WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ON...Adultery/Fornication #1

A  NEW  SERIES  FROM  TIME  TO  TIME  ON  IMPORTANT  TEACHINGS  OF  THE  BIBLE;  IT  WILL  BE  IN  ALPHABETICAL  ORDER.

ADULTERY / FORNICATION # 1

Adultery is sexual relations when married with someone other than your mate

Fornication is sexual relations with someone when NOT married - being single.

Gen. 20:3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and

 said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman 

which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

2 Sam. 12:14. Howbeit,because by this deed thou hast given great

 occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also

that is born unto thee shall surely die.

(King David had committed adultery with Bathsheba)

Job 24:15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,

 saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth her face. 16. In the

 dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for

 themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 17. For the

 morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know

them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death,   v. 18.

Job 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I

 think upon a maid. 9. If mine heart have been deceived by a

 woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10. Then let

 my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

 11. For this is a heinous crime; yet it is an iniquity to be punished

 by the judges. 12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction,

 and would root out all mine increase.

Prov. 2:16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from

 the stranger which flattereth with her words: 18. Her house in-

clineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19. None that go

 unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

    

Prov 5:3. The lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,

 and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4. But her end is bitter as

 wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. vs. 5-22.

Prov. 6:24.  To keep thee from the evil of the strange woman 

25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take

 thee with her eyelids. 26. For by means of a whorish woman a

 man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt

 for the precious life. 27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and

 his clothes not be burned? 28. Can one go upon hot coals, and

 his feet not be burned? 29. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's

 wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 32. But

whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:

 he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33. A wound and

 dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped

 away.

Prov. 7:5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from

 the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6. For at the

 window of my house I looked through my casement, 7. And

 beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a

 young man void of understanding, 8. Passing through the street

 near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9. In the

 twilight, in the evening; in the black and dark night: 10. And,

 behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and

 subtle of, heart. 11. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not

 in her house: 12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth

 in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him,

and with an impudent face said unto him, 14. I have peace

 offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15. Therefore

 came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have

 found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,

 with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have perfumed

 my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18. Come, let us take

 our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with

 loves. 19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long

 journey: 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will

 come home at the day appointed. 21. With her much fair speech

 she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced

 him. 22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the

 slaughter, or as a fool to the_ correction of the stocks; 23. Till a

 dart strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and

 knoweth not that it is for his life.

Prov. 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and

 knoweth nothing. 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a

 seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call passengers who go

 right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

 and as for him that wanteth understanding, she catches  him,

 17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there: and that her

 guests are in the depths of hell.

Prov. 22:14. The mouth of strange women is a deep pit:

he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.

Prov. 23:27. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is

a narrow pit. 28. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increased

 the transgressors among men.

Prov. 29:3. He that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his

substance.

Prov. 30: 20. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth,

 and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

Prov. 31:3. Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that

 which destroyeth kings.

Isa. 57:3. But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed

of the adulterer and the whore. 4. Against whom do ye sport

 yourselves, against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out 

the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of

 falsehood.

Jer. 3:1. If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and

 become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not

 that land be greatly polluted?

Jer. 5:7. How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have

 forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed

 them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled

 themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. 8. They were as fed

 horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's

 wife.

Jer. 7:9. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear

 falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods

 whom ye know not; 10. And come and stand before me in this

 house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to

 do all these abominations?

Jer. 23:10. The land is full of adulterers.

Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and

 right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath

 lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath

 defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstru-

ous woman, 9.  He is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord

 God.

Hos. 4:1 The Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the

 land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God

 in the land. 2. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing,

 and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth

 blood. 11. Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take away the

 heart.

Matt. 5:28. Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath

 committed adultery with her already in his heart. 32. Whosoever

 shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication,

 causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry

 her that is  divorced   committeth  adultery.   Mark 10:11,12;

 Luke 18:18.

Matt. 15:19. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,

 fornications, Mark 7:21.

Matt. 19.9. 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 10:11.

Rom. 1:28. 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 unrighteousness,

Worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in  them 

that do them.

1 Cor. 5:9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with

 fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this

 world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for

 then must ye needs go out of the world.

1 Cor. 6:15. Know ye not that your bodies; are the members of

 Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them

the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16. What? know ye not that

 he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he,

 shall be one flesh. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that

 a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth

   fornication sinneth against his own body.

Cor. 10:8. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them

 committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

2 Cor. 12:21. And less, when I come again, my God will humble

 me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned

 already, and have not repented of the un-cleanness and

 fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Gal. 5:19. The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 21. Of the

 which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that

 they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Tim. 1:9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous

 man, but ... 10. For whoremongers, for them that defile

themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured

 persons, and if there he any other thing that is contrary to sound

 doctrine.

2 Tim. 3:6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and

lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers

 lusts.

