Introduction to “Questions to ask your Minister”

What motivated David to fight Goliath?

That’s  the question I  often ask people to gauge their response and sus-out their in-depth knowledge of the old testament.  A picture is painted that David was God’s Champion. His courage came from God. His motivation and battle-cry was “who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the army of the Living God”.

That’s all wrong.  An assumption.  Like an assumption many people have that Jesus was Caucasian.

The fact (based on the story in 1st Samuel) is that DAVID and Donald Trump had a lot in common.  The emotion that motivated Trump and David was the 3rd of the 7 Deadly Sins – GREED.  David didn't want to have to pay taxes for life. Pure and simple – yet sinfully deadly – GREED.

That was part of the reward that Saul the King of the Israelites was offering to the man that killed Goliath.  He had heard that and was so preoccupied that he asked around if it was true.

David wasn't so brave as the picture is painted, the first time David heard Goliath speak he ran with everyone else.   All Israel ran from Goliath – and David, is in ALL

Here’s another question for those who want to contemplate the story. when David arrived to find His brothers, with no electricity, no public address system and 10 thousand or so soldiers between David and Goliath,   how did David even hear Goliath?

One of the many reasons I am of the opinion that I and others should close our minds to the old testament.  Non of our business really, was not written with us in mind.  In any event it is fully fulfilled in my Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ.

Apart from poetry in the book of psalms and motivational sayings from Proverbs, I pay no heed to it.  I realise that the words in book the Book of Psalms & Proverbs are the words of mortal and by nature sinful men,  they are not the words of my God, spoken by my God.

I am mindful to start a wee series entitled Questions to ask your Minister / Priest.

And to start with go to  Question 1, “Who was God taking to”?

Question to ask your minister 1, “Who was God taking to”?

In my mini series Questions to ask your minister

Question to ask your minister 1, “Who was God taking to”?

Most people know the story of creation in the first book of the King James christian bible.

God said Let there be light and there was light. etc much like I say out loud to myself “I am hungry – make dinner”

clearly there is a vast nothingness in the cosmos and a lonely God speaks to him/herself to bring what he/she is thinking about into being

however when it comes to bringing man into being God deviates from His/Her previous speak

In verse 26 of Genesis chapter 1 on the 6th day of creation comes the words, “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.”

“Let us”
“in our”
“after our”

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”

             Question 1 = Who was God speaking to?
Follow on question = How many Gods were there?
Follow on question = As the result includes male and female is the God/Gods not male and female?
Follow on question = Does trans-gender identity come from our image and likeness of God?

Yet again with guard down, DUP shows it's true colours

The Democratic Unionist Party
shows it true colours

When Prince Harry announces
that he is going to follow his Father
and ‘Marry’ a divorced woman
he announces to the world
that he will be living in what
Jesus the Christ calls - Sin
the Sin of Adultery

and he is going to do so
deliberately – with joy in his heart

Arlene, The DUP leader is Ecstatic and
Wonderfully Happy for the Prince
and shares this Happiness by Twitter

Yet this is the party that denies
by Petition of Concern
the right to Marry to
gay people in Northern Ireland

No where in his 33 years of Human existence
including 3 years of earthly ministry
Does Jesus, God’s Son, condemn any gay person
or forbid a gay person marrying

But Jesus, God’s Son does condemn what
Prince Harry is determined to do.
Jesus Says, in the Gospel of Matthew
Chapter 5 verse 32
“whosoever shall marry her
that is divorced committee adultery”

How can a so-called Christian like Arlene
be Ecstatic and happy at the thought
of another person looking forward
to throwing Jesus under the bus ?

As Much as telling Jesus
where HE can shove HIS Gospel

What is the Perverted Christianity
that prevents them from passing
marriage equality in Northern Ireland ?

What ever it is ,
it is indeed perverse.

Christian Police Association - PSNI - Leviticus 20:13

Dear PSNI Chief Constable 

Open Letter 

does Christian Police Association

support the belief that Leviticus 20:13 is referring to gay people ?

@uk_cpa

It is of the HIGHEST PRIORITY to know the answer to this Question.

Because if the answer is in the affirmative,

we can have uniformed and plain clothes police in Northern Ireland,

who believe that the murderers of gay men,

have done nothing morally wrong.

“Their blood shall be upon them”

places the moral responsibility for the death on the victim,

not the assailant.

A notion in this day and age

is putridity,

repugnant & reprehensible

or (defies description)

If Christian Officers,

who believe this verse refers to gay people are not clearly identified,

how can gay victims of a hate crimes,

know that confiding in a PSNI officer,

will be dealt with in an empathic and humanitarian way?

on apple cider vinegar - good for me or gimmick - time will tell

This is not my work, posted here so i can learn from it
most here came from homeremediesforlife.com 


Apple Cider Vinegar hereafter referred to only as ACV

Arthritis can cause chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the fingers, hands, knees, elbows, hips, jaw, and any other joint in the body. It cannot be cured, but you can get relief from its symptoms.

