  1. I forced myself to watch footage from those nazi camps, so that I would never forget how real that horror was. Im sorry your grandfather had to endure that, or that any of your family members had to go through it. No one, no group or groups of people, should have to go through something like the holocaust.
  2. I would be dead without blood transfusions. When I was undergoing chemo, at one point I was so weakened from its effects on my bone marrow that I had to have 5 units of blood and 3 units of plasma within a relatively short time.
  3. The medicines (not vaccines) do not contain any aborted baby cells, but the cells, grown in a lab for hundreds of generations (cell generations, not human years/generations), were used in research.
  4. Here are some medications that used fetal cell lines during research and development. acetaminophen/Tylenol/paracetamol albuterol aspirin ibuprofen/Motrin Pepto Bismol Tums Lipitor Senokot Maalox Ex-Lax Benadryl Sudafed Preparation H Claritin Prilosec Zoloft Oh look here. The skincare brand Neocutis incorporates cells from a fetal line as a proprietary ingredient in some of their anti-aging products. In the food and beverage industry, biotech company Senomyx uses a cell line for research and development of new flavor additives. Companies that have developed products with Senomyx include Ajinomoto, Nestle, and Firmenich. The fda does not require this to be listed as using fetal cell lines and the flavoring is listed as artificial flavors. So its hard to tell who is using them. Buyer beware. Just to be clear, I am not in favor of abortion at all. I just thought everyone should really understand their uses so they can make proper judgements for themselves.
  5. On your picture it lists the specific lines of fetal cells. The first one, fetal cell wistar ra 27/3, was derived from a particular fetus aborted because of rubella, the 27th in our series of fetuses aborted during the 1964 epidemic. Aborted is also a term given when a fetus is spontaneously miscarried, without a forced abortion. The second one, WI-38, is a diploid human cell line composed of fibroblasts derived from tissue of a 3-month-gestation female fetus. The fetus came from the elective abortion of a Swedish woman in 1963. The third one, MRC-5, was developed in September 1966 from tissue taken from a 14 week male fetus aborted for psychiatric reason from a 27 year old physically healthy woman. Now you know the origins of the fetal cell lines. These are used, along with other fetal cell lines, not only in vaccine production but also in other medical research. If you want to refuse all vaccines because of it, you should also consider all the other aspects of medical care they are used for and boycott them as well.
  6. If that were true, it does not sound good. It sounds more like something forbidden to Christians. But there is no scriptural evidence that one can do that. Is that a belief in your part of the world?
  7. Bloodletting is still used in certain rare circumstances. I knew a boy who had a rare disease where he accumulated too much of one thing (I forget which) in his blood. He had to go to a blood donation center periodically to remove a unit of his blood just to keep him healthy. His blood was not used for others.
  8. Prayer is always the first course. If it is a venomous snake, you need to get medical help for antivenom treatment. If it is a nonvenomous snake or whats called a dry bite (meaning no venom was injected into the bite) then clean the wound and watch for signs of infection. Puncture wounds infect easily.
  9. You need gut bacteria to survive. Your intestines were designed to work in a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria. If antibiotic use destroys the balance, or even wipes it out entirely, you need to have them replaced. I knew of one pharmacist who prepared such a fecal pill to a patient that was going to die without replacement bacteria. That was over 30 years ago, so this isnt new or all that rare. It is a bit disturbing to the general public so its not discussed much outside of the medical field.
  10. They found a different batch at a second site. And the excuses have begun in the media.
  11. Psalm 120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace - It expresses weariness of a long-continued trial. This trouble is no new thing. It has been long continued, and has become intolerable. Who this was that thus gave him trouble is, of course, now unknown. My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace - A restless, barbarous, warlike, and marauding people. While those who surrounded him were maliciously hostile, he was disposed to peace. Psalm 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. I am for peace - It is the nature of the psalmist who desired to live in peace. But when I speak - When he said anything on the subject and expressed a desire to live differently - they listened to nothing; they were not satisfied with anything. They are for war - For discord, variance, strife. All his efforts to live in peace were in vain. (a) A man in such a case should separate from such a person, if possible, as the only way of peace. Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. (b) If his position and relations are such that that cannot be done, then he should be careful that he does nothing himself to irritate and to keep up the strife. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (c) If all that he does or can do for peace is vain, and if his relations and position are such that he cannot separate, then he should bear it patiently - as coming from God, and as the discipline of his life. God has many ways of testing the patience and faith of his people, and there are few things which will do so more effectually than this; few situations where piety will shine more beautifully than in such a trial; Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (d) He who is thus tried should look with the more earnestness of desire to another world. There is a world of peace; and the peace of heaven will be all the more grateful and blessed when we go up to it from such a scene of conflict and war. I am for peace, they are for war - The contrast between the psalmist and his enemies is only an example of the eternal dissonance between the spirit of Christ and the spirit of the world.
