Enin, I hope your fasting is going well. In my belief removing anger towards others is just as hard as giving up food or temptations of the flesh. Matthew 6 May you receive the Holy Spirit.

The Didache - The Teaching Chapter 2 This is one of the best lessons I have learned. Matthew 6 Isaiah 58 James 4 Luke 12 Psalms 34 Luke 11

The Didache - The Teaching It is interesting that the Didache is the only document that definitively bans abortion. But, the bible is clear about the unborn being individuals, including Jesus Christ. Chapter 2 Exodus 21 - The Law Adonai wants his creation to be fruitful and multiply. Genesis 1 We are all born from transgressions of ancestors. We are not perfect, but each one of us receives the most perfect gift at the moment of conception. Life is nothing to waste. Psalms 51 Purification with water was understood long before John the Baptist. I remember when my son was still in his mother's womb. I would joke and sing to him and he would kick his mother's belly. I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to be his father. A child has awareness in the womb. Mothers, Fathers, Judges, members of Congress, Presidents, Governors, and all public servants need to respect a child's right to life. Luke 1 In the past abortions procedures were quite dangerous. It is written in the bible that women had the option to sacrifice their children to pagan idols. Leviticus 18 Ezekiel 16 Deuteronomy 12 - The Law 2 Kings 8

Still focusing on the use of magic and sorcery. The Didache - The Teaching Chapter 2 Everything happens for a reason. The choice to "practice Magic" is the same as choosing to practice a sport. With repeated practical application of an activity or skill one will grow greater proficiency in it. What is the main reason one chooses to practice magic? Do we look for supernatural power to change circumstance and understand in the unknown? The Founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Szandor LaVey, defined magic as "the change in situations or events in accordance with one's will, which would, using normally accepted methods, be unchangeable." This definition incorporates two broadly distinguished kinds of Magic: Lesser (manipulative and situational) and Greater (ritual and ceremonial) Portrait of Magus Anton Szandor LaVey with a large snake Atheists argue humans have no power or authority to manipulate the natural by marshaling the supernatural, because the supernatural does not exist. Atheists will accept formulated theories to manipulate the natural that are supported by scientific evidence. Both theory and faith experience and identify the unknown through physical sensation from one of the recognized senses. This includes visions, dreams, voices, and other sounds, smells, feelings, etc. Both theory and faith of the unknown can be taught to others through many forms of media. Through practice and contemplation a student can be enlightened to understand and accept the teachings given to them. Some are able to understand a particular concept of the unknown but do not accept the teachings given to them. Mind Reading with Functional MRI Scientists use brain imaging to predict what someone is looking at. This Guy Just Built a Mind-Controlled Robot Japan team to name element 113 in Asian first Fact or Fiction?: Lead Can Be Turned into Gold Particle accelerators make possible the ancient alchemist’s dream After more practice and contemplating a student may find a school of thought, or a intellectual or spiritual tradition that he or she can accept. Within a particular school of thought a student may gain fellowship with a collection or group of people who share common characteristics of opinion or outlook of the unknown. After more practice and contemplating a student may refine, or not accept a particular school of thought of the unknown. After more practice and contemplating a student may learn to recognize a pattern with two or more schools of thought that he or she can except. An example you will notice in my writing is a pattern of surfacing the meaning of eternal life and death and damnation taken from many schools of thought. The practice and contemplating the unknown can last a life time and lead to greater understanding or madness of never finding the truth. Here is one path of a humanist who created the Church of Satan from his beliefs of the unknown. Anton Szandor LaVey was born to a Russian father and Ukrainian mother who had immigrated to Ohio in 1893. His bacground comes from working with animals in a circus and playing music in a carnival. LaVey eventually became assistant to a magician, learned hypnosis, and studied more about the occult. After he gained enough insight on the dark arts LaVey saw a need for a mew church that combined humanist psychology with fantasy ritual and symbols. LaVeys new Church of Satan formluted a psychodrama that intended to focus on expending emotional powers within each individual that cannot ordinarily be released or even understood on their own. A psychodrama is an action