I Unfortunately Come From A Family of Cowards...

I'm not ashamed to stand by my beliefs; I'm ashamed of my family who are. For example, my sister and my mom have one belief that I'm not allowed to mention--and I'm not being a hypocrite: I mentioned it before, but was yelled at and threatened with having my computer taken away. I had the choice of either following the gag order (so to speak) or having you not see this or potential future blog entries. 

I also continue to be ashamed of my grandaunt Dr. MaryAnn Gaydos--she and I (and others) full well know that if those letters (which I have mentioned before) were really to the Foskos and written in the Post-WW2 Era, she surely would've released them or the contents thereof to the family by now. After all, they're family history and nothing to be ashamed of if they weren't part of a cover up--a cover up of our Jewish heritage, how Great-Grandma responded to Vilmos' and his side of the family's pleas for help, etc..

I furthermore (even though G-d used evil for good) am ashamed even of my Anusi relatives--at least my openly Non-Messianic Jewish relatives, however misguided and blind they were (and whether they were deliberately or unintentionally blind)--stood for their faith even to--literally--death or the risk thereof (e.g., Auschwitz and--before the Holocaust--the pogroms). Many of my relatives, even Messianic Jews among us, continue to be Anusim today--what a shame! Jesus, as one of my relatives (and you know who you are and how you) put it, "was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew." (I'm being generous in not mentioning who you are--you already testified against yourself. The least that you can do, since Messiah acknowledge His Jewish heritage, is acknowledge your own Jewish heritage--that is, the heritage separate from mine--and our common Jewish heritage.)

Have some chazak and kavod! 

A Refutation of "Bible".Ca: Eternal Security

"12 If we suffer , we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful: he cannot * deny himself." (2 Timothy 2:12-13, KJV with Strong's)


The Greek for "deny":

Strong's Number:   720
Original Word Word Origin ajrnevomai perhaps from (1) (as a negative particle) and the middle voice of (4483) Transliterated Word TDNT Entry Arneomai 1:469,79 Phonetic Spelling Parts of Speech ar-neh'-om-ahee     Verb
Definition
to deny to deny someone to deny one's self to disregard his own interests or to prove false to himself act entirely unlike himself to deny, abnegate, abjure not to accept, to reject, to refuse something offered
King James Word Usage - Total: 31
deny 29, refuse 2

In other words, only if we reject Christ's gift of salvation will we be denied. "If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful: he cannot * deny himself." Furthermore:


"27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, andthey follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never * * perish ,neither * shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (From John 10)


He doesn't qualify "neither shall any" either--He means "neither shall any", meaning that you can't even wriggle out of Yeshua's hand. So what does Hebrews 6:4-6 mean? See Yeshuat Yisrael's study. Besides, Bible.Ca states that "Christians are to restore the fallen: Gal 6:1; Jas 5:19-20". As GotQuestions.org pointed out, G-d's strong enough to keep you from falling--he doesn't need Christians to restore someone's salvation, nor can Christians: only G-d can save. By the way, that Bible.Ca twists Scripture out of context is obvious. 

For All the Hype About Krystal Keith...

She really doesn't even have that many followers on Twitter (and she even follows more people than she is followed by on Pininterest--yes, she's on Pininterest if you care to look), likes on Facebook, &c.--at least compared to her dad. In a sense, I feel vindicated in that--I said that she could've used another name to have a name & career in her own right; but no, I got criticized for it.


Meanwhile, she hasn't released her album yet--and we'll she what happens if and when she finally does. Frankly--as I said on YouTube--, since papa Keith called her music "country as cornbread", it probably means that it's not country, anyway--like Mr. "Red Solo Cup" knows what country is anymore, since he's gone Hollywood like most of the rest of the country-music world. 

T Gen and Homosexual Men: A Question

Geraldo Rivera has been advertising T Gen on his radio show for a while now. So, here's my question: could T Gen--since "testosterone is what makes a man, a man"--help make some homosexual men (that is, those born with homosexuality as a thorn in the flesh) heterosexual? As far as I know (or at least as I'm sure), boosting the testosterone levels--or at least countering the unusually-high or otherwise-irregular levels of estrogen and other (for a lack of better term) female hormones--has been used. Therefore, why not try an experiment with some homosexual men to see if giving them T Gen makes them--or at least causes them to become more--heterosexual? Of course, the men would have to consent to being part of the experiment--we don't want to get into eugenics or any other unethical science here.

