  • Queer Theory: What Does God Say About Homosexuality and Pedophilia?

    And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
    Mark 9:42

    Due to character limitations, I cannot list all of the Bible references to what God says about pedophilia, but you can reference all of them at the link below:
    https://www.openbible.info/topics/pedophiles

    The Bible provides God’s blueprint for marriage and for His good gift of sex in Genesis 2:24. The gift is only to be enjoyed within a marriage between a man and a woman.

    There are no exceptions suggested, such as homosexual partnerships. From Genesis on, the Bible praises the marriage of a man and a woman, but it speaks only negatively of homosexual behavior whenever it is mentioned.

    The Old Testament states, “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable” (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13). The New Testament agrees, listing “homosexual offenders” among a list of people who “will not inherit the kingdom of God” unless they are cleansed through Christ (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

    Other passages are Genesis, chapter 19; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; and Jude, verse 7. However, it is important to note that the Bible speaks only of homosexual behavior (which would include lust—choosing to fantasize about behavior), not unchosen feelings. God will not judge a Christian guilty for his or her involuntary feelings.

    Sometimes it is said that the Bible does not record any words of Jesus about homosexuality, and therefore it must be acceptable to God. However, the Bible does not record sayings of Jesus about a number of other specific sins either. When people asked Jesus about marriage, He told them to remember what Genesis said about God’s plan for marriage (Matthew 19:1-12). So, in this sense, Jesus did have something to say about homosexual partnerships. God only blessed sex within the committed marriage relationship of a man and a woman.

  • This shows how ignorant some people are. Maybe if they actually opened their Bibles once in a lifetime, they would know this?

    Had it not been for God blinding Israel, no one but the Jews would have been offered the gift of eternal life.

    The Jews rejected Jesus because God blinded them. Since their release from Babylon, the Jews had been faithful worshippers of God. They knew the law and followed it. They waited expectantly for God's Messiah—a military leader who would herald a new age of prosperity. Something about that mindset made it historically imperative that belief in Jesus should not take hold over the Jewish population. Perhaps it would have curtailed the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles. Or maybe the in-place religious and political leaders would have influenced the budding Christianity too much. Paul says in Romans 9:30-32:

  • The chocolate collected in the fields and eaten
    Today, most of the chocolate we eat comes from farms in Africa, which has a similar equatorial climate to Central and South America.

    West Africa, particularly countries like Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon, is the leading producer of cocoa beans, which are the primary ingredient in chocolate. The region's climate and soil conditions are well-suited for growing cocoa trees, which thrive in the warm, humid conditions found near the equator. Cocoa beans are harvested from these trees and then processed into various forms of chocolate that we enjoy today.

    The history of chocolate dates back to Mesoamerica, where fermented beverages made from cacao seeds were consumed as early as 1900 BCE to 1500 BCE. The Mexica people considered cacao seeds to be a valuable gift from the god of wisdom, Quetzalcoatl, and even used them as a form of currency. Initially, chocolate was prepared as a bitter drink mixed with spices or corn puree and was believed to have aphrodisiac properties and provide strength. Over time, sugar was added to chocolate, and it became popular in Europe, first among the ruling classes and later among the common people. In the 20th century, chocolate became an essential part of the rations for United States soldiers during wars


    The history of chocolate is a fascinating journey that spans thousands of years and involves ancient civilizations, cultural exchange, and evolving tastes. Let’s delve into the rich history of this beloved treat:

    Origins in Mesoamerica:
    Maya and Olmecs: The roots of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Maya and even earlier to the Olmecs of southern Mexico. These civilizations were familiar with cacao trees and their fruit—the pods containing around 40 cacao beans.

    The Olmecs likely used cacao to create a ceremonial drink, although opinions differ on whether they used the beans or just the pulp of the cacao pod.
    Mayan Chocolate: The Maya revered chocolate, using it in celebrations, important transactions, and daily meals. Their chocolate was thick, frothy, and often combined with chili peppers, honey, or water.

    Aztec Adoration: The Aztecs believed that cacao was a divine gift. They enjoyed caffeinated hot or cold chocolate beverages in ornate containers and even used cacao beans as currency. Aztec chocolate, known as “xocolatl,” was considered more valuable than gold. The Aztec ruler Montezuma II was allegedly a fervent chocolate lover, consuming gallons of xocolatl daily for energy and as an aphrodisiac.

    European Transformation:
    Introduction to Europe: European explorers encountered chocolate during their travels in the New World. Initially, it remained a bitter beverage, but its popularity grew among European courts and colonial America.
    Sweet Evolution: Over time, sugar was added to chocolate, transforming it into the sweet, rich-tasting treat we know today. Chocolate became universally loved and widely consumed.

    Modern Era:
    Global Commodity: Chocolate’s journey continued through the centuries, becoming an essential part of our lives. From chocolate bars to truffles, it has become a global commodity enjoyed by people of all ages.
    In summary, chocolate’s history is a blend of ancient rituals, cultural significance, and delightful indulgence—a testament to human creativity and taste.

  • Isaiah 1
    It could have been written for us today!

    1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
    2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
    3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
    4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
    5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
    6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
    7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
    8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
    9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
    10Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
    11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
    12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
    13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
    14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
    15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
    16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
    17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
    18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
    19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
    20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
    21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
    22Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
    23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
    24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
    25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
    26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
    27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
    28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
    29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
    30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
    31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

  • The Name of the Lord Is a Strong Tower
    AMEN! It surely is!


    1 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire;
    He rages against all [a]wise judgment.

    2 A fool has no delight in understanding,
    But in expressing his own heart.

    3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also;
    And with dishonor comes reproach.

    4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;
    The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

    5 It is not good to show partiality to the wicked,
    Or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

    6 A fool’s lips enter into contention,
    And his mouth calls for blows.
    7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
    And his lips are the snare of his soul.
    8 The words of a [b]talebearer are like [c]tasty trifles,
    And they go down into the [d]inmost body.

    9 He who is slothful in his work
    Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

    10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
    The righteous run to it and are [e]safe.
    11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
    And like a high wall in his own esteem.

    12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
    And before honor is humility.

    13 He who answers a matter before he hears it,
    It is folly and shame to him.

    14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness,
    But who can bear a broken spirit?

    15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
    And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

    16 A man’s gift makes room for him,
    And brings him before great men.

    17 The first one to plead his cause seems right,
    Until his neighbor comes and examines him.

    18 Casting lots causes contentions to cease,
    And keeps the mighty apart.

    19 A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city,
    And contentions are like the bars of a castle.

    20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;
    From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.

    21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
    And those who love it will eat its fruit.

    22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
    And obtains favor from the Lord.

    23 The poor man uses entreaties,
    But the rich answers roughly.

    24 A man who has friends [f]must himself be friendly,
    But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
    The Name of the Lord Is a Strong Tower AMEN!
