God Is Able From These Stones.

On Sunday, September 19, 2021, I first noticed the picture of Gabby Petito standing in from of a monarch butterfly mural.  The colors of that monarch butterfly are black, white, and orange ( the same color scheme of the University of Tennessee Volunteers football uniforms ).  As soon as I saw that picture on television, I knew with some certainty that if Gabby was dead, then that picture meant that the Tennessee Volunteers football team would " die " ( i.e., lose ) to the University of Florida Gators football team on Saturday, September 25, 2021.  On Tuesday, September 21, 2021, the autopsy of Gabby Petito's body revealed that it was, in fact, her dead body, and that her death was a homicide.  The results of the autopsy indicated with certainty that the University of Florida Gators football team would, in fact, " beat " the University of Tennessee Volunteers football team on Saturday, September 25, 2021.  One important lesson to learn from this observation is that someone at Fox News Channel ( the news channel that I have been watching lately ) knew that Gabby Petito was dead at least two days before the result of the above-mentioned autopsy, otherwise, why broadcast the above-mentioned picture of Gabby Petito six days before the above-mentioned Tennessee/Florida college football game?  Someone at Fox News Channel wanted to flaunt that he or she already knew that Gabby Petito was dead ( before the above-mentioned autopsy ), and that Florida would " beat " Tennessee in college football on Saturday, September 25, 2021.  Who at Fox News Channel knew these two things in advance?

I have presented the above-given details so that you, the reader, can learn to pay attention to the details of the daily newscasts, for example, and engage in your own intelligence gathering ( at least with regard to college football games ).  The picture mentioned in the previous paragraph would be considered a miraculous sign.  The word " miracles " refers both to wonderful or amazing things, facts, or events, and to supernatural miracles ( which ceased to occur in A.D. 95-96, when the apostle John finished writing the book of Revelation1 — see John, chapter 15 ( especially verse 15, for example ) and 1 Corinthians, chapter 13 ( especially verse 10, for example ), for example ).  Specifically, it is a wonderful or amazing thing, fact, or event, that one could know ahead of time the outcome of the 2021 Tennessee/Florida football game simply by seeing the picture of Gabby Petito standing in front of the monarch butterfly mural ( though definitely not amazing or wonderful for Gabby's parents, for example, who are grieving at this time ( see Ecclesiastes 7:1-4, for example )).  This latter observation indicates how this sinful world ( see John 15:19; Acts, chapter 3 ( especially verse 14, for example ); and 1 Corinthians 11:1, for example ) tends to politicize someone's death, without truly being concerned that someone has just died ( see Hebrews 9:27, for example ).  We all are guilty of this sin ( see see Romans 3:23; Philippians 2:20, 21; and 1 John 3:4 ( KJV, for example ), for example ).  Unless it is a family member, we may not be overly concerned about someone's death.

For any young women who are dating at this time, at the first sign of violence, break up with him, and find a young man to date.  The husband is to be concerned for the welfare of his wife and his children ( if they have any ).  In 1 Timothy 5:8, it is written ( please read all of this chapter to get the immediate context ), " 8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for l members of his household, he has m denied the faith and is worse that an unbeliever. "  The Taliban are notorious for beating their women in public, for example.  It is clear that Islam is false religion, because Mohammed was a false prophet ( see Jeremiah, chapter 28, for example ).  Jesus is very strict, but kind, for in John 14:6, it is written, " 6 Jesus said to him, ' I am l the way, and m the truth, and n the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me '" ( Emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).  Jesus ( see Matthew 22:29 ) said in verse thirty-nine, " 39 And h a second is like it: i You shall love your neighbor as yourself. "  In Ephesians 5:25, it is written, " 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and h gave himself up for her. "  Broadmindedness is condemned in the Holy Bible, for in 1 Corinthians 4:6, it is written, " 6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,3 that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may u be puffed up in favor of one against another. "  The Bible teaches that broad-minded false teachers are vicious, for in Matthew 7:15-20, it is written, " 15j Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are k ravenous wolves.  16 You will recognize them l by their fruits.  Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, of figs from thistles?  17 So, m every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.  18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.  19n Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  20 Thus you will recognize them l by their fruits. "  Thus, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS-K are terrorist organizations, they are practicing false religion ( i.e., Islam ), they are broad-minded, and they are vicious people — they are not nearly strict enough.  As Christians, members of the church of Christ ( see Romans 12:1-8 ( especially verse 5, for example ); 16:16; and 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 ( especially verses 20 and 27, for example ), for example ), we are NOT terrorists.  We are God's covenant people ( see Exodus 24:1-8 ( especially verse 8, for example ); Psalm 50:5 ( KJV, for example ); Luke 22:14-23 ( especially verse 20, for example; KJV, for example ); 23:26-49 ( especially verse 33, for example; KJV, for example ), and 1 Peter 3:21, for example ), who simply strive to do exactly what the Bible teaches ( see Exodus 25:9 and 2 Timothy 1:13, for example ).  As Christians, we are friendly people ( see Proverbs 18:24 and Galatians 5:22, 23, for example ).

As Christians, members of the church, we are like living stones.  Only we are the children of Abraham.  John the Baptist said, " God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. "  Please study the Holy Bible.
