You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk." 45 Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, "Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too." 46 And he said, "Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them." --- # I am a Jesus freak *2026-10-10* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/10/i-am-a-jesus-freak.html I don't need the church to exist to be a Jesus freak, and I don't need Jesus to have existed in order to be a Jesus freak, and I don't even need God to exist to be a Jesus freak, and I don't need the power of the Holy Spirit to be a Jesus freak. Jesus could be some sort of avatar, a descendant of many other virgin-born messianic children, and it doesn't matter; I'm still a Jesus freak. Jesus could be a conspiracy to fool people, an opiate of the masses, and I would still be a Jesus freak. I could find out that it's all the Anunnaki, all aliens, all experimenters, that America is a terrarium and the Earth is a terrarium and the world is a terrarium, and I would still be a Jesus freak. The Bible could be fan fiction, the Gospels could be fan fiction; they could be completely derivative, based on other formative religious texts and works, or they could have been fomented to create a subculture of cattle-like pacifist people, and I could find all that out and still be a Jesus freak, because I'm a Jesus freak in spite of all those things. And I have aphantasia. I have no mind's eye. When I close my eyes, there's nothing there: no pictures, no faces, no light, no dove descending, no Sacred Heart glowing in the dark. All around me, people are tripping balls over Jesus. They see Him, they feel Him in their bodies, they speak in tongues, they get visions and visitations and goosebumps and tears. I get none of it. I'm mostly lizard brain. I look at the world raw, with no AR and no VR, no overlay, no special effects, just the thing in front of me. Nobody's pumping a spiritual light show into my skull, and I'm still a Jesus freak. I'm pretty sure all those things are true, and it doesn't diminish my Jesus freakiness one iota. --- # Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,15-26 *2026-10-09* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/09/holy-gospel-of-jesus-christ.html 15 When Jesus had driven out a demon, some of the crowd said: "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons." 16 Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. 17 But he knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. 18 And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons. 19 If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe. 22 But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." 24 When an unclean spirit goes out of someone, it roams through arid regions searching for rest but, finding none, it says, 'I shall return to my home from which I came.' 25 But upon returning, it finds it swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself who move in and dwell there, and the last condition of that person is worse than the first." --- # 2026-10-08 *2026-10-08* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/08/se-guns-culture-crime-policing.html S11E1: Guns: Culture, Crime & Policing in America [thechrisabrahamshow.com/episodes/...](https://thechrisabrahamshow.com/episodes/2026/10/s11e1-guns-culture-crime-policing-in-america.html) --- # 2026-10-08 *2026-10-08* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/08/every-conservative-and-republican-would.html Every conservative and Republican would agree with Malcolm Gladwell about having 10x more police, ironically.

I cannot get up to give you anything.' 8 I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence. 9 And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? 12 Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? 13 If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" --- # 2026-10-07 *2026-10-07* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/07/state-of-the-bb-a.html State of the bb: A Week of Breaking Blackbox Made It My First Lieutenant: Fifty-three commits, 139 tests, five dollars of AI, and every one of my sloppy sentences turned into a feature [chrisabraham.substack.com/p/state-o...](https://chrisabraham.substack.com/p/state-of-the-bb-a-week-of-breaking) --- # Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,1-4 1 *2026-10-07* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/07/holy-gospel-of-jesus-christ.html Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples." 2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread4 and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." --- # 2026-10-07 *2026-10-07* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/07/i-just-picture-these-two.html I just picture these two prigs clutching their partisan pearls—love it! > "Morning Joe" torched Trump over his comments about letting Iran "take out" LA and San Diego.

There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. 34 When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. 35 But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. 36 Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. 37 Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.' 39 They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?" 41 They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times." 42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'? 43 Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit. --- # 2026-10-02 *2026-10-02* — https://chrisa.org/2026/10/02/im-curious-how-this-will.html I'm curious how this will all play out in the end. > Experts in sexual assault cases said it may not be easy to win a conviction on the rape allegations that Jane Doe has made against fraternity members.

Do not move about from one house to another. 8 Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, 9 cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God is at hand for you.'" 10 Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, 11 'The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.'