What Angers Me, Maybe Especially Because I'm a Messianic Jew

I think about how the Foczkos (Fockos, Foskos), Hanzoks, and other sides of my dad's family (except the Trudn(i)aks, though that is still up to debate whether they) were forced to become Catholic--and the force wasn't always physical, but could be psychological (as you'll discover if you do your research). Seeing records for the Foczkos and Hanzoks on Family Search, I was angered that they were forced, oppressed, hounded after--and they expressed their own anger by, for example, by naming children "Josephus" and "Aurelia" (search "Josephus" and "Marcus Aurelius"), and by naming their only or oldest girls other names than "Maria" (although there were Ashkenazic Jews called "Maria" for "Miriam", and one of my Foczko cousin now holds the variant "Miriama" instead of "Maria" like our cousins of old did).

Yeshua Himself stated, "And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet." (Matthew 10:14) Proselytization is wrong, especially if proselytization is forcible. Putting your faith, beliefs, etc. out there is not wrong; but remember:


"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?  I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.  Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor." 


Who were the Catholics and others who tried to force us to convert, though we were Anusim who would not believe for the most part?


"Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,

Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”"


"“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’"

For Sacramento, Concord, and Especially Silver Spring

Since you all (especially Silver Spring) looked at my blog for the last eight hours, here's a blog entry for you:

    

Concord, California arrived from google.com on "The Nicole Factor: And Erica Levy Gets Geraldo Rivera? As I've Said Before...." by searching for erica and geraldo rivera.

15:21:55 -- 1 hour 55 mins ago

    

Silver Spring, Maryland arrived on "The Nicole Factor".

14:28:30 -- 2 hours 48 mins ago

    

Silver Spring, Maryland arrived on "The Nicole Factor".

11:37:29 -- 5 hours 39 mins ago

    

Silver Spring, Maryland arrived on "The Nicole Factor".

08:50:44 -- 8 hours 26 mins ago

    

Sacramento, California arrived from youtube.com on "The Nicole Factor".

06:57:25 -- 10 hours 19 mins ago

At this rate, I can tell that you (especially Silver Spring, as I can't emphasize enough) will be and stand with me if and when I'm famous. As the infamous Sally Field once exclaimed, "You like me! You really like me!"

I'll blog more later; but here's a shoutout to particularly Silver Spring. 

Let Me Be Frank With #TCOT...

Firstly, you can't behind hashtags like "#Isupportheterosexualmarriage" and #illegalisnotapejorative"--how pathetic! Secondly, do you have nothing better to do than to blast Obama--and I myself didn't vote for Obama, but I have respect for the fact that G-d appointed him to be my president? After all, you so-called Christian conservatives, "Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor." (Romans 13:7) Thirdly, don't you know to follow the Twitter TOS? Twitter couldn't care less is one is conservative and Messianic Jewish or gentile Christian as long as he or she follows the TOS--they don't have time to waste tracking which tweeter is who or what. After all, "rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same." (Romans 13:3) 

And To the Haters Who Were Criticizing Me Re Krystal Keith...

I have statistics to back up my contention that she could've used a different name and made her own career. Her dad has 154,425 followers and she has 1,085 followers. Here Facebook page also looks dim with 2,442 likes in comparison to Toby Keith's 2,342,769 likes. You're free to owe me an apology, too, when you see that many of the posts and at least some of tweets on her page and timeline, respectively, contain a reference to her dad and/or her connection to him. She's in her dad's shadow, and it's a sad shame for a girl who apparently (according to her dad on "Uncut, Unedited, and Unleashed" back in 2004) sings and writes better than her dad does. 

I'm Reserved About Going To the Rusnak Family Reunion This Year Because...

1. Until further notice, I'm still estranged from my dad.
2. I haven't been to reunions since 2006.
3. Not all of the family is meshuga, but some are--and they think that I'm meshuga and have gotten others to think so.
4. Some of the ones mentioned in Reason #3 are very unhappy that I found out that we're Jewish, that Great-Grandma Gaydos was a kapo (And what else do you call someone who stopped writing to Vilmosz et. al. when they asked for help?), and that I'm a Jewish-Christian Republican.
5. Some of the ones mentioned in Reasons #3 and #4 would like to see me dead (You don't think they would if they could get away with it?).
6. They won't invite Foskos (which is a stupid move, since Great-Great-Grandma Rusnak was a Fosko--how much stupider can you get thannot to invite the matriarch's family?).
7. I'd prefer the Rapture to come first.

I have more reasons, but you get the point; and as I said on Twitter, the Spirit be with me if I go to the family reunion! 

