The words Judeo-Christian are most often used to describe the biblically based religious, moral, and ethical heritage of certain western societies.
But there is a more complete definition of Judeo-Christianity:
"a belief system and lifestyle founded upon the principle of Sola Scriptura (by scripture/Bible alone). The Bible, in its entirety, is a complete and divinely inspired compilation of books written for revelation, instruction, and reproof.
God has a plan that has been consistent through history. This consistency is reflected in scriptures through God’s laws/teaching, the writings, the prophets, the gospels and epistles penned by faithful scribes. God's plan is revealed through explicit command and through stories about God's people. The personal and national examples of the faithful — Abel to Christ and his apostles — inform our understanding of God's purpose and His work in the world.
The Bible is a comprehensive life-map to both a good physical life and the only path to eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Rock of our salvation, the Word, the Lamb of God.
Judeo-Christianity emerged into the English-speaking world during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain in the late 1500s, as part of the non-conformist Reformation movement. This specific reformation realized that both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures were authoritative and superseded any decisions by councils of men (Matthew 4:4; John 17:17; Matthew 15:3-9).
However, this current revival of the "faith once delivered to the saints" in this century traces its beginning to what is sometimes called "primitive Christianity" — the original ‘Church’ that Christ founded and the apostles who continued in that faith.
So this is a channel to explore the truth of the Judeo Christian scriptures, from the perspective of the faith embraced by the early Christians.

People often wonder why we call ourselves, Judeo Christian. Well, we are not "traditional Christians" Catholics or evangelicals or charismatic Christians, nor are we Messianic Jews. We are people who were once part of mainstream Christianity, who came to accept the principle of Sola Scriptura, who reject the idea of "dispensationalism" as being without basis in scripture, and view the Hebrew and Greek scriptures as a unified whole. The scriptures alone offer us a hope of salvation through an everlasting covenant relationship with God the Father through the sacrifice of our Saviour. But this everlasting covenant does not nullify the national covenant that the Lord God of Israel made with his people. So if you are someone who wants to "label" ideas and people, then Judeo Christian is perhaps fitting, as it speaks to our love of God's word in its entirety.

I do find values from places others might fear.

Sometimes reminders of things about life have a person running away from the reminder to other diversions.
Some just don't want the discomfort returned.
Obviously (or not so obvious) I am not with interest to increase anyone's already too much discomfort.
However if there is willingness to endure through to an understanding, there are these subjects which if explored well enough with a goal of empowering can be of help.
Sometimes there is appreciation for a type of idea in this space... and then sometimes not.
But it isn't the idea offered that determines which. The viewer viewing determines which.
As long as I keep my personal intent clean (sometimes requiring razor edge discernment) then the posts themselves should be without harm... any harm possible then is harm added not by me.
The process of my posting and the viewer viewing is a cooperation.
A clashing should come if there is a mismatching of the ultimate goal.
My razor tries to (and kind of does ok to) present ideas which are clean. Meaning without "evil" intention embedded.
If any of that is encountered, it comes from a different source than where I am from.
Wrapping this post up, please remember the fact that we work within the physical, which means there is an opposition - to everything.
So what I am honest about, will seem to have a flavor of dis-honesty somewhere.
Well, ultimately the totality of what is, is what one can know totally is.
So any result of our mutuality is a sharing result.
100% responsibility.
Let's get this out of the way:
• No fake neonazis/Jewbashers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No fake flat Earthers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No bootlicking, fake or otherwise, until you can explain why YOU believe it's immoral for YOU to be the highest authority over... (are you ready for it?) ...YOUR life. (If it *is* your life... *is* it *your* life?)
• No preaching or quoting Babble verses at me. Odds are a quadrillion to one that I know more about it than you do. ...And we need to have a word about all the inventions, such as "God", that somehow end up inserted without comment into every "translation" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) of the original Hebrew texts. Because those contain not a single supernatural concept. Period. Not sorry. Deal with it.
👉 For the record:
I don't think either sex is "better" than the other • I comprehend that "race" is meaningless to any practical purpose in life • I comprehend that all religions are invented • the only authority I recognize is my conscience • I'm not a member of any group or organization.
Also, I don't believe things.
👆 That is the most vital thing to understand. If you can ennumerate for yourself and understand all the ramifications of that, we'll get along just fine.
By way of explanation, it's about being self-honest and disciplined of mind.
I've yet to ever meet anyone whose brainpower appeared to approach my own. I'm just going to say that from now on, being a little bitter around the edges from waiting nearly half a century to meet another like me and it still not happening.
I'm just not "your average guy". Never have been, never will be... can't be, in fact. I couldn't be normal if I wanted to. Thankfully, I've never had the slightest interest in being anything other than whatever I naturally am.
Sorry in advance.
Anyway, I'm The Archivist; I archive things. I always have.
If I make any kind of statement, I already have good information to back it up, ready at hand. I make up my mind about things very slowly and very carefully, usually after a deep and thorough investigation... so I'm not an easy person to argue with.
Again, sorry in advance.
That being said... I actually *live* to be proven wrong. Because being proven wrong means I become less wrong, or more right. And I want to be as right as I possibly can at all times... don't you? I have no resistance to changing my mind. But to prove me wrong and change my mind, you have to bring the only two things I pay attention to: evidence and logic.
Opinions and beliefs are fine for trivial matters like one's personal preference of ice cream flavors. For any serious subject, they're worse than worthless.

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.
