[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of “Essays” by Anthony Joseph Hopkins.]

Essays by Anthony Joseph Hopkins is a compilation of different Bible verses and their meaning to people. The Bible verses were cited from the books of both the Old and New Testaments of the KJV Bible. The interpretation of each Bible verse(s) was the author’s understanding of his experiences. Anthony Joseph Hopkins shared his personal experiences from the time he was an unbeliever until he joined the Christian faith.

In Essays, each verse explained holds a significant value like love, compassion, forgiveness, redemption, maturity, and sundry. But the explanation of the biblical concepts was mainly opinionated rather than factual. I state this because the biblical verses were not properly quoted or not quoted at all in some instances. A reader who does not have access to the Bible would find it difficult to understand this book and might even consider the content false. This does not speak positively about the book.

The author, in many instances, also diverted from the main topic of the writing into irrelevant information. According to the table of contents, these essays were meant to be about how every verse discussed relates to everyone. But the author often centered the discussion on only himself and his experiences.

The author discusses many personal problems in the book, like depression, suicide, and drug and physical abuse. He also shared his challenges in handling finances and relationships. I didn’t have much problem while he discussed he currently has a mental illness known as “schizoid affective disorder.” But in Chapter 17, he seems to have implied some relationships with spirits, and I thought maybe I shouldn’t fully trust his opinions. I wasn’t comfortable. Based on all these, I do not trust the credibility of this writing. The content in this book might create heresy and even imbalance.

In the book, there was a continuous repetition of the chapters’ contents. For instance, in a chapter composed of six paragraphs, six of them were repeated about four times in the same chapter. This was not done once but in several chapters. Also, the grammatical and typographical errors in the book were many. The excessive use of exclamation marks is one of the many errors in the book. Except in informal writing, the exclamation mark is to be used once, after a sentence. But in this writing, the exclamation mark was exaggerated and overused.

My rating of Essays is one out of four stars. I do not recommend this book to any specific audience. But any interested reader can find it suitable to learn something new about the Christian faith.

What Is A Difference Between A Lesson and Something that We are Learning?

First, I want to inform you that a lesson is something that we tend to learn from; for instance, personal experience!! Something that we learn from has a lot to do with the things that acquire knowledge from especially from being in school or we can be around our own family members.

Second, I want to mention that we learn from living inside from our own environment. According to Psychologist, human behavior is learned. This is the true because in my case, I have learned from my family members as well as other people.

Third, I would like to inform all of you that each day of the week, we are learning new things from our environment. There are times that we learn from the things that we personally are connected with. For Example, my social media accounts. I learn from the information that is collected from my email accounts.

Fourth, I am feeling good about myself. I have been through an ordeal with other people as well as myself. I want to inform all of you that I have been having feelings as if I have been spitted on by certain individuals. I might not know who they are personally, I have been scammed for the past 14 years by a certain group of people from my past.

Fifth, these people had taken a total of $16,977 dollars in Western Union Funds. These people hurt me by taking advantage of my kind nature. I know that most of this information has been repeated over and over again. I am trying to share my experiences with other people, so that they would not go through anything like I had during the past 14 years.

Sixth, I want to inform all of you that I am feeling better than I had been 14 years ago. I want to inform all of you that all of what I went through, is definitely a learning experience. How I ended up getting scammed is through a mistake on a computer. These individuals wanted some money so bad that they wanted to get out of a bad situation.

Seventh, I want to say that our environment is really changing very rapidly. I lesson is something that we learned from grade school. I want to mention that my experiences tend to become different than other people. This is simply because God is watching me as well as all of you. What does the word learn mean?
Learn means to
gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught. This is the truth!!

Eighth and Finally, I want to inform all of you that we are learning from each other every single day of the week. I want to say that I am still learning from all of you. No matter if it is online or face to face interaction.
I am still learning from everyone. We are still students of real life. Please keep me in your prayers. God Bless You!! I want to inform all of you that God Loves You and So Do I. Please take care of yourselves. Have a nice day!!

Emotions

What Does the Bible Say About Controlling Your Emotions!! By Anthony Hopkins

Proverbs 16:32 and Controlling Your Emotions!!

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty: and He that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. I want to start things off by inquiring about you.

I would like to ask all of you. How are you doing today? Fine, I hope. I want to inform all of you that emotions are universal feelings; such as love, hate, or fear. As for me, I have been feeling elated as of late. I am happy because today is my sister’s birthday. She just turned 56 years old today.

