שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.

Today is June 17, 2023

 

June - Juno's month

Middle English jun(e)
Old French juin
Old English junius
Latin Junius "of Juno"
Latin Junius mensis "month of Juno"

Junius had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

Juno is the principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon. She is the goddess of marriage and the well-being of women. She is the wife and sister of Jupiter. She is identified with the Greek goddess Hera.

 

The God of Israel has His own Calendar: Sivan סִיוָן see-van day 28

 

Esther 8:9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan...

 

New moon coming, 4th month of God, no scriptural Bible month name for Tammuz

The 19th in the evening

 

Here is weeping for Tammuz – (pagan deity)

תַּמּוּז Tammuwz {tam-mooz'}

Meaning:  Tammuz = a Sumerian deity

Ezek.8 [14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Yehovah's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz – (pagan deity)  תַּמּוּז -- a Sumerian deity of food or vegetation, a Phoenician deity

 

Today’s topic

A world where evil is good

 

and

 

good is evil

 

Saul / Paul said in the past:

 

Eph.6 [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but

against principalities,

against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

 

Eph.5 [11] … have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them

 

 

Eph.4 [27] neither give place to the devil

 

Isa.5 [20] Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

[21] Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
[22]
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
[23] Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

 

 

Mal.2 [17] You have wearied Yehovah with your words.

 

Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied him?

 

When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of Yehovah, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

 

1Cor.10

[20] …I say, that the things which the Gentiles (the nations) sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.

 

Eph.5

[11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them

 

 

Having quoted these scriptures above, here is

 

Life today in the 21 century

 

 

Sad to say, June, it's officially Pride Month!

LGBTQ community in 2023

 

LGBTQ and WHAT IS LGBTQIA+?

LGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, +Plus

 

Pride Month spans the month of June each year, this year beginning on Thursday, June 1 and ending on Friday, June 30.

Pride celebrations – including parades, festivals, parties and picnics – are held throughout the month in different cities across America

Pride Month: marking it a time to celebrate LGBTQ communities, promote queer joy and fight for rights that are under attack.

New York hosts the country’s largest pride parades each year, and approximately 5 million people attended 2019 World Pride there, a global LGBTQ festival that marked the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising

 

The Stonewall Riots, also called the Stonewall Uprising, began in the early hours of June 28, 1969 when New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club located in Greenwich Village in New York City. The raid sparked a riot among bar patrons and neighborhood residents as police roughly hauled employees and patrons out of the bar, leading to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement outside the bar on Christopher Street, in neighboring streets and in nearby Christopher Park.

The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.

 

 

What does the Bible say about this?

 

Here are a few verses:

 

Lev.18 [22] You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

 

Lev.20 [13] If a man also lie with mankind, as he lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

 

Bestiality refers to the actual act of engaging in sexual intercourse with an animal, regardless of the motivation and circumstances.

 

Zoophilia refers more to the bigger picture of people who have a desire to form sexual relationships with animals.

 

[15] And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast.

[16] And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

 

 

Deut.22 [5] The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto Yehovah thy God.

 

 

1 Cor.6 [9] Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

 

Gen.13 [13]… the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yehovah exceedingly.

 

Gen.9 [20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
[21] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

[22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
[23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
[24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
[25] And he said, 
Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
[26] And he said, Blessed be Yehovah God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

 

 

1 Tim.1 [9] Knowing this, that the law (judgments) is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, [10] For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; [11] According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

 

Today, Pride Month symbolizes an opportunity for visibility and community.

In addition to celebrating LGBTQ love and joy, it’s also often a time to highlight important policy and resource issues the community faces.

In 2021, NYC Pride banned law enforcement presence at Pride events through 2025 because of escalating violence "against marginalized groups, specifically BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color (used to refer to members of nonwhite communities) and trans communities."

In 2023, LGBTQ organizations are combating more than 650 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year.

 

Scripture, states:

 

First, we are all humans

Acts.17 [26]…(God) had made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth

 

 

Other Scriptures states:

 

Deut. 18

[9] When you are come into the land which Yehovah thy God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
