"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6) _____ There's common gif floating around X, formerly Twitter, and it speaks to the punishment for harming children. Said gif shows a man drowning and a millstone is hanged about his neck by a rope. The millstone is located toward the bottom of the frame, with a rope of above it, and the perpetrator has been pulled under headfirst. I believe it is going to go infinitely worse for those which abuse children - in particular for the Pedophile and/or the adult that beats up on kids. It does seem as though there is a broader application which could be applied though - to include the "adult" which encumbers a child via an ungodly education or anything "woke" which is contrary to the word of God. #Matthew18 #Jesus #Children

Theirs is not always pride. I am well aware. However, sometimes it is, and sometimes, there is a contingent of know-it-alls that love to toss terms around like Hematidrosis. I mean it sounds intelligent right? More than a few pastors include said term in their sermons which include Luke 2:44, but did Jesus really sweat great drops of blood?" In the Garden of Gethsemane? Of a surety, he would bleed profusely shortly thereafter. Would it minimize his agony however if he was sweating profusely as he prayed to God and our Father and his sweat contained no blood? Let's examine Luke 22:44 together, shall we? "And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his >sweat< was as it were (a great comparison) great drops of blood falling to the ground." (Luke 22:44) Most people think of Fiddler on the Roof and, "If I WERE a rich man, Yubby, dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum, If I were a wealthy man." (Indicating the vocalist was anything but a wealthy man." Jesus was in great agony, and the Christ weight of that which he was here for was grievous. That said, he did not sweat great drops of blood. All pastors and televangelists would do well to read God's word, sit down and be still. Furthermore, and if there was zero blood in Jesus' sweat that night, it would have in no way changed the immense amount of weight which would surely take place in the space of very little time. Between Jesus' reaching out to his Father in the garden and when he would breathe his last, there would be enough blood to go around. I would like to hear from you. Hit that reply button.