  12. Psalm 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! Woe is me - His lot is a sad and pitiable one. That I sojourn - The word used here does not denote a permanent abode, but it usually refers to a temporary lodging, as when one is a traveler, a pilgrim, a stranger, and is under a necessity of passing a night in a strange land on his way to the place of his destination. The trouble or discomfort here referred to is not that which would result from having his home there, or abiding there permanently, but of feeling that he was a stranger, and would be exposed to all the evils and inconveniences of a stranger among such a people. that I sojourn in Mesech - Our ultimate home is not among the ungodly. We are merely passing through, sojourners. Our home, our citizenship, is with the Lord. Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: The word in the KJV translated as conversation means citizenship. This verse is better expressed in other translations: Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, (NKJV) In Mesech - The Septuagint and Vulgate render this, “that my sojourning is protracted.” Psalm 120:5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar. (Septuagint) In Mesech - The people of Meshech or the Moschi. Meshech was a son of Japheth, who was the son of Noah, Genesis 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. The idea here is, that they were a barbarous, savage, uncivilized people. They dwelt outside of Palestine, in the North around the Black Sea, beyond what were regarded as the borders of civilization. They were known as rough, uncivilized people. It is not known that they were particularly remarkable for slander or calumny; but the meaning is that they were barbarous and savage - and to dwell among slanderers and revilers seemed to the psalmist to be like dwelling among a people who were strangers to all the rules and principles of civilized society. Meshech - seems to be regarded in Scripture as synonyms for the foreigners. Their land was a distance from Israel Ezekiel 27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market. Ezekiel 32:26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living. Ezekiel 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: That I dwell in the tents of Kedar - The word Kedar means properly dark skin. Kedar was a son of Ishmael Genesis 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, and hence, the name was given to an Arabian tribe descended from him. They lived a pastoral life, and dwelt in tents. Isaiah 42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Isaiah 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. Jeremiah 49:28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east. Isaiah 21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: Isaiah 21:17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it. dwell in the tents of Kedar – the psalmist is cut off from the worship of the true God. Mesach and Kedar - Meshech was a nation of Asia Minor. Kedar was part of the Syrian desert south of Damascus. These two peoples were located far apart. Both together are a general term for the heathen. These people represented the kinds of individuals that surrounded the writer, namely, heathen liars, and hostile barbarians, among whom the author of Psalm 120 had no true home. The psalmist bewailed the fact that he had to continue living with people such as liars who continually stir up strife, people who are against the Lord. We live today in such a world of people who are antagonistic towards the Lord. Living in such a world among the ungodly, we can identify with the soul that is longing for that fellowship with God.
  13. Psalm 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. Sharp arrows of the mighty - destructive inflictions. This is an answer to the question in Psalm 120:3, and declares the slanderer’s recompence; which is the wrath and vengeance of the mighty God. Sharp arrows of the mighty - The retributions of God shall pierce the soul as the sharpened arrows of the warrior penetrate the flesh. Sharp arrows of the mighty – Psalm 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: Proverbs 25:18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. Jeremiah 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. In the Jeremiah, Psalms, and Proverbs verses above, they compare the deceitful tongue to an arrow. In Psalm 120:4 the psalmist says slanderers will receive sharp arrows as punishment for their lies. The punishment is in accordance with the guilt. The ones who have sharpened their tongues like arrows, will be pierced by sharp arrows of the warrior The warrior is the Messiah. Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. With coals of juniper - The idea here is, that coals made from that would be intensely hot and retain their heat for a long time, and would cause more severe pain than if made from other wood. The word refers to a species of broom or shrub growing in the deserts of the Middle East, with yellowish flowers and a bitter root. The shrub sometimes grows so large as to furnish a shade to those exposed to the heat of the sun in the desert, 1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. Coals of juniper - The intense heat of this charcoal, and the proverbial length of time that it holds fire, render it a fit emblem of severe punishment. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper - Both expressions are figures for divine judgments. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper - Some think these words describe lying lips, and a false tongue; which are like arrows, sharp ones, sent out from a bow drawn with a mighty hand, which come with great force, suddenly and swiftly, and do much mischief; and to "coals of juniper", very distressing and tormenting; the tongue being a fire, set on fire of hell, and sets on fire the course of nature; and throws out devouring words, which consume like fire, James 3:5-6 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. But rather the punishment of an evil tongue from the Lord is intended, whose sore judgments are often compared to arrows, Deuteronomy 32:22-24 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. because they come from above, and bring swift and sudden destruction with them; and are very sharp in the hearts of his enemies; are very severe and cutting, and come with power irresistible, being the arrows of the Almighty. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper - The wrath and vengeance of the almighty God, which in Scripture, and particularly in this book, is often compared to arrows, Psalm 7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. and here to arrows of the mighty, that is, arrows shot by the hands of a strong man; and to coals, Psalm 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. and here to coals of juniper, which burn very fiercely, and retain their heat for a long time. The psalmist may possibly express himself in these words, to show the suitableness of the punishment to the sin. As if he had said, As thy tongue shoots arrows, and kindles coals, so thou shalt bring God’s arrows and coals, kindled by the fire of his wrath, upon thyself.
