Re: upcoming album 'The Remastered Mindset'
If you believe in the spirit world and find yourself subject to a schizophrenia spellbind, life and the ensuing struggle will be much easier to cope with given the nature of the illness.
In my experience, at it's worst, schizophrenia can be likened to enduring Hitler's concentration camps; or, perhaps a better likeness would be the floggings of the legendary Israelites under the demonic ancient Egyptian culture. Either way you look at it, the now mortal enemies are trying to end your life by making it so miserable you will do it yourself.
If all things are to be revealed, what I have learned about my condition is that there are people involved in the affliction. My demons turned out to be a family I have known since childhood, making coping with circumstances much easier.
Using alternative to the poisonous medications treatments, orthomolecular treatments have enabled me to function to the best of my ability coupled with the prescriptions which sedate and dull the senses. My faith in the spirit world however, is what has lead me to the knowledge of who and why is responsible for the living hell. Faith that God is just and that in the battle between the righteous and the wicked, the wicked fall into the pits they dig for the latter. Faith that vengeance belongs to God who will repay. Faith that the hope that springs eternal is more than myth. Keeping the faith enables me to be the victor not the victim.

If you are surfing mdmphotographics.com on your mobile phone, be aware that the mobile version is rather glitchy. If it seems that things are out of order, if videos do not seem to match the titles or if there only seem to be older posts showing, try refreshing the page twice. Bear with me, but this seems to set everything straight. Surf on, surfers.

Science and Faith
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Holding to the belief that the earth is 6000 years old, some creationists draw from the scripture in 2 Peter 3:8 which states:
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
While this is a step up from believing each day of creation is the same as one of our own 24 hour days, I believe that one needs to take into consideration that our own seasons were given to us further into the creation process (Genesis 1:14) and that the interpretation of Peter's writings state that one day is as, not simply is 1000 years, showing that it is more a relative timeframe to our own. Counterarguments might point out that the oldest recorded living person, apart from the ages the first man and woman before the original sin may have been, was Methuselah at 969 years old. This would coincide with the promise that on the day the first couple sinned, they would die.
The problem with the scientific evidence as it pertains to dinosaurs could be that the carbon dating method used to date fossils carries a half life of 5730 years meaning that anything over the 10,000 years or so is speculation. Bring to light also that numerous discoveries of fleshy tissue and blood vessels in the leg bone fossils of some dinosaurs have been made, meaning that our science may not be complete. Perhaps the dinosaurs were what the King James Version of the bible relays as ‘great whales’. (Genesis 1:21)
Another theory of mine is that the dinosaurs could have been created alongside the vegetation to manage it’s growth, bringing new meaning to the passage “all flesh is as grass”.

Every November 11th in the Byzantine world we remember those who have served and those who have fallen giving their lives for our sake.
In the wars of old and the current battles against the inhumane, we honor those who take the risks for us, so that we may live our lives in relative peace.

What does it mean to pray in Jesus name? We learn from reading John 14:13 that whatever we ask in Jesus name, this He will do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Looking at the first Christian martyr Stephen, we see the connection between a true Christian who held a relationship with the Son as it was meant to be.
Although the apostles went about healing people and performing miracles stated as "in Jesus name", when Stephen was being stoned, he had a vision of Christ standing next to the Father and he addressed his prayer in Jesus name directly to Him. Where one translation of the bible totally botches this meaning by replacing God's title Lord with the Father of creation's name everywhere it is not, all others show the truth of this faith.
When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"
Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
-Acts 7:54-60
If you have ever called on God in a crushed spirit, or in desperation, it is easy to relate to this way of praying.
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss, yet will be saved-even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

A tribute to the indigenous children whose tribulations in the residential school system of times past are coming to light. Though the initial reports of mass graves by the schools turned out to be piles of rocks, the struggles of being removed from their families at such young ages are not lost.

In ancient tribal times, God's chosen people were instructed to execute anyone of their tribes who committed the sins of homosexuality and beastiality. The peoples who were driven from the promised land were done so for having done such like acts of abomination. With the manifestation of the Messiah and Christianity, the rules of mercy are forthcoming and though the order to execute was not restated, Christians were warned against such perversity by the early apostles, calling them deserving of death.
With the advent of the modern computer and the demonstration of just how ugly carrying out tribal justice is in our times, public opinion has in large part shifted toward the tolerance and celebration of the lifestyle. I, for one, have never been homosexual and will never value anything of the conditioning toward such.
It is easy to get swept up in the ingenuity of modern technology and lose touch with the grand scheme of things. Although it is not for us to pass judgement on these matters, I will never lose sight of the fact that although Lot bargained for the lives of the men of Sodom and Gomorrah, it did not stop God from destroying them, turning them into the Dead Sea and setting a precedent of things to come. Regardless of what may come from the lip of a satanic archnemesis, these are my values. May the demons of this world never succeed in their mission to destroy it.

This Easter or anytime, stick it to Satan and his media circus by helping the critically acclaimed series 'The Chosen' reach it's goal of seven seasons. This is the greatest series seen to date portraying the life of Jesus as He was when He walked the earth.
Contrary to the baby in the manger imagery that Jesus Christ is most commonly associated with at Christmas time, the bible paints a more telling and timely image of the Lord, albeit a commonly misconstrued one.
Whenever you hear someone say "the bible says", it may be due to the passage about the Word of God found at Hebrews 4:12 which states:
12 God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God's word judges a person's thoughts and intentions.
Describing the Holy Spirit aspect of the Holy Trinity, this scripture takes on new light when you consider the depiction in Revelation 19:13 which shows that the Word of God is a name that Jesus Christ goes by.
The subsequent verses found in Hebrews chapter 4 confirm this where it is written:
13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
(the face Christ made when I glanced at Him partway through conversation not knowing who He was, shortly after speaking out publicly against homosexual marriage.)
On another note:
There are some who in holding to the traditional view of this passage have quote James 1:22,
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
In becoming a doer of the word, we become followers of the Word, perhaps a more appropriate word for translation given the origins of this instruction found at Matthew 7:24 as part of the sermon on the mount.
24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
