Corrections... Well, Not Corrections; Just More That I Found Out....

I said yesterday, "Great-Granddad Gaydos was proud of our Ashkenazic Jewishness, which got him into

trouble during the Cold War. One day, he bragged, "We're Russian." Dad retorted, "The only reason that you

say that is  because you work in the Russian Church" (or something like that). Michael Gajdos, Jr. was a son of 

Michael (né Mihal Gajdosz) Gajdos and Katherine (née Katarina Uszinskyová) Ushinsky Gajdos, son of Jan

and Maria Hamaová Gajdos and daughter of Jan and Hannah Hulinskyová Uszinsky. They were born in 


Slovakia and Hungary as ethnic Jews."


"Hulinsky" was actually "Hazlinsky", and Hannah ("Anna") was married once before-- how do you like that?

You'll see the rest of what I found out on the tree-- and to be fair, I was extremely close with "Uszinsky", which

is a form of "Ushinsky", and Great-Great-Grandma Gajdos used "Uscianski" and similar forms to "Ushinsky".

And "sz" and "sc" both become "sh" in certain cases, and "c" can also be "ts". So, Great-Granddad Gaydos

was still an Anusi.

Remembering My Jewishness On Christmas: For Example...

Great-Granddad Gaydos was proud of our Ashkenazic Jewishness, which got him into trouble during the

Cold War. One day, he bragged, "We're Russian." Dad retorted, "The only reason that you say that is

because you work in the Russian Church" (or something like that). Michael Gajdos, Jr. was a son of Michael

(né Mihal Gajdosz) Gajdos and Katherine (née Katarina Uszinskyová) Ushinsky Gajdos, son of Jan and

Maria Hamaová Gajdos and daughter of Jan and Hannah Hulinskyová Uszinsky. They were born in 
Slovakia and Hungary as ethnic Jews.

So, in memory of my proud-to-be-Jewish, obviously-in-support-of-Russian-Jewry great-granddad, my

Facebook status read:

Nicole Czarnecki

‎, in the words of Great-Grandpa Gaydos (Michael Gajdos, z'l): Okay; I'm ready to go now (I'm going to a

family gathering today.).

Those were words that Great-Granddad Gaydos spoke at his daughter Joan's house during a visit (as Aunt

Mary recalled), and the only words that he spoke at that visit-- right after dinner!

HaMelekh-HaMet used a heart attack to take Great-Granddad Gaydos to Gan 'Eden.

I told you that he was an Anusi.

Christmas Isn't A Time To Forsake the Truth For "Good Tidings"...

In fact, truth is a good tiding. Too often we forget that what came is "[w]oe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Remember that "He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. " For "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

The darkness and those of darkness do not want the truth and light. They don't want to comprehend them. For "[y]et the LORD has not given [them] a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day." That doesn't mean truth is to be forsaken:

Isaiah 43:8-9

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁸ Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
      And the deaf who have ears.
       ⁹ Let all the nations be gathered together,
      And let the people be assembled.
      Who among them can declare this,
      And show us former things?
      Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
      Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.” 


Every forsaker of truth will be repaid:

Psalm 69:22-23

New King James Version (NKJV)

 ²² Let their table become a snare before them,
         And their well-being a trap.
 ²³ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
         And make their loins shake continually.


And 

Psalm 118:22

New King James Version (NKJV)

 ²² The stone which the builders rejected
         Has become the chief cornerstone.


Also as written:

Luke 20:13-18

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹³ “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ ¹⁴ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ ¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.”
And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!”
¹⁷ Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:


      ‘ The stone which the builders rejected
      Has become the chief cornerstone’?
 ¹⁸ Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

      

As I've Stated Before, I've Learned That People Want Honesty & Exposes...

People don't want (as my mom puts it) "sweetness and light"; or if they do, they're not the kind of people who are seeking the world and those in it for what they are. People who are seeking the reality of the world and those in it liked when I was talking about myself and my imperfections, my family for good and bad, and anyone and anything else for good and bad.

