Laus DEO !
While wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ) in the Holy
Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy 8:3) me to hunger right now (Luke
6:21a), I pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that GOD continues to curse
(Jeremiah 17:5) you, who are eternally condemned (Mark 3:29), more
than ever in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
Laus DEO ! ! !
Bottom line:

<begin trichotomy>
(1) Born-again (John 3:3 & 5) humans - Folks who have GOD's Help (i.e.
Holy Spirit) to stop (John 5:14) sinning by being
http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungry (Philippians 4:12) **but** are still
able to choose via their own "free will" to be instead
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) trapped in the
entangling (Hebrews 12:1) deadly (i.e. killed immortals Adam&Eve) sin
of gluttony (Proverbs 23:2).
(2) Eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) humans - Folks who will never have
GOD's Help (i.e. Holy Spirit) to stop being
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (2 Kings 6:29) as evident by their
constant vainjangling (1 Timothy 1:6) about everything except how to
stop (John 5:14) sinning.
(3) Perishing humans - The remaining folks who may possibly (Matthew
19:26) become born-again (John 3:3 & 5) as new (2 Corinthians 5:17)
creatures in Christ.

LIE.
The color of my face in **not** visible here on USENET nor is the
color of my face red for those who can see me.
>He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
>
>'14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'
Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.
That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
would've been no reference to "now."
Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
Scripture.
Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
hunger.
It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
eat food "now."
No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."
Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.
All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to
unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
than ever.
Laus DEO !

someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:
(in a vain attempt to refute posts about being wonderfully hungry)
>Psalms
>81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
>open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only
make His http://HeartMDPhD.com/Redeemed want even more, so that we're
even http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungrier with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD.
Laus DEO !
>Proverbs
>13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of
>the wicked is in need.
Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
(Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).
>Joel
>2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
>the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
>people shall never be ashamed.
Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.
Laus DEO ! !
>Psalms
>107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.
>Acts
>14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by
>giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
>your hearts with food and gladness."
In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

John also wrote earlier at John 5:14 that LORD Jesus commands:

And, indeed, your being eternally condemned (Mark 3:29) & ever more

cognitive deficits, is really worse.
Now again, here's how to really stop sinning as LORD Jesus commands
(John 5:14):
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.bible.prophecy/2-Qpn-o81J4/ldGubKEZAgAJ
While wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ) in the Holy
Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy 8:3) me to hunger right now (Luke
6:21a), I again pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that GOD continues to curse
(Jeremiah 17:5) you, who are eternally condemned (Mark 3:29), more

Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.
That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
would've been no reference to "now."
Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
Scripture.
Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
hunger.
It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
eat food "now."
No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."
Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.
All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to
unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
than ever.
Laus DEO !

(in a vain attempt to refute posts about being wonderfully hungry)
>Psalms
>81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
>open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only
make His http://HeartMDPhD.com/Redeemed want even more, so that we're
even http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungrier with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD.
Laus DEO !
>Proverbs
>13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of
>the wicked is in need.
Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
(Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).
>Joel
>2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
>the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
>people shall never be ashamed.
Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.
Laus DEO ! !
>Psalms
>107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.
>Acts
>14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by
>giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
>your hearts with food and gladness."
In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

>>> Among households that had a serious illness in the past year, one in
>>> five respondents said they had trouble accessing care during the pandemic.
>>> That's a "staggering" number of people unable to access care, says Mary
>>> Findling, the assistant director of the Harvard Opinion Research
>>> Program. "From a health and a good care standpoint, that's just too high."
>>> Other recent studies have found significant delays in cancer screenings,

>>> While it's still early to know the long-term impacts on people's health,
>>> researchers and physicians are concerned, especially as the disruptions
>>> continue with the country's health care system struggling to bounce back
>>>from the pandemic.
>>> The new poll also found that disruptions in care hit some racial and
>>> ethnic groups harder. Among households where anyone had been seriously
>>> ill in the past year, 35% of American Indian and Alaska Native
>>> households and 24% of Black households had trouble accessing care for
>>> serious illness, compared with only 18% of White households.
>>> Among Black respondents who had seen a provider in the past year, 15%
>>> said they were disrespected, turned away, unfairly treated, or received
>>> poor treatment because of their race and ethnicity, compared with only
>>> 3% of White respondents who said the same.
>>> "What's really sad is the racial gaps in health care between Black and
>>> White Americans has remained," says Findling. "And looking across a
>>> broad range of measures, it's better to be a White patient than a Black
>>> patient in America today. And when you just stop and think about that,
>>> that's horrible."
>>> Health insurance wasn't a barrier to access
>>> The vast majority of people – across racial and ethnic groups – who
>>> experienced delays in care reported having health insurance.
>>> "One thing it tells us is that just the provision of more health care
>>> insurance is not going to plug some of these gaps and holes that we're

