Biological men should not be allowed to compete in women's
sports or use their bathrooms or changing rooms. Period. What about that logic is so hard for the governor of Maine to understand? Makes me ashamed to be a Mainer that she's openly defying Trump's orders. Most Mainers agree with President Trump and Maine shouldn't be tarnished with such a disgraceful lawsuit. We must protect our girls in sports!
Rudyard Kipling may have been a “celebrated author”, but the quote you provide from him comparing her to a good cigar leaves much to be desired and I must say is not in keeping with the rest of your piece on womanhood.
Nor, it seems to me, is the UK Supreme Court, either, the best place to go for a wise perspective on women or the relationship men man have with her.
Coincidentally, just this morning, I read a quote from Matthew Henry, best known for his 6 volume Commentary on The Whole Bible, where he stresses the literal, practical and comforting aspects of Gods Word rather than dry theology.
Permit me to provide that quote:
“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”
I can’t help but wonder if Kipling really understood this, or if reading him would lead one to understand or embrace such precious thoughts.
I say that for a variety of reasons, and one of them is that, at one time, when much younger, having bought into the supposedly “masculine” idea of a “good cigar”, I eagerly per-took of same, expecting a rare treat.
It took several days to get the disgusting, persistent and exceedingly foul taste out of my mouth and the cough reflex alone, afforded by trying to inhale the poisons contained in the smoke should have been sufficient to alert me to the cultural idiocy of believing in such a thing as a “good cigar”.
But such is the power bad companions and popular opinion!
Again, the words of a man taught by Word and Spirit, rather than the culture of the world:
“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side, to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”
And ironically, cigars have a really foul Odor, literally, as well as metaphorically.
Indeed everything about them is disagreeable to reason and common courtesy making them a very model blind self indulgence and therefore the very opposite of true masculinity.
I don't smoke....... anything. However when I get a whiff of cigar smoke it takes me back to my childhood when my grandfather would light one up every night after dinner. These were good times and I cherish them. To me the nostalgia represents love and a sanctuary. They were among the best times of my life. Oddly, cigarette smoke turns my stomach. Marijuana smoke smells like an old dirty horse barn. I often wonder how people put that crap up to their lips.
The biblical context relates to a long time past when a MAN wrote a text (claiming divine inspiration) that today is considered to be totally misogynistic and therefor not a credible reference to what is simply a common sense issue. Men are males and women are females. The only exceptions are those who are clinically hermaphrodites displaying variable secondary sexual characteristics and abnormal chromosome patterns. Their circumstance is determined by clinical and laboratory examination. Ultimately their chromosome pattern cannot be changed regardless of their choice of lifestyle.
All scripture is God-breathed (grk.: theopneustos) and is profitable for: doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, (2Tim. 3:16) for The Word of God is alive and powerful, piercing even to the division of the joints and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12). Study it to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. (2 Tim. 2:15).
That is what The Bible’s declares about its Source, its content, its value, its proper treatment, and the results to be expected if one applies that declaration to oneself.
Ignore it at your eternal peril, dear friend, for it speaks to all; both to those “with ears to hear”, and to those “who hear and do not understand, and see, but perceive not”.
Surely cigars are foul and toxic. Tobacco is best used as a poultice for insect bites.
On the other hand, when it comes to the Bible and the creation of humans you are repeating a very common misinterpretation. Adam and Eve are clearly not identified as the first humans. In the following I will explain how that is not accurate. According to the Bible (ESV), on the sixth and last day of creation, God creates humans:
"{1:27} So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. {1:28} And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' {1:29} And God said, 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.'"
Next, chapter two begins by discussing the seventh day, a day of rest. This day is blessed and made into a holy day:
"{2:1} Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. {2:2} And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. {2:3} So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation."
Next, the creation process is summarized in a strange way that ends with, “…there was no man to work the ground.” Surely it's reasonable to presume that the Original-People (or pre-adamic people, meaning people created before Adam) were created on the sixth day and these people don’t work or till the ground. Civilized people work the ground. Original-People simply gather their food as it’s provided to them in accordance with Chapter One:
"{1:29} And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.”
