For edification and in leading by the Holy Spirit, I would like to share with the body of Christ the reason why I use a King James Bible, as opposed to the newer modern versions. Please know, I myself was adamantly opposed to switching from an ESV for years, being actually..

 saved through an NIV bible. I believed the issue was a small one and that it did not matter. I am not here to convince anyone that the love of God in Christ unto salvation is only found in a certain bible, for we know that a man is justified by the grace of God through faith..
apart from any works. Yet, I am led to share some findings (which others already have shared). The newer bible versions have apparently corrupted the word of God, by eliminating words and whole verses. This appears to be the enemy's game plan since most people use the modern..
versions. I am going to list book, chapter, verse (if any one wants to compare the KJV to the modern versions) with a brief description of the differences. In many cases there are whole passages that have been eliminated from the modern versions. Some of you have already done....
their own work here, esp @SolaScriptura99 and also @JoshuaVats to whom I am thankful. They have more extensive findings than mine I am sure. What is evident, is there has been a purposeful hiding of important words/terms in these newer versions such as 'blood', 'heaven',...
'kingdom', 'hell' to name only a few. In no way is this list exhaustive.

Verses
1. 1 John 4:3- NLT/NIV/ESV/ NASB eliminates Jesus Christ has "come in the flesh"
2. Phil 2:6- modern versions destroy the meaning by contradicting Jesus and the Father being one; Jesus being God
3. Matt 9:13 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "repentance"
4. John 6:47 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "believe on me" (Jesus) to just "believes"
5. Rev 22:14 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "do his commandments" entirely and replaces with "wash their robes"
6. Gal 5:12- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB has Paul calling for emasculation/mutilation of enemies.
7. Mark 9:29 -NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "fasting" to cast out a demon.
8. Matt 6:13- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates kingdom, power, glory, eternity (forever) from Lord's prayer
9. Luke 11:2- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates God's location in heaven in the Lord's prayer.
10. Heb 10:34-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the lasting possession is "in heaven".
11. Rev 16:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the Throne of God's location, "in heaven"
12. 1 John 5:7-8-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB completely removes the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
13. Mark 10:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB changes the meaning of the verse by eliminating "for them who trust in riches"
14. Luke 4:4-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates that man should live by..
"every word of God."
15. Dan 3:25-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "the Son of God" and uses either "son of the gods" or "god".
16. Rev 2:15-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that Jesus hates the Nicolaitans' teaching.
17. Rom 8:1- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "who walk not after...
the flesh, but after the Spirit".
18. Matt 19:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB really twists the fact that God is the one who is good.
19. Matt 25:13- NIV/ESV/NASB eliminates it is the Son of man coming.
20. John 8:9-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes "convicted by their own conscience".
21. Col 1:14-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that redemption is "through his blood".
22. 1 Peter 1:22-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact obedience comes through the Spirit.
23. Rev 21:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "which are saved"
24. Matt 27:48-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB makes..
Jesus a liar by inserting "wine' into verse, contradicting his own word in Matt 26:29

PASSAGES REMOVED (subject): Acts 8:37 (Jesus, Son of God); 1 John 5:13 (believing on the name of the Son of God); Mark 11:26 (forgiveness); Matt 18:11 (Son of man saving lost); Mark 15:28...
(on cross); Acts 23:9 ("fight against God"); Luke 17:36 (removal of the wicked); Luke 4:8 ("Get behind me Satan"); 1Tim 6:5 (withdrawing from covetous men); Matt 17:21 (prayer and fasting); Matt 23:14 (damnation); Mark 7:16 (call to hear God's word); Mark 9:44 (hell);...
Mark 9:46 (hell); Luke 23:17 (releasing Barabbas); John 5:4 (healing of paralyzed man); Acts 15:34 (location of Silas); Acts 24:7 (removal of Paul); Acts 28:29 (Jews reasoning over Paul's words); Rom 16:24 (grace of the Lord Jesus Christ); Matt 12:47 (ESV removes only);...
Mark 16:9-20, Luke 22:43-44, John 7:53-8:11, Isa 14:12 (Lucifer; replaced with morning star/day star which refers to Jesus Christ, 2 Pt 1:19; Rev 22:16).

There are much more than what I have listed. I pray that whoever read this tweet, will not just dismiss outright but rather
look into these things for himself/herself. We are one body and one in Christ, who is the Word of God, and we are aware that there is an enemy who always seeks to twist the word, causing doubt as to what God has said and what he did not say...
[Gen 3:1 KJV] 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Grace and peace in Christ.

My little Jacob Wohl story: August 2016, we're sitting around the trading turrets at my office on a bored to tears slow day. Our receptionist said someone was here for his 2pm appointment. None of us had an appointment on schedule. Who is it? we ask? Some guy named Jacob Wohl 1/

Jacob Wohl, for those out of loop, gained quite a bit of notoriety for becoming the youngest guy to ever get himself barred for life from the financial industry. Now he's waiting in our lobby to pitch something. We're a large merchant bank. 2/

Send him in, we said. In walks young Jacob asking to be seeded with $25mm to start a new hedge fund in exchange for an ownership stake in it. Oh, & he needs an office. And a Bloomberg station. And needs to borrow staff until he can hire some guys. And he needs a leased car... 3/

And he needs an answer today. Right now. Because there's a competing offer from Izzy Englander's firm Millenium (we know those guys well). We fight the urge to literally start laughing, but do ask him...hey, you the same guy who got banned by regulators? He didn't even flinch 4/

He went on about that being untrue & handed over a letter he said was from his lawyer who had confirmed he was not barred, had been vindicated but it 'just wasn't in the system yet at the SEC, CFTC'...whatever that means. 5/

We are all products of our own environments. Our environments shape our character, our personality, our habits, our identity.

