1 Tim. 2: 9-12 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
The reason for this was verse 13: For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
So says Paul, who taught the gentiles and he got a lot of harlots that were ‘priestess’ in the other temples, their job was to service the worshipers. He needed to teach them to be more like good Jewish women that were brought up in cultural ways.
Likewise in 1 Cor. 14:34-35.
Commentaries say:
The context requires that we understand these directions as to women, in relation to their deportment in public worship, though the rules will hold good on other occasions also.
The Jewish matrons were accustomed to cry to the bride: "There is no need of paint, no need of antimony, no need of braided hair; she herself is most beautiful." The eastern women use a preparation of antimony, which they apply both to the eyes and eyelids, and by which the eye itself acquires a wonderful luster.
In modest apparel - "in seemly appearance". The adjective means properly, orderly, well-mannered, flattering; the noun in secular writings means conduct, bearing. But here "apparel." Women are apt to love fine dress; and at Ephesus the riches of some (1 Tim. 6:17) would lead them to dress luxuriously. The Greek in Titus 2:3 is a more general term meaning "manner."
Which, in Paul's sense, is the virtue which governs our whole life according to true wisdom. Not with curled hair, not with gold - Worn by way of ornament. Not with pearls - Jewels of any kind: a part is put for the whole. Not with costly raiment - These four are expressly forbidden by name to all women (here is no exception) professing godliness, and no art of man can reconcile with the Christian profession the willful violation of an express command.
1. Those that profess godliness should, in their dress, as well as other things, act as becomes their profession; instead of laying out their money on fine clothes, they must lay it out in works of piety and charity, which are properly called good works.
2. Women must learn the principles of their religion, learn Messiah, learn the Scriptures; they must not think that their sex excuses them from that learning which is necessary to salvation.
3. They must be silent, submissive, and subject, and not usurp authority.
Shamefacedness - its true origin, "shamefastness" (that which is made fast by an honorable shame); as "steadfastness".
Sobriety - "sober-mindedness": the well-balanced state of mind arising from habitual self-restraint.
With - Greek, "in."
Braided hair - literally, "plaits," that is, plaited hair: probably with the "gold and pearls" intertwined (1 Pet. 3:3). Such gaud is characteristic of the spiritual harlot (Rev. 17:4
With good works - The Greek preposition is not the same as in 1 Tim. 2:9; "by means of," or "through good works." Their adorning is to be effected by means of good works: not that they are to be clothed in, or with, them (Eph. 2:10). Works, not words in public, is their province (1 Titus 2:8, 11, 12; 1 Pet. 3:1). Works are often mentioned in the Epistles in order to oppose the loose living, combined with the loose doctrine, of the false teachers. The discharge of everyday duties is honored with the description, "good works." Good works are the only ornaments with which women professing Christianity should seek to be adorned.
Learn - not "teach" (1 Cor. 14:34 - 35). She should not even put questions in the public assembly.
With all subjection - not "usurping authority". She might teach, but not in public (Act 18:26). Noticed he was corrected by a woman. Paul probably wrote this Epistle from Corinth, where the precept (1 Cor. 14:34) was in force.
Usurp authority - "to hold it over the man", literally, "to be a dictator."
For - reason of the precept; the original order of creation.
Adam . . . first - before Eve, who was created for him (1 Cor. 11:8-9), woman was originally the inferior. Eve did not deceive Adam, but influenced him. "Thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife," Gen. 3:17. The preceding verse showed why a woman should not "usurp authority over the man." this shows why she ought not "to teach." She is more easily deceived, and more easily deceives. The woman being deceived transgressed - "The serpent deceived" her, Gen. 3:13, and she transgressed. And man is easily influenced by a pretty face – G-d told Adam the rule of what to eat and not to eat directly, Adam was to tell his wife. Question who was more at fault? The one G-d told or the mate that was sharing with her husband? Who got the worse punishment? All kinds of questions can arise from this.
