DONATE Menu Image Show Search Live: Trump wins Live: Congressional races Election results Senate majority Elecciones en español Live election updates: Donald Trump wins US presidency By The Associated Press Updated 8:13 AM MST, November 6, 2024 Share Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. Here’s what to know: Electoral vote count: Trump’s win in Wisconsin put him over the 270 threshold needed to clinch the presidency. See the results. Trump’s victory speech: In earlier election remarks at Florida’s Palm Beach Convention Center, Trump vowed not to rest “until we have delivered the strong and prosperous America.” How does the AP call races?

Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election has been followed closely in Sevnica, a town nestled in a valley by the Sava river where Melania Trump grew up under Communism as Melanija Knavs. “We are very proud that Mrs. Melanija has become the first lady again, that she will perform her role with honor and dignity, just like in the previous mandate,” Sevnica mayor Srecko Cvirk said. Sevnica previously — and proudly — advertised itself as Melania Trump’s hometown, so much so that a local party shop created a cake in her name eight years ago. The “Melanija” is made of green nuts, caramel, almond cream and white chocolate mousse. “It is white because of the White House,” said the shop’s manager, Franja Kranjc. 23 min ago WATCH: UK Prime Minister congratulates Trump on election win, while some London residents express concerns Share Keir Starmer on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on what he called an “historic election victory.” Meanwhile, in London, some residents were concerned about Trump’s victory. 19 min ago How do the 2024 numbers compare to 2020? By BRIDGET BROWN Share President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris received a record of over 80 million votes to win the White House in 2020. They beat Donald Trump and Mike Pence, who received over 74 million votes. This year so far, the Democratic ticket has received only 66 million. Meanwhile. Trump and Vance have received over 71 million votes as of Wednesday morning. In 2020, Biden and Harris won the majority of the Electoral College with 306 votes, the identical margin Trump won back in 2016. This year, Trump clinched the nomination with 277 electoral votes, with 37 votes still up for grabs. 17 min ago Donald Trump’s transition starts now. Here’s how it will work By WILL WEISSERT Share Donald Trump‘s impending return to the White House means he’ll want to stand up an entirely new administration from the one that served under President Joe Biden. His team is also pledging that the second won’t look much like the first one Trump established after his 2016 victory. The president-elect now has a 75-day transition period to build out his team before Inauguration Day arrives on Jan. 20. One top item on the to-do list: filling around 4,000 government positions with political appointees, people specifically tapped for their jobs by Trump’s team. That includes everyone from the secretary of state and other heads of Cabinet departments to those selected to serve part-time on boards and commissions. Around 1,200 of those presidential appointments require Senate confirmation, which should be easier with the Senate now shifting to Republican control. ▶ Read more on what to expect 11 min ago Former President Bush congratulates Trump By WILL WEISSERT Share In a statement, former President George W. Bush said he and his wife, Laura, “join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government.” Some top former Republican officials, including Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney, had endorsed Harris. But Bush remained neutral. Bush also thanked “President Biden and Vice President Harris for their service to our country.” “The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions,” said Bush, who called the election a “free, fair, safe, and secure election.” 40 sec ago Morocco’s king calls Trump’s win ‘a tribute to his patriotism’ By The Associated Press Share Morocco’s King Mohammed VI on Wednesday expressed “sincere congratulations” and “best wishes” to President-elect Donald Trump, referencing the latter’s 2020 decision to back Morocco’s stance in the disputed Western Sahara. “Mr. Trump’s resounding success in these elections is a tribute to his patriotism and rewards his commitment to upholding the best interests of the United States,” the king wrote in a letter published by the state press agency, MAP. The 61-year-old monarch said Moroccans were grateful for Trump’s move to shift the United States’ longstanding position in the Western Sahara, a disputed territory that Morocco considers its southern provinces and the United Nations considers “non-self-governing.” He added that Morocco — which normalized relations with Israel as part of the 2020 Abraham Accords — was committed to allying with the United States to address “increasingly complex regional and global challenges.” Morocco hopes Trump follows through on the State Department’s yet-to-be-fulfilled 2020 commitment to build a consulate in the disputed territory. 24 min ago US stock market and bitcoin surge on Trump’s return to office By ELAINE KURTENBACH, ZIMO ZHONG, BRIDGET BROWN Share Image The American flags hangs on the facade of the New York Stock Exchange in New York’s Financial District on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.