1 Pet. 4:3. The time past of our life may suffice us to have

 wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in

 lasciviousness, lusts,.... 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye

 run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of

you.

Pet. 2:9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of

 temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment

 to be punished: 10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in

 the lust of uncleanness. 14. Having eyes full of adultery, and

 that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls.


Jude 7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them

 in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going

 after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the

 vengeance of eternal fire.

Rev. 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,

 because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel . . . to teach and to

 seduce my servants to commit fornication,... 21. And I gave her

 space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22.

 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery

 with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Rev. 9:21. Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their

 sorceries, nor of their forniocation.

BLESSINGS for you and others - poem and thoughts

We may not always feel this way, but we are blessed! We are blessed with things that we may take for granted from time to time, such as love, friendships, an abundance of food, a home, and, most of all, a God above who watches over us and loves us.

I cannot find a truer word, nor better, to address you!

Nor song, nor poem I have written, ts sweeter than, "God bless 

you."

God bless you! Thus I've wished you all that Christian joy possesses,

for there can truly be no joy unless, indeed, God blesses.

God bless you! So I breathe a charm lest grief's dark night oppress 

you, 



for how can sorrow bringyou harm, if it's God's way to bless


you.



And so through all your earthly days may shadows touch you never,

but if they should God's blessing will keep you safe forever.

NOW GE vaccines for FLU!

First Genetically Engineered Flu Vaccine Now on the Market

January 29, 2013 | 144,911 views | By Dr. Mercola

As recently reported, a hardier than normal type of flu has spread around the US, and much earlier than normal, causing some states to declare public health emergencies.

To speed up flu vaccine production, the US FDA has approved a new insect-based, genetically engineered flu vaccine, as well as vaccines grown in cultures of dog kidney cells rather than eggs.

And while mainstream media claims the flu vaccine is working well this year, a recent review of published research shows flu vaccines are ineffective at best, and produce neurological complications at worst, while having no effect at all on hospitalizations or working days lost.

Flu Outbreak Showing Signs of Waning

In response to the flu outbreak, New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued an executive order allowing pharmacists to give flu vaccine injections to minors. If you believe this is a good thing, you’re still in the dark about the side effects of flu vaccines — some of which can be fatal — which makes getting it at a neighborhood pharmacy risky business.

Besides, all vaccinations should be carefully recorded in your child’s medical file, which will not happen when you pop into a pharmacy. They’re also unlikely to be properly trained to ascertain and/or address any acute side effects that may occur.

On January 11, media outlets such as ABC News¹ reported the outbreak was waning in some parts of the nation, claiming the flu shots appeared to be doing a good job in curbing the outbreak. However, in the same article, CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden points out that the flu tends to ebb and flow throughout the season.

Furthermore, this year’s flu vaccine contains a very good match to the circulating strains, yet the reported efficacy of the vaccine is still only slightly over 60 percent — a point made by Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota². According to Osterholm:

"A match doesn't tell us how well a vaccine is going to work. It's almost meaningless."

Perhaps the headlines are best explained as counter-propaganda to the latest scientific review that, yet again, found that the flu vaccine offers minimal, if any, protection against the flu, and that it comes at some risk. One of the most recent examples is the devastating side effects of the 2009-2010 flu vaccine, which caused some 800+ cases of narcolepsy in Sweden and other European countries³.

Flu Vaccine Doesn’t Work, According to Recent Research Review

If you’re thinking about vaccinating yourself or your infant against the flu, I highly recommend reading the independent study review from the Cochrane Collaboration first. As Tom Jefferson, a researcher with the Cochrane Collaboration, recently told Northwestern.edu⁴:

“The [Center for Disease Control] is making policy based on weak evidence and it is refusing to answer questions. There is no evidence that vaccines can prevent deaths or prevent person-to-person spread of infection.”

According to these independent research reviewers⁵:

“At best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10 percent of all circulating viruses. Authors of this review assessed all trials that compared vaccinated people with unvaccinated people. The combined results of these trials showed that under ideal conditions (vaccine completely matching circulating viral configuration) 33 healthy adults need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms.  In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms.

Vaccine use did not affect the number of people hospitalized or working days lost but caused one case of Guillian-Barré syndrome (a major neurological condition leading to paralysis) for every one million vaccinations.

Fifteen of the 36 trials were funded by vaccine companies and four had no funding declaration. Our results may be an optimistic estimate because company-sponsored influenza vaccines trials tend to produce results favorable to their products and some of the evidence comes from trials carried out in ideal viral circulation and matching conditions and because the harms evidence base is limited.”

As you may recall, Piers Morgan recently got the flu vaccine on the air on the Dr. Oz show, "and within 10 days I've been struck down," he now reports. "Don't ever take a flu shot again," Yoakam tells him, in this January 23 interview. Good advice, I'd say. While health agencies deny the possibility of getting the flu from the flu vaccine, many still do experience flu-like symptoms and/or get ill to some degree or another after getting the vaccine.