The environment that Ousmane Dembélé grew up in and the environment that FC Barcelona seeks to engulf its youngsters with could not be more different.

The Great Gatsby starts with a life lesson.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

Ousmane hasn’t had the advantages that La Masia youngsters have had. That’s why he’s Ousmane.

Like every La Masia youngster, Ousmane grew up with a dream: playing for Barça.

Like every youngster, he fought to stand out amid a talented group of players, the majority of which would fail to go pro.

However, his football education was the polar opposite to that of La Masia.

Ousmane did not reside in one of the most expensive academies in Europe: he lived in a low-cost public housing unit in Normandy. He did not play in the well-trimmed pitches of La Masia, he played in the concrete jungles of Évreux. These disadvantages made him the man he is today.

While street soccer encourages individuality & creative freedom, academy-based training like La Masia encourages unselfishness & teamwork.

That’s why Barça produce certain types of 20-year-olds like a factory line. It’s also why Barça spent €145m on a 20-year-old Ousmane.

This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?

My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.

But what if that wasn't true?

Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.

The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!

I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.

Thread:
A year ago, at this hour exactly I was in Maujpur in northeast Delhi. For days, weeks & months, I -- like several other reporters -- filed multiple stories on the #DelhiRiots. On the violence, the perpetrators, the victims, the burnt homes & shops, the fear.

I remember every minute of Feb 23, 2020 -- from the speeches to smoke billowing from afar. What I can't ever forget is the face of a man who sat alone in front of a shop, his kurta dusty and torn, blood on his forehead, unable to answer who he was & where he wanted to go.

I've his photo, I never posted it anywhere, and I won't either. He was in such shock, and there was no help around. I tried talking to him but he didn't say a word. He was numb.

It'll take me years before I can fully write down what happened that afternoon -- a stampede, stones flying all around me, a colleague who held nu hand & ran, another who lost her slipper for a minute, tear gas, my inhaler, salt.

I sent my mother messages, my hands trembling. At 1 am, I was home -- my head buried inside a pillow between my parents.

So I was talking to @gewt about Job: A Comedy of Justice and I came up with a theory that I think explains why Heinlein's late-period work is so kinda-terrible and why I still enjoy it so much


So Heinlein had always been very interesting in the short parts of his novels, like the little snippets inside chapters. He had a very fun writing style, and wrote some fun dialogue with fun characters, right?>
It probably comes from how much of his early stuff was short fiction

And I think what happened with a lot of his longer works is that he'd just start writing fun bits and hope it would end up going somewhere or having a bigger plot by the end. like eventually he'd figure out where this was going, then go back and rewrite it into a cohesive whole

and I'm sure he had editors that'd help this process. No editor would let you publish something as rambly and changing-gears-every-other-chapter as The Number Of The Beast, for example... unless you were God-King Of Science Fiction 1980s Robert Heinlein.

so basically I think what happened is that by the 80s (when he was in his seventies!!) he lost the drive to go back and rewrite and he was too Untouchable for editors to make him.

Manipulation Sign:

If you are compromising too much, there is a chance that you are getting manipulated.

Why are you the one that's always compromising?

How come the other person always gets their way?

Be more curious.

If something seems off, stick up for yourself.

'Wait, you sure I am being manipulated?'

I have no clue, that is only something that you can decide for yourself.

'Dang is there anything I need to look out for?'

Plenty..

But let me give you a few things to look out for.

👇

I see manipulation as skillfully controlling someone's behavior for egotistical or unethical purposes.

'How come people don't leave when it's happening to them?'

Because most people have 0 clue that they are being manipulated.

1. Guilt Trip

You ever made a mistake around someone, only for them to hold it over your head?

The will always bring up the mistake when you 2 are not seeing eye to eye.

These people will use that mistake as leverage to get what they want from you in the future.

Look out.

2. The Rationalizer

This person will commit the worst acts & find a way to rationalize it.

Example: cheaters when they get caught.

They have every excuse in the book for why they did it.

Heck, they are so good at rationalizing, they will make it seem like your fault.

Eri Katha Ramar Temple
Maduranthakam

Eri Katha Ramar temple is located at Maduranthakam near Chengalpattu of Tamil Nadu. Beautiful Kodanda Ramar of about 8ft holding Ma Sita's hand & with Lakshmana. This temple story is connected with Sri Ramanujar.
@LostTemple7


It was here Periya Nambigal performed Pancha Samskaaram to Ramanujar under Magizham tree.
Sri Ramanujar was on his way from Kanchipuram to meet Sri Periya Nambigal at Sri Rangam to become his disciple. Sri Periya Nambigal also started towards Kanchipuram to meet Ramanujar.


They both met here at Madurantakam.
Small Mandapam where Ramanujar undertook Pancha Samskaaram is seen in the temple. Separate sannidhi is for Periya Nambigal & Ramanujar & this is the only temple where Ramanujar is seen as a Grahastha (married person) and not in Sanyasa kolam.


Story says about an incident which occurred during British rule. The Madurantakam lake bund was about to breach, due to heavy rain & village will be flooded if it happened. Dt collector was Cl. Lionel Blaze who took efforts to protect the bund & asked for the piles of stones


in the temple to protect it. But it was meant for Janakavalli ( sita) Thayar sannidhi which faced shortage of fund. Lionel Blaze prayed Sri Ramar to save the bund and if so he will provide fund to construct.
That night he saw in the lightning, Sri Rama & Lakshmana walked along

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.
