Global hunger exists mostly because many useless nations do not produce, but they are able to engage in national conflict, corruption, civil wars, war with neighbor(s), military coups d'etat , destructive behavior. Nations like Sudan have no reasons to exist. The UN mismanages. China should not waste its hard-earned resources. The international community should not give aid to violent and worthless nations.
I hold if America continues financing high deficits and debts, and foreign wars BY printing money, America is committing suicide intending or not. The day of reckoning is near.
- JEFFREY SACHS
America’s history of interference abroad is well-documented, but did other countries not have a motive too? Other likely suspects could feasibly include Ukraine, but also Russia itself — chaotic, irrational behaviour is not an uncommon characteristic of Putin’s Russia. Besides, was it not a slight stretch of the imagination to claim that the US would order the destruction of a piece of public infrastructure that partly belongs to a NATO ally?
Sachs dismissed these questions as as “absurd” and declared that those who didn’t believe America would act against allies in pursuit of its own interests “don’t really know the US.” He believes that decades of antagonistic relations with Russia culminated in the Nord Stream attack, which American foreign policymakers have long viewed as a threat.
According to Sachs, the America neoconservative view of Russia and the war has now become mainstream. Where Europe’s acquisition of cheap Russian gas was once viewed as ‘trade’, it is now seen as a dependency. That said, the small detail of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have played a part in that.”
The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony, warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.
The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

The fake claim and biggest black lie is black Jews. Abraham was not a Negro, the twelve tribes of Israel were not Negroes. David was not a Negro. Jesus was born a Jew, not a Negro. There are no black Jews. Merriam Webster defines Negro as a person of Black African ancestry. The Biblical Jews are neither black nor African.
The two-state proposal is not the two-state solution. For God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. The Chosen People rebelled against God and they were scattered all over the world. During the British colonial rule, the Holy Land was known as Palestine, illegal Arabs moved in to occupy the Holy Land without payment. The illegal Arabs were latter known as Palestinians. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas have no claim to the Holy Land and no resettlement right in the Holy Land. They do not own one inch of the Jewish land, they now illegally occupied the Promised Land; Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas must at once leave the Jewish land for good. The leaders of the United Kingdom could tell them so. Palestinians could never establish a Palestinian state in the Holy Land. The United Nations or any agency has no authority to give the Jewish land to Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas. Jerusalem is forever the capital of the great King David. It is high time for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Holy Land in peace; or they will be evicted by force. God will fight for Jerusalem, for God is the Protector of Israel. Palestine only existed in British colonial rule, so Palestinians are not free in Israel; they must be expelled from Jerusalem and the Jewish land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. They are free to go to Arab nations. Palestinians and Hamas must withdraw from the Jewish land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants without delay. Any strategy to bargain away the Jewish land is wrong.
-----THIS ARTICLE IS WRITTEN FOR YOU TO KNOW SOME OF THE NAMES AND TITLES OF OUR LORD.
By the names and titles of the Lord Jesus Christ we may learn also the attributes, nature and character of the Lord. For example, Jesus is Mighty God. From this we learn our God is Mighty, there is none like Him. We also learn from the following Scripture that Jesus Christ is our Eternal Father. Thus we can be sure that our Eternal Father is also our Heavenly Father, Righteous Father and Holy Father. It is blasphemy to call the Catholic pope the Holy Father, because we have no other Father.
This listing of the names of the Lord is not done systematically or alphabetically, I am only doing it by memory.
A). Isa 9:6,
“For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders;
and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”
1). Wonderful Counselor
2). Mighty God
3). Eternal Father
4). Prince of Peace
According to https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/bnb/isaiah-9.html
“Wonderful - פלא pele'. This word is derived from the verb פלא pâlâ', to separate, to distinguish, or to make great. It is applied usually to anything that is great or wonderful, as a miracle; Exodus 15:2; Lamentations 1:9; Daniel 12:6. It is applied here to denote the unusual and remarkable assemblage of qualities that distinguished the Messiah. Those are specified more particularly in the other part of the verse; such an assemblage of quailties as to make proper the names Mighty God, etc. ‘The proper idea of the word,’ says Hengstenberg, ‘is miraculous. It imports that the personage here referred to, in his being and in his works, will be exalted above the ordinary course of nature, and that his whole manifestation will be a miracle.’ Yet it seems to me, that the proper idea of the word is not that of miraculous. It is rather that which is separated from the ordinary course of events, and which is suited to excite amazement, wonder, and admiration, whether it be miraculous or not.
This will be apparent if the following places are examined, where the word occurs in various forms. It is rendered marvelous, Psalms 118:23; Psalms 139:14; Psalms 98:1; Job 5:9; wonderful, 2 Samuel 1:26; Psalms 139:14; Proverbs 30:18; Job 42:3; Psalms 72:18; Psalms 86:10; hidden, Deuteronomy 30:2; things too high, Psalms 131:1; miracles, Judges 6:13; Exodus 15:2; Psalms 77:14; Psalms 88:10; Psalms 89:5; the word is translated wonders, in the sense of miracles, in several places; and hard, Deuteronomy 17:8; Jeremiah 32:17. From these passages, it is clear that it may denote that which is miraculous, but that this idea is not necessarily connected with it. Anything which is suited to excite wonder and amazement, from any cause, will correspond with the sense of the Hebrew word. It is a word which expresses with surprising accuracy everything in relation to the Redeemer. For the Messiah was wonderful in all things. It was wonderful love by which God gave him, and by which he came; the manner of his birth was wonderful; his humility, his self-denial, his sorrows were wonderful; his mighty works were wonderful; his dying agonies were wonderful; and his resurrection, his ascension, were all suited to excite admiration and wonder.
Counsellor - This word has been sometimes joined with ‘wonderful,’ as if designed to qualify it thus - “wonderful counselor;” but it expresses a distinct attribute, or quality. The name “counselor” here, יועץ yû‛ēts, denotes one of honorable rank; one who is suited to stand near princes and kings as their adviser. It is expressive of great wisdom, and of qualifications to guide and direct the human race. The Septuagint translates this phrase, ‘The angel of the mighty counsel.’ The Chaldee, ‘The God of wonderful counsel.’
The mighty God - Syriac, ‘The mighty God of ages.’ This is one, and but one out of many, of the instances in which the name God is applied to the Messiah; compare John 1:1; Romans 9:5; 1 John 5:20; Joh 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:8. The name ‘mighty God,’ is unquestionably attributed to the true God in Isaiah 10:21. Much controversy has arisen in relation to this expression; and attempts have been made to show that the word translated “God,” אל 'ĕl, may refer to a hero, a king, a conqueror. Thus Gesenius renders, it ‘Mighty hero;’ and supposes that the name ‘God’ is used here in accordance with the custom of the Orientals, who ascribe divine attributes to kings. In like manner Pluschke (see Hengstenberg) says, ‘In my opinion this name is altogether symbolical. The Messiah shall be called strength of God, or strong God, divine hero, in order by this name to remind the people of the strength of God.’ But after all such controversy, it still remains certain that the natural and obvious meaning of the expression is to denote a divine nature. So it was evidently understood by the ancient versions; and the fact that the name God is so often applied to Christ in the New Testament proves that it is to be understood in its natural and obvious signification.
The everlasting Father - The Chaldee renders this expression, ‘The man abiding forever.’ The Vulgate, ‘The Father of the future age.’ Lowth, ‘The Father of the everlasting age.’ Literally, it is the Father of eternity, עד אבי 'ĕby ‛ad. The word rendered “everlasting,” עד ‛ad, properly denotes “eternity,” and is used to express “forever;” see Psalms 9:6, Psalms 9:19; Psalms 19:10. It is often used in connection with עולם ‛ôlâm, thus, עולם ועד vā‛ed ‛ôlâm, “forever and ever;” Psalms 10:16; Psalms 21:5; Psalms 45:7. The Hebrews used the term father in a great variety of senses - as a literal father, a grandfather, an ancestor, a ruler, an instructor. The phrase may either mean the same as the Eternal Father, and the sense will be, that the Messiah will not, as must be the ease with an earthly king, however excellent, leave his people destitute after a short reign, but will rule over them and bless them forever (Hengstenberg); or it may be used in accordance with a custom usual in Hebrew and in Arabic, where he who possesses a thing is called the father of it.
Thus, the father of strength means strong; the father of knowledge, intelligent; the father of glory, glorious; the father of goodness, good; the father of peace, peaceful. According to this, the meaning of the phrase, the Father of eternity, is properly eternal. The application of the word here is derived from this usage. The term Father is not applied to the Messiah here with any reference to the distinction in the divine nature, for that word is uniformly, in the Scriptures, applied to the first, not to the second person of the Trinity. But it is used in reference to durations, as a Hebraism involving high poetic beauty. lie is not merely represented as everlasting, but he is introduced, by a strong figure, as even the Father of eternity. as if even everlasting duration owed itself to his paternity. There could not be a more emphatic declaration of strict and proper eternity. It may be added, that this attribute is often applied to the Messiah in the New Testament; John 8:58; Colossians 1:17; Revelation 1:11, Revelation 1:17-18; Hebrews 1:10-11; John 1:1-2.
The Prince of Peace - This is a Hebrew mode of expression denoting that he would be a peaceful prince. The tendency of his administration would be to restore and perpetuate peace. This expression is used to distinguish him from the mass of kings and princes who have delighted in conquest and blood. In contradistinction from all these, the Messiah would seek to promote universal concord, and the tendency of his reign would be to put an end to wars, and to restore harmony and order to the nations; see the tendency of his reign still further described in Isaiah 11:6-9; the note at Isaiah 2:4; see also Micah 5:4; Hosea 2:18. It is not necessary to insist on the coincidence of this description with the uniform character and instructions of the Lord Jesus. In this respect, he disappointed all the hopes of the Jewish nation, who, in spite of the plain prophecies respecting his peaceful character. expected a magnificent prince, and a conqueror.”
Jesus Christ is not just a teacher from God, He is the Mighty God. The Father and the Son are ONE. Those warmongers could never claim to be Christians, because our Lord is the Prince of Peace.
Jesus commands His disciples:
Mar 9:50, “Salt is good; but if the salt becomes
unsalty, with what will you make it salty again?
Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Luk 1:79, “To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Jesus guides our feet into the way peace. The children of the devil follow the way of war.
Jhn 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Rom 2:10, “but glory, honor, and peace to everyone
who does what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
Rom 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Rom 8:6, “For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.”
Rom 12:18, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.”
Rom 14:17, “for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
Rom 14:19, “So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.” Western leaders and politicians worry me, they do not pursue the things which make for peace and nation building. Although they claim to be Christians, yet they pursue the things which make for war and military conflict and destruction of many nations. They send money, various weapon systems and heavy weapons and deadly ammunitions and war planes to Ukraine to prolong the war.
1Co 14:33, “for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints.”
To this day, the West is the author of confusion, conflict, chaos, calamity and cruelty in this world.
B). 1Pe 2:25,
“For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.”
5). The Shepherd and Guardian of your souls
Jesus can be called also the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls, or my soul. So Christians have nothing to worry because our Lord is also the Guardian of our souls.

