Repentance

Matthew 4:12-17
12.   Now when Yahushua had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13.  And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:  14. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,  15. The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;  16.  The people which in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.  17. From that time Yahushua began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand

Repentance is the action of repenting, due to sincere regret or remorse, "each person who turns to Yahuwah in genuine repentance and faith will be saved".  On the other hand, 'Mea Culpa' which means "through my fault" in Latin, comes from a ritualistic prayer of confession used in the Catholic Church.  Said by itself, it's an exclamation of apology or remorse that is used to mean "It was my fault" or "I apologize,"  'Mea Culpa' is also a noun.  However, a newspaper might issue a 'mea culpa' for printing inaccurate information, or a politician might give a speech making mea culpa for past wrongdoings.  Mea Culpa is one of many English terms that derive from the Latin culpa, meaning "guilt."  Some other examples are culpable ("meriting condemnation or blame especially as wrong or harmful") and the culprit ("one guilty of a crime or a fault").

It is just with Yahuwah to take the gospel and the means of grace, from those that slight them and thrust them away.  Yeshua Ha Mashiach will not stay long where he is not welcome.  Those who are without Yeshua Ha Mashiach, are in the dark.  They are sitting in this condition, in a contented posture, they chose this state rather than light, they are willfully ignorant.  When the gospel comes, a light comes, when it comes to any place, when it comes to any soul, it makes daylight appear.  Light discovers and directs just as does the gospel.  The doctrine of repentance is correct gospel teaching.  Not only the austere John the Baptist but the gracious Yahushua preached willing repentance.  Today we still have the same reason to do so.  The kingdom of heaven was not be reckoned to have fully come, until the pouring out of Yahuwah's Holy Spirit.

Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

Those who are being persecuted for 'righteousness' sake are declared as happy.  Many will find mercy from Yahuwah, be owned by him as his children and inherit his kingdom.  With these hopes, we may cheerfully welcome low or painful circumstances.

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
