Pure water will kill you. You NEED specific minerals dissolved in your water.

Look up "The Water Book" for homebrewers written about a decade ago if you want to understand what "good" water actually is made of.

If i could make a short list of ubiquitous stuff I don't want my kids eating it would be this, and in this order:

1) Soy and flax anything

2) Artificial sweeteners, preservatives, flavorings, colorings & fortifications (e.g. enriched wheat)

3) Yellow prussiate of soda, anti-fungals and anti-yeasts (such as magnesium sulfate)

4) Oils high in alpha-lineolenic acid (but I repeat myself)

5) Any plant exposed to weed-killer (glyphysate)

6) Fluoridated or reverse-osmosis water

7) Hydrogenated oils

8) Shellfish, mussels, eels, pork and rodents (squirrel, raccoon, etx)

9) Wheat with bran and/or germ (whole wheat)

Yes, I know, you didn't ask

This note is general, not directly in response to you, but triggered by your response.

I feel like the lone voice in a storm of people telling me that I am wrong. Until somebody demonstrates to my satisfaction that I am wrong, I will continue believing that it is the storm of people who are wrong, and I will continue saying what I believe. I'm not moved by peer pressure. In fact I think exactly 0 people who I have interacted with agree with me (I could be wrong about that but I don't recall anyone being in clear agreement). I spent a lot of time on this issue because I keep hearing things that wildly contradict mountains of evidence that I've seen and in part studied for decades, much by people I either know or feel like I know. So you'll forgive me if I think that it is all of you anti-seed-oil-carnivore crowd that are the ones suckered into a narrative, rather than me being suckered into a mainstream narrative. That is how it feels from where I sit. This note offers no evidence or proof of anything, and nobody should change their minds based on this note or how I feel. This is just me expressing how it feels to be the only one, and yet still pretty darn certain of something. It doesn't feel good. That is why I don't want to argue the issue. And that is why people getting angry at my notes and expressing a desire to half-unfollow me really disturbs me.... you think YOU are bothered by MY notes?! C'mon on. I get your views in my face over and over from hundreds of accounts. I am just a whisper in reply. If you can't handle a lone whisper, maybe you should leave nostr for something more sheltered. I just want to drop a truth bomb every now and then that makes people stop and think... even if I'm wrong, making you stop and think is I think a valuable service.

I appreciate you provide an alternative view, and its one that I may have mistakenly interepreted as a variation on the historical mainstream view of inflamitory oils and phytonutrients. My point may reflect the direction the wind is currently flowing on this tooic, but to me it too is descenting from the mainstream and thereby I regard past research on the voodoo branch of science we know as nutrician the same as I regard the Trinity: A self-reinforcing delusion based on circular logic. Regardless, I appreciate you expanding my horizons with the aspect that the polar opposite may be equally likely.

Lets not get into wacky Jewish Talmudic doctrines. Its not a question of whether our Father, God the creator, has two or three heads. Its all ridiculous on its face. What is important is whether we have access to God, through Jesus Christ through faith that Christ is our Lord.

I primarily provide my analysis as evidence that my profession of faith isn't arbitrary or unfounded. I come from a heritage of trinitarianism and would never have dared believe anything different. It wasn't until I prayed to know the truth that it was revealed to me, and for this I am grateful, and I've found through this and other elucidations of scripture that a fuller, stronger and less confounding believing is possible.

I have been considering this a lot recently. What is the minimum requirement for salvation? I see a lot of gatekeeping on all sides of the discussion so I've been trying to get to the bottom of what the Bible says is necessary for salvation. Looking at examples of people in both the Old and New Testaments. Take Rahab for example, she basically only knew that God had been destroying other nations and she and her family were saved. In the New Testament we have examples like the Ethiopian eunuch who it says was taught starting in Isaiah about who the Christ is and what He did. And I keep coming back to 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 where Paul describes the Gospel as he proclaimed it to the Corinthians.

1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version, (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), 1 Co 15:1–11.

I think the conclusion that I have tentatively come to is that the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ is that we are dead in our sin with no hope, Jesus came and lived a perfect life, He was killed as a payment for our sin, and He rose again defeating death and giving us hope for the resurrection. Now there are other things besides these that I see as important, however I am currently reluctant to call someone an unbeliever so long as they hold to these foundational doctrines.

Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

I didn't want to get into that 8 days ago because reality is quite a radical departure from the mainstream Christian understanding. If God sent us, and we are God's sons, then we are gods. There is only one creator, there is only one father, there is only one begotten Son, and there is only one spirit of God within us, but as son's of God, we too are gods along with our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is not my experience. Today, food is the primary cause of inflammation, illness is the second. Chronic inflammation leads to allergies and disease including every leading cause of death: heart disease, cancer and brain deterioration. Yes, inflammatory response is necessary for health, but to say we need unhealthy foods to aid inflammation is quite a stretch.

I can't know for sure. Only God knows for sure, but since Jesus is God and you deny His deity it doesn't seem that could be saving faith. I will say, that decision is up to God, not me, so I could always be wrong.

In John 10:30 Jesus says "I and the Father are one.”

Sounds like Jesus is saying He is God.

John 14:7-9 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”

Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? "

Jesus says knowing Him is knowing the Father and if you have seen Him you have seen the Father. This can only be true if they are one.

Even back in Genesis there is reference to the trinitarian nature of God. Genesis 1:26a says, "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness" God refers to Himself in the plural. There are lots of other similar references.

John 10:32-38 "Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

In this passage the Jews accuse Jesus of "blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” Jesus does not deny being God. He says He does His miracles "so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” Jesus claimed to be God. If He isn't God, then He is guilty of blasphemy and can't save anyone. He doesn't allow people to think He is a good man, a prophet, or a teacher, but not God.

(John 1:1-4, 14-17) says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.... And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’ ” For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. "

Do you disagree that these verses are a description of Jesus? It says that He "was with God" and "was God" and that "All things came into being through Him." (aka He is creator) John the Baptist also refers to Jesus as God when he talks of His higher rank and that Jesus existed before John (Other gospels say John was physically born first).

I'm not trying to make you feel bad or win an argument for the sake of winning. I just think the Bible doesn't allow us to believe Jesus is anything less than our God and creator.

I do agree that some people do get very hateful with people who disagree. I definitely don't hate anyone that disagrees with me. I care about the truth and want to help others.

I don't think you can have a saving faith in God if you don't believe God is creator, but there are lots of people who believe God created using the big bang and directed evolution to create or believe in the gap theory or the day age theory. I believe all of those are totally contrary to God's word, but that doesn't make their proponents unbelievers. That is not a salvation issue. (If you want my scriptural and scientific arguments, I can give them later).

In the same way, there are lots of different beliefs regarding the end times with some believing in a literal millennial reign (like I do) and some believing we are living in the millennial period now. Some believe in pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib. Only one can be right (I believe scripture clearly supports the pre-trib view), but these are not salvation issues and there are plenty of good Christians who disagree with me.

I do think that a right view helps you to live the life God intends for you and a wrong view hurts your witness and leads you to bad choices, which is why I am so vocal, but I hope my disagreements are not taken as disrespectful. I am passionate about God. I am passionate about truth. I am passionate about faith. Sometimes my passion may come across badly. I try to speak the truth in love as commanded by the Bible, but like everyone, I'm fallible and make mistakes.

If I said that the Apostles creed fully communicates my faith, but a portion of the nicean creed does not, the the remainder does, how does this give you the knowledge that I am or am not saved?

1 Cor 12:3 KJV Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Joh 7:38 KJV He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Mat 16:15-17 KJV He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

The Tale of the Wayward Soul

Hark, my child, let wisdom be thy guide,

Hold firm my words, let them not slip aside.

Guard thou my counsel, as thou dost thy breath,

For these shall keep thee from an early death.

To wisdom say, "Thou art my kin,"

And to proven counsel, let thy heart be pinned.

They shield thee from temptation's snare,

From yearning cries that call for mother’s care.

Once, by my window’s frame I stood,

Where twilight blended with the wood.

A man did wander, slow of pace,

Through Simple Street, unmarked of grace.

He drifted as the restless breeze,

Unknowing, bound for miseries.

Soon met he her—of painted guise,

A glance that stirred and sealed his ties.

Her lips, they curled in whispered sin,

And thus, she drew the young man in.

Her voice was soft, like siren’s song,

And beckoned where no soul belongs.

"I’ve longed for thee, my bed is turned,

Come rest ‘til dawn, 'til birds have churned.

My husband’s gone, sent far away.

Come, fill your heart upon my clay."

She reached for him with gentle hand,

And led him to a broken land.

Like ox to slaughter, so he came,

Unknowing, heart wrapped in the flame.

Her house, a road to endless woe,

For many, wide-eyed, there did go.

