Responsa Regarding Verses Such As Amos 9:7

• Bless you sister.No disrespect but can you explain these verses,Daniel 7:9,Rev.1:14-15, and then Amos 9:7 says they are as the Ethiopians unto him.Ethiopians also have hair like wool and feet like burned brass.I am just wanting your point of view on this in a peaceful respectful manner my beautiful sister.Bless you.

• Absolutely. Let's begin with Amos 9:7. This is to be read in context with Jeremiah 13:23, Song 1:5-6, Job 30:30, and Acts 13:1. Israel had a problematic relationship with Kushites (Africans) based on skin color. As for "brass", "Chalkolibanon" is "from a compound of (5475) and (3030) (in the implied mean of whiteness or brilliancy)". Also, Daniel 7:9 can easily be explained: Jews and other Middle Easterners (including those in the Diasporas) can and often do have wooly hair (e.g., JewFros).

Especially If And When I Become Famous...

I'm not going to be one of those celebrities who expects or wants everyone to adore me. While I'm not immune to wanting to be adored, I'm not going to be like-- for example-- Toby Keith's family. I still say that getting blocked by Stelen Covel for being honest about his family "friend" and suggesting that his sister try to make her own name is an honor. If the family wants to be idolized and have their every thought, word, and deed praised; that's their problem-- for instance, if they want people leeching off of them and if they want to inherit only this world (and not the world to come), that's their problem. 


I even let people lie about me at present, and I'm sure that I'll be more lied about if and when I'm famous. At least I'll be able to make my own name and be held accountable for my own actions instead of first coming under any paternal or other family shadow-- or any other shadow. At least I won't be cornered into a "Like parent, like child" type of situation-- too bad that Krystal (who, by the way, follows the Dalai Lama on Twitter) and Stelen (who can't admit that he has a fame-hungry "friend" from-- as he stated-- "podunk South Carolina") admire a man who:

1. Lied to G-d in the first place anyway. I remember that Toby Keith once stated that he had promised G-d that he would quit trying to get in the music business by the time that he was 30 if he didn't get in by then. He got into to the business when he was 32. So, he broke his vow to  G-d; and as I told someone, "I wear as a badge of honor that someone thought me truthful and not worldly enough to block me. Especially the son of someone who lied to G-d in the first place. I don't care if sons of liars and others like them block me. It might hurt at first; but although I'm not Jesus, I guarantee that Jesus'd be blocked and reported by many were he online today."
2. Does trashy songs like "Red Solo Cup." 
3. Doesn't care about even the tiniest suggestion. As I told someone, "I want those of the world to hate me if they so feel compelled to hate even the smallest actions of those who are trying to be in the light." As someone else stated on YouTube, "yeah, everyone here is right. Toby Keith in the early too late 90s was great, not a bad song. Then How do you like me now came out which was a good album but after that he went downhill more and more on every album. I mean now every album sounds just the same and most of his songs are novelty and not the good kind. He had something going ,then he let it go, and the sad part is is that most people only know him for his new stuff. " The point of this criticism being reposted by me is that, now that I think about it, maybe Mercury Records and others did have a point-- when Toby Keith wasn't lavished and praised all the time, maybe that's when he was at his best.

In conclusion, here's a lesson to Toby Keith and his family: if you want to be like your dad and care more about this world than the world to come (and with this world, and not the world to come, including leechers and idolizers who worship you), that's your problem and I should be glad that worldly people like you consider me worthy to block. At least I have the chance to make my own name with integrity and to especially fall back on the hope of the world to come. I also have the chance to take criticism and consider it for what it is.

So I Got Blocked By Toby Keith's Son On Twitter...

Let me say that I consider that an honor, and I ended up unfollowing his sister as well. With the way that Toby Keith and his family are going (at least from what I gather with "Red Solo Cup", their "friend" Shannon Tanner, and Krystal following the Dalai Lama, for example), let me say that I'm glad that Stelen considers me whatever he considers me in order to block me. In my opinion, who needs to even care about a family enough to follow any of them on Twitter when they don't even try to care about G-d, even if they claim to?

By the way, I'm a little surprised at some of the other people who I'm following (some of whom are following me) who are following the Dalai Lama. There is nothing wise, holy, or anything else good about the Dalai Lama; and how arrogant for the Dalai Lama to call himself "His Holiness"-- who does he think that he is: Jesus? "Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" Furthermore, as the old saying goes, the Devil can even quote Scripture; "[f]or Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14b) Even if appearances are that the Dalai Lama's getting his wisdom directly from G-d, he can't be:


¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ²¹ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.²² Professing to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.


Furthermore, "[e]very good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17) Because the Dalai Lama doesn't have the Light of G-d in him, he can't be getting any good or wisdom directly from G-d. Besides, for example, this is not wise:

"Unbiased love is undoubtedly difficult to generate, but if you practice with determination, day by day your attitude will be transformed."

It may seem wise at first, but be careful: love is biased. For example, "Ya'akov I have loved, and Esav I have hated". Also, "hate what is evil and cling to what is good." Love does have bias, judgement, and discernment-- and there are many more examples besides the ones that I gave. Also:

"I am often asked whether I am optimistic for the future of humanity. My simple answer is yes."

