communist government rules and regulations. They told me not to speak on the porch or street or show in anyway a disdain or resistance against the power that is...

My family was in Cuba when Castro took over, we know 'shaking'...

The thing is the Easter celebration was a pagan festival to the gods thus the sun god worship.. Passover has none of that....

I lost 60 pounds to try to level off my blood sugar and went to the doctor and guess what she said..... (hint think marine sergeant)

I tell this little goat story to show how the Law saves us from harm..... Jesus used parables to explain things plainly so the people could understand, and I was struck as I worked on my fence this morning, by how the fence was like Gods law, and I thought I would share it. I have many animals but none have given me more grief than my goats. When I first got them, they were a few weeks old and I put up a fence to keep them safe from the various panthers, bears, bobcats and other wildlife that share the woods with us. The fence was more of a marker for the goats as they soon learned to go under it and wander out in the woods were dangers lurked. They got out and indulged in all their little goat desires and ate lantana and other things which wasnt good for them, then at night they would come home through the front gate and lay on the warm hood of my car or the top, causing me great grief. Then I lost some of them from bloating from what they ate and to wildlife, so I did everything I could to save them from the real dangers in the woods. I put a second fence around them so they were in sight of the house so I could go get them if they got out. I sank the bottom of the fence deeper and cemented it at the base, but they jumped over it. I made the fence higher, so they stood on top of stumps or logs so they could get over it. I told my wife we would have to get rid of the goats because they would not stay withing the fence, and getting out where the panthers, bobcats and other dangers in the woods took their toll, so she said to let her try. She went and sat with them and gave them alfalfa hay to clear out their tummys of the bad stuff they had picked up. She talked to them and rubbed their bellies when they were sick and gave them charcoal for the bloating. Soon the goats stopped jumping the fence and waited for my wife in their pen, and let her hold them and clean their fur or between their horns as that is the one place they cant reach. Now they listen for her voice and come running when she calls and sit with her and listen to her little goat stories she tells them. Something happened that changed the goats, I couldnt put my finger on it but on one thing I was clear, the fence didnt save them from the dangers. Did it help, yes as far as it delineated the cleared land of the farm and their little goat pen where it was safe. But somehow the goats changed in their little goat desires and behavior and they no longer wanted to jump the fence and leave the farm, but instead to stay within the safety of the fence and share their happiness with someone who loves them......

Is there room for improvement? Sure. But there is real progress. It is going to take a while.

That is very complete. Thank you for posting this. Related from that website: These 5 jobs could be exempt from the military draft as automatic registration starts Story by Frida Liljefors Millions of young American men will be automatically registered for the military draft by the end of this year. But some roles could be exempt from a potential draft if a full-scale war were to break out. With automatic draft registration set to roll out by 2026, eligible men will no longer need to sign up themselves. Instead, the government will handle it using existing data systems, what officials describe as a move that “transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources.” But even in wartime, some roles are considered too essential to disrupt. Healthcare workers have long been protected. Doctors, nurses, and medical staff are needed both on the front lines and at home, making them far less likely to be assigned combat roles, according to VT. Farmers, agricultural workers, and even bakers have also traditionally been exempt, to help keep supply chains stable. New US military draft rules Engineers and technicians, including those responsible for maintaining infrastructure and developing military systems, are also seen as critical to both national defense and everyday life. Other than that, utility workers such as electricians and water engineers would likely fall into the same category, in order to keep essential services running. Exemptions may also apply to women, students, and those who oppose war on religious or moral grounds. Individuals with certain medical or mental health conditions could also qualify. Even if someone is not sent to the front lines, they may still be assigned other roles where they can contribute. For now, a draft remains a last resort. But with automatic registration approaching and global tensions still simmering, the question of who would be called to serve — and who might be exempt — is no longer a distant one.