Later, once God had rested and reviewed the results of creation, the Creator noticed that there was no man to work the ground. Why is this important enough to expressly point it out? Identifying a man by calling him “a man who works the ground,” would fit a civilized man in two ways. First of all, civilized humans work or till the ground, while Original-People don’t. Secondly, civilized people are divisive, and working the ground is also divisive. When working the ground, soil is split apart and turned over to break it into separate little pieces. In a similar way, divisive civilized people divide humans, making them believe they are individuals who are separate from one another.
By the way, I talked to 3 anthropologists who directly studied Original-People and found them to be in a state of oneness consciousness without exhibiting traits of individuality but instead working together without needing to talk as if they were all one organism. This is clearly quite different than civilized humans.
Back to the Bible we find that God forms Adam from the ground:
"{2:7} then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground"
Presumably he is made to till the ground. However, since he is made of ground, it could be argued that he was allegorically made to till men. Apparently, when God rested on day seven, he must have become aware of the oneness perspective held by the pre-adamic people from the sixth day of creation. Then, to make everyone into separate individuals, God makes Adam to be the first divisive human, a tiller of the ground and divider of people. In fact, when Adam and Eve are escorted out of the garden by God Adam is confirmed to be a worker of the ground:
"{3:23} God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken”
This clearly links back to the beginning of Chapter Two, where it states, “there was no man to work the ground.” At this point Adam has been molded by God and lured by the serpent into being a worker of the ground. As such, the Garden of Eden story doesn’t appear to be an accidental fall of man; rather, it appears that Adam was intentionally
lured away from the original way of life followed by the pre-adamic people and away from his Soul, symbolized by the Tree of Life, toward a Pragmatic civilized lifestyle aligned with the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Adam and Eve were not the first people, but they were the first Pragmatic civilized people. Their important purpose was to individualize the pre-adamic people created in Chapter One.To maneuver this innocent couple into this situation, an external
serpent lured the couple away from their Souls’ inner guidance, symbolized by the Tree of Life which was located in the center of the Garden linking it to their central hearts.
Instead, they follow the serpent's advice to align with tree of knowledge of good and evil which links to the divisive nature of civilization.
There is much more to all of this including female versus male leadership, Cane killing Able, Cane finding a woman in the land of Nod who must have been a pre-adamic woman, and Cane building Enoch, the first city...
It's all covered in Chapter 13: Support from Genesis, located in my book "The Magnificent Soul: The Art of Living in a World Founded on Consciousness". That book is free to download or purchase as a paperback here:
Blindness to spiritual truth is an exceedingly interesting thing to observe.
While can and does appear in those with various levels of natural intellectual gifted ness, it seems to afflicted more often and more powerfully, those with superior intellectual gifts and training.
A case in point, by no accident, would be the apostle Paul. And, by Divine design, this would be so that we might learn what is usually required in order to humble those who are very proud of their learning and natural gifts, and who wrongly purport to speak for God.
Such people usually require a humbling experience such as we see Paul was blessed with on the Damascus road in order that they might be made reachable, having been shown a bit of their pride and rank stupidity by the direct, supernatural intervention of God Himself.
There are very many in this age of “the great apostasy” who teach “doctrines of demons”, as Paul put it, when, after being shown his blindness, he became teachable, and a true, rather than false, teacher and servant of God, and began to warn of false religion.
May he bless you with such an experience, my dear friend, would be my first, last and only reply.
Thank you for your blessing. However, I came to the conclusion that my intellect is quite feeble and gullible many years ago. On the contrary, I follow my intuition and conscience that James the Just, Jesus brother, identifies as the implanted word in the Book of James chapter 1 (ESV):
"Hearing and Doing the Word
"19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
"22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
"26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless."
James’ advice to “receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” corresponds to listening to our intuition and conscience. Obviously, the implanted word isn’t written in a book; rather, it’s planted inside ourselves and it pertains to the present moment. Then, James’ advice to “be doers of the word, and not hearers only” corresponds to following the guidance that arises as intuition and conscience. Finally, in the last line, James states that a person who “deceives his heart” has a worthless religion. Thus, people who ignore their inner guidance that emerges from their heart to arrogantly follow their ego mind’s choices have a worthless religion. James appears to propose that following the implanted word is the most important thing a person can do to save their soul.