In Nebraska, voters enshrined the state’s current 12-week ban in the constitution. In Florida, voters cast their ballots in favor of a measure that would have overturned the state’s ban on abortions after six weeks and would have allowed them up until viability. However, the measure did not reach the 60% threshold and failed. Advertisement 39 min ago Where did voters solidify abortion access and reproductive rights? By MORIAH BALINGIT, FARNOUSH AMIRI Share Image FILE - Protesters hold competing signs outside Manhattan federal court during an abortion-rights demonstration in New York, Saturday, May 14, 2022. (AP Photo/Jeenah Moon, File) Read More In Montana, where state courts have blocked lawmakers’ efforts to restrict abortion rights, voters wrote abortion protections into the state constitution, codifying the right to an abortion up to viability. Though there’s no defined time frame, doctors say viability is sometime after 21 weeks. The constitutional amendment is meant to safeguard against future efforts to restrict abortion rights. Colorado, Nevada and Maryland already had laws on the books protecting abortion access, but voters there backed measures to enshrine the right in their state constitutions. New York voters backed a reproductive rights measure that would bar unequal treatment based on “pregnancy outcomes” and “reproductive healthcare and autonomy,” along with sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and disability. 46 min ago Where were abortion rights expanded?

(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) Missouri voters overturned one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans, backing a constitutional amendment that protects abortion rights at all stages until the fetus is considered viable — usually considered after 21 weeks, although there’s no exact time frame. Voters in Arizona, which had a ban on abortion after 15 weeks, backed a state constitutional amendment that will also protect the right to an abortion up to viability.

It was widely seen as an echo of the U.S. Capitol insurrection two years earlier, and Bolsonaro is now the target of several investigations.

The former president and now president-elect often skipped over details but through more than a year of policy pronouncements and written statements outlined a wide-ranging agenda that blends traditional conservative approaches to taxes, regulation and cultural issues with a more populist bent on trade and a shift in America’s international role. Trump’s agenda also would scale back federal government efforts on civil rights and expand presidential powers. ▶ Read more about Trump’s proposed policies 6:11 AM MST Norwegian group: Trump’s election means US ‘will no longer be a driving force’ in climate fight By JAN M.OLSEN Share Norwegian Bellona environmental group said that “with the election of Donald Trump, the United States will no longer be a driving force globally to reach the 1.5 Celsius target,” referencing the international goal of trying to limit future warming since preindustrial times. The outcome means the European Union “must take the global leadership role in the climate fight, and to a significantly greater extent ensure the defense of Europe’s strategic interests,” the group said. “The EU will now become significantly more important for climate, technology development and restructuring in the next four years,” Frederic Hauge, founder of the Oslo-based organization, said in a statement. 6:02 AM MST On Ukraine’s front and in Kyiv, hope and pragmatism compete when it comes to Trump’s election By LORI HINNANT, YEHOR KONOVALOV Share Soldiers in a Ukrainian artillery battery on the front lines of the country’s east were only vaguely aware of American election results pointing to Donald Trump’s victory Wednesday — but firm in their hopes for the next president of the United States. Their entrenched artillery battery fires on Russian forces daily — and takes fire nearly as often. Just the other day, one of their overhead nets snared a Russian drone.

I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity, and security for both of our nations,” Trudeau posted. Trump as president called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest” and attacked Canada’s vital trade. He threatened tariffs on cars and imposed them on steel. The unprecedented tone against one of Washington’s closest allies left a bitter taste, and most Canadians were relieved that Trump was defeated in 2020. 5:34 AM MST Slovakia’s prime minister congratulates Trump on his victory By KAREL JANICEK Share Image FILE - Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, right, gives a media statement, with Minister of Interior Robert Kalinak, left, in Bratislava, Slovakia on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018.

Fico, who is known for pro-Russian views, said the result of the election is “certainly a defeat of liberal and progressivist ideas because the new American President is a conservative. We think he’ll focus on the economy issues in the United States.” Fico said what’s of importance is that “everybody is waiting for the first steps in regards of the war in Ukraine.” Fico added that Trump might reduce or halt the military aid for Ukraine or propose an immediate cease-fire to open the way for negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Fico ended his state’s military aid for Ukraine. 5:34 AM MST Just waking up? Here’s what you missed overnight By MORIAH BALINGIT Share Donald Trump was elected 47th president of the United States. The AP called the race for Trump after declaring his win in Wisconsin, one of seven battleground states, at 5:34 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Trump won critical battleground states that he lost to Biden four years ago, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia. Election Day was mostly smooth. Fears of violence or disruptions did not materialize in most places. But bomb threats — all of which turned out to be hoaxes — disrupted voting in at least five battleground states. Voters in several states weighed in on abortion restrictions. Abortion measures were on the ballot in nine states. In three — Nebraska, Florida and South Dakota — efforts to write abortion rights into state constitutions failed. Missouri voters overturned one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans, protecting the right of an abortion up until viability. In Arizona, which currently bans abortion past 15 weeks, voters backed a measure to protect abortion rights up until viability. Though there’s no defined time frame, doctors say viability is sometime after 21 weeks. In Nevada, New York and Colorado, voters reaffirmed abortion and reproductive rights. Montana voters chose to protect the right to an abortion in their state constitution. 5:24 AM MST Federation of the Jewish Communities of Ukraine say Trump will bring ‘genuine peace’ to their country By MELANIE LIDMAN Share The Federation of the Jewish Communities of Ukraine said they welcomed Trump’s election and are confident Trump will bring “genuine peace in Ukraine while preserving our territorial integrity and standing firmly against forces that threaten the peace of the free world.” 5:19 AM MST How are markets responding to the election results?

