Reasoning With Help

-
To reasoned with someone is to try to persuade to do something by explaining why you think it is sensible.  However, we might often find that we can only impart information, with a view of letting them decide for themselves.  Especially when it comes to spiritual matters, because the figurative heart is involved.

Isaiah 1:18-19
"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool. "If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;

1 Corinthians 1:18-28
  1. For the message of the cross [christ] is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 
  2. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
  3. Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world
  4. For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 
  5. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 
  6. but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 
  7. but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 
  8. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
  9. Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 
  10. But God chose the foolishthings of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 
  11. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,

Ephesians 1:17-21
  1. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 
  2. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
  3. and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
  4. he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
  5. far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

What is GMO?

-
A GMO , or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods (also called gene splicing), gene modification or transgenic technology.  This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.  Genetic modification affects many of the products we consume on a daily basis.  As the number of GMOs available for commercial use grows every year, the Non-GMO Project works diligently to provide the most accurate, up-to-date standards for non-GMO verification. In order for a product to be Non-GMO Project Verified, its inputs must be evaluated for compliance with our standard, which categorizes inputs into three risk levels. High Risk The input is derived from, contains derivatives of, or is produced through a process involving organisms that are known to be gen

The Loyalty Oath of the Nazi Army and SS troops

-
Each member of the German armed forces (Wehrmacht) swore an oath of personal allegiance to Adolf Hitler -- and not to the constitution.  This oath went into effect on 2 August 1934, the day that Reich President Paul von Hindenberg died, and Hitler immediately consolidated the offices of president and chancellor. "It is significant that there is an oath to support and defend the Constitution and not an individual leader, ruler, office, or entity.  This is true for the simple reason that the Constitution is based on lasting principles of sound government that provide balance, stability, and consistency through time." The FBI's oath of office reads : I [name] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will we

Tarka Dal

-
Lately, lentils have become a tasty staple in my diet. Low in calories and high in nutrition, lentils are the perfect legume to eat in the summer in salads, spreads, for crudité and crackers, and as an item on a vegetarian dinner plate. Some like to always gravitate towards foods that are easy to cook, and lentils are a hassle-free compliment to any meal. Nutty and earthy in flavour, lentils have a high nutritional value that anyone can benefit from by incorporating this healthy legume into their diet. A meal at home is rarely fulfilling if a ladleful, or more, of dal, is not served. It’s one of the most adaptable ingredients in an Indian kitchen. Take any one dal, the masoor dal for instance, and you can find at least five ways to cook it. And that too is seriously underestimation. Ingredients 250g/9oz chana dal (yellow dried split peas), rinsed until the water runs clear 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp cumin seeds 1 small onion, chopped 3-4 whole