Guardian
[ 1,,G2012, epitropos ]
lit., one to whose care something is committed" (epi, "upon," trepo, "to turn" or "direct"), is rendered "guardians" in Galatians 4:2, RV, AV, "tutors" (in Matthew 20:8; Luke 8:3, "steward").
"The corresponding verb, epitrepo, is translated "permit, give leave, suffer;" See 1 Corinthians 14:34; 1 Corinthians 16:7; 1 Timothy 2:12, e.g., ... An allied noun, epitrope, is translated "commission" in Acts 26:12 and refers to delegated authority over persons. This usage of cognate words suggests that the epitropos was a superior servant responsible for the persons composing the household, whether children or slaves." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 180.]”
C). Act 3:15,
“but put to death the Prince of Life, whom God
raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.”
6). The Prince of life
The glorious truth is that the grave cannot hold the Prince of Life. The early disciples who were also the first-hand eyewitness of the fact. The present believers are also witnesses of the fact because we have a new life in Jesus Christ.
Prince - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Prince
[ 1,,G747, archegos ]

the present participle of the verb archo, "to rule;" denotes "a ruler, a prince." It is used as follows ("p" denoting "prince," or "princes;" "r," "ruler" or "rulers"):
(a) of Christ, as "the Ruler (AV, Prince) of the kings of the earth," Revelation 1:5;
(b) of rulers of nations, Matthew 20:25, RV, "r," AV, "p;" Acts 4:26, "r;" Acts 7:27, "r;" Acts 7:35, "r" (twice);