Although she is no longer with us, I am very happy to celebrate her birthday as if she is still existing on earth. I miss my sister a whole lot. I miss all of my family members: even though we do not seek one another all of the time. My universal feelings as of late consisted of melancholy. I know that I have faith in God, I tend to ponder a whole lot about my past.

Next, I want to inform all of you that I have been trying to keep my emotions in check by reading the Bible, praying every single day, and attending church on a regular basis.

I am happy because I have a daily reprieve from God. I am happy to be alive. I am a 58-year-old man, who has common sense. I am a very intelligent man, who is highly educated. I will admit that I am a person who has a lot on my mind.

Further, I want to say that God knows all of our feelings as well as how long we are going to live on earth. According to Psalms 139:16 Thine Eyes saw my substance being yet unborn, and Thine saw everything inside of thine Book. You saw me before I was born, and you have ordained the days fashioned for me before I was born.

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that God knows all things and It is Him, who knows all things. I know that God knows how long I am going to live, and He knows what I am doing each day of the week.

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that God’s Son Jesus Christ is my personal savior. I have been a Born-Again Christian since Sunday February 15, 2015. I have been saved for only 8 years now. I am very honest and truthful in my manner and speech. What Does it Mean to Control My Emotions? It means that we have to stay all prayed up and learn how to govern our emotions by doing what is right in the eyes of God.

Finally, I want to say to everyone that God Loves You!! God Bless All of You!! I have been keeping my emotions in check since Wednesday May 2, 1990. This is how long I have been clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. As far as my emotions are concerned, I have had an above average attitude about all of the things that are in my midst. I also realize that I am only a vapor that exists for a short period of time and then vanishes.

In Conclusion, I want to say that I have both good and bad days, but as long as God has me inside of His Hands; I will endure and survive as long as He wants me to. God is in control of everything that exists in our lives. May the Lord God Bless All of You!! Please learn to control your emotions!!

Characteristics of Computer Hackers Mocospace

Characteristics of the Mocospace Computer Hacker

The characteristics of the Mocospace Computer Hacker consist of a man or a group of men who are using women’s profiles as a disguise and literally get away with the crimes. This is an enterprise because the men or group of people work 24 hours per day. At first, they start off as a group of men who are starting a group conversation with the intended victim. How do they obtain the victim’s information is simple. This is obtained through photographs and cell phone numbers that are left online by men who are looking for a good time with a decent woman. At least the victims themselves tend to be single men who are actively looking for a relationship with a younger woman.

The Mocospace Computer Hacker is a person who lies and waits like a snake. He in some cases, there are women who are using computers and laptops as well as I-phones to communicate with their victims. At first, it starts off with a conversation from a female’s profile that is already hacked. Obviously, her information is illegally transferred into an account that the female is not aware of. This starts off by a cutting and pasting of the woman’s photo, particularly, if it is a sexy woman wearing their underwear or something provocative/stimulating.

The locations of these hackers as well as scammers are worldwide. Most of the scams usually take place overseas. Their locations are private as well as their profiles. Whenever a man has a private profile, this means that he has something to hide. There is also a group of hackers who operate as a couple. This is mainly done overseas; particularly in the Continent of Africa. Western Africa to be exact has more MocoSpace Computer Hackers as well as hackers from other websites. They usually start off by gaining information from the victim. This is a process of establishing rapport with the victim. To gain his or her trust is paramount for a computer hacker or scammer. The Mocospace Hacker is a very intelligent individual who has a lot of confidence about himself.

What his primary intentions are is to gain a lot of female friendships with women as much as he can. Then in some cases, there are men who are using a woman’s picture to obtain information from men. This happens quite a lot. There are a lot of men who have their pictures posted onto a female’s profile. Please watch out for this because this means trouble for the victim. This hacker or men using the women’s pictures are operating in the same way as a computer hacker and scammer. The Mocospace Computer Hacker usually leaves a trail behind himself.

If a person who is intelligent and knows what is going on will know how to counter his moves. Women are primary targets especially younger women because the men look for sexy poses and looks. The Mocospace Computer Hacker is a very computer savvy and excellent when it comes to using a computer. They also have their own set of equipment such as a satellite, computers, laptops, I-phones, and Smart-phones that they use on a daily basis. Most of their direct communications always go undetected. They are located inside of warehouses, a private residence, and internet cafes worldwide. These hackers have their own private bank accounts and they use Western Union a whole lot especially when it comes to collecting money.

