For All the So Many Victims

                                                                                                                                                         ___   ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Every _____ is not responsible for every decision made by the ____________. The right to live free from fear in ______ should not depend on a person’s politics, their views on _____, or their religion.

Is that not true? Surely

We might fill the gaps with what you know.

The original of the above: In the light of the tragic Bondi murders, below was part of a  published comment - 

Every Jew is not responsible for every decision made by the Israeli government. The right to live free from fear in Australia should not depend on a person’s politics, their views on the Middle East, or their religion. 

George Newhouse, The Guardian, 15/12/25

I wish we all thought like Mr Newhouse.

Like Mr Ahmed al Ahmed. Thought.

May our authorities, late as it is, do a fine job now, and even better in our threatened future.

I think of the victims of Bondi, and October 7 and Christchurch, and Port Arthur, and the innocent in Gaza, and in Myanmar and Nigeria, and Sudan, and Congo, and Ukraine, and so many places.

The cry for justice goes up, and up. 

May the peaceful be blessed by God and the destroyers be restrained by God.

MARY PUZZLED; JOSEPH CONFUSED ! (Edn 2 revised 2)

Break off quietly ….?  Really? Divorce? What? Why?

Joseph the Carpenter seems to have been a decent man and a kindly one. He faced these troubling questions. But, of course, that is not the beginning...

Below is the core story, as we have it.

NO AI HERE !

I have not used intentionally AI anywhere in this blog. 

If ever I do use it (eg for image creation), I will say so.

I suppose it is possible images I use from Unsplash or Pixabay may include AI, but I have not noted any acknowledgement in the ones I have used.

To J udge NOT (!), to S E E, and to A C T (Edn2)

This post is untypical of me. I do not discuss here a topic or a passage. It consists essentially of the New Testament (NT) references which are relevant and instructive for the post title but remain in their original text order, not in systematic arrangement. Careful reading may avoid confusion.

VOTER NOTES Blog - new

UPDATE

New blog

voternotes.blogspot.com

I have removed text from my earlier post and pasted it in my new, specialised, "Voter Notes" blog, with revision and extension.

Specific separate posts re court challenge, missing ballots, failed voters (Bradfield, Barton, Cowper [Missabotti]), etc, and the working of our Federal system.

The postal vote story.

Also about proposed changes.

Why? EXPLANATION from 4 May 2025 post in main blog

HOW TO GET (Revised)

Printed Bibles in various versions and forms are available from many reliable on-line sellers. Some offer free postage. (Some also sell the New Testament separately.)

Will Jesus Really S A V E Just Anyone?

Would a drowning person accept help? 

We find it quite plainly said that Jesus saves sinners.