Regulators Approve New Genetically Engineered Insect-Based Flu Vaccine

Despite evidence to the contrary, the conventional view is that getting inoculated is the best way to protect yourself against the flu, and to make more flu vaccines available faster, the FDA recently approved a number of novel flu vaccines.

The first, Flublok, is produced by programming insect cells to produce hemagglutinin, a flu virus protein essential for entry of the virus into your body’s cells. Flublok is “the first the first trivalent influenza vaccine made using an insect virus (baculovirus) expression system and recombinant DNA technology⁶,” and is approved for use in adults only, ages 18-49. This kind of genetically engineered vaccine technology, while you may never have heard of it before, has already been used in the production of vaccines against other infectious diseases. According to CNN⁷:

“This method allows for more rapid production, making more of the vaccine available more quickly in the event of a pandemic... Flublok will be available in limited supply this winter and widely available during the next flu season, said Protein Sciences, which is based in Meriden, Connecticut.

Flublok contains the elements necessary to help fend off three different flu strains, including H1N1 and H3N2, the regulator said. And it proved 44.6% effective against all influenza strains in circulation, not just those that matched the strains included in the vaccine, according to the FDA.”

Other Novel Flu Vaccines Being Unleashed

Last November, the FDA also approved a new flu vaccine by Novartis called Flucelvax, which is grown in cultures of dog kidney cells rather than chicken eggs⁸ . This too allows for speedier vaccine production, should another pandemic erupt. But does speedier production equate to safer products? If history offers any clues, the answer is no. But, as demand for vaccines of all kinds increases, the relationship between the US government and Big Pharma keeps getting cozier. As reported by Reuters⁹:

“In 2006, HHS [US Department of Health and Human Services] provided more than $1 billion in contracts to six manufacturers to develop cell-based flu vaccine technology in the United States... In 2009, spurred by difficulties in growing vaccine for the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, HHS provided Novartis with nearly $500 million to build the first U.S. facility capable of producing cell-based vaccine for seasonal and pandemic flu in the United States.”

The newly approved Flublok vaccine also received financial backing from the US government. The HHS bailed out the small manufacturer, Protein Sciences, with a $147million investment, allowing it to create the first gene-based flu vaccine to win FDA approval. It certainly won’t be the last however. Two other genetically engineered flu vaccines are under development. According to Reuters, one of them, created by Novavax, will use “bits of genetic material grown in caterpillar cells called "virus-like particles" that mimic a flu virus.”

I for one am not looking forward to finding out what the side effects might be from this new generation of genetically engineered flu vaccines... Even worse, the HHS also has its eye on a “universal” flu vaccine that would cover any and all flu strains, and only require one dose every five to 10 years.  As reported by Reuters:

“Work by Fauci and Dr. Gary Nabel, former head of NIH's Vaccine Research Center who just joined Sanofi as chief science officer, showed that a portion of the flu virus that is usually hidden from the immune system may be the key.

Fauci describes the hemagluttinin part of the flu virus as bulb-shaped with a stem on one end, sort of like a dandelion that has gone to seed or a lollipop on a stick. Most vaccines target proteins on the bulb portion of the virus, which mutates from year to year, but Fauci says the stem contains proteins that don't change much from virus to virus. The problem is that when the flu virus is presented to the body, these stem proteins are structurally hidden from the immune system. A genetically engineered vaccine could overcome that by only presenting these stem proteins to the immune system.”

According to Robin Robinson, director of the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a part of the HHS, it’s “a good hypothesis” that will hopefully work. The HHS is “keeping fingers crossed.” What could possibly go wrong by making your body attack genetically engineered virus structures that are normally hidden from immune system detection, right? 

Irresponsible Flu Vaccine Recommendations Reach a New Low

In related news, while a new breed of genetically engineered flu vaccines are hitting the market, some experts are now actually proclaiming the conventional egg-based flu vaccine safe for those with severe egg allergies. According to a recent article in the New York Times¹⁰:

“Amid an unusually widespread outbreak of the flu, a medical association of allergy specialists said Friday that even children with severe egg allergies should get flu shots. Because the vaccine is grown in chicken eggs, manufacturers recommend that the roughly 2 percent of all children who have egg allergies not get them. But flu hospitalizes 21,000 young children a year, said Dr. James L. Sublett, chair of the public relations committee of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

Because only trace amounts of egg protein remain in the vaccine, “we now know administration is safe,” he said. “'The benefits of the flu vaccination far outweigh the risks.” Even children who have gone into anaphylactic shock from eating eggs should get flu shots, but from an allergist trained to handle emergencies, the association recommended.”