For thousands of years, ACV has been commonly recognized as the most effective natural remedy for arthritis pain. I’m about to find out how its many healing properties can help me live a fulfilling life in spite of your arthritis.

How Does ACV Relieve Arthritis Pain?

Mineral deficiencies can exacerbate joint pain. ACV contains the calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus your body needs to dull that pain.

The magnesium in ACV helps bones absorb calcium, which is essential to bone strength.

ACV also contains antioxidants, beta-carotene, and acetic acid. Anti-oxidants block the damaging effects of free radicals, preventing the cell and tissue damage characteristic of degenerative conditions like arthritis.

It is rich in enzymes and acids that promote proper digestion and the absorption of the nutrients essential to healthy joints.

Arthritis pain is partially caused by metabolic waste that is stored in connective tissues.

The pectin, acetic acid, and mallic acid in ACV help absorb toxins and flush them out of the body.

When consumed, ACV reduces the pain and stiffness of arthritis by dissolving the acid crystals that build up in the joints.

Once it is processed, ACV leaves behind an alkaline residue that helps balance the body’s pH.

How to Use ACV as an Arthritis Remedy

Below are several of the most common and most effective methods for using ACV to relieve arthritis pain and stiffness. Try them all until you find the one that works best for you.

1. ACV and Cherry Juice

Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, which battle inflammation.

Mix 1 teaspoon ACV into a glass of cherry juice.

Drink 2 times daily to relieve arthritis pain.

Include ACV and cherries in your healthy diet to enhance energy and boost the immune system.

2. ACV and Water

Mix 1-3 teaspoons ACV into 8 ounces water.

Drink 3 times daily, preferably before meals.

To improve flavor, add honey.

You can also use this mixture as an external pain relief ointment.

3. ACV Soak

Mix 1 cup ACV into 6 cups warm water.

Submerge painful joints and soak for at least 30 minutes.

Use this topical solution whenever you are in pain.

4. ACV with Carrier Oils

Mix 2 tablespoons ACV with 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil.

Massage directly into arthritic joints for a few minutes and leave on.

Repeat regularly for pain relief.

5. ACV Tonic

Prepare a 10 oz. glass of peppermint tea.

Mix in 1 tablespoon ACV, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

Drink once daily to relieve arthritis pain.

Note: This tonic is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and it serves as an antacid.

6. ACV Bath

Run a hot bath and pour in 1-2 cups ACV.

Soak for 30-35 minutes, massaging the entire body.

Start with the feet and work your way up each leg one at a time.

Next, massage the torso, arms, and neck.

Lightly stroke the face without pulling skin downward.

After your bath, do a dry massage and remember to rub the ears.

Do this regularly.

7. ACV with Apple and Grape Juices

Mix 1 part ACV with 3 parts apple juice and 5 parts grape juice.

Drink ½ cup per day.

8. ACV Poultice

Add 1 ½ cups water and ¼ cup ACV to a pan.

Heat until the liquid is comfortably hot to the touch.

Soak a clean washcloth in the mixture and wring it out.

Place the soaked cloth on the painful joint.

Wrap it with a dry towel to retain heat.

Leave on 10-15 minutes.

When the cloth cools, re-soak it, wring it out, and re-apply.

Repeat as needed.

9. ACV and Honey for Arthritis

ACV and honey are great sources of potassium. They become alkaline when consumed and aid in the safe excretion of excess acids.

Method 1:

Mix 2 teaspoon each of ACV and honey into a glass of water.

Drink 3 times daily.

It will also dissolve the uric acid deposits that crystalize between joints and muscles.

This method is great for rheumatoid arthritis.

Method 2:

Mix 1 teaspoon each of ACV and honey into a cup of warm water.

Drink this daily in the morning to get rid of the arthritis.

This will remove toxins built up in joints and connective tissue.

10. ACV for Arthritis in the Hands

Osteoarthritis often occurs in the hands, and it is more common in women than men. ACV provides relief from pain and stiffness of the hands and fingers.

Method 1: ACV and Cayenne Pepper

ACV and cayenne pepper contain anti-inflammatory and alkalizing properties that reduce pain and stiffness in the hands.

Mix small amounts of ACV and cayenne pepper to make a paste.

Apply to painful joints and leave on 15 minutes.

Method 2: ACV and Cayenne Pepper Hand Soak

Mix ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper into 1 cup warm ACV.

Submerge hand and fingers and soak until pain is gone.

Method 3: ACV for Gout

Mix 2 tablespoons ACV into a cup of water.

Drink once daily.

This method reduces inflammation, blocks uric acid production, and alkalizes to balance the pH.