Note: For megistan, Revelation 6:15; Revelation 18:23, RV, "princes," See LORD, No. 3.”
D). Jhn 18:33-37,
‘Therefore Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you about Me?”
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?”
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My Kingdom is not of this realm.”
Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I AM a King. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”
7. The King of the Jews
It is true Jesus is the King of the Jews. For this reason Palestinians have to be careful. It is the eternal covenant of God to give the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants. Therefore Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas have no claim of the Jewish land. Palestinians can establish a state in the Arab lands, but not in Israel. It is wise for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to leave the Jewish land as soon as possible, lest they anger the King of the Jews.
E). Luk 1:35,
“The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the Holy Child will be called the Son of God.”
8. The Son of God
Of all the names and titles of Jesus Christ, above all, this is the most important. Jesus Christ, as proclaimed by the angel, is the Son of God. This has to do with the Divinity of Jesus Christ. Even famous but pitiful men like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Tolstoy, etc. as unbelievers would not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
According to https://studybible.info/vines/Son
“* The Son of God
In this title the word "Son" is used sometimes
(a) of relationship, sometimes
(b) of the expression of character. "Thus, e.g., when the disciples so addressed Him, Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; John 1:49, when the centurion so spoke of Him, Matthew 27:54, they probably meant that
(b) He was a manifestation of God in human form. But in such passages as Luke 1:32, Luke 1:35; Acts 13:33, which refer to the humanity of the Lord Jesus, the word is used in sense
(a).
"The Lord Jesus Himself used the full title on occasion, John 5:25; John 9:35 [some mss. have 'the Son of Man'; See RV marg.]; John 11:4, and on the more frequent occasions on which He spoke of Himself as 'the Son,' the words are to be understood as an abbreviation of 'the Son of God,' not of 'the Son of Man'; this latter He always expressed in full; See Luke 10:22; John 5:19, etc.
"John uses both the longer and shorter forms of the title in his Gospel, See John 3:16-John 3:18; John 20:31, e.g., and in his Epistles; cp. Revelation 2:18. So does the writer of Hebrews, Hebrews 1:2; Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 6:6, etc. An eternal relation subsisting between the Son and the Father in the Godhead is to be understood. That is to say, the Son of God, in His eternal relationship with the Father, is not so entitled because He at any time began to derive His being from the Father (in which case He could not be co-eternal with the Father), but because He is and ever has been the expression of what the Father is; cp. John 14:9, 'he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.' The words of Hebrews 1:3, 'Who being the effulgence of His (God's) glory, and the very image of His (God's) substance' are a definition of what is meant by 'Son of God.' Thus absolute Godhead, not Godhead in a secondary or derived sense, is intended in the title." * [* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 99, 100.]
Other titles of Christ as the "Son of God" are: "His Son," 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (in Acts 13:13, Acts 13:26, RV, pais is rendered "servant"); "His own Son," Romans 8:32; "My beloved Son," Matthew 3:17; "His Only Begotten Son," John 3:16; "the Son of His love," Colossians 1:13.
"The Son is the eternal object of the Father's love, John 17:24, and the sole Revealer of the Father's character, John 1:14; Hebrews 1:3. The words, 'Father' and 'Son,' are never in the NT so used as to suggest that the Father existed before the Son; the Prologue to the Gospel according to John distinctly asserts that the Word existed 'in the beginning,' and that this Word is the Son, Who 'became flesh and dwelt among us.'" * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine pp. 46,47.]
In addressing the Father in His prayer in John 17 He says, "Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the World." Accordingly in the timeless past the Father and the "Son" existed in that relationship, a relationship of love, as well as of absolute Deity. In this passage the "Son" gives evidence that there was no more powerful plea in the Father's estimation than that coeternal love existing between the Father and Himself.
The declaration "Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee," Psalms 2:7, quoted in Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; Hebrews 5:5, refers to the birth of Christ, not to His resurrection. In Acts 13:33 the verb "raise up" is used of the raising up of a person to occupy a special position in the nation, as of David in Acts 13:22 (so of Christ as a Prophet in Acts 3:22; Acts 7:37). The word "again" in the AV in Acts 13:33 represents nothing in the original. The RV rightly omits it. In Acts 13:34 the statement as to the resurrection of Christ receives the greater stress in this respect through the emphatic contrast to that in Acts 13:33 as to His being raised up in the nation, a stress imparted by the added words "from the dead." Accordingly Acts 13:33 speaks of His incarnation, Acts 13:34 of His resurrection.
In Hebrews 1:5, that the declaration refers to the Birth is confirmed by the contrast in verse 6. Here the word "again" is rightly placed in the RV, "when He again bringeth in the Firstborn into the world." This points on to His Second Advent, which is set in contrast to His first Advent, when God brought His Firstborn into the world the first time (See FIRSTBORN). * [* The Western text of Luke 3:22 reads "Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee," instead of "Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee I am well pleased." There is probably some connection between this and those early heresies which taught that our Lord's Deity began at His baptism.
So again in Hebrews 5:5, where the High Priesthood of Christ is shown to fulfill all that was foreshadowed in the Levitical priesthood, the passage stresses the facts of His humanity, the days of His flesh, His perfect obedience and His sufferings.”
According to https://www.studylight.org///dictionaries/eng/bed/-/jesus-christ-name-and-titles-of.html
“The title "Son of God" is used twenty-six times in the Gospels referring to Jesus. He is called Son of God by Satan (Matthew 4:3,6; Luke 4:3,9 ), by demons (Matthew 8:29; Mark 3:11; Luke 4:41 ), by John the Baptist (John 1:34 ), by his followers (Matthew 14:23; John 1:49; 11:27; 20:31 ), by angels (Luke 1:35 ), and by a Roman centurion (Matthew 27:54; Mark 15:39 ).”
According to https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/hdn/m/messiah.html
“(d) ‘Son of God’ is a designation frequently applied to Jesus in the Gospels, and is applied by Jesus to Himself as the expression of His vivid consciousness of God’s presence in His life, and the intimate bond that united Him to the Father (Matthew 11:27). In His native Aramaic, Abbâ was the mode of address in prayer that came most naturally to His lips, and became a tradition in the worship of the early Christian Church (Romans 8:15). That the relation claimed by Jesus was a special one, is indicated by His use of the expression ‘my Father in Matthew 11:27; Matthew 18:35; Matthew 20:23, whereas in Matthew 6:32; Matthew 10:29 God is spoken of to the audience before Jesus as ‘your Father.’ More significant still is the designation of Himself as ‘beloved Son’ in the parable of the Vineyard let out to Husbandmen (Mark 12:6), and also by the voice which spoke to Him from heaven at His baptism (Matthew 3:16-17, Mark 1:10-11, Luke 3:21-22). Upon this unquestionable basis of language employed by Jesus respecting Himself, the frequent application of this designation ‘Son of God’ to Christ in the Pauline Epistles, and of the same phrase with the epithet μονογενής in the Johannine writings, was obviously founded. In the memorable scene at Caesarea Philippi, when Jesus questioned His disciples as to their belief respecting Himself, Peter, according to the Matthew tradition, replied, ‘Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God’ (Matthew 16:16). This would seem to imply that the expression ‘Son of God’ was a Messianic title. But in this connexion two things should be noted: (1) Mark 8:29 gives Peter’s reply in the briefer form ‘Thou art the Messiah.’ (2) There is scarcely any evidence in later Jewish literature to indicate that the phrase ‘Son of God’ was used as a Messianic title.* [Note: The passages where the term ‘Son’ occurs in 2 Esdras (7:28, 13:32, 37, 52, 14:9) as well as in Enoch (105:2) are all extremely doubtful. The Aramaic original is lost; and it is held by many scholars, including Drummond, Spitta (Zur Gesch. und Lit. des Urchristentums, ii. 9), as well as Charles, that Christian hands have worked over these texts and have inserted the expression ‘Son.’ See Volz, Jüd. Eschatologie, p. 213, who regards Drummond’s conjecture as probable, that the phrase ‘Son’ of God may sometimes have arisen from the Gr. rendering ταῖς for ‘servant’ (עֶבֶד). See also N. Schmidt’s art. ‘Son of God’ in EBi, col. 4694.] This is the more remarkable when we remember Psalms 2:7 ‘Jahweh hath said unto me, Thou art my son, this day I have begotten thee,’ and the old Semitic conceptions of divinity which attached to kingship, reflected in Assyrian inscriptions (see above, p. 171). Probably the stern monotheism of later post-exilic Judaism tended to suppress language which seemed to attribute Divinity to an earthly human personality.”
Martin Luther said:
“Therefore, seek and learn to know Christ aright, for the whole Scriptures confer upon us the righteousness of the true knowledge of Christ.”
“But what is the Gospel? It is this, that God has sent his Son into the world to save sinners, in John 3:16, and to crush hell, overcome death, take away sin, and satisfy the law. But what must you do? Nothing but accept this and look up to your Redeemer and firmly believe that he has done all this for your good and freely gives you all as your own, so that in the terrors of death, sin, and hell you can confidently say and boldly depend upon it.”
These two things, sin and death, therefore, remain with us to the end, that we might cultivate and exercise our faith, in order that it may become more perfect in our heart from day to day and finally break forth, and all that we are, body and soul, become more Christlike.”
ATHANASIUS OF ALEXANDRIA said:
“The Jesus whom I know as my Redeemer cannot be less than God.The Son of God became man so that men might become sons of God. [We believe] in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the essence of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things came into being, things in heaven and things on earth, Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down and became incarnate, becoming man, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended to the heavens, and will come again to judge the living and the dead…” – from the 325 version of The Nicene Creed AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO said: Man’s maker was made man, that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother’s breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that the Truth might be accused of false witness, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.” – (Sermons 191.1)
Christ is not valued at all, unless he is valued above all.
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.
Helen Keller said:
The way forward is simple - just follow Christ!
Above all, the Scriptures speak about the Son of God:
Mar 1:1, “The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God.”
Mar 15:39, “And when the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw that He died in
this way, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
ABOVE ALL, JESUS SPEAKS ABOUT HIMSELF:
Mat 26:63-64, “But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I place You under oath by the living God, to tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of Heaven.”
Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
F) . Dan 9:25,
“So you are to know and understand that from
the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem, until Messiah the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with streets and moat, even in times of distress.”
9). Messiah the Prince
It is so sad that the Jews did not know that their Messiah the Prince had come 2,000 years ago.
According to https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/bed/m/messiah.html
“The New Testament writers, evangelists, and apostles give no reason to doubt that Jesus is the Messiah, or in New Testament language, the Christ. He came, born of Abrahamic and Davidic lineage (Matthew 1:2-16; Luke 2:4-15 ). John the Baptist identified Jesus as the Messiah by referring to the wider dimension: "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29 ). Jesus was the One who would bring judgment as well as life by the Spirit of God (Matthew 3:1-12 ). The evangelists record that Jesus was anointed by the Spirit when he was baptized. Jesus proclaimed himself as the Messiah in Nazareth (Luke 4:16-22 ) and at Jacob's well to the Samaritan woman (John 4:24-25 ).”
According to https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/hdb/m/messiah.html
“MESSIAH. The ‘one anointed’ (Gr. Christos ), i.e . appointed and empowered by God through the impartation of His own spirit, to become the Saviour of His people. The conception of the Messiah is logically implicit in all the expectations of the Hebrew people that Jehovah would deliver Israel and turn it into a glorious empire to which all the heathen would be subjected. But it is not always explicit. The expectation of the coming Kingdom is more in evidence than the expectation of the coming King. But in the same proportion as the conception of the personal Messiah emerges from the general Messianic hope these elements appear within it: (1) the Deliverer; (2) the presence of God’s Spirit in His own personality as the source of His power; (3) His work as the salvation of God’s people, at first the Jewish nation, but ultimately all those who join themselves to Him.”
G). Tit 2:13,
“looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.”
10). Our Great God and Savior
According to https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/hdn/g/god.html
“The existence of God is universally assumed in the NT. The arguments that can be adduced, e.g. from the consent of mankind and from the existence of the world, are only intended to show that the belief that God is is reasonable, not to prove it as a mathematical proposition. But undoubtedly the fact that the doctrine is by such arguments shown to be probable will lead man to receive with more readiness the revealed doctrine of God’s existence. The biblical writers, however, did not, in either dispensation, concern themselves to prove a fact which no one doubted. Psalms 10:4; Psalms 14:1; Psalms 53:1 are no exceptions to this general consent. The ungodly man (the ‘fool’) who said in his heart ‘There is no God,’ did not deny God’s existence, but His interfering in the affairs of men. ‘The wicked … saith, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.’”
According to
https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/hdn/s/saviour-2.html
“SAVIOUR.—‘Saviour,’ like ‘to save’ and ‘salvation,’ is a word of frequent occurrence in the OT. It occurs mostly in the form of the ptcpl. Hiph. of ישׁע = מוֹשִׁיעַ. For the specific meaning of ‘to save’ in distinction from other cognate Heb. verbs, cf. art. Salvation. Most commonly God is called the Saviour of Israel or individuals. A standing combination is ‘God the Saviour’ often with a possessive genitive (1 Chronicles 16:35, Psalms 24:5; Psalms 27:1; Psalms 27:9; Psalms 62:2; Psalms 62:6; Psalms 65:5; Psalms 79:9; Psalms 95:1, Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 17:10, Micah 7:7, Habakkuk 3:18). To be a Saviour is God’s exclusive prerogative (Psalms 60:11; Psalms 108:12, Isaiah 43:11; Isaiah 45:22). As instruments of God, however, human deliverers likewise receive the title (Judges 3:9; Judges 3:15, Nehemiah 9:27). There is no passage in the OT where the Messiah is called ‘Saviour.’ Wherever the Messiah is connected with the idea of salvation, He is not the subject but the object of it (Psalms 28:8; Psalms 144:10, Zechariah 9:9). This is different in Apocryphal and Pseud-epigraphical literature, for here it is not merely declared that in the name of the Son of Man the people are saved, and that He is the Goel of their life (En 48:7), or that the righteous in connexion with Him shall be satisfied with salvation (4 Ezr 8:39), but also that Christus liberabit creaturam (4 Ezr 12:34, 13:26), and that from Judah and Levi the Lord will raise a Saviour for Israel (Test. Gad 8). God, however, here also is more frequently called Saviour (παντων σωτήρ, Ps-Sol 16:7; αἰωνιος σωτήρ, Baruch 4:22; ἄγιος σωτήρ, 3 Maccabees 6:29; 3 Maccabees 7:16). Used of God, σωτήρ is synonymous with such terms as גּוֹאֵל, ὁ ῥύστης, ὁ λυτρούμενος (En 48:7, 1 Maccabees 4:11, 3 Maccabees 7:23).”
H). Heb 12:2,
“looking only at Jesus, the Originator and Perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
11). The Originator and Perfecter of the faith
Martin Luther said, “I have often said before that feeling and faith are two different things. It is the nature of faith not to feel, to lay aside reason and close the eyes, to submit absolutely to the Word, and follow it in life and death.”
Many are confused about what "faith" is. Even many church members cannot differentiate what is "faith" and what is "the Faith". This article is written so that you not only know what "faith" is, you have faith in God, and believe the Christian Faith with all your heart and mind.
Faith is the first important thing of the three great things which remain, namely: Faith, Love, Hope. People speak loosely about “faith” and “the faith” because many do not understand and confuse between “faith” and “the faith”. Even among church members, they do not have a clear conception of faith and the faith. Keep in mind we speak of the faith, not the faiths. In this article we are not interested in other faiths. There are other faiths than the Christian faith, other religions than the Christian religion. However, we focus here on “faith” and the “Christian faith” only. They have different meanings although they are very closely related. The first term “faith” refers to one’s belief and attitude toward God and the Savior. The second term “the Faith” refers to the whole body of the Christian belief, the dogmas and doctrines as taught by Jesus Christ and through His apostles. Henceforth, “faith” in small letter means your or my “personal faith” in God or Christ WHOM we trust. The “Faith” in capital letter means the “common faith” of all believers of all generations believe WHAT to be in the body of the Christian belief as it is written in the Holy Bible and handed down from Jesus Christ and the holy Apostles.
"And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God."
Note: Faith in Greek is pistis which means assurance; belief; fidelity; conviction of the truth; conviction of God and divine things; trust; belief that Jesus is the Messiah; the Christian beliefs; faithfulness; persuasion; moral conviction of the truthfulness of God; reliance upon Christ for salvation; the system of the Gospel truth itself; belief and truth in God; - which occurs 243 times in the New Testament.
Faith is synonymous with belief, the act of believing. Faith is not a proposition. Faith is not a theological system. Faith is personal and individual act from the heart. To have faith in someone is to believe in someone. Faith is to have faith means to believe, to believe means to put your trust in someone. Faith is in “Whom” you believe. Have faith in God means to put your trust in God. Faith is ‘What’ you believe. The Faith is common and collective. The “Faith” is the Christian Faith what all Christians of all ages believe as it is written in the Holy Bible, and nothing else. To prevent confusion, in this article your “personal faith” in Christ or God, “faith” is used in small letter. The whole body of what all Christians believe collectively, the body of truth believed is called the Faith, the “common faith” of what we all believe is the “Faith” in capital letter.
Faith in Christ is not superstition, although all other religious faiths are superstition. Christianity is not superstition. Faith is not religion, religion does not save anyone. Faith in Christ is a saving grace. If a rustic believes in Jesus Christ, he will be saved. If an intellectual believes in a false god, he will perish. So it is not faith that saves you, it is the faith in the Savior who saves you from eternal death. Jesus rose from the death by the power of God is not superstition. When you believe in something which is historically true, it is not superstition. If you believe in something which is not true, your faith is worthless. Faith in all religions is worthless and useless.
Act 25:19, “But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.”
Note: Superstition in Greek is deisidaimonia which means fear of the gods; false belief about gods; an irrational abject attitude of mind; irrational belief or practice; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. There are many superstitions in Chinese culture, one example is the welcome of the god of wealth during Chinese New Year; and the use of firecrackers to chase away evil spirits. Another is the upside down character of ‘blessing’ to bring blessing.
Faith is not tradition. Roman Catholic Church is full of un-scriptural traditions. Mat 15:3, “And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?” Pharisees and scribes of Judaism often violated the commandment of God for the sake of their tradition.
There is nothing parallel to Christianity. Christianity is the true religion that does not depend or require so-and-so to make declaration. Christianity does not need any country, government, institution, or individual to validate or recognize it. There is no such a thing called ‘Christian Protestantism’. Protestantism is simply an attempt to return to the original Christianity established by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. If there is such a thing called un-Christian Protestantism, it has nothing to do with the the great Reformation started by Martin Luther to expose the apostate Roman Catholic Church. There is no such a thing called ‘Reformed Christianity’, there is only one Biblical Christianity. There is no Christendom. There is no Christian nation on earth. There is no Christian nationalism.
When we talk about faith and the Faith in Christ, it has nothing to do with the universality of religion among all races at all times. It is the fancy and baloney talk of unbelieving theologians that God is continuously wrestling with man. It is blasphemous to suggest that God is wrestling with Himself. Among Christians the Bible is the only and sole authority. There is no church or human or papal infallibility. Christians reject any ideology, scientific or philosophic, pretending to be authority. It is not narrow or arbitrary, the Word of God is the only and final and supreme and ultimate authority.
Act 11:1, “Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the Word of God.”
Note: Faith is not a venture of the soul, it is full acceptance of the Word of God. There is no such a thing called unconscious faith, faith is constantly conscious of humbly taking God at His Word and obey Him.
The character of faith is not propaedeutic, it is receiving the Word like the simplicity of a child. Jhn 1:40-41, “One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated means Christ).” Andrew heard John the Baptist speak about Jesus and followed Jesus. Andrew found first his own brother Peter and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.”
Faith is not speculative. When two blind men sitting by the road that Jesus was passing by; they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” And Jesus stopped and said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Mat 20:33, “They said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.” There is nothing speculative about what the two blind men want, they want their eyes to be opened.
Rom 14:22, “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.”
Note: The faith which you have (personal faith) is your own conviction before God. If what you approve does not condemn you, happy are you.
Rom 4:16, “For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.”
Note: Faith is in accordance with grace, it has nothing to do with your efforts, works or merit. The promise of faith is guaranteed to all the descendants of Abraham and to all who believe.
Act 3:16, “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”
Note: Perter healed a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb on the basis of the lame’s faith in the name of Jesus Christ. This is an exact example of what faith is. The lame from his mother’s womb had faith in Jesus Christ and he was given the perfect health. The lame was healed on the basis of his faith in Jesus. Faith in Greek is pistis which means firm belief; fidelity; a conviction of the truth; trust in God or Christ; belief that Jesus is the Messiah; reliance upon Christ for salvation; - which occurs 234 times in the New Testament.
For example, 2Co 13:5, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” Here it hits the nail in the head. Christians must not only believe in the dogmas and doctrines of Jesus Christ, you must test and examine yourself from time to time to see whether you have faith in Christ, whether Christ is in you. You can have all the theological knowledge of the Christian Faith, but Christ is not in your heart. That is the problem of unbelieving theologians who do not have Christ and the Holy Spirit.
1Ti 4:1, “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the Faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.”
Note: The Spirit explicitly says that in later times (which is now) some will fall away from the Faith. You see not a few theologians and false preachers have fallen away from the Faith, although they may call themselves modernists or evangelicals. Anyone who pays attention to deceitful spirits and doctrine of demons has fallen away from the Faith. An anti-christ is he who denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. He who rejects the infallibility and inspiration of the Holy Bible and the divinity of Jesus Christ has fallen away from the Faith.
1Ti 5:8, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
Note: If anyone claims to be a Christian but does not provide for his own household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever. A person who has denied the Faith is worse than an unbeliever. This is a definitive statement, there is no doubt or confusion about it. So all men who desert their wives are worse than unbelievers. All fathers who abandon their children are worse than unbelievers. It is possible for a so-called believer to deny the Faith by his mouth. It is also possible for a so-called believer to deny the Faith by her disobedience to the Faith. Some Taiwanese politicians who claim to be Christians, and yet they publicly burn incense and worship idols. These Taiwanese so-called believers have denied the Faith. They are false brothers, not genuine Christians; and they are worse than unbelievers. Many American and European leaders and politicians claim and pretend to be Christians, and yet deny the Faith by lying, killing, and robbing many nations and peoples in the world. Imperialism is not compatible with Christianity. Capitalism is not compatible with Christianity. White supremacy is not compatible with Christianity. The West has practiced a false version of Christianity for a long, long time. Corrupt, fraudulent and greedy doctors, dentists and hospital owners who claim to be Christians, their predatory practices are not compatible with Christianity.
I). Mat 1:23,
“BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN WILL CONCEIVE AND GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, AND THEY SHALL NAME HIM IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”
12). Immanuel
According to https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/bed/i/immanuel.html
“When the angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, he learned that his fiance Mary was "with child through the Holy Spirit" and would give birth to a son named "Immanuel" (Matthew 1:18,23 ). "Immanuel" is a Hebrew word meaning "God with us" and expresses the wonder of the incarnation, that God "became flesh and made his dwelling among us" (John 1:14 ). In the Old Testament God's presence with his people Israel was particularly evident in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8 ), but the glory that filled the tabernacle was surpassed by the personal presence of God the Son as he revealed the Father during his ministry on earth. Christ's glory was revealed through the miracles he performed (John 2:11 ).”
J). Heb 5:9-10,
“And having been perfected, He became the Source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.”
13). High Priest
“Priest - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Priest
[ 1,,G2409, hiereus ]
one who offers sacrifice and has the charge of things pertaining thereto," is used
(a) of a "priest" of the pagan god Zeus, Acts 14:13;
(b) of Jewish "priests," e.g., Matthew 8:4; Matthew 12:4-Matthew 12:5; Luke 1:5, where allusion is made to the 24 courses of "priests" appointed for service in the Temple (cp. 1 Chronicles 24:4 ff.); John 1:19; Hebrews 8:4;
(c) of believers, Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:6. Israel was primarily designed as a nation to be a kingdom of "priests," offering service to God, e.g., Exodus 19:6; the Israelites having renounced their obligations, Exodus 20:19, the Aaronic priesthood was selected for the purpose, till Christ came to fulfil His ministry in offering up Himself; since then the Jewish priesthood has been abrogated, to be resumed nationally, on behalf of Gentiles, in the millenial kingdom, Isaiah 61:6; Isaiah 66:21. Meanwhile all believers, from Jews and Gentiles, are constituted "a kingdom of priests," Revelation 1:6 (See above), "a holy priesthood," 1 Peter 2:5, and "royal," 1 Peter 2:9. The NT knows nothing of a sacerdotal class in contrast to the laity; all believers are commanded to offer the sacrifices mentioned in Romans 12:1; Philippians 2:17; Philippians 4:18; Hebrews 13:15-Hebrews 13:16; 1 Peter 2:5;
(d) of Christ, Hebrews 5:6; Hebrews 7:11, Hebrews 7:15, Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 7:21; Hebrews 8:4 (negatively);
(e) of Melchizedek, as the forshadower of Christ, Hebrews 7:1, Hebrews 7:3.
[ 2,,G749, archiereus ]
designates
(a) "the high priests" of the Levitical order, frequently called "chief priests" in the NT, and including "ex-high priests" and members of "high priestly" families, e.g., Matthew 2:4; Matthew 16:21; Matthew 20:18; Matthew 21:15; in the singular, a "high priest," e.g., Abiathar, Mark 2:26; Annas and Caiaphas, Luke 3:2, where the RV rightly has "in the high priesthood of A. and C." (cp. Acts 4:6). As to the combination of the two in this respect, Annas was the "high priest" from A.D. 7-14, and, by the time referred to, had been deposed for some years; his son-in-law, Caiaphas, the fourth "high priest" since his deposition, was appointed about A.D. 24. That Annas was still called the "high priest" is explained by the facts
(1) that by the Mosaic law the high priesthood was held for life, Numbers 35:25; his deposition was the capricious act of the Roman procurator, but he would still be regarded legally and religiously as "high priest" by the Jews;
(2) that he probably still held the office of deputy-president of the Sanhedrin (cp. 2 Kings 25:18);
(3) that he was a man whose age, wealth and family connections gave him a preponderant influence, by which he held the real sacerdotal power; indeed at this time the high priesthood was in the hands of a clique of some half dozen families; the language of the writers of the Gospels is in accordance with this, in attributing the high priesthood rather to a caste than a person;
(4) the "high priests" were at that period mere puppets of Roman authorities who deposed them at will, with the result that the title was used more loosely than in former days.
The Divine institution of the priesthood culminated in the "high priest," it being his duty to represent the whole people, e.g., Leviticus 4:15-Leviticus 4:16; ch. 16. The characteristics of the Aaronic "high priests" are enumerated in Hebrews 5:1-Hebrews 5:4; Hebrews 8:3; Hebrews 9:7, Hebrews 9:25; in some mss., Hebrews 10:11 (RV, marg.); Hebrews 13:11.
(b) Christ is set forth in this respect in the Ep. to the Hebrews, where He is spoken of as "a high priest," Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 5:5, Hebrews 5:10; Hebrews 6:20; Hebrews 7:26; Hebrews 8:1, Hebrews 8:3 (RV); Hebrews 9:11; "a great high priest," Hebrews 4:14; "a great priest," Hebrews 10:21; "a merciful and faithful high priest," Hebrews 2:17; "the Apostle and high priest of our confession," Hebrews 3:1, RV; "a high priest after the order of Melchizedek," Hebrews 5:10. One of the great objects of this Epistle is to set forth the superiority of Christ's High Priesthood as being of an order different from and higher than the Aaronic, in that He is the Son of God (See especially Hebrews 7:28), with a priesthood of the Melchizedek order. Seven outstanding features of His priesthood are stressed,
(1) its character, Hebrews 5:6, Hebrews 5:10;
(2) His commission, Hebrews 5:4-Hebrews 5:5;
(3) His preparation, Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 10:5;
(4) His sacrifice, Hebrews 8:3; Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:14, Hebrews 9:27-Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:4-Hebrews 10:12;
(5) His santuary, Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 8:2; Hebrews 9:11-Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:24; Hebrews 10:12, Hebrews 10:19;
(6) His ministry, Hebrews 2:18; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 9:24;
(7) its effects, Hebrews 2:15; Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 6:19-Hebrews 6:20; Hebrews 7:16, Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:14, Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:14-Hebrews 10:17, Hebrews 10:22, Hebrews 10:39; Hebrews 12:1; Hebrews 13:13-Hebrews 13:17.
Note: In Acts 4:6 the adjective hieratikos, "high priestly," is translated "of the high priest."
Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible Verse 9 And being made perfect - That is, being made a “complete” Saviour - a Saviour suited in all respects to redeem people. Sufferings were necessary to the “completeness” or the “finish” of his character as a Saviour, not to his moral perfection, for he was always without sin; see this explained in the notes on Hebrews 2:10.
He became the author - That is, he was the procuring cause (αἴτιος aitios) of salvation. It is to be traced wholly to his sufferings and death; see the note, Hebrews 2:10. “Unto all them that obey him.” It is not to save those who live in sin. Only those who “obey” him have any evidence that they will be saved; see the note, John 14:15.
Verse 10
Called of God - Addressed by him, or greeted by him. The word used here does not mean that he was “appointed” by God, or “called” to the office, in the sense in which we often use the word, but simply that he was “addressed” as such, to wit, in Psalms 110:1-7;
An high priest - In the Septuagint Psalms 110:4, and in Hebrews 5:6, above, it is rendered “priest” - ἱερεύς hiereus - but the Hebrew word - כהן kohēn - is often used to denote the high priest, and may mean either; see Septuagint in Leviticus 4:3. Whether the word “priest,” or “high priest,” be used here, does not affect the argument of the apostle. “After the order of Melchizedek.” see the notes at Hebrews 5:6."
K). Eph 5:23,
“For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the Head of the Church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.”
14). The Head of the Church
There are so called feminist groups in America who do not accept the teaching the husband is the head of wife. Christian women who are daughters of Sarah you are blessed as godly.
1Ti 2:9-10, “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls
or expensive apparel, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.”
1Pe 3:6, “just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.”
On the other hand, there are men like animals who beat up their wives. The Bible teaches, Eph 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also
loved the Church and gave Himself up for her.”
Col 1:18, “He is also the Head of the body, the
Church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.”
The body of Christ is the Church. The Roman Catholic Church is not following the Bible. The pope is a man and not the head of the church. Jesus Christ has the first place in everything, in Heaven or on earth.
According to https://studybible.info/vines/Assembly
“Assembly - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Assembly
[ 1,,G1577, ekklesia ]
from ek, out of," and klesis, "a calling" (kaleo, "to call"), was used among the Greeks of a body of citizens "gathered" to discuss the affairs of state, Acts 19:39. In the Sept. it is used to designate the "gathering" of Israel, summoned for any definite purpose, or a "gathering" regarded as representative of the whole nation. In Acts 7:38 it is used of Israel; in Acts 19:32, Acts 19:41, of a riotous mob. It has two applications to companies of Christians,
(a) to the whole company of the redeemed throughout the present era, the company of which Christ said, "I will build My Church," Matthew 16:18, and which is further described as "the Church which is His Body," Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 5:23,
(b) in the singular number (e.g., Matthew 18:17, RV marg., "congregation"), to a company consisting of professed believers, e.g., Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 1:2; Galatians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:5, and in the plural, with reference to churches in a district.
There is an apparent exception in the RV of Acts 9:31, where, while the AV has "churches," the singular seems to point to a district; but the reference is clearly to the church as it was in Jerusalem, from which it had just been scattered, Acts 8:1. Again, in Romans 16:23, that Gaius was the host of "the whole church," simply suggests that the "assembly" in Corinth had been accustomed to meet in his house, where also Paul was entertained. See CHURCH.
[ 2,,G3831, paneguris ]
from pan, "all," and agora, "any kind of assembly," denoted, among the Greeks, an assembly of the people in contrast to the council of national leaders, or a "gathering" of the people in honor of a god, or for some public festival, such as the Olympic games. The word is used in Hebrews 12:23, coupled with the word "church," as applied to all believers who form the body of Christ.
[ 3,,G4128, plethos ]
"a multitude, the whole number," is translated "assembly" in Acts 23:7, RV. See BUNDLE, COMPANY, MULTITUDE.

