What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality? ~ ????????

“Mark Well the Ravens.” Michael Burnett, a class instructor and former missionary, delivered the talk with the above title. 
He said that we are going to have anxious thoughts on occasion.
But remember Jesus' counsel: “Mark well that the ravens neither sow seed nor reap, . . . and yet God feeds them.” (Luke 12:24)
According to the Law covenant, ravens were unclean, not fit to be eaten. They were to be considered loathsome. (Leviticus 11:13, 15)
In spite of their status, God feeds them. “So if you are confronted with major anxiety in the future,” said Brother Burnett, “think about the raven.
If God takes care of an unclean, loathsome bird, how much more so is he going to take care of you who are clean in his eyes.”

"their letters of God"
Violet is a crippled sister of 82 years who lives in Christchurch, New Zealand.
She regularly sends out letters and publications to nursing homes and palliative care units of his region.
The nurses at home who make the factrices tell that residents aged feverishly awaiting what they call "their letters of God". Some people read their letters and their publications and trade them in there, or do the reading out loud to those who see evil.
The nurses are also saying that the residents who read these letters and these publications are more calm, more positive and more peaceful than the others. Violet explains his initiative: " I have the feeling that Jehovah uses me always to help my next.
It's really challenging to make known the truth in this way. "

“Jehovah is my Shepherd”—is that not a fitting description of our heavenly Father? ~ ??????
“Jehovah is my Shepherd. I shall lack nothing.”— (PSALM 23:1)
Jehovah leads his people. David writes: “In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; by well-watered resting-places he conducts me. My soul he refreshes. He leads me in the tracks of righteousness for his name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:2, 3) 
??????
“I Fear Nothing Bad, for You Are With Me”
David gives a second reason for his confidence: Jehovah protects his sheep. We read: “Even though I walk in the valley of deep shadow, I fear nothing bad, for you are with me; your rod and your staff are the things that comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4) 
??????
There are times when we may, so to speak, “walk in the valley of deep shadow.” For example, we may come close to death as a result of persecution or some health crisis. Or it may be that someone dear to us comes close to or even succumbs to death. During what seem to be the darkest moments, our Shepherd is with us, and he will safeguard us. How?
??????
Jehovah does not promise miraculous intervention.* But of this we can be sure: Jehovah will help us to get through whatever obstacles we may face. He can grant us the wisdom to cope “with various trials.” (James 1:2-5) A shepherd uses his rod or staff not only to ward off predators but also to nudge his sheep in the right direction. 
??????
Jehovah can “nudge” us, perhaps by means of a fellow worshipper, to apply Bible-based counsel that may make a big difference in our situation. In addition, Jehovah can give us the strength to endure. (Philippians 4:13) 
??????
By means of his holy spirit, he can equip us with “power beyond what is normal.” (2 Corinthians 4:7) God’s spirit can enable us to endure any test that Satan might bring upon us. (1 Corinthians 10:13) Is it not comforting to know that Jehovah is ever ready to help us?
??????
Yes, no matter what dark valley we may find ourselves in, we do not have to walk through it alone. Our Shepherd is with us, helping us in ways that we may not fully perceive at first. - Bible Speaks -

Lesson for today. (John 17:3) “Why, Lord, Did You Remain Silent?” THESE were the words of Pope Benedict XVI, who visited the former concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland, on May 28, 2006. 
At the site where the Nazis killed hundreds of thousands of Jews and others, he added: “How many questions arise in this place! 
Constantly the question comes up: Where was God in those days? Why was he silent? How could he permit this endless slaughter, this triumph of evil? . . . We must continue to cry out humbly yet insistently to God: Rouse yourself! Do not forget mankind, your creature!” The pope’s speech gave rise to animated reactions. Some detected revealing omissions, such as his failure to mention the anti-Semitism that was associated with atrocities at Auschwitz. 
Others read into his words an attempt to play down the request of Pope John Paul II for forgiveness of sins that the church committed. 
A Catholic journalist, Filippo Gentiloni, observed: “It was, however, logical that many commentators when confronted with the difficult question regarding where God was—a question without an answer—instead requested an answer to the easier question: Where was Pius XII?” The commentators were referring to Pope Pius XII’s silence during the Holocaust. The Holocaust and all the other acts of genocide committed throughout human history prove that “man has dominated man to his injury.” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) 
Furthermore, man’s Creator has not been silent in the face of so much horror. Through the pages of the Bible, he has revealed his reasons for allowing wickedness. God has also assured us that he has not forgotten mankind. In fact, the time period during which God has permitted man to rule himself will soon come to an end. (Jeremiah 10:23)

