Let's consider a Happier Time. Historically.
Hippies!
They are serious. And they are intent on Significant, Substantial and Big Change.
The Words spoken are not going to put them in jail or nationally targeted. Because they don't have Covid Pandemic Medical or Emotionally Challenged Pandemic Brain.
Last week on January 6th, we embarked on a week filled with highly emotional shock, anger, fear, and anguish.
The only scenes bring tears to my face, was the first set of Capital Guards chatting amicably with protesters at the door. It seemed to be working. Like a vastly, overly tall Lego tower. And then an initial rush of people who stood in awe of the Capital Rotunda going with cell phones held high proudly, quietly moving like bird murmuration.
Lambs. Turkeys looking up in the rain. Disaster. So incredibly in trouble. Shoulda woulda shoulda stayed well outside. Oh my God, oh man. Covid Brain. Medical or Emotionally Challenged.
And then I was so mad at the BBC. This situation is like a triple Onion. There are so many levels of emotions. And the BBC grabbed up the American anger and put a pretty and easy label of bad this and bad that.
Let's look at some onion layers.
Anger, Distrust, Civil Liberties, MISTAKE, Horrible, 4 Levels of Police Protection in D.C. who have one job to do - protect and serve in scheduled times of Protest (like the Night of Presidential Nomination), and the failure of police assigned to show up in even representative numbers, (Why?) Then 85 Million Angry Americans about Funny Business new ways of Covid Voting. No Day in Court to show full examination of the New Funny Business Voting. News bait of the idiots who will say the worst things, without the power to accomplish the worst things and get attention. Severe fear, anger and reprisal of people who had their lives at risk. ANGER.
Horror, clickbait and puffs of wind.
In fact, take note, the Leaders of Congress are dismissive.
Creating more horror by clickbaits to see nut jobs are the ones getting bite clips in the news. In reality, their unreasonable rhetoric is not allowing them any more power in the United States Congress. Take note, the leaders of Congress are dismissive. Their comments do not elevate them. Please stay clear of their pothole.
"Not" Helping.
However, this is inflammatory and unuseful commentary about vengeful anyone is creating more distrust and anger. About what you see after Pandemic. Not helping Covid Brain from medical and emotional distress time to heal. Recognize the people with threats do not have the power to establish their lack of compassion words.
If you don't like Twitter, don't use it.
Twitter will see profit failure and then Twitter will either fail or change. It's the Business World. Let's not be overly dramatic about Twitter. Facebook is allowing opinions shared and doesn't want the backlash of Twitter. Boycott and Peaceful decisions keep the whole Life moving.
Technology. The Thing about having massive TV stations and Hollywood.
The times they are a changing. The non-famous and the start-ups are creating alternatives. Edward and I were discussing how we laughed when remote controls came out. Gee, if you can't walk over to the TV and change the 4 stations and adjust the volume - how lazy are you. History. Now you'd have to dial through a million channels. If you don't want to watch rhetoric. Change the Station, the provider, the truth is all of the media is changing.
Rupert Murdoch has been in business for years and has a Strong clue about American viewpoints. Murdoch knows the political direction. And will stay in Business. He is Liberal, and he deals with owning Disney and Fox News. He is changing up Fox News back to the viewer Viewpoint. Why? Rupert Murdoch has an idea how to stay in business. He isn't going to tell 85 Million Viewers - toughskie lucskie. Smart, smart, smart. Murdoch is like the Secretary of State. He knows how to stay alive in tough times and keep the liberals and the conservatives in the middle and talking. This is called making the American Republic stay alive. Google and YouTube are also keeping the conversation going instead of lockdown.
And if we keep the conversation alive with polite consideration, perhaps the DC Police are going to be assigned to the Presidential Nomination and the January 6th Planned Demonstration at the United States Capital.
So far this year, The White House, The United States Congress, several State Capitals, Storefront Owners and the Police and Police Stations have seen terrible, fearsome, gruesome Historically live wire Pandemic Brain.
Sit down and shut up is not the American Conversation of Protect and Serve The United States of America Republic.
Last week, I was really, really upset with many things and one of them, as I said, was the BBC. Yesterday the BBC decided with significant cooler, rational temperature to find out what this clamor is all about. Not a label of "bad, bad, bad, bad." The BBC did not go with sound bites and did investigative and mature collective reasoning into the Onion of situations in the USA Politically. It was fair and it was reasonable. Not inflammatory. A conversation for all going forth of sincere hope the Republic of the USA continues.
