Don't need the LiFi to see what's going on. The only redeeming qualities of artificial modern lighting has been the infrared from incandescent. The flicker rates and narrow frequency band of blue light from LEDs, with zero infrared, is the exact recipe for agitating biological health issues. LED lights alone can induce Type 2 Diabetes.

The big trade secret about so many of these 'disturbing' cultural phenomena is that Indifference is almost all the time the most effective weapon. I wish more here would take a clue on that, then a large number of asinine shit posts would go away about people we should ignore anyways. Do we want civilization to move forward, or is it better to stagnate in petty mud slinging?
Your mysticism must creep into your ability to do historical work? There was no Christian mysticism in the beginning, the only evidence is from the latter half of the 2nd century when gnostics appropriated some Christian teachings and terminology, but were not part of the Christian community as handed down by all the apostles. And the "Pauline" system was completely in alignment with the first church in Jerusalem, the leaders (of whom Jesus' own brother was one) all agreed that Paul accurately taught and applied their same gospel to the Gentiles.
Agreed. At this point I still have no intention of voting for Trump based on this issue (along with his incipient Zionism). Big pharma and medical tyranny have devastated the well being of our society possibly beyond repair, its just that most people still don't know how bad it is.
No longer conspiracy theory but independently established fact that the mRNA tech utilized SV40 promoters to breach the nuclear membrane. Now read the history of SV40 with the Cutter Incident and polio vaccines. Turbo cancers should be no shocker anymore.
I’m just now interested in Christ but I still don’t feel 100% confident in them-but I feel that’s normal. Looking around it’s hard to believe a loving and caring god would let this planet get to this point.
This is not unusual for our time and place. You can read about the crisis of the Christian church back in the 4th century when Rome was being sacked and the whole world as they knew it was going to pot. Augustine wrote a book called "City of God" that meditates on the intentions of God and his spiritual kingdom that does not depend on the rise and fall of any particular society, nation-state, or empire.
Also, consider the faith of Abraham as described in the book of Hebrews; even though Abraham had a great many promises made by God directly to him, and God swore an oath by His own existence and character that they would be true, all seemed to be contradicted by Abraham's wandering, pilgrim existence. He had no land to call his own, no heir while he had an old and barren wife who was also doubting, and even his own sin and foolishness threatened the fulfillment of God's promises. The NT author to Hebrews says Abraham endured because he did not live by what his eyes saw, he lived by seeking "a better country"; the heavenly realm itself, not just a piece of real estate later called Israel. The earthly blessings were just a preliminary level of what was promised, they paled in comparison to the knowledge that God was preparing a heavenly kingdom and a spiritual seed to conquer all enemies including death itself. That's why Abraham was able to carry through his call to sacrifice his only son Isaac. He knew God would give Isaac back to him somehow to confirm God's promise (faith in a resurrection, i.e. life coming out of death). It's a truly amazing program of divine grace and power that we are called to hinge our faith on.
Yes, its good to keep in mind that not everyone's journey to faith is an instant, overnight crisis thing. Jesus is a patient and loving shepherd who may work differently in different folks. John 3 talks about being born fresh, born from above, but he didn't say its an instantaneous thing necessarily. Read carefully what he says about the work of the Spirit, His mysterious methods like the wind that comes and goes. But the takeaway is to not lose heart, be discouraged, or give up if all the answers are not suddenly clear, or if obstacles and opposition seem to threaten the cultivation of the seed that has been planted in your heart.
