The Wise Man, The Hypocrite The Truth
Matthew 19:3-9 KJV
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? (4) And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (7) They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? (8) He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (9) And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Mark 10:1-9 KJV
And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. (2) And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. (3) And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? (4) And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. (5) And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. (6) But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (7) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. (9) What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Genesis 1:26-28 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Romans 1:18-32 KJV
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: (32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Well Friends here we go again. It seems we can no more work our way through one of the issues Jesus teaches above until our current leader drags us through the proverbial mud so to speak on another. It needs to be said that although political pundits and politicians stress things like the economy, jobs, deficits and so forth over social issues we must turn back to the word of the Lord to understand that how we approach the issues God would have us to know (social issues) determines the severity of all the former issues above. Once again we are going to tear this matter apart with scripture.
The phrase male and female appears 7 times in the Bible. Although it may not seem much to talk about if you are a believer the number 7 is associated to perfection with God.
The Begining
Genesis 1:27 KJV So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

(19) And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Genesis 7:15-16 KJV

Removal of Unclean Persons out of the CampNumbers 5:1-4 KJV
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (2) Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: (3) Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. (4) And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
The passages of Jesus from earlier
Matthew 19:4-6 KJV
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark 10:5-9 KJV
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. (6) But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (7) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. (9) What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
So what does our illustrious leadership of our nation decide is best for the common cause? Well let’s take our regular journeys through the word of God to get the truth.

Well here we go again. Let’s just get to the point
Just so there are no mistakes about contexts or we just do not understand or maybe even George Bush gets blamed for blatant disregard of the word of God especially by our “supreme intellectual" president for the mishaps in our society let’s once again explore the wise man.