Remember in the Spring of 2020, The BBC did an investigative article on what the brain looks like
with Covid.
COVID
Not being American, the BBC did not include the lyrics, "One of these Brains is not like the Other." With the Refrain: "One of these Brains is not like the Other."
What is going to happen with Wild Comments of Power Unobtainable and Threats?
C 1120 B.C.
(Counting back from Pharaoh Seti II and his mention in Salt Papyrus 124 with "Mosey" his brother and the Tale of Two Brothers)
During the First Century AD, this Chapter came to be major discussion during the First Century A.D.
This was considered similar to Mary, Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ. For me, I'm reminded of Marie Antoinette gaining the whole world to lose her soul and forfeit her children.It's important to note The Time of Judges was Chaos. Judges typically didn't last even six years. Jephthah didn't last either.
Judges 11
11 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. 2 And Gilead's wife also bore him sons. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.” 3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob, and worthless fellows collected around Jephthah and went out with him.
4 After a time the Ammonites made war against Israel. 5 And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob. 6 And they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the Ammonites.” 7 But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Did you not hate me and drive me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?” 8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the Ammonites and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.” 9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me home again to fight against the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them over to me, I will be your head.” 10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The Lord will be witness between us, if we do not do as you say.” 11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before the Lord at Mizpah.
12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites and said, “What do you have against me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?” 13 And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel on coming up from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably.” 14 Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites 15 and said to him, “Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites, 16 but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh. 17 Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let us pass through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.
18 “Then they journeyed through the wilderness and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab. 19 Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to our country,’ 20 but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel. 21 And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country. 22 And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan. 23 So then the Lord, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them? 24 Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess. 25 Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them? 26 While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time? 27 I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me. The Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon.” 28 But the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the words of Jephthah that he sent to him.
Jephthah's Tragic Vow
29 Then the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites. 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will give the Ammonites into my hand, 31 then whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites shall be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.” 32 So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the Lord gave them into his hand. 33 And he struck them from Aroer to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a great blow. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.
34 Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah. And behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances. She was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 And as soon as he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me. For I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I cannot take back my vow.” 36 And she said to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the Lord; do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, now that the Lord has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites.” 37 So she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may go up and down on the mountains and weep for my virginity, I and my companions.” 38 So he said, “Go.” Then he sent her away for two months, and she departed, she and her companions, and wept for her virginity on the mountains. 39 And at the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow that he had made. She had never known a man, and it became a custom in Israel 40 that the daughters of Israel went year by year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
The majority opinion is Jephthah killed his daughter as an act of human sacrifice. GOD did not favorably look upon this murderous ideal. There is, however, a minority opinion that Jephthah's daughter spent the rest of her life in seclusion.
You'd have to wonder because it's not "exactly" recorded what conclusion the rash, unwise father "exactly" did. Hmm. Lean to mercy.
The point being comments are important. Even during Covid.
Jacob Blesses His Sons. c 1450 B.C.
(Counting back from Thutmose III recording the Goshen the first time in Egypt's Tax History)
What is going to create more Emotional Upset, terrible Brain waves, than discovering all your children, 11 sons and 1 Daughter of Jacob, concealed Joseph was alive. And, add into this, almost losing his son Benjamin during the process. Scriptures never once record anything remotely looking like an apology. Ruben is the only son who tried to help his father Jacob to maintain Joseph's life. But Ruben has slept with his father's wife. In the middle of what God has called the Righteousness of Israel - this is The Situation.
Jacob decides he is going to Bless the Family and Continue the conversation with all the errant children. The Blessings of the 12 Sons, presumably his daughter had died, includes honesty and forgiveness. Not denial. A clear look at all the Situations of this mess.
Never forget Israel is here today for the Blessing of Forgiveness and the Way forward in the trust required of truthful speech.
1 Corinthians 16
Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
5 I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10 When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.
13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Now I urge you, brothers—you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints— 16 be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. 17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus because they have made up for your absence, 18 for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.
19 The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. 20 All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Ghandi once said he liked our Christ, but not our Christians.