The Church as the body of Christ is not a human invention. I am telling you the truth. There are man-organized churches which are not Christian churches they claim to be. Any church which violates the sound doctrines and greedy for money is not a church of Jesus Christ.
Billy Sunday said, “Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.”
Alden Wilson Tozer said, “One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.”
There are many dead churches in America functioning as finance centers.
Oswald Chambers said, “The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.”
Once I happened to attend a Taiwanese church in China, it was so secret that they did not dare or want to divulge the name of their leader, in addition their female members or proselytes practiced a peculiar religious rite or custom.
In America some white members of some churches exude an air of pride.
Jesus says, Mat 16:16-18, “Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”
By intellect no flesh and blood (humans) can discover the identity of Jesus. It is through the revelation of God we come to know the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Peter means a stone not rock. This is the most favorite Scripture of the Roman Catholicism whereby it creates a series of false doctrines. Firstly, Peter was never the first pope. Second, Jesus never builds His Church upon Peter who denied the Lord three times. Jesus builds the Church upon Himself the Rock. The Bible says,
1Co 10:4, “and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a Spiritual Rock which followed them; and the Rock was Christ.”
Because Christ builds His Church upon the Spiritual Rock who was Himself, the gates of Hell will not overpower it. I am aware a false religion is beheading Christians, but the gates of Hell will not overpower the Church.
“Rock - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Rock
[ 1,,G4073, petra ]
denotes a mass of rock," as distinct from petros, "a detached stone or boulder," or a stone that might be thrown or easily moved. For the nature of petra, See Matthew 7:24-Matthew 7:25; Matthew 27:51, Matthew 27:60; Mark 15:46; Luke 6:48 (twice), a type of a sure foundation (here the true reading is as in the RV, "because it had been well builded"); Revelation 6:15-Revelation 6:16 (cp. Isaiah 2:19,ff.; Hosea 10:8); Luke 8:6, Luke 8:13, used illustratively; 1 Corinthians 10:4 (twice), figuratively, of Christ; in Romans 9:33; 1 Peter 2:8, metaphorically, of Christ; in Matthew 16:18, metaphorically, of Christ and the testimony concerning Him; here the distinction between petra, concerning the Lord Himself, and Petros, the Apostle, is clear (See above).
[ 2,,G4694, spilas ]
"a rock or reef," over which the sea dashes, is used in Jude 1:12, "hidden rocks," RV, metaphorical of men whose conduct is a danger to others. A late meaning ascribed to it is that of "spots," (AV), but that rendering seems to have been influenced by the parallel passage in 2 Peter 2:13, where spiloi, "spots," occurs.”
1Co 12:28, “And God has appointed in the Church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and various kinds of tongues.”
Besides Christ the Head of the Church, the hierarchy or ranking of the Church is clear; there is no place for pope in the Church.
“Hades - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Hades
[ 1,,G86, hades ]
the region of departed spirits of the lost" (but including the blessed dead in periods preceding the ascension of Christ). It has been thought by some that the word etymologically meant "the unseen" (from a, negative, and eido, "to see"), but this derivation is questionable; a more probable derivation is from hado, signifying "all-receiving." It corresponds to "Sheol" in the OT. In the AV of the OT and NT; it has been unhappily rendered "hell," e.g., Psalms 16:10; or "the grave," e.g., Genesis 37:35; or "the pit," Numbers 16:30, Numbers 16:33; in the NT the revisers have always used the rendering "hades;" in the OT, they have not been uniform in the translation, e.g. in Isaiah 14:15 "hell" (marg., "Sheol"); usually they have "Sheol" in the text and "the grave" in the margin. It never denotes the grave, nor is the permanent region of the lost; in point of time it is, for such, intermediate between decease and the doom of Gehenna. For the condition, See Luke 16:23-Luke 16:31.
The word is used four times in the Gospels, and always by the Lord, Matthew 11:23; Matthew 16:18; Luke 10:15; Luke 16:23; it is used with reference to the soul of Christ, Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31; Christ declares that He has the keys of it, Revelation 1:18; in Revelation 6:8 it is personified, with the signification of the temporary destiny of the doomed; it is to give up those who are therein, Revelation 20:13, and is to be cast into the lake of fire, Revelation 20:14.”