(AP Photo/Mike Carlson) Despite major losses for Democrats in the Senate and White House, the party’s central campaign issue surrounding protecting reproductive rights fared much better across the country as abortion rights advocates won on measures in seven states. The last state to pass such a measure by early Wednesday was Montana, where abortion rights advocates pushed to enshrine abortion rights until fetal viability into the state constitution as a safeguard against future rollbacks. Though there’s no defined time frame, doctors say viability is sometime after 21 weeks. In three others — Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota — voters rejected measures that would have created a constitutional right to abortion. 4:12 AM MST Montana enshrines abortion rights By The Associated Press Share Montana voters chose to protect the right to an abortion in their state constitution.

(AP Photo/Aijaz Rahi) Read More There was a sense of disappointment in Thulasendrapuram, a tiny village in southern India, where Kamala Harris’ mother’s family has ancestral ties and where people were rooting for the Democratic nominee for president. Residents in this village, who were keenly following the election results on their smartphones, were left silent as initial enthusiasm faded, even before the presidential race call, but many said they were proud that she put up a good fight. The villagers were hoping for a Harris victory and had Tuesday held special Hindu prayers for her at a local temple where Harris’ name is engraved in a list of donors. Some were also planning to blast off fireworks and distribute sweets had she won. “We are sad about it. But what can we do? It was in the hands of the voters of that country. They made Trump win. We can only wish Trump well for his victory,” said J. Sudhakar. As results became clearer, a gaggle of reporters that was stationed outside the village temple also quickly scattered away. The village — site of a brief media spectacle and euphoria since Tuesday — became almost deserted. 3:48 AM MST Investors react to Trump’s victory in US election by buying on the German stock market By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER Share The Dax rose significantly by 1.5% to 19,544 points in early Xetra trading, German news agency dpa agency reported. Robert Halver, Head of Capital Market Analysis at Baader Bank said that “since Donald Trump stands for the economy, it can be assumed that stock markets around the world will go up. With one exception: China, because he (Donald Trump) will definitely impose tariffs at least on China. That will certainly make life difficult for the Chinese.” “The nice thing is that European stocks, German stocks and export stocks can also benefit.

Peskov reaffirmed the Kremlin’s claim that the U.S. support for Ukraine amounted to its involvement in the conflict, telling reporters: “Let’s not forget that we are talking about the unfriendly country that is both directly and indirectly involved in a war against our state.” Asked if Putin’s failure to congratulate Trump could hurt ties, Peskov responded that the Russia-U.S. relations already are at the “lowest point in history,” adding that it will be up to the new U.S. leadership to change the situation. He noted Putin’s statements about Moscow’s readiness for a “constructive dialogue based on justice, equality and readiness to take mutual concerns into account.” Peskov noted Trump’s campaign statements about his intention to end wars, saying that “those were important statements, but now after the victory, while getting ready to enter the Oval Office or entering the Oval Office, statements could sometimes change.” 3:44 AM MST WATCH: Trump reclaims White House - AP Explains By The Associated Press Share AP explains after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday in an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. 3:36 AM MST Trump is elected the 47th president By The Associated Press Share Image Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump points to the crowd at an election night watch party, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) Read More Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts. With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency. The victory validates his bare-knuckle approach to politics. He attacked his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in deeply personal — often misogynistic and racist — terms as he pushed an apocalyptic picture of a country overrun by violent migrants. The coarse rhetoric, paired with an image of hypermasculinity, resonated with angry voters — particularly men — in a deeply polarized nation. As president, he’s vowed to pursue an agenda centered on dramatically reshaping the federal government and retribution against his perceived enemies. 3:35 AM MST AP Race Call: Donald Trump elected 47th president of the United States By The Associated Press Share Image 3:34 AM MST Race Call AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Wisconsin By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Share Former President Donald Trump won the key state of Wisconsin on Wednesday, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a critical battleground. The win delivers 10 Electoral College votes to Trump. He narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, becoming the first Republican since Ronald Reagan to capture the state. He lost it in 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden. Both Harris and Trump made Wisconsin a central focus of their campaigns. In 2020, Trump attempted to overturn his loss in the state through lawsuits and recounts, but failed. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 5:34 a.m. EST. 3:22 AM MST A Decision Desk update on Michigan By The Associated Press Share Another big update from Wayne County and it’s the same story: Harris continues to cut into Trump’s lead. This update of close to 240,000 votes trimmed Trump’s advantage to just under 2 points. Smaller updates that followed in a few places pushed it back to more than 2 points. The race for the state’s 15 electoral votes is still too early to call. 3:20 AM MST German, Czech leaders comment on US election as vote counting continues By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, KAREL JANICEK Share Image German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022.