What seemed so sweet bore bitter end,

A place where souls no more ascend.

So listen, child, and mark my plea:

Let wisdom guide thine eyes to see.

Keep thy feet from the snare-bound tree,

Lest thou be lost, and cease to be.

I'd argue that some doctrinal differences may be worthy of debate (because we always want to seek the truth not our personal preference), but some doctrinal differences make such a difference in what we believe that they are worth division.

Sadly, the deity of Christ is one of my "no compromise" doctrines. If you don't believe that Jesus is God, then you don't believe in the same God. If you don't believe He is God, you are denying your savior and creator and I believe you will be one of the people described in Matthew 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"

Some doctrines are critical to salvation and I believe the deity of Christ is one of them. Some doctrinal differences can have positive or negative influence based on whether they are truth or not, but do not influence whether we are a true, born-again Christian or not.

I want the best for you and am willing to spend time defending, using the Bible, the deity of Jesus and why it is so critical. I hope my disagreement will not cause you to withdraw and avoid contact. An honest debate can help us all to come to a greater understanding of the truth if we are all honestly seeking it.

I will pray that Jesus will reveal Himself to you.

I likewise believe the same of my understanding of scripture. Where I take issue is the ostracising and demonizing behavior of whose who would willingly move to a jungle and pay witness to a tribe of cannibals, but refuse to acknowledge someone among their own people who worship the same God (yes it is the same God) and who wish to respect their beliefs and engage in dialog on the subject only when prompted to.

The Tale of the Wayward Soul

My child, let wisdom be your guide,

Hold fast my words, letn't them slip aside.

Guard my lesson, as you guard your breath,

They will keep your soul from an early death.

Say to wisdom, “You are my kin,”

"Of proven advice, my heart be pinned."

They protect you from temptation’s snare,

From yearn that calls for mother's care.

Once I stood by window’s frame,

Looking out where night became.

A man walked slow, through Simple Street,

Un'ware of danger's path he beat.

He slid like a breeze, with no firm pace,

And soon he met her—a painted face.

With glance and a grin, she drew him in,

Clothed in whisper's promised sin.

Her voice cooed soft, with meaning deep,

Like a dream that pulls you to sleep.

“I’ve wanted you, my bed is turned,

Come, let us rustle 'til song of birds..

My husband’s gone; he’s far away,

Let’s fill our hearts upon the clay.”

She beckoned him with gentle hand,

And he followed her to trodden land.

Like a foul that finds a snare,

His heart was trapped, tho unaware.

Lead like an ox to butcher's door,

He knew not where his steps were tow'r.

Her house, a highway paved with regret,

Those who entered 'fore will not forget.

It seemed a sweet, but end was grim,

Many slain, wide eyed, like him.

So listen, child, do hear my plea:

Let wisdom guide your eyes to be.

Keep your feet far from that ground,

For this path will lead you down.

As a Christian, it's troubling that a single point of doctrinal disagreement, such as the deity of Christ, can lead to exclusion from participation in a group that shares the same foundational scriptures. Despite basing my beliefs on the same Bible, I'm often met with irrational reactions, cognitive dissonance, and even demonization, simply for expressing a differing interpretation. This rigid need for uniformity not only causes division but also undermines fellowship, despite the shared core of our faith. Why is it that one doctrinal difference can outweigh the greater unity we should have as followers of Christ? #biblestr

How do I avoid bloating up like a balloon for a week, no matter how much I try to flush out the salt, after eating a pack of oscar meyer beef hotdogs?

As a married man, I too, had my own Camilla and Marla. But I had the wisdom not to take the bait.

Pro 5:3-4 KJV For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

Every time I see an old lady dressed provocatively, I do a double-take, having to assume that it's actually a dude.

If you like a politician because he's an asshole but he's on "your side."

Just remember, no asshole is on your side.

Dude he just washed all the flavor down the drain 😱

After you take out your meat, add a half cup of water, dissolve the rue into rhe water by scraping the pan with a spatula and add a little butter if your meat didn't leave any behind. After it's reduced, pour it over your meat while its resting.

I'm not paranoid, I just know I am being monitored by multiple governments and think tanks

I had friends on facebook. The difference was public v.s. private. Facebook you couldntsee what other people were doing unless they followed you back, to give you permission to see their photos and such. It was basically like email, your timeline was a summary of your contact's activity. Twitter was so foreign to me by "everything is public" that it blew my mind.
