"Long Form Notes" are different, and many clients will not even show them. I think it is best to post a short note with the subject and a link to the long form content, but link to a client that will display it. Also, good clients will 'render' markdown so you can ensure your article will look right in any 'good client'.
example: (I'm no expert so my links may not work) ... but your article as a link to coracle below. Notice formatting is pretty much gone becuse you probably did not use markdown.
or a link to njump:
Anyone can just copy paste the naddr part to the client they want to use if their client is worth using.
In my opinion, long form clients should render comments on the long form posts but they don't. Coracle does this. njump does not. Hats off to hodlbod for a good client.
For a great example of long form content that has markdown formatting see this article about key managment, a topic that still is not resolved.
Small freedoms, like being employed. Like being tested by haveing a stick crammed so far up your nose it touches your brain. People are not going to forget any time soon.

v13 has been so great. This list for v14 is eye popping.
I usually build gossip but v13 I just ran your relase (.deb) and it has been excellent.
the ratio of bots to humans sure seems to be going up on nostr
"You believe some story that is told blindly"
I tend to be a little harsh in my comments for sure, but this is so funny, because nobody told me the 'story' I related. It is what I see happening. Orchistrated by agreeably a small number of actors. The police at publicised events were instructed to stand down to the point of allowing vandalism and arson. Politicians supported this, ranking officers and administrators enabled it, and the legacy media glorified it.
My reply was not really about you, rather a quip to contrast the well curated public narrative that prevails due to censorship and outright manipulation of the populace.
There is definately some police misconduct, and there is definately racism out there, but the 'movement' is an orchistrated, choreographed and curated evil.
My apologies for the quip in my response. fin.
"The black lives matter movement is not built on individual mistreating other individuals."
While there are cases of this police abuse happening, the so called movement where mobs burn stuff and riot and take over city streets is orchistrated by globalist elites with an agenda of replacing dedicated police with diversity hires. In the long game, they are removing the people who support the rule of law, and installing mindless leftist drones as police and authorities, as they have similarly done thorughout the US in academia, medical science, government services... the list goes on.
Try some reasoning. It might actually free your mind.
I truly appreciate the points you made in this post. My reply was really just to say that teachers need to be careful to teach from the word, and not from men's wisdome, whether the teacher is male or female. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Can you share how you discern 1Timothy2:11-15. It reads pretty clear, but I have always thought it odd that Paul says "I do not permit...". Paul said something similar in 1Corinthians 7:10-11 speaking about married people saying "I give instructions, yet not I but the lord" and then in verse 12 he says "...But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord..."
At any rate... James tells us:
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
-James 3:1
I could not and will not teach the doctrine of the churches, because it is filled with error.
The real teacher is the holy spirit anyway... -1Corinthians 2:11-13
Most Devs are un-concerned becuase most 'users' don't care and will trust what-ever.
I think we need a really simple, low level application for this that is easily validated, compiled and run on any os. Trusting browser extensions will never pass for me, I would rather trust buggy clients.
My mind keeps chewing on these verses in Jeremiah. Maybe I can’t get it out of my head because it seems so contrary to everything I have believed regarding to prayer.
> “As for you, **do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you**. Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and *they* pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me. Do they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves *they spite,* to their own shame?” (Jeremiah 7:16-19) {emphasis mine}
Before continuing with this article, make sure you have read [What? Do Not Pray For ...](https://trustjesus.substack.com/p/what-do-not-pray-for), so you have my background thoughts on this passage.
After writing the first post, I began thinking about how this verse applies to American Christians today in my post A Hard Question With an Uncomfortable Answer. In my first two articles, I basically came to the conclusion that we should not pray blessings on those who were sinning and rejecting God, but that praying for repentance and turning back to God would be an allowed and even honored prayer. Then today, while listening to a sermon from Revelation, I thought, “Is there a time we are called to not pray for someone or some nation because God has given them their choice and He is no longer calling them to Himself?”
## When God Hardens a Heart
There are a lot of verses where God says that he hardened their heart. The most well known is regarding the hardened heart of the Egyptian Pharaoh in Exodus where we read a succession of verses about a hardened heart:
First Pharaoh hardens his own heart:
> But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, **he hardened his heart** and did not listen to them, as the Lord had said. (Exodus 8:15) {emphasis mine}
then he hardens his heart again:
> But **Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also**, and he did not let the people go. (Exodus 8:32) {emphasis mine}
then he hardened his heart and his servants hearts:
> But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, **he sinned again and hardened his heart, he and his servants**. (Exodus 9:34) {emphasis mine}
then God hardens Pharaoh’s heart:
> Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for **I have hardened his heart** and the heart of his servants, **that I may perform these signs of Mine** among them, (Exodus 10:1) {emphasis mine}
God didn’t harden Pharaoh’s heart initially, but after repeated choices by Pharaoh, God gave Pharaoh the hardened heart he chose. Also, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart in order to perform signs that He wanted to perform to show Himself to the Israelites and the Egyptians. He did it to fulfill His will and His plan.
Once God chose to harden Pharaoh’s heart, would it be praying according to God’s will to ask that Pharaoh repent? As uncomfortable as this makes me, I don’t think it would be praying according to God’s will to pray for repentance for Pharaoh.
## When God Declares His Judgment
In Jeremiah 27, God has stated that Babylon will conquer Judah, take away the people, and take the golden implements from the Temple. He says that those who want to live must submit to Babylon. This is God’s will. Many supposed prophets were prophesying that Babylon will not capture Judah and then after Judah was conquered, that they would be brought back after 2 years contrary to God’s will and declaration of 70 years of captivity.
> Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon’; for they are prophesying a lie to you. Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city become a ruin? But if they are prophets, and **if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now entreat the Lord of hosts** that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon. (Jeremiah 27:16-18) {emphasis mine}
Regarding these so-called prophets, God says, “*if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now entreat the Lord of hosts*.” This sounds like they should pray thus only if “*the word of the Lord is with them*,” or basically if they are praying according to God’s will. Conversely, since the passage makes clear these “prophets” are not speaking God’s word, nor supporting God’s will, then God should not be entreated (asked in prayer) to act contrary to His will.
## When God Gives Them Over to Their Sin
Similarly, in the New Testament it says of God:
> For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and **their foolish heart was darkened**. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
>
> Therefore **God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts** to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
>
> For this reason **God gave them over to degrading passions**; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
>
> And **just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind**, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1:21-32) {emphasis mine}
There seems to come a point at which people have rebelled against God and His ordinances for so long that God gives them over to the desire of their hearts and the consequences of their actions.
## Does This Mean We Are Not To Pray At All?
Is there a point at which God doesn’t want us to pray for their repentance? I’m not willing to say “definitely,” but it kind of looks like that may be the case. I don’t think this is a common situation that we need to be worried about. In most cases, even with very evil people who have done us great harm, we are definitely called to pray for their repentance and salvation. “*But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you*.” (Matthew 5:44) Still, there may be situations where God says, “I have given them over to the lusts and rebellion of their heart to the destruction of their soul.” There may be situations where a person or a nation has to be punished to fulfill God’s good plan. Praying against His will and plan would be fighting against God and not praying in alignment with His will.
In Ezekiel chapter 3, the passage is talking specifically about sharing God’s word and being a watchman to the people rather than specifically regarding prayer, but I think this verse is still helpful in determining God’s will for our prayers.
> Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house. (Ezekiel 3:26)
In this occasion, God has given Ezekiel the role of watchman and warned him that he will be held accountable for warning the people, but their decision to obey is on their own heads. Then God tells Ezekiel that He will “*make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them*.” I believe if God doesn’t want us to pray for someone or something and if we are seeking His will, He will make us mute so we cannot pray for them. Why would He do this? Either because the person, group, or nation are rebellious and/or because the prayer is contrary to His will. I believe God will help His devoted followers to pray according to His will.
I am still fleshing out this idea in my mind and trying to seek the truth. Let me know how you interpret these verses or especially if you have other verses that clarify this matter. I am trying to seek the truth.
I also want to be very careful with this idea. We are much more likely to NOT pray for repentance and salvation for people that we should be praying for than we are to pray for someone for whom we shouldn’t pray. I definitely don’t want anyone to use this post as an excuse to not pray for people or nations.
May our God and Creator guide us and use us for His good purpose and according to His will. May He guide our prayers in perfect alignment with His will and may He draw us closer to Him every day.
Trust Jesus
I enjoyed reading this. I must have missed the prior related articles. A couple of things stand out for me.
"...I believe if God doesn’t want us to pray for someone or something and if we are seeking His will, He will make us mute so we cannot pray for them."
I am sure that God certainly can do this, but really we are able to reason on who to pray for, and where to plant our seeds of the good news. throwing pearls to swine comes to mind. Matt 7:6 And Christ even said "...If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." -john 20:23
There is a huge difference when people are repentent, or if they are simply ignorant and do not know right and wrong. Jesus said to forgive your (repentent) brother 77 times. -Matt 18:22. And yet there is a difference when someone who knows better tramples on the holy spirit of God, as Christ said “On this account I say to YOU, Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. -Matt 12:31. This is in relation to the second death -rev 2:11 or gehenna -Matt 5-22, that is not the hell they teach in most of the churches.
Another part that stood out for me:
"...He says that those who want to live must submit to Babylon."
And at that time, God said not to go down to egypt. I find that falling away to Babylon and steering clear of egypt have prophetic meaning for our time.
Appreciate your writting and sharing as you seek the truth. We should all do this.
Your magnetic and tech talk strikes me as much the way astrologers of old saw and read the universe. We are mostly in agreement, I just try to steer clear of the magic practicers and idol worshipers. Astrology may have some accuracy, and technology is based on facts, yet we know very little.
This comes to mind:
"...For at present we see in hazy outline by means of a metal mirror, but then it will be face to face. At present I know partially, but then I shall know accurately..." - 1 Corinthians 13:12
Angels definately had the ability to take on human form before the flood. That power would appear to be limited post flood, and for good reason. Yet, God is alive, and will send his power where he wants to.
Still, taking human form is not necessary to rebuke the nations.
"Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so they did not blow on the earth or the sea, or even on any tree." - Rev 7:1
Dispite the efforts or total lack of any by men, (read religious leaders) that result in perverting the word of God, The bible is whole. The word has been preserved to the golory of God. That, my friend is the good news.
"...and that's even without the possibility of promises written in some old books being fulfilled..."
Until the people acknowlegde the power of God and the one worthy King Jesus Christ, their governments will wrek everything around them with impunity. Your gold and your silver, and your bitcoin will not save you. Good luck being (poor) idol worshipers.
Incredible resources. I hope readers can appreciate this. Not too long ago one had to buy expensive books to get concordances not even 1/10th as good.