The Hypocrite
Obama says he became a Christian by choice
The president says he was drawn to Christianity by the precepts of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of salvation. His remarks come amid polls that show a growing number of Americans think he is Muslim.
September 29, 2010|By Christi Parsons and Peter Nicholas, Tribune Washington Bureau
Reporting from Albuquerque — President Obama said Tuesday that he is a "Christian by choice" and that his decision was influenced by gospel teachings about salvation and the importance of loving one another.
His mother and the grandparents who helped raised him weren't regular churchgoers, Obama told a group here. But he became a Christian later in life because of the religion's basic principles, he said.
Romans 1:23-26 KJV
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Obama's 'Evolving' Views on Same-Sex Marriage
Posted: 05/04/2012 11:36 am
Recently, at a book party at the Harman Center of the Arts in Washington DC, that Michael Kahn, the head of the Shakespeare Theater gave for Double Life, a book that my partner Norman Sunshine and I had written together, we spoke about our fifty year relationship. As the Washingtonian reported the next day: "When" the authors "read from several letters they'd received from readers, especially parts that dealt with their years together, coming out, and being able to marry, several of the male couples held hands, or put arms around each others' waists, or put their heads together." There were straight people as well as gay and yet we were delighted to see how comfortable everyone was with each other -- it was a community of equals.
As we went about Washington, we found the same total acceptance of gay people everywhere. Of course the capital had legalized same-sex marriage in 2010 but we were still surprised to see how integrated the city already was. We were staying at the Hay Adams Hotel from which we could see, across Lafayette Square, the White House where we imagined President Obama was sitting at his desk with his thoughts on same-sex marriage still "evolving," as he had put it many months before. Why, we wondered, was it taking so much time for him to decide whether or not he was for marriage equality?
It's obvious to all of us that President Obama wants to be reelected and will do whatever he can to insure it so possibly he is afraid that by coming out for same-sex marriage he will lose some votes. Yet at this time a majority of Americans, according to the polls, are in favor of same-sex marriage and the ones who aren't probably won't vote for Mr. Obama anyway. The young people in the country are vociferous in their recognition of the right of all people to love and to marry, and they are the ones who championed Obama in the first place because he was strong, vital, and determined to change our country for the better. But what happened to that person who now sits thinking, "evolving" and not making the strong decisions he promised us all?
There are many people who agree that he will not take a stand on same-sex marriage now, for fear of losing votes, but will do so once he is elected. But who knows what happens to a president in his second and final term? Perhaps, as he spends time readying his library, as so many of his predecessors have done, his major contributors may not like the idea of same-sex marriage and refuse to give him money unless he forgets it. And he may -- it's not impossible. But why doesn't he take a stand now? Why not go down in history as the president who not only rid the world of a monster and who fought to bring health care to everyone but who secured love for everyone as well? Why not add Obamalove to Obamacare as a legacy? And it won't even cost the taxpayer any money. If anything it will make money for the community as same-sex couples marry, have children, set up homes with mortgages, buy furniture, food -- everything that goes into the process of couples living together.
There are two current books that I think can point the way to President Obama: one, Catherine The Great that tells of the Empress's desire to free the serfs and her endless thinking about it year after year but then never doing it. Wouldn't her legacy be different if she had? My other recommendation is the new book on Lyndon Johnson who fought for Civil Rights until he was able to secure them for the country. Isn't it time, President Obama, that you too fight for what you believe is right? If you stand for equality and the greatness of our country come out now; don't procrastinate any longer. Make Obamalove a part of your reelection campaign and endorse same-sex marriage. What could be more appropriate than doing it in June for Gay Pride month? Show us the man we all voted for who was going to make our world different.
Well we defined the 2 types of belief yes belief in our first look at blatant disregard for Jesus’ words.
Romans 1:18-20 KJV
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
This is evolution and the errors in letting this influence our social issues.
It’s rather interesting that the professed Christian Barak Obama mixes the issues of Sodomy and evolution in his thoughts. Again as we state over and over in this neck of the woods WE READ THE BIBLE. If we examine some of the so-called spiritual advisors in Barak Obama’s life we hear people like Jeremiah Wright saying we all need to read books by so and so about so and so. Well if we are Christians the first and only thing we need to know about is READING THE BIBLE.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The phrase kingdom of God appears 70 times in the Bible and all of these are in the NT. If we consider the decisions of our nation's leadership we would have to wonder if Barak Obama is pursuing the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Barak Obama. We would also have to ask ourselves why do real Bible believing Christians vote for this guy. Once again it goes without saying if we believe and READ THE BIBLE then Mr. Obama’s thoughts and thinking are unimportant. This ol’ preacher is laughing at the notion that liberal progressives and the intellect they pride themselves in is absurd and ridiculous. The final laugh will be had by the Lord God, His Son JESUS CHRIST and us the BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS. This ol’ preacher is already both praying for these individuals and laughing at their “supreme intellect”.
Romans 1:22-23 KJV
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Colossians 2:1-23 KJV
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; (2) That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (4) And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. (5) For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. (6) As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (7) Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (10) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (11) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; (14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: (17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. (20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? (23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

(17) Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. (18) Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. (19) Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. (20) The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
These verses explain all we need to know about how we behave socially or nationally about the things God would have us to know compared to the “state of the union”.
Romans 15:1-7 KJV
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (2) Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

(4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (5) Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: (6) That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, (2) Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: (3) Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. (4) And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
The passages of Jesus from earlier
Matthew 19:4-6 KJV
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark 10:5-9 KJV
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. (6) But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (7) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. (9) What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
So what does our illustrious leadership of our nation decide is best for the common cause? Well let’s take our regular journeys through the word of God to get the truth.
Romans 1:18-28 KJV
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Well here we go again. Let’s just get to the point
Just so there are no mistakes about contexts or we just do not understand or maybe even George Bush gets blamed for blatant disregard of the word of God especially by our “supreme intellectual" president for the mishaps in our society let’s once again explore the wise man.