We will continue to do so for the wellbeing of our citizens,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a post on the social platform X. Meanwhile, Czech Republic’s President Petr Pavel said he valued the country’s “partnership with the United States” and was looking forward to “continued cooperation in addressing shared global challenges, including supporting our common allies and upholding European security,” Pavel said. “Our Transatlantic bond remains strong.” 2:33 AM MST WATCH: Top moments of the day as Donald Trump is on the cusp of election victory By The Associated Press Share Donald Trump is on the verge of clinching the presidency Wednesday after winning Pennsylvania, putting him just three electoral votes shy of defeating Kamala Harris to secure his return to the White House. 2:17 AM MST In Pictures: The world watches as US election results trickle in Share Image Howard University students watch live election results during a watch party near an election night event for Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris at Howard University in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024.

The reason: Harris won the update by a margin of 46 percentage points, allowing her to cut into Trump’s lead in Michigan. He’s still ahead with more votes left to count.

(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson, File) Read More Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he appreciates Trump’s commitment to “peace through strength” as the Republican presidential nominee closes in on the electoral votes needed to win the White House. “I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September, when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine,” said Zelenskyy on X. Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is interested “in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations.” “We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership,” said Zelenskyy. “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer. I am hopeful that we will put it into action together,” he said. 1:57 AM MST European Commission president says she’s looking forward to working with Trump By LORNE COOK Share The European Union’s top official says she’s looking forward to working with Trump again as the former president is on the cusp of victory in the U.S. presidential race. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the E.U. and U.S. “are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens.” “Let us work together on a transatlantic partnership that continues to deliver for our citizens. Millions of jobs and billions in trade and investment on each side of the Atlantic depend on the dynamism and stability of our economic relationship,” she said in a statement. The tariffs that Trump slapped on steel and aluminum exports during his last term roiled the bloc’s economy. 1:51 AM MST WATCH: ‘God spared my life for a reason’ By The Associated Press Share 1:48 AM MST In Pictures: From small towns to big cities, voters exercise democracy’s most fundamental freedom Share Image Voters fill out their ballots at a polling site at the First Presbyterian Church of Dearborn, on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, in Dearborn, Mich.

It’s a major win for abortion-rights supporters in the presidential battleground state who sought to expand access beyond 15 weeks. The Arizona amendment is the sixth measure to protect or expand abortion rights that has passed so far this election.

The Epistle Of Paul To The  Philippians

The Argument

Paul being warned by the holy Ghost to go to Macedonia, planted first a Church at Philippi a city of the same country; but because his charge was to preach the Gospel universally to all the Gentiles, he travailed from place to place, till at the length he was taken prisoner at Rome, whereof the Philippians, being advertised, sent their minister Epaphroditus with relief unto him; who declaring him the state of the Church, caused him to write this Epistle, wherein he commendeth them that they stood manfully against the false apostles, putting them in mind of his good will toward them, and exhorteth them that his imprisonment make them not to shrink; for the Gospel thereby was confirmed and not diminished; especially he desireth them to flee ambition, and to embrace modesty, promising to send Timothy unto them, who should instruct them in matters more amply; yea, and that he himself would also come unto them, adding likewise the cause of their ministers so long abode. And because there were no greater enemies to the cross than the false apostles, he confuteth their false doctrine, by proving only Christ to be the end of all true religion, with whom we have all things, and without whom we have nothing, so that his death is our life, and his resurrection our justification. After this follow certain admonitions both particular and general, with justification of his affection towards them, and thankful accepting of their benevolence.



Philippians 1....................................................................................................................... okayand part of chapter 2

Philippians 1

3 Having testified his godly and tender affection towards the Philippians,  12 he entreateth of himself and his bonds;  22 And pricketh them forward by his own example,  27 and exhorteth them to unity,  28 and patience.


 1 Paul (1) and Timothy the servants of JESUS CHRIST, to all the Saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the (a) (*) Bishops and Deacons: 

(1) The mark whereat he shooteth in this Epistle, is to confirm the Philippians by all means possible, not only not to faint, but also to go forward. And first of all, he commendeth their former doings, to exhort them to go forward; which thing he saith, he fully hopeth surely they will do, and that by the testimony of their lively charity, but in the mean season he referreth all things to the grace of God. (a) By the Bishops are meant both the Pastors, which have the dispensation of the word and the Elders, that govern; and by Deacons are meant those that were stewards of the treasury of the Church, and had to look unto the poor. (*) By bishops here he meaneth them that had charge of the word and governing, as pastors, doctors, elders; by deacons, such as had charge of the distribution, and of the poor and sick.

 2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 3  (*) I thank my God, having you in perfect memory, 

(*) 1 Thessalonians 1:2 .

