Those who practice Jacob's sins before his repentance as some kind of faith instead of practising Christianity.
The Lord fulfilled the law and the prophets. The experience of being born again is consistent with the old testament. It is evidenced in the testimony of Abraham, Noah, Moses and others; including Jacob. One day the Lord ignites a conscious that encourages you to live in consideration of His creation, other human beings as His prized creation and the natural law that says human life is precious. The life of Jacob indicates greed, jealousy, theft, deceit and human frailty before he entered into that new consciousness also known as being born again. It is a spiritual birth that acknowledges relationship with a supreme being. This acknowledgement is also indicative of most native cultures although language and the stories of prophets is a separate issue and the description of experiences in different cultures. This does not take away from an understanding of Yeshua and the purpose of His life to mankind. His teaching and understanding brings salvation in terms of the importance of accepting forgiveness from the supreme being and asking for forgiveness while we do not choose a life of willful sin although the confessed sin of a genuine error or mistake in judgement that may hurt another or yourself. Mind you, it is clear in the life of Jacob and also others such as David that when God has to bring something displeasing in your life to your attention, he will certainly get your attention. It took a while before David confessed what happened with Bathsheba although he must have known the answer in spite of trying his own solution. The answer was acknowledgement and confession. See Psalms 50 instead of letting the willfulness and guilt fester and turn you into a monster. Maybe if David had acknowledged it earlier, The prophet Nathan would not have had to show up and David would have thought of another solution such as sending Uriah and his wife away to the edge of the empire and keeping Uriah in his close command as a very well paid guard at an outpost, raising his wife and maybe a son. See also Psalms 51. Why did you David covet an 80 year old woman although she was very beautiful? Some have indicated in story telling that she was 80 years old for stressing the point that she was Uriah's miracle and unfortunately a coveted miracle one unfortunate day as seen by David. Yeshua lived, died and rose again to save us from the wretchedness of bitterness and unforgiveness. The civil wars in our private lives may become collective, society wide civil wars if we do not remember ourselves and what is most or more important. Go get yourself something nice at the cute global modular furniture outlet down the road and stop worrying about how he or she affords a hair cut every week such that you keep screwing up their stuff on account as you work as a client service employee at the company where they hold an account. Maybe they cut it themselves. What happened after that gay union court judgement in that amazing country? Do you have to watch yourself in sexual self-abuse on video before you get any civil courtesy from the government or otherwise? We pray that this is not so.
Anyway, Jacob sinned and hurt his family. The Lord brought it to his attention and he reconciled himself to the Lord. He also sought reconciliation with his brother. The point is he did not make it a way of life to steal from people or his family and to prey on stealing people's blessings, testimonies and miracles. Some people have turned this behavior into a culture in the name of Jacob's sin. But, they never graduate to Jacob's faith. Jacob had lived in ignorance initially.
It is demonic. The man or woman who follows this way of life in the name of culture is dead flesh, with a dead heart and is a departed, demonic soul. They are dead. Do you excuse your evil with some story that says you want to know if your victim is really that old school friend? Have you sat down with the friend for a coffee? have you invited them to your home or your restaurant and played 20 questions about grade school or High school? He knows the answers. He went on the grade 11 trip to Washington. He napped in the Smithsonian Planetarium before the stellar presentation began and hung out at 4 corners mall. Did you think that when he went to Queens in Queensland, Harvard or Liverpool that he went to some kind of Hollywood and somehow, he owes you something? But, for the last ten years, you keep breaking into his vehicle and stealing cds, spitting phlegm on the dashboard and spitting in his milk bottles
left in his SMEG(TM) fridge; so evil! You are dishonoring Jacob and the word of his testimony. It also devalues the testimony of his descendants such as Moses in addition to others and their miracles that are founded on Jacob uniting with the Shekinah Glory. if Jacob did not repent and reconcile while making amends with family, he would not have been the house of Israel. The path to being born again, as it must be made clear, is not based on practicing the discarded sin of a patriarch. Did you know Moses was a murderer? It does not mean your faith in Christ would begin with killing someone simply because it was a part of Moses' unfortunate experience. If you are feeling passive aggressive, then buy a camera and take some photos. Join an expressive martial art. Get the best score in a video game. Start a club called Mingle or "Love Someone with a coffee for two dates first" for over 20's(20-50 somethings) in your church. Did you know Charles Stanley( Pastor ) is a Christian Pastor? Read it again. In summary, cool Euro design modular furniture demonstrates that the wisdom of the ten commandments and a communal spirit that says I respect your stuff as you respect mine. Modular furniture stores could not exist on mass without the ten commandments as expressed in civil codes that presuppose the safety of property and human life; free from molestation. The codes is love because it is good for you. The other answer is a civil war but in the end, we will end up watching the "Book of Eli" as we rebuild everything based on the presuppositions that we fail to appreciate on a daily basis. Hold a door open for someone and as you do it, realize that you are loving yourself. Did you do this thing? Have a nice day!

