No Forcing!

Seems that more and more TV ads are being aired enticing people to buy their choice of health insurance, with the word "affordable" attached to it, including the option for UnitedHealth (related to pro-Obamanite AARP).

Wonder who all is behind it, and if the new insurance policies MUST include coverage for human-extinction-directed pregnancy-preventor contraceptives and human-extinction-destined pregnancy-termination abortion homicide -- facilitating the wasting of potentially-reproductive human resources with porn and prostitutes by wickedly irresponsible freeloaders who willfully and deliberately self-inflict themselves with "pre-existing conditions" . . . all in obvious and direction violation against:

Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

Genesis 9:1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth."

Genesis 9:7
"And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it.”

Exodus 20:14
“You shall not commit adultery." [ including with someone who, with reasonable assumption, is going to become the spouse of someone else ]

Hosea 4:14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.

Mark 10:19
You know the commandments: ‘Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’

Luke 18:20
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’

First Timothy 2:15
Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with sobriety.

First Timothy 5:14
So I would have younger women marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the enemy no cause to revile us.

There has - over the past several months - been, and continues to be, a great outcry against strict Islamic sharia law (and it's supposedly "harsh and cruel" applications) by "New-Testament-alone-love-love-love-only" carnal pseudo-"christians" throughout America.

Be that as it is, perhaps the fake and mere-social-club "christians" would be more open-minded and content to substitute and replace sharia mandates with strict and literal interpretation, application, and enforcement of what is contained within their own Judeo-Christian Bibles - particular pertaining to the Laws of the Torah Pentateuch (i.e. the first five book of Moses in the Old Testament of that Sacred-66-books Judeo-Christian Holy Bible).

It is going to be either one OR the other, and it is NOT going to be neither one!

Their choice.

There are Biblically-based laws against kidnapping, which sometimes is called "false imprisonment:"

Exodus 21:16 Whoever steals a man, whether he sells him or is found in possession of him, shall be put to death.

First Timothy 1:8 Now we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully,
First Timothy 1:9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the non-godly and sinners, for the non-holy and profane, for murderers against fathers and murderers against mothers, for genocidal,
First Timothy 1:10 immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,
First Timothy 1:11 in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

Philemon 1:14 . . . but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.

Recently, three examples relating to the above Scripture occurred which I will elaborate upon.

The first was an episode of Rawhide, which some of you who are familiar with TV-western serials might recollect.

In a nutshell, portrayed was a young man accompanied by a young women in love with him came to the Rawhide Wagonmaster seeking employment - the woman having intention to seek protective shelter against a forced-marriage husband searching for her. The Wagonmaster was desperate for employed men on his crew to drive cattle, and thus hired the guy, but then found out that the woman who was accompanying the new hire was already married to a Baron backed up by a group of rifles-possessing sharpshooters, which Baron discovered that his escape-minded wife was with the Wagonmaster and his cowhands who the Wagonmaster was protectively harboring.

Why the woman was hiding out from the Baron is because although she had voluntarily married the Baron, she did not love the Baron, deserted the Baron after being voluntarily wed to him, then wanted out of marital relationship with the Baron, and instead wanted to marry the young-man employee the Wagonmaster had hired.

The Baron confronted the Wagonmaster and demanded that the Wagonmaster simply turn over the Baron's wife to the him (the Baron) after which the Baron promised that he would leave the Wagonmaster and his cowhands in peace, or else the Baron and his riflemen would forcefully enter the Wagonmaster's wagontrain and take her away, even if a bloody gunfight ensued.

At that point, the Wagonmaster made a mistake (for which he should have been shot and wounded), which was egotistically not ousting the woman and her young-man lover out of the wagontrain company but instead belligerently threatening the Baron to not enter the wagontrain area. By allowing her to remain with the wagontrain, the Wagonmaster was endangering the security and well-being of his cowhands, who were significantly outnumbered by the Baron and his riflemen.

As it turned out, the woman finally turned herself over to the Baron in a very public way sensing that bloody carnage was about to happen and her male friend was about to be hung by the Baron, but doing it in a way in which everyone on both sides witnessed the woman publicly declaring that she wanted to romantically attach herself to the young wagontrain employee who had accompanied her, with the final consequence of the Baron, in the presence of all, telling everyone he would divorce her from that point on, and departing without any gunfight casualties.