 4 (Always in all my prayers for you all, praying with gladness,) 

 5 Because of the (b) (*) fellowship which ye have in the Gospel, from the (c) (♣) first day unto now. 

(b) Because you also are made partakers of the Gospel. (*) With other Churches. (c) Ever since I knew you. (♣) That ye received the Gospel.

 6 And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begun this good work in you, will perform it until the (d) (*) day of Jesus Christ, 

(d) The Spirit of God will not forsake you unto the very latter end, until your mortal bodies shall appear before the judgment of Christ, to be glorified. (*) When you shall receive the crown of glory.

 7 As it becometh me so to judge of you all, because I have you in remembrance, (*) that both in my (e) bands, and in my defense, and confirmation of the Gospel you all were partakers of my (f) (♣) grace. 

 2
(*) It was a sure token of their love, that they did help him by all means possible, when he was absent, and in prison, even as if they had been prisoners with him. (e) A true proof of a true knitting together with Christ. (f) He calleth his bands, grace, as though he had received some singular benefit. (♣) Of this peculiar benefit to suffer for Christ's sake.

 8  (2) For God is my record, how I long after you all from the very heart root in Jesus Christ. 

(2) He declareth his good will towards them, therewithal shewing by what means chiefly they may be confirmed, to wit, by continual prayer. 

 9  (3) And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge, and in all judgment, 

(3) He sheweth what thing we ought to chiefly desire, to wit, first of all, that we may increase in the true knowledge of God (so that we may be able to discern things that differ from one another) and also in charity, that even to the end we may give ourselves to good works indeed, to the glory of God by Jesus Christ. 

 10 That ye may discern those things that (*) differ one from another which are best, that ye may be pure, and (♣) without offence, until the day of Christ, 

(*) Or, are excellent. (♣) That you so increase in godliness that not only ye can put difference between good and evil; but also that ye profit more and more without slipping back, or standing in a stay.

 11 Filled with the (g) fruits of (*) righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God. 

(g) If righteousness be the tree, and good works the fruits, then must the Papists needs be deceived, when they say that works are the cause of righteousness. (*) Righteousness is the tree, good works the fruit.

 12  ¶ (4) I would ye understood, brethren, that the things which have come unto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospel, 

(4) He preventeth the offence that might come by his persecution, whereby divers took occasion to disgrace his Apostleship. To whom he answereth, that God hath blessed his imprisonment in such wise, that he is by that means become more famous, and the dignity of the Gospel by this occasion is greatly enlarged, although not with like affection in all men, yet indeed. 

 13 So that my bands (h) in (*) Christ are famous throughout all the (i) (♣) judgment hall, and in all other places, 

(h) For Christ his sake. (*) Which I sustain for Christ's cause. (i) In the Emperor's court. (♣) That is, in the court or Palace of the Emperor Nero.

 3
 14 In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bands, and dare more frankly speak the (k) (*) word. 

(k) The Gospel is called the Word, to set forth the excellency of it. (*) Or, profess the Gospel, considering my constancy.

 15 Some preach Christ even through envy and strife, and some also of good will. 

 16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention, and not (l) (*) purely, supposing to add more affliction to my bands. 

(l) Not with a pure mind; for otherwise their doctrine was pure. (*) But with a corrupt mind.

 17 But the others of love, knowing that I (*) am set for the defense of the Gospel. 
 (*) Or, lie in bands.

 18  (5) What then? Yet Christ is preached all manner ways, whether it (*) be under a (m) pretence, or sincerely; and I therein joy, yea, and will joy. 

(5) He sheweth by setting forth his own example, that the end of our afflictions is true joy, and that through the virtue of the Spirit of Christ, which he giveth to them that ask it. (*) Their pretence was to preach Christ, and therefore their doctrine was true; but they were full of ambition and envy thinking to deface Paul and prefer themselves. (m) Under a goodly color of shew; for they make Christ a cloak for their ambition and envy. 

 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and by the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 

 20  (6) As I heartily look for, and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all confidence, as always, so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. 

(6) We must continue even to the end, with great confidence, having nothing before our eyes but Christ's glory only, whether we live or die. 

 21 For Christ is to me both in life, and in death advantage. 

 22  (7) And whether to (*) live in the (n) flesh were profitable for me, and what to choose I know not. 

(7) An example of a true shepherd, who maketh more account how he may profit his sheep, than he doth of any commodity of his own whatsoever. (*) To live in the flesh is to live in this brittle body, till we be called to live everlastingly; but to live according to the flesh or to be in the flesh, signify, to be destitute of the Spirit and to be plunged in the filthy concupiscence of the flesh. (n) To live in this mortal body. 

 4
 23 For I am greatly in doubt on both sides, desiring to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which is best of all. 

 24 Nevertheless, to abide in the (*) flesh, is more needful for you. 
 (*) Or, body.

 25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and joy of your faith, 

 26 That ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ for me, by my coming to you again. 

 27  (8) (*) Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your matters, that ye (o) continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel. 