But I suffer not a woman to teach - They may teach in private, in their own houses and families; they are to be teachers of good things, (Titus 2:3). They are to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the L-rd; supposable up to the age of 13 for the boys, nor is the Law or doctrine of a mother to be forsaken, any more than the instruction of a father; see (Prov. 1:8) (31:1-4). Timothy, no doubt, received much advantage, from the private teachings and instructions of his mother Eunice, and grandmother Lois, even long into his adulthood; but then women are not to teach in the church; for that is an act of power and authority, and supposes the persons that teach to be of a superior degree, and in a superior office, and to have superior abilities to those who are taught by them. Which is saying G-d is a respecter of persons and he can only call men to a public office, no were in the Old Testament do you find this, it all came from Paul’s teaching. One needed to remember who Paul is teaching too, plus many of Paul’s letters are second hand letters, we can only guess what the first letter said by the way he replied. Paul calls himself an apostle, the original 12 had a problem with this and did not accept his teachings, that’s why Peter and him buck heads.
Nor to usurp authority over the man - as not in civil and political things, or in things relating to civil government; and in things domestic, or the affairs of the family; so not in things church, or what relate to the church and government of it; for one part of rule is to feed the church with knowledge and understanding; and for a woman to take upon her to do this, is to usurp an authority over the man: this therefore she ought not to do.
A woman should attempt nothing, either in public or private that belongs to man as his peculiar function. This was prohibited by the Roman laws. The church chose to follow Roman Laws instead of G-d’s Laws, weather it is the 10 written Laws or the 613 Oral Laws.
Do you think this has to do with male egos? When a man reads a book does he first check out who it was written by – I mean you could not read if by a woman for you may learn something.
Are we not all to be students and teachers of G-d’s Word – the point is to learn regardless who teaches you.
But to be in silence - to sit and hear quietly and silently, and learn, and not teach. It was lawful for men in public assemblies to ask questions, or even interrupt the speaker when there was any matter in his speech which they did not understand; but this liberty was not granted to women.
G-d has not only rendered her unfit for it, but he has subjected her, expressly, to the government of the man, it was part of the sentence, Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee, Gen. 3:16. Only in the scene of submission onto her OWN husband.
Adam was first form than Eve. And by this very act G-d designed that he should have the supremacy. G-d fitted man, by the robust construction of his body, to live a public life, to contend with difficulties, and to be capable of great exertions. The structure of woman's body plainly proves that she was never designed for those exertions required in public life. In this the chief part of the natural inferiority of woman is to be sought.
O so true, the women was made to be a help meet, not to take over as the bread winner. Wars have brought women to the forefront to step into the man’s shoes, when the men came home from the war they needed the extra income to get ahead and soon it became a way of life for now they could buy all the extra toys for the family. There became a role rehearsal also and some men wanted to be the stay at home dads. Now this changes the role of the women and the children.
But it does not change G-d’s Word that the man is the head of the house, the wife denote her subordination to him and dependence upon him and the children are subject to both. G-d is not a respecter of persons and He has gifts and callings to ALL His children, for we are all part of His body working towards His Kingdom. Did He not say in Heaven there is no male and female – we will work together as one and whom ever is best qualified for the job will get it. G-d promotes whom He promotes.
Reality of Death
The second half of Ecclesiastes begins with a series of proverbial observations that all have to do with the question what is good? In Hebrew ‘better’ is literally ‘more good than’.
[7:1] A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
[2] It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
[3] Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
[4] The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
[5] It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
[8] Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
[17] Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
There are eight sayings making observations about the reality of death and our reaction to it, laying down some great truths which seem irony to the unthinking part, that is, the far greatest part, of mankind.
1. There is an end of man as to this world, a final period to his state here; crossing over to were he will spend eternity. We must thus be left by our friends, as the mourners are, and thus leave, as the dead do. What is the lot of others will be ours; the cup is going round, and it will come to our turn to pledge it shortly.
By way of warning: The living will lay it to his heart. Those that are spiritually alive will lay it to heart, and, as for all the survivors, some perhaps will lay that to heart, and consider their latter end, who would not lay a good sermon to heart.
2. A good name - a good reputation is of more value to its owner than the things money can buy, that is, a name for wisdom and goodness with those that are wise and good - the memory of the just; this is a good that will bring a more grateful pleasure to the mind, will give a man a larger opportunity of usefulness, and will go further, and last longer.
Day of death - That, all things considered, our going out of the world is a great kindness to us than our coming into the world was: The day of death is preferable to the birth-day; though, as to others, there was joy when a child was born into the world, and where there is death there is lamentation, yet, as to ourselves, if we have lived so as to merit a good name, the day of our death, which will put a period to our cares, and toils, and sorrows, and remove us to rest, and joy, and eternal satisfaction, is better than the day of our birth, which ushered us into a world of so much sin and trouble, vanity and vexation. We were born to uncertainty, but a good man does not die at uncertainty.
Day of one’s birth - The day of our birth clogged our souls with the burden of the flesh, but the day of our death will set them at liberty from that burden
3. Sorrow is better than laughter - Sorrow is better than laughter – that gravity and seriousness better become us, and are better for us, than mirth and jollity. The common proverb says, "An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow;" but the preacher teaches us a contrary lesson: Sorrow is better than laughter, more agreeable to our present state, where we are daily sinning and suffering ourselves, more or less, and daily seeing the sins and sufferings of others.
While we are in a vale of tears, we should conform to the temper of the climate. It is also more for our advantage; for, by the sadness that appears in the countenance, the heart is often made better.
Sadness is often a happy means of seriousness, and that affliction which is impairing to the health, estate, and family, may be improving to the mind, and make such impressions upon that as may alter its temper very much for the better, may make it humble and meek, loose from the world, penitent for sin, and careful of duty. Vexation sharpens the intellect -- I should have perished if I had not been made wretched. It will follow, on the contrary, that by the mirth and frolicsomeness of the countenance the heart is made worse, more vain, carnal, sensual, and secure, more in love with the world and more estranged from G-d and spiritual things, till it become utterly unconcerned in the afflictions.
4. Of a wise man that his heart is in the house of mourning; he is much conversant with mournful subjects, and this is both evidence and a furtherance of his wisdom. The house of mourning is the wise man's school, where he has learned many a good lesson, and there, where he is serious, he is in his element. When he is in the house of mourning his heart is there to improve the spectacles of mortality that are presented to him; nay, when he is in the house of feasting, his heart is in the house of mourning, by way of sympathy with those that are in sorrow. We should praises joy and the enjoyment of life in spite of its short-lived nature, life is too short to be wasted. The contemplation of sorrow and mourning should be done so that the heart is made glad while there is yet time for the living to do so. It is wiser to remember that life is short because remembering helps us to cherish it than foolishly to think and act as if there were no end to our personal existence.
5. Sorrow is better than laughter – that gravity and seriousness better become us, and are better for us, than mirth and jollity. The common proverb says, "An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow;" but the preacher teaches us a contrary lesson: Sorrow is better than laughter, more agreeable to our present state, where we are daily sinning and suffering ourselves, more or less, and daily seeing the sins and sufferings of others.
While we are in a vale of tears, we should conform to the temper of the climate. It is also more for our advantage; for, by the sadness that appears in the countenance, the heart is often made better.
6. Hear the rebuke of the wise - Many that would be very well pleased to hear the information of the wise, and much more to have their commendations and consolations, yet do not care for hearing their rebukes, that is, care not for being told of their faults, though ever so wisely; but therein they are no friends to themselves, for reproofs of instruction are the way of life, and, though they be not so pleasant as the song of fools, they are more wholesome. Hear not only with patience, but with pleasure for the rebuke of the wise is a sign and means of wisdom.
7. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning - Looking back on someone else’s life, we can see the sense in which it is complete. By faith see what the end will be, and with patience expect it will prove better in the end than it seemed at the beginning; their power will be broken, their wealth gotten by oppression will be wasted and gone, they will be humbled and brought down, and reckoned with for their injustice, and oppressed innocency will be both relieved and recompensed.
8. Why shouldest thou die before thy time - In the acts of righteousness govern yourself by the rules of prudence, and be not transported, no, not by a zeal for G-d, into any intemperate heats or passions, or any practices unbecoming your character or dangerous to your interests. There may be over-doing in well-doing. Self-denial and mortification of the flesh are good; but if we prejudice our health by them, and unfit ourselves for the service of G-d, we are righteous overmuch. To reprove those that offend is good, but to cast that pearl before swine, who will turn again and rend us, is to be righteous overmuch. "Make not thyself over-wise. Be not opinionative, and conceited of your own abilities. Set not up for a dictator, nor pretend to give law to, and give judgment upon, all about you. Set not up for a critic, to neither find fault with every thing that is said and done, nor busy yourself in other men's matters, as if you knew every thing and could do any thing. Why should you destroy yourself, as fools often do by meddling with strife that belongs not to them? Why should you provoke authority, and run yourself into the briers, by needless disagreements, and by going out of your sphere to correct what is amiss? Be wise as serpents; beware of men. Do not run to an excess of riot, avoid those sins that ruin their health and estate, and expose them to public justice.
Yea, also from this withdraw not your hand; never slacken your diligence, nor decrease your resolution to maintain a due good behavior, and a good government of yourself. Take hold of the bridle by which your head-strong passions must be held in from hurrying you into one mischief or other, and withdraw not thy hand from it, for you wilt not easily recover your hold again. Be conscientious, and yet be cautious, and to this exercise yourself. Govern yourself steadily by the principles of religion, and you shall find that he that fears G-d shall come forth out of all those straits and difficulties which those run themselves into that cast off that fear." The fear of the L-rd is that wisdom which will serve as a clue to extricate us out of the most intricate mazes. Honesty is the best policy. Those that truly fear G-d have but one end to serve, and therefore act steadily. G-d has likewise promised to direct those that fear Him, and to order their steps not only in the right way, but out of every dangerous way, Ps. 37:23-24.
Eight is the number of new beginnings – meaning death is not the end but a new beginning in eternity!
[7:1] A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
[2] It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
[3] Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Eight is the number of new beginnings – meaning death is not the end but a new beginning in eternity!
Days of my years
Ecc. 6:3 our life is to be reckoned rather by days than years.
Why is that, I asked myself? Pondering over the question for days and getting no answers I turned it over to the Father, “It is not how many years you live that matter, but what you did in days of your years.”
Now that is heavy and requires much more thought to consider all sides.
It has been said to me that “live is all about me,” well I sure do wish that had been true and I would have had more to say about myself in early life, no more beatings, no more verbal abuse, no more sexual abuse, no more being locked in dark closets, no more being unwanted nor unloved or abundant. No more blood running, from scars of the whip to embarrassing me in school, I might have made friends along life’s path and I would not have had to build such strong walls to hide behind to save myself from darts that keep coming my way.
But unfortunately life did not revolve around me and I can not change the feelings of others; I asked the Father if I gave off that impression that I am all it – and He answered, “You are about you – it is your walk with Me that you concentrate on. You have been a good student of My Word and studied to show yourself approved, not to empress mankind but to impress Me. You know you will be held accountable for every word, deed and action you chose to do – the great news is My daughter, is that you always come running to Me when you fall down or get into a mess, so let Me dry those tears and send you back on your course; I will see you at the finish line.”
I know I have wasted many years and many, and like my child I thought I knew better than my mother and needed to play life’s games, but as the days went on I knew that her instructions were not all that fare off from the truth and she meant to save me from more harm.