Bellissimi!
White power will always need good black servants who can read a driver's manual if you shut down on the road or who can read a few other things like a Samsung contract about shipments of finished goods such as washing machines and Fridges from Jamaique where they will be assembled for Latin America and North America. White power, necessitates a black people since white people are never superior to any other population except Africans, African Americans or Blacks. It is only because Black people were the only people sufficiently divided in war in the middle ages and possibly sufficiently separate in their minds from other black people to actually sell another black person into slavery who was the prisoner of war of another tribe; usually in West Africa but it seems it was continent wide in large or small ways or else it would feel like modern day Vietnam by now as people work together as African or Asian. This is the meaning of black and white; no love of your essential humanity so be a color since dehumanizing another human being will dehumanize you. It seems it was a power issue and the gun or rifle since power is a function of esteem to some cultures so it broke the usual African self-estimation founded on the greatness of it's own continent-wide history that included Egypt,Moses and Yeshua. The best answer was to deny the gun but by taking the gun, they had to take the bible in Latin or English instead of the original African Aramaic or Hebrew. It was a new technological tower of Babel and it necessitated that you agree with the neighbor who is selling them to you. If you said yes to the gun but no to the word, you would be massacred as a heathen and then you understood a new power or equation for your self esteem. Not all Africans agreed with slavery; especially those who were about to be uh taken some where to be creolized psychologically if not physically since slavery is dehumanizing; come on baby! They were certainly human and functional, useful; bellissimo. Look at that anterior and post end! Wow! White girls sometimes have it. Capow! But, the men were the same size as white men or smaller. Look at the pygmy. The East Indians and the other Asians would not sell their prisoners of war into slavery; nor would the Polynesians. The Catholic church knows this. They studied the phenomena of humanity and had lots of time to do it after Constantine accepted the faith of Christ and established an official church. They were the first anthropologists. But, White people in the British Isles would sell White people into slavery and so did the African. Now, what are going to do?

Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main façade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house, though the original entrance portico survives as the main gateway to the walled garden.
Queen Victoria died at Osborne House in January 1901. Following her death, the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for theRoyal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. In 1998 training were consolidated at the Britannia Royal Naval College, now at Dartmouth. Osborne House is open to the public for tours.

[hide]History[edit]
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert bought Osborne House on the Isle of Wight from Lady Isabella Blachford in October 1845. They wanted a home removed from the stresses of court life. Queen Victoria had spent two holidays on the Isle of Wight as a young girl, when her mother, the then Duchess of Kent, rented Norris Castle, the estate next door to Osborne. The setting of the three-storey Georgian house appealed to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert; in particular, the views of the Solent reminded Albert of the Bay of Naples in Italy. They soon realized that the house was too small for their needs. They decided with advisors to replace the house with a new, larger residence.[1]
The new Osborne House was built between 1845 and 1851 in the style of the Italian Renaissance, complete with two belvedere towers. Prince Albert designed the house himself in conjunction with builder Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company also built the main façade of Buckingham Palace.[1] The couple paid for much of the new house's furnishings by the sale of the Royal Pavilion at Brighton.[2]
The house's original square wing was known as 'The Pavilion,' containing the principal and royal apartments on the ground and first floors, respectively. The principal apartments, particularly, hold reminders of Victoria's dynastic links with the other European royal families. The Billiard Room holds a massive porcelain vase that was a gift of the Russian Tsar. The Billiard Room, Queen's Dining Room, and the Drawing Room on the ground floor all express grandeur.
In marked contrast is the more homely and unassuming décor of the royal apartments on the first floor. These include the Prince's Dressing Room, the Queen's Sitting Room, the Queen's Bedroom, and the children's nurseries. Intended for private, domestic use, these rooms were made as comfortable as possible. Both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were determined to bring up their children in a natural and loving environment. They allowed the royal children to visit their parents' bedrooms frequently, at a time when other children of aristocrats often lived at a remove from their parents in nurseries, joining them occasionally in public rooms, rather than in shared intimate spaces.[3]
The 'main wing' was added later: it contains the household accommodation and council and audience chambers. The final addition to the house was a wing built between 1890 and 1891. On the ground floor, it includes the famous Durbar Room, named after an anglicised version of the Hindi word durbar,meaning court. The Durbar Room was built for state functions; it was decorated by Bhai Ram Singh in an elaborate and intricate style, and has a carpet from Agra. It now holds gifts Queen Victoria received on her Golden and Diamond jubilees. These include engraved silver and copper vases, Indian armour, and a model of an Indian palace.[4] The first floor of the new wing was for the sole use of Princess Beatrice and her family. Beatrice was the Queen's youngest daughter, and she lived near Victoria during her life.
