Proverbs 10:17
“Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.”
Of course, I was merely referring to the modern christians who seem to act shocked whenever something happens in a sinful world, for instance I see some being outraged when they hear that some hollywood performer has been found to be doing drugs, or has slept around. Or when a school board or some other board encourages sinful behaviour, the immediate reaction seems to be anger and lashing out. Our goal is to first judge ourselves and then our fellow christians, we are not called to make judgement on the non-christians nor the evildoers, for the Lord is the ultimate Judge of these things.
hail jezus!
Almighty Father, whose most dear Son, on the night before
he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and
Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it in thankful
remembrance of Jesus Christ our Savior, who in these holy
mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Luke 22:14-30 NRSVUE
The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it[a] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves, 18 for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[b] 21 But see, the one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. 22 For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed!” 23 Then they began to ask one another which one of them it could be who would do this.
The Dispute about Greatness
24 A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 But he said to them, “The kings of the gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; rather, the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28 “You are those who have stood by me in my trials, 29 and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Happy Good Friday to all Christian brothers!
May God bless you and your families!
Nope, America, just a name I chose
Remember the cross my dear friends, and not only the cross, but the man on the cross…the Son of God, Jesus Christ. For it is on that cross that our salvation was made complete, for it is said of the Son, “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned–every one–to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5-6).
Do not be conformed to the idea of this society my friends, who seeks to remove the cross from Christ, who seeks to present Christ not as the saviour, but merely as a doer of good acts. Indeed this is folly, for there is no salvation without the cross, no salvation without the sacrifice. Indeed in days of old, there was no forgiveness without the blood offering in the temple, why then should we of the new covenant receive salvation and forgiveness without a blood offering ourselves?
Indeed we live in a society which preaches a Christ of love, and indeed he was the most loving, and most holy, but, he was also a preacher of repentance, and why is it that he preached repentance my friends? It is because no man may see the kingdom of God without it, or is it not said by the prophet Isaiah in his vision, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” (Isaiah 6:5). The Lord is a pure and holy Lord, and in him is not a single evil thing…as such evil is contrary to him by his nature…it flees before him like a germ before a cleaner.
Yet without Christ repentance becomes impossible, for man is naturally inclined to evil and to himself, why should man seek the Lord if he so thinks that he himself is good? But with the cross my friends, we are led to repentance…for Christ was not just a doer of good works, but a layer of foundation, and the capstone of a great arch.
Therefore remember the cross, remember the sacrifice which was so given for your iniquities, and repent before the Lord, so that you should become a bride to the Lord. Let not the troubles of life cloud your eyes, but let the light of the Lord be a guiding lighthouse to you, guiding you through the narrows and straits of life, turn not this way or that for there lie rocks and assured destruction.
Blessed is the man who remembers the cross, and who seeks it with all his lifeblood, for he shall truly see the coming Kingdom of Heaven.
To God be the glory now and forever, amen.

Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your
family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be
betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death
upon the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
What kind of RP is it, with alternate versions of actual countries or NS nations?

Now there are two of them???
So far I have been having a blast on the RP. The options are all in your hands but the consequences naturally bring new options to the table creating a wonderful issue cycle.
