I’ll Take A Bite Of That

posted in: Church, Culture | 14,036

There is a reason we follow recipes, to make something that is good and palatable, and also mostly because certain ingredients do not mix. One may change the type of cheese, or use almond milk instead of cow milk in a recipe. Because some ingredients may be different, they do not ruin the final product. It just gives it a different flavor. However, you may not replace the flower in pancakes with baking soda, because you would not end up with pancakes.

In the same way we must ensure we do not mix in outside worship of idols with the true worship of God. “Well”, one might add, “I only worship God”. Yes, by everything you understand you would believe that, but here lies my point. The worship of idols can sneak into the worship of God without it being obvious to us. Idols don’t always look like little brass statues that you can place on the mantle, though some of them might stick on the car window.

An idol that stands out is easily defeated, but one that slowly works its way in becomes natural and part of a culture. The mixing of idol worship and the worship of God may not seem distasteful to us, but is grossly unpalatable to God. This is where we come to the story of Balaam and Balak. In the book of numbers we find Balak, who was king over Moab, in fear of the Jews. He sends after Balaam knowing that “he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed”(Numbers 22:6). However, God warns Balaam to only speak what he is told. This does not go over well with Balak since Balaam ends up blessing Israel three times. Chapter 24 ends with Balaam telling what was to happen in the days to come and then vs. 25 of chapter 24 says “Then Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way”.

The next chapter begins with the Israelites playing the harlot with the daughters of Moab, feasting on food sacrificed to idols and bowing to them as well. So the question is what happened? Here was a mighty nation moving along and following God’s plan and all of sudden they are joined to Baal of Peor. We find the rest of the story of Balak and Balaam in Revelation 2:12-17.

Balaam could not curse the people; however at some point he taught Balak how to trip them up. The verse says to place a “stumbling block” in front of them. Balak placed food sacrificed to idols in front of them to eat and enticed them to commit acts of immorality. This false worship and immorality led to Numbers chapter 25 in which the Lord became angry with Israel.

So why did Israel not reject the food and worship of Baal? Simply put, the food looked good and the women were pretty. “And if all I have to do is bow, then I get hot food and hot ladies… I mean this is their culture and I want to be seen as relevant, besides I still observe the Sabbath”. These things don’t seem so wrong, at least after the 3rd and 4th time. The word for “stumbling block” could also mean “snare”. Those that hunt and fish know you don’t catch prey if the bait doesn’t look enticing and the snare or stumbling block is visible. One trips over the “block” because their eyes are focused somewhere else; they don’t see it for what it is.

So what does this mean for us? We are smart people and we have access to more information than a bunch of folks running around in the desert. But knowledge is not as valuable as wisdom. Knowledge knows what it is we do, and where we go, and where we spend our time and money. Wisdom tells us why we do it. Godly wisdom is the key in understanding which items in our lives are idols and which are true worship and which ones need to be prayed about further.

So now we come to the Church in America, which is more accurately the American Church. So what is it, you might ask, that I am getting at? That the idols have crept into the church, which means there are those of us that worship things other than or along with God. The problem is the idols are different for each of us. (James 1:14) We can worship our sexuality, our “cause” be it pro or anti this and that, or even our politics. A person running for office often becomes our savior if we are not careful. “He/she will fix everything, if we can just get them elected.” We can even begin to praise our government, singing its praises in a worship service. We sacrifice our Saturdays to give honor to our favorite sports teams, and spend our weekday nights at ball parks in service to sports.

Now is it wrong to be pro or anti this and that? Is it wrong to want good leaders? Is it wrong to watch sports and let your kids play them? Depends on what you are searching for. You see the problem is not with the meat. All things are made clean and we know that there are no other gods. However, our desire to have those “meats” drives us to compromise and worship the idols that are associated with them. There is nothing wrong with a child playing baseball; it is when the game becomes the desire of our heart, or when we praise our nation as though it is our savior. It is when we miss where the meat comes from that we are led astray. We believe that the idol provides the meat we desire, whether it be peace, justice, happiness, or protection. These things are to be sought from God. Dead idols can do nothing for us.