People might say that they don't (as Geraldo Rivera's now-ex mother in law once put what Geraldo was exposing back then) the "seamy" side of life; but I'm not even into, say, "Men In Lace Panties, and The Women Who Love Them." I'm into exposing the murderer and Self-Hating Jew that John "Jack" Czarnecki is (and I'm still waiting for the DOJ or Luzerne County DA to get back to me, because second-degree murder with murder-malice intent is a serious crime-- no matter who's afraid of how Jack Czarnecki might retaliate for trying to get him prosecuted)-- and Jack Czarnecki's my paternal granddad (albeit estranged)! And as I've said before, man b'Gei Hinnom was Jack Czarnecki doing murdering his good, Jewish-Evangelical Catholic mother, anyway?

Given that I'm into confronting the self-made misfits and should-be pariahs in my own family (though I'm not popular in a lot of the circles of my family because of that), I'm into confronting others (I'm telling you that to revisit that Chapelgate incident is tempting-- see, I just exposed myself again! I fall into temptation, and yet I said that I never wanted to talk about or go to Chapelgate again!). And I exposed myself (besides admitting to being tempted re the Chapelgate incident) recently!

As I said, while not everybody wants honesty; a lot of people want honesty and exposes from the levels of self honesty and exposure, to confronting and holding the world and those in it accountable for who and what they are! 

Getting My Old Facebook Page Restored, And I Don't Think That There's Just a Bug...

If you could help get "Nicole Czarnecki (aka, "Nickidewbear")" at http://www.facebook.com/nicoleczarneckiakanickidewbear restored, I'd appreciate it. You were able to bug certain people at Chapelgate (who are a major part of why I never want to talk about or go to Chapelgate again) when I needed help and reaching out to (which they certainly did not give, and in fact gave me quite the opposite of-- in other words, negative and unhelpful outreach, to generously say the least). I know that you can certainly rally for Facebook to restore http://www.facebook.com/nicoleczarneckiakanickidewbear, as I myself am trying to do. I have already sent them three e-mails generously explaining that there may be a bug involved; but I think that those certain people unjustly and unfairly reported that page. My only vindication concerning them, meanwhile, is that G-d is just and will rebuke them in time.

So, if you follow and befriend me on YouTube, Facebook (with the new, backup page at present), and Twitter; please do what you did during my time of need when I still affiliated with a certain church and kindly bug Facebook in the same way. Thank you, and Merry Christmas, L'Hanukkah Tovah v'Shabbat Shalom, and Happy New Year.

If I Wasn't 12 When I Was Told That Santa Claus Wasn't Real....

I would still be writing to Santa Claus. At 21, I have some desires that I can't get from my mom and that G-d doesn't seem to be giving me. I also read (I think) that St. Nicholas (who died in 345 A.D. (C.E.)) was an Anti Semite. But were St. Nicholas of Myra still alive and not Anti Semitic (though maybe I was confusing him with another Nicholas), I'd write to Santa Claus to give me these ten desires if he could:

1. To find the one for me-- self explanatory
2. To have dreams and visions that I need-- even the loner is content with dreams and visions; and if he or she uses them right, won't be lonely in the end. Yosef ben-Ya'akov wasn't.
3. To have the Rapture come-- self explanatory if you think about it
4. The fourth would be for more interaction and popularity at least on  Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter-- self explanatory
5. To find more relatives and family information-- you can't be lonely knowing that you're part of a family and having at least some relatives who care and, for once, believe you about at least certain things.
6. To have a pet-- self explanatory
7. To have some political cartoons published-- you can't be too lonely with some fame.
8.  To get my novels finished and published--  you can't be too lonely with some fame.
9. To firmly confirm the establishment of my Jewish lineage and find more family info, and have the unsaved in my dad's and mom's families saved while the saved ones grow in faith--  you can't be lonely knowing that you're part of a mishpacha and having at least some relatives who care and, for once, believe you about at least certain things; especially if your relatives are going to Heaven with you.
10.  To get through college successfully and to make aliyah if I can-- you can't be too lonely with some potential and success, and being where 'amikhaare.

Coincidence? Well, Co-Incidence Alright, But...