The Hypocrite
Obama says he became a Christian by choice
The president says he was drawn to Christianity by the precepts of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of salvation. His remarks come amid polls that show a growing number of Americans think he is Muslim.
September 29, 2010|By Christi Parsons and Peter Nicholas, Tribune Washington Bureau
Reporting from Albuquerque — President Obama said Tuesday that he is a "Christian by choice" and that his decision was influenced by gospel teachings about salvation and the importance of loving one another.
His mother and the grandparents who helped raised him weren't regular churchgoers, Obama told a group here. But he became a Christian later in life because of the religion's basic principles, he said.
Romans 1:23-26 KJV
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Obama's 'Evolving' Views on Same-Sex Marriage
Posted: 05/04/2012 11:36 am
Recently, at a book party at the Harman Center of the Arts in Washington DC, that Michael Kahn, the head of the Shakespeare Theater gave for Double Life, a book that my partner Norman Sunshine and I had written together, we spoke about our fifty year relationship. As the Washingtonian reported the next day: "When" the authors "read from several letters they'd received from readers, especially parts that dealt with their years together, coming out, and being able to marry, several of the male couples held hands, or put arms around each others' waists, or put their heads together." There were straight people as well as gay and yet we were delighted to see how comfortable everyone was with each other -- it was a community of equals.
As we went about Washington, we found the same total acceptance of gay people everywhere. Of course the capital had legalized same-sex marriage in 2010 but we were still surprised to see how integrated the city already was. We were staying at the Hay Adams Hotel from which we could see, across Lafayette Square, the White House where we imagined President Obama was sitting at his desk with his thoughts on same-sex marriage still "evolving," as he had put it many months before. Why, we wondered, was it taking so much time for him to decide whether or not he was for marriage equality?
It's obvious to all of us that President Obama wants to be reelected and will do whatever he can to insure it so possibly he is afraid that by coming out for same-sex marriage he will lose some votes. Yet at this time a majority of Americans, according to the polls, are in favor of same-sex marriage and the ones who aren't probably won't vote for Mr. Obama anyway. The young people in the country are vociferous in their recognition of the right of all people to love and to marry, and they are the ones who championed Obama in the first place because he was strong, vital, and determined to change our country for the better. But what happened to that person who now sits thinking, "evolving" and not making the strong decisions he promised us all?
There are many people who agree that he will not take a stand on same-sex marriage now, for fear of losing votes, but will do so once he is elected. But who knows what happens to a president in his second and final term? Perhaps, as he spends time readying his library, as so many of his predecessors have done, his major contributors may not like the idea of same-sex marriage and refuse to give him money unless he forgets it. And he may -- it's not impossible. But why doesn't he take a stand now? Why not go down in history as the president who not only rid the world of a monster and who fought to bring health care to everyone but who secured love for everyone as well? Why not add Obamalove to Obamacare as a legacy? And it won't even cost the taxpayer any money. If anything it will make money for the community as same-sex couples marry, have children, set up homes with mortgages, buy furniture, food -- everything that goes into the process of couples living together.
There are two current books that I think can point the way to President Obama: one, Catherine The Great that tells of the Empress's desire to free the serfs and her endless thinking about it year after year but then never doing it. Wouldn't her legacy be different if she had? My other recommendation is the new book on Lyndon Johnson who fought for Civil Rights until he was able to secure them for the country. Isn't it time, President Obama, that you too fight for what you believe is right? If you stand for equality and the greatness of our country come out now; don't procrastinate any longer. Make Obamalove a part of your reelection campaign and endorse same-sex marriage. What could be more appropriate than doing it in June for Gay Pride month? Show us the man we all voted for who was going to make our world different.
Well we defined the 2 types of belief yes belief in our first look at blatant disregard for Jesus’ words.

Matthew 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The phrase kingdom of God appears 70 times in the Bible and all of these are in the NT. If we consider the decisions of our nation's leadership we would have to wonder if Barak Obama is pursuing the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Barak Obama. We would also have to ask ourselves why do real Bible believing Christians vote for this guy. Once again it goes without saying if we believe and READ THE BIBLE then Mr. Obama’s thoughts and thinking are unimportant. This ol’ preacher is laughing at the notion that liberal progressives and the intellect they pride themselves in is absurd and ridiculous. The final laugh will be had by the Lord God, His Son JESUS CHRIST and us the BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS. This ol’ preacher is already both praying for these individuals and laughing at their “supreme intellect”.

Colossians 2:1-23 KJV
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; (2) That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (4) And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. (5) For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. (6) As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (7) Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (10) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (11) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; (14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: (17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, (19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. (20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? (23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: (16) Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. (17) Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. (18) Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. (19) Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. (20) The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
These verses explain all we need to know about how we behave socially or nationally about the things God would have us to know compared to the “state of the union”.
Romans 15:1-7 KJV
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (2) Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. (3) For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. (4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (5) Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: (6) That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (7) Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
