No they don’t care about that one any more, the OEM knew they want to replace at a later date

It seems hatred is a vice that has much in common with alcoholism. You start off hating for what you think are perfectly good reasons, but sooner or later you find yourself hating just to hate. I've had a difficult few conversations with people about our new achbishop, who happens to be a lesbian. I think this is something to be celebrated, but a lot of my brothers in christ don't see it the same way

They don’t read the word? I’m not a Christian, but even I know it’s judge not, and love thy brother as thyself.

They do, but people quite often seem to have this wilful blindness when it comes to their personal beliefs and conduct. They've assimilated the idea that it's bad to hate, but they reason: I'm not bad, so my behaviour can't be motivated by hate. This seems to me to be the principle mechanism of hypocrisy in the world today. They also often reason "You can't pick and choose, if the bible says X about Y, then you have to obey". The problem with that is that I think you have to pick and choose. The bible is large and contains multitudes. Conversely, I've noticed that a lot of christians are more keen on the verses prohibiting homosexuality than they are on- say- the parts prohibiting lending money at interest. Were it not necessary to pick and choose, if those parts of the old testament had delivered what the almighty requires of us, the son wouldn't have needed to assume human form and come down to earth. There needs to be a certain degree of nuance and above all application to one's personal conduct.

Wow. There is a lot to dissect in your post. Where exactly is your faith directed?
No one 'has' to pick and choose (in the active sense). We are graced with the ability to CHOOSE to choose. We can make a choice or not. Yes, I know that is a form of choice that does result in an outcome but that comes later. Applying personal conduct to this is very hard to understand.
This is sometimes seen as the 'curse' of free will dolled out on us after the fall of Adam and Eve.

I use to enjoy tea immensely, drank a lot of Chinese and Japanese tea. But since the gastritis diagnosis I have not been able to drink any tea. Yesterday I came across an unopened bag of Chinese black buckwheat tea. That lead me to do a little research, it appears that buckwheat tea is potentially good for gastritis..... I am currently enjoying a cup of black buckwheat tea, as I did yesterday morning.... I'm a happy Xue Sheng
Strongly recommend this tea.

Green tea can have both positive and negative effects on gastritis:
- Benefits: Green tea has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help reduce inflammation in the stomach lining and protect against damage. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of H. pylori, a bacteria linked to gastritis.
3 - Risks: However, green tea contains caffeine and other compounds that can irritate the stomach lining, potentially causing symptoms like stomach pain and nausea in some individuals.
1 - Recommendation: If you have gastritis, it's advisable to monitor your body's response to green tea and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

In summary, while green tea may offer some benefits for gastritis, it can also cause irritation, so moderation is key.

The other thing you can use is fireweed (Rosebay willowherb- Chamaenarion angustifolium). It genuinely tastes very much like tea, but it takes a little preparation. You have to take a handful of leaves, rub them into a little ball and dry them.