“I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”
16). The True Wine
According to https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/rwp/john-15.html
Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament
“The true vine (η αμπελος η αληθινη). "The vine the genuine." Assuming that the Lord's Supper had just been instituted by Jesus the metaphor of the vine is naturally suggested by "the fruit of the vine" (Mark 14:25; Matthew 26:29). Αμπελος in the papyri (Moulton and Milligan's Vocabulary) is sometimes used in the sense of ampelon (vineyard), but not so here. Jesus uses various metaphors to illustrate himself and his work (the light, John 8:12; the door, John 10:7; the shepherd, John 10:11; the vine, John 15:1). The vine was common in Palestine. See Psalms 80:8. "On the Maccabean coinage Israel was represented by a vine" (Dods). Jesus is the genuine Messianic vine.”
N). Jhn 6:35,
“Jesus said to them, “I AM the Bread of Life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
17). The Bread of Life
Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament
“I am the bread of life (Εγω ειμ ο αρτος της ζωης). This sublime sentence was startling in the extreme to the crowd. Philo does compare the manna to the θειος λογος in an allegorical sense, but this language is far removed from Philo's vagueness. In the Synoptics (Mark 14:22; Matthew 26:26; Luke 22:19) Jesus uses bread (αρτος) as the symbol of his body in the Lord's Supper, but here Jesus offers himself in place of the loaves and fishes which they had come to seek (John 6:24; John 6:26). He is the bread of life in two senses: it has life in itself, the living bread (John 6:51), and it gives life to others like the water of life, the tree of life. John often has Jesus saying "I am" (εγω ειμ). As also in John 6:41; John 6:48; John 6:51; John 8:12; John 10:7; John 10:9; John 10:11; John 10:14; John 11:25; John 14:6; John 15:1; John 15:5.”
O). Jhn 10:11,
“I AM the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd

“I AM the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me.
18). The Good Shepherd
Jesus is the Good Shepherd who died for the sheep, Jesus died for sinners. Jesus died for you and me.
Jesus knows His followers, and His followers know Jesus. Christians are the sheep of Jesus.
P). Heb 13:20,
“Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep through
the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord.”
19). The Great Shepherd
Jesus is not only the Good Shepherd, He is also the Great Shepherd, because through the blood of the eternal covenant Jesus accomplished eternal salvation for all who come to Him.
Q). 1Pe 5:4,
“And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.”
20). The Chief Shepherd
When the Chief Shepherd appears, that is when the Lord Jesus comes again, those who shepherd the flock of God, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to the will of God, and not with greed but with eagerness; nor yet as domineering over those assigned to their care, but by proving to be examples to the flock will receive the unfading crown of glory.
R). Rev 19:16,
“And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
21). King of kings, and Lord of lords
Jesus Christ will be King of kings and Lord of lords to rule and reign with the saints in the Kingdom of Heave forever and ever. The kingdoms of the world including America, China, Russia will become the Kingdom of Christ, all will be subject to the Sovereign King.
“King - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
King
[ A-1,Noun,G935, basileus ]
a king" (cp. Eng., "Basil"), e.g., Matthew 1:6, is used of the Roman emperor in 1 Peter 2:13, 1 Peter 2:17 (a command of general application); this reference to the emperor is illustrated frequently in the Koine (See Preface to this volume); of Herod the Tetrarch (used by courtesy), Matthew 14:9; of Christ, as the "King" of the Jews, e.g., Matthew 2:2; Matthew 27:11, Matthew 27:29, Matthew 27:37; as the "King" of Israel, Mark 15:32; John 1:49; John 12:13; as "King of kings," Revelation 17:14; Revelation 19:16; as "the King" in judging nations and men at the establishment of the millennial kingdom, Matthew 25:34, Matthew 25:40; of God, "the great King," Matthew 5:35; "the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible," 1 Timothy 1:17; "King of kings," 1 Timothy 6:15, See Note
(2) below; "King of the ages," Revelation 15:3, RV (AV, "saints"). Christ's "kingship" was predicted in the OT, e.g., Psalms 2:6, and in the NT, e.g., Luke 1:32-Luke 1:33; He came as such, e.g., Matthew 2:2; John 18:37; was rejected and died as such, Luke 19:14; Matthew 27:37; is now a "King" Priest, after the order of Melchizedek, Hebrews 5:6; Hebrews 7:1, Hebrews 7:17; and will reign for ever and ever, Revelation 11:15.
Notes:
(1) In Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10, the most authentic mss. have the word basileia, "kingdom," instead of the plural of basileus, AV, "kings," RV, "a kingdom (to be priests)," and "a kingdom (and priests)." The kingdom was conditionally offered by God to Israel, that they should be to Him "a kingdom of priests," Exodus 19:6, the entire nation fulfilling priestly worship and service. Their failure to fulfil His covenant resulted in the selection of the Aaronic priesthood. The bringing in of the new and better covenant of grace has constituted all believers a spiritual kingdom, a holy and royal priesthood, 1 Peter 2:5, 1 Peter 2:9.
(2) In 1 Timothy 6:15, the word "kings" translates the present participle of the verb basileuo, "to be king, to have kingship," lit., "of (those) who are kings." See REIGN,
(3) Deissmann has shown that the title "king of kings" was "in very early eastern history a decoration of great monarchs and also a divine title" (Light from the Ancient East, pp. 367ff.). Moulton and Milligan illustrate the use of the title among the Persians, from documents discovered in Media.
[ B-1,Adjective,G934, basileios ]
denoting "royal," as in 1 Peter 2:9, is used in the plural, of the courts or palaces of kings, Luke 7:25, "kings' courts;" a possible meaning is "among royal courtiers or persons."
[ B-2,Adjective,G937, basilikos ]
"royal, belonging to a king," is used in Acts 12:20 with "country" understood, "their country was fed from the king's," lit., "the royal (country)." See NOBLEMAN, ROYAL.
S). Mal 4:1-2,
“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the LORD of armies, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branches. But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and frolic like calves from the stall.”
22). The Sun of Righteousness
According to https://space-facts.com/the-sun/
Sun Facts
The Sun is the star at the centre of our solar system. It is an almost perfect sphere of super-hot gases whose gravity holds the solar system together. The energy produced by the Sun is essential for life on Earth and is a driving force behind the Earth’s weather. Facts about the Sun
- · The Sun is all the colours mixed together, this appears white to our eyes.
- · The Sun is composed of hydrogen (70%) and Helium (28%).
- · The Sun is a main-sequence G2V star (or Yellow Dwarf).
- · The Sun is 109 times wider than the Earth and 330,000 times as massive.
- · The Sun’s surface area is 11,990 times that of the Earth’s.
- · The distance between the Earth and the Sun is an Astronomical Unit (AU)
- · One million Earths could fit inside the Sun.
A hollow Sun would fit around 960,000 spherical Earths. If squished inside with no wasted space, then around 1,300,000 would fit inside. The Sun’s surface area is 11,990 times that of the Earth’s. - · The Sun contains 99.86% of the mass in the Solar System.
The mass of the Sun is approximately 330,000 times greater than that of Earth. It is almost three quarters Hydrogen, whilst most of the remaining mass is Helium. - · The temperature inside the Sun can reach 15 million degrees Celsius.
Energy is generated at the Sun’s core, by nuclear fusion, as Hydrogen converts to Helium. Hot objects expand, the Sun would explode if it were not for its enormous gravitational force. The temperature on the surface of the Sun is closer to 5,600 degrees Celsius. - · Light from the Sun takes eight minutes to reach Earth.
The Sun is an average distance of 150 million kilometres from the Earth. Light travels at 300,000 kilometres per second. Dividing one by the other gives us an approximate time of 500 seconds (or eight minutes and 20 seconds). Although this energy reaches Earth in a few minutes, it will already have taken millions of years to travel from the Sun’s core to its surface. - · The Sun travels at 220 kilometres per second.
The Sun is 24,000-26,000 light years from the galactic centre. It takes the Sun 225-250 million years to complete an orbit of the centre of the Milky Way. - · The distance from the Sun to Earth changes throughout the year.
This is because the Earth travels on an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the two bodies varies from 147 to 152 million kilometres.”
Mat 17:2, “And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments
became as white as light.”

The following is an illustration of using the Scriptures to interpret the Scriptures. The Bible does not contradict itself.

“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” They said to Him, “The son of David.”
He said to them, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES UNDER YOUR FEET”’?
“Therefore, if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” No one was able to offer Him a word in answer, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him any more questions.”

According to https://symbolsage.com/lion-meaning-symbolism/#:~:text=Symbolism
“Symbolism of Lions
- · Courage and Godliness – It might seem obvious, but lions have always been associated with strength and bravery. In the Bible, people who walk the same path as God are considered as bold as lions. Proverbs 28:1 speaks of how wicked people ridden with guilt tend to run away even though no one is after them, while godly people remain as fearless as lions.
- · Royalty and Kingship – In many cultures, people wore jewelry that bore lion emblems to signify their social status. In fact, in Swahili, the word simba which means lion is synonymous with the word king. Several books and movies have used lions as a symbol of royalty and authority, with The Lion King being one of the most popular ones. This classic Disney film tells the tale of how Simba, the son of the Lion King Mufasa, rose to the challenge of becoming the new king of the Pride Lands.
- · Family and Protection – Lions also represent how families stick together no matter what. Since lions live and hunt in large groups, it perfectly represents how members of the family protect and nurture each other. These majestic animals are also very protective of their pride, so they are perfect symbols of how someone devoted to his loved ones keeps them safe from threats. Some other concepts associated with lions, but which are also connected to the list above are:
- · Authority
- · Majesty
- · Strength
- · Wisdom
- · Pride
- · Affection
- · Dominion
- · Ferocity
- · Dignity
- · Leadership
- · Self-confidence”