(8) Having set down those things before, in manner of a Preface, he descendeth now to exhortations, warning them first of all, to consent both in doctrine and mind, and afterward, that being thus knit together with those common bands, they continue through the strength of faith to bear all adversity in such sort, that they admit nothing unworthy of the profession of the Gospel. (*) Ephesians 4:1; Colossians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:12 . (o) The word signifieth, to stand fast, and it is proper to wrestlers, that stand fast, and move not a foot. 

 28  (9) And in nothing fear your adversaries, which is to them a (*) token of perdition, and to you of salvation, and (♣) that of God. 

(9) We ought not to be discouraged, but rather encouraged by the persecutions which the enemies of the Gospel imagine and practice against us; seeing that they are certain witnesses from God himself, both of our salvation, and of the destruction of the wicked. (*) The more that tyrants rage against the Gospel, the more manifestly they declare that they run to their own destruction; and again constant perseverance for Christ's sake is an evident sign of salvation. (♣) God sheweth by this means of bearing the cross who are his, and who are not.

 29  (10) For unto you it is given (*) for Christ, that not only ye should believe in him, but also suffer for his sake, 

(10) He proveth that his saying, that persecution is a token of our salvation, because it is a gift of God to suffer for Christ, which gift he bestoweth upon his own, as he doth the gift of faith. (*) Or, Christ's cause.

 30  (11) Having the same fight, which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 

(11) Now he sheweth for what purpose he made mention of his afflictions. 




 5
Philippians 2

1 He exhorteth them above all things,  3 to humility,  6 and that by the example of Christ.  19 He promiseth to send Timothy shortly unto them,  26 and excuseth the long tarrying of Epaphroditus.


 1 If (1) there be therefore any (*) consolation in (a) Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any (b) compassion and mercy, 

(1) A most earnest request to remove all those things, whereby that great and special consent and agreement is commonly broken, to wit, contention and pride, whereby it cometh to pass, that they separate themselves one from another. (*) If you so love me that you desire my comfort. (a) Any Christian comfort. (b) If any feeling of inward love. 

 2 Fulfill my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the (c) same love, being of one accord, and of (*) one judgment, 

(c) Like love. (*) From the consent of wills and minds he proceedeth to the agreement in doctrine, that there might be full and perfect concord.

 3 That nothing be done through contention or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind (*) every man esteem others better than himself. 

(*) Romans 12:10 .

 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of other men. 

 5  (2) Let the same mind be in you that was even in Christ Jesus, 

(2) He setteth before them a most perfect example of all modesty and sweet conversation, Christ Jesus, whom we ought to follow with all our might; who abased himself so far for our sakes, although he be above all, that he took upon him the form of a servant, to wit, our flesh, willingly, subject to all infirmities, even to the death of the cross. 

 6 Who (*) being in the (d) form of God, (e) thought it no (♣) robbery to be (f) equal with God; 

(*) If Christ being very God equal with the Father, laid aside his glory, and being Lord, became a servant, and willingly submitted himself to most shameful death, shall we which are nothing but vile selves, through arrogancy tread down our brethren, and prefer ourselves? (d) Such as God himself is, and therefore God, for there is none in all parts like to God, but God himself. (e) Christ, that glorious and everlasting God, knew that he might rightfully and lawfully not appear in the base flesh of man, but remain with majesty meet for God; yet he chose rather to debase himself. (♣) For he that was God, should have done none injury to the Godhead. (f) If the Son be equal to the Father, then is there of necessity an equality, which Arrius, that Heretic,
 6
denieth; and if the Son be compared with the Father, then is there a distinction of persons, which Sabellius, that Heretic, denieth. 

 7  (*) But he made himself of (g) no reputation, and took on him the (h) (♣) form of a servant, and was made like unto men, and was found in (♠) shape as a man. 

(*) Matthew 20:28 . (g) He brought himself from all things, as it were, to nothing. (h) By taking our manhood upon him. (♣) The poor and weak nature of man. (♠) He was seen and heard of men, that his behavior and person declared that he was as a miserable man.

 8  (*) He humbled himself, and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross. 

(*) Hebrews 2:9 .

 9  (3) Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and given him a (i) Name above every name, 

(3) He sheweth the most glorious event of Christ's submission, to teach us, that modesty is the true way to true praise and glory. (i) Dignity and renown, and the matter with it. 

 10  (*) That at the Name of Jesus should (k) every (♣) knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, 

(*) Romans 14:11 . (k) All creatures shall at length be subject to Christ. (♣) Worship, and be subject to him.

 11  (*) And that (l) every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, unto the glory of God the Father. 

(*) Isaiah 45:23 . (l) Every nation. 

 12  (4) Wherefore my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, so (m) (*) make an end of your own salvation with (♣) fear and trembling. 