No More Anonymous Comments

"Jean" (Anonymous) published a comment on my entry about Krystal Keith making her own name in her dad's--not her own--right. "Jean" has influenced my decision to not allow anonymous comments to be published on this blog anymore. If you are like "Jean" and have to try to stand as "Anonymous" and/or with a fake name to stand by your argument; firstly, your argument is weak and you know that it is (which is why you're hiding behind what is not your real name in the first place); and secondly, you will get your comment deleted and--obviously--not published. Stand by what you have to say. 

Talk About "Mak[ing]...Jews Pee In Their Pants!"

Anti-Semitic Malik Zulu Shabbaz and Khalid Mohammad, first of all, don't scare this Jew enough to make her pee herself--they're just kvetching Kushim who are part of the Kushim noted in Ezekiel 38 (In other words, they're not of the remnant of Kushim.). Besides, we Yehudim--at least sometimes--do enough to make ourselves and each other "pee...[our] pants". For example, take "Rabbi" Jason Rosenberg: Jason Rosenberg, as a Jew, wants to lose First Amendment freedoms? He wants the Amendment construed to make obedience to Tanakh a crime?! "We will, in short, look back at Amendment 1 and its ilk in precisely the same way that we now look back at Jim Crow." Scary thinking! And that's not the only scary part--though it may be one of the scariest parts, or the scariest part.

"To be a Jew is remember how terrible it feels to be weak and oppressed, and therefore to act..." He of course forgot to add to obey Tanakh. Of course, his view is to disregard and disobey Tanakh:

If you’re part of a religious tradition that believes your revelation came directly, and perfectly, from God, then you probably won’t see the world the same way I do. But, as part of religious movement that embraces the fact that our texts, practices and traditions all have human origins, I have no choice but to also admit that those human origins have influenced those texts, practices and traditions. In other words, they don’t only reflect God’s will, but human biases and prejudices as well. They reflect the society from which they came.

This "rabbi" is pretty revisionist as well--besides in stating that "the fact that our texts, practices and traditions all have human origins". For example, Galileo was trying to interpret the Bible correctly to the chagrin of the Roman Catholic Church. Another example: "Religious leaders who refused to see the world changing were the ones who tried to justify slavery...and so on." Unbelievable lies.

Many religious leaders, in fact, pushed for freedom & womens' rights precisely because of religion--mainly true Christianity & true Judaism (especially Messianic--Complete--Judaism). By the way,"Rabbi" Jason Rosenberg reflects much of what is wrong with URJ Judaism, including that it is revisionist! Also, I've blogged enough about URJ (Reform) Judaism in the past, so just read my blog entries about it--I don't need to link you to everything.

I Can't Study Tonight...

Forget studying tonight. I'll wake up early in the morning and study. My roommate has music on, and I can hear it and can't study. Since the music is gospel music, I grant that she might be doing the more important thing--e.g.:

³⁸ Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. ³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’^[a]feet and heard His word. ⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

⁴¹ And Jesus^[b] answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. ⁴² But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

I can sleep more easily with the music on that I can study with it on. Also anyway, the exam's not until 6:00 PM; so from 9:30 to 5:50 (excepting 1:00-3:00 for "The Geraldo Rivera Show" on KABC, and 5:00-5:50 to get a late lunch and get to the Physics Building), I have plenty of time to study--and without music being played, so that I can focus.

I Take Great Exception To The Following Comment...

"You are too quick to accuse people of wrongdoing. Andrew Rusnak's name is spelled one way on the ship manifest and another way on his naturalization papers. The name of Andrew's birth place is misspelled in his naturalization papers. No one at Ellis Island went around to ask everyone if their name was spelled correctly or their hometown was spelled correctly on their ship manifest. The same with census records. The census taker didn't go back and ask everyone if their name was spelled correctly. Our ancestors never saw the ship manifests, naturalization records, and census records that were created from their information."


Firstly, Kevin assumes that the immigration and naturalization officials were too stupid, ignorant, or however else incompetent to do their jobs. ("No one at Ellis Island went around to ask everyone if their name was spelled correctly or their hometown was spelled correctly on their ship manifest.") If they had doubts, they would most certainly ask, and they would ask one to affirm that his or her information was correctly and truthfully given and recorded.


Secondly, Kevin assumes that our relatives were also incompetent in some way, shape, or form. ("Our ancestors never saw the ship manifests, naturalization records, and census records that were created from their information.") They absolutely saw the records especially if they were required to sign them or otherwise give confirmation that they were correct and true records.


Thirdly, Kevin assumes-- at least implicitly-- that our relatives couldn't have full well been sinning by committing perjury, even if they supposedly had their reasons for doing so. I recently gave the example of "Maria Uscanski"-- aka, Catherine Susan Ushinsky Gaydos. She full well knew what she was doing by using the name "Maria"-- she, a Jew and an Anusit, was trying to use a traditionally-Catholic name to get into the country and avoid Anti Semitism; which may be understandable, nevertheless not right on her part.


