It's a question that’s hardly asked when talks of coming together as a collective is mentioned!
Too often people look at the desirable fruits of a unified status quo but fail to objectively consider the consequences of irresponsibility in the process. One of the dangers in doing so is a collective failure in which absolutely no one wants to take responsibility in!
Let's look at Unity according to the scriptures,
• Ps 133:1 ( A Song of degrees of David. ) Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
• 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
• 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Notice in verse 2 that unity among brethren is compared to the oil that is poured to anoint not only the priest but emphasis being upon the 1st priest Aaron, placing the value of unity as the primary ingredient for bringing people unto the Creator as does the Priest that intercedes for the people, UNITY is the sole understanding of that which ultimately intercedes!
So the value of unity is definitely something that we ALL, believers and non believers alike MUST strive for.
But the question remains....how do we truly and honestly strive for unity? Let's see what the Apostle Paul (Shaul) has to say concerning this matter.
• Phil 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
• 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
• 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
• 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
The first thing we need is the Spirit (mind) of fellowship which is something we MUST find comfort in, but a lot of us are locked into our own individual comforts which keeps us separate from each other by our own ambitions, thus unity with this being said must be a mental and emotional aptitude before it can become a physical reality.
If fellowship can be experienced as a joy then those who are like minded as being interested in the same realities can achieve the same goals.
But in the 3rd verse of Phil 2, we also read the key element that corrupts the unity of fellowship which is *VAINGLORY* which is a major cause of strife on all levels! This goes back to what I stated previously, that if we experience joy in fellowship then we systematically can eradicate our individual vanities.
But let's be mature about this, if we are to get to this point then we must consider what the Apostle Peter (Shimon) wrote for our edification in what we should seek in our quest for Unity,
• 1Pet 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
• 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
• 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
• 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
If we desire to not have certain *dramas* in our life, if we are to love life (enjoying our families, friends and the fruits of our labors) then we must learn to courageously walk away from our vain desires of rendering evil for evil and maliciously speaking against each other when our personal comforts are disturbed (even if we do experience disrespect), because we desire good days of peace our duty in our obedience to the Creator, to be a blessing as the oil that anoints the priest, then let us 1st strive to be of one mind with each other no matter how difficult the fight!
Peace!!!

Who protects the RICH, ELITE and PRIVILEGED????
I read this article and it made me truly began to see that the rich capitalist whos sole concern is to make money!!! But who make the money for the RICH Capitalist to enjoy their own riches????
Who else but the poor, common worker!
http://www.drumsnwhistles.com/2011/01/30/riot-police-guard-billionaires-against-protesters-in-rancho-mirage/
This is a direct quote from the article;
"All kidding aside, the meeting they’re protesting is the semi-annual meeting of rich billionaires to plan and coordinate how to best spend their billions electing people who act against the interests of ordinary folks. From repealing the Affordable Care Act to redefining rape, our currently elected House of Representatives is acting in Koch’s best interests."
WE UNDERSTAND NOW THAT MONETARY INTEREST SUPPLIES PLENTY OF PROTECTION, KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN UR OBSERVING THE POLICE (SECURITY OF WEALTH)!
Here's another story from a young man who experienced the opposite side of police protection........
oh what not having billions and being in the wrong place will get you!!!
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh officials say a city investigation has cleared three white police officers who were found not to have committed crimes in their interactions with a black teenager who claims he was wrongly beaten.
Police Chief Nate Harper said Thursday that he’s begun the process of reinstating the officers who were suspended shortly after 19-year-old Jordan Miles claimed he was roughed up and beaten for no reason in January 2010.
Miles has said he believes he was attacked because he was a black man walking in a high-crime area and that he ran from the undercover officers only because they did not identify themselves.
The officers said they initially thought Miles had a gun, which turned out to be a soda bottle.