That the fourth and fitfth Yamim L'Hanukkah (Kislev 28/December 23-24 and Kislev 29/December 24-25) coincide with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is not random. Christmas Eve and Day also coincide with Shabbat (Kislev 28-29) and Yom Rishon v'Havdalah, v'Shabbat l'Notzrim (cf. Yochanahn 20:1, 9; Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2). Just think about that for a minute, whether or not you're Meshichi.  

A Short Hanukkah Story...

A Jewish boy was on the corner of a busy street in a busy city. This Jewish boy was poor and begging for money. Most of what he got was either persecution, begging, or just no money. Some gave him money, but one  who gave him money mercilessly persecuted him while giving him the money. "Here, Jew. Here's your money. Poor boy; is that all you ever think about?" Then the persecutor just walked away.

People who begged the boy for money were beggars themselves, begging for some of the money which he'd be given or asking how he'd begged. Then came a disheveled-looking, long-haired-seeming man in dirty-appearing  clothes begging for money. The boy, not knowing what else to do, gave him the money. Then the disheveled-looking man held out sevenfold the money that had been given to him. "Can I keep this?"

The boy nodded. Then the man held out tenfold of the sevenfold. "Can I keep this?" The boy nodded, more surprised than at first. A hundredfold of the tenfolded sevenfold appeared in the man's hand. Then the man gave the boy the money.

"Yeshua!" The boy cried. Then the man walked away, and the boy ran home with enough money to live for at least the next couple of days.  

What Does "Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged" Really Mean?

Luke 6:37-38

³⁷ “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” 

So is Jesus contradictory when he says the following?

Leviticus 19:15-16

¹⁵ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. ¹⁶ You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD. 

And

Leviticus 20:1-3

 ¹ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. ³ I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

Leviticus 19:15-16 calls for that "[y]ou shall do no injustice in judgment... In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor". Meanwhile, Leviticus 20:1-3 calls for that "'[w]hoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death.'" Isn't that judging (Leviticus 19:15-16) and taking a stand against the life of a neighbor (Leviticus 20:1-3)?

So what does "Judge not" mean, besides that Jesus is not at all contradictory? Don't be a hypocrite! After all, "...He repays man according to his work, And makes man to find a reward according to his way." (Job 34:11); and "...if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is." (1 Corinthians 3:12-13)

So, judge but don't be a hypocrite. "[']For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.'" Paul then was not contradictory when he said the following about a young Corinthian national:

1 Corinthians 5 (Emphasis mine)

Immorality Defiles the Church

 ¹ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named^[a] among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! ²And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. ³ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. ⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.^[b]
6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.^[c] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Immorality Must Be Judged

   
⁹ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ Yet Icertainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. 
¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”^[d]

I Have No Problem Blogging About People Except When I've Promised Not To...

Public figures, even if they're "private citizens", are automatic blog subjects. Whether former or present public figures; whether in institutions (such as churches, schools, town halls), the media, or elsewhere, they're getting blogged about if need be. If a private citizen were no-name Joe Schmo or Jane Schmane, then he or she would be most likely or almost-entirely (if not entirely) left alone. For example, a family member of a public figure is off limits unless he or she has made him or her self a public figure in any way, shape, or form.

This means that, for example,   the Huntsman daughters and Meghan McCain, both having made themselves public figures and socialites, are certainly not off limits.. So far, I've seen nothing with the Huntsman daughters or Meghan McCain that merits blog-worthy and expose criticism. I don't always agree with or condone them, but they've done nothing that I see as blog worthy-- although I must say that I agree with the point made by some astute Huffington Post readers that Meghan McCain probably criticized Callista Bisek Gingrich because she knows what having a mother who did some of the same as Mrs. Gingrich is like. 

I did note, however, “John McCain was also ailing. He was a POW come back from Vietnam and had a wife who refused to be there for her husband and let him be there for her in her pain. I speak as a disabled person who'd give to even share in someone's pain with him.” I also noted, "John McCain's now-ex wife could not honestly appreciate her husband coming back from being a POW. She had to find a reason to bitter. Newt, on the other hand, had no understand

­able reason. At least McCain also genuinely repented. I can't, being born disabled, even get anyone to share in my pain; and McCain would've put his POW ailments aside or into helping Carol McCain had she not been so bitter and refusing to share in pain."