Regarding the command "sin no more" this happens twice in John and is specific to the two people Jesus was interacting with. In both cases, Jesus knew something of their particular circumstances where some manner of habitual behavior or living had resulted in their extremely dire situation at the time he healed or forgave them. So it is not a universal template on how anyone comes to faith in Christ and repents. The rest of the New Testament is consistent that the life of the believer involves a process of struggling with sin. Paul for instance never tells the churches he writes to for everyone to simply "sin no more". He says now that they have died to sin and been made alive with Christ, they must persevere in the process of putting to death the sinful deeds of the flesh, for this is consistent evidence of our new identity in Christ as a new creation, though we still inhabit corrupted bodies in a corrupted world. But for particular sins that are tearing apart the Church, or scandalizing the Gospel message, Paul gives the pastoral command to deal with it decisively (1 Corinthians examples: the petty divisions, the incestuous relationship a man had with his stepmother, etc. Galatians example: the false teaching to require circumcision and law keeping to be saved. Hebrews example: the temptation to return to Judaism for assurance of salvation, etc)
Of course making an unforced decision is involved in coming to faith in Christ. But unfortunately American evangelicalism has in some ways made mankind's natural ability to "choose" into a work an in some cases even an idol. I used to be in that world. It's a democratic libertarian distortion of Christianity. The NT teaches we in our natural state don't even have the ability to choose correctly without the regenerative and sovereign work of the Spirit upon the heart. Remember in John Jesus also told his disciples, "You did not choose me, but I chose you". Wait, what? They chose to follow him didn't they? Yes, because once they are no longer dead in sin and darkness but are His sheep (sovereign work of the Spirit), they hear His voice and follow.
Amen and amen! The more I study the bible from cover to cover, and see the blinding perfect glorious holiness of God's character reflected in the Law he gave to Israel through Mt Sinai, the more crystal clear it is how precious to all mankind that promised seed was in Genesis 3 and then again to Abraham in Gen 12, 15 etc. The Law came later (Galatians 3) to demonstrate that sin disqualifies everyone from obtaining life even through our best efforts; no one is righteous according to God's standards, even though the Law shows how righteousness and blessing must go together. We need an advocate and a substitute to go in the stead of God's judgment for us, to cover us and give us life by His righteousness according to the stipulations of divine Law. We can only hold out the empty hand of faith and receive the gift that was obtained by the bloody cross. And yes, works are absolutely necessary to demonstrate we are not playing games with God in confessing faith in Christ, but that we believe in our hearts.
Repentance is required as an inseparable evidence of faith in Christ. In Romans when Paul is presenting the legal argument for justification by faith, he excludes any form of "doing good" as being a part of justifying faith itself. That would include a genuine resolve to turn from sin. Think of all the examples in the Gospels of characters who have favorable encounters with Jesus, it is their faith that brings about salvation (A petition for mercy in some way, acknowleding their sinful and helpless condition). Repentance is the happy consequence of Jesus' saving act of healing/forgiving sins.
Well done, good and faithful servant! I might add one thing. This acceptance of Christ means a full surrender to His will.
Sir you need to reconsider what you are writing here. Salvation by obedience-faith is unbiblical, even if Roman Catholics teach it as official doctrine.
Please review the basics of the epistle to the Romans; where works (anything, literally anything we can do or continue to do to please God) and faith are two SEPARATE paths to being justified before God. One of those paths is strictly hypothetical, that if we wish to do well we can inherit eternal life on the grounds of full, perfect, and perpetual obedience. Or what you call "full surrender".
This was precisely the legal argument Jesus gave to the rich young ruler. He did not come to Jesus as the messiah, crying out for mercy as someone in a helpless state. He called Jesus "Good teacher" because he had moral conduct as a basis for eternal blessings on his agenda. He wanted to know what else must be done to fill out the required goodness that makes eternal life a reward. Jesus' response accepts the ruler's premise for the sake of argument. His response was not "Oh just be a disciple like these 12 guys here, do good make some sacrifices and follow me". Jesus in fact was saying this: you must be just as I am: give up everything (he set aside his glory to become a humble servant completely voluntariliy), sell to the poor (all that you possess and value in this life are now the property of strangers and even sinners who may not appreciate you whatsoever), and come follow me (literally, walk with me towards Jerusalem, to also be falsely accused, arrested, beaten, and allow yourself to be put to death purely out of self sacrificial love for your neighbor).