Pal, Ghandi didn't know his Christian Bible. 1 Corinthians proves that. And he didn't see the future, Peace arrived with the help of the Christian UK Empire. Peaceful negotiations. So Christians are likeable.
Christians are real people and messy.
Mostly this wouldn't be considered a Corinth to Paul, peace and success story. And we find like Jacob, as Father God, we find Love and Care.
Paraphrased from United States Conference Catholic Bishops.
Paul’s First Letter to the Church of Corinth provides us a fuller insight into the early Christian community life more than any other book of the New Testament.
Paul, founded the community and continued to look after it as a father
He responds both to questions and situations addressed to him. He reveals much about himself, teaching, and the Way Paul conducted his work of apostleship.
Some things are puzzling because we have the correspondence only in one direction. For the person studying this letter, it seems to raise as many questions as it answers, but without it our knowledge of church life in the middle of the first century would be much poorer.
Paul established a Christian community in Corinth about the year 51
His second missionary journey. The city, a commercial crossroads, was a melting pot full of devotees of various pagan cults and marked by a measure of moral depravity not unusual in a great seaport.
The Acts of the Apostles reveals moderate success for Paul’s efforts among the Jews in Corinth at first, but that they soon turned against him (Acts 18:1–8).
More fruitful, his year and a half spent among the Gentiles (Acts 18:11), which won to the faith many of the city’s poor and underprivileged (1 Cor 1:26).
After Paul's departure the eloquent Apollos, an Alexandrian Jewish Christian, rendered great service to the community, expounding “from the scriptures that the Messiah is Jesus” (Acts 18:24–28).
The Good Times were in peril, quickly.
While Paul was in Ephesus on his third journey (1 Cor 16:8; Acts 19:1–20), he received disquieting news about Corinth.
The community was in open factionalism, i.e. bad shape.
Members were identifying themselves exclusively with individual Christian leaders and interpreting Christian teaching as superior wisdom for the initiated few (1 Cor 1:10–4:21). Gnosis. The community lacked decisiveness when one of its members who was living publicly in an incestuous union (1 Cor 5:1–13). Other members engaged in legal conflicts in pagan courts of law (1 Cor 6:1–11); still others may have participated in religious prostitution (1 Cor 6:12–20) or temple sacrifices (1 Cor 10:14–22).
The community’s Ills
In the celebration of the Eucharist, certain members discriminated against others. Drank too freely at the agape, or fellowship meal, and denied Christian social courtesies to the poor among the membership (1 Cor 11:17–22). Charisms such as ecstatic prayer, attributed freely to the impulse of the Holy Spirit, were more highly prized than works of charity (1 Cor 13:1–2, 8), and were used at times in a disorderly way (1 Cor 14:1–40). Women appeared at the assembly without the customary head-covering (1 Cor 11:3–16), and perhaps were quarreling over their right to address the assembly (1 Cor 14:34–35).
Paul had to deal concerned matters of conscience
The eating of meat sacrificed to idols (1 Cor 8:1–13), the use of sex in marriage (1 Cor 7:1–7), and the attitude to be taken by the unmarried toward marriage *1 Cor 7:25–40). Then calling for Paul’s attention, for some members of the community, despite their belief in the resurrection of Christ, were denying the possibility of general bodily resurrection. Heaven itself was in question.
Paul the Loving, Father.
Paul wrote this letter from Ephesus year 56.
The majority of the Corinthian Christians may well have been quite faithful.
Paul writes on their behalf. He writes with confidence in the authority of his apostolic mission. Paul presumes the Corinthians, despite their deficiencies, will Spiritually Triumph in Jesus Christ. Paul does not hesitate to exercise his authority as his judgment in each situation, even going so far as to promise a direct confrontation (1 Cor 4:18–21).
God, Jacob and Paul. Our Call to go forth.
The Bible Well, Soundly and With Love tells the mind and character of Paul.
Paul recognizes that he is only one servant of God among many and generously acknowledges the labors of Apollos (1 Cor 3:5–8). He provides us in this letter with many valuable examples of his method of theological reflection and exposition. He always treats the questions at issue on the level of the purity of Christian teaching and conduct.
Was this Word of God Successful and Fruitful?
Timothy was a young, young person. And Timothy lived to be old age. In 1945, the full remains of Timothy, were found marked and discovered from year 1239 in Termoli Cathedral, in Termoli, in the province of Campobasso, central Italy.