Why do we think OLD means stupid? She was far from stupid and had stumbled over the many holes in the road herself. Why do we have to learn the hard way? Each generation ignores the ones before them when in reality people never change from the beginning of time and they show who they real are = we just don’t believe then the first time.
I was told I have a “strong personality, a forceful one,” it was not meant as a complement and I questioned G-d about it. “People see in part were I see the whole picture. They do not see were you come from and what I have done in you and what I have for you. I have made you strong to endure what you were going to walk through and with your strong will, I will use for My glory for you carry My authority and you will be able to talk to the intellect and stand toe to toe with the forceful.”
As I pressed into building a relationship with my Heavenly Father I tried to mend past feelings and change circumstances but one can only change themselves.
Everyone has issues they have to deal with from chooses they had made.
So what have I done with my remanding days of my years is dealing with my own issues, trying to tear them down one by one with the Father’s help. Breaking bondages and soul-ties, and staying away from those that mean to harm me.
Daily pressing in and growing to my full potential with the Savoir of my soul, which for me involves studying the deep mysteries and working to full understanding – but the more I learn the more I have to learn – what a privilege He has given me.
I have not arrived yet – but does anyone or do we keep plugging away until the very end of life’s breath.
What are you doing with the days of your years?
Are you working towards eternity or still thinking about the here and now?
Don’t let anyone tear you down, not even your own, to strand strong you must know who you are in the L-rd and don’t look back or look down, for He has you in the palm of His hands.
Why is that, I asked myself? Pondering over the question for days and getting no answers I turned it over to the Father, “It is not how many years you live that matter, but what you did in days of your years.”
Now that is heavy and requires much more thought to consider all sides.

They do not see were you come from and what I have done in you and what I have for you. I have made you strong to endure what you were going to walk through and with your strong will, I will use for My glory for you carry My authority and you will be able to talk to the intellect and stand toe to toe with the forceful.”
As I pressed into building a relationship with my Heavenly Father I tried to mend past feelings and change circumstances but one can only change themselves.
Everyone has issues they have to deal with from chooses they had made.
So what have I done with my remanding days of my years is dealing with my own issues, trying to tear them down one by one with the Father’s help. Breaking bondages and soul-ties, and staying away from those that mean to harm me.
Daily pressing in and growing to my full potential with the Savoir of my soul, which for me involves studying the deep mysteries and working to full understanding – but the more I learn the more I have to learn – what a privilege He has given me.
I have not arrived yet – but does anyone or do we keep plugging away until the very end of life’s breath.
What are you doing with the days of your years?
Are you working towards eternity or still thinking about the here and now?
Don’t let anyone tear you down, not even your own, to strand strong you must know who you are in the L-rd and don’t look back or look down, for He has you in the palm of His hands.
Ignorance is No Exchuse
Heb. 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant.
Not merely to have compassion, but to act with moderation, and to bear with each in proportion to his ignorance, weakness, and untoward circumstances, all taken into consideration with the offences he has committed: in a word, to pity, feel for, and excuse, as far as possible; and, when the aggravation is at the highest, to moderate one's passion towards the culprit, and be ready to pardon; and when punishment must be administered, to do it in the gentlest manner.
Most men sin much through ignorance, but this does not excuse them if they have within reach the means of instruction. And the great majority of the human race sin through weakness. The principle of evil is strong in them; the occasions of sin are many; through their fall from G-d they have become exceedingly weak; ignorance itself is no excuse, when the means of strength and succor are always at hand.
As he is also a transgressor of the commands of G-d, and unable to observe the Law in its spirituality: this must teach him to have a fellow feeling for others. When for a time they had heard the Message for many years, and had professed to be Believers for a long time; on these accounts they might reasonably have been expected to be well instructed in Divine things, so as to be able to instruct others. But they have need that one teaches them for a second time the certain elements of the doctrines of the Messiah, or oracles of G-d.