This "full surrender" is a higher standard than you can imagine. It means completing the same mission as Jesus himself did. Who is up for it? Show of hands? The answer is only Jesus did what could be done to inherit eternal life. That is the sum conclusion and fulfillment of the Law, loving God and neighbor so that one may attain life and blessing. We need a substitute (faith in Christ, redemption by HIS blood), we cannot fulfill personally what is required. Period.
Repentance is also not the grounds of justification, i.e. being accepted before a holy God. Otherwise Christ died for no effectual reason, if we only had to be sorry and do better against sin to be saved. We cannot mingle the content of the gospel with the consequences of the gospel. Those who are saved by faith in Christ alone, with no works added, no tears of repentance contributing to God's judicial decision, certainly will have new life and walk in a desire to please God and turn from sin. As evidence of justification by faith. But none of that is the grounds of justification. Again, read Romans carefully. This straightforward structural overview of the epistle I think would help clarify some things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar6PjL3quBk

In the meantime, let me break this down a little more, regarding cancer. same pathway same cause:
Circadian phase shifting results in chronic melatonin suppression.
Blue enriched light causes circadian phase shifting.

Melatonin suppression significantly raises the risk of early mortality cancers. This has been known for at least 15 - 20 years.

Now let's go back to T2D. Some little known history:
In 1922, Banting and Best found that insulin was the pancreatic hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism. What many people do not know about the insulin story is that ophthalmologist, in 1950 Fritz Hollwich, conducted functional tests of carbohydrate control on blind subjects based upon the methods described by Staub and Traugott. Their method involved a double alimentary glucose tolerance test given within 60-90 minutes. They found in healthy people the second dose of grape sugar, which was given when the blood sugar was already falling had no effect or a slight effect on plasma glucose levels.
In his first run of experiments on ten blind subjects using the above methodology, Hollwich obtained negative results deviating from what earlier experiments showed in sighted people. Hollwich demonstrated that light via the eye had an unknown effect on insulin physiology. His work was confirmed in 1953 by Fuchs et al, and von Schumann (1953) and by Wassner in 1954. Hollwich repeated his own experiments with larger numbers of blind patients in 1963, and again with the help of Diekhues in 1967.
After these finding in Europe, the insulin tolerance test of Radoslav became the gold standard. These experiments showed in all cases that in blind patients who received the insulin tolerance test, the blood sugar levels dropped far below the physiologic threshold they expected compared to sighted patients. Hollwich was the first person in the world who showed that the results of both tests indicated a connection between blindness and a dysfunction of the hypophyseal portion of blood glucose regulation. This finding is still not well known in modern diabetic research and diabetics with cataracts should be EXPECTED to have substantially different plasma glucose changes than patients without eye disease. This is also true for diabetics with AMD.
We now know, because of Hollwich et al, that insulin is a solar hormone and has a diurnal rhythm independent from glucose intake. Those studies were done in 1974 and 1975 with radioimmune assays by Jarrett in 1974, Lakatuna et al in 1974 and Lestradet et al in 1974, Reinberg et al in 1974, and Thum in 1975. Thum’s paper in 1975, in particular, provides the possibility of assessing the precise means of light experiments with normal-sighted and blind subjects that should be done. None have because of the food-blaming perspective. Most are not even aware of this work in nutrition research because they only see what they want to see. What happens in the eye and skin when you eat is more important than what you eat.
Very few know about ambient light’s effect via the eye and skin, but we now know the non visual photoreceptor "melanopsin" is in both eye and skin tissues, and the melanopsin system radically effects the diurnal rhythms of insulin without ANY FOOD in the alimentary tract. T2D is not purely a metabolic story tied to food, as you’ve been led to believe. It has more to do with light via the eye and skin because of Hollwich’s experiments in the blind versus sighted humans from the 1960’s. It has been seriously upgraded by the news we found on melanopsin in recent years. Most people still believe diabetes is tied to food and a gut problem. It is not. When the circadian mechanism is off, the eneterocytes do not turn over every 24-48 hours and this allows deuterium to enter the liver and this is what really causes diabetes problems most are familiar with. The process, however, begins with blue light exposure in the eye and skin, and this ruins the peripheral clock mechanism in the gut and liver.