  14. Psalm 120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? What shall be given unto thee? - That is, What recompence can you expect from God for these malignant calumnies? A literal translation of this verse would be, “What shall the tongue of deceit give to thee, and what shall it add to thee?” - referring to the offender himself. The essential idea is, What will be the result of such conduct? What must be expected to follow from it? The Lord hates lying tongues. Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. The deceivers deserve the harshest of punishments as stated in Psalm 120:4. What shall be given unto thee? - What shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee, or, What shall it profit thee, Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. What shall be given unto thee? - It is more natural and consistent to take this grammatically obscure verse as an address to the tongue of guile: “What shall be given thee?” or rather, “What shall God give to thee?” that is, as a punishment. The question is put sarcastically, and the anticipated answer is brought out in the next verse.
  15. Psalm 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. Deliver my soul, O Lord - His soul is harassed and distressed. Perhaps the meaning also may be, his life is in danger. Or, if it refers to the soul as such, then it means that everything pertaining to his soul was deeply affected by the course which was pursued. He was maligned, slandered, misrepresented, deceived, and he had no comfort or peace. From lying lips - False, deceitful, slanderous. Lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue - From a people without faith, without truth; who sought by lies and calumnies to destroy him. And from a deceitful tongue - From a tongue whose statements cannot be relied on; whose words are deceptive; whose promises are false. David was often called to experience troubles of this sort; and this is a kind of trial which may come upon anyone in a form which he can no more anticipate or prevent than he can the coming of a mist from the ocean. No man can certainly guard against the influence of falsehood; no man can be sure that all that will be said to him is true; no man can be certain that all the promises made to him - save those made to him by God - will be performed. from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue - Not from such lips, and such a tongue of his own, which David abhorred; nor from the company of those who have such lips and tongues, which he was determined should not dwell with him; but from the malignity of them, from being hurt in his character and reputation by them; God can restrain them, and prevent the ill influence of them when He pleases, Psalm 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Such were the lips and tongues of Doeg the Edomite, Psalm 52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. and of Saul's courtiers, who insinuated to him that David sought his hurt, 1 Samuel 24:9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? and of the Scribes and Pharisees, that flattered Christ to his face, and reproached him to the people; and of Judas, that betrayed him with "Hail, master", Matthew 26:49; and of the false witnesses suborned against him; and of false teachers, deceitful workers, that lie in wait to deceive, and, by their good words and fair speeches, do deceive the hearts of the simple; and of antichrist and his followers, who, as they are given up to believe a lie, speak lies in hypocrisy; and of satan the father of lies, that deceives the whole world: and to be delivered from the bad effects of such lips and tongues is very desirable.
  16. Psalm 120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. In my distress - In my suffering, as arising from slander, Psalm 120:2-3. There are few forms of suffering more keen than those caused by slander: It is one of those things which a man cannot guard against; which he cannot repel by force; whose origin he cannot always trace; which will go where a vindication will not follow; whose effects will live long after the slander is refuted; which will adhere to a man, or leave a trait of suspicion, even after the most successful vindication, for the effect will be to make a second slander more easily credited than the first was. I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me - Made strong supplication for help. The psalmist had no other resource. He could not meet the slander nor refute it. He could not prevent its effects on his reputation, and all that he could do was to commit the case to the Lord. I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me - Although the author is unknown this serial form - trouble, prayer, and answer - was common for David, and his faith in God touching the answer, gathered from past experience, was the ground of all his hope.