Because most Christians have been taught that God’s word is written in the Bible, many undervalue the implanted word that comes from inside themselves. Focusing on a book rather than listening to their hearts means the intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is lost. Hence, following a book leads people away from righteousness and toward wickedness.
While some people revere the Catholic Church, others estimate that Catholicism is responsible for over 70 million murders. Many of those involved torture, burning people alive, and so on.
My implanted word has guided me to ignore Paul and his deceptions.
On the other hand, in Matthew 5:3-5 (ESV) Jesus is reported to have said:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs shall be the kingdom of heaven. . . . Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth."
Being “poor in spirit” would fit people who have turned away from the Holy Spirit who provides the implanted word that must be heard and followed.
In Psalm 37 King David clarifies who the righteous are:
"30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. 32 The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death. 33 The LORD will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off."
In King David's Psalm 37 the meek and righteous are shown to be equivalent with both inheriting the Earth. Conversely, the wicked are removed.
Therefore, it appears that the Holy Bible is prophesying the wicked or poor in spirit will be removed while the meek/righteous who follow the law of their God who resides in their heart will inherit the Earth.
I found that the scriptures of all the popular religions convey this message. However, in all cases that is not what the scriptures focus on. Instead, this precious message is a rare jewel that the Holy Spirit in my heart guided me to discover.
My books focus on helping the reader to open and follow the Holy Spirit in their heart as that guidance emerges as our conscience and intuition. Meanwhile our intellect is certainly feeble and gullible.
So, I hope you find a way to follow your heart with meekness so you can inherit the Earth to experience the full blossoming of love. Be Well.
Why have more women in power not come out in support of common sense?
Because they are almost all feminists that believe that women are the equal of men in everything with no exceptions, the sexes are not partners to them where the strengths of one make up for the weaknesses of the other but rather the sexes are completely interchangeable. If they are not only willing to swallow this patent lie but are also ready to push that lie at every opportunity and most of them owe their positions to that lie not because of proven skills that no one could disagree with but because of quota systems brought in to gain women's votes then of course they are not going to attack men who put on a dress and agree with them that men and women are interchangeable.
Feminism is the foundation of the modern trans movement which has totally swamped the tiny number of people that have always had genuine, i.e. physical/chemical imbalances that any decent society or individual tries to help them with.
"Feminism is the foundation of the modern trans movement"
Actually John, it is the false patriarchy that was socially engineered into our society that creates the condition where a proportionately small group can control an entire population of 7 billion humans by destabilizing the population and disempowering the males.
That's how the Evil can control and manage the herd and create transhumanism, transgender, disease, genocide and war. By destabilizing the population and disempowering the males. And the false patriarchy does that.
How many victims (I use that word very carefully) of Trans Mutilation & Hormone Death are left in the ashes of this dreadful social experiment? Hundreds... of thousands? Bowels leaking into neo-vaginas, the STENCH! OMG... Bodies twisted hormonally into shapes that will never return to any normal. Oh, The Horror. AND the toll on Mental Health? Incalculable, these people will face scorn & revulsion for the rest of their lives, on TOP of a forever BigPharma regimen. Brought to you by Medical Doctors who worship Satan, offerings to Hell. BIGSICK is Evil.
After a morning of reading several NYT articles, it is so refreshing to read plain old common sense pieces. Like it once was before Obama began his indoctrination of America. Hope & change. No hope but plenty of change! Trump, with his flaws is trying hard to bring America back! It needs a fearless bull. Some things will get broken, but I believe he & his gang will get it done
I’m glad the UK Supreme Court came to the right decision, but I wonder if it was because the Muslim politicians and population put pressure on them. I’ve often wondered which side would win in a Muslims v. Woke-ists/ Socialists scenario.
It is a great step to recognize that the 'protected characteristic' of being a woman is defined by biological sex. It would be better though to not use the concept of 'protected characteristics' at all and rewrite all such laws and guidelines in a way that is inclusive to all, not just to the ones with a 'characteristic,' as is argued here:
I always defend women because I am not a feminist. I speak out always about the obvious and also the killing of women through abortion so a woman killing her girl (another potential woman that would never became something else) in the womb. Women against women and that is why men rule the world because men are loyal to each other it doesn't matter if they know the man who has been criticized they will stand up for other men. Women are easy to indoctrinate as the state of women affairs shows and I say this with sadness, some women are strong spiritually and mind but modern women had been indoctrinated that a sign of being empowered (a non-sense) is kill your own when historically women were the ones who protect lives and they were against wars, unnecessary wars, we favored peace but what peace can emerge from a selfish killer?.
