March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

That I think is the point that people have forgotten. Things didn't use to be this way as you say. People did the various "work" around their house. That was their jobs, to take care of their household and those in it. Build a house, plant food, make clothes and household items that were needed to care for the house.

There wasn't all the carnal trappings of today, such as going to movies, watching tv, shopping for clothes (except the very rich) going on vacations, pension plans, retirements, none of that. Just look at all the various things people buy that they don't need, but simply want because they think it's cool. Look at the money spent on furnishings, decorations, electronics, etc. The biggest cost these days to families is a house, car, and college. Back in the day, all you really needed was a horse, and natural building materials were and are plentiful, but with one BIG catch these days; government regulations.

That is a big problem for people these days too. You can't just buy some land from a person for an agreed price and go about your business. Oh No, you got to jump through all kinds of licenses, permits, titles, driving up the price. Then you got all the zoning regulations that says what you can and can't build, which forces people to use "licensed" contractors. You can't even technically do any wiring in your home because of building permit requirements. And look at the requirements for a foundation! Man, there is just no way around it, you are forced to go by zoning laws, or they tear your house down!

With an interest in architecture rom school, I've over the years studied the cheapest, and most energy efficient ways to build a home, and I've pretty much settled on adobe style construction. Yeah, I'm in a desert, but having research it, that stuff is amazing material and CHEAP. You can do it all yourself, BUT the foundation and electrical work. Some areas may even require a licensed plumber, which is a joke. But anyway, the point is that there is nowhere to build that government doesn't restrict you somehow which costs more money. That wasn't the case back many years ago.

Many of the federal agencies of today didn't exist back before WW2, and yes, far less regulations and such. But we knew it was going to get worse and worse, and so it has.

The "world" has put pressure through social means to force people into thinking they must have a career, etc or they aren't as good as the rest of society. It's classic peer pressure.

But there is NO LAW that says one must have a "job" in the world, but in fact scripture says do the work of an evangalist. HOW you care for your home starts with guiding the house spiritually in the Word, as the household's elder. Then everything else is added on, just as Jesus says, like with the birds of the air.

God takes care of the animals, so why wouldn't He care for us? He does, if we let Him, and we not go running off on our own caught up in "works".

What does scripture say?

"And having food and raiment let us be therewith content." 1 Timothy 6:8 (KJB)

And what is that actually saying? What is "food and raiment"? Well, I believe since we are told to walk in the Spirit, and compare spiritual with spiritual, then we must look at that verse spiritually. So the food (bread of life) is the Word, and the raiment (He is a shield unto them...) is the Word. So I believe that verse is saying having the Word of God, let us be content. We are to "think on these things" which is the Word.

"But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." Luke 12:31 (KJB)