26). The Alpha and the Omega
“https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/bnb.html
Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible
“Verse 8
I am Alpha and Omega - These are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet, and denote properly the first and the last. So in Revelation 22:13, where the two expressions are united, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” So in Revelation 1:17, the speaker says of himself, “I am the first and the last.” Among the Jewish rabbis it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. Thus, it is said, “Adam transgressed the whole law, from ‘Aleph (א) to Taw (תּ).” “Abraham kept the whole law, from ‘Aleph (א) to Taw (תּ).” The language here is what would properly denote “eternity” in the being to whom it is applied, and could be used in reference to no one but the true God. It means that he is the beginning and the end of all things; that he was at the commencement, and will be at the close; and it is thus equivalent to saying that he has always existed, and that he will always exist. Compare Isaiah 41:4, “I the Lord, the first, and with the last”; Isaiah 44:6, “I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God”; Isaiah 48:12, “I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.” There can be no doubt that the language here would be naturally understood as implying divinity, and it could be properly applied to no one but the true God. The obvious interpretation here would be to apply this to the Lord Jesus; for:
(a)It is he who is spoken of in the verses preceding, and
(b)There can be no doubt that the same language is applied to him in Revelation 1:11.
As there is, however, a difference of reading in this place in the Greek text, and as it can. not be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here, this cannot be adduced with propriety as a proof-text to demonstrate his divinity. Many mss., instead of “Lord,” κυρίος kurios, read “God,” Θεὸς Theos and this reading is adopted by Griesbach, Tittman, and Hahn, and is now regarded as the correct reading. There is no real incongruity in supposing, also, that the writer here meant to refer to God as such, since the introduction of a reference to him would not be inappropriate to his manifest design. Besides, a portion of the language used here, “which is, and was, and is to come,” is what would more naturally suggest a reference to God as such, than to the Lord Jesus Christ. See Revelation 1:4. The object for which this passage referring to the “first and the last - to him who was, and is, and is to come,” is introduced here evidently is, to show that as he was clothed with omnipotence, and would continue to exist through all ages to come as he had existed in all ages past, there could be no doubt about his ability to execute all which it is said he would execute.
Saith the Lord - Or, saith God, according to what is now regarded as the correct reading.
Which is, and which was, ... - See the notes on Revelation 1:4.
The Almighty - An appellation often applied to God, meaning that he has all power, and used here to denote that he is able to accomplish what is disclosed in this book."
W). Jhn 1:29,
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold,

27). The Lamb of God
According to https://studybible.info/vines

“Lamb - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Lamb
[ 1,,G704, aren ]
a noun the nominative case of which is found only in early times, occurs in Luke 10:3. In normal usage it was replaced by arnion (No. 2), of which it is the equivalent.
[ 2,,G721, arnion ]
is a diminutive in form, but the dimunutive force is not to be pressed (See Note under No. 3). The general tendency in the vernacular was to use nouns in ---ion freely, apart from their dimunitive significance. It is used only by the Apostle John,
(a) in the plural, in the Lord's command to Peter, John 21:15, with symbolic reference to young converts;
(b) elsewhere, in the singular, in the Apocalypse, some 28 times, of Christ as the Lamb" of God, the symbolism having reference to His character and His vicarious Sacrifice, as the basis both of redemption and of Divine vengeance. He is seen in the position of sovereign glory and honor, e.g., John 7:17, which He shares equally with the Father, John 22:1, John 22:3, the center of angelic beings and of the redeemed and the object of their veneration, e.g. John 5:6, John 5:8, John 5:12-John 5:13; John 15:3, the Leader and Shepherd of His saints, e.g., John 7:17, John 14:4, the Head of his spiritual bride, e.g., John 21:9, the luminary of the heavenly and eternal city, John 21:23, the One to whom all judgement is committed, e.g., John 6:1, John 6:16; John 13:8, the Conqueror of the foes of God and His people, John 17:14; the song that celebrates the triumph of those who "gain the victory over the Beast," is the song of Moses ... and the song of the Lamb, John 15:3. His sacrifice, the efficacy of which avails for those who accept the salvation thereby provided, forms the ground of the execution of Divine wrath for the rejector, and the defier of God, John 14:10;
(c) in the description of the second "Beast," Revelation 13:11, seen in the vision "like a lamb," suggestive of his acting in the capacity of a false messiah, a travesty of the true. For the use in the Sept. See Note under No. 3.
[ 3,,G286, amnos ]
"a lamb," is used figuratively of Christ, in John 1:29, John 1:36, with the article, pointing Him out as the expected One, the One to be well known as the personal fulfilment and embodiment of all that had been indicated in the OT, the One by whose sacrifice deliverance from Divine judgment was to be obtained; in Acts 8:32 (from the Sept. of Isaiah 53:7) and 1 Peter 1:19, the absence of the article stresses the nature and character of His sacrifice as set forth in the symbolism. The reference in each case is to the lamb of God's providing, Genesis 22:8, and the Paschal lamb of God's appointment for sacrifice in Israel, e.g., Exodus 12:5, Exodus 12:14, Exodus 12:27 (cp. 1 Corinthians 5:7).
Note: The contrast between arnion and amnos does not lie in the diminutive character of the former as compared with the latter. As has been pointed out under No. 2, arnion lost its diminutive force. The contrast lies in the manner in which Christ is presented in the two respects. The use of amnos points directly to the fact, the nature and character of His sacrifice; arnion (only in the Apocalypse) presents Him, on the ground, indeed, of His sacrifice, but in His acquired majesty, dignity, honor, authority and power. In the Sept. arnion is used in Psalms 114:4, Psalms 114:6; in Jeremiah 11:19, with the adjective akakos, "innocent;" in Jeremiah 27:45, "lambs." There is nothing in these passages to suggest a contrast between a "lamb" in the general sense of the term and the diminutive; the contrast is between "lambs" and sheep. Elsewhere in the Sept. amnos is in general used some 100 times in connection with "lambs" for sacrifice.”
The Lamb of God pointedly meant Jesus Christ dies for our sins as a sacrifice to obtain the forgiveness of sins and the right of believers to become children of God.
X). Heb 12:2,
“fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of Faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
28). The Author and Perfecter of Faith
Jesus Christ is the Author and Perfecter of faith.You have faith in God and in Christ, not because you are better than others, or you have any merit. It is all because the grace of God.
Faith is so important.
Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be
One who rewards those who seek Him.”
By faith we come to God and seek Him. You do not need to commit great sins like murder, robbery, rape, etc. to be thrown into Hell. For Jesus says, Jhn 8:24,
“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
Not believing Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind is sufficient to send you to Hell for eternal punishment. Atheists are miserable fools who say there is no God in their hearts.
Thomas Aquinas said, “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”
Augustine said, “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
Oswald Chambers said, “Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.”
Henry David Thoreau said, “Remember that the smallest seed of faith is of more worth than the largest fruit of happiness.”
Aiden Wilson Tozer said, “God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.”
George Muller said, “The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”
Jesus says, Jhn 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s home are many mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
The place that Jesus prepares for His believers is the Holy City, New Jerusalem.
Rev 21:1-7,
“Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Haven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the Tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I AM making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these Words are faithful and true.” Then He said
to me, “It is done. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the Water of Life, without cost. The one who overcomes will inherit
these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.”
Y). Mat 1:25,
“but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he named Him Jesus.”
29). JESUS
Jesus - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Jesus
[ 1,,G2424, iesous ]
is a transliteration of the Heb. Joshua," meaning "Jehovah is salvation," i.e., "is the Savior," "a common name among the Jews, e.g., Exodus 17:9; Luke 3:29 (RV); Colossians 4:11. It was given to the Son of God in Incarnation as His personal name, in obedience to the command of an angel to Joseph, the husband of His Mother, Mary, shortly before He was born, Matthew 1:21. By it He is spoken of throughout the Gospel narratives generally, but not without exception, as in Mark 16:19-Mark 16:20; Luke 7:13, and a dozen other places in that Gospel, and a few in John.
"'Jesus Christ' occurs only in Matthew 1:1, Matthew 1:18; Matthew 16:21, marg.; Mark 1:1; John 1:17; John 17:3. In Acts the name 'Jesus' is found frequently. 'Lord Jesus' is the normal usage, as in Acts 8:16; Acts 19:5, Acts 19:17; See also the reports of the words of Stephen, Acts 7:59, of Ananias, Acts 9:17, and of Paul, Acts 16:31; though both Peter, Acts 10:36, and Paul, Acts 16:18, also used 'Jesus Christ.'
"In the Epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude, the personal name is not once found alone, but in Rev. eight times (RV), Revelation 1:9; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 17:6; Revelation 19:10 (twice); Revelation 20:4; Revelation 22:16.
"In the Epistles of Paul 'Jesus' appears alone just thirteen times, and in the Hebrews eight times; in the latter the title 'Lord' is added once only, at Hebrews 13:20. In the Epistles of James, Peter John, and Jude, men who had companied with the Lord in the days of His flesh, 'Jesus Christ' is the invariable order (in the RV) of the Name and Title, for this was the order of their experience; as 'Jesus' they knew Him first, that He was Messiah they learnt finally in His resurrection. But Paul came to know Him first in the glory of heaven, Acts 9:1-Acts 9:6, and his experience being thus the reverse of theirs, the reverse order, 'Christ Jesus,' is of frequent occurrence in his letters, but, with the exception of Acts 24:24, does not occur elsewhere in the RV.
"In Paul's letter the order is always in harmony with the context. Thus 'Christ Jesus' describes the Exalted One who emptied Himself, Philippians 2:5, and testifies to His pre-existence; 'Jesus Christ' describes the despised and rejected One Who was afterwards glorified, Philippians 2:11, and testifies to His resurrection. 'Christ Jesus' suggests His grace, 'Jesus Christ' suggests His glory." * [* From Notes on Thessalonians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 26,29.]
Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible
Verse 25 “Knew her not - The doctrine of the virginity of Mary before the birth of Jesus is a doctrine of the Scriptures, and is very important to be believed. But the Bible does not affirm that she had no children afterward. Indeed, all the accounts in the New Testament lead us to suppose that she did have them. See the notes at Matthew 13:55-56. The language here evidently implies that she lived as the wife of Joseph after the birth of Jesus.
Her first-born son - Her oldest son, or the one who had the privilege of birthright by the law. His name Jesus - This was given by divine appointment, Matthew 1:21. It was conferred upon him on the eighth day, at the time of his circumcision, Luke 2:21.”
Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament
Verse 25
And knew her not (κα ουκ εγινωσκεν αυτην). Note the imperfect tense, continuous or linear action. Joseph lived in continence with Mary till the birth of Jesus. Matthew does not say that Mary bore no other children than Jesus. "Her firstborn" is not genuine here, but is a part of the text in Luke 2:7. The perpetual virginity of Mary is not taught here. Jesus had brothers and sisters and the natural meaning is that they were younger children of Joseph and Mary and not children of Joseph by a previous marriage. So Joseph "called his name Jesus" as the angel had directed and the child was born in wedlock. Joseph showed that he was an upright man in a most difficult situation.
Z). Job 19:25,
“Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last, He will take His stand on the earth.”
30). My Redeemer
Only those who have been saved can say to Jesus Christ my Redeemer. It is very intimate and affectionate to say, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last, He will take His stand on the earth.
Isa 59:20, “A Redeemer will come to Zion,
and to those in Jacob who turn from wrongdoing,” declares the LORD.”
This was a prophesy that a Redeemer would come to the land of the Jews and to those in Jacob who turn from wrongdoing.
Psa 19:14, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
It is the prayer of the redeemed that our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable to the sight of the Lord, our Rock and Redeemer.
Isa 44:6, “This is what the LORD says, He who is the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of armies:
‘I AM the First and I AM the Last, and there is no God besides Me.”
Jesus is the King of Israel and his Redeemer. Jesus is the First and the Last. There is no other God.
Isa 44:24, “This is what the LORD says, He who is your Redeemer, and the One who formed you from the womb: “I, the LORD, am the Maker of all things, Stretching out the Heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth alone.”
My Redeemer is the One who formed my from the womb, the Lord, the Maker of all things.
What did the Redeemer do?
Luk 24:21-27, “But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is now the third day since these things
happened. But also some women among us left us bewildered. When they were at the tomb early in the morning, and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. And so some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.” And then He said to them, “You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” Then beginning with Moses and with all the Prophets, He explained to them the things written
about Himself in all the Scriptures.”
We must admit we are foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! The worst we miss the glory of Jesus resurrection from the dead. We do not know all the Scriptures in the Old Testament were written about Jesus Himself.
Gal 4:5, “so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters.”
So that Jesus might redeem us who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters of God.
Tit 2:14, “who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds.”
Jesus gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds.
According to https://studybible.info/vines/Redeem,%20Redemption
“Redeem, Redemption - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Redeem, Redemption
[ A-1,Verb,G1805, exagorazo ]
a strengthened form of agorazo, to buy" (See BUY, No. 1), denotes "to buy out" (ex for ek), especially of purchasing a slave with a view to his freedom. It is used metaphorically
(a) in Galatians 3:13; Galatians 4:5, of the deliverance by Christ of Christian Jews from the Law and its curse; what is said of lutron (RANSOM, No. 1) is true of this verb and of agorazo, as to the Death of Christ, that Scripture does not say to whom the price was paid; the various suggestions made are purely speculative;
(b) in the Middle Voice, "to buy up for oneself," Ephesians 5:16; and Colossians 4:5, of "buying up the opportunity" (RV marg.; text, "redeeming the time," where "time" is kairos, "a season," a time in which something is seasonable), i.e., making the most of every opportunity, turning each to the best advantage since none can be recalled if missed.
Note: In Revelation 5:9; Revelation 14:3-Revelation 14:4, AV, agorazo, "to purchase" (RV) is translated "redeemed." See PURCHASE.
[ A-2,Verb,G3084, lutroo ]
"to release on receipt of ransom" (akin to lutron, "a ransom"), is used in the Middle Voice, signifying "to release by paying a ransom price, to redeem"
(a) in the natural sense of delivering, Luke 24:21, of setting Israel free from the Roman yoke;
(b) in a spiritual sense, Titus 2:14, of the work of Christ in "redeeming" men "from all iniquity" (anomia, "lawlessness," the bondage of self-will which rejects the will of God); 1 Peter 1:18 (Passive Voice), "ye were redeemed," from a vain manner of life, i.e., from bondage to tradition. In both instances the Death of Christ is stated as the means of "redemption."
Note: While both No. 1 and No. 2 are translated "to redeem," exagorazo does not signify the actual "redemption," but the price paid with a view to it, lutroo signifies the actual "deliverance," the setting at liberty.
[ B-1,Noun,G3085, lutrosis ]
"a redemption" (akin to A, No. 2), is used
(a) in the general sense of "deliverance," of the nation of Israel, Luke 1:68 RV, "wrought redemption;" Luke 2:38;
(b) of "the redemptive work" of Christ, Hebrews 9:12, bringing deliverance through His death, from the guilt and power of sin. In the Sept., Leviticus 25:29, Leviticus 25:48; Numbers 18:16; Judges 1:15; Psalms 49:8; Psalms 111:9; Psalms 130:7; Isaiah 63:4.
[ B-2,Noun,G629, apolutrosis ]
a strengthened form of No. 1, lit., "a releasing, for (i.e., on payment of) a ransom." It is used of
(a) "deliverance" from physical torture, Hebrews 11:35, See DELIVER, B, No. 1;
(b) the deliverance of the people of God at the coming of Christ with His glorified saints, "in a cloud with power and great glory," Luke 21:28, a "redemption" to be accomplished at the "outshining of His Parousia," 2 Thessalonians 2:8, i.e., at His second advent;
(c) forgiveness and justification, "redemption" as the result of expiation, deliverance from the guilt of sins, Romans 3:24, "through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;" Ephesians 1:7, defined as "the forgiveness of our trespasses," RV; so Colossians 1:14, "the forgiveness of our sins," indicating both the liberation from the guilt and doom of sin and the introduction into a life of liberty, "newness of life" (Romans 6:4); Hebrews 9:15, "for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant," RV, here "redemption of" is equivalent to "redemption from," the genitive case being used of the object from which the "redemption" is effected, not from the consequence of the transgressions, but from the trangressions themselves;
(d) the deliverance of the believer from the presence and power of sin, and of his body from bondage to corruption, at the coming (the Parousia in its inception) of the Lord Jesus, Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:14; Ephesians 4:30. See also PROPITIATION.”
IN CONCLUSION
The names of our Lord are not all listed in this article. I only selected a few for presentation. The most important is the question raised by the Lord Himself:
Mat 16:13-17,
Now when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets.” He said to them, “But who
do you yourselves say that I am?” Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.”
The Roman Catholic Church often errs on misinterpretation of the Scriptures. It has many false doctrines and even heresies.
One important truth is the fact that flesh and blood (including scientists, philosophers and theologians) could not find by their wisdom the spiritual truth, only by Divine Revelation can we have the knowledge of God.
Jesus Christ is the wonderful Savior, you will know Him if only you believe in Him. No one is like Jesus, the Son of God, the coming King of kings and Lord of lords. Would you now accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Today is the day of salvation, would you do it now?
You have learned a lot about the Lord Jesus through His names and titles, there was and there is and there will be no one like Him. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
To receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is to receive the eternal life.

