Merry Christmas and may the love of the Father through Jesus (Iēsous) be a reality in you and your family. 🙏🏻 🧡

So the PREMIER of NSW, the PM and the head of ASIO (Australian CIA) all spoke at a press conference about the Bondi massacre and had NOTHING to say about the attackers—NIL. No description. Nothing. I know more about them scrolling 𝕏. Unbelievable.

A key verse preachers use to claim God will bring prosperity/wealth if you are generous: “...give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap...” (Luke 6:38) The context is giving LOVE, GRACE, MERCY & FORGIVENESS, not money. The verse right before it shows this: “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37) Jesus concludes: “For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38) What we are to do and why we are to do it and the reward if we do it is plainly outlined here: "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." (Lk 6:35) Unlike YHWH, Jesus promises are for His Kingdom in Heaven and not of this world.

YHWH's fiery wrath vs. the Father's rebuke of violence. YHWH calls down fire at Elijah's word to roast 100 men alive (2 Kings 1:9-13). Christ blasts His disciples for even suggesting it: "You know not what spirit you are of!" (Luke 9:55).

Discovering that YHWH isn't who we've been told by the Church is unsettling—we've all been there, Franklin. Keep seeking the Truth, and you'll find the Father who was revealed to us only by Jesus.

YHWH marks the flesh with violence; the Father redeems the spirit with love. YHWH commands circumcision—cutting the flesh as a sign of his covenant (Gen 17:10–14). Christ never mentions it but heals bodies whole, and declares: “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21).

Look only to the One who came down from heaven—Christ alone reveals the Father and the way of salvation. No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. (Evangelion, cf. John 3:13)

YHWH impairs; the Father heals. YHWH leaves Isaac blind in old age (Gen 27:1), has David dagger the blind & lame (2 Sam 5:6-8), & shuts ears: "Hear but not hear" (Isa 6:9). Christ opens blind eyes (Luke 7:22; 18:35-43) & calls: "He who has ears, hear!" (Luke 8:8).

I don't think there's enough popcorn in the world for all the drama in the conservative movement right now.
