THE TEN COMMANDMENTS PART 2

 12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.

16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die.”

20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”

21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS EXODUS 2-17

 

The Ten Commandments

20 And God spoke all these words:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before[d] me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore he Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you..

OPPRESS SCRIPTURE FROM THE BOOK OF AMOS

 MEANING KEEP SOMEONE IN SUBSERVANCE AND HARDSHIP, ESPECIALLY BY THE UNJUST EXERCISE OF AUTHORITY.

AMOS :3:10 THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO RIGHT, SAYS THE LORD, THOSE WHO STORE UP VIOLENCE AND ROBBERY IN THEIR STRONGHOLDS.

AMOS 6:4 ALAS FOR THOSE WHO LIE ON BEDS OF IVORY, AND LOUNGE ON THEIR COUCHES , AND EAT LAMBS FROM THE FLOCK , AND CALVES FROM THE STALL ;  YOU LIE ON BEDS ADORNED WITH IVORY AND STRETCH THEMSELVES OUT ON THEIR COUCHES, AND EAT LAMBS FROM THE FLOCK AND CALVES FROM THE MIDST OF THE STALL.

JUSTICE IS SERVED AMOS 5

 But let justice roll on like a river,

    righteousness like a never-failing stream!

25 “Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
    the pedestal of your idols,
    the star of your god[b]—
    which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,”
    says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty

AMOS 5 DO NOT OPPRESS THE POOR GOD'S JUDGMENT ON INJUSTICE

 

The Day of the Lord

18 Woe to you who long
    for the day of the Lord!
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?
    That day will be darkness, not light.
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
    only to meet a bear,
as though he entered his house
    and rested his hand on the wall
    only to have a snake bite him.
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light—
    pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?

21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals;
    your assemblies are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
    I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
    I will have no regard for them.
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
    I will not listen to the music of your harps.

INDIGENOUS NATIVE LIFE PT 2

Indigenous foods are those that are native to each region, so they vary depending on your location.

Indigenous foods are whole foods. That doesn’t mean the Whole30 diet or the grocery store chain. It means foods that come directly from the ground or an animal.

Anything outside of that definition wasn’t around before colonization.

For instance, Food is Power shares:

• Plants like barley and wheat were brought over from other regions.
• Animals like cows and chickens were not native to the lands Europeans invaded.
• While milking animals wasn’t new, this wasn’t a common practice for Indigenous communities.

Any food products that are processed, or not in their natural state, as well as nonindigenous plants and animals are examples too.

INDIGENOUS NATIVE LIFE

 Indigenous ways of life and traditions are highly connected to the environment and the foods it provides. Long before their contact with Europeans, Indigenous Peoples populated the Americas and were successful stewards and managers of the land.

Indigenous Andeans, for example, developed more than a thousand different species of potato, each of which thrived in its own distinct growing conditions. Along with potatoes, many other foods—including corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes, yams, peanuts, wild rice, chocolate, pineapples, avocados, papayas, pecans, strawberries, cranberries, and blueberries, to name a few, are indigenous to the Americas. More than half of the crops grown worldwide today were first cultivated successfully and scientifically in the Americas by Indigenous People. Crops and other foods were exchanged along vast, distinct, and complex trade routes. 

American Indians traded, exchanged, gifted, and negotiated the purchase of goods, foods, technologies, domestic animals, ideas, and cultural practices with one another.

Many Native food systems were disrupted due to European settlement and the displacement of Native peoples from their lands. Then, for over a hundred years, the U.S. government issued foodstuffs to Native Americans. The food was unhealthy and substantially different from traditional diets.