method, often used as a psychotherapy, in which clients use spontaneous dramatization, role playing and dramatic self-presentation to investigate and gain insight into their lives. psychodrama includes elements of theater, often conducted on a stage, or a space that serves as a stage area, where props can be used. Satanism is based on neopaganism and hedonism ideas and actions which flow with human nature. But, magical power and authority originate and flow froom god or goddess. Each person is their own redeemer and is fully responsible for the direction of their own life. Satanist believe that humanity is no longer willing to wait for any afterlife that promises to reward the clean and pure spirit. Satanist are Agnostics or Atheists that do not worship a living diety. Any "magician" is worthy of his name will be able release the necessary force (bioelectrical energy) from his own body in a heightened state of emotion. Satanic Bible THE BOOK OF BELIAL THE MASTERY OF THE EARTH THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SATANIC MAGIC (Definition and Purpose) The Magic Circle The Magic Circle is a British organization, founded in London in 1905, dedicated to promoting and advancing the art of magic. The Magic Circle was founded in 1905 after a meeting of 23 amateur and professional magicians at London's Pinoli's Restaurant. The motto of the society is the Latin indocilis privata loqui, roughly translated as "not apt to disclose secrets" (lit. "incapable [of] speaking [of] private [things]") ; members give their word not to willfully disclose magic secrets other than to bona fide students of magic. Anyone breaking this or any other rule may be expelled. Members of the Magic Circle include: Charles, Prince of Wales, Luis de Matos,Michael Vincent, Dynamo, John Archer, Walter Rolfo, and Stephen Fry. Magicians have been have an intuitive knowledge of how the mind works.Neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde, the founders of the exciting new discipline of NeuroMagic — and also members of the Magic Castle, Magic Circle, International Brotherhood of Magicians, and the Society of American Magicians — have convinced some of the world’s greatest magicians to allow scientists to study their techniques for tricking the brain. What was revealed is that people are not able to focus on multiple tasks at once. A good magician knows how neuro focus and association properties in your mind work and use this against you. Neuro-magic: Magician uses magic tricks to study the brain’s powers of perception and memory Both psychodrama and stage magic do not get power from the unknown to create their illusions. Although psychodrama uses elements of ritual magic for effect, it clearly states that there is no supernatural force creating the illusion. The main problem of Satanism is the rejection of our Creator and placing ourselves as gods. Some modern illusionists believe that it is unethical to give a performance that claims to be anything other than a clever and skillful deception. Most of these performers therefore eschew the term "magician" (which they view as making a claim to supernatural power) in favor of "illusionist" and similar descriptions; for example, the performer Jamy Ian Swiss makes these points by billing himself as an "honest liar." The problem arises when performers say that magical acts, as a form of theater, need no more of a disclaimer than any play or film; this policy is advocated by the magician and mentalist Joseph Dunninger, who states "For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice." For this reason the issue of deception will be a continuous divide between those with faith and those that practice the art of illusion. What about real magic? Magic consists of words (spells and curses) and ritual meant to produce a desired result by the coercion or supplication of supernatural forces unknown to Agnostics and not accepted by Atheists. The word "magic" derives from Greek magikos, with "magic" being the art and craft of the magos, the Greek word for followers of "Zoroaster" (i.e. either Zoroaster or Pseudo-Zoroaster). The relationship with "magic" derives from the Hellenistic identification of (Pseudo-)Zoroaster as the "inventor" of both astrology and magic. This was in turn influenced by (among other factors) the Greek penchant for seeking hidden meanings in words; the name "Zoroaster" was presumed to have something to do with the stars (-astr), while magos was perceived to have to do with goēs, the old Greek word for "magic" (in the modern sense). However, in the main, (Pseudo-) Zoroaster seems to have been almost exclusively identified with astrology, and magic then remained the domain of other (real or putative) "magians" such as the synthetic "Ostanes". In 2005, the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy ranked Zarathustra as first in the chronology of philosophers. Zarathustra's impact lingers today due in part to the system of rational ethics he founded called Mazda-Yasna. The word Mazda-Yasna is avestan and is