The Reluctant Brothers Who Didn't Believe

As we’ve been talking about eyewitnesses around the life of Jesus, there is a small group that bears consideration. Think about his own brothers. They saw him every day growing up, and knew him well. The few glimpses we get of them suggest that they had concerns about their eldest brother. Mark 3:21 says that as Jesus’ ministry began to draw crowds, “[his family] went to take charge of him, for…

About Mary&George, there's something really important to understand about king James's attitude.

James VI and I was deepley traumatized because he had a shitty and traumatic childhood, something who affected him for all his life.

The first trauma happened when he wasn't even born!!!

9th march 1566, queen Mary's secretary, the Italian Davide Rizzio ( or Riccio ) was stabbed 57 times by plotters, he tried to save himself hiding behind the queen but it doesn't work.

Mary was deeply traumatized for this not only per sè but for an other motive. She was six moth pregnant and lord Ruthven pointed his sword against his belly and threated to cut her "in pieces". Yes, James was not even born, it was said that he was afraid of swords 'cause this.

when he was 8 months his father was killed, by the man who became his stepfather, his mother was innocent

The 24 april 1567 he saw for the last time his mother, queen Mary Stuart was abducted, imprisoned and raped by james Hepbun lord bothwell. Yes, I know for someone Mary/Bothwell are a very romantic love story but let's be clear. it was a toxic relationship

Two moths later his mother is forced to amrry Bothwell 'cause she's pregnant, with twins, and after a short civil war she's imprisoned by the queen Elizabeth

James is crowned king at 13 months and the regency is on his half uncle, lord James Moray

James Moray was killed in 1570

The the regenty become yhe king's granfather: Matthew Lennox

Matthew Lennox was killed when James was 5, and it's very gory: the consipirator stab him in front of the child, Lennox tried to save himself behind his king, and grandchild but he was taken away by force, then his body, baraly alive, was take near a window and throw away.... ALL OF THIS in front a 5 year child

James was physically abused by his tutor George Buchanan, a puritan fanatic who hates monarchy and beat his pupil nearly every day. James will be one of the most cultured king but he the trauma never left him, one day when he was already king of England he met an old man who looks like Buchanan and he started to tremble.

He said about his tutor "I learned Latin before English", Buchanan also lied about queen Mary's involment in the Darley's death

when he was 13 he met hsi father's cousin, Esmé Stuart and he fall in love with him. Esmé is 39, he's catholic and French so after one year he is forced toi exil but he helps James to start to debunk some things about his mother

when he was 14 he was abucted for an year and nearly killed

It could be end very bad, with James become a psycho but luckly he become a very traumatized man who seek affection from everyone, he came out at 13 so... Esmé, John, Philip, Richard, Robert and then George, he always tried to recreate the relationship between him and Esmé.

and that's all folks

I Waited Patiently for the LORD

1 I waited, waited for יהוה; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.

2 And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.

3 Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Elohim; Many do see it and fear, And trust in יהוה.

4 Blessed is that man who has made יהוה his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood.

5 O יהוה my Elohim, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.

6 Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for.

7 Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me.

8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my hearta.”

9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O יהוה, You know.

10 I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your kindness and Your truth From the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O יהוה; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me.

12 For evils without number have surrounded me; My crookednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.

13 Be pleased, O יהוה, to deliver me; O יהוה, hasten to help me!

14 Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame.

15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” Be appalled at their own shame.

16 Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “יהוה be exalted!”

17 But I am poor and needy; Let יהוה think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Elohim, do not delay! — Psalm 40 | The Scriptures 1998 (ISR 1998) The Scriptures 1998 Copyright © 1998 Institute for Scripture Research. All Rights reserved.

Jesus Christ and eleven apostles seated on the floor around a low table

---------------

Jesus observed the sacred holiday of Passover with His Apostles. He instituted the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, in which His disciples were invited to eat and drink in remembrance of Him. He taught them of the comforting power of the Holy Ghost. And knowing that His time with them would soon end, He commanded them to “love one another” as He had loved them (John 13:34–35). That love, He said, would be a sign to others that they were His disciples. His Apostles had come such a long way since they first encountered Jesus, and yet His words showed He knew their transformation into true disciples was just beginning.