Many Western politicians who claim to be Christians are actually children of the devil who rules the present world. They are doing what their father desires.
AMERICA MUST CHANGE TO SAVE ITSELF
Some important things American people must be aware and take action NOW.
1.This phenomenon denotes the futility of the efforts of the powerless under a tyrant and dictatorship.
2. It is a shame that America in 21st century discards scientific facts for political AND ideological opinions.
3. The destiny of a nation largely depends on its leaders. For a 1,000 years China was lucky to have a great leader in Deng Xiaoping who in 40 short years turned a backward and poor country into the no. 2 economy in the world and marching forward to be Number One World Economy soon. In comparison, since President Richard Nixon who sought a just and lasting peace for the world, all his successors sought an absolute military superiority and turned the good Republic into an evil empire.
4. Open your eyes and look around if you can find an able, credible, respectable, responsible, and moral leader in America today? Where can you find a Lincoln or Jefferson? Sad is the American situation, a nation is led astray into the wrong direction with high speed. According to a famous historian, Arnold Joseph Toynbee who said, “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder." Actually, Russia and China are no threats to America at all. My fellow Americans, do you see our country is committing suicide by American leaders and politicians? Not murdered by foreign powers.
5. Now, do something, speak up, stand up for America. Insist America to give up the evil empire, and return to a respectable Republic. Rebuild and reform America now or never!
Willie Wong, 10/31/2020 -
FOURTEEN WAYS TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
1.Be honest to tell the evil past of America, and apologize for all its crimes since the end of World War II to the present AND make reparations where possible. Rewrite American history to tell the truth so that the world may know.
2. Hold a national referendum to let the American people to have sovereignty over the the future of the nation as they may choose what form of nation to be:
- A. Empire
- B. Republic
Note: If the majority of American legal voters choose America to be an Empire, then this suggestion is no use. The nation is lost and not salvageable. Therefore, it is assumed the majority American people would choose the nation to be the Republic. As a good Republic, America seeks to be friendly to all nations, big and small, and promote international cooperation in all fields for peace, progress, and prosperity.
3.Change the U.S. Constitution by stipulating the people to have the final sovereignty over the government: A 51% of voters through national referendum can have the power to remove the president, vice president, supreme court justice, senator, cabinet officer, and any high ranking national official without impeachment.
4. Change the United States foreign policy of aggression, expansion, war and intervention into sincerely seeking a just and lasting peace for the world. Sanction, tariff, boycott, false accusation or charge, military operation, regime change, etc. are no longer employed to threaten any nation. America will obey the international laws under UN, WTO, WHO, the International Court of Justice, etc. and respect all international agreements.
5. Disband NATO and close all American overseas military bases, and withdraw all American troops to return home. America will no longer sell weapons, or weapons of mass destruction. America will annul any military or political alliance.
6. Downsize the government, the federal government is decreased by 2/3 (including the Defense Department), and reduce the pay, benefits and pensions of all federal employees by 1/3 across the board. Aim to reduce the national debt and budget deficits. Change Welfare into a self-help and responsibility assistance.
7. Cease the practice of giving secret service protection to the former presidents and families, and do away with any subsidy or budget for the offices of former presidents, presidential libraries; retired congressional leaders offices, and free mail privileges, etc.
8. Ban political lobby of any former government officials on behave of corporations, foreign governments, and any entity ten years after leaving the office. Destroy the military-industrial-security complex.
9. Simplify the legal system, law codes, legal processes in simple English that does not require legal opinion or assistance of lawyers. False and facetious litigation will incur hefty financial penalty or prison depending on the severity of the case. Class action lawsuits and jury trials are abolished. Abolish Affirmative Action so that there is no racial discrimination; no special treatment or privilege to any group. Terrorism and terrorists are treated as national enemies to be destroyed without due process of law.
10.Overhaul and regulate healthcare system so that all citizens are covered at reasonable and affordable cost. Office of Management and Budget shall establish, determine, and publish a national health care pricing schedule to specify the price of each treatment, procedure, test, and medication, etc. For example, the lump sum of having a baby is $200, all inclusive. The price of pulling a tooth is $50, all inclusive. Appendectomy is $150 all inclusive. One tablet of antibiotic is $0.10 one capsule, etc. Doctors, hospital owners, labs, medical supplies, drug and insurance
companies that defraud or overcharge patient or Medicare or Medicaid accumulatively over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized for the U.S. Treasury. Corruption of any kind over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized.
11.Overhaul and simplify taxation to reduce the gap of the rich and the poor. A new taxation Table will be set up to determine fair and just tax rate. For example, whether corporation, institution, or individual will follow the Tax Table without deduction, exemption, subsidy or allowance, or considering the size of the family:
Income of $50,000 or under is tax free.
Income of $100,000 - $9 million - 10%
Income of $10 million - $49 million - 20%
Income of $50 million - $299 million - 30 %
Income of $300 million - $699 million - 40%
Income of $700 million - $1 billion - 50%
Income of $10 billion & above- 90%
Inheritance under $10 million is tax free.
Abolish all tax free institutions, foundations, organizations, churches, and religions.
12.Establish a national, state, and city Ombudsman Office to execute and promote justice all over the country. Civil cases can have two routes, go to court and pay court fee. Go to Ombudsman Office which is free. Civil cases include bribery, corruption, abuse of power, unfair treatment, brutality, sexual harassment, breach of contract, false advertising, broken promise, discrimination, injury, fraud, false accusation, immoral behavior of official, etc. that does not involve death. The Chief Ombudsman is appointed by the president without hearing for the Nation Ombudsman Office in the federal government. Each governor shall appoint a State Ombudsman without hearing and City Ombudsman with the consent of the mayor. State Ombudsmen and City Ombudsmen report directly to the Chief Ombudsman in Washington, DC. Chief Ombudsman and State Ombudsman may request assistance from the FBI for investigative purposes. Chief Ombudsman, State Ombudsman and City Ombudsman are supported by investigators to handle all cases. All false and facetious complaint cases will be penalized. All false testimony and fake evidence will be financially penalized or imprisonment. For example, a local newspaper falsely accused me of not paying subscription fee and used a collection agency to threaten to ruin my credit although I never subscribed or read the paper. I do not need to hire a lawyer. I can go to the local Ombudsman office to settle the case, and the Ombudsman is a federal administrative judge who is empowered to execute justice and punishes and penalizes the criminal. The penalty fees collected are used to support the Ombudsman Office.
13.Rebuild national and state and local infrastructure; protect the environment; take effective measures to counter climate change and global warming; control contamination and pollution of soil, food, drug, water and air. Practice equal opportunity in job, promotion, housing, health care, retirement, and education. College admission is based on test score, grade point average, and moral character. American universities are open to the whole world without discrimination of race, color, ideology, or nationality. Every university is required to provide some scholarships especially to poor but bright and worthy students. America promotes the advancement of science and technology to share with the world community.
14. America promotes free competition and cooperation in science and technology; free trade and free market system; and each nation may choose which form of government suitable to its national policy and social condition. America will not impose its political and economic system on any nation. However, America will implement American English as the national language to be used in education,
business, court, transportation, recreation, research and development, government services, and all public places. Any foreign language or dialect is not forbidden in private use. Henceforth, America ceases to be an empire, but seeks equity, equality, and justice for all. Domestically, American embraces Protestant ethic which stresses hard work, thrift, and morality to rebuild America; but no one is required to become a Protestant, and there is absolute religious freedom in America.

