Faith
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Faith is one of the most precious treasures a man can possibly possess. It is a pity that so few understand what the Bible teaches about it.
Faith is often confused with presumption, optimism, determination, superstition and imagination. Actually it is simply believing. This is why we read in Rom. 4:5:
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Obviously, faith honors God, while doubting His Word must insult and displease Him. The Apostle John wrote:
“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater…. He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.
“And this is the record: that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son” (I John 5:9-11).
Little wonder that we read in Heb. 11:6:
“Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
But why did God give the law, if salvation can be obtained by simple faith? St. Paul answers:
“The law was our schoolmaster, to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24).
“Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law”
(Rom. 3:31).
How grateful we all should be that God, in the Bible, has told us about redemption through Christ and how we may be saved by faith in Him!
“[Christ] was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 4:25; 5:1).

Wondering if Sundance got a hold of a bad frogleg. I’ll gladly give the chef a stern talking to—-
For almost the entire Trump era—I’ve proudly considered Intellectual Froglegs and the Conservative Treehouse to be allies, as we fight together for MAGA.
Did I miss something?
Intellectual Froglegs ain’t been seen at the treehouse since October 2018 [mid-term show]…
Last year we were featured 5 times—not once this year, and it’s halfway over
I lost Vimeo & YouTube last November… I sure hope I didn’t lose The Treehouse too?
I know you have a FULL PLATE with the DC Mental Hospital— but I sure hope you’ll consider Froglegs for future, weekend, holiday or late night posting. The Treepers always seem to enjoy. I know I do.
In short— I need my online friends, not all the time —but every now and then is a TREMENDOUS help.

The “Open Thread” photo of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reminded me that I recently finished Sen. Tom Cottons book: “Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery”. I listened to the audio book but it’s also available in all formats. It’s well written, interesting and informative. The first part is history of Arlington and the military cemetery and the second portion is about the soldiers of The 3rd United States Infantry Regiment (Old Guard) who guard the tomb, perform military funerals, are honor guards and ceremonial troops. The selection process and training of these soldiers is intense. As an example, Sen. Cotton thinks that the Colonial Color Guard (The guys that wear the Colonial uniforms and funny hats) are the most physically fit troops in the Army. The wash out rate in training is 80%; one test in training is for a soldier to stand at rigid attention for three hours in a temperature regulated room, set to >90 degrees and high humidity…..and not pass out.
Sen. Tom Cotton did a tour with the Old Guard between his combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sen Cotton was in the 101st Airborne Div. and a platoon leader of an air assault platoon. He said he was selected for the tour at Arlington because they needed tall officers; he is 6’5″. I suspect he had qualifications in addition to his height.

This is about as clear an explanation of modern-day fascism’s rationale for establishing a totalitarian society as I’ve seen. The Ameican buzzword is “Behavioral Economics” but careful reading here shows that you have others with authority taking charge of the “choice architecture”. So just who is the choice architect? Of course it’s the Chinese bureaucrat giving people grades based on the stat’s version of what “social desirability” is. If the choice architect decides you aren’t as socially desirable as he things you should be suddenly your credit cards don’r work or something else equally punishing. In this country Youtube and Vimeo just did something similar to Joe Don. Other identical “nudges” are happening all across social media as the leftists in control attempt to “nudge” conservatives off their platforms. None of this stuff is accidental folks.
“Decision makers do not make choices in a vacuum. They make them in an environment where many features, noticed and unnoticed, can influence their decisions. The person who creates that environment is, in our terminology, a choice architect. In this paper we analyze some of the tools that are available to choice architects. Our goal is to show how choice architecture can be used to help nudge people to make better choices (as judged by themselves) without forcing certain outcomes upon anyone, a philosophy we call libertarian paternalism. The tools we highlight are: defaults, expecting error, understanding mappings, giving feedback, structuring complex choices, and creating incentives.

FTA –
On Friday, Cook County Judge Michael Toomin ruled in support of O’Brien’s petition that a special prosecutor be appointed to reinvestigate the Smollett mess. And he mocked Foxx’s “creative lawyering.”
This could lead to new charges against Smollett, the Hollywood actor and Obama Celebrity Friend, whom Foxx inexplicably cut loose even after a grand jury indicted him for allegedly faking a racial/political hate crime that became a national media sensation in part because he blamed it all on supporters of President Donald Trump.
But Toomin’s ruling also allows the special prosecutor to delve into Foxx’s own handling of the case, meaning that Foxx and her people may also be questioned, under oath.
Foxx has a big political fundraiser coming up. That will be fun, to hear social justice warriors stand and rally to her side about how great she is for not prosecuting accused criminals like Jussie Smollett, even as she’s being investigated herself.

