Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies! 🇦🇺 Had a wonderful family day out for a swim with Anzac biscuits, Lamingtons, fairy bread, damper, chips, and a Chiko roll. Family movie night will be The Castle. 😎🏝️
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Apostolicon, cf. Col 3:15)
Allow Christ's peace to govern your inner life and unite the body in gratitude and harmony.
YHWH commands eternal exclusion: "No Ammonite or Moabite shall enter the assembly of YHWH even to the tenth generation... You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever" (Deut 23:3–6).
Christ heals a Samaritan foreigner among the ten lepers, extending grace without barriers (Evangelion; cf. Luke 17:11–19).
YHWH's perpetual exclusion vs. the Father's inclusive mercy.
YHWH extends daylight for maximum bloodshed; the Father urges quick reconciliation and peace.
YHWH commands Joshua to make the sun stand still to prolong slaughter against enemies—no sunset until total annihilation (Josh 10:12–14).
Christ teaches: "Do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Evangelion, cf. Eph 4:26).
Oil and Water.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 20, 2026, historian Yuval Noah Harari warned that AI could dominate anything built on language—including law, literature, and religion.
He noted that faiths like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are "book-based," with ultimate authority in sacred texts rather than people. Judaism, he said, calls itself "the religion of the book," prioritising words over human interpreters.
Harari asked: "What happens when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?"
He argued AI's superior ability to process and synthesise vast texts means it could effectively "take over" these domains, as language is humanity's core superpower now at risk.
Salvation is by faith alone (sola fide), not Law. The Gospel, a new revelation from the Father, not a continuation of Yahweh's covenant;
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Apostolicon, cf. Rom 5:8)
Marvel at the profound grace; Christ died for the ungodly, proving the Father's love before we deserved it.
YHWH commands the Israelites to stone rebellious sons to death: “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son… all the men of his city shall stone him to death” (Deut 21:18–21).
Christ welcomes the prodigal son home with open arms - no punishment, only celebration (Luke 15:11–32).
YHWH demands filial execution; the Father lavishes mercy on the wayward child.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. (Apostolicon, cf. Rom 8:2)
Embrace the liberating power of the Spirit in Christ, breaking free from every bond of sin.
"Law of sin and death" refers to the Mosaic Law, which reveals sin but cannot save — it leads to condemnation and death.
"Law of the Spirit of life" is the Gospel/Spirit revealed through Christ (the Son of the true Father) which frees believers.
YHWH’s ritualistic stinginess vs. the Father’s effortless grace.
YHWH’s prophet Elisha heals one leper—a foreigner—via elaborate ritual: seven dips in the Jordan (4 Kings 5), while Christ heals ten lepers (Jews & Gentile) with a single word (Evangelion; cf. Luke 17:12–14).