They had once been better instructed, and had now forgotten that teaching; and this was occasioned by their being dull of hearing; either they had not continued to hear, or they had heard so carelessly that they were not profited by what they heard. They had probably totally omitted the preaching of the
G-d’s Word, and consequently forgotten all they had learned.
What kind of a student do you choice to be?
1. Milk is a metaphor that express the first principles of religion and science (refers to the doctrines of the Law, which were the instructions given on how to conduct your life); and they apply sucking to learning; and every student in his novitiate, or commencement of his studies, was likened to an infant that derives all its nourishment from the breast of its mother, not being able to digest any other kind of food. He that uses milk-rests in the ceremonies and observances of the Law, is unskillful in the doctrine of justification; for this requires faith in the sacrificial death of the promised Messiah.
These are people that got saved but went no further.
2. The tattler stays in-between, crawling around undecided if he wants to grow up or not and take responsibility for his life and actions.
These people become lukewarm and in danger of backsliding.
3. On the contrary, those who had well learned all the first principles of religion and science, and knew how to apply them, were considered as adults who were capable of receiving and teaching.
The high and sublime doctrines of Christianity; the atonement, justification by faith, the gift of the Holy Ghost, the fullness of the Messiah dwelling in the souls of men, triumph in and over death, the resurrection of the body, the glorification of both body and soul in the realms of blessedness, and an endless union with the Messiah in the throne of His glory. This is the strong food which the genuine Believer understands, receives, digests, and by which he grows.
Who, by constant hearing, believing, praying, and obedience, use all the graces of G-d's Spirit; and, in the faithful use of them, find every one improved, so that they daily grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the Father our L-rd.
How far one grows depends on their choice to have ears to hear and receive instruction.
Heb. 5:14 But strong meat belonged to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
The deeper mysteries of religion belong to those that are of a higher class in the school of Scholars, who have learned the first principles and well improved them; so that by reason of use they have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil, duty and sin, truth and error. Searching into the deep things of G-d; and of receiving and digesting the more sublime truths religion, their spiritual senses, the internal senses of the understanding and judgment, signified by external ones; as by seeing the Spirit; hearing the voice of the Father; savoring or smelling a sweet odor in the things of G-d, and the Messiah; tasting that the L-rd is gracious; feeling and handling the word of life, as these are held forth in the everlasting Gospel: and these being exercised on their proper object, by use, an habit is contracted; and such are qualified for discerning, as between moral good and evil, and the worse and better state of the Believers, and between Law and Gospel, so between the doctrines of G-d, and the doctrines of men; who find they differ: the doctrines of G-d such experienced persons find to be good, wholesome, nourishing, and salutary; and the doctrines of men to be evil, to eat, as does a canker, and to be destructive, poisonous, and damnable; and the discernment they make, and the judgment they form, are not according to the dictates of carnal reason, but according to the Scriptures of truth, and their own experience.
Having their senses exercised signifies the different organs of sense, as the eyes, ears, tongue, and palate, nose, and finger ends, and the nervous surface in general, through which we gain the sensations called seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling. These organs of sense, being frequently exercised or employed on a variety of subjects, acquire the power to discern the various objects of sense: all objects of light; difference of sounds; of tastes or savors; of odours or smelling; and of hard, soft, wet, dry, cold, hot, rough, smooth, and all other tangible qualities.
There is something in the soul that answers to all these senses in the body. And as universal nature presents to the other senses their different and appropriate objects, so religion presents to these interior senses the objects which are suited to them.
There are spiritual senses as well as those that are natural. There is a spiritual eye, a spiritual appetite, a spiritual taste; the soul has its sensations as well as the body; these are much depraved and lost by sin, but they are recovered by grace. It is by use and exercise that these senses are improved, made more quick and strong to taste the sweetness of what is good and true, and the bitterness of what is false and evil. Not only reason and faith, but spiritual sense, will teach men to distinguish between what is pleasing and what is provoking to G-d, between what is helpful and what is hurtful to our own souls.
