What is an idol? An idol could be anything from money to lust to knowledge.
It teaches in 1 Corinthians 8:1 that “concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people.
Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.
But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience;”
We are taught some limits concerning the rights of a believer. We may eat of any animal regardless if it is Kosher or not.
However, we are not to drink the life blood of the animal, or food polluted by idols.
If you ever suspect your food has been tampered with, simply say the name of the Father over it, and it will be blessed.
However, if you do not pronounce the name of Allah over your food, you will surely be condemned for eating food polluted by idols.
“He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Mild drinks have long been banned in the Church of Latter Day Saints. According to their doctrine, beer and tea or coffee go against “The Word of Wisdom.”
“The Lord revealed in the Word of Wisdom that the following substances are harmful:
Tea and coffee (see Doctrine and Covenants 89:9; latter-day prophets have taught that the term “hot drinks,” as written in this verse, refers to tea and coffee).”
Are mild drinks really that harmful?
First of all, the term “hot drinks” refers only to tea or coffee that is HOT! It also applies to HOT chocolate.
“What gave rise to the idea that hot drinks could increase esophageal cancer risk?
The theory has been that hot liquids such as coffee or tea could destroy the inner lining of the esophagus, requiring the cells to continually regenerate. During this process, there is a greater chance that something can go wrong and turn normal cells into cancer cells.”
Furthermore, coffee has generally been recognized as a natural anti-depressant. And tea has so many benefits such as antioxidants or amino acids like L-Theanine. This compound is a powerful stress reducer. It blocks cortisol and helps to focus the mind’s attention.
Hot liquids may be harmful to your throat. Yes, however when iced there is NO reason NOT to drink it. Although tea and coffee have caffeine in them, so does Pepsi, and LDS permits their members to drink Pepsi, or even energy drinks.
What About Alcohol?
Liquor has long been associated with liver disease. But what about wine or beer? Moderate intake of wine has actually been shown to be beneficial due to the riboflavin in grapes. However, even wine has a higher alcohol content than beer. So, beer must be the least harmful of all popular alcoholic drinks.
Therefore, beer is considered a “mild drink” in many parts of Europe. It is common in Germany to have a beer at lunch. Many workplaces even have beer vending machines.
Having a few beers is not going to cause liver disease. However, it will help you relax and enjoy life…
Findings Suggest Caffeine May Reduce Parkinson’s Risk by 40 Percent
“Your morning cup of joe may be doing more than just giving you an energy boost to tackle the day. New evidence suggests that the caffeine in your brew could pack an extra punch by reducing your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.”
“The neuroprotective effects were exposure-dependent, with the highest consumption group having nearly 40 percent lower Parkinson’s risk compared to non-coffee drinkers.”
All too often, it seems that Americans commercialize Christmas more than any other society on Earth.
I tried looking up some Jars of Clay songs for Christmas, to put in my playlist. First, I started on YouTube, which told me that only 2 out of 12 songs would be played unless I disabled my Ad Blocker. So, I disabled it and was immediately bombarded by advertisements for everything from a portable tire inflation device to pet food commercials.
YouTube purposefully put these advertisements in for Christmas it seems, as they have a new policy on ad blockers now suddenly.
Truth be told, I invented YouTube in 1998.
So, I’m not too happy about it going completely commercial with their advertisements or YouTube red. I understand they need to pay royalties, however YT survived for many years without advertising, why is it so necessary now???
Back in 1998 I launched an adult media group. I was 15 years old, running websites out of my mom’s basement.
The first year I made $6,500. The second year I made $21,000. The third year I again made at least $5,000.
So, I was no chump. I knew the power of online streaming video! I figured if we could get a database of videos, that anyone could add to, and have them streaming through the browser, it would be revolutionary. And it was.
Anyways, enough ranting. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
P.S. I don’t know who else saw This, but I thought it was very provocative. There should be peace in Palestine right now, but because of the hatred in this world, there now is no celebration of Christmas this year in Bethlehem. Instead, there is Rubble and Barbed Wire. I urge you all to pray for peace in the middle east this Christmas. Also, for peace in Ukraine and Russia, as it seems like that war may be winding down… we ask our Lord, the Prince of Peace to intervene and help negotiate a peace treaty.
Who is GOD? While I was on my many travels around the country, I met a young black man that had a sincere interest in religion. So I talked to him for a while, and told him about well, how God’s name used to be Elohim. He laughed, and said that’s not what he meant… and that I kept calling him “God.”
GOD stands for Governor Of Democracy. God is actually a politician. He is secular, but demands the prestige of being followed by those in politics. Whether he’s the President of the United States, or comprised of many Governors of the 50 states, is up for debate. Congress is technically made up of the people. And after being in congress for a while, many politicians go on to the Senate… getting closer to the presidency. Judges are supposed to be purely secular, only enforcing the law.
So what exactly is the name of the Creator? The one who made us? This world? This universe?
If I address “God” in prayer, will the creator answer me?
Unfortunately, not.
When Jesus taught us to pray. He said to do it like this…
“Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done. On Earth, as it is in Heaven. Please, give us our daily bread. Forgive our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil.”
Never does Jesus use the name “God.” That is a political institution or familiar spirits that administer to a person’s co-dependance. This relationship forms when we are young, however by the time we are 25 we fully mature. Set in our ways.
That doesn’t mean the Power of the Holy Spirit cannot be used to work miracles! Address your Father in Heaven, and submit to him!
However, do not call on the westernized religion of some sort of political “GOD” or “Governor Of Democracy.”
If you are Christian, you should be using name of Jesus or Immanuel or simply “Christ.”
Can you use other names? Possibly, such as Elohim and Allah and Yahweh.
But NOT Yeshua. Jesus spoke Aramaic as everyone did in his geopolitical location at the time… many people considered Jesus to be a gentile, not Jewish. Many people take offense to the name Yeshua, because it is calling him a Jew, which who were actually the people that murdered Jesus. Pontius Pilate did everything he could to save Jesus’ life, however when Jesus was brought out before the Jewish people, they cried out for them to “crucify him!”
So if you pray to God, you mind as well use his real name…
The evangelical right has lost their footing. Reeling with damage from the Trump administration. It is antiestablishmentarianism in a formal, and really good looking suit.
Let Trump speak for the Prophet. I would like to see what he has to say. Trump will be receiving my vote in 2024.
Why? It’s justice. Real justice. Not the Jack Smith kind.
I would love to see Trump back in the Whitehouse soon. We need him in Ukraine and China and North Korea and Iran and Israel. We need a real man of God, not a “Governor Of Democracy” but a real and true Prophet of the Lord. Is Trump up for the job? I think so…
Allah is the creator, the Father of our Father Abraham, is “God of the Worlds.”
Who is Allah?
Allah is repeatedly described as all-merciful and all-powerful.
He represents the Father that Jesus portrayed.
All of the miracles that Jesus did were to glory the Father.
Even Jesus confessed that Allah was much greater than He.
What does this mean?
God took up humanity to bring into Heaven. He placed Man above the Angelic hosts of hosts.
Who is the Child that leads the Lion to lay with The Lamb, but Jesus himself. When God, Jesus, took up humanity, he did it in humility.
You are NOT Jesus. Someday, maybe you’ll be able to walk through walls. But for now, you cannot. This is part of the revelation that Islam imposes on Christianity, to learn their limits. You cannot fly. You jump from the airplane, you will plummet with or without a parachute.
This is fact. Science. Law.
If you’re the type of believer that goes around calling herself a princess of Jesus and that you’re also married to Jesus, does that mean Jesus married his daughter?