This brings us back to us, the church. When we are enticed by the things of the world, we must be careful that they do not become the object of our affection. Because when they do, we will mix them in our true worship. The idols will compete with our worship of God and if not thrown down we will bow our knee to them and give Sunday lip service to the one true God.

    Oct 27 (Reuters) – Marlboro maker Altria Group Inc on Thursday announced a strategic partnership
    with Japan Tobacco in an attempt to boost its smoke-free category.

    Altria and JT will jointly establish Horizon Innovations LLC, which would be responsible for U.S.
    marketing and commercialization of heated tobacco stick (HTS) products owned and developed by either company.

    Altria said the joint venture would be through its subsidiary Philip
    Morris USA that will hold a 75% economic interest in Horizon and Japan Tobacco International,
    a subsidiary of JT, holding the rest. Altria added it would make an initial $150 million in capital contribution to Horizon.

    The companies expect to jointly prepare U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filings for the latest version of Ploom HTS products
    that are not currently commercialized and submit pre-market tobacco product applications in the first half of 2025.

    The announcement comes just days after Altria’s U.S.
    rights to sell IQOS returned to peer Philip Morris
    International Inc , which was spun off from Altria in 2008 when the group wanted to separate its U.S.
    and overseas businesses.

    Philip Morris agreed to pay $2.7 billion for the exclusive right to sell IQOS heated tobacco products in the United States.

    Late September, Altria exercised the option to be released from
    its non-compete deal with Juul Labs Inc, almost four years after buying a
    35% stake in the company.

    The FDA, in early July, put on hold its ban on sales of Juul’s e-cigarettes in the U.S., after the health agency for a brief period banned its
    products as data submitted by the company failed to show its products would be
    appropriate for public health. (Reporting by Ananya Mariam Rajesh in Bengaluru; Editing

    The critics may well have savaged her last offering, but Lady Gaga had the last laugh on Wednesday evening as London welcomed the UK premiere of
    her new film, Joker: Folie à Deux. 

    The singer turned actress takes a starring role as Harley Quinn in the psychological thriller, in which Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the titular Joker – Batman’s soon-to-be nemesis. 

    Arriving at CIneworld Leicester Square alongside ever-supportive fiancé Michael
    Polansky, Gaga looked incredible in a custom-made gown from Celine by Hedi Slimane as she greeted
    fans. 

    The incredible structured number featured dramatic shoulder pads and a plunging neckline which showed off her figure as
    she posed up a storm. 

    Gaga’s fashion parade for the film has been a resounding success at least after her last big film
    House of Gucci released in 2021 was savaged by critics.

    Wedding plans for the couple are underway and their legal plan is being negotiated.

    Gaga is reportedly seeking a $900 million prenup
    before she walks down the aisle.

    And Polansky, who has a $600 million net worth
    as head of The Parker Foundation, is on board.

    A source close to the couple told In Touch that ‘there are a lot of assets
    on both sides, and a prenup will just make everything clear.’

    Gaga ‘is worth $900 million, so of course there needs to be a prenup
    in place,’ the insider said. ‘And Michael understands that.
    He’s not resisting it.’

    Joker: Folie À Deux — starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix —
    may have bombed at the box office, but the name behind the
    new flick is a perfect fit that nails its darkly playful tone. 

    Folie À Deux directly translates to madness for two. 

    The term means ‘the presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two
    persons closely associated with one another’, According to Merriam-Webster. 

    And while the name is a stroke of clever ingenuity, the film itself
    might leave audiences feeling more bewildered than entertained. 

    The new flick has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic
    book movie history as it bombed at the box office on opening night.

    Folie À Deux directly translates to madness for two. The term means ‘the
    presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two persons closely associated with
    one another’

    The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as ‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ — officially
    released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it only raked
    in $20 million at the domestic box office,
    per The Hollywood Reporter.

    Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics

    Joaquin reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which
    had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga
    took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). 