After what is often referred to as the Last Supper, Jesus asked His Apostles to follow Him through the night to a quiet garden named Gethsemane. Despite their Master asking them to stay awake with Him, the exhausted disciples fell asleep. Alone, Jesus began to pray and was soon overcome with incomprehensible agony. There in the garden, He began the process of taking upon Himself the sins and pains of the world. It was the beginning of an act of sacrifice that would reach its conclusion the next day on the cross at Golgotha.

Later that night, Judas Iscariot betrayed the Savior to local authorities, who arrested Jesus and brought Him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest. There, Jesus would await His trial until the next morning.

Russell M. Nelson has repeatedly invited us to come closer to Christ through the process of repentance, made possible through Jesus’s suffering and Atonement:

Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to our individual progression than is a regular, daily focus on repentance. Repentance is not an event; it is a process. It is the key to happiness and peace of mind. When coupled with faith, repentance opens our access to the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 80, 81, and 82. Genesis 38:11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Stay as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up"--for he thought, "He too might die like his brothers." So Tamar went to live in her father's house Genesis 38:12 A long time afterward, Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. When his period of mourning was over, Judah went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, together with his friend Hirah the Adullamite. Genesis 38:13 And Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is coming up to Timnah for the sheepshearing." Genesis 38:14 So she took off her widow's garb, covered her face with a veil, and wrapping herself up, sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, yet she had not been given to him as wife. Genesis 38:15 When Judah saw her, he took her for a harlot; for she had covered her face. Genesis 38:16 So he turned aside to her by the road and said, "Here, let me sleep with you"--for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. "What," she asked, "will you pay for sleeping with me?" Genesis 38:17 He replied, "I will send a kid from my flock." But she said, "You must leave a pledge until you have sent it." Genesis 38:18 And he said, "What pledge shall I give you?" She replied, "Your seal and cord, and the staff which you carry." So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she conceived by him. Genesis 38:19 Then she went on her way. She took off her veil and again put on her widow's garb. Genesis 38:20 Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite, to redeem the pledge from the woman; but he could not find her. Genesis 38:21 He inquired of the people of that town, "Where is the cult prostitute, the one at Enaim, by the road?" But they said, "There has been no prostitute here." Genesis 38:22 So he returned to Judah and said, "I could not find her; moreover, the townspeople said: There has been no prostitute here." Genesis 38:23 Judah said, "Let her keep them, lest we become a laughingstock. I did send her this kid, but you did not find her." Genesis 38:24 About three months later, Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot; in fact, she is with child by harlotry." "Bring her out," said Judah, "and let her be burned." Genesis 38:25 As she was being brought out, she sent this message to her father-in-law, "I am with child by the man to whom these belong." And she added, "Examine these: whose seal and cord and staff are these?" Genesis 38:26 Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more in the right than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he was not intimate with her again. Genesis 38:27 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb! Genesis 38:28 While she was in labor, one of them put out his hand, and the midwife tied a crimson thread on that hand, to signify: "This one came out first. Genesis 38:29 But just then he drew back his hand, and out came his brother; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he was named Perez. Genesis 38:30 Afterward his brother came out, on whose hand was the crimson thread; he was named Zerah.

President Joe Biden is kinda debating Dumb Dishonest Dementia Diarrhea Dentures connie j. chump about Women's Rights vs. State's Rights; but to further clarify the underlying issue, it's about global human rights and the American dream of American human and civil rights for all that results in American hopes, dreams, and prosperity; and, unfortunately, 81% of Republican men and women believe, and have been conditioned to believe, that American women aren't even human-they're subhuman-and they deserve to be thought of and treated accordingly.