Egypt is referred to over 700 times in the Bible. What do you know about it? ~
???????
In the Hebrew Scriptures, Egypt is often designated by the name Mizraim, evidently pointing to the prominence of the descendants of that son of Ham who settled in this region (Ge 10:6)
???????
The Egyptians in the days of Joseph were favorably disposed towards the Israelites, but as their numbers increased, they cruelly oppressed them, eventually imposing conditions of slavery.
???????
This situation existed for centuries until Jehovah provided deliverance through Moses.
???????
After the Exodus, hostilities continued. For example, shortly after Solomon's death, Pharaoh Shishak invaded Judah (993 BCE) with a mighty force of chariots, attacking Jerusalem and stripping the city of its treasures (2 Ch 12 : 1 - 12)
???????
During later periods, the Judean Kings forgot about the previous centuries of aggression and hostility, forming unwise alliances with Egypt ... which did nothing to delay Jehovah's judgement upon them.
???????
Egypt is mentioned as part of the realm of the symbolic “king of the south.” (Da 11:5, 8, 42, 43) At Revelation 11:8 unfaithful Jerusalem, where the Lord Jesus Christ was impaled, is “in a spiritual sense” called Egypt. This is appropriate when we consider that unfaithful Jerusalem religiously oppressed and enslaved the Jews. Also, the first Passover victims were slain in Egypt, while the antitypical Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ, was killed at Jerusalem.

“Truly I say to YOU, If only YOU have faith and do not doubt, not only will YOU do what I did to the fig tree, but also if YOU say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and cast into the sea,Â’ it will happen. 22 And all the things YOU ask in prayer, having faith, YOU will receive.”
How Strong is your Faith? - Can you Move that Mountian?
Faith enables Christians to cope with any difficulties. Jesus told his disciples that if they had “faith the size of a mustard grain,” nothing would be impossible for them. (Matthew 17:20) 
In that way, he stressed the power of faith, a fruit of holy spirit. Jesus thus emphasized, not what humans, but what GodÂ’s spirit, or active force, can do. Those guided by it do not make molehill-size obstacles and problems into mountains. Applying the wisdom that GodÂ’s spirit imparts helps them to keep things in proper perspective. Even serious problems shrivel when subjected to the sustaining power of faith.
(Matthew 21:21-22) . . .In answer Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to YOU, If only YOU have faith and do not doubt, not only will YOU do what I did to the fig tree, but also if YOU say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And all the things YOU ask in prayer, having faith, YOU will receive.”
(Mark 11:22-25) 22 And in reply Jesus said to them: “Have faith in God. 23 Truly I say to YOU that whoever tells this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but has faith that what he says is going to occur, he will have it so. 24 This is why I tell YOU, All the things YOU pray and ask for have faith that YOU have practically received, and YOU will have them. 25 And when YOU stand praying, forgive whatever YOU have against anyone; in order that YOUR Father who is in the heavens may also forgive YOU YOUR trespasses.. . .
How was it possible for him to surmount such mountainlike barriers and successfully accomplish God’s will for him? “For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me,” Paul wrote. This was “that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not that out of ourselves.” (Philippians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 4:7) Thus, Paul had implicit trust in Jehovah’s ability to fortify him at the critical moment. He had faith. - Bible Speaks -

The bulla is imprinted with the symbol of a winged sun and an inscription in an ancient Hebrew script, saying: "Belonging to Hezekiah [son of] Ahaz king of Judah".
Another comment from my other site: Interesting!
He was the King of Judea but he also an Assyrian vassal King under Pagan rule and this could be a Seal used by the Assyrians in addressing the Papyrus to King Hezekiah hence the symbol appearing on it.
Quite possibly this is what happened.
Hezekiah’s Mistake and Repentance. The Scripture record states that “according to the benefit rendered him Hezekiah made no return, for his heart became haughty and there came to be indignation against him and against Judah and Jerusalem.” (2Ch 32:25) The Bible does not say whether or not this haughtiness was connected with his unwise act in showing the entire treasure of his house and all his dominion to the messengers of the Babylonian king Berodach-baladan (Merodach-baladan) who were sent to Hezekiah after he recovered from his illness. Hezekiah may have displayed all this wealth to impress the king of Babylon as a possible ally against the king of Assyria. This, of course, could tend to excite the greed of the Babylonians. The prophet Isaiah was against any alliance with or dependence on GodÂ’s age-old enemy Babylon. When Isaiah heard how Hezekiah had treated the Babylonian messengers, he uttered the inspired prophecy from Jehovah that the Babylonians in time would carry away everything to Babylon, including some of HezekiahÂ’s descendants. Hezekiah, however, humbled himself and God kindly allowed that the calamity would not come in his days.—2Ki 20:12-19; 2Ch 32:26, 31; Isa 39:1-8.
Another comment from my other site: Interesting!
He was the King of Judea but he also an Assyrian vassal King under Pagan rule and this could be a Seal used by the Assyrians in addressing the Papyrus to King Hezekiah hence the symbol appearing on it.

