      @@tama3442 Hell isn’t biblical. A place where God burns sinners forever is a manmade lie. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. A loving God would not do such a thing, and to say it makes God sound evil and frightening. The punishment for sinners is the same as Adams punishment. Genesis 3:19 - “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

      @dschaffin Před rokem +14

      @@debrajessen7975 This isn't a theological discussion, but since you seem to be so misled, I can't help but respond. The Bible says your "worm" never dies (Mark 9:42-48). That is your soul. You have to make up your mind where that soul will spend eternity. The Bible and Jesus clearly DO discuss a "hellish" place. Jesus repeatedly states that individuals may be in jeopardy of this damnation.
      Hell in the Old Testament is mentioned 65 times and is referred to as Sheol. Even the Psalmist (Psalm 9:17) says that the wicked will be turned into hell.
      The word Tartarus, used only once in the New Testament, literally means to be cast into hell. Hell is also referred to as Gehenna which was a physical place--a trash dump more or less--with fires that never stopped burning. This was a comparison. Finally, there is Hades, which is referred to at least four times in Revelation. It is clearly a place and a place that will be inhabited by evil, unbelieving souls.
      I guess you could more accurately say that we they will be burning forever in Sheol. But, to say that sinners won't burn would be propagating a lie. Just like the lie Satan told Eve in the garden, twisting the Word of God to suit his evil purpose. She and Adam did die a spiritual death and went on to die a mortal death. This wasn't God's plan. Eve wanted to believe the lie, because it was "prettier" to her; that she could partake in sin with no repercussions. She believed Satan that God was the liar and that is what you are doing here.
      A loving God is a fair and just God. He cannot forget those who love Him and then reward evil. God's love is what gives us free will to make the choices. He allows us to choose sin and evil because forced love is not true love. He wants us to choose to love Him. God isn't worried about how He sounds to the sinner. He hates sin. He wants us all to choose to love Him and to repent of our sin. We are body, soul, and spirit. Once our body dies it will decay, but our spirit and soul will continue. Please remember the character of that original sin and don't fall victim to Satan's lies. Read His Word for yourself.
      No need to respond. You can't change what the Bible clearly states with your loose man-centered interpretation. Changing the Word and its meaning puts you in jeopardy. Don't be the person that causes another to stumble. I just wanted to give you something to think about.

      @debrajessen7975 Před rokem +2

      @@dschaffin Are you claiming that every time the Bible mentions hell, it is referring to a fiery place of torment? Because Acts 2:27 & 31 is telling us about our Lord Jesus was not left in hell, nor his flesh seeing corruption. Should we believe Jesus Christ was in a burning place of torment for three days between his death and resurrection?
      The translators of the KJV have translated the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades sometimes as hell, sometimes as grave and sometimes as pit. I rather think Jesus was in his grave for three days. And when the Bible mentions Sheol or Hades, it is just referring to mankinds common grave.
      When you know that Jesus was talking about about a literal rubbish dump that was outside of Jerusalem when he talked about Gehenna, I don’t really understand why you believe he was using it to prove that a burning place of punishment awaits sinners. No Jew believed that there was life in the grave after death. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 - Ezekiel 18:4 - Psalm 146:3.
      All sinners will receive that same punishment as Adam. They will return to the dust - Genesis 3:19 - with no hope of a resurrection. Adam and Eve have already received their judgment, unrepentant sinners will be judged when our Lord Jesus Christ comes in his glory - Matthew 25:31-46.
      Jesus used Gehenna as a symbol of everlasting destruction. At the dump the worms would consume what the fire didn’t. Carcasses, or dead criminals that were not deemed worthy of burial were thrown there. But nothing living, especially not human, was ever thrown there. We can see this from Jesus’ words recorded at Luke 12:5, he said: “I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear ; fear him, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL...” Sinners will not be alive somewhere being tortured. They will simply be cut off.
      Gehenna is just as symbolic as the lake of fire mentioned in the book of Revelation. How can we see it is symbolic? Because Revelation 20:13, 14 says that death and hell - mankinds common grave - are going to be cast into the lake of fire. Death and hell are not entities that can be picked up, thrown anywhere, or burned. Death is the condition we inherited from Adam - Romans 5:12. But God has promised that death will be done away with - Revelation 21:4. Therefore, when the graves are emptied there will not be anyone dying the Adamic death, and thus no more need for graves. Also in Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8 the scriptures explain what the lake of fire means. It says `it means the second death’. 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

Now we are homesteaders with a small group of dairy goats and I do everything in miniature. Only goat's milk butter is a bit more difficult, I would like to try that with cow's milk.