What humanity, at least without Christ, is he observing? Also:

"Compassion is a mental quality that can bring us true lasting inner peace and inner strength."

Compassion is a spiritual, not a mental, quality. The corrupt human mind cannot possibly be compassionate. By the way, as I stated,  as the old saying goes, the Devil can even quote Scripture; "[f]or Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14b) Even if appearances are that the Dalai Lama's getting his wisdom directly from G-d, he can't be:

"We often talk about moral values, justice and trust, but the important thing is to put them into effect in our everyday lives."

But another problem: you can't have action without some talk. For example, you have to teach what you're doing:

1. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. ⁷ You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ⁸ You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ⁹ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
2. ⁷ Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And no leavened bread shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters. ⁸ And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.’ ⁹ It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt.
3. ¹⁴ So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to theLord all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’

So, I wish Toby Keith and his family tzlacha; since they're going the way of the world of late-- they'll need all the tzlacha (luck or success) that they can get, since all that they may inherit is this world.

George Zimmerman Is In Jail Awaiting Trial...

Can we, as Trayvon's parents and others want, just let the justice system play out now? As others have pointed out, this isn't Florida v. Anthony (2011). In Florida v. Anthony, there was a mother-- Casey Marie Anthony-- who clearly murdered her own then-2-year-old daughter, Caylee; tampered with and let the elements otherwise destroy Caylee's body, and otherwise hindered the investigation into Caylee's death; and left Caylee's death reported for 30-31 days while she went out and remorselessly partied to celebrate her self-created childless life.

In Florida v. Zimmerman (which may also become United States v. Zimmerman); there is either a deceitful and racist murderer, a mentally-ill or otherwise mentally-afflicted man who snapped or otherwise acted in an irrational and uncontrolled way, or an assaulted-and-battered neighborhood watchman who was defending himself and/or his community with the "Stand Your Ground" Law. For whatever reason (which may well be the second possibility, and thus may have helped to mitigate the circumstances and charges), Special Prosecutor Angela Corey charged George Zimmerman with second-degree-- not first-degree-- murder; although to be fair (as Judge Alex Ferrer explained on "The O'Reilly Factor"), certain kinds of evil or malicious intent in Florida can get one charged with second-degree murder as opposed to manslaughter, and as opposed to first-degree murder on the other end of the homicide spectrum in Florida v. Zimmerman. 

Repost With Quotes From Rick Santorum Added...

In Case You Didn't Get My Last Post...

Let me unequivocally tell you: if you do not believe that Israel is the most-attacked nation and that Israel-supporting Protestants are Christians, you are an Anti Semite. Good riddance about Rick Santorum: he needed to drop out, anyway. Besides being a Vatican One Catholic (thus, Anti Semitic already; since Vatican One Catholics are the likes of Former Senator Santorum and-- who I'm sure that Rick Santorum supports-- Mel Gibson), Rick Santorum-- as I've explained-- deliberately ignores that Israel was, is, and will (until the End of the Present Age) be the most-attacked nation.

1. Added quote: “Once the colleges fell, and those who were being educated in our institutions, the next was the church. Now you’d say, ‘Well, wait, the Catholic Church?’ No.”
   “We all know that this country was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic, but the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant Judeo-Christian ethic. Sure, the Catholics had some influence, but this was a Protestant country and the Protestant ethic. Mainstream, mainline Protestantism.
   “And of course we look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is a shambles. It is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it. So they attacked mainline Protestantism, they attacked the Church, and what better way to go after smart people who also believe they’re pious — to use both vanity and pride to go after the Church.”

2. Added quote: "This is not a political war at all, this is not a culture war at all, this is a spiritual war. And the father of lies has his sights on what you think the father of lies, Satan, would have his sights on.  A good, decent, powerful, influential country, the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack? There's no one else to go after other than the United States, and that's been the case, for now, almost 200 years."

The United States is not the chosen people-- Israel is. e.g.:

⁸ “But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend.
⁹ You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

The United States has not been gone after by HaSatan the most-- Israel has. e.g.:

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”

I could go on, but you get the point.

Repost: Rick Santorum Is Clearly An Anti Semite And Non-Evangelical Catholic

There's evidence that Priscilla and Aquila had no children. Want more evidence? They were busy tent-making and running a house church. They had no time to have children. Yet Rick Santorum would criticize Priscilla and Aquila, twoYehudim Tzadikim who clearly practiced some form of birth control. Meanwhile, Rick Santorum-- in a speech at Florida's Ave Maria University-- said that mainline Protestants (and by mainline Protestants, he means Evangelicals-- remember "excuse me-- 'Reformation'"? Rick Santorum said that Protestants) are not Christians and that Satan is going after the United States like no other nation. Rick Santorum deliberately forgets that not only do Protestants support Israel, but that Israel are the chosen people-- we Jews are attacked both generally by our own (Antimissionaries, including Self-Hating Jews-- who obviously have no interest in'Am Yisra'el or Yeshua) and by gentiles (not all gentiles, but obviously the Anti-Israel gentiles).