Israeli archaeologists say they have found a 2,700-year-old piece of clay inscribed with a biblical king’s seal.
It is thought the oval bulla, which is 13mm (0.5in) wide, was once attached to a papyrus document signed by Hezekiah, one of the kings of Judah.
It was found by a team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at the site of an ancient dump, beside the wall that surrounds JerusalemÂ’s Old City.
It is believed to have been thrown out with the rubbish from a royal building.
The bulla is imprinted with the symbol of a winged sun and an inscription in an ancient Hebrew script, saying: “Belonging to Hezekiah [son of] Ahaz king of Judah”.
Hezekiah, who ruled from 727-698BC, is described favourably in the Bible, as well as in the chronicles of the Assyrian kings, who ruled during his time.
Although he was an Assyrian vassal, he successfully maintained the independent standing of the Judean Kingdom and its capital Jerusalem, which he enhanced economically, religiously, and diplomatically.
“He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him,” says one verse in the second Book of Kings in the Bible.
The bulla was found in 2009, but was put into storage after an initial inspection failed to establish its origin. Only recently did an archaeologist discern what the inscription said.
Eilat Mazar of the Hebrew University of JerusalemÂ’s Institute of Archaeology said the bulla sealed a document written on a papyrus rolled and tied with thin cords, which left their mark on the back.
“This is the first time that a seal impression of an Israelite or Judean king has ever come to light in a scientific archaeological excavation,” she added.

