DELETED

My new handle is out there. I've attempted to follow my people.

account creation completely busted. cc

.

I will be deleting/abandoning/orphaning this npub soon. 10,000+ follows even as I interact with maybe 50 people. Those who appreciate my content will be able to find me again.

Finally, I had a painting of Jesus walking with the lost sheep, now found.

My tradition, the reformed faith, takes a strict position on the 2nd Commandment (graven images) ; we believe the spirit of this law forbids a believer from keeping images, especially art, of heavenly things, including even the earthly body of the Messiah, for His divine nature is inseparable.

Even this painting, which many would argue passes the letter of the law, does violence to the spirit of the law. When I disposed of it, my flesh resisted and I felt wounded. In this, I understood how man's fallen heart is eager to replace God with objects and become attached to them.

When I meditated on it, searched the Scriptures, and prayed... I became convicted that God wants His people to depend wholly on Him. So simple, yet difficult for us. The flesh clings to this world, and resists the Spirit.

Repent always.

I understand why faith is hard on a rich man. There can be no half measures when forsaking the world and following Christ. May God discipline you, brethren. 🙏

This one was hard. My wife and I had two wedding ceremonies: one in a chapel in the US and one in a shrine in Japan.

As part of that latter ceremony, we recieved a temple charm with my family name on it and both our names.

This charm is the most egregious of all the betraying momentos, aka religious objects that I possessed, since it literally was a signed seal over our marriage covenant.

It had become an important momento and symbol of our marriage. But now, as the Spirit is pressing me to rightly order my affections and clean my house, this charm can have no place in my walk.

According to trustworthy #Bitcoin influencers, Bitcoin will fail unless we don't kill grandma by December.

#BIP110 stop the spread. 💉

Gold is a rock.

#Bitcoin's greatest weakness is that humans can change it gradually over time, and so it can be socially attacked.

Narrator: it didn't end up being a problem at all.

The nonsensical pressure to constantly change #Bitcoin significantly undermines the value proposition of Bitcoin.

Gold doesn't have the core vs knots civil war. That's one of it's most redeeming features.

please implement a feature that allows curse words to be censored with asterisks; presently I need to add them to mute words which causes the entire post to disappear, which is undesirable. cc

I've had to mute Alan. Do not be decieved by his false gospel. I pray to the Lord that he is disciplined and brought #ToChristAlone.

As someone who grew up with a fascination of Japan, I ultimately traveled there many times, participated in many Japanese activities, and acquired many momentos.

Festival garments, wishing coins to donate to the Shinto temple, little charms for good luck, etc...

Japan is a secular nation that still practices many annual ceremonies of their Shinto/Zen past. To them, it is inert, but culturally rich. The spiritualism of it has faded with the younger generation. Now people go to enjoy the music, food, and sense of ancient times and culture of their people.

Before I was born again, I viewed this as harmless, and was fascinated with their far eastern way which was so exotic and strange compared with the west, especially Japan which has a wholly individual and unique culture.

Now, as someone being made progressively conformant to the Lord, I understand that these are objects and ceremonies of false religion, and even if I do not treat them as implements of worship, but as mementos, they still dishonor my Lord and must go.

Repent always.

Idols disposed of.

I've been hunting for a healthy every day use chopstick, and I've finally found one.

The Keith Titanium, ultralight (15g b/c hollow), square handled chopsticks.

Most chopsticks are made of plastic, cheap chemically treated wood pulp, or nickel toxic stainless steel.

Titanium chopsticks are inert, even anti microbial, but are often too heavy or too big. These are light and dextrous. Good to go. I bought 20 and replaced all ours.

Another area of which my conscious, and the Spirit, had convicted me was possessing Daruma dolls from trips to Japan. Those have already been disposed of. Repent always.

God is like a star at the top of a mountain where wordly men cannot even enter to climb and even the most holy men are incinerated into dust after a thousand feet of climbing. ⛰️✴️

Noone can ascend to meet a perfect God. Noone. Nobody is pure enough to commune with our Creator in eternity. Nobody can go and be where He is.

We must be escorted by the One sent down to vouch for us. We must obtain a righteousness that is not our own. We must have our sins atoned for.

We must forsake everything and follow Christ Jesus.

Christians are not "at home in the world", we are temporary sojourners on pilgrimage to our Lord and Savior.

Anybody teaching a false gospel will answer to Jesus Christ on the judgment seat.

Repent and believe the Gospel.

#ToChristAlone

Thich Naht Hanh is a deciever with a false gospel. He turns communion into Buddhist mindfulness and the kingdom of God into the cosmos, then claims we are "of the same reality as Jesus".

Hahn turns the resurrection into a mindfulness technique anyone can practice, saying: "If Jesus Christ could do it, then we human beings like him can also do it." He says that Christ is not the sole mediator.

In Thich's deception, Buddhism sets the boundaries and Christianity gets rewritten to fit. The historic Buddha and the historic Christ cannot be reconciled: one points to extinction with no personal God, the other is God in the flesh who came to save.

Reject Hahn, follow Christ.

#ToChristAlone

Alan Watts was an enemy of Jesus Christ. He openly mocked the virgin birth, resurrection, and the need for salvation through Jesus. He teaches a false gospel that leads people away from Christ.

The "religion of Jesus" Watts pushes is just his own Eastern-flavored spirituality. He calls the biblical Jesus a "human freak" who was "unnaturally born and whose corpse was weirdly reanimated". He says the most reverent act is to destroy the church's image of him.

True Christianity has always been a religion about Jesus: His life, death, and resurrection as the only way to the Father.

Zen, an esoteric religion of self actualization and self enlightenment, is not neutral and not compatible with Christianity.

Reject Watts, follow Christ.