translated as "Worship of Wisdom" in English. Zoroastrians later educated the Greeks, who used a similar term, philosophy, or “love of wisdom,” to describe the search for ultimate truth.Elements of Zoroastrian philosophy entered the West through their influence on Judaism and Middle Platonism. Among the classic Greek philosophers, Heraclitus is often referred to as inspired by Zoroaster's thinking. Detail of The School of Athens by Raphael, 1509, showing Zoroaster (left, with star-studded globe). The Vatican Museums The Avestan word 'magâunô', i.e. the religious caste of the Medes, (see Yasna 33.7:' ýâ sruyê parê magâunô ' = 'so I can be heard beyond Magi'), seems to be the origin of the term. The term only appears twice in Iranian texts from before the 5th century BCE, and only one of these can be dated with precision. This one instance occurs in the trilingual Behistun inscription of Darius the Great, and which can be dated to about 520 BCE. In this trilingual text, certain rebels have 'magian' as an attribute; in the Old Persian portion as maγu- (generally assumed to be a loan word from Median). The meaning of the term in this context is uncertain. The other instance appears in the texts of the Avesta, i.e. in the sacred literature of Zoroastrianism. In this instance, which is in the Younger Avestan portion, the term appears in the hapax moghu.tbiš, meaning "hostile to the moghu", where moghu does not (as was previously thought) mean "magus", but rather "a member of the tribe" or referred to a particular social class in the proto-Iranian language and then continued to do so in Avestan. Ahmadi (Ahmadiyya) Muslims view Zoroaster (Zarathustra) as a Prophet of God and describe the expressions of Ahura Mazda, the God of goodness and Ahraman, the God of evil as merely referring to the coexistence of forces of good and evil enabling humans to exercise free will. Mirza Tahir Ahmad, the fourth Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, in his book Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth views Zoroaster as Prophet of God and describes such the expressions to be a concept which is similar to the concepts in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many orthodox Muslims consider the Ahmadiyya either kafirs or heretics. Zarathustra appears in the Bahá'í Faith as a "Manifestation of God", one of a line of prophets who have progressively revealed the Word of God to a gradually maturing humanity. Zoroaster thus shares an exalted station with Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb, and the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, Bahá'u'lláh. The prophet Bahá'u'lláh is believed to have fulfilled the messianic expectations of the monotheistic faiths. Many orthodox Muslims consider the Ahmadiyya either kafirs or heretics. An unrelated term, but previously assumed to be related, appears in the older Gathic Avestan language texts. This word, adjectival magavan meaning "possessing maga-", was once the premise that Avestan maga- and Median (i.e. Old Persian) magu- were co-eval (and also that both these were cognates of Vedic Sanskrit magha-). While "in the Gathas the word seems to mean both the teaching of Zoroaster and the community that accepted that teaching," and it seems that Avestan maga- is related to Sanskrit magha-, "there is no reason to suppose that the western Iranian form magu (Magus) has exactly the same meaning" as well. But it "may be, however," that Avestan moghu (which is not the same as Avestan maga-) "and Medean magu were the same word in origin, a common Iranian term for 'member of the tribe' having developed among the Medes the special sense of 'member of the (priestly) tribe', hence a priest." This would be similar to a Levitical priest of the Jewish Torah. Many of the spells of the Yashts specify that only a close relative (moghu) of direct descent from Zarathustra, that is a priest (many priests claimed descent from Zarathustra) be allowed to learn a spell and magic ritual. This was especially true in the case of that most powerful magic, such as feather and line magic. Avestan moghu like Jewish kohanim are traditionally believed and halakhically required to be of direct descent from the biblical Aaron. Revelation 21 Romans 6 Ask yourself why does our Creator condemn those that practice magic? This is video shows those that do blasphemy against Jesus. I pray that they never go against the Holy Spirit, the Lord Giver of Life. Be careful not to affront the Lord's enemies without permission. Acts 19 Deuteronomy 18 - The Law Scripture shows that Jesus gave his disciples the power over both flesh and spirit. Matthew 10 Spiritual power comes from Jesus through his Holy Spirit. Acts 13 Romans 8 Speaking in Tongues Medical Study I am looking to find whether speaking in tongues is considered prayer. http://youtu.be/NZbQBajYnEc Jesus states not repeat your prayer requests to our Father over and over. I have listened to tongues and there is a repetition of babble, pitch, volume, speed and intensity. Matthew 6