The rise of bloodless medicine: how we treat those who cannot receive blood products for religious reasons or others
To Carlton D. Mill, Joseph J. Shatzel and Thomas G. Deloughery
The Discovery of the characterization of blood and the subsequent ability to infused blood safely has revolutionized medicine and has allowed people to survive lethal bleeding complications related to surgery, traumatic and non-traumatic injuries and even pregnancy.
While the transfusion has been beneficial to many patients, there are persons who, for religious or other reasons, reject blood products. This, in addition to the growing knowledge of certain risks associated with transfusion, has led to innovative approaches to the handling of blood loss.
As a result, among the health institutions, there is an increasing number of "Non-blood medicine" programmes that focus primarily on the best way to pay attention to patients who reject blood-derived products, the most common of which They're Jehovah's witnesses. Our group of medicine recently published our own best practices in several areas relevant to the care of these patients, including and intraoperative management, acute blood loss, trauma, pregnancy and malignancy.
Focus on non-blood
One of the central principles of medicine without bloodshed is to establish the individual beliefs of a person before he enters a situation related to blood loss, more commonly the surgery. However, establishing what a person is willing or unwilling to accept can be difficult. In Modern medical practice, human blood components (including red blood cells, platelets and coagulation proteins) are separated using laboratory techniques in what is known as "fractions" of blood, either of which can be transfused Of a particular patient needs
While there may be general rules regarding transfusion within a given religion, individual members may accept different fractions of blood depending on their own specific beliefs. However, some patients may have little or no knowledge of the blood fractions or the transfusion alternatives available to them. For this reason, patients in our institution can meet with a member of our medical program and an associate member of the religious community (as a representative of Jehovah's witnesses of the local hospital liaison committee) to help analyze the Transfusion. And their alternatives in detail and to help make decisions about acceptable treatments that align with the objectives of that patient.
We and others have suggested that this meeting be conducted in private with the patient only to avoid any coercion from third parties, including family members (patients may also opt to receive transfusions in private). This information on patient preferences can be used to facilitate discussions with surgical equipment, anesthesiology and in order to create a strategy for surgery and post-operative care.
Medical optimisation is also critical. Before surgery, we examine all patients to detect anemia and treat any underlying iron or vitamin deficiency that could be contributing to the decrease in the production of blood cells. If the patient is ready, we can also provide a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) to help increase red blood cell levels, a treatment that is currently approved by the FDA for anaemic patients undergoing certain types of high-risk elective surgery. During surgery, a number of medical, surgical and anesthetic techniques may be implemented which relate to the reduction of bleeding.
What to do during the acute blood loss?
However, it remains particularly challenging when significant acute blood loss occurs, including bleeding that emerges after the operation, as well as traumatic and non-traumatic injuries. As the bleeding progresses, it decreases hemoglobin (a vital protein in red blood cells transporting oxygen to body tissues) and increases the risk of mortality.
Although the minimum haemoglobin required to maintain life is unclear, a Jehovah's witness study that rejected blood products after surgery showed that some patients were able to survive with the least amount of hemoglobin of 2.1-3.0 GRAMS PER DECILITER, which It's about 15-25 % normal. This suggests that even in the context of deep blood loss, transfusions are not the only option for survival.
In Case of acute bleeding, medical care providers must simultaneously search for what blood products they want and do not want to receive a patient (if not known or documented), provide resuscitation (such as intravenous fluids or other medicines to improve blood pressure) , reduce the additional blood loss (including the reduction of blood thinners and investigate the source of bleeding through surgery, images or endoscopy) and reverse any deterioration of the underlying coagulation (such as those related to the use of anticoagulants).
If a patient is willing, we can also provide other products to help stop bleeding, including medicines that inhibit the breakdown of the clot (such as acid, which is particularly beneficial in trauma-related bleeding) as well as derived coagulation factors Of the laboratory (as recombinant factor viia, which is produced from modified hamster cells containing the human coagulation gene, factor vii). Although it has not yet been approved by the FDA, our center also has experience in the use of "Oxygen-based oxygen transporters", which is an artificial blood substitute using hemoglobin derived from bovine animals to help transport the oxygen by the Body.
Pregnancy is another common area where non-blood drugs can provide benefits. Post-partum haemorrhage occurs in about 11 per cent of pregnancies worldwide, and is the main cause of maternal death worldwide, with studies showing that the risk of bleeding mortality is significantly higher for witnesses From Jehovah. Given the increased risk of complications, adequate prenatal preparation is essential at the beginning of pregnancy (generally under the care of an obstetrician familiar with high-risk pregnancies) to help ensure safe birth. This preparation includes appropriate advice, treatment of underlying anaemia and active collaboration with anesthesiologist and haematological.
If a post-partum haemorrhage occurs, it can be treated with intravenous fluids, medicines, repair of lacerations and manoeuvres such as uterine massage. If these measures do not control bleeding, invasive procedures or surgeries may be performed, including hysterectomy as a measure of last resort. Of particular interest, the recently completed woman study, which is a clinical trial of more than 20,000 women with postpartum haemorrhage, found that acid significantly reduces mortality, particularly if it is administered within 3 hours of the start of Bleeding.
Although not associated with the obvious loss of blood, cancer patients can also benefit significantly from drugs without bloodshed. Modern chemotherapy can have impressive healing rates in some cancers if it is aggressively treated. However, this often results in side effects related to chemotherapy, as well as severe anaemia and low platelets, of which patients may require significant transfusions to survive their treatment.
This poses a challenge to those who can potentially be cured but who reject blood products, because modifications to chemotherapy (such as dose reduction), although more tolerable, can compromise the ability to achieve healing; handling these Patients are extremely complex and should be considered on a case-by-Case basis. In patients for whom the purpose of treatment is not curative (i.e. a "palliative" Strategy), we recommend adjusting chemotherapy in such a way that it does not require transfusions. Notably, small studies and reports of patients with cancer of Jehovah's witnesses have reported a favourable response to treatment when they are supplemented by aggressive support measures and tolerance to the court of significant anaemia.
While patients who reject blood products may present significant ethical and medical challenges for health care providers, the risks of harm and death can be significantly reduced with careful and extensive planning. Ideally, this takes place long before an early event related to blood loss or anaemia, including elective surgery, pregnancy and cancer treatment. With progress in our understanding of anaemia and the advent of new medicines, surgical techniques and support support measures (including early detection and careful handling of anaemia), these patients can be successfully treated in a "No-spill" way Of blood ". although some of these novel treatments only have limited data to support their use, these interventions should still be considered if the bleeding threatening life persists despite other measures.
This study, treatment of individuals who cannot receive blood products for religious or other reasons, was recently published by Carlton D. Mill, Joseph J. Shatzel, Thomas G. Deloughery in the American Journal of hematology.