I’ve always been struck by the implications of Matthew 7:22 – “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’”
Obviously, they did. So, they surely were confident that they were “on God’s good side.” Indeed, their suppositions appeared to be supported(!) by prophecies that came true, demons that were cast out, and miracles that worked. They believed that they were good, religious people. But Jesus had a fundamentally different standard: he watched their actions. He saw that they were evildoers, despite their righteous talk.
Rev. Edwards’ sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” seems a very fitting description of what awaits those who do evil in God’s name. There is absolutely nothing that you do, or even that you think, of which God is not aware.
“Be not deceived: God is not mocked …”

AND THEN I WILL DECLARE TO THEM, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'”
Who practices lawlessness? Christ Himself tells us – but many don’t want to hear it, so they choose to ignore it….
Mark 12: The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers
Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some. Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
“Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not even read this Scripture:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.”

Who is Jesus speaking to when He relates the above parable? The chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. In the parable, these are the leaseholders – the vinedressers.
Who are the ‘servants’ in the parable? The Old Testament prophets, killed by the chief priests, scribes, and elders of ages past.
The vineyard owner’s son is Christ Himself.
Carefully consider what Christ tells us happens after the wicked vinedressers (chief priests, scribes, elders of the temple) kill the son of the vineyard owner.
The vineyard is given to others.
Those ‘others’ are the CHURCH – which is the TRUE Israel of God – comprised mostly of Gentiles and containing only a remnant of the jews (those who accepted the Messiah rather than rejecting Him).
The wicked and lawless kill the Son. This is a CHOICE that they make, for God NEVER interferes with our free will. The Old Covenant was closed – by the CHOICE of the wicked and lawless chief priests, scribes, and elders.
Confirmation of the fact that closure of the Old Covenant was a choice: the chief priests, scribes and elders of the temple who HEARD the parable that Christ spoke recognized themselves. They KNEW that they were the wicked vinedressers in the parable Christ had just relayed!
There are MANY today who either outright DENY what Christ Himself said, or are completely ignorant of His teachings whilst proclaiming themselves to be ‘Christians.’
Consider those who proclaim themselves ‘Christian’ yet celebrate evil alongside those who Christ Himself called out for wickedness and lawlessness…
Now reread….
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

RECONCILING ONE’S SELF TO THE FACT OF SIN
“This is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke xxii. 53
It is not being reconciled to the fact of sin that produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the nobility of human nature, but there is something in human nature which will laugh in the face of every ideal you have. If you refuse to agree with the fact that there is vice and self-seeking, something downright spiteful and wrong in human beings, instead of reconciling yourself to it, when it strikes your life, you will compromise with it and say it is of no use to battle against it. Have you made allowance for this hour and the power of darkness, or do you take a recognition of yourself that misses out sin? In your bodily relationships and friendships do you reconcile yourself to the fact of sin? If not, you will be caught round the next corner and you will compromise with it. If you reconcile yourself to the fact of sin, you will realize the danger at once – Yes, I see what that would mean. The recognition of sin does not destroy the basis of friendship; it establishes a mutual regard for the fact that the basis of life is tragic. Always beware of an estimate of life which does not recognize the fact that there is sin.
Jesus Christ never trusted human nature, yet He was never cynical, never suspicious, because He trusted absolutely in what He could do for human nature. The pure man or woman, not the innocent, is the safeguarded man or woman. You are never safe with an innocent man or woman. Men and women have no business to be innocent; God demands that they be pure and virtuous. Innocence is the characteristic of a child; it is a blameworthy thing for a man or woman not be reconciled to the fact of sin.

HA, they think that will get them off the hook. Its not about what you have filed, its what you have not filed and should have filed. How can a man be charged with a crime that involves taking away his freedom and jailing him and the prosecution FAILS TO PRODUCE ANY OF THE MAIN EVIDENCE for which he was originally charged; either the transcript or the RELEVANT 302’s? No wonder they forced him into a corner and a plea deal.
Flynn’s attorneys requested that his travel restrictions be eased so he can freely travel to California, Texas and north Carolina. The judge turned them down cold stating he was not going to give Flynn preferential treatment. Wondering what would happen if Flynn pulled back on his cooperation agreement? Throw a little resistance in the works???

as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which, I hereby dedicate my life, my soul and all my corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I will subscribe my name written in my own blood, in testimony thereof; and should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the Militia of the Pope cut off my hands and my feet, and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein, with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth and my soul be tortured by demons in an eternal hell forever!
All of which, I, _, do swear by the Blessed Trinity and blessed Sacraments, which I am now to receive, to perform and on my part to keep inviolable; and do call all the heavenly and glorious host of heaven to witness the blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, and witness the same further with my name written and with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and sealed in the face of this holy covenant.”
(He receives the wafer from the Superior and writes his name with the point of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over his heart.)
Superior speaks:
“You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism necessary to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus belonging to this rank.
In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman Catholic would; then one cross his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with forefinger of the right hand to the center of the palm of the left, the other with the forefinger of the left hand points to the center of the palm of the right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head, touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the left side of his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down the stomach and abdomen of the first.