>>> Saulsberry, a health policy researcher at the University of Chicago, who
>>> worked closely with Findling on the poll.
>>> "There are broader issues at play here," says Findling, like the
>>> historic workforce shortages among health systems. "The pandemic
>>> continues and it's wreaking havoc on everyone."
>>> Saulsberry, who studies health disparities in vulnerable populations,
>>> says that the pandemic has exacerbated those disparities because of a
>>> range of barriers, including a person's zip code.
>>> For example, the state of Georgia, where Kimbrough-Hilson lives, has had
>>> one of the lowest numbers of OB-GYNs in the country for years. Now,
>>> she's having a harder time getting an appointment with one than ever before.
>>> "I've been able to get my teeth done, my eyes checked," she says. "But I
>>> can't get to women's health."
>>> She has a referral from her primary care provider, she says, but it's
>>> for a practice "30 to 40 miles away."
>>> Health systems too overwhelmed for routine care
>>> While the pandemic exacerbated disparities in care, it also overwhelmed
>>> the health care system, causing delays and disruptions across the board,
>>> says Cassie Sauer, CEO of the Washington State Hospital Association.
>>> And it's also taken a huge financial toll, says Dr. Arif Kamal, chief
>>> patient officer at the American Cancer Society. "Some of that is related
>>> to actually taking care of patients who are very complex, who have very
>>> serious illnesses due to COVID-19," he says. "But also during that time

>>> stopped, for example, elective surgeries."
>>> As a result, preventive services and early detection activities – not
>>> the "highest margin activities" for health systems – have taken a back

>>> "Over the last two years we estimate about 6 million women, for example,

>>> In the meantime, health systems are continuing to feel the repercussions

>>> Sauer has experienced this at work and in her personal life.
>>> "In my own family, we have struggled to get access to health care for my

Long-COVID is a very big "iceberg" that afflicts millions of Britons
and is possibly the root cause of most if not all of the excess
"non-COVID" deaths in the U.K. at the moment during this on-going
pandemic. Folks with Long-COVID typically no longer test positive with
either PCR or antigen and thus are being categorized as "non-COVID"
possibly unto their deaths from either suicide (Long-COVID-brain) or
heart attack (Long-COVID-heart).

While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over food don't have
COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
including especially caring to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward
(John 15:12 as shown by http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest ) with all
glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm112_1 ) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba,
DEO), in the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
Laus DEO !

>>> Under a 'mild scenario', the scientists estimated that one in 400 people

>>> Covid's in mid-2021 and the 2009 bird flu outbreak.

>>> Bird flu outbreak: Everything you need to know
>>> What is it?
>>> Avian flu is an infectious type of influenza that spreads among birds.
>>> In rare cases, it can be transmitted to humans through close contact
>>> with a dead or alive infected bird.
>>> This includes touching infected birds, their droppings or bedding.
>>> People can also catch bird flu if they kill or prepare infected poultry
>>> for eating.
>>> Wild birds are carriers, especially through migration.
>>> As they cluster together to breed, the virus spreads rapidly and is then
>>> carried to other parts of the globe.
>>> New strains tend to appear first in Asia, from where more than 60
>>> species of shore birds, waders and waterfowl head off to Alaska to breed
>>> and mix with migratory birds from the US. Others go west and infect
>>> European species.
>>> What strain is currently spreading?
>>> H5N1.
>>> So far the new virus has been detected in some 80million birds and
>>> poultry globally since September 2021 — double the previous record the
>>> year before.
>>> Not only is the virus spreading at speed, it is also killing at an
>>> unprecedented level, leading some experts to say this is the deadliest
>>> variant so far.
>>> Millions of chickens and turkeys in the UK have been culled or put into
>>> lockdown, affecting the availability of Christmas turkey and free-range

>>> Can it infect people?
>>> Yes, but only 860 human cases have been reported to the World Health
>>> Organization since 2003.
>>> The risk to people has been deemed 'low'.
>>> But people are strongly urged not to touch sick or dead birds because
>>> the virus is lethal, killing 56 per cent of people it does manage to infect.
