Discussion Subject for this month:
--- What is the definition of "laws/traditions of men"? ---
#lawsofmen #manmadelaws #traditionsofmen
I've always loathed inequality. Well, real inequality, not the made-up stuff today. I believe in MLK's speech that a man (person) should be judged on the content of their character not the color of their skin. This is what led me to conservatism. When I got into the Bible, I believed this even more. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, we are all one in Messiah" is what Rosa Parks quoted to those who wanted her to sit in the back of the bus. She used Christianity to convict men of sin and she was right.
As we've seen the words "racism", "intolerance" and the like misused over the past ten or fifteen years, many of us had come to believe that these words and concepts were no longer being used to better society but rather for something else entirely. What that was remained unclear until these last couple weeks.
It's now abundantly clear that these concepts, and whatever else might work, are being used to destroy western civilization. It also doesn't appear that those who want western civilization to fall even care what it's replaced with. Taking up the Islamic cause of the annihilation of Israel and all Jews in the name of stopping racism is so disconnected from reality that it's beyond words. The goal of the Islamic states is totalitarian theocratic rule where minorities are either exterminated or enslaved, gays are executed without trial, and women have less rights than a goat.
Folks need to understand once they succeed in exterminating Israel, we are next. Those of us who believe in freedom and equality need to find a way to get along and combat these destructive ideas before it's too late. Gauging from the teachers at these universities being on the wrong side of the issue, it may already be too late. But let us be on the right side of history. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, but we are all one in Messiah and we need to desire those who are not in Messiah to join us.
Shalom.

The Passover lamb (or goat) isn't a sacrifice in the usual sense of that word. Your English translations of Exodus, etc., may talk about "offering the Passover sacrifice", but the Hebrew really just says "kill the Passover". Moreover, no part of the Passover, including the blood, ever touches the altar.
Although the Passover must be killed at Jerusalem, according to Scripture, it doesn't have to be done at the Temple or by a Levitical priest. According to 2 Chronicles 30:17, the pre-exilic, ancient Israelites believed that the Passover could be killed by any ritually clean person, and I don't see anything in Torah to contradict them.

Ecclesiastes 3:7, “A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.” Have believers remained silent in the face of evil? In my opinion, yes. How else would sin and evil be allowed to become so prevalent in the world? In the 1867 inaugural address John Stuart Mill said, “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” We should be wise when facing evil, but we should face it boldly and without fear as we follow the Creator’s instructions for how to control it.
On this date in history, 04/26/1779: British forces under Colonel Hyde ascend the North River and raid Middletown, New Jersey, and surrounding farms and towns, burning and plundering homes. Harrassed by local militia, they retreat to Shrewsbury before returning to their boats. #otd #tdih https://www.historycarper.com/....category/battles/ame