    However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie at the time of
    writing. 

    Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters
    earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds
    a higher score with a C+. 

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31 percent and a critic score of 33 percent. 

    The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at
    the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter. 

    The movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million – but the number has since
    drastically dropped. 

    Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters – and eventually landed
    a little over $1 billion in the global box office. 

    It has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book
    movie history as the film bombs at the box office on opening night

    It received a D rating on CinemaScore – the lowest score for
    a comic book movie

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and
    a critic score of 32%

    The first movie – which was also directed by Todd Phillips – had a budget of between $55 and $70
    million. However, the budget increased for Folie À
    Deux to around $200 million. 

    The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics and audiences – and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International Film
    Festival. 

    Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the
    Joker (Arthur Fleck) – and the film garnered an additional Academy Award
    for Best Original Score. 

    The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film Festival last month
    in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation,
    per Deadline.   

    However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released
    in theaters on Friday – and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features
    musical sequences. 

    One fan penned, ‘Joaquin Phoenix don’t deserve this.
    what happened to the script?’ while another added, ‘is it
    that bad,’ followed by a crying face emoji. 

    ‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well,
    could have been a good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,’ one
    typed. 

    ‘But with some original songs, that keep everything vague, not just covers.
    Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.’ 

    A social media user wrote, ‘Stop making sequels as musicals if
    the original wasn’t a musical.’ 

    ‘Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly
    add musical scenes to fill the runtime,’ one penned. 

    ‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ another shared, along with a monkey staring out a
    window. 

    One fan said, ‘the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the cinema,’ while another
    penned, ‘After years of disagreement….*Joker
    2 releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.’ 

    However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters
    on Friday – and shared their opinions over the sequel,
    which was also a musical

    ‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, could have been a good choice.
    It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,’ one typed

    ‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,
    ‘ another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window

    ‘That’s way below what we expected,’ one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes
    scores. ‘People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.’ 

    A fan explained, ‘yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.
    has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.’ 

    ‘It also insults the audience’s intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
    they shouldn’t have let this escape to theaters.’ 

    One shared, ‘The audience that loved the first movie is not the same
    audience running to see musicals. This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.’ 

    During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he would be interested in making a
    third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga’s character. 

    ‘It’s not really where this movie is headed for me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was
    these two films.’

    Lady Gaga showed off her huge engagement ring
    as she hit the red carpet with her fiancé Michael Polansky at the
    Venice Film Festival premiere of her new film Joker: Folie à Deux on Wednesday
    night.

    The singer, 38, gazed adoringly at Michael,
    46, as she flashed her dazzling new ring on the star-studded red carpet.

    The eight-carat, oval-cut diamond solitaire set in platinum set Polansky back
    a cool $578,000 according to Brides.

    Gaga, who stars as Harley Quinn in the upcoming thriller,
    wore a dramatic black gown and headdress as she joined Joaquin Phoenix and
    his sister Rain at the screening.

    She looked stunning in the plunging dress which featured a velvet corset-style top which then flowed into a dramatic puffy skirt.

    Lady Gaga showed off her huge engagement ring as she hit the
    red carpet with her fiancé Michael Polansky at the Venice Film Festival
    premiere of her new film Joker: Folie à Deux on Wednesday night

    The eight-carat, oval-cut diamond solitaire set in platinum set Polansky back a cool $578,
    000 according to Brides

    The look was completed with an intricate lace headdress, huge diamond earrings and a bold red
    lip – while she wore her bright blonde tresses in a neat bun.

    Michael, a tech entrepreneur, looked smart in a black suit, crisp white
    shirt and bow tie.

    Folie à Deux will see Joaquin, 49, reprise his role as Arthur Fleck AKA Joker and he arrived to the premiere with his glamorous
    sister Rain.

    She looked great in a brown velvet gown and donned stylish shades as she posed with her brother.

    It is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned
    more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the
    highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

    Set for release on October 4, the second instalment finds Arthur Fleck institutionalised at Arkham awaiting
    trial for his crimes as Joker.