The other answers Impious.” (The meaning of which has already been explained.) “The first will then present a small piece of paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head and arms of a cross three times. You will then give and receive with him the following questions and answers:
Question —From whither do you come? Answer — The Holy faith.
Q. —Whom do you serve?
A. —The Holy Father at Rome, the Pope, and the Roman Catholic Church Universal throughout the world.
Q. —Who commands you?
A. —The Successor of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus or the Soldiers of Jesus Christ.
Q. —Who received you? A. —A venerable man in white hair.
Q. —How?
A. —With a naked dagger, I kneeling upon the cross beneath the banners of the Pope and of our sacred order.
Q. —Did you take an oath?
A. —I did, to destroy heretics and their governments and rulers, and to spare neither age, sex nor condition. To be as a corpse without any opinion or will of my own, but to implicitly obey my Superiors in all things without hesitation of murmuring.
Q. —Will you do that? A. —I will.
Q. —How do you travel? A. —In the bark of Peter the fisherman.
Q. —Whither do you travel? A. —To the four quarters of the globe.
Q. —For what purpose?
A. —To obey the orders of my general and Superiors and execute the will of the Pope and faithfully fulfill the conditions of my oaths.
Q. —Go ye, then, into all the world and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-regent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated.”

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Psalms 107:20 (KJV)

Interesting. KJV is based on the Masoretic text which was altered by the Masorete sect of jewish scribes in … iirc, between the 700s and the year 1000. Some believe (myself included, after looking some of the at the most egregious alterations they made) that the alterations were intended to deny that Christ was, in fact, the Messiah. This is understandable, as Jews do not believe Christ was the Messiah.
I try to check my bible (Septuagint based) whenever the OT is cited, just to see if there is a difference in the texts. This Psalm does have a difference. The Septuagint based bible reads:
“He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their corruptions.”
One might think this is an unimportant difference – but consider that the Masorete text makes it appear that God saved the people from an EXTERNAL thing – destruction.
The Septuagint, on the other hand, makes it clear that God sent His Word to save the people from an INTERNAL thing – their OWN CORRUPTIONS.
Quite a striking alteration IMO, and I thank you for drawing attention to this passage.

Read this to my husband and he immediately noted something that I did not catch.
The first Adam brought corruption and death into God’s creation through his sin.
The second Adam, Jesus Christ, HEALS that corruption and overcomes death through His resurrection.
He also points out that this would absolutely be an EXTREMELY important change to the Masoretes. By altering it, they are in fact denying the resurrection.

And in the neverending reality program that is New Orleans…
The New Orleans Parish Public Defender’s Office hired a woman to be a public defender, donning armor and defending thugs, murderers and the usual street trash that’s been polluting the city for decades. OK, notb ALL of them just the few they manage to catch. In her tenure she defended (what they admit to) over a hundred cases, a SWJ of the first water.
Now for the punchline: no one checked her CV/application and she’s not a licenced lawyer or admitted to the bar in Louisiana. The DA’s office is mum but she might not even have graduated from a law school, they’re not taking any questions about what’s an ‘ongoing investigation’.
The thing is this effects allllll of those cases. Those folks who got off will undoubtedly have their cases stand regardless but all of those convicted will have an automatic appeal, this will clog the hell out of an already clogged ;’legal system’ and most likely force the courts to shanghai local criminal lawyers to handle the overflow. There’s also the question of civil suits against the Parish by persons represented by the non-lawyer and victims whose attackers were let off.
Who needs reality programs or circuses, we gots da city and dey pro-vides a feast of comedy on a daily basis. Did I mention the government’s all Democrats?

Globalism has been promoted as a way to reduce war. It came into full force with the founding of the UN. Since then the US has continuously been at war.
Interdependency can cause war. Until the US become an energy exporter the Straits of Hormuz had great strategic value for the US. An incident there could draw us into a war. Now that we are energy independent the Straits of Hormuz have less strategic value to us, reducing the chances of being drawn into a war.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

I am concerned about a story now circulating about Pres Trump’s supposed assault on a woman named E. Jean Carroll. This story is getting traction much in the way Christine Ford’s story was used to tarnish Bret Kavanaugh. There has nor been near enough push back on this. The story continues getting wide publicity in main stream media, including The Hill, NYT etc., further tarnishing and weakening Pres Trump as he deals with vital national and international matters.
I am requesting Sundance look into this woman’s background.She was reportedly an advice columnist and has written a book which includes the story of her assault by Pres Trump.
Obviously, a story like this will help her sell books to those who suffer TDS.
I am so very angry that Pres Trump, having suffered Stormy Daniels and Avenatti has to endure this BS-yet again.

Came across this random bit of information about President Trump’s old military academy school; Crain’s reports that it had gone into bankruptcy several years ago and was bought by a group of Chinese investors.
The principal of the re-started academy is an immigrant from China, Ms. Jie Zhang, who used to be principal at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan (where Eric Holder attended high school). Ms. Zhang had begun her teaching career at Riker’s Island prison in NYC (where some wanted to put Paul Manafort)