(4) The conclusion: We must go on to salvation with humility and submission, by the way of our vocation. (m) He is said to make an end of his salvation, which runneth in the race of righteousness. (*) Run forward in that race of righteousness, wherein God hath freely placed you through Jesus Christ and conducteth you his children by his Spirit to walk in good works, and so to make your vocation sure. (♣) Which may make you careful and diligent.

 7
 13  (5) For it is God which worketh in you, both (n) the will and the deed, even of his (*) good pleasure. 

(5) A most sure and grounded argument against pride, for that we have nothing in us praiseworthy, but it cometh of the free gift of God, and is without us, for we have no ability or power, so much as to will well (much less to do well) but only of the free mercy of God. (n) What then, we are not stocks; but yet we do not will well by nature, but only because God hath made of our naughty will a good will. (*) Which is his free grace.

 14  (6) Do all things without (*) murmuring and reasonings, 

(6) He describeth modesty by the contrary effects of pride, teaching us, that it is far both from all malicious, and close or inward hatred, and also from open contentions and brawlings.  (*) 1 Peter 4:9 .

 15  (7) That ye may be blameless, and pure, and the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a naughty and crooked nation, among whom ye shine as (*) lights in the world, 

(7) To be short, he requireth a life without fault, and pure, that being lightened with the word of God, they may shine in he darkness of this world.   t (*) Matthew 5:14 .

 16  (*) Holding forth the (o) word of life, (8) that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have labored in vain. 

(*) As they which in the night set forth a candle to give light to others. (o) The Gospel is called the word of life, because of the effects which it worketh. (8) Again he pricketh them forward, setting before them his true Apostolic care that he had for them, comforting them moreover, to the end they should not be sorry for the greatness of his afflictions, no not although he should die to make perfect their oblation with his blood, as it were with a drink offering. 

 17 Yea, and though I be (*) offered up upon the (p) sacrifice, and service (♣) of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all. 

(*) The word signifieth to power out as the drink offering was powered on the sacrifice. (p) As if he said, I brought you Philippians to Christ, my desire is that you present yourselves a lively sacrifice to him, and then shall it not grieve me to be offered up as a drink offering, to accomplish this your spiritual offering. (♣) To continue you in your faith.

 18 For the same cause also be ye glad, and rejoice with me. 

 19  (9) And I trust in the Lord Jesus, to send (*) Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of (q) good comfort, when I know your state. 

(9) Moreover he confirmeth their minds both by sending back Epaphroditus unto them, whose fidelity towards them, and great pains in helping him, he commendeth; and also promising to send Timothy shortly unto them, by whose presence they shall receive great commodity, and hoping also to come himself shortly unto them, if God wills.
 8
(*) Acts 16:1 . (q) May be confirmed in my joy of mind. 

 20 For I have no man likeminded, who will faithfully care for your matters. 

 21  (*) For (r) all (♣) seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ’s. 

(*) 1 Corinthians 10:24 . (r) The most part. (♣) They rather sought profit by their preaching than God’s glory.

The Paradox of Fiction

How is it that we can be moved by what we know does not exist, namely the situations of people in fictional stories? The so-called "paradox of emotional response to fiction" is an argument for the conclusion that our emotional response to fiction is irrational. The argument contains an inconsistent triad of premises, all of which seem initially plausible. These premises are (1) that in order for us to be moved (to tears, to anger, to horror) by what we come to learn about various people and situations, we must believe that the people and situations in question really exist or existed; (2) that such "existence beliefs" are lacking when we knowingly engage with fictional texts; and (3) that fictional characters and situations do in fact seem capable of moving us at times.

A number of conflicting solutions to this paradox have been proposed by philosophers of art. While some argue that our apparent emotional responses to fiction are only "make-believe" or pretend, others claim that existence beliefs aren't necessary for having emotional responses (at least to fiction) in the first place. And still others hold that there is nothing especially problematic about our emotional responses to works of fiction, since what these works manage to do (when successful) is create in us the "illusion" that the characters and situations depicted therein actually exist.

1. Radford's Initial Statement of the Paradox

In a much-discussed 1975 article, and in a series of "Replies to my Critics" written over the next two decades, Colin Radford argues that our apparent ability to respond emotionally to fictional characters and events is "irrational, incoherent, and inconsistent" (p. 75). This on the grounds that (1) existence beliefsconcerning the objects of our emotions (for example, that the characters in question really exist; that the events in question have really taken place) are necessary for us to be moved by them, and (2) that such beliefs are lacking when we knowingly partake of works of fiction. Taking it pretty much as a given that (3) such works do in fact move us at times, Radford's conclusion, refreshing in its humility, is that our capacity for emotional response to fiction is as irrational as it is familiar: "our being moved in certain ways by works of art, though very 'natural' to us and in that way only too intelligible, involves us in inconsistency and so incoherence" (p. 78).