It reminded me of the get-her-permission-first reference:

Genesis 24:34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
35 The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.
36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.
37 My master made me promise, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I reside;
38 but you shall go to my father's house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'
39 I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
40 But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father's house;
41 then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'
42 "I came today to the spring, and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you will prosper the way which I go,
43 Hey, I am standing by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, "Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,"
44 and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also," let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'
45 "Before I was done speaking in my heart, hey, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'
46 She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.
47 Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.
48 Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my master's relative for his son.
49 Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
51 Hey, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."
52 When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the LORD.
53 And the servant brought forth jewelry of silver and of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.
54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."
55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."
56 But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way; let me go that I may go to my master."
57 They said, "We will call the maiden, and ask her."
58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."
59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, be the mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them!"
61 Then Rebekah and her maids got up, and rode upon the camels and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Now Isaac had come from Beerlahairoi, and was residing in the Negeb.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and hey, there were camels coming.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel,
65 and said to the servant, "Who is the man over there, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Then Isaac brought her into the tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

I guess that that was their version of Christian Mingle, e-harmony.com, and other dating services back in those days -- although the mother-in-law Naomi of her daughter-in-law Ruth the Widow functioned as a matchmaker as did the servants of King Ahasuerus mentioned in the Old-Testament book of Esther in their search for a replacement to the insubordinate feminist Queen Vashti.

The next incident involved a somewhat-elderly male Relative of My Friend temporarily engaging in what appeared (to me) to be (de facto) quasi-erotic sex-play-like teasing-and-wrestling contact, in his living room, with a fortunately-fully-clothed-and-ponytailed, apparently-voluntarily-participating, nine-year-old girl on a couch who was the granddaughter of that somewhat-elderly Relative. The somewhat-titillating situation (as I viewed it) ended when the underaged granddaughter relocated herself to another part of the house, leaving the somewhat-elderly male Relative of My Friend to watch TV alone in his living room.

Pertinent are the following verses from the Old-Testament book of Ruth concerning the last example:

Ruth 2:9 Let your eyes be upon the field which they are reaping, and go after them. Have I not charged the young men not to molest you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink what the young men have drawn."

Ruth 2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, "It is well, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, lest in another field you be molested."

The third and final occurrence had to do with My Friend who owned a house and who had taken in a widowed cousin of hers into that house because the somewhat-incompetent-businesswise and sort-of-disabled cousin had lost her own house by foreclosure and other causes. My Friend let that cousin and her dog move herself plus the cousin's significantly-massive belongings into My Friend's crowded house and harassively stay there for nine months, continuously and profusely complaining about this and that, with the added burden of My Friend having to daily walking the cousin's dog and scooping up the poop deposited during the walks, with My Friend presuming that that cousin would do what it took to get on her own and support herself by herself over time. That did not happen for nine full months, but finally that cousin was hospitalized with surgery and thereafter had to briefly stay in a nursing home for a short while for recovery and meds management, but then told My Friend that she was going back to live with My Friend and that a male orderly would continuously be invading My Friend's house at 3:00 in the morning each morning to administer drugs to the cousin, and if My Friend did not allow that to happen, the male orderly would call the police and force My Friend to let the male orderly barge into the house at 3 a.m. each morning.

At that point, My Friend told the cousin that she would NOT be coming back to her (My Friend's) house, and instead had to get out on her own and find some other place to live, which fortunately happened without incident by the cousin's brother and his wife taking the cousin in.

In all three cases above, it is the inferior-gender girl or woman who relocated and removed herself from endangering others she had no right to endanger, tantalize, or disturb. That is admirable, and laudable expression of logical wisdom and sensibility, although in the last case mentioned certain other personnel of quite-persuasive influence strongly advised My Friend to mandate the prompt ouster of her slacker cousin.

It is good when persons realize (hopefully by themselves) that they are outnumbered, and would be committing severe socially-disruptive harm against innocent others who should not suffer because of impositions of selfish and obstinate female fools who would thoughtlessly insist on having their own way.

Examples of godly escape from discerned potential and imminent trouble are numerous in Holy Writ:

Genesis 7:7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.