Osborne House expresses numerous associations with the British Raj and India, housing a collection of paintings of Indian persons and scenes, painted at Queen Victoria's request by Rudolf Swoboda. These include depictions of Indians resident or visiting Britain in the 19th century, and scenes painted in India when Swoboda traveled there to create such works.[5]
The royal family stayed at Osborne for lengthy periods each year: in the spring for Victoria's birthday in May; in July and August when they celebrated Albert's birthday; and just before Christmas.[1] In a break from the past, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert allowed photographers and painters to make works featuring their family in the grounds and in the house. This was partly for their own enjoyment and partly as a form of public relations to demonstrate to the nation their character as a happy and devoted family. Many thousands of prints of the royal family were sold to the public, which led Victoria to remark, "no Sovereign was ever more loved than I am (I am bold enough to say)."[6] Writing to her daughter Victoria in 1858 about the gloominess ofWindsor Castle, Queen Victoria stated, "I long for our cheerful and unpalacelike rooms at Osborne."[7]
In December 1861, Prince Albert died at Windsor Castle. During her long widowhood, Queen Victoria continued to visit Osborne House as one of her favourite homes.
In 1876, as a tribute to Queen Victoria, the Government House of the colony (now State) of Victoria, Australia, was constructed as a copy of Osborne House.
The grounds[edit]
See also: Medici lions and Osborne Stable Block
The Prince Consort participated directly in the laying out of the estate, gardens and woodlands to prove his knowledge of forestry and landscaping. At the more official royal residences, he had been overruled by the Commissioners of Woods and Forest, who had official responsibilities for the grounds.[8]Below the gardens was a private beach, where the Queen kept her own privatebathing machine.
The grounds include a 'Swiss Cottage.' The cottage was dismantled and brought piece by piece from Switzerland to Osborne where it was reassembled.[8] There, the royal children were encouraged to garden. Each child was given a rectangular plot in which to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers. They sold their produce to their father. Prince Albert used this as a way to teach the basics of economics. The children also learned to cook in the Swiss Cottage, which was equipped with a fully functioning kitchen. Both parents saw this kind of education as a way of grounding their children in the activities of daily life shared by the people in the kingdom despite their royal status.[1]
In 1859 Prince Albert designed a new and larger quadrangular stable block, which was built by Cubitts on the former cricket pitch. The building is now Grade II* listed.[9]
20th century[edit]
Queen Victoria died at Osborne on 22 January 1901 with two generations of her family gathered around her. Although Victoria had adored Osborne, her children were less attached to it. Victoria's will left strict instructions that Osborne was to stay within the family, but nobody wanted it, so the new King Edward VII presented it to the nation.[10] With the exception of Princess Beatrice and Princess Louise, who both retained houses on the estate, the rest of the royal family considered Osborne as something of an inaccessible white elephant. The royal apartments on the upper floors of the pavilion wing, including the late Queen's bedroom, were turned into a private museum accessible only to the royal family.
[edit]
In 1903, the new stable block became a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne.[10] Initial training began at the age of 13. Studies past age 17 were continued at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. The College closed in 1921, with the last students leaving on 9 April 1921.[11] The traditions of Osborne helped inspire the operations of the Nautical College Pangbourne, after its founding in 1917. The NCP has now become Pangbourne College, but its students continue the tradition of wearing naval uniform, and maintaining certain naval traditions.
Former students of Osborne included Queen Victoria's great-grandsons, the futureEdward VIII and George VI, and their younger brother George, Duke of Kent. Another well-known alumnus of the college was Jack Llewelyn Davies, one of the fiveLlewelyn Davies boys who inspired J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The case of George Archer-Shee from 1908, who was expelled from Osborne after being falsely accused of stealing a 5-shilling postal order, inspired the play The Winslow Boy.
Officers' convalescent home[edit]
During World War I, the secondary wings of Osborne House were used as an officers' convalescent home—Robert Graves and A.A. Milne were two famous patients. Known as King Edward VII Retirement Home for Officers, this later included convalescents from military and civil service backgrounds, until the late 1990s for retired officers of the British Armed Services.[10] The Naval college semi-developed into the nearby T.S. Osborne Sea Cadet unit.
Osborne today[edit]
Today, Osborne House is under the care ofEnglish Heritage and is open to the public. The former Naval College's cricket pavilion was converted into a holiday cottage in 2004.
Since 2005, the house has occasionally hosted picnic-style concerts on the lawn outside the main house.[12][13]
English Heritage has a management contract to run Osborne House as a historic tourist attraction. The house's ownership since 1971 has been held in a private trust[citation needed] connected to Historic Royal Palaces, the agency covering, among others, Hampton Court Palace and the Tower of London.
Queen Victoria's private beach at Osborne, including her personal bathing machine, was opened to the public for the first time in July 2012 following an extensive restoration programme.[14][15]