Defiled bread among the Nations
Your defiled bread among the gentiles!
What ever happened to the movement among brothers and sisters that encouraged self sustainment and promoted health consciousness among our poor folks? That shunned the selfish goals of the rich and abhorred capitalism? What happened to the strength of this idea among men and women in this world? Everyone's concerned about what's right in their own eyes, and this has become a poison in the minds of us all! Far too much consideration is place on personal gratification and the fear of loss, leaving everyone with a defensive mentality. Now for the people who say they believe in the Bible I ask, is believing the only concept required to allow change to take place, and if so then particularly what is there to believe? Now we know to believe God, Yah, Yahweh, Yahawah, Yahua, The Most High, or whatever you wanna call him, that's not the issue......... Then what is?
It's defining what that actual belief is!
Those who say they believe in the Bible should consider what's written in the book of James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
One good example of faithful works is in verse 15 of the same chapter, if there's poor folks, or those struggling in your camps, bible class, church, synagogue, temple, community or meeting place and you don't take care of their economic and social needs then you are actually breaking the law of God!.........how?
Let's look in the book of Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
Now some vain man or woman will say that we are not in that land and that law only applies to the laws of the land of promise
But keep in mind what Yah said in Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for 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. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Yah judged our fathers in the land and cast them out because of their wickedness in how they dealt with each other.
He also judged them in the land for how they dealt with the poor, as we read in Isaiah 3:13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts
And in their wicked judgment against the poor they even made their OWN decrees as in the 10th chapter of Isaiah beginning at verse 1, it reads; 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
These were reasons israel was cast out of the land as well as many other reasons because of how they treated their brethren in the land, which is no different than how we are treated in the land of our captivity, we hate when people ask for help, when a homeless person ask you for change we almost cringe! We even get to the point where we'll say "The Lord said don't be a fool you shouldn't let people play you and etc...."
The truth and solution to this issue is found beginning in the book of Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Now this young man kept the commandments but there was still something lacking in this young mans faith.
But when Peter asked Yahshua what they (the apostles) shall receive after they left all to follow him, look what he told them;
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life
And we see this fulfilled in Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Also in Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
If we truley believe then let us follow the example of the apostles and believe on God through their word as is written in John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
So let stop saying we believe and start re examining this Bible and show that we believe
1st Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Ps download skype and friend search *Joseph diggs* every tuesday @ 7:30pm EST we gather with all who call themselves Israel to come to the table and go from there,
Where? Let's find out! israelites what are we as those who say we understand among the people going to do together and collectively to help reverse the destruction that so long poisoned us through food and beverage?
We lean on the idea that only the Creator alone will fix these things and deliver but fail to acknowledge that in the bible it is written in the book of Jeremiah 29
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them
Even in the 1st babylonian captivity our fathers were instructed to take means to live by producing their own!
But now in this second captivity we are totally consumed by the food industry! And for the love of our own convenience we accept what's given to us even if its harmful.
This type of diet is totally expressed in Ezekiel 4 beginning at verse 9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
And today we eat and suffer due to our continuous consumption of our "defiled bread" among these nations,
Just look at some of the symptoms;
High calorie, sugar laden processed foods coupled with our sedentary lifestyles is growing our waistlines and contributing to serious health issues like diabetes, heart ailments and cancers. One-third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese.
And this is no accident or coincidence, this is strategically done by design! Hers a few ways industries systemised the agricultural production of food beginning with;
Factory Farming
Approximately 10 billion animals (chickens, cattle, hogs, ducks, turkeys, lambs and sheep) are raised and killed in the US annually. Nearly all of them are raised on factory farms under inhumane conditions. These industrial farms are also dangerous for their workers, pollute surrounding communities, are unsafe to our food system and contribute significantly to global warming.
And from this type of food processing comes the effects on our health!
Cancers, autism and neurological disorders are associated with the use of pesticides especially amongst farm workers and their communities. Learn about what pesticides are in your food and their effects.
Genetic EngineeringSome of our most important staple foods have been fundamentally altered, and genetically engineered meat and produce have already invaded our grocery stores and our kitchen pantries.
Cloning In January 2008, the FDA approved the sale of meat and milk from cloned livestock, despite the fact that Congress voted twice in 2007 to delay FDA's decision on cloned animals until additional safety and economic studies could be completed.
If the system is doing this to us simply to capitalize for profit then its no wonder the drug companies and all their sorceries (5331 in the strongs concordance is medication) is prevailing so strong and profiting well!!!!
We must revolutionize by becoming self sufficient its our only option!!

Yah judged our fathers in the land and cast them out because of their wickedness in how they dealt with each other.
He also judged them in the land for how they dealt with the poor, as we read in Isaiah 3:13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts
And in their wicked judgment against the poor they even made their OWN decrees as in the 10th chapter of Isaiah beginning at verse 1, it reads; 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
These were reasons israel was cast out of the land as well as many other reasons because of how they treated their brethren in the land, which is no different than how we are treated in the land of our captivity, we hate when people ask for help, when a homeless person ask you for change we almost cringe! We even get to the point where we'll say "The Lord said don't be a fool you shouldn't let people play you and etc...."
The truth and solution to this issue is found beginning in the book of Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Now this young man kept the commandments but there was still something lacking in this young mans faith.
But when Peter asked Yahshua what they (the apostles) shall receive after they left all to follow him, look what he told them;
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life
And we see this fulfilled in Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Also in Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
If we truley believe then let us follow the example of the apostles and believe on God through their word as is written in John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
So let stop saying we believe and start re examining this Bible and show that we believe
1st Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Where? Let's find out!!
It's defining what that actual belief is!
Those who say they believe in the Bible should consider what's written in the book of James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
One good example of faithful works is in verse 15 of the same chapter, if there's poor folks, or those struggling in your camps, bible class, church, synagogue, temple, community or meeting place and you don't take care of their economic and social needs then you are actually breaking the law of God!.........how?
Let's look in the book of Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
Now some vain man or woman will say that we are not in that land and that law only applies to the laws of the land of promise
But keep in mind what Yah said in Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for 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. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

700 Hypocrite
I was watching an episode of THE 700 CLUB and Pat Robertson was commentating on Canada's Socialized health care. He evidently showed his disdain for the government's program by claiming flaw with their specialised treatment programs and general patient services such as unnecessary waiting and so on. Then in another episode Mr. Robertson briefly commented on ISRAEL'S socialised health care plan and COMMEND IT, giving it praise as a healthy solution to healthcare.
I've been taught since my days in public school that there is a seperation of church and state yet Pat Robertson can commentate with obvious religious overtones and pro republican undertones and no one speaks against this...... THUS THE HYPOCRITE STANDS!!!!!!!
