Do Not Correct A Fool

-
Proverbs 23:9
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Here is another case in which "sweet words" are lost.  Speak not in the ears of a fool.  This does not mean, as it would in our English phrase - whisper not to a fool, but do not take the trouble to try to make him understand, impart nothing to him.  The "fool" here is the dull, stolid, stupid man, who cannot be moved from his own narrow groove.  It is a mere casting of pearls before swine to speak to such a man of high aims, righteous motives, self-sacrifice.  He will despise the wisdom of thy words.  He cannot enter into the meaning of words of wisdom.  He has no appetite for them, he cannot assimilate them and in his self-satisfied dullness, he feels for them nothing but contempt.   "Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.  He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber, whey he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?"

Yahuwah's restraint of the appetite of those not inclined towards him is evident.  Do thyself no harm.  Be not of those that will be rich.  The things of this world are not happiness and a portion of a soul, those that hold them ever so fast, cannot hold them always, cannot hold them long.  Do not make thyself burdensome to any, especially those not sincere.  When we are called by Yahuwah to his feast, and to let our souls delight themselves, we may safely partake of the Bread of life.  It is our duty to take all fit occasions to speak of Divine things, but if what a wise man says will not be heard, let him hold his peace.  The fatherless are taken under Yahuwah's special protection.  He is their Redeemer, who will take their part and he is mighty, almighty.

The concept, "Speak not in the ears of a fool", for it is only beating the air and speaking to the wind, it is as casting pearls before swine and that which is holy to dogs.  By the expression or word "fool" is meant to describe a wicked man, one abandoned to sin and hardened in it, that scoffs at all admonitions and reproofs, that derides the word and the preachers of it and makes a mockery of all men of goodness, everything they say, therefore what is serious and sacred, which should not be said to them due to their response revealing the condition of their heart.  Since it only becomes the object of their banter and ridicule no one should be surprised by their reaction.

For he will despise the wisdom of thy words, not only the words of doctrine, reproof and correction but the "wisdom" of them, no matter be they ever so wisely spoken.  For if the wisdom of Yahuwah and his words, the truths of the Gospel, are foolishness with such and despised by them.  Then much more the wisdom even of the best of men, and the wisest things they say, yea, when they deliver the wisdom of Yahuwah in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, the Gospel of Yahushua, which therefore should be spoken among them that are perfect.

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

12 Signs Showing You Are Dealing With An Evil Person

-
Depravity is a pervasive factor of modern day survival. Sadly, at times after much effort, we are forced to recognize that the only remedial endeavour available, is from a distance. Evil is defined as the absence of good. Every person has different definitions of evil and goodness. However, in many cases, true evil is very hard to recognize especially for people who always try to find something good in others. We can not ignore that there are truly evil people around us and we need to learn how to notice the signals that show us when someone means nothing else but to harm us. 1. Reality Denial Regardless of how obvious the truth is these people will always deny it. Their truth is the only that matters even though it is the complete opposite of the reality. Their truth is actually a reflection of their wicked, unhealthy thoughts and ideas. 2. Fact Twisting These people are incredible manipulators. They are able to twist any fact that they do not want to accept. They possess the ability

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