  17. This is the first of fifteen psalms, Psalms 120–134, to each of which is prefixed the title “A Song of Degrees.” Four of these psalms are ascribed to David, one of them to Solomon, and the rest are by unknown authors. There has been a great diversity of opinion as to the meaning of the title, and the reason why it was prefixed to these psalms. In other bible studies on this series of psalms, I examined the diverse views scholars applied to the meaning of Song of Degrees or Song of Ascent. I will briefly post on it below. Song of Degrees or Song of Ascent - Also called Song of Steps. A title given to 15 psalms (Psalms 120-134). There are several interpretations of what it refers to. One such view suggests they were sung as one went up a set of stairs in the temple, unlikely, as at least four were written before there was a temple with steps. Tourists today often read the 15 psalms as they climb the Southern Steps of the Second Temple. Rabbinic tradition does not associate these stairs with the Songs of Degrees. Another unlikely view is that it refers to the step-like progressive rhythm of their thoughts. Other scholars suppose that the title is a musical term, and that the reference is to something special in the rhythm, which in the East would be called “steps” or “ascents.” Some early church fathers suggested they are traveling songs of the returning exiles, although many of them indicate they are meant for the temple. The prevailing view is that the hymns were sung by pilgrim bands on their way to the three great festivals of the Jewish year. The journey to Jerusalem was called a “going up,” regardless of which direction they came from. Exodus 34:24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year. 1 Kings 12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. Psalm 122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Many scholars refer to this collection of psalms as Pilgrim Psalms. All of the songs of degrees fit these annual pilgrimages. In reality, it is impossible to say for sure which is the correct meaning behind the phrase “Song of Degrees.” This psalm has no other title, and nothing to designate its author. It is thought by some that this psalm was composed by David, on account of Doeg the Edomite, because of its likeness in some things with the fifty second psalm: and certain it is that the psalmist had been in some great distress, and at a distance from his own country and the house of God, and dwelt among wicked men when he wrote it. It is not possible to know for certain who wrote it or under what circumstances. Psalms 120 is a strain of unbroken complaint, caused by the falsehood, deceit, and implacable temper of the author’s enemies, to escape whom he had fled into exile, and was temporarily doomed to live among hostile barbarians. In Psalms 120:1-2, he records his prayer in distress; Psalms 120:3-4, are a denunciation upon the false tongue; Psalms 120:5-7, his lament over his sojourn with hostile tribes. Its theme pertains to a sufferer who calls earnestly upon the Lord for deliverance. The particular form of trial is that caused by the tongue - slander. The author was suffering from some unjust aspersions cast upon him; from some effort to destroy his reputation; from some charge in regard to his character, which made him miserable, as if he sojourned in Mesech and dwelt in the tents of Kedar, Psalm 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! The psalmist shows the punishment that awaits his persecutor, Psalm 120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? Psalm 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. He says that it was in vain for him to attempt to live in peace with the men who troubled him. He was himself disposed to peace. He earnestly desired it. But they were for war, and they kept up the war, Psalm 120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. Psalm 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Among the forms of suffering to which the people of God are exposed, this is not uncommon; and it was proper that it should be referred to in a book designed, as the Book of Psalms was, to be useful in all ages, and in all lands, as a record of religious experience. In composition, the simplicity of this little song scarcely admits of separation into parts; but one may note that an introductory verse Psalm 120:1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. is followed by two groups of three verses each, -the former of which is prayer for deliverance from the "deceitful tongue," and prediction that retribution will fall on it Psalm 120:2-4 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. while the latter bemoans the psalmist’s uncongenial abode among enemies Psalm 120:5-7 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
  18. Just so there is full awareness. The vaccines do not contain any of the original fetal tissue or cells or cells derived from fetal materials. The cell lines continue to replicate on their own and no further sources of fetal cells are needed. it is common to use cell lines in medicine and medical research since the 1950s or 1960s. They are cells that replicate repeatedly so that new tissue is not required.
  19. I guess I am now a "victim." My husband had to work out of town. He insisted we leave tonight to beat the storm..and snow. In the hotel room I fell and it took my husband and the desk clerk to pick me up. Soooo embarassed.
  20. Live a life pleasing to Him, with a heart of worship.
  21. Romans 8 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Also remember that salvation is not based on our works but on faith. If works could save, we would not have needed Jesus to redeem us. The bible does not say thou shalt wear skins and a tunic. The bible says dress modestly.