I think that Meghan McCain gets how her dad was slighted by the then-Mrs. Carol McCain. As I said re Meghan McCain, "I've seen nothing with the Huntsman daughters or Meghan McCain that merits blog-worthy and expose criticism;" though this case for Meghan McCain-- because of Huffington Post readers merits a positive critique of Meghan McCain and how understanding and wise she is when the situation regards adultery and hypocrisy. 

In conclusion, you see how I was willing to talk about Meghan McCain, as well as even church- and school-based (among other institutional) public figures. Small- and big-time public figures be aware-- if you need to get blogged about, for good or bad, you're getting blogged about. The only exception is if I've promised not to talk about you for whatever reason.

A Prayer For the Hanukkah and Christmas Season, And the New Year; And...

To begin, I'd go to a Messianic beit knesset, but the problem is that the closest one that I can get to requires that I keep all 613 mitzvot; which is in direct contradiction with Tanakh itself: you cannot keep all 613 mitzvot and live under chen (grace) at the same time; especially since some of the mitzvot were set up to contradict with chen. Also, I am a Patrilineal Jew and would thus not be accepted as a Jew. Since being a Jewish former Catholic priest born of two Jewish parents gets one considered a mere ger tzedek and not a Yehudi; how much harder a time would a Patrilineal Jew whose own patrilineal family won't admit their Jewishness have! So, I still remain churchless and hopefully not sued like Crystal Cox was  (You can guess what a mean spirit threatened me with. As usual, I am a target of lawsuit abuse.).

Now for the prayer:

First the "Avinu" ("Our Father"), then

G-d, if it be in your will, we pray for the continuing Christmas and Hanukkah season, and for the New Year; and we also pray for the fullness of the gentiles to come in, that You might come soon. We also pray that if our desires be according to your desires and that if our desires are according to your desires (and your desires are according to our desires), and if it be in your will; that you give us the desires of our hearts. Amen.

I Will Never Talk About Chapelgate Presbyterian Church After This Again...

I have blogged all too copiously and extensively about Chapelgate. I have made my point unequivocally clear. I will never talk about Chapelgate again and do not want anyone here to talk about it unless you absolutely must-- which I assure that you probably musn't. If you'd had a bad experience with Chapelgate, however, feel free to share your experience on your own volition-- I will not pursue anyone to share anything and will also not publish anything that anyone does not want me to share.


As with Notre Dame, I once loved Chapelgate, was once a member of its community, and was very stunned to learn that it defines its own motto differently than I thought that its motto meant. Even though I now rank Notre Dame and Chapelgate as similar and a harbor a dislike for them in general, I still have to love and pray for them; and I certainly do not dislike or expect everyone there to hold themselves to account-- not everyone there has wronged me and my family, and anyone else. I can tell you that others besides me were wronged both at Notre Dame and Chapelgate, by the way; which is all I will further say besides that I draw parallels between Notre Dame and Chapelgate for good reasons.


I stand by everything which I have said about both Notre Dame and Chapelgate, even if I could've been more patient and civil in my tone. I mean only to be honest about both, especially Chapelgate at this time. An honest person is obviously about those about those who he or she loves, for good or bad. "Open rebuke is better [t]han love carefully concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, [b]ut the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." (Proverbs 27:5-6) 


But as I stated, I will never talk about Chapelgate Presbyterian Church after this again. Even if I lose friends over what I have said and over not talking about Chapelgate anymore, so be that "[t]he poor man is hated even by his own neighbor, [b]ut the rich has many friends." (Proverbs 14:20).

Repost: What Is With Everyone Suing and Prosecuting Everyone Nowadays?

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2011

What Is With Everyone Suing and Prosecuting Everyone Nowadays?

For example, Dr. Conrad Murray-- who should've lost his license but not been prosecuted. What; are my family going to be prosecuted for my aunt Mary Carole's death in 2008 when she decided not to take her insulin that day and was a determined alcoholic, anyway? We couldn't have done anything about her. And Justin Bieber-- honestly, don't sue the woman. Besides, you, Mr. Bieber, pulled a Herman Cain-- responded to legitimate allegations too late and amatuerly.