I really cannot believe how far they will go to endanger your health — especially when you consider that, for an industry that claims to be science-based, flu vaccine recommendations go AGAINST the hard evidence. Worse yet, while studies show flu vaccination is ineffective, when it comes to safety, which is the other and more important factor (especially for infants), the evidence is basically non-existent! According to an independent study review from the Cochrane Collaboration¹¹ published August 15, 2012, the efficacy of inactivated vaccine is similar to placebo in children under the age of two. Furthermore:

“Influenza vaccines were associated with serious harms such as narcolepsy and febrile convulsions [in children]. It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months of age.”

Vaccine Damaged Child Awarded $1 Million

A lot of people still believe vaccines are safe, not realizing that children are being permanently harmed each and every day by mandated childhood vaccinations. Sadly, once that happens, the family is left ‘holding the bag,’ with no recourse.

In December last year, a family won a nearly $1 million settlement¹² from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, but this is a rarity. Severe flaws in the system results in the majority of vaccine injured children not receiving any compensation at all for the harm inflicted on them. According to the court’s decision¹³:

“Petitioners alleged that as a result of “all the vaccinations administered to [Ryan] from March 25, 2003, through February 22, 2005, and more specifically, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccinations administered to him on December 19, 2003 and May 10, 2004,” Ryan suffered “a severe and debilitating injury to his brain, described as Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’)...

Petitioners specifically asserted that Ryan “suffered a Vaccine Table Injury, namely, an encephalopathy” as a result of his receipt of the MMR vaccination on December 19, 2003. Id. In the alternative, petitioners asserted that “as a cumulative result of his receipt of each and every vaccination between March 25, 2003 and February 22, 2005, Ryan has suffered . . . neuroimmunologically mediated dysfunctions in the form of asthma and ASD.”

In this case, while the MMR vaccine was indicated as a possible culprit, the primary cause was believed to be the sheer number of vaccinations. The cumulative effect of multiple vaccinations simply cannot be underestimated, and now they’re asking you to vaccinate your children against the seasonal flu, each and every year, starting from the age of six months! And they’re recommending this without ANY proof whatsoever that this is indeed safe. Safety is “assumed.” Not tested and verified. Please do remember this.

One way to evaluate your child’s potential for vaccine damage is to get his or her gut flora checked prior to getting any vaccine. For more information about this novel but promising way to prevent vaccine damage, please see my interview withDr. Natasha Campbell-McBride

The WORLD today!

Today  is  January  28th.

The war in Mali.....the French have taken Timbuktu without firing a shot. It would seem the fanatical group has fled. Maybe for now the war is over, for how long remains the big question.

Egypt is facing more unrest from a good portion of its people who are against the present power in control....Egypt is then far from being a stable country to head up the end time "king of the south." It could be years before it gains stability.

In Australia we have the demonstration of how crazy the weather can be today. Queensland is under floods, serious flooding; and the flooding now extends into New South Wales which till recently was under fires with temperatures being the hottest on record.

The USA has been getting a blast from the Arctic that has caused vehicle crashes and death, on such a wide scale it is hard to believe.

Greece says it is out of financial trouble in the main, after bringing in austerity cuts, time will tell.

An Italian bank is under hot fire for corrupt dealings, so we'll see where all that leads and what can of worms it opens up.

Spain has had a bad olive harvest and says the price of olive oil may go up as much as 40 percent. Spain is the world's largest producer of olive oil.

Apple is no longer the number one company to be looked at; some wonder if anyone in Apple can muster up the visionary mind that Steve Jobbs had...... kinda hard shoes to fill, in a visionary sense Jobbs was a genius.

North Korea says it will march on with rocket launching and Nuclear bomb testing, no matter what nations of the world have to say or do about it. No need to be worries.....North Korea has no part in Bible prophecy, except maybe at the very end of this age, into the "day of the Lord" when maybe North Korea could be a part of the kings of the East coming against the Beast/Babylon power of Europe - Revelation 16:12.

The civil war in Syria keeps going......I wonder if there will be ANY building left in one piece by the time it is all over.

Have not heard much about Haiti in the last year; still building back from the earthquake that hit them a few years ago or so. I guess they must be having the help they need from all the charity organizations, and most are surviving; obviously as they knew, it will take years to build it back, hopefully with much stronger buildings, especially done in a way to withstand earthquakes.

Bill Gates (Windows/Microsoft fame) was on TV tonight claiming (with his billions of dollars to help) that polio will in the next 3 to 5 years be history, gone forever....again time will tell.

The Night-Club fire in a town in South Brazil that took 200 or so lives; did not have a sprinkler system, and only ONE way out.......  that just blows me away,  in the 21st century,  a nation that will be hosting the next summer Olympics, and they as a Government did not have laws in place for two exists and a sprinkler system.... I shake my head, unbelievable. I should think now they will see the light and get up to date. The pain, grief, heartache, must be horrible for that community.
