Omar Khayyam (1048-1131): The Poet of Quatrains, Drinker of Divine Wine

Citation: "Prepare silence for the divine word – If Heaven spoke, and there was no one to hear!

What do you think, dear friends? Isn't the true Bible the silence of the Father?

Grace, mercy, and peace be with you always, from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God, whose blood takes away the sin of the world.

Everyone should read Reverend Doctor Martin Luther’s clear explanation of the Creed! Here it is:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

What does this mean? I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them. He also gives me clothing and shoes, food and drink, house and home, wife and children, land, animals, and all I have. He richly and daily provides me with all that I need to support this body and life. He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil. All this He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him.

This is most certainly true.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

What does this mean? I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is my Lord, who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned person, purchased and won me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil; not with gold or silver, but with His holy, precious blood and with His innocent suffering and death, that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity.

This is most certainly true.

Lately, I’ve been paying close attention to the state of social freedom, especially freedom of speech. In China’s political environment, citizens may appear to have access to the internet and the ability to express opinions, but these freedoms are actually tightly controlled. The relationship between media, businesses, and government is complex and intertwined, and companies often participate in managing public opinion and citizens’ behavior under government pressure.

I use the term “Later Qing” as a metaphor. It’s a satirical way to describe a certain trend: on the surface, society seems open and free, and people seem to have choices in their careers or expressions, but in reality, power has become centralized. The government controls citizens indirectly through corporations. Companies, with government approval, can force workers to labor 12-14 hours a day in two shifts, leaving individuals with no real choice. What appears as “freedom” in such a system is often just a facade—a form of illusion.

This reminds me of the biblical reminder about truth and freedom: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

When power becomes overly concentrated and corporations act as enforcers of the state, individual freedom and dignity can be stripped away. People may live in a society that looks free, yet feel trapped in invisible cages, working hard and following rules without truly being able to choose their own lives.

“Later Qing” is not only a historical metaphor but also a warning: societies must be vigilant against freedoms being formalized and personal rights being stripped away. Even in technologically advanced and seemingly open societies, true freedom comes from citizens’ ability to choose their lives and express themselves, not from a fake freedom imposed by power or economic forces.

I share this because I hope to remind everyone: freedom of speech is not guaranteed, and what appears to be freedom can hide enormous control and oppression. Only by safeguarding truth, conscience, and dignity can society avoid sliding into a “Later Qing” state.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc (Are you 100% sure you're saved?)

Jesus Christ is God who came to earth from heaven in the flesh. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for sin. He was buried, then resurrected and is now in heaven. Put your faith in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ, which is sufficient to wash your soul from all sin eternally no matter how miserable you are or what kind of sin you're involved in. Let go of the faith you have in your own effort. "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:28) Only God can save you, but you have a choice. Your works (like trying to not sin, loving deeds, praying etc.) can NEVER justify you, nothing you do can make you righteous. You're corrupt and need to be saved. “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Romans 5:9) Only by trusting in Jesus Christ, in what HE did for you, your soul will be cleansed from sin and separated from your body, making you dead to sin. Jesus Christ can purchase you with His blood right now. You're just receiving a gift, salvation is not a reward. God has given you time to repent your sinfulness and self-righteousness. What do you choose? God respects your choice and punishes evil because He is good and righteous, and gave you this choice because He is merciful. So please don't choose wrath. This is serious. Your soul is eternal.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23)

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Galatians 2:16)

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

Jesus Christ is God who came to earth from heaven in the flesh. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the consequence of sin. He was buried, then resurrected and is now in heaven, the word of God gave you the faith you need to accept this gift "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17), so just trust in what Jesus did to save you, the blood atonement of Jesus Christ is sufficient to cleanse you from all sin eternally. "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:28 “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Rom 5:9) It's 100% God saving you, and it's not your own effort at all, but you have a choice. Don't put faith in your own works for salvation, (not sinning, going to church, praying, loving God etc. Your works can't make you sinless, only by trusting in what Jesus did, you become His purchased possession forever, no matter who you are or what kind of sin you're involved in.) you're just receiving a free gift. That's how powerful the blood of Jesus Christ is. God has given you time to repent. What do you choose?

Rom. 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Rom 5:9)

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

I live in the UK and as a result of political dissent I was imprisoned (with no charge or trial) and subsequently put on licence which forbade me from going into a church or getting baptised. I'm likely going back to prison in the next week even though I've committed no crime. This is just a quick post to alert the world to what is happening to Christians in the UK.

The Online Safety Act risks free speech, privacy, and innovation with vague rules and burdens on small platforms. Repeal it for targeted laws that protect kids, respect privacy, and foster tech growth.

The Online Safety Act 2023, receiving Royal Assent on October 26, 2023, aims to protect children and adults online by imposing duties on social media companies and search services to manage illegal and harmful content. It is enforced by Ofcom, with phased implementation, including child safety duties effective from July 25, 2025. However, the act has faced significant criticism for its potential to undermine free speech, privacy, and innovation, leading to calls for its prohibition or repeal.

How do Orthodox defend against Catholic charges that in order for there to be unity in faith there needs to be a central figurehead, like the Pope, to keep the Church united. Everytime I tried making a post or a thread, because I was genuinly curious as to what the Orthodox have to say (since I am considering conversion to Orthodoxy from Southern Baptist), all the Catholics would flood in and shit everything up and call the Orthodox phyletists and schismatics and that apparently something like the situation between Constantinople and Moscow over Ukraine is proof that there needs to be a Pope. So Orthodox, what is your defense against the RCs?