Artificial blue light stimulates the anterior hypothalamus via the central reitnal pathways, by activating the PVN. Normally sunlight with blue light and red in the AM can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system while stimulating the anterior pituitary hormones. Subtracting out the red light and adding the blue is our modern problem. This means that all colors in the bluish spectrum – from blue/green through blue to violet at 400nm is a problem for the gut because of melanopsin and the Vitamin A link to melatonin function. Blue light via the eye or skin activates digestion and stimulate insulin secretion in the gut without the need for any food in the gut because of how melanopsin lowers melatonin by altering retinol function to ruin photoreceptor function that controls the human circadian mechanism.

The absolute first strategy for T2D is to fix your broken circadian mechanism. This is what all recent research in circadian biology points to.
That means addressing toxic blue light exposure, especially at night. Blue light alone, without the food variable, is 100% able to raise blood glucose and insulin.
Look at these diagrams below carefully. If you don't know what certain terms, concepts, or acronyms are, look them up and get familiar with them. This is how our biology works with the spectra of light in the environments we choose to put ourselves in.

I said Christian, not Israelites in the land of Israel, who weer under a special theocratic mandate to wage holy war within the boundaries of the Promised land only against all idolators. Temporal judgments were executed in Canaan, as YHWH established a holy place for his glory presence to dwell among a people set apart for himself. Because of his oaths sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
That theocratic order served its historical purposes, and was abolished at the coming of Christ, who fulfilled the precepts and holy sanctions of the Law.
Now we have Christians in America trying to equate the USA with ancient Israel with zero justification, and this new cancer called Christian nationalism, which is both an oxymoron and recipe for disaster for Christ's church. Christianity is not and was never the kind of religion meant to unite a nation, to somehow designate society itself as sacred. Jesus specifically warned against this: "My Kingdom is not of this world", "Render unto Caesar what is his, and render unto God what is his", etc.
Contemporary political communities, organized as nation-states, did not emerge out of Jesus' or the Apostle's teaching, nor out of the theocratic civil laws of the Mosaic covenant within Israel, but they come from the Noahic covenant which was propagated to all peoples. It contains a moral law but it is also pluralistic by design, and it operates via the common conscience of mankind, despite religious convictions.
But that's not a "strong Christian", that's just run of the mill fanaticism that disrespects the property of others.
OR.. can the "strong Christian" point out the part we missed where the apostle Paul (was he strong enough?) smashed the objects of worship in Acts 17, instead of him just engaging in public dialogue and declaring the good news of the one true God, right in front of their dumb idols.
Why?
We now have new data that reveals shifting the mTOR ensemble toward the catalysis-favored state will hinder cancer growth (see link).
AND: It turns out light is capable of altering chemical activations via photo catalytic conversions using optical photonics mechanisms.
One thing to note with terminology, "Poison" is not even the proper word, because it is not essentially a chemical fallout when it comes to flouride in the system. As you say, flouride as a halogen (like chloride) steals electrons, so it DOWNGRADES the ability of water surrounding proteins among our cells to store and transfer energy. It is a biophysical, energetic degradation to the organism. The full implications are known when we better understand the quantum coherence properties water chemistry is supposed to have within the functions of life (read the work of Mae Won Ho on water for more).
To give a very simple analogy, and/or experiment someone could conduct for themselves (caveat emptor if you do it wrong).
We all know the warning that you don't take a bath with a radio or toaster oven plugged in and sitting on the edge of the bath. Why? Because of the electrical conduction through the medium of mineral laden water would zap the person taking the bath.
HOWEVER, if you add enough levels of flouride to that bathwater, you are then safe from electrical shock, because adding enough flouride degrades the dielectric constant of the water enough to no longer conduct current. So that's the way we need to think about flouride in our system. Cellular water is the key.
of course clone theories also assume hybrid reptilians running the world. The intellectual rigor is truly unmatched in these exclusive exposes.
