You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
Matthew 23:26
The Pharisees were like Social Justice Warriors, whitewashing their inner filth with an outward veneer of compassion and justice. Expecting a few good deeds to save you through "karma" is like depositing money at a bank where you don't even have an account. I'm sure someone will benefit, but it won't be you.

But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, "Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?" And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:11-12
This man was invited and admitted to the wedding feast, but was kicked out again. What does that say about those who are "in" and the doctrine of eternal security? Perhaps not all who are in the Kingdom now will be allowed to remain beyond Judgment Day.
I sincerely apologize for the extended downtime we experienced over the past two days.
The issue arose during a routine software update, which triggered a server reboot. Unfortunately, this revealed an unexpected fault with the network card. Our engineers spent considerable time troubleshooting various scenarios, including replacing network cables, to pinpoint and resolve the problem.
For context: two years ago, I chose a powerful, dedicated physical server to ensure maximum performance, data privacy, and control—avoiding the limitations of shared or virtual hosting. While this setup provides numerous benefits, it also means that unexpected hardware issues like this one take longer to resolve compared to a virtual environment that allows quick migration.
That said, the server is still well within its expected lifespan, and I believe this was a rare, isolated incident.
Thank you again for your understanding and continued support. As always, I remain fully committed to providing a stable and trustworthy platform for our community.

Matthew 15:1-20 is often interpreted to mean that the rules concerning clean and unclean animals are no longer relevant, that we can now eat whatever we want without sin (violation of God's instructions).
However, Yeshua condemned the Pharisees for making up new rules and teaching people to break God's direct commandments, so does it really make sense for him to turn around and immediately make up a new rule of his own and teach people to break God's direct commandments?

But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.
Matthew 15:18
Yeshua wasn't contradicting God's instructions about what not to eat. He was using a man-made tradition to illustrate a deeper principle: Wickedness plants itself in a man's heart like seeds, and what's in a man's heart inevitably comes out through what he says and does.