The need for existence beliefs is supposedly revealed by the following sort of case. If what we at first believed was a true account of something heart-wrenching turned out to be false, a lie, a fiction, etc., and we are later made aware of this fact, then we would no longer feel the way we once did—though we might well feel something else, such as embarrassment for having been taken in to begin with. And so, Radford argues, "It would seem that I can only be moved by someone's plight if I believe that something terrible has happened to him. If I do not believe that he has not and is not suffering or whatever, I cannot grieve or be moved to tears" (p. 68). Of course, what Radford means to say here is: "I can only be rationally moved by someone's plight if I believe that something terrible has happened to him. If I do not believe that he has not and is not suffering or whatever, I cannot rationally grieve or be moved to tears." Such beliefs are absent when we knowingly engage with fictions, a claim Radford supports by presenting and then rejecting a number of objections that might be raised against it.

One of the major objections to his second premise considered by Radford is that, at least while we are engaged in the fiction, we somehow "forget" that what we are reading or watching isn't real; in other words, that we get sufficiently "caught up" in the novel, movie, etc. so as to temporarily lose our awareness of its fictional status. In response to this objection, Radford offers the following two considerations: first, if we truly forgot that what we are reading or watching isn't real, then we most likely would not feel any of the various forms of pleasure that frequently accompany other, more "negative" emotions (such as fear, sadness, and pity) in fictional but not real-life cases; and second, the fact that we do not "try to do something, or think that we should" (p. 71) when seeing a sympathetic character being attacked or killed in a film or play, implies our continued awareness of this character's fictional status even while we are moved by what happens to him. This second consideration—an emphasis on the behavioral disanalogies between our emotional responses to real-life and fictional characters and events—is one that crops up repeatedly in the arguments of philosophers such as Kendall Walton and Noel Carroll, whose positive accounts are nevertheless completely opposed to one another.

Finally, Radford thinks there can be no denying his third premise, that fictional characters themselves are capable of moving us—as opposed to, say, actual (or perhaps merely possible) people in similar situations, who have undergone trials and tribulations very much like those in the story. So his conclusion that our emotional responses to fiction are irrational appears valid and, however unsatisfactory, at the very least non-paradoxical. Summarizing his position in a 1977 follow-up article, with specific reference to the emotion of fear, Radford writes that existence beliefs "[are] a necessary condition of our being unpuzzlingly, rationally, or coherently frightened. I would say that our response to the appearance of the monster is a brute one that is at odds with and overrides our knowledge of what he is, and which in combination with our distancing knowledge that this is only a horror film, leads us to laugh—at the film, and at ourselves for being frightened" (p. 210).

Since the publication of Radford's original essay, many Anglo-American philosophers of art have been preoccupied with exposing the inadequacies of his position, and with presenting alternative, more "satisfying" solutions. In fact, few issues of The British Journal of Aesthetics, Philosophy, or The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticismhave come out over the past 25 years which fail to contain at least one piece devoted to the so-called "paradox of emotional response to fiction." As recently as April 2000, Richard Joyce writes in a journal article that "Radford must weary of defending his thesis that the emotional reactions we have towards fictional characters, events, and states of affairs are irrational. Yet, for all the discussion, the issue has not.been properly settled" (p. 209). It is interesting to note that while virtually all of those writing on this subject credit Radford with initiating the current debate, none of them have adopted his view as their own. At least in part, this must be because what Radford offers is less the solution to a mystery (how is it that we can be moved by what we know does not exist?) than a straightforward acceptance of something mysterious about human nature (our ability to be moved by what we know does not exist is illogical, irrational, even incoherent).

To date, three basic strategies for resolving the paradox in question have turned up again and again in the philosophical literature, each one appearing in a variety of different forms (though it should be noted, other, more idiosyncratic solutions can also be found). It is to these strategies, and some of the powerful criticisms that have been levied against them, that we now briefly turn.

We "as President" , Everything thats "a go"; the "Create & Renew" of ""Ours""

Individual Freedoms and Security are usually at the fulcrum of policy and interpretations of the Constitution remain at the fulcrum of interpretations of "regulation" by policy in junctions of determinations to "goodness"; "good" as a "constitutional requierment" is only in need of having written policy as allowed by the previous described "Articles Of Confederation"(allowed for a constitution if "we" wanted one, due to arising need where "what's good for one yet is not good  for an other"",

; otherwise, "good" has no need to be "written legal document" in order to be ""legal")...

The "State Of The Union"  is both a constant and a periodic adress.

So far, News sources can continue to "update" articles...

i.e, a Google search result ("google" is a pretty credible search engine) displays a news article as written ""1 day ago""  and a description of that article:

CNN.com › politics › trump-tweets 1 day ago - President Donald Trump is running both a personal and an official Twitter ... We will no longer allow this to continue

, and as soon as you click on that article, the article displays "updated...ago"

http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/politics/trump-tweets/

So "we" can tweet. .

So as i "Share" , the "Share" is not an "us" or "they", "we", or "i.e." ..; this,