This money is received in Western Union Funds because most of your scammers and hackers are located overseas. The money itself is collected on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, based on whenever the victim gets paid. In some cases, there are couples who operate as scammers because they are likely to receive more money from men who are not aware of their devious schemes. The MocoSpace Computer Hacker is a person or a group of people who collect women’s photos and pictures on a daily basis. They also have a separate account that is cloned or duplicated. They usually do not pick up their money from the bank. Most of their funds are collected on their cellular phones. They can make deposits and check on their bank accounts as well as online transactions through their smart phones. If these hackers were inside of the United States, they would have been captured by now. However, most of the criminals are located in countries such as Africa, United Kingdom, India, Asia, Russia, Italy, Japan, and Canada. They are located in countries that the United States officials cannot catch them. It is always best to check your accounts very carefully to make sure that no one did not tamper with your account.

What is Karma?  Karma is a cyclical event. Meaning that if you hurt others, God shall punish anyone who deliberately hurt others.  What goes around comes around.  This is the truth according to the Bible.  Therefore, the things that we do in the dark shall come to the light.Galatians 6:7 says that we must reap what we have done.  Do Not be deceived God is not mocked.  This means that God is taking inventory when it comes to our behavior.  I have chosen to allow God to handle all of my affairs.  I already know that He is watching all of us.Next, we must think before we act : People will have to be aware of their own actions.  This topic is very serious!  In my case, I am surrounded by love and hate.  My environment is not conducive towards my needs.  However, I am living in an apartment complex that consists of a hierarchy of criminals.  Further, I really love diversity.  This means that I am open to change.  I really love being around people from all backgrounds of life. Diversity has its advantages and disadvantages.  I am very sorry for changing the topic.  I have allowed minor distractions hinder me.  What God is saying that He wants all of us to live in harmony among ourselves.Finally, I am sending a message to those who I am having problems with.  This is a fact of life.  You shall reap what you are sowing.  God Bless You All.

Put Off The Old Self

Put On The New Self By Anthony Joseph Hopkins
It sounds a bit like throwing on an overcoat or shawl, the concept of “putting on the new self” that is emphasized repeatedly in Scripture. “Is it really that simple?” we might scoff, as if transformation happens as easily as changing our clothing.
But that is exactly what the apostle Paul advises Christian believers to do in Ephesians 4. As he wrote, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24).
What does it mean to “put on the new self” from Ephesians 4:22-24? It means exactly that — to exchange the old self for the new, the old ways and life of sin for the new creation we all are in our lord and savior, Christ Jesus.
Let’s take a look at the context, how we can put on a “new self,” and why it is so important that we do this.
What Does This Verse Mean?
When talking about the new self, Paul is referring to a renewed or regenerated person, one who has turned away from old ways to a new and improved state of being. This new self is a holy and pure self, striving to be like God and free from sin. It’s much like the “new humanity” Paul refers to in Ephesians 2:15, when he speaks of Jews and Gentiles coming together in the body of Christ – a beautiful, transformative version of what once was so imperfect and flawed.
We are to put off, or get rid of, the old version of ourselves — slaves to sin and walking in darkness, destined for death — and instead allow our minds and very souls to endeavor to be like God himself, righteous, true, perfect, and holy. This new self has Christ as our head (Colossians 1:18).
In the original Greek, “putting off” or “putting away” is translated from apotithēmi, which Mounce Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament says means “to lay off, lay down or aside, as garments.” The term “put on” comes from the Greek endyō, meaning to clothe oneself.
In essence, just as we take off an old, worn-out cloak and put on a fine, pristine new one, we are to do the same with the new, Godly self, the self that strives to be sin-free and in perfect alignment with the Lord.
For old and new self, the original Greek used is palaios anthrōpos and kainos anthrōpos. Anthrōpos refers to body, or human frame, specifically the “spiritual frame of the inner man,” according to Mounce’s dictionary. Palaios means “old” and kainos means “new,” or “recently made.” Kainos can also refer to new as in renovated, improved, made better or of higher excellence.
It is clear here that Paul is indeed saying that, like a tattered old coat, we should take off our old self and put on the new and far-improved one — our “Jesus cloak.” We do this by striving to be like Jesus, our God-given role model, God and man in one.
What Is the Context of Ephesians 4?
Paul is writing to the first-century church in Ephesus, largely comprising Gentile followers of Jesus. Much of the entire book of Ephesians is an instructional letter to the people urging them to embrace their identity in Christ.
Paul teaches here that salvation comes only by grace through faith, and he urges the people to do what they can to embrace this new identity so they can join other members of the body of Christ and bring about God’s eternal plan on earth.
Once, these Ephesian believers had been squabbling, ununified fools who worshipped idols and engaged in immoral behavior. But now they had a fundamentally, drastically new character.
Be that new person, Paul is urging his audience. Turn from the old and embrace the new.

