Born in California and love the weather and scenery but not the political climate. I'm too old to leave and I prefer earthquakes to hurricanes and tornadoes. Like to blog, read, take nature photo walks, and sell books.

I'm old school, 100 % German by heritage, but my name was a gift. I'm spiritual with a firm belief in the Native Prophecy of the "Rainbow Warriors". I worked as a licensed massage & bodyworks therapist and have studied natural health for 20 yrs now. I am not a teacher but an awakener. I've walked a very different path and my opinions reflect that. I don't like republicans, democrats, nor most government agencies. I refuse to be silent at anything I find an injustice. My mission in life is to awaken and help others. And if I can make you pee a little, spit coffee thru your nose, or laugh, that's just a bonus...
Lover of all things outdoors 💚 I do not check direct messages so please leave a comment if you need to reach me. All photos and videos are my own. https://www.nakedblendsproducts.com/

I love Tony Iommi.
NO RELIGION PLEASE. Religions are a symbol of INTOLERANCE: they see themselves as bearers of an absolute, right truth, and that, as such, they cannot live with other truths. And very often they result in xenophobia and racism.
NIENTE RELIGIONE PER FAVORE. Le religioni sono simbolo di INTOLLERANZA: vedono se stesse come portatrici di una verità assoluta, giusta, e che, come tale, non possono convivere con altre verità. E molto spesso sfociano in xenofobia e razzismo.
The words Judeo-Christian are most often used to describe the biblically based religious, moral, and ethical heritage of certain western societies.
But there is a more complete definition of Judeo-Christianity:
"a belief system and lifestyle founded upon the principle of Sola Scriptura (by scripture/Bible alone). The Bible, in its entirety, is a complete and divinely inspired compilation of books written for revelation, instruction, and reproof.
God has a plan that has been consistent through history. This consistency is reflected in scriptures through God’s laws/teaching, the writings, the prophets, the gospels and epistles penned by faithful scribes. God's plan is revealed through explicit command and through stories about God's people. The personal and national examples of the faithful — Abel to Christ and his apostles — inform our understanding of God's purpose and His work in the world.
The Bible is a comprehensive life-map to both a good physical life and the only path to eternal life through Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Rock of our salvation, the Word, the Lamb of God.
Judeo-Christianity emerged into the English-speaking world during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain in the late 1500s, as part of the non-conformist Reformation movement. This specific reformation realized that both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures were authoritative and superseded any decisions by councils of men (Matthew 4:4; John 17:17; Matthew 15:3-9).
However, this current revival of the "faith once delivered to the saints" in this century traces its beginning to what is sometimes called "primitive Christianity" — the original ‘Church’ that Christ founded and the apostles who continued in that faith.
So this is a channel to explore the truth of the Judeo Christian scriptures, from the perspective of the faith embraced by the early Christians.

People often wonder why we call ourselves, Judeo Christian. Well, we are not "traditional Christians" Catholics or evangelicals or charismatic Christians, nor are we Messianic Jews. We are people who were once part of mainstream Christianity, who came to accept the principle of Sola Scriptura, who reject the idea of "dispensationalism" as being without basis in scripture, and view the Hebrew and Greek scriptures as a unified whole. The scriptures alone offer us a hope of salvation through an everlasting covenant relationship with God the Father through the sacrifice of our Saviour. But this everlasting covenant does not nullify the national covenant that the Lord God of Israel made with his people. So if you are someone who wants to "label" ideas and people, then Judeo Christian is perhaps fitting, as it speaks to our love of God's word in its entirety.
Jack Gunter is an Investor, Inventor, and an Author. He also writes poetry, songs, and composes music.
He has been an international broker, private investigator, a teacher, a delivery driver, a security guard, a psychologist, and has been and done many other things over the course of his life. He has started three businesses and plans to start many more.
He is married to a wife whom he loves dearly and has fathered two children and sponsored or been the foster father of others. He homeschooled his children and both are on their way to doctorates in their various fields.
Jack’s interests are many and varied. They include but are not limited to: Chivalry, Classical Romance, coding and crypts, God, history,
languages, literature, masculinity,
mathematics, medicine, music, natural science, philanthropy, philosophy, poetry, psychology, religion, high technology, and the Virtues.
Jack is also an amateur scientist with primary interests in epigenetics, longevity and senescence, physics, and Space Exploration.
His avocations and hobbies are; writing, hiking, the Roman Way (which he invented), physical training, reading, drawing, mapping, exploration, travel, role play gaming, and wargaming.
Economically he is an unapologetic Free Market Capitalist.
Politically he is a staunch and unafraid Conservative and freedom loving Classical Liberal (therefore certainly not a modern liberal in any sense at all) yet he in no way thinks politics will be the salvation of his nation or his world.
Philosophically he is Enoikeon and Teleothallic (a personal philosophy he devised for himself that is a mix of Classical Stoicism, Logic, and a positivistic American Frontierism and masculinity), and a Stheneticist.
Religiously he is a devout and pious Christian and ProkoTheurgos, so he is far more an Ancient and Medieval Christian, and thus definitely not a modern Christian.
Socially Jack is very friendly and outgoing, prone to making friends easily, and enjoys interesting conversation with others about their mutual ideas and enterprises.

Jack is a very Happy and appreciative man, yet he is also very restless, ambitious, and driven. He hopes to explore Mars one day.
Finally Jack has three Viking cats (that he loves) but dreams of the day he can have a bear, a wolf, a mountain lion, and a falcon to take the place of the loss of his much beloved Great Dane Sam. Sam was a helluvah beast and the best Animal Companion I ever had.
Godspeed to your soul Sam. Whenever I go hiking I miss you.
