Invicta

I don't agree with showing any visual representation of Christ, so I would not wish to see any film like that.

Those verses don't have any relevance to the local church. One body means all the church. Christ only has one body. One bride, one temple all of which mean The church. Jesus said he was building His Church, not his churches. 2 Corr 2:16 "You are the Temple of the living God." One temple.

Matthew 5:23-24 is for the Jewish law and nothing to do with churches. The altar was where the Jews brought their offerings, and nothing to do with altar calls which put pressure on people rather than relying on the call of the Holy Spirit who is the one who chooses a bride for Christ.

Candlesticks are identified as churches in the first chapter. Two being the lowest number of witnesses in the law. It refers to the minimum witness God had during the tribulation under the Roman "church ". Enough to keep a gospel witness in those dark days.

Independent Baptist churches don't have altars. They are for Catholics and similar churches.

I don't know what The Chosen is so I can't comment except to say that as far as I know, our church won't show any films, if that is what it is.

I am having Boeuf Bourguignon today (ready meal)

God uses nations to do what we call dictators to punish other nations, very often the israelites in the OT, There is a YouTube chanel entitled 1420, which goe, s out in Russia asking passers by questions such as what do you think of Putin? the Ukranians? etc. On a question of the What do you think of the West, 3 answered "They are all LGBT" one adding "They have 82 Genders," another said " They are Sodom." One of the two signs of what it would be like when he returned, was, "As in the days of Lot" David Cloud said, when many were campaigning for gay rights, "When homosexuals get rights, everbody else will lose theirs." There is a case in Malta where a man gave his testimony and said when he became a Christian he gave up his gay life, which was published online, he was arrested for promoting "Conversion therapy" which is illegal in that country. They are trying to get that law also in this country. It is not going to get any better, but will certainly get worse. This case was reported on the Christian Concern web site, the man in Malta has his court case on 3rd of this month.

The RCC has been trying to do that for centuries.

They are also two olive trees and two candlesticks so the whole thing must be symbolic.

When I was in the Brethren many years ago we were taught that nobody would be saved in the tribulation. Earlier in a book written in1836 , the author said that the church he had been in taught that for two and a half years the earth would be without a prophet or a preacher.

I have a colonoscopy procedure on Saturday so I on a restricted diet. I ha hama and cheese omelette for evening meal and a small chicken curry for lunch,

Lunchtime I did fish and chips and mushy peas. This evening I had home made bread with Ardennes paté followed by buttered crumpets. Watched USA and England match in the world cup. 0-0 draw. I actually only watched the first half.

It was May who introduced gay marriage into our country. Johnson was elected by a majority that wanted Brexit. He said he would get Brexit done. But we got Brexit in name only. We are still subject to the European courts. And many people want us to rejoin the EUSSR, or the 4th Reich. The Scotish Nationalists want independence so the can rejoin the EU, but if the do the won't be independent. Truss has come and gone and Sunak is likely to be our new PM. But I don't trust him.

For lunch we had omelette and fries,. I did toasted ham and tomato sandwich in my air fryer. It is an old air fryer, not one of those modern ones.

Today I am doing scampi and chips (fries, frites)

Today I did sausages and vegetables. To orrow I plan to do cous cous. I have a lot of vegetables to use so I will do enough for my daughter and family ext door. Isaidi don't have enough eat for everyone so I've said they will have to add their own meat. I usually add a small piece of lamb chicken and merguez sausage for each persn.

I did chicken in sage and onion gravy, roast potatoes steamed carrot, runner beans and broccoli. My wife had a veggie burger instead of chicken.

Today I made an experimental soup. Potato, spring onion, green garlic and wild garlic. It was surprisingly good.

i would't go to any church that had an egg hunt

My daughter has applied to have some Ukrainan refugees. She found that our neighbour is hosting a family. They put Mary in touch with the sister of the lady they are having. My daaughter has invited the Lady who is at present in a hotel in Italy, but has fo be out in about a week. It will be a woman and her 17 year old son, Thy are JWs which should be a challenge We had a visit ffrom the local authority earlier in the week, to see if the accommodation is sitable. They have to have a criminal Records check, but they probably won't need that as they have to have them for church as they work with children. She didn't mention us as we live in an annexe, but we have them from our previous church as we worked with old people and sometimes children.

Chipolatas with McCain Home Fries and watercress.

Yesterday I had Hot and Sour soup followed by lambs liver and, bacon and onions in gravy with mashed potato. Not sure what I am ha ing this evening. My wife has been on a strict diet for the last 2 days as she has an endoscopy tomorrow. As she is a vegetarian the only things she has been able to eat are eggs, cheese, white bread and peeled potatoes. From midday today she has not been allowed to eat anything.j

Lamb is expensive here as well. I usually buy leg steaks. They are about the same price as chops but without the bone so you get more meat for your money. They also do lamb rump steaks but they have a lot of fat on them. My daughter usually gets her meat from the local butcher shop and it is more expensive there. I get my groceries online now as I am no longer allowed to drive. The meat I got was diced lamb but is is very fatty. I don't use the same store each week. I use 3 or 4 different stores depending which ones have the best offer each week. We get our milk delivered from a local dairy farm and our eggs from the egg machine on a local poultry farm. My daughter is going there at the moment and I hope she is getting me some eggs. They only do 2 sizes, mixed weight in boxes of a dozen or trays of 30 or 6x30. They also do meat and apple pies all made locally and various other goodies.

I will be having a small steak, home fries and onion rings, tomorrow it will be slow cooked lamb bourguignon.