How Can You Keep a Balanced View of Money? – ???
 
 Be Content With Necessities
A contented person is a happy person. This is a universal truth. A Greek proverb says: “Nothing will content him who is not content with a little.” And the Japanese say: “He is poor who does not feel content.” The Bible also speaks in glowing terms of contentment. We read: “To be sure, it is a means of great gain, this godly devotion along with self-sufficiency. For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.”
???
Of course, being content with what we have may require “a big change in attitude.” A young woman named Susanne recently realized that she needed to make such a change. She said: “I made up my mind that since I couldn’t have everything I wanted, I must learn to want what I have. Now I am happy and content.”

Contentment really does lead to happiness. Professor Argir Hadjihristev, a Bulgarian expert on the subject of aging, says: “The basic evil is, first of all, not being content with the little that a person has.” Referring to the health benefits of being content, he adds: “The person who doesn’t try to live better than his neighbor, who doesn’t always try to have more and more, lives without competition and therefore without stress. And that is good for the nerves.” 
Lesson for today. (1 Tim 6:6-8)

"To forgive a person takes love, to forget the wrongdoing takes humility". Serving Jehovah for me is the best way of life.. Hi friends ?

“But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness,will himself finish your training. He will make you firm, he will make you strong.”– (1 Pet 5:8) – ???
We are likened to “earthen vessels”—fragile pots made of clay. (2 Cor. 4:7) 
We are weak because of inherited sin and imperfection. (Rom. 5:12) Left to ourselves, we are vulnerable to Satan’s attacks. But as Christians, we are not without help. 
Despite our weaknesses, we are precious in God’s eyes. (Isa. 43:4) 
Moreover, Jehovah gives holy spirit to those asking him. (Luke 11:13) His spirit can give us “power beyond what is normal,” enabling us to cope with any adversity Satan inflicts on us. (2 Cor. 4:7; Phil. 4:13)
If we take our stand against the Devil, “solid in the faith,” God will make us firm and strong. (1 Pet. 5:8-10) 
Hence, we need not fear Satan the Devil. Even with helpful friends around you in the congregation, you may still find it difficult to cope with daily challenges. What you have to contend with may at times leave you feeling lost, as if you were in a long tunnel of problems. 
That is especially a time for you to turn to Jehovah, asking for his holy spirit. “When I am weak,” wrote the apostle Paul, “then I am powerful.” (Read 2 Corinthians 4:7-10; 12:10.) Paul knew that God’s spirit can make up for human weaknesses, regardless of their nature. Thus, God’s active force can strengthen you whenever you feel weak and in need of help. 
Paul wrote that he could “take pleasure in weaknesses.” It was when he was weak that he felt holy spirit operating on him. You can experience the same feeling! (Rom. 15:13) - Bible Speaks

Armageddon—A Happy Beginning! 
?????????????
THE word “Armageddon” has its origin in the Hebrew expression “Har–Magedon,” or “Mountain of Megiddo.” It is found at Revelation 16:16, which states: “They gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.” Who are assembled to Armageddon, and why?
Just two verses earlier, at Revelation 16:14, we read: “The kings of the entire inhabited earth” are gathered together “to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” Armageddon cannot be just a conflict among earthly nations, since Revelation 16:14 states that “the kings of the entire inhabited earth” form a united front at “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.”
In his inspired prophecy, Jeremiah stated that “those slain by Jehovah” will be scattered “from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth.” (Jeremiah 25:33)
Thus, Armageddon is not a human war confined to a particular location in the Middle East. It is JehovahÂ’s war, and it is global. What about the claim that Armageddon will be a holocaust involving weapons of mass destruction or a collision with a celestial body?
Would a loving God allow such a horrific end to humankind and their home, the earth?
No. He expressly states that he did not create the earth “simply for nothing” but “formed it even to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18; Psalm 96:10)
At Armageddon, Jehovah will not ruin our globe in a cataclysmic conflagration. Rather, he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”—Revelation 11:18.
Since Armageddon is “the war of the great day of God the Almighty,” there is nothing that humans can do to postpone it. Jehovah has set an “appointed time” for that war to start. “It will not be late.”—Habakkuk 2:3. - Bible Speaks -
