HOW DID WE AS A PEOPLE GO FROM THIS…
U.S. Supreme Court stated in the 1892 case of Church of the Holy Trinity versus United States, written by Justice David Josiah Brewer (143 U.S. 457-458, 465-471, 36 L ed 226):
"This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation ..."
The Supreme Court continued: "The commission to Christopher Columbus ... - recited - ... that 'it is hoped that by God's assistance some of the continents and islands in the ocean will be discovered' ...
... The first colonial grant made to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 ... and the grant authorizing him to enact statutes for the government of the proposed colony provided 'that they be not against the true Christian faith' ...
... The fundamental orders of Connecticut, under which a provisional government was instituted in 1638-1639, commence with this declaration:'... And well knowing where a people are gathered together the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union ... there should be an orderly and decent government established according to God ... to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus which we now profess ... of the said gospel is now practiced amongst us.'
AND BECOME THIS…
Connecticut Woman Becomes Vermont’s First Nonresident to Undergo Medically Assisted Suicide
January 4, 2024
A women from Connecticut became the first nonresident in Vermont to end her life via medically assisted suicide on Thursday. Lynda Bluestein, 76, traveled to the Green Mountain State on Wednesday in preparation for her planned death. The woman’s son, Jake Shannon, told News 12 Connecticut Bluestein would die by lethal injection.
“I’d like to be remembered as someone who never thought that second best was even in the realm of possibility, who always believed that you can make everything better,” the woman said, condemning her home state as “cruel” for not offering medically assisted suicide. “Our state has failed my family and many others,” she said of Connecticut. “Who can take a calendar and say, ‘That’s the day I’m going to die?’ I was astonished on how cruel that felt.”
Stephen preaches truth and Torah right up to his time of execution, at which he models Yeshua by asking the Father to forgive his persecutors.
You can know your life is a complete mess and you can believe it is a disaster but unless you live in the moment and repent your life won’t change.
Scripture says that Yahuah's Torah is love. Yahuah's Torah is life! Praise Yahuah!!
There has been some good discussions around this month's topic:
-- Should we accept all of Paul's teachings? --
The month is coming to a close with the new moon sighting scheduled in Jerusalem on this coming Friday, 12 January. (Please see the Events calendar and join us on Friday if you are available.)
My thinking is that it is a good time to have a discussion on "How to determine 1 Abib" as this then sets the calendar for the feast dates.