11. ACV for Rheumatoid Arthritis

ACV dissolves the acid crystals that cause the joint stiffness and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Method 1: Warm ACV Massage

Warm ½ cup ACV to a comfortable temperature.

Apply to painful joints and rub gently for a few minutes.

Method 2: ACV with Castor Oil

Castor oil and ACV reduce inflammation, restore damaged tissue and boost your immune system.

Apply ACV to painful joints.

Once it is completely absorbed, massage the area with castor oil.

Wrap the joint in a cotton cloth and cover it with plastic to avoid staining.

Tips & Warnings:

• Always use organic, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV that contains the Mother. We recommend Bragg’s.
• Ask your doctor if ACV will interact with any medications you are taking.
• ACV can cause and/or exacerbate throat and stomach pain.
• Some people are allergic to ACV.
• ACV should be diluted and drank through a straw, otherwise it can damage tooth enamel.
• ACV tablets are not more effective than liquid.
• All of the above methods should be repeated until your arthritis pain disappears.
• Take 2-4 teaspoons ACV regularly to prevent future pain and stiffness.
• ACV can also be used as a salad dressing and added to fruit juices and teas.
• Have you tried any of the above methods for relieving arthritis pain?
• Do you know of any methods we’ve left out?

What chance has a young 15 year old of stirring compassion in a DUP MLA

regarding Darragh Tibbs viral video appeal to Gordon Dunne MLA DUP



This young man needs to know that the DUP
is a party that has perverted the Gospel of Christ,
have taken Christ's teachings and threw these in the litter bin
and set fire to it.  

they support nuclear weapons of mass genocide,
weapons that do not discriminate between women with children and combatants,
weapons that abort fetuses by the hundreds
by vaporizing the pregnant mothers,
by remaining in the party we have to assume
that Gordon Dunne also supports this.

The DUP is the party that in 1986
kicked the RUC in the teeth and as much as said
that our homes, with our families deserved to be attacked.

Believe me young man if hypocrisy was uranium
the DUP could power the planet.

When Gordon Dunne watched his party former leader on tv,
emotionally telling us of Iris's inappropriate affair,
Gordon Dunne knew that the Robinson's Marriage
no longer fitted the legal definition of marriage,
as defined by Lord Penzance in Hyde -v- Hyde,
[to the exclusion of all others] and continuing to
live as man and wife the Robinson's in effect redefined Marriage.

See ..wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_v_Hyde

Apparently the DUP can redefine marriage when it suits them

by calling themselves a party with Christian Values
they are perverting the very name of Jesus Christ,
what chance has this young man of succeeding
in stirring a nerve or sinew of humanity or compassion
when they kick Jesus Christ the Son of God in the teeth

Why wont the media challenge Ashers on its claim to be Christian ?

well actually the part of my anatomy I sit on knows more about snipe-shooting than management of Ashers knows about Christianity and I have the bible as a witness,

They certainly are not christian when it comes to a willingness to promote satanism and the satanic feast of Halloween.

Barrister Robin Allen QC, representing Mr Lee, presented a promotional leaflet which he claimed showed the firm was willing to produce Halloween cakes.

"Witches are hardly consistent with promoting Christian beliefs," Mr Allen said.

I have learned about the sinfulness of Halloween from Professor Doctor the Rev Ian Brown pastor of the Martyrs memorial [his lecture on it is available on sermonaudio.com]

and yet Professor Brown is willing to ignore Ashers Halloween anathema, and doing business with Tesco to market its goods on Sunday despite the FPC backing the Christian Voice boycott of Tesco for promoting Sodomy in London Pride,

why would a Christian Bakery be doing business with a retailer that other Christians are boycotting in such large numbers that they are effecting its profits? 

but all this professor Brown appears willing to overlook and give his support to ashers because of the common enemy [gay people]

and we know from Professor Brown in his lecture on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo about Waterloo, that he wants Northern Ireland to be LGBT's Waterloo and he has told gay people here if they dont like the laws here to go down to the Irish Republic. He definitely cannot hide behind Hindu Ghandi's Love the sinner hate the sin, on that one.

But here is what I have discovered in the past 48 hours Professor Dr. the Rev Ian Brown has a passion for miniature male dolls http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01318/subbuteo_1318443c.jpg
all kitted out in football kit, shorts showing bare knees etc, perhaps that is why he thinks about gay sex so much . http://northdownvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/this-does-not-look-like-balanced.html and that there is a link showing the breakdown of his writing on gay sex sin verses straight sex sin

Jesus told ashers in Matthews gospel that when there being taken to court to give the people who took them to court more than they were looking, As Jesus put it, if they want your coat give them your cloak as well, by contesting the case and then appealing it, Ashers have as much as told Jesus to mind his own Godly business. Christian ?? hardly , but our heavily biased and not independent media will let them get away with it.
