I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33 )

Demoralize Easter

 

Transgender Visibility Day Celebrations
Transgender Visibility Day Celebration 
Today Society is doing their very best to Demoralize Easter.  This is Sad that the LGBQ Community  “ Knowingly & Wittingly“ decided to have their Day of Celebration on Easter. To my last knowledge there is 365 days in a year with only a couple that would aggravate the Christian Community. Even though Easter doesn’t always fall on March 31st, there is a very great chance it will fall on or About Holy Week every year.  Heck Labor Day, maybe even 4th of July, any day but Easter time. Yes, they done it and they are proud. They are adding a day of celebration. I looked around the Net and there is a lot of city’s hosting a Trans Day Celebration on Easter, President Joe Biden even made this time around Easter the official Transgender Day of Visibility! Dear Lord,  they do not know what they are doing, forgive them!

Our diverse society, there is individuals, groups, Federal, State, local and City Municipalities who are demoralizing and belittle the beliefs of Christians. This is the beginning, a news article from The Washington Examiner just reported Fairfax County VA are designating Easter as the Official Transgender Visibility Day! Not just March 31st.

Quote Chairman Jeff McKay, a Democrat of Fairfax County, He said, “As an elected official, it should be our moral responsibility to stand up for all people that we represent, not just the people we like or the people we agree with. Don’t you love the word he used Moral Responsibility. Society sure is making EVIL Look Good.

Joe Biden in my opinion is a EVIL MAN , either Knowing or Unknowing or by the hand of the Devil, he has done it.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.  I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.  (The White House )

Why did Jesus come to Earth from the Heavens?

 


Rejoice as he has resin!
   Easter, A time to celebrate our salvation. God Has risen as the everlasting stand of time that Jesus died for us and his resurrection as proof, he was God and not just a prophet. As some of you may know the bible is made up of many books written by several authors over a vast period. I was reading the book of Job, I’ve never read it before, I’ve made it about a quarter way through and read one of the passages Chapter 9 Verse 33. In Jobs Plea he says this. 
 If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us                    together.

This encouraged me to dig into this verse a little bit. If you do not know about Job, he was a faithful servant of God before Christ of Course. God gave the devil dominion over him telling the devil he is a faithful servant, and he will not turn. The Devil took everything from him, you may say he did evil deeds against Job! but he never rebuked God. The book was written way before the coming of Christ, however I believe this is like a prophecy in its own why God came to Earth and setup Jesus as our mediator for our sins. This is my theory and my belief why God came to Earth, However I’m no Biblical Scholar but far from it, just want to get it out there for you.

The New Testament Timothy writes in Chapter 2:5-6. "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all …" Job, centuries before the birth of the Messiah, knew he was in need of a Savior, a Mediator; and he longed for Jesus.

The authorship and exact date of the Book of Job are not definitively known. Scholars generally agree that it was written between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE. Theories on the author range from a Jewish sage to a prophet, but there is no consensus. Some even speculate that Moses could have been the author, but this remains a hypothesis without concrete evidence. The Book of Job is part of the Ketuvim, or "Writings," section of the Hebrew Bible and addresses the theme of theodicy, which is the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil.

Injustice Because of our Faith


 Good Morning, I wanted to tell you about this article, it’s important to know, because this will give the liberal states free range to come in your home and take your child if you do not wish to identify with the child’s school indoctrination on changing their sex from birth. The funny part is that I was reading a fiction book the other day, the book was written, really when the woke era began. Giving the same scenario, in my mind I didn’t think it would ever happen, however boy was I wrong! If you are a Christian, the bible clearly rejects the woke movement and by faith we cant give in. The Christian Post reported this article this morning.  The Supreme Court has decided not to intervene in a case involving a trans-identified child and their Catholic parents. The decision effectively allows the lower court's ruling, which permitted the removal of the child from their parents' home, to stand. This outcome has sparked a variety of responses from different communities and raises questions about religious freedom, parental rights, and the rights of trans-identified individuals. The good book says to us: I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (Romans 16:17-20 ESV)

 

Prayer for the family

Dear Lord, In Your grace, I pray for all who have been touched by injustice. Let those experience’s mold them a pilar of strength and not into bitterness, shine your light on them like a beacon of light for hope and resilience.

Amen.

The Easter Bunny and New Life

There is a lot of Mystery around the Easter Bunny. We all know the rabbit, its mating practices and the many offsprings. With that said The Easter Bunny is a symbol of life with its fertility. There is a lot of medieval folklore regarding the Easter Bunny. Over time, the Easter Bunny became a cultural symbol of the holiday, especially for children, and the tradition of the Easter egg hunt became a popular Easter activity However, my opinion will always remain, Jesus saved us and gave us new life. As the liberals and the atheists spin it, just like the media we see today spinning. Christians are celebrating a Pagan Holiday, however that’s far from the case.  The church was a little sneaky they wanted to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and make it known to all. The days they chosen falls on a lot of Pagan Holidays in a attempt convert the Pagan’s Here is what I have learned.

A little History: The early Christian associations with fertility, new life, and spring were later woven into Christian traditions, making the Easter Bunny a symbol of the resurrection and new life celebrated during Easter. The tradition of the Easter Bunny hiding eggs is believed to have been brought to America by German immigrants in the 1700s, and it has since become a staple of Easter celebrations. The incorporation of the Easter Bunny into Easter celebrations by the church is rooted in the early Christian missionaries' strategy to convert pagan populations. In the 13th century, the church found it easier to convert people by allowing them to retain some of their pre-Christian traditions.

The Easter Bunny, originally associated with the pagan goddess Eostre, a symbol of fertility and spring, was woven into Christian traditions to make the teachings of Jesus Christ more amenable to converts. This blending of traditions was particularly effective during the time when Christianity was spreading across Europe. The missionaries encouraged the integration of ancient celebrations with Christian festivities, especially when both festival calendars coincided. This approach allowed for a smoother transition for the populace, who could continue to observe their traditional practices while gradually adopting Christian beliefs.

Here's a brief overview of the Pagan Holidays:

Neolithic and Iron Age Europe: Hares were given ritual burials alongside humans, suggesting a religious significance associated with rebirth.

Classical Antiquity: In Greek tradition, hares were sacred to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and often symbolized unquenchable desire.

Medieval Folklore: The hare was connected to Easter in England and Germany, where traditions included Easter egg hunts and the consumption of hare meat during Easter.

Eostre and Ostara: The Easter Bunny is linked to the goddess Eostre, a deity of spring or renewal in Anglo-Saxon England, and Ostara in Germany. The hare was a symbol of this goddess, who was celebrated during the vernal equinox.