    Ty for this lesson. You can make super easy cream cheese with whole milk and lemon as well.
    And dont forget easy mozzerella and ricotta(twice cooked) and cottage cheese!
    Give the kids or grands a jar of heavy cream.with a new washer or marble if you have and seal good. Let them shake that up into great butter. Girlscouts was an awesome experience back in the day learning practical skills....

    Carolyn, I used to make yogurt by heating the milk to 110, then added a tbsp of active yogurt to quart jars, top it off with the warm milk, then I'd set them in a clean cooler with hot tap water in it...about halfway up the sides of the jars. 10 hrs later, we'd have yogurt!! Now, I buy buttermilk from the store and when there's half an inch left, I add milk to it, shake it up, cover it with a paper towel and set out overnight and it's done! I did this every week on the same jug just using up what was left, for 2 months straight until I tossed it and started over. It's super thick like yogurt or sour cream, and usually after the first time, the tang goes away and it really tastes like a good plain yogurt.

    I’ve learned so much from watching your channel I’ve grown up in cities so I get most of my food from supermarkets. However growing up I did spend a lot of time in my grandparents garden where they would grow a lot of the wrong food and spend some time in my grandfathers workshop and my grandmothers kitchen. It’s funny to me now that I’m an older guy I think I want to have my own little Homestead now instead of living in cities. So watching your channel I learn a lot and how to make my own food. I do remember something that was taught to me by my great grandmother perhaps it’s something you could implement for your food storage. My grandmother taught me how to make evaporated and condensed milk. When can correctly it can last on the shelf for a couple of years perfect for the winter time when the cows are not producing as much. With the condensed milk my grandmother would use it straight out of the can in coffee‘s to sweeten and cream the mob or she would use it in baking recipes that requires some dairy and sugar. She would use the evaporated milk and much the same way but for recipes that didn’t require sugar has evaporated milk is unsweetened that’s the difference between the two. She would even add evaporated milk to creamy soup recipes like her delicious creamy mushroom soup or creamy veg. Typical Irish cooking. Perhaps this is something you can do if you don’t need cheese or sour cream and you have enough in your fridge you could make yourself up some batches of evaporated and condensed milk. I have to say the things I learned from my grandparents and great grandmother I’m still using today.

    This was most excellent in all respects, a lot of information conveyed concisely & easy to follow, no getting confused between the different projects. Plus, your enthusiastic presentation is inspiring. Well done you!
    I like that you tackled them all at the same time, it's how i like to do things, not one after the other. If i'm prepping veggies for a stew, i usually do a few extra & make a spaghetti sauce & soup too. I spend a little more time in the kitchen, but not as much if i did them on different days & it gives me a few days with no need to cook.

    I have two dairy cows and a big family, so i usually do less at once, but bigger batches, but i still learned a lot watching this video! I have found getting the saltiness just right for cheese to be hard (our water is high in sodium, so brines are harder to make)and i liked watching you salt the curds for cheddar. I would love a follow up on caring for your cheese s as they age - do you wash the rinds? Or vacuum pack? Looking forward to the workshops this week too! Thank you!

      My OB told me "Babies are made from vitamins C and Cholesterol, C to help lay down calcium for bone, and Cholesterol is the fat that coats all the nerves". Pickles are a fake craving for Vitamin C, baked potatoes and butter and sour cream give both, baked is the only way a potato has more C than an orange, other cooking methods destroy it.Your dairy craving is probably for the fat, and may be the calcium.

    I admit that I really like the way that you've stream-lined the process of making everything. I tend to spend more active time just on my cheese making that you did on making everything.
    If you capture the whey from the cheddar cheese, you can use that as your starter the next time instead of the using yogurt or buttermilk. When I make yogurt, I'll add a draining step to make Greek style yogurt; the whey from draining the yogurt could also be used.
    The whey from the fresh cheese cannot be used since it was heated to the point that the cultures were killed.

    What an incredibly interesting and important video! I’m amazed at how easy and uncomplicated you made the process to making all of these dairy products! I was raised on real raw milk that my Mom milked from our Jersey cow named Daisy when I was growing up . My Mom didn’t make anything out of the milk such as dairy products unless she made buttermilk but I don’t ever remember her setting any milk on the counter and allowing it to sour overnight etc.. I think she just put a tbsp of vinegar into a cup of raw milk to make her buttermilk.. we just drank up all the milk and cooked with it and I think she sold a few gallons to friends every once in a while but mainly we drank that delicious rich milk! I think what you have done is absolutely amazing! Now I just wish there was some raw milk available to purchase in my area that I live in . I live in Lonoke AR so if anyone that knows of anyone close to my area that sells raw milk please leave a comment to me ! Thanks for showing us how you made all of your dairy goodie’s! Blessings!💕