Save the prosecution for those like my granddad who ought to be prosecuted for the 2007 malice-murder-intent scenario and Social Security fraud regarding my great-grandmother Mary Trudnak Czarnecki. Save the suing for real discrimination, theft, and other lawsuit-worthy cases. Don't be frivolous or unjust in suing or prosecuting. The Criminal Justice and Corrections System in America is clogged up enough. Also-- as with Mr. Bieber--, why not resolve matters as soon as possible instead of a long time later if you have nothing to hide and something legitimate to contend?

Besides, 1 Corinthians 6 reads in part:

 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? ⁵ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
⁷ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? ⁸ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you dothese things to your brethren! ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,^[a] nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

My New Facebook Page...

Let's just say that I can't access my old one. I believe that some very-angry, vengeful people who hate me reported the old one. But as I called my new page a clean slate, I believe that my new page will work out much better. So, "Like" my new page.

Downhill-- A Poem

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"
Well, I've thrown some at my own
"If you've nothing nice to say, don't say a word"
But you might best cage the bird

We don't need the song sung out of control
We can't always let things go and just roll

Downhill-- everything's going downhill
I can't pretend that I see no evil
Or that I hear nothing
I'll speak up, say something
Downhill, everything's going downhill

Downwind-- can you catch me there in an hour?
You can't, gone with the power
Of the breeze, trav'ling whichever way it blows
But in the end-- in the shadows

You'll be, and I'll watch you from the meadows
I might even laugh as my voice bellows


Downhill-- everything's going downhill
I can't pretend that I see no evil
Or that I hear nothing
I'll speak up, say something
Downhill-- everything's going downhill

Here I am in Abraham's bosom and Paradise
And you're begging for water, and asking "Could you be nice?"
It's too late; I can't cross the chasm--
If I tried; I might fall and spasm


Downhill-- everything's going downhill
I can't pretend that I see no evil
Or that I hear nothing
I'll speak up, say something
Downhill-- everything's going downhill

(Spoken) I wouldn't want to be in your shoes
For if I was, that'd be bad news
For me, for you,
For everybody
And their all mothers, too
You probably know how the old expression goes
But if you don't, you will
I can't even briefly save your soul with witty prose
Lest I'd go downhill

I Can Only Bear So Much For So Long, And Am Extremely Patient Considering...

Isaiah 42:13-15

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹³ The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man;
      He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
      He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
      He shall prevail against His enemies.

Promise of the LORD’s Help

    ¹⁴ “ I have held My peace a long time,
      I have been still and restrained Myself.
      Now I will cry like a woman in labor,
      I will pant and gasp at once.
       ¹⁵ I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
      And dry up all their vegetation;
      I will make the rivers coastlands,
      And I will dry up the pools. 

Since the L-rd will get impatient, how much more a human? "‘The LORD is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’" (Numbers 14:18) Humans aren't like this, and I'm not the most-patient person in the world; and I can only take so much.

For example, at Notre Dame: I talked to Dr. Weiss, Dr. Berry, et. al. before telling Dr. Weiss "I'm tired of your Anti Semitism". I long had to hear how the Exodus was merely "an ancient peasant rebellion" according to Dr. Lyle Weiss, STD (who is no such position to be a Sacrae Theologiae doctor). I had to hear how the prophets may've been possibly inspired by the devil when a girl asked if that the prophets may have been so inspired was possible. And when my mom came in, I had her stay out of it until that awful conference with Dr. Franklin, Sister Sharon Kanis, and hoodwinking Melissa Lees (who made herself seem like she was against Drs. Weiss and Berry, and the whole RST Department, were teaching).

Also re Chapelgate: the only thing that I regret is ever apologizing to Mike Khandjian when he called the Ark of the Covenant "a holy piece of furniture" and I apologized for confronting him. Never will I apologize for confronting someone when they call what held the Ten Commandments and the Mercy Seat "a holy piece of furniture" again. And Cathy Dallwig (as far as I know) was in church that day. Where was the Caring Coordinator when Jewish members had to face an Anti-Semitic attack from the pastor? How caring is to say to Jews, in other words, "Your Ark of the Covenant was nothing more than a piece of furniture"?

