    May as well shop, it's certainly not His birthday.
    "The one who says he stays in Him is indebted to walk, even as He walked." 1Jn 2:6

    Without Torah, His walk is impossible - it's Rome's walk without Torah.

    It's a little early to be posting this. The man is Mike Duncan, this piece is from his award winning podcast "The History of Rome". It's the history of the Roman Empire, from the legend of Aeneas after the sack of Troy making his way to the Italian peninsula up to Odoacer sending the last Western Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, into exile in Campania. There's 179 episodes, total running time of 74 hours. Well worth the time. And they're totally free to download.

    Here the story starts:

    I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.

    People with ethics have little use for the state. Conversely, the state has little use for people with ethics.

    i think that any reference to Jesus is a good thing in our present state of social and moral decay.

    Jeremiah 10King James Version (KJV)

    10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
    2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
    3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
    4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
    5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
    6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
    7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
    8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

    To accept or extort.............
    Its easy to see why some Christians don't accept Christmas as a Holiday but most of them have no trouble getting caught up in the consumerism that has overtaken the day.

    Christmass came early
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    “As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