What about receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit?

The Didache - The Teaching Chapter 2 Simon considered the Gift of the Holy Spirit as wondrous magic that he wanted to possess. He did not understand that receiving the Holy Spirit is a gift of Adonai the Father with a will of its own. Acts 8 Simon did not fully realize his transgression and asked the Apostles to tell Jesus to forgive him. But, what he should have done is ask himself. For forgiveness comes from within. Thus the Holy Spirit knew the inner most thoughts of Simon and never came upon Him. Matthew 12 Take a break and listen to Hillsong - I Surrender http://hillsongcollected.com/creative/song-story-i-surrender When a person breaks away from a demon. That demon looks for a way to come back home using the power of greater evil. Until you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit surround yourself with those that have. Luke 11 Holy Spirit teaches us through the apostles and prophets, the water of Jesus’ and our baptism, and the blood of Christ's crucifixion and our personal sacrifice. 1 John 5 Since our bodies cannot stand fire, we must be purified through water. Numbers 31 A man who believes Jesus is his savior and does evil deeds is no different from a demon who is subject to Christ's will. James 2 In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would at times enter mortals to do Adonai's will. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit will remain as long as we remain resolute in following the words of Jesus, Adonai's son. Psalm 51 Here we find that power of mortal flesh living in sin is not greater than evil spirits. But evil bows down before the will of Jesus. Mark 5 I can only imagine what was in the minds of the herdsman who witnessed such an event. A mentally dangerous man they could not control was calmed by Jesus with a few words. Then moments later all their livestock stampede a lake and perish. What may not have been noticed by the herdsman is the mercy Jesus bestowed on the sinner and the land of Gerasenes. Evil had been vanquished by the power of Christ.

I would like to understand the concept of selfless fruit of work.

Scripture states that Mary exalted in joy with the gift she had been given from Adonai. Luke 1 Jesus was not only Mary's obedient mortal son, but the Messiah as well. Christ also had greater responsibilities following the will of Adonai the Father. Jesus did not rebuke the woman that blessed his mother. But, he did reveal that the spirit is greater than the flesh. Those that follow the will of the Holy Spirit of Adonai are truly blessed. Luke 11 As Jesus matured his realization of His destiny became clear. Christ was Adonai's son. Matthew 12 In Jesus darkest hour he made sure that his mortal mother Mary was cared for. John 19

I think Western Christians like myself if you write in the context of Hindu Prophets and Saints.

I do not believe that God is afraid of anything. Adonai is the Creator and Destroyer of everything. And Jesus is his only begotten Son. Before Jesus ascended to heaven he gave a clear message to his disciple. John 14

What you state has merit. Practice what you pray. You also mention Jesus. In my faith the Holy Spirit is the intermediary to Jesus. When I pray to the Holy Spirit I ask Jesus to act on behalf of Adonai the Father. If you have a chance. Please read my posting on the Didache (The Teaching of Christ's Apostles)

Judge Reggie Walton of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued ruling in favor of Yahoo Here is background of Judge Walton In another FISA case the ACLU filed a motion to see the court's opinion of the constitutionality of the Patriot Act. The Court cited a 1986 case where Robert Diaz was accused of 12 patient murders while acting as a nurse at the Community Hospital of the Valleys in Perris, California. The defendant requested that the public be excluded from the proceedings. The Magistrate granted the unopposed request because of the national attention that the case had garnered. At the end of the hearing the Press-Enterprise requested that the transcripts be released, but the request was denied and the records were sealed. How much of our Freedom do we have to give up in the land of the Free? How much protection is needed in the home of the Brave?