And then the ride thing, of course. Imagine that I not to come to church for so long because I committed suicide or died of a disability-related accident? Can the dead reach out and ask for help? A Caring Coordinator or Director of Caring is supposed to notice when a member doesn't show up for a while, care that the member's not showing up, reach out to the member, and say, "Hey; you haven't shown up to church for a while. Is everything okay?"

Is the NIV Apostate? By Its Own Admission In Its Latest Version, Yes....

"Since it was first created in the 1970s, the goal of the New International Version of the Bible has been to allow Bible readers to see as much of the form and structure of the original languages as possible, while at the same time making the meaning of the Bible clear in modern English. In every verse the NIV uses the best available evangelical scholarship and the best available data on contemporary English usage to communicate God's unchanging Word as clearly as possible. Working directly from the best-attested ancient biblical manuscripts, NIV translators meet yearly to monitor changes in biblical scholarship.  The latest edition of the NIV Bible represents the fruit of this constant quest for accuracy. 

"One area on which the translators concentrated in particular for the 2011 update to the NIV was gender language. Whenever the original languages use words that are clearly intended to communicate to men and women equally, the updated NIV uses words that will be understood that way in English, like 'humans', 'people' or 'mankind'. Whenever the original languages use words that are intended to communicate specifically male ideas, like the names of God for example, the updated NIV uses words like 'he' and 'him'."

First, with the language cosmetics: unacceptable. "Whenever the original languages use words that are clearly intended to communicate to men and women equally" is understood in the original language; and when, as in most languages, the male tense is used to refer to either a masculine, or both- or neither-gender tenses. Also, "changes in biblical scholarship", which is often fickle at best nowadays, should not dictate a translation. The Holy Spirit first and foremost should (as even the Non-Messianic Jews at Yavneh recognized). Most biblical scholarship looks to discredit, not prove, the Bible.

Secondly, per Biblical scholarship itself: "Rabbi" Amy Scheinerman of the Union for Reform Judaism gives us insight into this:

"Reform Jews, however, understand the texts to have been written by human beings -- our ancestors. In my personal opinion, the texts are certainly divinely inspired and reflect our ancestors' best understanding of God and their covenant with God, as well as their view of God's will, but that is not the same as being divinely-authored. Hence, Reform Jews read the texts through the spectacles not only of a religious person, but those of the scholar as well. Some institutions are considered to be a product of the cultural milieu and societal norms of the ancient Near East when the Hebrew Scriptures were written down, and do not speak to our lives today."

"Rabbi" Scheinerman's and most Reform Jews' views reflect the purpose of Biblical scholarship in this day and age: to "read the texts through the spectacles not only of a religious person, but those of the scholar as well"; not read the texts through the Holy Spirit and test everything against the Holy Spirit. Scripture is very clear:

1. ¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰ Do not despise prophecies. ²¹ Test all things; hold fast what is good. ²² Abstain from every form of evil. (From 1 Thessalonians 5, NKJV)
2.  ¹ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that does not confess that^[a] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. (1 John 4:1-3, NKJV)

For Any Jew, Disabled Person, and Divorcee or Child Thereof, I Do Not Recommend Chapelgate Presbyterian Church...

Being a Jewish child of divorce with Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy, I actually recommend against Chapelgate Presbyterian Church. Having experienced quite the opposite of "Healing, Renewal, Peace"; I can tell you that I experienced hurt, apostasy, and chaos. I vowed not to run from Chapelgate; but as stands, I more than consider myself churchless at this point, and for good reason as many other people (including fellow Messianic Jews) do. By the way, I leave apostate Chapelgate with the following from the non-apostate New King James Version (since the NIV has been proven to be utmostly apostate):

The Lukewarm Church

   
¹⁴ “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans^[f] write, 
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: ¹⁵ “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,^[g] I will vomit you out of My mouth. ¹⁷ Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. ¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 
²² “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”