    The singer, 38, gazed adoringly at Michael,
    46, as she flashed her dazzling new ring on the star-studded red carpet

    She commanded attention in the incredible black lace headdress as she strutted
    her stuff on the red carpet

    ‘While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not
    only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that’s always
    been inside him,’ a press release shared.

    Lady Gaga has been supported by her fiancé Michael in the lead up to the thriller’s premiere.

    The couple was first romantically linked around New Year’s Eve 2019 and later went Instagram official in early
    2020.

    Polansky is a 2006 graduate of Harvard University and runs Napster founder Sean Parker’s Parker Group.

    Throughout their years dating, Gaga and Polansky
    have attended the Super Bowl, the BAFTAs, and the Critics Choice Awards together.

    Joaquin Phoenix, left, and Lady Gaga in a scene from Joker: Folie à Deux 

    Wedding plans for the couple are underway and their
    legal plan is being negotiated.

    Gaga is reportedly seeking a $900 million prenup
    before she walks down the aisle.

    And Polansky, who has a $600 million net worth as head of The
    Parker Foundation, is on board.

    A source close to the couple told In Touch that ‘there are a lot
    of assets on both sides, and a prenup will just make everything
    clear.’

    Gaga ‘is worth $900 million, so of course there needs to be a
    prenup in place,’ the insider said. ‘And Michael understands that.
    He’s not resisting it.’

    après que l’armée israélienne a annoncé avoir lancé des “assauts terrestres ciblés” contre
    le Hezbollah dans le sud du Liban.

    “Ils sont convenus de la nécessité de démanteler les infrastructures d’attaque le long de la frontière afin de s’assurer que le Hezbollah libanais ne peut pas mener d’attaques du style de celle du 7 octobre contre des communautés du nord d’Israël”, a

    A companion album to Joker: Folie à Deux.’

    In the accompanying artwork, Lady Gaga (born Stefani Germanotta) was wearing a short red wig, smeared make-up, a white
    sheer slip dress, and a red life preserver while seated in a shower.

    The standard vinyl version of Harlequin comes with a full-length poster
    of the 13-time Grammy winner flashing her bra beneath a
    sheer T-shirt and panties while removing blue stockings
    off her feet on a dingy bed.

    The vinyl folds out to show Lady Gaga with red lipstick smeared on her face into a smile just like the Joker while gazing into a mirror.

    The musical, which bombed at the box office, is ‘poised to lose at
    least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to
    the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at the
    box office to break even — when factoring in the
    cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
    sources claim the number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report,
    saying ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included
    with this week’s opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home
    viewing and ancillary run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of release.

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three
    days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for
    Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to
    ignite at the box office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as
    the film bombed at the box office on opening night. 

    The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as ‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ —
    officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his
    portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).

    However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore
    — the lowest score for a comic book movie.

    The movie will be available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of Warner Bros.
    investment into the film, according to Variety

    Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews
    — holds a higher score with a C+.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of
    31% and a critic score of 32%.

    The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase –
    with an agent familiar with director Todd Phillips’ process
    telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during the making of the film,
    with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s
    LA premiere afterparty last month. 

    A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some
    down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150
    [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.’

    In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.

    A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the
    Joker sequel, while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.

    Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner- with
    claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner
    Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.

    It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran – who took control of DC two months before
    production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.

    Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut
    screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:
    ‘With all due respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros.

    movie.’

    Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia
    and Discovery merged in April 2022 and was ‘open to filming
    in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at
    a lower price point.’

    The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent
    less.

    A source directly involved with the film recently shared: ‘The one thing about genre
    stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are,
    you’re going to fail’; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga
    and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30

    However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with
    the budget remaining static.

    A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio ‘supported
    the decision to film in Los Angeles’.

    A source directly involved with the film said:
    ‘No one could get through to Todd. And the one
    thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and
    pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to
    fail.

    Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere
    the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips
    pushed back – with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice. 

    Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz
    and Steve Coogan.