The gender ratio in the United States in 2024 will be 98.016 males per 100 females. There are 169,169,269, or 169.17 million males and 172,645,152, or 172.65 million females in the US. The percentage of the female population is 50.51 percent, compared to 49.49 percent of the male population. (StatisticsTimes.com)

To recap, 81% of Republican men and women (29% of the United States population) believes that 50.51% of the U.S. population (172,645,152 American women and girls) aren't even human and aren't worthy of being thought of, and treated as if, they were real human beings who deserve human and civil rights equal to that of Republican men and boys (approximately 49,057,547 Americans). And so what's on the ballot this 2024 U.S. elections season is 172,645,152 American women and girls, and all American men and boys who support them, demanding that ALL American women and girls have equal human and civil rights to the approximately 49,057,547 American men and boys who believe that ALL American women and girls exist only to serve them as domestic and financial abuse and rape and incest victims, domestic slaves, and sex slaves from birth until death…forever…; and those anti-American and anti-female Republican men and boys are actively trying to end and destroy the U.S. Constitution, American democracy and the American republic if that's what it takes to permanently abuse and enslave all American women and girls; but those Republican males are losing that war and they'll continue to lose it indefinitely.

THIS is how American Christian men are SUPPOSED to be improving American Christian birth rates EVERY Friday night to Saturday night…

Welcoming Shabbat Jewish woman reciting blessing over Shabbat candles The Hebrew poem, "The Woman of Valor" (Proverbs 31:10-31) is a traditional Shabbat song

Honoring Shabbat (kavod Shabbat) on Preparation Day (Friday) includes bathing, having a haircut and cleaning and beautifying the home (with flowers, for example). Days in the Jewish calendar start at nightfall, therefore many Jewish holidays begin at such time. According to Jewish law, Shabbat starts a few minutes before sunset. Candles are lit at this time. It is customary in many communities to light the candles 18 minutes before sundown (tosefet Shabbat, although sometimes 36 minutes), and most printed Jewish calendars adhere to this custom.

The Kabbalat Shabbat service is a prayer service welcoming the arrival of Shabbat. Before Friday night dinner, it is customary to sing two songs, one "greeting" two Shabbat angels into the house ("Shalom Aleichem" -"Peace Be Upon You") and the other praising the woman of the house for all the work she has done over the past week ("Eshet Ḥayil" -"Women Of Valor"). After blessings over the wine and challah, a festive meal is served. Singing is traditional at Sabbath meals. In modern times, many composers have written sacred music for use during the Kabbalat Shabbat observance, including Robert Strassburg and Samuel Adler.

Many Jews attend synagogue services on Shabbat even if they do not do so during the week. Services are held on Shabbat eve (Friday night), Shabbat morning (Saturday morning), and late Shabbat afternoon (Saturday afternoon).

Honoring Shabbat (kavod Shabbat): on Shabbat, wearing festive clothing and refraining from unpleasant conversation. It is customary to avoid talking on Shabbat about money, business matters, or secular things that one might discuss during the week.

Enjoying Shabbat (oneg Shabbat): Engaging in pleasurable activities such as eating, singing, sleeping, spending time with the family, and marital relations. Sometimes referred to as "Shabbating".

Ending Shabbat Havdalah (Hebrew: הַבְדָּלָה, "separation") is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat, and ushers in the new week. At the conclusion of Shabbat at nightfall, after the appearance of three stars in the sky, the havdalah blessings are recited over a cup of wine, and with the use of fragrant spices and a candle, usually braided. Some communities delay havdalah later into the night in order to prolong Shabbat. There are different customs regarding how much time one should wait after the stars have surfaced until the sabbath technically ends. Some people hold by 72 minutes later and other hold longer and shorter than that. (Wikipedia)

Sadistic Self-Persecution and Masochistic Self-Abuse: American Christians can't complain about any perceived "decline" in American Christianity or American Christian birth rates when they observe Easter every year, and then curse 5 generations of their family tree EVERY WEEK by profaning Jesus Christ's sabbath of salvation and redemption EVERY SUNDAY.