Biological men should not be allowed to compete in women's
sports or use their bathrooms or changing rooms. Period. What about that logic is so hard for the governor of Maine to understand? Makes me ashamed to be a Mainer that she's openly defying Trump's orders. Most Mainers agree with President Trump and Maine shouldn't be tarnished with such a disgraceful lawsuit. We must protect our girls in sports!
Now they have to empty out the WOMEN'S prisons of the 'MALES' pretending to be females!!

Because they are almost all feminists that believe that women are the equal of men in everything with no exceptions, the sexes are not partners to them where the strengths of one make up for the weaknesses of the other but rather the sexes are completely interchangeable. If they are not only willing to swallow this patent lie but are also ready to push that lie at every opportunity and most of them owe their positions to that lie not because of proven skills that no one could disagree with but because of quota systems brought in to gain women's votes then of course they are not going to attack men who put on a dress and agree with them that men and women are interchangeable.
Feminism is the foundation of the modern trans movement which has totally swamped the tiny number of people that have always had genuine, i.e. physical/chemical imbalances that any decent society or individual tries to help them with.
"Feminism is the foundation of the modern trans movement"
Actually John, it is the false patriarchy that was socially engineered into our society that creates the condition where a proportionately small group can control an entire population of 7 billion humans by destabilizing the population and disempowering the males.
That's how the Evil can control and manage the herd and create transhumanism, transgender, disease, genocide and war. By destabilizing the population and disempowering the males. And the false patriarchy does that.
All that stuff comes from the Talmud. Read it and then you will Know why so much of the Hate, Insanity, Racism and Genocide exist in the world.
How many victims (I use that word very carefully) of Trans Mutilation & Hormone Death are left in the ashes of this dreadful social experiment? Hundreds... of thousands? Bowels leaking into neo-vaginas, the STENCH! OMG... Bodies twisted hormonally into shapes that will never return to any normal. Oh, The Horror. AND the toll on Mental Health? Incalculable, these people will face scorn & revulsion for the rest of their lives, on TOP of a forever BigPharma regimen. Brought to you by Medical Doctors who worship Satan, offerings to Hell. BIGSICK is Evil.
After a morning of reading several NYT articles, it is so refreshing to read plain old common sense pieces. Like it once was before Obama began his indoctrination of America. Hope & change. No hope but plenty of change! Trump, with his flaws is trying hard to bring America back! It needs a fearless bull. Some things will get broken, but I believe he & his gang will get it done
I’m glad the UK Supreme Court came to the right decision, but I wonder if it was because the Muslim politicians and population put pressure on them. I’ve often wondered which side would win in a Muslims v. Woke-ists/ Socialists scenario.
It is a great step to recognize that the 'protected characteristic' of being a woman is defined by biological sex. It would be better though to not use the concept of 'protected characteristics' at all and rewrite all such laws and guidelines in a way that is inclusive to all, not just to the ones with a 'characteristic,' as is argued here:

UK SC…are you proud of your prodigious wisdom?
Better than the stupid Australian judge that decided people can change their sex based on a wish.
Stupid man.
I always defend women because I am not a feminist. I speak out always about the obvious and also the killing of women through abortion so a woman killing her girl (another potential woman that would never became something else) in the womb. Women against women and that is why men rule the world because men are loyal to each other it doesn't matter if they know the man who has been criticized they will stand up for other men. Women are easy to indoctrinate as the state of women affairs shows and I say this with sadness, some women are strong spiritually and mind but modern women had been indoctrinated that a sign of being empowered (a non-sense) is kill your own when historically women were the ones who protect lives and they were against wars, unnecessary wars, we favored peace but what peace can emerge from a selfish killer?.
Well done, John Leake. I have to say, this article warmed my heart, and cemented my respect for you, my friend. God bless you.
Bravo John.