America Wants to Destroy China
The facts that the leaders of the UNITED STATES of America comprehensively and consistently
suppress China’s peaceful rise, oppress China, hold down China; spy on China, boycott China,
sanction China, antagonize and provoke China by military operations in the South China Sea,
Yellow Sea and the East China Sea with aircraft carriers, war ships and war planes violating
China’s sovereignty; make Taiwan de facto an American colony and sell deadly weapons to
Taiwan to war against China; support riots and terror in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet; ban
China’s most advanced technology (Huawei 5G), corporations and software (Tik Tak); encircle
and target China with more than 700 overseas military bases around the world; block China’s
diplomatic efforts; employ regime change in Beijing; undermine China’s Belt and Road initiative
and enterprises; tell lies about China virus and spreading of COVID-19; smear and sully China
in every way possible; intend to destroy China (RAND PLAN); ETC. these are not notions or
imaginations or incorrect perceptions of Chinese leaders born yesterday, they are substantiated
by long history since the infamous Opium Wars, the unjust American wars and bloody military
interventions since the end of World War II, the sending of American 7th Fleet to prevent the
reunification of Taiwan with Mainland, ETC. And China does not dream up American malice, ill
will, hostilities and aggression, lies and falsehoods and false accusations; they are clear as the
sky is blue, and clear as crystal. The most outrageous and immoral accusation is that the
domineering China causes all the conflicts and problems and troubles to America, China is the
prime threat to American national security. Such distortion and deception would even blush the devil. Compounded by the fact that almost all American leaders and politicians claim to be
Christians. American leaders and politicians are most skillful \in raising the banners of
democracy, human right, freedom, equality, justice, etc. when they are bent on attacking and
destroying other nations and peoples without reason or cause. The American two parties are
divisive in everything, but united as one against China. America does not show any interest in
solving American economic, financial, legal, political, racial, trade, diplomatic, and social
problems at home. America does not mind its own business, but blatantly interfere in the
internal affairs of so many nations and peoples. America practices empty and phony democracy
where 1 percent of the population rules over the 99 percent; where the rich and powerful get
richer and richer; where racial discrimination is systemic, where injustice is the rule of law, and
where high crime rate, unrest, fear, incivility, lawlessness, and vulgarity characterize the
American society. American leaders and politicians are expressly jealous of China’s successes
and afraid of a strong and united China. In the last minute America sets up the so-called Asian
NATO to target China in Asia just as NATO to target Russia in Europe, with members
including Australia, Japan, and India. Each of these members has private or ulterior and
undisclosed motive of its own. However, the members are obligated to take orders as running
dogs from America to go to war and die first for America. \The world will be better off the
moment America minds its own business and \cease and desist from all aggression and
intervention.

A RESPONSE TO POMPEO’s POMPOUS SPEECH AT THE NIXON LIBRARY.
1. YES. “U.S. engagement with China is a dismal failure,” not because President Nixon’s grand China policy was a failure; but because all the successors of President Nixon did not and do not follow his step in seeking a “just and lasting peace” for the world. All Nixon’s successors, both Democratic and Republican presidents, and American politicians of both parties have relentlessly and persistently sought “absolute military supremacy in order to have world dictatorship and domination.” The American president and politicians, without doubt, want to continuously dictate and dominate the world. They threaten other nations with their strongest military power and largest nuclear weapons. That was not Nixon’s policy. They maintain and reinforce America as the sole evil empire in the world, no more a Republic. What the former presidents and current president have been doing since Nixon are an open book, although they may shamelessly lie, misrepresent and distort history. For they are expert in deception. The current president is a demagogue, proven shameless liar, and a warmonger. He is a disgrace to the Republican Party, to America, to all patriotic Americans. There is no need to provide all the facts and evidence of his evil deeds and schemes, they will be voluminous and encyclopedic. All you have to do is to watch the news on TV. American mass media are deliberately making so much fake and false news and they are hostile and biased against China, Russia, etc. There is no doubt, American president and politicians are leading America to the wrong path and to the path of self-destruction. They are oppressing peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, etc., and they can rise up to testify to the American war atrocities, injustice, and brutality. Millions of refugees can also rise up to testify against the American evil empire which has been established by American presidents and politicians since Nixon. Who are responsible for making America the most hated nation on earth. Why Japanese citizens do not want America to have military bases in Japan? Why Koreans do not want American military bases in Korea? Why Germany said No to America?
2. The United Nations, the members of the United Nations, most reputable international institutions, and all nations of the world oppressed by the Axis of Evil led by America (excluding Japan, Australia, Canada, UK, EU, NATO, etc.) can testify what the American government has done since Nixon. They can also testify what China has done since Nixon. The only nation on earth which has lifted up 770 million Chinese from poverty is China. The poor and backward country has become the second largest economy in the world by hard work and thrift. In comparison, the population of poor Americans has increased a great deal since Nixon. The Nixon era was the golden age of American history. In the last 40 years China has achieved most spectacular successes in all fields and fronts than any nation on earth. China has aided more than 100 nations without strings attached. Out of envy and jealousy, American presidents and politicians as well as European politicians target and treat China as an enemy. Why the whole world is worried about American unilateralism, including American, European and Asian allies? Now America stands alone in the world in spite of its military might.
3. Since Nixon’s trip to China, American presidents and politicians have attacked and engaged in numerous unjust wars and bloody military interventions to this day. Since Nixon, China has not attacked or occupied one single nation. On the contrary China has aided more than 100 nations in many ways, and most recently in helping many nations to fight against the CORONAVIRUS pandemic which the Pompous Pompeo and other politicians falsely accused China of inventing and spreading of the COVID-19. These malicious accusers have been discredited and denied by large group of impeccable international scientists and specialists. Why to call on nations to induce change in the Chinese government when Beijing’s actions never threaten Americans and our prosperity? China has never threatened the security and prosperity of any nation or its people. In fact, China trade has contributed greatly and tremendously to American prosperity. Why Chinese tourists are most welcome by all capitalistic nations? American farmers, retail business and others can testify to the benefit of China trade. China has changed for the better is the truth no honest man can deny. Ask most Americans has America changed for the worse since Nixon? This is a well-known fact for the whole world to see. Can America change from an evil empire back to a respectable Republic?
4. American model of democracy has failed so miserably that a great number of Americans express their disapproval and disappointment in protests and demonstrations across the nation since the public murder of a black suspect by a white policeman televised life on TV. Ask yourself if American democracy is good and right, why so many Americans protest and demonstrate in demanding justice, equality and true freedom? Why does the American income disparity become the largest gap in the world? When one percent of population rules over the ninety nine percent, do you call it democracy and freedom? When presidents and politicians incur the largest deficits and debts in the world, is that demonstrating America succeeding? How can there be unrest on American streets in so many cities across America if the American democracy is a glorious success? Why does the Homeland Security powers turn against Americans? Why chaos in Hong Kong is a shining scene, but chaos in America is not. Why do most Americans think China has done well to protect its people from CORONAVIRUS pandemic, while most Americans do not believe their government has done a good job in protecting Americans?
5. Be honest, and study history. You will find out Western powers, Great Britain, Japan, and the United States have wronged China too many times since the infamous Opium Wars. Strangest phenomenon is the recent facts, that America, United Kingdom, Australia, Taiwan, etc. have planned and funded some young Chinese traitors and terrorists to create riots and terrorism in Hong Kong. Those Chinese terrorists killed, burned, looted, bombed, robbed, smashed doors and windows of public and private properties, created obstacles in public transportation, attacked and wounded police force, caused chaos, lawlessness, fear and unrest among Hong Kong residents and businesses for more than a year; the former U.S. presidents and current president and American and European politicians called those riots in Hong Kong a fight for freedom and cheered and applauded those anarchists and criminals. Now that China has enacted a national security law to protect Hong Kong and its sovereignty, the evil legacy of British empire which never practiced democracy or freedom in its colonies, America, and others hypocritically say that Hong Kong is losing democracy and freedom. America, UK, Australia, EU, Canada, etc. have violated the sovereignty of China and interfered in China’s internal affairs without shame or reason. In comparison with the recent demonstrations and protests conducted by Americans across the country after a black man was killed in public on TV by a white policeman and with Hong Kong riots; the City of Portland is a case in point. The mayor was among the crowds hit by tear gas. The federal agents are armed well like the military. The current president calls those American protesters “thugs”, “terrorists”, “anarchists”, etc. Well are they not American freedom fighters all over the country? When terrorists did evil in Hong Kong Western politicians called them freedom fighters. When Americans protest and demonstrate against injustice and government corruption they are called thugs, terrorists and anarchists. This double standard and duplicity would even embarrass the devil.
6. The United States is the only nation which is having military bases all over the world to target China and Russia with the largest quantity of weapons of mass destruction. America is daily conducting military exercises and operations in China’s and Russian air space and territorial waters threatening the peace and stability of the world, how is that they call it China threat and Russia threat? No China plane or warship ever get close to American east and west coast. The increasing provocative and oppressive military, diplomatic, trade, economic, financial, technological, etc. actions against China and Russia, etc. loom large in the horizon that an all out nuclear war is preparing and leading by the United States. Can any honest, conscientious, and patriotic American say such American engagement is good to America and good to the world? Do you see American president and politicians are committing suicide by leading America and the world to the brink of total destruction? Who has the truth and standing in the truth? Let the God of Righteousness be the Judge, and let Americans have the right to form their own opinion without fear or retaliation. Do Americans want an Imperial America or a respected Republic?
7. Jesus says, Mat 12:36, “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the Day of Judgment.” The Day of Judgment is coming. How can European and American imperialists and colonialists and Japanese militarists give an accounting for what they have done to the world in the last 500 years or more in terms of genocide, massacre, mass slaughter, slave labor, sex slavery, robbery, burning, torture, looting, oppression, exploitation, occupation, etc. The Judge of the Living and the Dead may ask American and European politicians about the so-called China virus, China threat, etc.
8. With boldness I predicted the incumbent will lose big in the November presidential election, not because his opponent is good (I will not vote for Biden), but because the great majority of American voters are disgusted and distressed with the wrong national policies, black lies, special interests that dominate America, incompetent leadership and dismal failures of the incumbent. What nations want to follow America except Japan, Australia, etc. which have their ulterior motive?
9. Let the oppressed nations and impoverished peoples of the world rise up to form a New World Order. A New World Order where the days of white supremacy rule are numbered and over. A New Word Order where unilateralism is discarded, where imperialism is dead and buried, where lies are on the run, and where multilateralism and justice will govern the world, and where nations and peoples will work together for the common good, for peace, progress and prosperity.
10. The West has enjoyed power and wealth for hundreds of years. The whole world knows that Western democracy and freedom are big lies. What the United States and its allies are most afraid of is soon China will become the world number one economy and the Chinese citizens continuously enjoy so many rights and privileges, the world will naturally think the American model of government is a dismal failure, and that the Chinese model of government is the apparent great success that the whole world can see before their eyes. Consequently, the new world order has peacefully overthrown the Western supremacy and begun a new age where each nation big or small may decide which model they want to adopt and which system of government they feel comfortable to live under. The days of Western aggression and domination are over.

No governor or mayor may obstruct the deportation of illegal aliens. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport illegal migrants right away.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everthing free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!

If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollh and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians repartriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukaranian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discriminations. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abundoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
I agree with Arnold J. Toynbee who said, “ Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
- 1. America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
- 2. America is committing suicide because wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demostrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorce debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
- 3. America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
- 4. America is committing suicide by not making the American English the only official language in America.
- 5. America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
- 6. America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
- 7. America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
- 8. America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
- 9. America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
- 10. IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
- 11. America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
- 12. It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish land and relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Pelestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour -- then China is free indeed -- no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China.
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
- 1. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization. The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing.
- 2. China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
- 3. China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
- 4. China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
- 5. China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news, counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
- 6. China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
- 7. Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
8. China's troops should never be sent under UN's peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars --to die for nothing.
9. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
10. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
11. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