If those 49,057,547 Republican men and boys want to make babies so badly, if ANY of them are actually Christians (followers of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ), then they're required to keep Jesus Christ's sabbath of salvation and redemption holy every Friday night to Saturday night and honor and cherish all of the contributions any and all women in their lives are making to their lives every week. If those 49,057,547 Republican men and boys honestly believe that Jesus Christ and the scriptures He lived, died, and resurrected to validate actually support incestuous pedophilia, grooming, rape, the rape and forced impregnation of married women, domestic and financial abuse, permanent dehumanizing domestic and sex slavery, and imprisoning and killing any and all American women and girls who'd resist all of that, then they're clearly not Christians. Any sane and intelligent individual knows that building and maintaining a strong relationship goes a lot further to encouraging a woman to want to make and raise babies with a man than all of that Republican anti-female, anti-Christ, anti-human MAGA Nazi abuse, slavery, imprisonment, and death penalty idiocy. The Republican 2024 U.S. elections message is crystal clear: American women and girls will either submit to being dehumanized, abused, raped, impregnated, enslaved, imprisoned and killed by Republican men and boys indefinitely, or they can vote for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris; and Republicans aapear to have every intention of making that choice extraordinarily clear and simple from now until November 5th.

[diana9241livejournalcom]

I don’t know if you answered this question but can you give me a full run down of King James’s back story? I wanna know all the good and bad shit that’s happened to him because he seems interesting 😭

Yes, I already did a post like that, here, but basically here we are:

9th march 1566, queen Mary’s secretary, the Italian Davide Rizzio ( or Riccio ) was stabbed 57 times by plotters, he tried to save himself hiding behind the queen but it doesn’t work.

Mary was deeply traumatized for this not only per sè but for an other motive. She was six moth pregnant and lord Ruthven pointed his sword against her belly and threated to cut her “in pieces”. Yes, James was not even born, it was said that he was afraid of swords ‘cause this.

when he was 8 months his father was killed, by the man who became his stepfather, his mother was innocent

The 24 april 1567 he saw for the last time his mother, queen Mary Stuart was abducted, imprisoned and raped by James Hepbun lord Bothwell. Yes, I know, for someone Mary/Bothwell is a very romantic love story but let’s be clear: it was a toxic relationship

Two moths later his mother was forced to marry Bothwell 'cause she’s pregnant, with twins, and after a short civil war she’s imprisoned by the queen Elizabeth

James was crowned king at 13 months and the regency was on his half uncle, lord James Moray

James Moray was killed in 1570

The the regent become the king’s granfather: Matthew Lennox

Matthew Lennox was killed when James was 5, and it’s very gory: the consipirator stabbed him in front of the child, Lennox tried to save himself behind his king, and grandchild but he was taken away by force, then his body, baraly alive, was take near a window and throw away…. ALL OF THIS in front a 5 year child

James was physically abused by his tutor George Buchanan, a puritan fanatic who hates monarchy and beaten his pupil nearly every day. James will be one of the most cultured king but he the trauma never left him, one day when he was already king of England he met an old man who looks like Buchanan and he started to tremble.

He said about his tutor “I learned Latin before English”, Buchanan also lied about queen Mary’s involment in the Darley’s death

when he was 13 he met his father’s cousin, Esmé Stuart and he fall in love with him. Esmé was 39, he’s catholic and French so after one year he was forced to exil but he helped James to start to debunk some things about his mother

when he was 14 he was abucted for an year and nearly killed

when he was 15 he executed the last noble who was involved in his father's death

Loving Discipline and Knowledge

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. 2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns. 3 A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved. 4 A good wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are treacherous. 6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers men. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. 8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of perverse mind is despised. 9 Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread. 10 A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. 11 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense. 12 The strong tower of the wicked comes to ruin, but the root of the righteous stands firm. 13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble. 14 From the fruit of his words a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. 16 The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent man ignores an insult. 17 He who speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. 18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips endure for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan good have joy. 21 No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble. 22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. 23 A prudent man conceals his knowledge, but fools proclaim their folly. 24 The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor. 25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. 26 A righteous man turns away from evil, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27 A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth. 28 In the path of righteousness is life, but the way of error leads to death. — Proverbs 12 | Revised Standard Version (RSV) Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyright © 1946, 1952, and 1971 the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