The Didache - The Teaching Chapter Two The Didache - The Teaching Chapter 2 Matthew 15 The path of righteousness is opposed by many. 1 Peter 4

The Didache - The Teaching Chapter Two The Didache - The Teaching Chapter 2 God is the one is able to judge the inner most thoughts of His creation. The wicked will destroy themselves. Psalms 7 - The Wisdom Young children have little concern about their personal prestige and position in relation to people around them. The material approach is to teach the value of money and how hard work bring opportunity to climb the social latter. But, God wants parents to nurture their children to be ethically and morally pure. Any person (parent, teacher, neighbor) who corrupts a child of the Lord to live in sin is spiritually dead. Matthew 17 1 John 2 Children of God it is our time now. Listen to Third Day - Children of God Mark 9 - The Revelation Matthew 5 - The Revelation Here is a comedy that describes an extremely bad teacher

I am continuing my discourse on verses 2:1 through 2:7. I like to thank all those that taken the time to instant message me their thoughts and feelings of this subject. The Didache - The Teaching Chapter Two Those that believe in God can gain wisdom by looking at past history to understand the behavior those that do not have faith. Scripture states that Atheist are blind to understanding their persecution of the righteous. I know in the past that I have looked at fanatics as lunatics. Psalms 14 - Wisdom God's law is a moral framework for the faithless to follow. But, Scripture states that the faithless have and will always rebel against God's will. 1 Timothy From what I have read in the Bible is that God does not us to worry about neighbors mocking our faith. Rather God wants us to be an example to His teachings and commands. He will take care of the rest. Galatians 6 Scripture states that if you living against the will of God, then do not expect His blessings. John 9 Does God consider worship rituals of more value than living righteous (morally and ethically pure) and following his commandments? Isaiah 1 God has wisely delegated the responsibility of judging ethical acts to human governments, moral acts to church congregations, and the behavior of children to their parents. But, we need to pay attention to what is important. Take a mental break and watch Jeff Bethke's The "Unforgivable" Sin. Kevin Wilson - Don't Sweat The Small Stuff Just hold on when times get tough. Keep the faith and love your fellow man.

The Didache - The Teaching Chapter Two The righteous will receive the gift of eternal life. Matthew 19 - The Revelation One person commented to me that most Christians would rear back in horror at the thought of selling all their property to supply everyone's needs. I think that is why Christ states that the rich have it the toughest. Take a break and watch Pastor Vincent Pannizzo minister to homeless and teach the Gospel of Christ. Matthew 19 - The Revelation For those men there who are having marriage problems. Unless your partner is cheating on you Jesus wants you to not give up on your partner. Matthew 5 - The Revelation All people are created equal. Prejudice is not tolerated by God.Prejudice in the legal profession are judgments toward people or a person because of gender, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race/ethnicity, language, nationality or any other personal characteristics. If your judgement has prejudice then Scripture states that you are not only breaking one part of God's law your are guilty of breaking God's whole law. James 2 - The Revelation James clearly states that Judges that show bias and no mercy are not only breaking State law, more importantly they are violating God's law. Do no harm to your neighbor verbally and physically. Matthew 5 - The Revelation The Lord wants us to stop judging our neighbors and focus on purifying ourselves. Matthew 7 - The Revelation Those with faith that learning the path of the righteous must heed the words of Christ. Mark 2 - The Revelation Judgement only comes from above. Jude 1