Fourthly and in conclusion, Kevin assumes that I'm stupid or arrogant. ("You are too quick to accuse people of wrongdoing.") I don't accuse without knowing or at least having some idea of what I'm talking about.

Repost: "Illegal Alien" Is Not A Pejorative

Besides, as a descendant of illegal aliens (Julian and Aleksjondria "Alexandria" Chernetski, and their son Antoni "Anthoy" Chernetski), I have more of a stake in the matter than Geraldo Rivera. Indeed, his dad was Puerto Rican (given U.S. citizenship in 1917, and born when Puerto Rico had been a U.S. territory for 17 years), and his grandmother Tillie Krivel Friedman was a legal immigrant from her Diasporan home of Canada. What does Geraldo have to worry about? Also, while not all illegals are Mexican or otherwise Hispanic (case in point, as my great-great-grandparents were Ashkenazim Anusim), most illegals are Mexican and otherwise Hispanic. Meanwhile, the Irish were not the first illegals. Don't believe me? Search Ancestry.com-- you'll find the New York and other port manifests of plenty of Irelanders, that of my great-great-great-granddad John Thomas Farrell.

Furthermore, Sections 8 and 9 of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution have always provided for legal immigration:

1. Section 8 - Powers of Congress
   The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excisesshall be uniform throughout the United States;
   To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
   To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
   To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States...
2. The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

In conclusion; as a descendant of Jewish illegal immigrants who has more stake in the illegal immigration issue than the descendant of Puerto Rican Cruz Rivera and legal immigrant Tillie Krivel Friedman, I speak to Geraldo Rivera and to others to say that "illegal" and "illegal alien" are not pejoratives.

Let Me Clarify In Case You Didn't Get That...

Being a non-citizen (non-naturalized) immigrant, an even a naturalized immigrant who perjured to become naturalized makes you an illegal immigrant. As much as I love my cousin Kevin, he doesn't realize that deliberately falsifying information and/or not correcting a Census taker, manifest scribe, or other recorder is perjury-- as I explained to him, the Foskos (Kevin's and my common side) didn't do that: case in point, look at Julia Fosko Rusnak's manifest and Andrew Rusnak's naturalization record:

Compare them to these two gems from Julian Czarnecki, ne Chernetski:





Notice the differences: Julian said May 15th on one record, and November 15th on the other. By the way, Julian lied about other things on that record as well. Andrew was consistent with his records. And here's the beauty (so to speak) of it-- Julian lied on more records. For example, he gave 1876 as his birthdate here on 1877 on his World War One Draft Card.

While we're talking about Julian's perjury, let's look at the definition of perjury:

"[T]he voluntary violation of an oath or vow either by swearing to what is untrue or by omission to do what has been promised under oath : false swearing".


Julian knowingly and willfully provided false information and failed to correct mistakes of fact and any mistake related thereto. As I said, as much as I love Kevin; he and I are lucky to share a common side where perjury wasn't thought of-- for the most part, if at all, anyway (I'd have to relook at other records and see.). But at least as far as I know, any perjury that did occur wasn't related to immigration.

Who Are The "Palestinians"?

I've blogged on this somewhat before, but Deuteronomy 32:21 finally (along with Romans 10:19) had click in my head that the "Palestinians" are a foolish "nation" and are not a people:

Romans 10:19

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁹ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”^[a]

Footnotes:

1. Romans 10:19 Deuteronomy 32:21

I got that the Romans renamed Israel and the surrounding regions "Palestine", but I wanted to give that the Palestinians were at least partly-- if not entirely-- the Pleshetim still in existence for a long time. Masada2000.org's and others' points finally clicked with me. The "Palestinians" of 70 AD to the present never have been a people-- they have always been a mixture of Pleshetim (who were originally Cretean Yavanim) and Arabs (e.g., the Edomim and the Yishma'elim). Many "Palestinian" Arabs indeed are Christians ("I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation"), Mohamedian ("I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."), and/or stealers of Israel (e.g., the Dome of the Rock stealing the Temple Mount):

• “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord! 
² Thus says the Lord God: “Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’”’ ³ therefore prophesy, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up by the lips of talkers and slandered by the people”... ⁵ therefore thus says the Lord God: “Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.”’...
• ^[T]herefore thus says the Lord God: “Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.”’ 

By the way, if Ashkenazic and other Jews weren't the real Jews, the "Palestinian" Arabs would accept us as Jews instead of try to kick us out of our land.