Christian liberty consists of freedom from legalistic observance of commandments, statutes, and laws of both human and divine origin. Ga 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Ga 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Ironically, Jesus, in securing our liberty, sacrificed his own. Exodus 21 and Deuteronomy use an illustration from the slave culture of those times. Normally, a purchased servant would serve for six years and be released in the seventh year. If his master had given him a wife who had children, they would not be released. The servant could refuse his freedom, if he loved his family and master. In that case, he would be brought to a place of judgment, to the doorpost, and have his ear pierced with an aul. He would then serve his master forever. Jesus took upon Himself the form of a servant. He was made in the likeness of men. He allowed Himself to be pierced at the place of judgment, the doorpost of Calvary. He would forever bear elements of the humanity he died to save. He will, in a sense, be a servant forever, encumbered with a human form. Jesus didn't just die for us. He sacrificed an element of His divinity, that we might be partakers of the divine nature.

Probably. No I don't recall. How will he accomplish this? Yes I think that is correct. I have observed that.

What would happen if hypothetically one of the three Persons croaked and eternally ceased to exist? If one of the Persons eternally became as if they never existed would then the "one God" be Father & Holy spirit, a collection of two co-eternal Persons or would the rubric allow for some other type of arbitrary God?

Did Ellen White insinuate or in any way imply each "Personality" (flesh body) gave up a portion of their power/abilities? I'm not being sarcastic I honestly don't know. I've not heard this concept previously and it's possible this may be somewhat widespread in the archives of the General Conference. I'd be interested in hearing more about this Challenger. What did you think of the Video I posted about why God is simple? Did you understand it? I mean did you get the point the author was trying to convey whether you agree with the point or not.

Gus, I agree with your first sentence, and "Christ is as much God as the Father is God, " and so is the Holy Spirit. Each equal and Devine. But I believe before they created life they determined that they could better manage/control their creation if they each set aside/gave up 2/3 of their power/abilities using only the third remaining. This demonstrates love between them and for their creation. It is why the Bible claims God is Love. In like manner a married couple vow to be faithful to each other, forsaking all others to death, because they are motivated by love. Examples: Only the Father has foreknowledge, only Jesus creates, and only the Holy Spirit can be in all places as the same time. They all have this ability but divine love, restrains them from using all of their Divinity. Too, it was decided between them that only Jesus would take on the form of His creation in order to reveal the other two Gods who would always remain invisible. Had Jesus sinned in His human form as the first Adam, He would have died the second death, which is the wages of sin. Had He perished for eternity the Father and Holy Spirit would still exist.

AP is incredibly biased in their reporting. Whether they are accurate or not, I can't say. I can say, however, that the stories/narratives they produce are their own interpretations of events which are sometimes sharply disconnected from reality. For example, comments on events captured on video do not fit what can be plainly be seen. Rather than just reporting the facts, they use descriptive terms to flavor the story in a way that is almost ALWAYS contra President Trump. Often, they will say President Trump falsely said thus and thus. They are not arbiters of truth. Based on what I've observed, I'd believe Trump before I'd believe them. NYT editorials were also sometimes extremely critical. I cancelled my subscription. I'm not interested in the opinions of people who view the world as they do. Fox, which appeared favorable to Trump and his administration, is blocked in parts of Asia; consequently AP serves as a primary provider of what is essentially anti U.S. government propaganda. I very much enjoy seeing Trump's press secretary putting reporters in their place. Hegseth's recent dressing down of the press was great. The abuses of press freedom in which the American press indulges would not be tolerated in some other countries. Their agencies would be closed and the principals incarcerated.

Did Hegseth quote fake Bible verse from Tarantino movie? Separating fact from 'Pulp Fiction' Hegseth said the lead mission planner for an Iran war rescue operation delivered the prayer to him and told him they use it ahead of missions. Claim: A video authentically shows U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivering a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that closely resembled a fictionalized Bible verse from "Pulp Fiction." Rating: True Context Hegseth did not introduce the prayer as an authentic Bible verse, instead saying he received it from the lead mission planner for the "Sandy One" Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission in Iran. "They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17," he said. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hegseth-bible-pulp-fiction/?
