China has 8 different political parties, in addition to various social organizations. One organization is devoted to the assistance of disabled individuals. There is a State approved church known in English as the 3 Self Patriotic Movement. Catholicism has many churches, although there is conflict between the Papal government and the Chinese Communist Party. There is also conflict between Tibetan Buddhists and the CCP. The CCP wisely eschews the interference of foreign governments/leaders, such as that of the Papacy or the Dalai Lama, in their internal affairs. Han Buddhism and Daoism also flourish in China; consequently, the idea that "China" hates any organization" is patently false. There are numerous organizations in China, including Muslim, which get along fine with the government.

Somewhere in the frozen civic imagination of the American progressive there lives a fantasy Scandinavia, a land of free healthcare, free love and free thought, where the state hands out contentment like lozenges and nobody has ever raised his voice in anger.

There is a difference between traditionalists from whatever faith, and exegetics/ Biblical Theology. I very much respect Jewish teachers who use exegesis, Biblical Theology and archaeology etc. These are indeed brothers and sisters in the faith.

The results of the growth and removal of nodules on her voice box left her with a voice that felt so full of pain, sadness and tears that she was able to sing with power and enters into her listener's ears and flows right to the heart. Such a beautiful voice. Of the three songs of hers I'm familiar with, while all beautiful, my favorite was "It's a heart ache". Loosing her at such a young age is a heart ache.

The key to understanding Paul in the opening verses of Romans 7 is Romans 6:6: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Compare this to Romans 7:4: 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. "Our old man is crucified with him" is another way of saying "ye are dead to the law." "That henceforth we should not serve sin" is another way of saying "we should bring forth fruit unto God." The destruction of the body of sin is what allows us to be married to another.

I was fortunate to learn from Jewish teachers who treasured the word of God, especially torah and tehillim, [Psalms]. The torah teacher employed a sort of call and response. He would translate English verses recited back into Hebrew to locate the verse, then respond. If prayers for the dead did any good, he would be way up on my list. The other gentleman who was kind of a tzaddik taught me enough Hebrew that we could read the Bible together. I would read the verse in Hebrew, then he would free translate it into English and we would discuss it. Another great soul I hope to see in heaven. Learning Hebrew from him was a real spiritual experience, not an academic one. As a young man, he learned Yiddish so he could talk with his Polish grandfather.

Kinship's current president, on the Spectrum blog, recently boasted about having sex with another man. Kinship is no longer simply a "safe place" for GLBTQ people. It has become a marketing platform for homosexuality: Sex is great… but attractions are ultimately about love and then whatever results from that love. Floyd Poenitz comment on Spectrum article “An Adventist physician examines same-sex attraction.” April 29, 2026. When Floyd refers to "whatever happens from there" it reminded me of a guy who hit on me in the laundry room at Andrews University. He invited me to his home to listen to music, hug, and "see where it goes from there." There was an implied threat of violence in my response. Now some people will lament the unChristian attitude of an implied threat of violence. They are ok with a guy looking to get sodomized and perform oral sex on another [young] man? Violence is generally eschewed by Christians but so is homosexuality. I'm not advocating violence against the gay community. The less sanctified, however, might experience that as a gut level response. Hiking around the high desert, I immediately killed rattlesnakes when I saw them, It was a gut level reaction, like swatting at a mosquito buzzing in my ear or killing cockroaches. Real brotherly love leads to prayer, praise, and God's word, not homoeroticism. On another occasion, I was fooling around in W. Hollywood one evening. I happened into a shop which sold products for gay sex. These included special lubricants and might have included devices to mitigate the physical damage caused by homosexual activity. I said to the proprietor that I understood brotherly love but thought the gay community was taking it too far. He responded "~This isn't about love, its pure lust."