As part of this, Paul also in Ephesians 4 encourages the people to draw together in unity and try hard to be mature and responsible, not immature, fickle infants. Indeed, he doesn’t want them to be “Gentiles” or “Jews” at all but God’s own children, precious and good. Don’t do wrong things, like lie or steal. Don’t “give the devil a foothold,” he says in Ephesians 4:27. Encourage each other and focus on kindness and righteousness.
Why Do We Need to Put Off the Old Self?
The old self is like the pile of weeds Jesus himself said was destined for the fire. But the new self, as it is part of the body of Christ, has a higher purpose and is part of God’s plan.
John 1:4-5 says, “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
That light came into the world, but we didn’t recognize him. Yet, John wrote, “To all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God” (John 1:12-13).
This is what is meant when Jesus says in Revelation 21:5, “I am making everything new!” Those of the earth, who love the things of the things of the world.

You are going on a cross country trip.  Airplane Train, Bus, Car, or Bike

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

The first thing that I would do is pray to God,  The Father & Jesus Christ His Son.   I would read the Bible each day even while I am traveling to my destination.   If my trip is less than 1,000 miles, I would catch the Greyhound Bus.  If it is further than 1,000 miles, I would catch the airplane to my destination.

Online Scamming & Human Behavior

Online Scamming and Human Behavior

Online scamming and human behavior is a very serious problem. The definition of online scamming is when a criminal who is online and takes advantage of another person with the use of a computer, cell phone, P.D.A., or telecommunications device. Online scamming has a lot to do with the use of money. Western Union and Money-gram are the best methods of receiving money from their victims. Banks such as Fifth-Third, Chase Manhattan, and Bank of America is examples of banks that receive Western Union Wire Funds transactions.

Further, over half of the online scammers who are online taking advantage of others are men. The online scammers themselves are men and women who are using email addresses, physical addresses, and telephone numbers that do not belong to them. These online scammers usually use cell phone numbers from other countries or other cities that are cloned and copied onto their own cell phone or their own personal computer. Over 80% of the victims who are online who are scammed are men who are on websites that are hacked and utilized by online scammers each day. The online scammers themselves are men who are using women’s profiles on websites such as Yahoo, Black planet, Face book, MySpace, and Moco Space, and MySpace. Among the 80% of the victims who are scammed were using certain websites and were actively searching for a date or an online friend. For example, Blackplanet.Com has received the most complaints from their victims besides face book, MySpace, and Moco Space

Next, online scamming and human behavior are not intertwined. This is because this is classified as a crime that is in progress. This is a consumer fraud investigation. This is because mostly men who have been using women’s profiles on social networking websites such are classified as cyber-criminals. These men use the websites for the sole purpose of perpetrating crimes such as wire fraud, forgery, identity theft, identity fraud, and computer hacking. There are over 100,000 social networking websites that mostly men are accusers of the crimes themselves. There are crimes such as romance scams that men and women are involved in each day. There is a crime that exists when it pertains to social networking websites. This crime is called a romance scam. Romance scams are up in the United States by as high as 70% within the past 10 years. The victims themselves do not realize until the last minute that they have been completely fooled by the online scammers.

Moreover, when it comes to human behavior; men and women are solely responsible for engaging in behaviors that are appropriate or inappropriate. Human behavior indicates that most of our human behavior is learned. 80% of our behavior is learned or is observed through the use of imitating it. This means that we learn our behavior by watching someone else do it.

The men who scammed me out of $16,977 dollars are responsible for meeting me on Black Planet.Com from July 21, 2007 until February 26, 2010. These men were responsible for meeting me online and using the profiles of women that they did not know. The profiles that they have used were from women on Black planet.com who are still living inside of the United States. They lied throughout the whole entire time.

The men pretended to be from Accra, Ghana the whole entire time. Another thing that I have noticed is that my phone calls themselves came from phone numbers that were cloned and copied from the United States and other countries. From March 15, 2008 until February 26, 2010, the phone calls that I had received came from unavailable phone numbers or from Accra, Ghana. However, the crimes occurred in both Charlotte, NC and Dayton, Ohio. The men had pretended to be in Accra, Ghana but they were literally inside of the United States.

This is classified as a crime in progress because these suspects have not been apprehended. They operate out of 24 hour internet cafes inside of the United States. They are responsible for using women’s profiles and the women who the profiles belong to are totally unaware of it. I lost a lot of money simply because of men that are dishonest and incapable of giving another person a chance at happiness. I rely on God and close friends that support me in spite of what I have went through. I am sharing my story because I do not want anyone else to get hurt by the use of romance scams and online scammers. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
