News Weakly - 12/28/2024

Exactly the Point
Jesus, they tell us, was born into a "profoundly dysfunctional family." How so? Well, have you read His genealogy? Yes, Jesus was born into a family whose history included ... sinners. But ... which of us wasn't? We are all, then, born into "profoundly dysfunctional families." The Gospel writers didn't hide it. Jesus didn't hide it. In fact, Jesus said He came "to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). He came expressly for those of us from "profoundly dysfunctional families."

Trump, as we all know, won the election, so Biden, like so many, ejected principles and stood on expedience. The Dems were calling for more judge appointments and Biden vetoed the bill. More judge appointments would only be good if the Dems were doing it.

Denzel Washington got baptized at The First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ this week, and received his training license to become a minister. He's planning to fulfill a prophecy from a hairdresser when he was 20 that he'd travel the world and preach the gospel to millions. We know, of course, that fame and greed and pride and power all can consume "the seed" before it actually germinates (Matt 13:1-23), so we should pray for Mr. Washington.

After being named "Antisemite of the Year" (actual story), the Bee reports she was horrified to learn that Christmas was started by the birth of a Jew. In another Christmas story, Kamala Harris asked, "Ok, who got me the MAGA hat?" while Jill Biden stifled her laughter. Finally, ABC plans to run a disclaimer on their news shows saying, "For legal purposes, don't believe anything we say." I have to wonder how many other news outlets would offer the same advice if they were honest.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

Exactly The Point
I could only read so much of that article before the Critical Theory nonsense exploded my brain. We're told why He chose the lesser classes to follow Him, and it wasn't simply because they were "marginalized", but to show His power through the weak. Same reason God chose Israel to be His people. But He didn't limit Himself to the outcasts, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and Paul were all of the elite. And the Gospels give His lineage to prove His pedigree as from the line of David to fulfill prophecy, not to show His "dysfunctional" family. Reading that article made it seem that none of those people cited believe in the virgin birth.

Ever since the Dems ousted him as the candidate, it seems like Biden simply wants to give two middle fingers to the whole country before he leaves office.

I'm a bit dubious about this prophecy. What was Denzel Washington doing in a hair salon at 20?

I'm unclear on the purpose of this title "Antisemite of the Year". Is it to try to shame these people? Because if they truly are antisemitic, wouldn't that be a badge of honor to them, and if they're not, would they even care? Is it supposed to be some sort of warning to people?

“What was Denzel Washington doing in a hair salon at 20?” Getting his hair cut??

The Denzel Washington report was interesting to me. One should not underestimate the prophetic powers of hairdressers! Fifteen years ago, my hairdresser predicted that my natural hair color would inexplicably turn from brown to gray, if I didn’t start touching up my roots every 4-8 weeks. I have full faith she was correct. ;)

Just to clear up this odd question about hair dressers, he was visiting his mother in her hair dressing shop.

It was a joke because I can only picture him as bald.