Genesis 19:17 And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."
Genesis 19:20 Hey, that city over there is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there -- is it not a little one? --and my life will be saved!"
Genesis 19:22 Hurry, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

Exodus 9:20 Then he who feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his slaves and his cattle flee into the houses;

Exodus 21:12 Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.
13 But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.
14 But if a man willfully attacks another to kill him treacherously, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
15 Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.
17 Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death.

Deuteronomy 4:41 Then Moses set apart three cities in the east beyond the Jordan,
Deuteronomy 4:42 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without being at enmity with him in time past, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might save his life.

Joshua 20:1 Then the LORD said to Joshua,
Joshua 20:2 "Say to the people of Israel, 'Appoint the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,
Joshua 20:3 that the manslayer who kills any person without intent or unwittingly may flee there; they shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.
Joshua 20:4 He shall flee to one of these cities and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and explain his case to the elders of that city; then they shall take him into the city, and give him a place, and he shall remain with them.

First Samuel 23:28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.
First Samuel 27:1 And David said in his heart, "I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand."

Second Samuel 15:14 Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Get up, and let us flee; or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom; hurry, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

Ezra 9:14 shall we break your commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you would consume us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the [ figurative ] shadow of your [ euphemistic or symbolic ] wings

Second Timothy 2:24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing,
Second Timothy 2:25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth,

Second Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence,
Second Peter 1:4 by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.

During this Thanksgiving season (as of this writing), when churches of various (and sometimes demonically pro-feminist and/or pro-homosexual hierarchy not condemning nor prohibiting the visual tyranny imposed by congregant female mopheads flaunting indecently-exposed loose long hair and/or sleevesless naked arms or shortened-skirted/shorts-attired nude legs and/or soxless parts of bare feet in noisy-flipflop sandals in sanctuary and foyer) denominations burden their parishioners with contribution-pledge expectations, it behooves each congregant to consider the limited amount of income or earnings or whatever which he or she realistically expects to acquire each month, and initially set aside enough monies to pay residual expenses (i.e. recurring monthly bills) before designating any hard-earned currency to churches, religious causes, and (to a much lesser extent) political action groups.

If such is NOT done, it would be like having only one dollar bill in one's wallet, going to a gas station and pumping twenty dollars of gas into the tank, then presumptuously expecting the Lord to perform some miracle and provide the other nineteen dollars to pay the cashier for gas.

Even the Lord Jesus Himself would consider that blasphemously-misconsidered presumption a despicably hideous, stupid, and ridiculous thing to do:

Matthew 4:6 and [ the Devil ] said to [ Jesus ], "IF [ not "since" ] you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge of you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

Luke 4:9 And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "IF you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here;
Luke 4:10 for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,'
Luke 4:11 and 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
Luke 4:12 And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

AFTER one has FIRST set aside funding for paying monthly bills (which amounts they have had before), perhaps on the first day of the week or month, variable amounts of greenbacks can be set aside and earmarked for church and religious and political contributions taken out of:

(1) money set aside for luxuries which would be nice to have but are not necessities, and
(2) buffer savings tucked away in cash (not banks) for reasonably-expected emergencies.

Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
30 saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'
31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace.
33 So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has [ so that he has to shamefully declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy after donating everything away and destroy his credit rating, then both starve and freeze to death out in the cold after giving away his grocery money and house during winter? ] cannot be my disciple."

First Timothy 5:8 If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a disbeliever.

In conclusion, consider the story of Jesus about ten virgins - five of whom were non-handicapped righteously wise with limited financial resources, and five of whom were handicapped wicked fools - disabled with pre-existing conditions because of their own willfully-inflicted, deliberate and arrogant, disbelieving negligence:

Matthew 25:1 "Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forward to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom delayed, they all dozed and slept.
6 And at midnight there was made a shout: `Hey, the bridegroom comes; y'all go out to meet him.'
7 Then all those virgins got up and lit their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, `Give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.'
9 But the wise answered, saying, `Not so, because there be not enough for us and you; but y'all rather go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, `Lord, Lord, open to us!'
12 But he answered and said, `Truthfully I say to you, I know you not.'
13 Watch therefore, for y'all know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man comes.
