KCM.

Perhaps you're here because you've heard about this ministry.

And for many of you, perhaps you're a part of this ministry right now.

Regardless, let's take some moments to explain what KCM is about.

KCM is a missional parachurch ministry that seeks to raise up missionaries in

the places we're at right now. Studying and grades are important but,

for the glory of God, KCM exists to mobilize and disciple collegians to be

obedient for the local mission of God by being missional on campus.

For collegians, that means obeying the Great Commission by being disciples in the campuses that

God has placed us in.

KCM is an overseas missions organization. For the glory of God, we seek to mobilize

and disciple college students to be obedient to the global mission of God to

proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth. You see, we believe that the

Great Commission isn't just local, but to the farthest reaches of the world.

For that purpose, through STSM, or Short Term Summer Missions, we want to give

students opportunities to make disciples, not only on our campuses but to the

parts of the world where people do not know the name of Jesus.

And finally, KCM is there during a pivotal juncture in life, when we we're trying to

figure out our purpose and what to do with our lives. At this an injection of

our faith, we believe that God has placed KCM to convict us to live for something greater:

To behold and treasure the glory of God in a way where we cannot

trade the glory of God for lesser things.

And for Christ's glory to be upheld above all else.

Is Ronaldo Going to Prison? No. | Heavy.com

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly accepted a suspended two-year prison sentence after the soccer star was accused of tax fraud by Spanish authorities.

Ronaldo will pay $21.7 million to ensure his liberty, according to Spanish press reports on Friday.

Ronaldo agreed to the suspended prison sentence just hours before he was set to play with Portugal against Spain in the World Cup, according to El Mundo.

Ronaldo, who normally plays for Real Madrid and is considered one of the two best players in the world, was accused of defrauding Spain's tax authority of $17.7 million in relation to his image rights between 2011 and 2014, USA Today reports.

Although he accepted the suspension, will Ronaldo actually serve any jail time? According to USA Today, the answer is: no, due to the lack of prior convictions.

"He initially denied tax evasion when the case was first presented and no resolution was found in the meantime.

However, accepting a deal means that he would serve no jail time – as he has no prior convictions on his record.".

Ronaldo's first settlement offer was rejected by prosecutors, but they finally settled on the sentence listed above.

Although he won't serve any time behind bars at the moment, that could change if he is "taken to task for subsequent infractions within the set, two-year period," Sports Illustrated reports.

This is a breaking news story.

Heavy will update as more information is known.

When Kings Were Gods - Government is Religion - 4 - Duration: 5:38.

What's the relationship between kings and gods?

The first kings were gods and I think that's very very important to

remember, because it kind of breaks the mold of "hey, these are two completely

separate things, what are they doing overlapping, never the two shall meet"

Basically to remember distinctly that politics and religion first of all

were the same thing, still are understood as essentially the same thing in other

cultures, and that basically this separation

of church and state or of King and God is actually an upgrade. It's an upgrade

to the religious structure because back when Kings were gods, shit would get

awkward every time one of them died. Like there are stories about

how the North Koreans were freaking out when Kim Sr. died and some

weren't sure if the sun was gonna rise next day - not sure how true that is.

There's a lot of upheaval when you think that God's dead. So the model of making the

king - instead of the king being a god, which was the case. An example like

with Nimrod. Of Sumer? Yes.

Nimrod's father Tammuz was the king and the god and his wife Semiramis was

his queen, and when he died suddenly things got weird, and in my opinion she realized "Oh crap -

there goes all my power, my comfortable lifestyle" and so on. So she

probably got one of the high priests to fuck her immediately.

Anyway she became pregnant fairly quickly

and pulled out the high priest alongside her and announced "Hey guys, calm down

God's not dead, he's been reborn."

"I'm pregnant with him and it's it's him again." So this is

what was needed that the Trinity story, the story of the King, the

father being reborn as the son was required to create continuity in this

awkward story of "the king is gone, God is the king." So this is is actually an upgrade, when

the King becomes merely a representative of God, then when the

King dies you just some more representatives

So the Divine Right of Kings was to make it easier.

Right, it makes it way easier than the divine king because when you have a divine king,

you've got a mortality problem. When you have a Divine Right of Kings

all you need is for the high priests to anoint the next one.

It's an upgrade it makes the whole structure more resilient.

Nasim Taleb would be proud of that development. Suddenly it's not all hinging on the life

of a king. The death of a king would would wouldn't really be a problem

Thank you so much. Mmm I'd say "Ching" but then we'd all go

to hell. Can't cheers a non-alcoholic drink.

So basically it you can see how it eases the continuity. If the King

is just a representative of the deity, the King can die and just

be replaced. A good example of this would be when half the Russian

government disappeared into the Ural in a burning

wreckage of plane debris, nobody for a second

thought that Mother Russia was mortally wounded. Mother Russia - power

animal: bear. Gender: female. No one thought that Mother Russia was mortally wounded - she just got

new reps. Simple as that. Problem solved. So you've got the

structure where you have a an overarching deity, assigned a power animal

and gender, it's casually spoken about as if it has desires and characteristics and acts.

"Uncle Sam is paying" Is he? Not literally.

Russia's doing this, Mexico doesn't like that.

The most insidious one for us is of course "We did this. We, Mexico had a war with them, the US."

Yeah, that just shows the totemic nature of these deities because again

the totem was never a representative of for example, the bear

or the wolf or the eagle, whatever it was. It was a representative of we the people.

Doesn't make it any less of a deity, and there's a good argument I've

seen that even even the Abrahamic God and so forth is a representation of

the people

Elohim was supposed to be a fertility god.

Elohim is plural isn't it?

That's true - in most cases fertility requires plurality.

That makes sense - it's not "I Am", it's "We are".

That fits right in with that tribal theory.