So these employ and improve all their G-d given powers, and in using grace and get more mercy; and thus, being able to discern good from evil, they are in little danger of being imposed on by false doctrine, or by the pretensions of hypocrites; or of being deceived by the subtleties of Satan. They feel that their security depends, under G-d, on this exercise-on the proper use which they make of the grace already given them by G-d. Can any reader be so dull as not to understand this?
These are the means by which the soul is rendered comfortable, and through which it derives its happiness and perfection.
1 Cor. 2:6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
Rev. 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Not merely to have compassion, but to act with moderation, and to bear with each in proportion to his ignorance, weakness, and untoward circumstances, all taken into consideration with the offences he has committed: in a word, to pity, feel for, and excuse, as far as possible; and, when the aggravation is at the highest, to moderate one's passion towards the culprit, and be ready to pardon; and when punishment must be administered, to do it in the gentlest manner.

Deut 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the L-RD thy G-d hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the L-RD thy G-d giveth thee.

Mark. 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Luke 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Matt. 15:4 For G-d commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

How many times does G-d have to repeat Himself before one sees it is a command not a choice?
The times that were foretold long ago are starting now:
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Love, honour, and respect are slowing disappearing, children think they can instruct the parents and do not value all that was sacrificed for them.
If you encourage them with advice from your past experiences it is called judging.
If you give them everything they wanted, it is your fault they can not do without.
If you give them presents, it is expected for you owe them since you gave them life.
Children have become takers that never feel like they have to give anything back, after all they are struggling to make a life for themselves – was life easer for you?
Surprisingly they manage to have nice things for themselves or their family and you can count on a great explanation why they needed it and you don’t, and they can't afford to pay you back on at the scedual time and amount.
In ones old age, parents use to look toward to the children in helping were they can no longer function, and it was natural to want too return all that was done for them.
But the Good Book says the day was coming were children will despise them for asking, and the natural love will be over, for it will be every man for themselves.
I thought it would be in my great-great grandchildren’s day but it is much sooner than we think. The world will not be as we remembered it, and change is not always for the better.

Tips on Juicing
You have a choice sickness or health with daily juicing and becoming disease free. The first thing you need to do is detoxify yourself, but you still must eat a little bit of fiber. Fiber is essential, it exercises the gums, and it helps escalate and cleans the colon out from excess bacteria. It is the juice that is in the fiber that is important and has to be released to feed you.
There are four basic food groups:
1. Animal products (fish, beef, pork, chicken).
2. Dairy products (milk, cheese, eggs). The cow gets its calcium from grass; parsley with carat will give you 10 times more than what is in the milk.
1/4 of a glass with greens, adding 1/4 with celery and top off with carat.
Another great drink for calcium is handful spearmint leaves with 1-2 apples that is delicious.
All sprouts are chuck full of calcium.
3. Fruit and vegetables.
4. Nuts, seeds and grain.
The first two groups are “dead food groups” that are starting to spoil at 102 degrees F, and totally destroyed at 126 degrees F. Dead food or cook food in the body puts a burden on pancreas for now the pancreas has to try to produce the enzymes that is lacking and starts to swell up 3-4 times its original size. Now it can not function in its original job and starts pulling in other organs to help, which tare then down and you start aging faster. Cooked food ages us prematurely and you can not revive the human body with something that is dead. Live food gives a live body with cells and tissues.
The last two groups are “live food groups”, which eating only these kinds of food will give you a long healthy life. Live foods are foods that have enzymes, you may freeze them but they are only destroyed by heat.
When eating raw food you need to chew every mouth full at least 20 times and the reason for this is to mix your saliva evenly with the vegetation which then will break the carbohydrates down to starches and sugars, now the body has to prepare it and break it down. Your body is working like a juice distracter trying to separate the juice from the fiber to digest it. The fiber has to travel all the way through your body to go out the rectum; it is the juice of the fiber that feeds you.
