Smoked from 12 to 58...63 now ( cough, cough, mild copd now, v few cigarettes comparatively), but after 40 it always gave me tachycardia...and it was hippy weed, too. Regardless if indica or sativa. Idiosyncratic reactions happen in responses to almost all drugs, though.
And herb, plants, "natural" or synthetic, are all drugs/poisons at their core.
If something, ingested by whatever means, elicits a physiological/chemical change in metabolism, pain response, bp, hr, etc, it is a drug by definition.
Synthetic vs natural makes no difference. One's body cannot detect the source; it's just differing molecules to our electrochemical system and chemo-receptors.
Differing functional groups make the difference in how the molecule links into a specific receptor...or not, an if a response occurs or not.
Good example is dextromethorphan and codeine. Dextromethorphan has a methoxy group, codeine has a hydroxyl group, affecting their pharmacological properties. One tiny tweak. It's how they make designer drugs, too. Both stop cough, but only codeine gets you high. Codeine is metabolized to morphine in the liver. (Robotrippin is an exception to above) .
I babble. Not high. Straight is my high now. Better.
I was terrible at alghabra in jr high
Just good, old fashioned riddance. I love it.
Besides KJV , which takes real dedication dure to the level of English mastery our kids have, the ESV is very good and easy to read. More word for word rather than a thought for word translation.
Start with John and steer her away from salvation through Mary.
We can't know that "the team...".
We don't want to confuse coincidence with cause or vise versa or "correlation does not imply causation".
I mean, we, ourselves, can't know exactly why.
No offense.
This is a great explanation, far better than I could ever put to word:
https://www.gotquestions.org/elect-of-God.html
This refers back to the initial opening:
"Throughout Romans 9, Paul systematically shows that God’s sovereign election has been in force from the very beginning. He begins with a crucial statement: “For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel” (Romans 9:6). This means that not all people of ethnic Israel (that is, those descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) belong to true Israel (the elect of God). Reviewing the history of Israel, Paul shows that God chose Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau. Just in case anyone thinks that God was choosing these individuals based on the faith or good works they would do in the future, he adds, “Though they [Jacob and Esau] were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad – in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls” (Romans 9:11).
At this point, one might be tempted to accuse God of acting unjustly. Paul anticipates this accusation in v. 14, stating plainly that God is not unjust in any way. “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” (Romans 9:15). God is sovereign over His creation. He is free to choose those whom He will choose, and He is free to pass by those whom He will pass by. The creature has no right to accuse the Creator of being unjust. The very thought that the creature can stand in judgment of the Creator is absurd to Paul, and it should be so to every Christian, as well. The balance of Romans 9 substantiates this point"
God has reserved a remnant. The whole Old Testament talks about these so-called Jews who went/go after false gods, etc.
The New Testament , as well.
And all the things God/Christ warn about in both Testaments are exactly what the cabal and minions worldwide participate in. Molech is alive and well, in addition to innumerable demons/fallen angels.
Re: remnant. Look up in a Concordance, Strong's is good, the word and usage. It's used in myriad ways, but there are specific examples referring to His people.
Also, many times it says the Jews, THE Jews, will be scattered until such time that the number of Gentiles has been grafted into the vine, whose root is Christ.
God brought in the Gentiles because the Jews forsook Him. He called them "stiffnecked". He said he'd "blind their eyes and stop their ears so that they could not see, nor hear and not be saved."
This causes jeaousy and strife amongst the Jews towards the Gentiles, because they banked on their heritage, rather than their worship, acknowledgement and obedience to Almighty God and His Son.
He sent His Word (Jesus) to the Gentiles and here we are.
Jerusalem is the epicenter of all things worldwide.
Nutshell.
Is that The Ride of the Valkyries i hear in the distance?
Maybe it was that whatchamacallit effect! But my remaining brain cell(s) remembers reading it at Lawson's house because his mom let him have a subscription in high school! The subscription part I know is right!
UT lost all of it's cool when Obummer was in.
In the 70s, Playboy used to do a "best party colleges in America ". UT won a lot of times. One year they didn't, yet there was an asterisk...
- Sorry UT, professionals not allowed.* Boom.
My alma mater, but not Knoxville, yet we still held to the high standards of our peers. Now they're all MD's and other allied health professionals!
Wonder how they've/we've known about this since , "We have it all." and "We caught 'em.".
Lol....trickle, trickle....cutting the limbs off and headed for the root.

The whole context of the one snippet...
1 Timothy 6:1-16 KJV
[1] Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
[2] And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
[3] If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
[4] he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
[5] perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
[6] But godliness with contentment is great gain.
[7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
[12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
[13] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
[14] that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[15] which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
[16] who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Eff him. Demon.
Picks or pricks?
"Follow the pen"... hmmm. Things can have more than one meaning.
Is this called inciting anymore?
Oh, how my heart aches for you. To be so helpless to understand what in the world could cause such. I just prayed and will continue pray for love , through Christ Jesus, to heal your son/family, for peace in dad's talk with him and for your family's reconciliation with forgiveness and a new beginning.
I, too, was shunned by my daughter 5 yrs ago, reasons unknown. Haven't seen my 3 grandsons since then either. They don't even know me. I ask for prayers, as well. I did not mean to hijack your plea, but we're all on this same piece dirt together.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation and be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12
Love.

Thought this was an old Dian Fossey video from the 70s of a wildlife species in it's natural habitat.
White heat, red hot.
Still an understatement it seems. Perhaps he can come up with an even better, more descriptive term in due time. Lying liars of the truth gallows marchers sounds good.
Pope schmope is a con man for Satan.
Give that sh*thole nothing. Asheville is a festering scab on an otherwise beautiful landscape.
Covens, drug hub, missing children, the Biltmore (Podesta's pool paintings w red-bottomed children with wrists tied...Anderson Cooper), old, old money. 12 Tribes cult among others, cops on the take, ...
We only cross the threshold into Satanville if there's a really good concert, otherwise F Asheville.
