I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. The Books of the Bible Plucking Grain on the Sabbath 1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the sabbath; his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath.” 3 He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him or his companions to eat, but only for the priests. 5 Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests in the temple break the sabbath and yet are guiltless? 6 I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. 7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” New Revised Standard Version The words of Jesus (Yeshua) are in red.

Agape - Selfless, Unconditional Love Agape, arguably the highest type of love, is a universal and unconditional type of love that cares about others over the self. This includes love for God, love for humankind, love for animals and other beings. Eros - Passionate, Sexual Love Eros is the type of love between romantic partners.

Philautia is so important for this reason. Philia - Friendship Philia is the loyalty and support of friendship. It is the root word of Philadelphia, the city of "brotherly or sisterly love."

Two frogs lived together in a marsh. One hot summer the marsh dried up, so they left it to look for another place to live in. Frogs like damp places if they can get them. Eventually, they came to a deep well. One of them looked down into it and said to the other. "This looks like a nice cool place. Let us jump in and settle here." But the other, who had a wiser head on his shoulders replied, "Not so fast, my friend. What will we do if this well dries up like the marsh did? How will we get out?" #frog #twofrogs #well

A Mother Crab said to her son, "Why do you walk sideways like that, my son? You should walk straight forward." The young crab obediently replied, "Show me how to walk properly, dear Mother. I'll follow you." The Mother Crab tried, but could not walk straight forward. When she realized she could only walk sideways, she saw how foolish she had been to find fault with her son. #crab #mother #son #parenting #leadership

Hercules was once traveling along a narrow road when he saw what appeared to be an apple lying on the ground in front of him. As he walked by, he stamped the apple with his heel. To his astonishment, instead of being crushed it doubled in size and upon attacking it again and beating it with his club, it swelled up to an enormous size and blocked up the whole road. At this point, he dropped his club and stood looking at it in amazement. Just then, Minerva appeared and said to him, "Leave it alone, my friend. "That which you see before you is the Apple of Discord. If you do not meddle with it, it remains small as it was at first, but if you resort to violence, it swells up into the monstrosity you see before you." #Hercules #Minerva #apple #road #violence

A galaxy is a large grouping of billions of stars, planets, and dark matter that is held together by gravity. Galaxies form into three general shapes: spiral, elliptical, or irregular. Spiral galaxies contain a significant amount of gas and actively produce stars. The majority of galaxies are spiral galaxies. Elliptical galaxies, which can be circular or elongated, are often older galaxies with less gas, producing few to no stars. Irregular galaxies seemed to be most common in the early creation of the universe. Galaxies often exist in clusters. When two galaxies get too close to each other, their gravitational forces cause them to eventually combine. When this happens, existing stars generally do not collide with each other, but the gases combine to encourage the birth of many new stars. The Milky Way galaxy (our home) and Andromeda are on a path to collide in 4 billion years.

Cultivate virtue for a blissful and fruitful life. The 7 Deadly Sins & the 7 Virtues Temperance Temperance is one of the seven virtues. One can cultivate temperance by practicing self-control and fasting from food, drugs, alcohol, and anything you feel a lack of control over, even video games. We overconsume to compensate for our perception of not having enough in some area. Healing from past traumas, forgiving those who hurt us is the first step in temperance. Trusting that all is well and trusting in the abundance of God can remove the desire to hoard food or escape from reality into drugs. The opposite of temperance is gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins. Liveology Yoga Studios & Magazine creates uplifting content and products, sharing "More life. More yoga."

As to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “no idol in the world really exists,” and that “there is no God but one.” The Books of the Bible Food Offered to Idols 1 Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge; 3 but anyone who loves God is known by him. 4 Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “no idol in the world really exists,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 Indeed, even though there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 7 It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 “Food will not bring us close to God.” We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? 11 So by your knowledge those weak believers for whom Christ died are destroyed. 12 But when you thus sin against members of your family, and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.