When you juice you separate the juice from the fiber and drink it you get 100% of the food value and it goes into your blood stream in a matter of minuets and the body did not exert any energy and everything is pre-digested.

I personaly like to start out with a Juicing Fasting
Juicing fast is often recommended because of the healing properties that vegetables and fruits possess. While an extra boost of energy can be enjoyed from this type of fasting, also includes a healthy cleansing and detoxification of the body. A less restrictive method can be found in a de-tox diet that incorporates fruit juices with other foods, such as grains, nuts and seeds.
It is recommended to have a juice intake of between 32 and 64 ounces per day. In addition to this, at least six glasses of water at room temperature is necessary.
Get enough sleep at night.
Add in protein in the form of supplements after the third day.
You should insure that you only do juicing diets at the most twice per year.
You want to keep your diet during these few weeks to just fruits, vegetables, raw nuts and beans that are organic.
The best vegetables to use when juicing for weight loss are “negative calorie foods” – those that require more calories to digest than they contain. Dark greens, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage are among the best vegetables to use in juice recipes for weight loss. Also consider using asparagus, cucumber, and celery, which are natural diuretics that can alleviate water retention.
In addition, carrot juice and parsley juice can help to maintain blood sugar levels, which will help prevent hunger. Since carrot juice is sweet, it can also help to satisfy sugar cravings. Another vegetable to try in juices if you have a sweet tooth is Jerusalem artichoke. However, although it reduces sugar cravings, Jerusalem artichoke is bland, so it best combined with carrot, parsnip or lemon juice to bring out its flavor.
In addition to vegetables that support fat burning, there are a number of spices that can help stimulate metabolism as well. As you might expect, these include “hot” spices like cayenne, allspice, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and coriander.
Cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder are other spices you can use to support the fat burning process when you are juicing for weight loss.
If you must store your juice for long-term storage, one way it can be done is how people have been preserving fresh-made apple cider for many years.. they freeze it.. Of course, this should only be used as a last option and is not recommended, fresh is best.
Freeze Juice in Ice Cube Trays for longer storage. (The freezer causes more degradation than the fridge, so only do if necessary) Freeze larger volumes of juice is plastic "milk-type" jugs or plastic "water bottles". Defront and consume the whole juice after it’s defrosted.
You can pre freeze (or chill) the storage container to help keep the juice cold. When you fill your storage container, be sure to fill it to the brim, and maybe even overfill it a little before putting on the lid on the container. (You can add purified water if you do not have enough juice to completely fill the container) This is to minimize the air that is contained inside the container along with the juice. It is this air that causes some degradation of the juice. Remember to keep your juice COLD.
How many calories and grams of carbohydrates are in an 8-ounce glass?
100% Vegetable Juices contain 50 calories, are naturally fat-free, have 10 grams of carbs, and provide 2 servings of vegetables = ½ cup, 3 servings in a 12-ounce glass in every 8-ounce glass. Daily Recommendations = 2 ½ cups of a variety of vegetables for a 2,000 calorie diet.
Orange juice contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
You need to lose at a slow and steady rate for best results. A safe and healthy rate is no more than two (2) pounds per week. This is the goal you should aim for in your weight loss program.
Lose 1 pound per week - Reduce your weekly intake of calories by 3,500 calories (3,500 divided by 7 days equals 500 calories per day).
Lose 2 pounds per week - Reduce your weekly intake of calories by 7,000 calories (7,000 calories divided by 7 days equals 1,000 calories per day).
It is very simple logic - To cut out either the 500 or 1,00 calories a day, you can either eat less calories or burn more calories by exercising. Or, to make it an easier goal to achieve, try a combination of eating fewer calories, and burning more calories more a day by exercising.
Remember that extra calories eaten and not burned off by exercise will turn into extra weight. Doesn't this sound simple? You absolutely need to regulate the calories you eat every day in order to either lose weight or to maintain your weight.
