faith and Scriptures

Let love of the brothers and sisters continue. Do not neglect hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are badly treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.  

-Hebrews 13:1-3

One who is gracious to a poor person lends to the LORD, 

And He will repay him 

for his good deed.

-Proverbs 19:17

‘I was a stranger, 

and you did not invite Me in; 

naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, 

and you did not visit Me.’

-Matt.25:43

 But whoever has worldly goods 

and sees his brother 

or sister in need, 

and closes his heart against him, 

how does the love 

of God remain in him? 

Little children, 

let’s not love with 

word or with tongue, 

but in deed and truth. 

1 John 3:17,18

Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless...

-Psalm 71:4

The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

-Proverbs 29

For though we walk in the flesh, 

we do not wage battle 

according to the flesh, 

for the weapons of our warfare 

are not of the flesh, 

but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

-1Corinthians 10:3,4

Up to this present hour 

we are both hungry and thirsty, 

and are poorly clothed 

and roughly treated and homeless; and we labor, 

working with our own hands; 

when we are verbally abused, we bless; when we are persecuted, 

we endure it; 

when we are slandered, 

we. reply as friends; 

we have become as the scum 

of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

-from 1 Corinthians 4

Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

Proverbs 14:25,26

They will ban you 

from the synagogue, 

yet an hour is coming 

for everyone who kills you 

to think that he is offering 

a service to God. 

These things they will do 

because they have not known 

the Father nor Me. 

-John 16:2,3

“Therefore, behold, 

I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; 

some of them you will 

kill and crucify, 

and some of them you will flog 

in your synagogues, 

and persecute from city to city...”

-from Matt. 23:34

“My brothers and sisters, 

if anyone among you 

strays from the truth 

and someone turns him back, 

let him know that the one 

who has turned a sinner 

from the error of his way 

will save his soul from death 

and cover a multitude of sins.
-James 5:19,20

“Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.”-from Matt. 23:34

Be kind and tenderhearted 

to one another, 

forgiving each other 

just as in Christ God forgave you.

-Ephesians 4:32

"He that would make 

his own liberty secure 

must guard even his enemy 

from oppression; 

for if he violates this duty 

he establishes a precedent 

that will reach to himself."

—Thomas Paine

“Justice is indiscriminately due to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank.”

-John Jay

“Truth never damages a just cause”

-Mohandas K. Gandhi 

The only thing necessary for 

the triumph of evil is 

for good men to do nothing.

-Edmund Burke

“Those who expect to reap 

the blessings of freedom, must, 

like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” –Thomas Paine

“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.”

 –Martin Luther King Jr.

For years i have noted that 

the wild human being is indeed 

an endangered species, 

and that the indigenous lifestyle 

is effectively outlawed 

in this so-called ‘free county’.

-Blu

 “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” –Albert Camus

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

-Barry Goldwater

I think the first duty of society is justice.

-Alexander Hamilton

There really can be no peace 

without justice. 

There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, 

unless someone rises up 

to tell you the truth.

-Alexander Hamilton

against a person or property therein, he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or a dwelling.

In any prosecution under RCW  9A.52.070 and  9A.52.080, it is a defense that:

(3) The actor reasonably believed that the owner of the premises, or other person empowered to license access thereto, would have licensed him or her to enter or remain; 

In any prosecution for burglary, any person who enters or remains unlawfully in a building may be inferred to have acted with intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein, unless such entering or remaining shall be explained by evidence satisfactory to the trier of fact to have been made without such criminal intent.

(1) A person is guilty of assault in the second degree if he or she, under circumstances not amounting to assault in the first degree:
